Buff Korean Guy Selling Watermelons On The Street Becomes Internet Sensation

Imagine driving on the street one day and coming across this fruit seller...

Image via Lee Won (Facebook)

Lee Won, who is a 40-year-old professional Korean bodybuilder, has shaken the Internet after he was recently seen selling watermelons on the streets of Vietnam

Image via Lee Won (Facebook)

Wearing nothing but a loincloth, the unusual sight didn't just cause heads to turn on the road. Photos shared on 5 February showing Lee pleasantly smiling at passers-by have since spread all over Vietnam's media.According to news portal Thanh Niên, Lee has been living in the country with his wife for the past two years and works as a trainer at a gym called FitPlus.

Image via Lee Won (Facebook)

Apart from his muscular physique, there's an interesting story behind the gym instructor's unique dressing

Lee explained to Thanh Niên that he decided to wear the cloth inspired by the legend of Mai An Tiem – a character who was believed to have first brought watermelons to Vietnam.

Image via Lee Won (Facebook)

The story is about an adopted prince named Mai An Tiem who believed in working to earn his own possessions, even turning down the king's offer to give him food. Offended by this, the king exiled him to a deserted island.On the island, he discovered seeds that birds would drop on the beach. He cultivated those seeds and they grew into watermelons. He then began trading the fruit with fishermen who passed by, eventually making a living for himself. Shocked to find out that his son was still alive, the king allowed Mai An Tiem to return to the mainland and his son's actions proved to the king that his words were true.

Image via Lee Won (Facebook)

After hearing the legend from one of his students, Lee felt inspired by Mai An Tiem's traits of resilience and courage – all of which are characteristics that he feels fitness instructors also have to carry

Wanting to convey a message to the public to "always be yourself but live healthier, live better, and live more active", he borrowed a watermelon vendor's truck, bought watermelons from the vendors, and set up the stall. He said that at first he felt shy when people on the road were just looking at him and taking pictures. However, when several aunties recognised that he dressed up as tribute to Mai An Tiem, and exclaimed "How beautiful!", he felt his confidence increase.

Image via Lee Won (Facebook)

Naturally, people on the Internet have been loving and supporting Lee's message

Image via Facebook

Several others also cheekily commented that they're craving watermelons all of a sudden

6 Sebab Utama Kenapa Ibu Bapa Tak Perlu Halang Anak-Anak 'Explore' Dan Bermain

Bukan senang nak membesarkan anak-anak

Image via SAYS

Barangkali, salah satu perkara paling mencabar dalam menjadi ibu bapa ialah memberi kebebasan. Sesetengah ibu bapa berasa sukar untuk membiarkan anak-anak meneroka dan bermain terutamanya ketika mereka masih kecil.

Sebenarnya, ibu bapa tak perlu terlalu risau. Di sini ada beberapa sebab yang mungkin dapat meyakinkan ibu bapa untuk membiarkan anak bermain:

1. Lumrah semula jadi kanak-kanak untuk bermain

Image via SAYS

Dah nama pun kanak-kanak, tak kan kita expect mereka untuk duduk diam pula. Betul tak? Kanak-kanak mana boleh duduk diam untuk jangka masa yang lama. Mesti mereka akan bosan dan mula explore dan cari apa sahaja benda yang mereka boleh main di sekeliling.Mereka memang tak pernah kenal erti penat. Ternyata, bermain dan kanak-kanak tidak dapat dipisahkan. Jadi biarlah mereka bermain, asalkan dalam persekitaran yang selamat.

2. Anak-anak akan jadi lebih aktif dan kreatif

Image via SAYS

Ini merupakan fasa terpenting untuk perkembangan minda mereka. Kalau kanak-kanak jadi pasif, daya kreativiti mereka mungkin akan terjejas kerana mereka tidak banyak bermain.Halangan ibu bapa juga boleh memberi perasaan khuatir atau takut dalam diri kanak-kanak yang boleh membataskan daya pemikiran mereka untuk pergi lebih jauh. Mereka akan lebih berjaga-jaga dan dalam masa yang sama hilang minat untuk bereksplorasi.

