"Just Throw A Stone In The Street And You'll Hit A Datuk"

Malaysia Has One Of The World's Highest Rates Of Royal Title-Holders

Malaysia has one of the world's highest rates of royal title-holders – estimates run into the tens of thousands – thanks to a centuries-old royal patronage system linked to its now-ceremonial Malay sultans.

"Just Throw A Stone In The Street And You'll Hit A Datuk."

"Just throw a stone in the street and you'll hit a Datuk," complains Datuk K. Basil, a policeman-turned-politician and one of many who feel the awarding of the coveted titles has got out of hand in a status-obsessed Malaysian society.

The Title Of "Datuk" Is Akin To A British Knighthood But Far More Common

Malay sultans ceremonially rule nine states – alternating as Malaysia's figurehead king every five years – and can bestow a range of titles on honoured citizens. The most common, Datuk, is akin to a British knighthood but far more common.

Titles Purportedly Help Protect Bearers From Prosecution And Gain Access To Policy-Makers

Malay cultural expert Eddin Khoo said titles are widely abused for their clout and connections in a country where corruption is widespread. The perks begin with an official crest for a Datuk's car, "to show money is rolling by," said Khoo.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

As far back as 2004, former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad — now retired, and a Tun — warned of a title glut. “If you produce a million Ferrari cars, nobody will care about buying a Ferrari,” he said.

Some Malaysian royalty have complained more recently of ill-behaved Datuks and of agents who allegedly claim to broker investitures.

In one case, businessman Datuk Koay Khay Chye pleaded guilty in 2010 to drug possession. The case created an uproar when it was reported he had retained his title despite earlier convictions for theft, firearms offences and corruption.

“It is an open secret that Datukships are for sale by cheats and those who claim to have the ear of the royalty, and there are individuals who abuse their titles,” said opposition parliamentarian Thomas Su.

Media Reports Suggest Self-Styled Royal Noor Jan Shah Raja Tuah Shah Has Sold Hundreds Of Dubious Investitures

Noor Jan entered a recent function in Malaysia's government headquarters of Putrajaya, resplendent in a royal-yellow military-style suit studded with medals and epaulets, trailed by an entourage of his "Datuks" to the beat of traditional Malay musicians. He admits taking cash "donations" from recipients, but denies selling titles.

"We could easily take hundreds of thousands of ringgit. But you see, we are still driving an old car," he said, referring to his vintage Porsche sportscar.

"It Has Been Going On For The Last 10 Years, This Problem Of Datuks Being Given Out (By Self-Proclaimed Royals)"

Danny Ooi, president of the Council of Federal Datuks, said people like Noor Jan must be stopped, "It has been going on for the last 10 years, this problem of Datuks being given out (by self-proclaimed royals)."

But Ooi admits money often changes hands even for legitimate investitures, though he terms it, “more as a contribution.”

Baby Goat Surprises Villagers In Melaka With Its 6 Legs & 2 Tails

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

Residents of Kampung Relau in Asahan, Melaka, were shocked to discover a baby goat born with an unusual physical condition — it has two backs and six legs

Its 52-year-old owner, Raihan Ismail, said his family was shocked to see the kid's physical appearance when it was born last Tuesday, 20 December, as it also has two tails, reported Kosmo.Raihan said that this is the first time in 15 years he has seen something like this throughout his experience as a goat breeder.The kid has since become the main attraction for Kampung Relau residents.

Image via Kosmo

The kid was born with two normal legs in the front but has four hind legs

Speaking to Kosmo, the owner further explained, "I noticed his peculiarity when I wanted to move him from the cage.""His 10-year-old mother has given birth many times, but this is the first time her child has six legs, two backs, and tails," Raihan said yesterday, 27 December."Before this, he could stand up just like any other animal, but ever since this morning, his legs seem weak, so I have to help him every time he wants to breastfeed with his mother.""Some of my friends also helped me buy formula milk, and we feed the kid using bottles, and so far, the response has been good."

Raihan and the other villagers believe the animal's physical peculiarity shows the greatness of Allah

He is also willing to sell the kid if anyone is interested in buying it. They would need to buy the mother as well since the kid is still young.