3. Bermain dapat merangsang otak

Image via SAYS

Dengan bermain, imaginasi kanak-kanak akan melangkau ke satu alam fantasi yang tiada batasan. Ini akan merangsang otak dan menjadikan pemikiran mereka lebih luas. Sekali gus, minda kanak-kanak akan berkembang pesat dan lebih banyak sel dapat dihubungkan dengan baik.Lebih-lebih lagi jika kanak-kanak didedahkan dengan dunia luar, lebih banyak perkara yang mereka boleh terokai. Pengalaman yang dikutip pasti berbaloi untuk tumbesaran mereka.

4. Anak-anak akan sihat dan tak tertekan

Image via SAYS

Bermain ialah satu aktiviti yang menyihatkan tubuh badan. Selain itu, ia juga mampu melenyapkan tekanan. Kanak-kanak yang banyak bermain semestinya berbeza kondisi kesihatan dan keriangan mereka berbanding yang pasif.Selain memberi pemakanan yang baik, ibu bapa juga perlu memastikan anak-anak mereka sihat dengan melakukan aktiviti-aktiviti yang bermanfaat. Kanak-kanak juga pasti akan lebih gembira dan ceria.

5. Bermain juga adalah belajar

Image via SAYS

Belajar bukan hanya dalam kelas, atau melalui tunjuk ajar oleh seseorang. Bermain juga adalah satu proses pembelajaran. Kanak-kanak pasti akan mempelajari cara untuk selesaikan sesuatu masalah ketika bermain, malah turut boleh menguasai sesuatu kemahiran dengan pantas.Dengan bermain juga, kanak-kanak akan dapat mengutip pengalaman yang luas dan menghadapi rintangan secara first-hand. Pastinya pengalaman yang dikutip ini tidak boleh ditukar ganti dengan perkara lain.

6. Interaksi dengan ibu bapa

Image via SAYS

Ibu bapa perlu luangkan lebih banyak masa berkualiti bersama anak-anak ketika mereka masih kecil lagi kerana mereka akan belajar untuk melihat, mendengar, dan melakukan apa yang ibu bapa buat.Aktiviti yang simple seperti berbual, membacakan buku, menyanyi lagu, dan bermain dengan mainan akan membantu merangsang minda mereka yang sedang berkembang. Malah, perkara-perkara ini juga dapat mengeratkan lagi hubungan ibu bapa dengan si manja.

Lebih bagus lagi, maksimumkan hubungan sel-sel otak anak-anak anda agar mereka mampu mencapai potensi sepenuhnya

Image via Anmum Essential

Walaupun bermain dan interaksi dengan anak-anak adalah sangat penting, mereka juga perlu diberi pemakanan yang baik bagi perkembangan minda yang optimum. Anmum Essential menyediakan segala nutrien yang penting untuk tumbesaran kanak-kanak.Dirumus khas dengan Mind-Q Connect, Anmum Essential mengandungi DHA dan 2 kali lebih GA. DHA dan GA adalah kombinasi nutrien penting bagi menyokong perkembangan dan hubungan sel-sel otak. Semakin banyak sel-sel otak berhubung, semakin cepat kanak-kanak belajar dan berkembang dari segi mental, emosi, dan sosial.

Thai Woman Who Donated RM250K After Winning Lottery In 2017 Won Top Prize Again In 2018

The phrase "lightning doesn't strike twice" clearly doesn't apply to 53-year-old Suwana from Ang Thong, Thailand.
After winning the top lottery prize in 2017, she was lucky enough to hit the jackpot again the following year.

Image via Shin Min Daily News/Facebook

With RM3,864,893 (THB30,000,000) in the bag from her first lottery win, an unplanned purchase led her to a RM1,545,957 (THB12,000,000) prize in 2018, Shin Min Daily News reported.

According to Suwana, she only bought her winning lottery ticket after feeling pity towards a lottery ticket seller

She decided to help the man by buying his remaining seven lottery tickets, one of which turned out to be the top prize.

The woman may have good karma to thank for her luck.
Out of the RM3 million Suwana won through the lottery in 2017, she had donated RM257,708 (TBH2,000,000) to build a temple.

According to Mothership, she had been donating much of her winnings throughout the years.Suwana revealed that she will continue to do so in the future through Dana, a Buddhist practice of giving to those in need.

You're an inspiration, Suwana! We hope to be as giving (and lucky) as you.

What Do Viruses, Trojans, Worms, And Malware Actually Do?

What is a Virus? What does it do?

Image via wired.co.uk

In the strictest sense, a virus is a program that copies itself and infects a PC, spreading from one file to another, and then from one PC to another when the files are copied or shared.

        lifehacker.com

Just as a biological virus replicates itself in a human cell, a computer virus replicates itself  in computer memory when initiated by the user. Not only they replicate themselves but may also contain some malicious codes which can affect your files, your operating system or even your master boot records thereby making your computer start slow or not boot at all.

        guidingtech.com

Most viruses attach themselves to executable files, but some can target a master boot record, autorun scripts, MS Office macros, or even in some cases, arbitrary files. Many of these viruses, like CIH, are designed to render your PC completely inoperable, while others simply delete or corrupt your files—the general point is that a virus is designed to cause havoc and break stuff.

        lifehacker.com

As a virus always needs a human action to initiate itself, in a computer most of them attach themselves to an executable .exe file because it knows eventually the user will double click on it to run it and that’s all it needs to infect the computer. Yes, unfortunately, most viruses are inadvertently initiated by the computer users themselves and hence it is important that when you install and run programs, you know beforehand that you got them from a trusted source.

        guidingtech.com

You can protect yourself from viruses by making certain your antivirus application is always updated with the latest definitions and avoiding suspicious looking files coming through email or otherwise. Pay special attention to the filename—if the file is supposed to be an mp3, and the name ends in .mp3.exe, you're dealing with a virus.

        lifehacker.com

What is Malware? What does it do?

Image via identitytheftmanifesto.com

The word Malware is short for malicious software, and is a general term used to describe all of the viruses, worms, spyware, and pretty much anything that is specifically designed to cause harm to your PC or steal your information. The term computer virus is often used interchangeably with malware, though the two don't actually have the same meaning.

        lifehacker.com

Malware is the big umbrella term. It covers viruses, worms and Trojans, and even exploit code. But not vulnerabilities or buggy code, or products whose business practices you don’t necessarily agree with. The difference between malware and vulnerabilities is like the difference between something and the absence of something. In this case, malware is a something. You can see it, interact with it, and analyze it. A vulnerability is a weakness in innocent software that a something (like malware or a hacker) can go through.

        intego.com

What is a Worm? What does it do?

Image via cornell.edu

Practically a worm is an evolved form of a virus. Like virus, worms too replicate and spread themselves but it happens on a bit larger scale. Also, unlike virus, a worm does not need a human action to replicate and spread and that’s what makes it more dangerous.

        guidingtech.com

Computer worms use the network to send copies of themselves to other PCs, usually utilizing a security hole to travel from one host to the next, often automatically without user intervention. Because they can spread so rapidly across a network, infecting every PC in their path, they tend to be the most well-known type of malware, although many users still mistakenly refer to them as viruses.

        lifehacker.com

As the infection is network-based, a good firewall along with antivirus is necessary to control worm attack. Also, this means that blindly downloading email attachments or clicking the links friends share with you in a chat window isn't recommended. Double-check before you do that.

        guidingtech.com

Some of the most famous worms include the ILOVEYOU worm, transmitted as an email attachment, which cost businesses upwards of 5.5 billion dollars in damage. The Code Red worm defaced 359,000 web sites, SQL Slammer slowed down the entire internet for a brief period of time, and the Blaster worm would force your PC to reboot repeatedly.

        lifehacker.com

What is Trojan? What does it do?

Image via webadvices.com

Trojan horse or simply Trojan is a bit interesting. Trojan horse is a program that appears useful by pretending to do certain things in foreground, but in reality they are working silently in background with the only objective of harming your computer and/or stealing valuable information.

        guidingtech.com

Trojans really have only one purpose, and that is to cause damage. They often have identical destructive functionality to some viruses; they just lack the ability to spread on their own. Trojans must be planted somewhere people are likely to run across them (like Flashback), or they must be sent directly (like in a targeted attack such as Imuler). This confusion is what leads some people to refer to things as “Trojan viruses,” even though those two terms are mutually exclusive.

        intego.com

In many cases, trojans will create a backdoor that allows your PC to be remotely controlled, either directly or as part of a botnet—a network of computers also infected with a trojan or other malicious software. The major difference between a virus and a trojan is that trojans don't replicate themselves—they must be installed by an unwitting user.

        lifehacker.com

Once your PC has been infected with the trojan, it can be used for any number of nefarious purposes, like a denial of service (DoS) attack against a web site, a proxy server for concealing attacks, or even worse—for sending out buckets of spam. Protection against trojans works the same way as viruses—make sure that your antivirus application is up to date, don't open suspicious attachments, and think long and hard before you try and use a downloaded crack for Photoshop—that's one of malware authors' favorite spots to hide a trojan.

        lifehacker.com

What is a Spyware? What does it do?

Image via netdna-cdn.com

Spyware is a type of program that is installed without your permission on your personal computers to collect information about users, their computer or browsing habits tracks each and everything that you do without your knowledge and send it to remote user. It also can download other malicious programs from internet and install it on the computer.

        symantec.com

They don’t harm your computer in any way. Instead, they attack you! Once installed on a system they run in background and keep on collecting user’s personal data. These data can include your credit card numbers, passwords, important files and many other personal stuff.

        guidingtech.com

Since spyware is primarily meant to make money at your expense, it doesn't usually kill your PC—in fact, many people have spyware running without even realizing it, but generally those that have one spyware application installed also have a dozen more. Once you've got that many pieces of software spying on you, your PC is going to become slow.

        lifehacker.com

What many people don't realize about spyware is that not every antivirus software is designed to catch spyware. You should check with the vendor to make sure the application you are using to protect you from malware is actually checking for spyware as well. If you come across a PC that is already heavily infected, run a combination of MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware to clean it thoroughly.

Penang Laksa Isn't The Only Laksa Out There. You Need To Try Them All. Like Really.

Growing up in Penang, I'd only known of one type of laksa for most of my life - the Penang asam laksa. Only when Laksa Shack opened its doors in Queensbay Mall circa 2006 did I realise there were at least three other types of laksa out there.

Image via MAAQOUL / Mass Pictures

Ranked 7th in CNN Travel's '50 Best Foods In The World' list in 2011, the Penang assam laksa's main distinguishing feature is its spicy-sour soup base made from shredded ikan kembung or mackerel fish and asam (tamarind). It is usually served with thick rice noodles and garnished with finely-sliced vegetables including cucumber, onions, red chillies, pineapple, lettuce, common mint, "daun kesum" (Vietnamese mint or laksa mint), pink bunga kantan (torch ginger), and optionally, "hae ko" (a thick, sweet prawn/shrimp paste).

A popular dish in Peranakan cuisine, which is a combination of Chinese and Malay cooking, the origin of the name 'laksa' is unclear save for the following theories:

			1. Derived from the Urdu/Persian lakshah (referring to a type of vermicelli), which in turn could have originated from the Sanskrit lakshas, meaning "one hundred thousand".2. Derived from the Chinese phrase la sha (辣沙), which directly translates to "spicy sand" due to the sandy or gritty texture of the soup from ground dried prawns.3. Derived from a similar-sounding Hokkien phrase "la sam", meaning dirty due to the dish's appearance.

While the Penang variant seems to be the most well-known to foodies, check out some of its equally (if not more) delicious Malaysian siblings:

1. Curry laksa

Image via i am fat / sourceofrecipes

Curry laksa has a coconut-based curry soup with ingredients such as bean curd puffs (tau pok), sliced fish sticks, prawns, and cockles thrown in. It is typically garnished with Vietnamese coriander (daun kesum in Malay) and topped off with a spoonful of sambal chilli paste.  The curry laksa is called "curry mee" in Penang, as it is served with yellow mee and/or beehoon as opposed to white laksa noodles. Congealed pork blood may also be added to the dish.

Image via CK Lam

2. Laksa lemak a.k.a Nyonya laksa

Image via This Is Why We're Fat

Heavily influenced by Thai laksa, the laksa lemak is made with strongly-spiced coconut gravy, giving it a distinctively rich and slightly-sweet taste. The dish is usually served with rice vermicelli, prawns, onions, mango slices, chicken strips, and chilli.

3. Sarawak laksa

Image via TheFoodPolice

Sarawak laksa is actually very different from the curry laksa as the soup does not contain curry at all. The base is usually made from sambal belacan, sour tamarind (asam), garlic, galangal, lemongrass, and lightly thickened with coconut milk. It is usually served with rice vermicelli topped with omelette strips, chicken strips, prawns, bean sprouts, fresh coriander, and lime.

4. Johor laksa

Image via Norzaini's blog

Johor laksa is a little bit more Western compared to the other variants; it is served with spaghetti instead of the normal rice noodles or vermicelli. The curry-like gravy contains coconut milk, kerisik, dried prawns, lemongrass, galangal and other spices, while garnishing comprises of onion slices, beansprouts, mint leaves, Vietnamese coriander, cucumber, and pickled white radish. Sambal belacan is also placed at the side along with a slice of lime.

5. Laksam

Image via Kuih Kelantan

A specialty dish in Kelantan, Terengganu, and Kedah, no curry paste is involved in making laksam. Thick, flat white rice flour noodles are served in a rich and full-bodied white gravy made from boiled fish or eel and coconut milk. The dish is traditionally eaten with hands rather than with eating utensils due to the gravy's consistency.

6. Terengganu laksa

Image via Virtual Malaysia

The main ingredient of Terengganu laksa is ikan kembung (round scad mackerel) which is boiled and then minced before it is fried with onions, garlic, ginger, datil pepper, belacan, 'kantan' flower, Vietnamese coriander or 'daun kesum', lemon grass and dried tamarind slices. Coconut milk is then added in until the mixture becomes thick. The gravy is poured over white laksa noodles and served with 'ulam' (raw vegetables) and blended chilli o the side.

7. Kelantan laksa

Image via Miss Tam Chiak

The little-known Kelantan laksa is a very simple bowl of thick rice beehoon in gravy and topped with julienned cucumber, laksa leaves, and chilli paste. The main star in this dish is its tasty and chunky gravy, made with boiled, minced mackerel, thick coconut milk, lemongrass, shallots, garlic, dried tamarind, palm sugar and salt.

What You Should Know About The Resignation Of Abdul Samad Alias From 1MDB's Advisory Board

Dr. Abdul Samad Alias, the former 1MDB Advisory Board member, said he resigned from his post in the state-fund after his repeated requests for a briefing on the debt-ridden firm's state of affairs over a period of 6 months were ignored. The Chairman of Malaysia Deposit Insurance Corporation (PIDM) said this on 7 September at a National Conference on Governance, Risk and Control, held in KL.

Image via Chart Nexus

"I requested for a briefing on the company's profit and losses. I waited for six months, but there were no briefings. I quit after that."Speaking at the Conference, Dr. Abdul Samad said he made the decision to quit from 1MDB's Advisory Board about 6 weeks ago. "On July 29, I submitted my letter of resignation."It should be noted that Dr. Abdul Samad had been appointed to the 1MDB Advisory Board, which is chaired by PM Najib Razak, on 21 January this year. And the date of his resignation, 29 July, makes the whole duration of his stay, just over one week in addition to the time period, 6 months, he claims he requested and waited for a briefing on 1MDB's state of affairs. Which means that since the date he came onboard, he was never actually briefed on the company's profits and losses even once.In a statement released at the time of his appointment, 1MDB Chairman Lodin Wok Kamaruddin had said the firm was proud of Dr Abdul Samad's entry as he was a much-respected individual in the Malaysian financial community, reported TMI.

In response to Dr. Abdul Samad's claims, 1MDB has expressed regret but said that the board respects Dr. Abdul Samad's decision to resign and wishes him all the best in his future endeavours

"1MDB notes media reports today on the resignation of Tan Sri Abdul Samad Alias from the 1MDB Board of Advisors. Whilst we very much regret his departure, we fully respect his decision and wish Tan Sri Samad all the best in his future endeavours," 1MDB said.The statement did not include any reason for his resignation.

        astroawani.com

A day later, on 8 September, 1MDB said that contrary to what Dr. Abdul Samad claimed, the board did not ignore his 'repeated requests' as the former 1MDB Advisory Board member was indeed briefed about the state fund's affairs on at least two occasions

"1MDB can confirm that our president and group executive director Arul Kanda personally met Samad in January and March 2015 to discuss the company's affairs. Among other information, Arul Kanda shared with Samad details of the 1MDB strategic review and rationalisation plan.This included a slide presentation which showed the extent of future debt and interest obligations of the company, and a discussion on proposals to address the key issues facing the company," it said in a statement today.

        malaysiakini.com

Image via The Malay Mail Online

The board also said that it did not receive any requests from him

The firm said Samad would have had full access to its audited financials, apart from various 1MDB Board members including its president and group executive director Arul Kanda Kandasamy, if he had made such a request during his time on the advisory board."Abdul Samad has the contact details of various 1MDB board members, including the mobile phone number of Arul Kanda. However, 1MDB did not receive any 'repeated requests' for information as claimed by Tan Sri Samad,” the company said in a statement.

        themalaymailonline.com

The state fund said the audited financials of 1MDB are public documents and could have most definitely shared them with Abdul Samad had any requests been made.

        malaysiakini.com

In an attempt to clear the air, 1MDB said it will seek a meeting with Dr. Abdul Samad even though he was no longer an adviser

"The 1MDB board of directors has today sent a letter to Tan Sri Samad to seek a meeting with him to discuss and clarify any outstanding concerns," it said in a statement.

        therakyatpost.com

Amidst all this, reputable corporate figure Nazir Razak, who is the brother of PM Najib Razak, has questioned what signal was being sent to government-linked companies (GLC) and agencies when state-owned 1MDB could deny information to its own adviser

“Respected, honest, professional appointed by the Govt and welcomed by the Chairman with fanfare. But denied access to information by management. If this is true and tolerated, what message does it send to other GLC’s/agencies?” asked the CIMB Group chairman in his Instagram account, Tuesday.

    Respected, honest professional appointed by the Govt and welcomed by the Chairman with fanfare. But denied access to information by management. If this is true and tolerated, what message does it send to other GLC's / agencies? A photo posted by Nazir Razak (@nazir.razak) on Sep 7, 2015 at 4:12pm PDT

To which, the finance ministry-owned company said they "regret to note" Nazir's statement on the issue, saying that third parties "who have no direct knowledge of the facts" are issuing "speculative opinions" based on Dr. Abdul Samad's statements on 7 September

"We regret to note that today, third parties such as Nazir Razak, who have no direct knowledge of the facts, are issuing speculative opinions on certain statements made on Sept 7 by Abdul Samad Alias, a former member of the 1MDB board of advisers," 1MDB said in a statement today.

        malaysiakini.com

Meanwhile, weighing on the whole issue, Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching raised a very pertinent question, saying the fact that when 1MDB's own Advisory Board member cannot get information from the state-owned fund, it does not bode well for ordinary Malaysians concerned about the finance ministry-owned firm's huge debt

Image via TRP

"If a member of the advisory board also could not get a briefing on the status of the company, how can the rest of us get access to the real financial standing of the company?" she said in a statement today.Furthermore, Teo pointed out, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, against whom serious allegations related to the 1MDB issue have been made, heads the 1MDB advisory board."Did he (Najib) know that a member of his board had repeatedly requested for a briefing? Did he know that the request was not entertained for a period of six months? If 1MDB and Najib himself have nothing to hide, why is it so difficult to arrange a briefing for its advisory board member?" Teo asked.

        malaysiakini.com

Her sentiments were echoed by DAP's Lim Guan Eng:

“Even the advisor appointed by the Barisan Nasional federal government could not get any information on the 1MDB financial scandal so this shows that there is no hope for us to find out what happened with the RM42 billion,” he told reporters after a photo session with municipal council workers at the investiture ceremony at Dewan Sri Pinang here.

BBC Claims The Seremban-Made Yee Sang Was Created By 4 Singaporean Chefs

For years, the origin of Yee Sang has been a topic of hot debate between Singapore and Malaysia, as both countries laid claims to the dish

Image via Marufish

Citing "A Toss of Yee Sang" book, Cilisos revealed that the Chinese dish was introduced by a Chinese immigrant who settled down in Seremban in the 1920s.The man, known as Loke Ching Fatt, eventually started a catering business and introduced his own version of 'Lo Hei Yee Sang', which has become a vital part of Malaysians' Chinese New Year since the 1950s.

However, BBC claimed in a recent article that the Yee Sang we know and love today was instead created by four Singaporean chefs

According to the article, "[The] dish was brought to Singapore by Chinese immigrants in the 1930s".Four Singaporean chefs then  created their own recipe of the "salad" in 1964, which has now become the "focal point of every Singaporean Chinese New Year celebration".

The four Singaporean chefs who reportedly created the version of Yu Sheng today.

The chefs were held in such high-esteem that they were then dubbed as the "Four Heavenly Kings".

Naturally, Malaysians were not too pleased by the claims

One netizen said that perhaps the news portal gave credit to our neighbour because Singapore was still a part of Malaysia at that time

"Following the repeal of the emergency ordinances in Dewan Negara on 8 December, the maximum compound value that can be imposed on individuals and organisations is RM1,000," said Khairy."We will continue to monitor and will not hesitate to take further action if organisers still fail to ensure SOP compliance," he also assured.

Meanwhile, the police and Road Transport Department (JPJ) counters to pay discounted summons at the event will be closed immediately

Khairy said the crowded situation, lack of physical distancing, and no control of the number of visitors only increases the risk of spreading COVID-19.He added that the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will provide further information on how the public may pay their summons and enjoy the discounted offers soon.

JPJ and PDRM offered discounted traffic summons up to 80% in conjunction with the event from 9 December to 12 December in KLCC:

Till Death Do Us Part: Singaporean Couple Choose Burial Vault As Their Wedding Venue

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

Most couples would opt to get married at a picturesque beach or at a fancy wedding hall, but not for 34-year-old Huang Yuanjie and his bride, 26-year-old Zhuo Xingjuan

The newlyweds have made a columbarium their choice of venue to tie the knot. According to Shin Min Daily News, on Saturday, 23 July, Huang and Zhuo became husband and wife at the Nirvana Memorial centre, located at Choa Chu Kang, Singapore.With Huang dressed in a traditional Tang wedding suit and Zhou in a Qun Kwa, they posed for their wedding photos in front of the columbarium niches, hand in hand.

While it was definitely an unconventional venue for a wedding, Huang said that the columbarium held a lot of meaning and significance for their union

You see, it was where they first met. Huang said that he came to the memorial centre for a visit whilst Zhou was there for prayers. "It was fate," he said. Since then, Huang and Zhou began to date for several years before they registered their marriage two years ago.

Since then, it had been the couple's wish to take their wedding photos at the Nirvana Memorial center

Whilst they were all for getting hitched at the place that held so much importance to the couple, they were met with some pushback from older relatives who believed that such an auspicious event like a wedding shouldn't be held at a place where the dead are commemorated. Huang mentioned that his older relatives couldn't understand "young people's" thoughts.Happily enough, though, the couple's parents supported their decision. "My parents are more open-minded. They feel that it's okay as long as we're happy. Even my in-laws are very supportive," said Huang.Huang also mentioned that by doing the ceremony at the columbarium, they were killing two birds with one stone. Both of them would get the opportunity to pay their respects to their late relatives and 'inform' them of their marriage.

Attending or visiting inauspicious events and places before weddings is considered taboo in Chinese culture

There are no objective rules forbidding couples from marrying in places at funeral homes or where the remains of the dead are kept, the Chinese believe that these places commonly carry a lot of negative energy.Some devotees believe that this bad energy could rub off on the couple and spell bad luck in their marriage's future.Which is why couples who are about to be married should stay away from places like these. However, more and more younger couples are actually more open to getting married in unconventional places despite what the taboos suggest.According to AsiaOne, the person in charge of the columbarium actually mentioned that this year alone, Nirvana Memorial centre has received visits from two other couples on their wedding days."In the past, some used to think that it was taboo to do so, but newlyweds showing up at the venue in their traditional costumes shows that the mindset of the younger generation has changed," they mentioned.

Many netizens were surprised at the couple's choice of venue but remained supportive of the happy couple and wished them a happy and lasting marriage

However, there were some netizens that still thought having a wedding ceremony in the columbarium was taboo and that doing this disrespected the place where the dead should be honoured. "The so-called taboo is the wisdom of the ancestors that's meant for us to learn from and avoid disasters in life. Doing the opposite (of the taboo) will ultimately end in divorce," said one user."It can only be said that the young people today don't know how to avoid (going against the taboo). Although it is already 2022, it is still a place for the ancestors. It is better to respect it and (people) shouldn't take it too far to be different," another user wrote.

Malaysians Used This Site To Check If Their Data Was Breached, But It's Actually Fake

In the past few weeks, there have been a lot buzz surrounding one of the largest data breaches in Malaysia

The issue was first reported by Lowyat.net, which revealed that 46.2 million mobile phone numbers from telcos and mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) in Malaysia are at stake as they are believed to have been compromised and leaked online. According to the report, someone was trying to sell a huge database of personal information collected from 2014.Following the exposé, a data breach checking site, sayakenahack.com, was created by tech blogger Keith Rozario to allow the public to check if their data was part of the breach. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has subsequently blocked access to the website sayakenahack.com, citing data privacy concerns, although the Bar Council cyber law and information technology committee disagreed with the move.

Image via SAYS

Meanwhile, a new viral site siapakenahack.com became a hit as it also allegedly let the public check if their personal data had been stolen

Image via SAYS

The site is purportedly created by the 'Ministry of Malaysia National Cyber Communication Council (MNCCC)' and made possible for anyone to check if they were affected by the breach. According to the site, people just need to input their mobile phone numbers on the site to proceed with the verification.

However, it turns out that the site is actually fake

Image via SAYS

Once a person enters his or her data on the site, the individual will be directed to click on a link. They will then be taken to a new page, in which it was revealed that the user has been duped. It was learned that the site was created by a person named C.F Fong, the founder of security services company LGMS."The reason I am creating this website to let you know that: Do not simply trust any website, even if the website looks legit and seems to offer something 'nice' or 'useful'. The whole point of this website is to let people get conned once, then they will be more alert next time," Fong said on the site.

According to Fong, hundreds of Malaysians have fallen for this fake site

The Star reported Fong as saying that about 500 people have input their phone numbers into the website since yesterday morning, 19 November. He reminded the public to be vigilant so that they will not fall victim to cybercrimes, and even offered a few tips on how to determine if a website is fake. "If you are more technical and IT savvy, you could actually check the origin of the website, the owner, the place the website is hosted and also by Google-searching the website," he was quoted as saying.

Exercise caution and be vigilant on the Internet, everyone!

PLUS Malaysia had clarified that cycling on highways was illegal under the Road Transport Act, adding that bicycles, tractors and trishaws were prohibited on highways maintained by the concessionaire.

        thestar.com.my

In 2012, PLUS issued an advisory asking cyclists to avoid using its highways as it might be dangerous for them due to the differences in speed of bicycles and other vehicles.

        thestar.com.my

Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF) Deputy President Datuk Naim Mohamad Says Motorists Have Little Respect For Cyclists As The Cycling Culture Here Is Still New

Naim, who believed Yap would have followed the guidelines for road cycling, raised the issue of driving attitude. “Unlike in Europe, the US or Australia, the cycling culture is not widely accepted here yet. “There, road users have a sense of respect for the cyclists,” said Naim.

        themalaymailonline.com

“We will have to put in more effort to educate and instill awareness in them (drivers). “There are cycling lanes, and safe zones for cycling, but the cycling culture in Malaysia is still in the initial stages. “That is why we always remind the cycling teams to train only in the presence of a car escort or with a coach following on his motorbike,” he said.