'Datin' Rozita Who Abused Her Maid Has Finally Been Sent To Jail To Serve 8-Year Sentence

On Thursday, 24 September, Rozita Mohamad Ali was finally sent to jail to serve the eight-year sentence that she failed to set aside in the Court of Appeal for abusing her Indonesian maid four years ago

In 2018, the High Court had sentenced Rozita, popularly known as 'Datin' Rozita, who pleaded guilty to abusing her Indonesian maid under Section 326, to eight years in jail, after setting aside a lower court's non-custodial sentence which had placed the housewife on a "good behaviour" bond.However, Rozita was soon released on bail.On 30 May 2018, the 46-year-old was granted a stay of execution by the Court of Appeal pending a review of the eight-year jail sentence for causing grievous hurt to her maid, Suyanti Sutrinso.Since then, the 'Datin' failed to turn up multiple times in court for the appeal hearing of her case. When she did the same for the fourth time in July this year, Court of Appeal judge Datuk Seri Kamaludin Md Said issued a warning, saying her case will proceed on the next hearing date with or without Rozita.Judge Kamaludin then fixed 24 September for the hearing and yesterday, a three-man bench led by him unanimously upheld the Shah Alam High Court's eight-year sentence against Rozita.According to Judge Kamaludin, her appeal has no merit as the High Court has jurisdiction to review the sentence of a good behaviour bond that was initially imposed on her by the Sessions Court.The 'Datin' has now begun serving her jail time in the Kajang women's prison.

The Court Of Appeal also noted that Rozita's sentence was according to the trend at that time and that there have been similar cases that have, in fact, been given higher sentences by the High Court

"The sentence handed down by the High Court was the current sentencing trend for such offences at that time. In fact, in other cases under Section 326 of the Penal Code (voluntarily causing grievous hurt), higher sentences were meted out by the court," Judge Kamaludin said, as reported by New Straits Times.The judge, while adding that there are those who were jailed up to 20 years, dismissed the prosecution's appeal for an increase of the eight-year jail sentence against Rozita.

Rozita, who looked calm after the judgement, was escorted by police to the lockup room to be sent to Kajang Prison to serve her time

In March 2018, Rozita pleaded guilty under Section 326 for voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means

And while Section 326 provides for imprisonment of up to 20 years, Petaling Jaya Sessions Court judge Mohammed Mokhzani Mokhtar had allowed Rozita to escape jail time.The judge simply placed her on a "good behaviour bond" of five years, overlooking the prosecution's point for a jail sentence considering the severity of the crime.Rozita had used a kitchen knife, clothes hanger, a steel mop handle, and an umbrella to inflict injuries to Suyanti's head, hands, legs, and internal organs at a house in Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya.Warning: Viewer discretion is advised.

#Darurat2021: What You Need To Know About The National Emergency

In a televised address this morning, 12 January, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced that Malaysia is currently under a national emergency that could potentially last up to eight months

The Yang di-Pertuan Agong's consent for a national emergency comes after Muhyiddin had yesterday, 11 January, reinstated the Movement Control Order (MCO) in five states and three Federal Territories.The reinstatement of the MCO is aimed at curbing the alarming spread of COVID-19, which is crippling the country's healthcare system."Our healthcare system is under tremendous pressure now than at any other time since the start of the pandemic," said the premier, adding, "As I have said before, unprecedented situations call for unprecedented measures.""In light of that, the government has decided to implement the Movement Control Order (MCO) for a period of 14 days, starting at 12.01am on 13 January until 26 January 2021."

Image via SAYS (Facebook)

Why declare an emergency when the government has gone through the trouble to reinstate a MCO?

This story will help you understand Muyhiddin's reasons for seeking consent from Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah to declare an emergency.Also, it will inform you about what an emergency is, why it is not a "military coup", and how it will affect Malaysia's economy and judiciary system.

Here are the 10 things you need to know about the government's latest effort to fight the COVID-19 pandemic:

1. An emergency can only be declared when there is a public threat to the country

Image via The Economic Times

According to Article 150 and Article 40 of the Federal Constitution, it is stipulated that an emergency can only be declared by the Agong if he is convinced — under the premier's advice — that there is a security, economic, or public order threat.Malaysia declared an emergency — or darurat in Bahasa Malaysia — numerous times in the past. For example, in 2013, an emergency was declared in two districts in Johor due to severe haze conditions; in 1977, a statewide emergency was declared due to a political impasse in Kelantan.Or more infamously, in 1969, the nationwide emergency was declared following the 'May 13' race riots.Each emergency had different levels of control over citizens. Muhyiddin assured that the sole purpose of the emergency this time is to contain the spread of COVID-19 and set up measures to protect national health.

2. An emergency gives the Agong power to enact laws without the need to go through the Parliament

Image via Malaysiakini

During an emergency, laws can be passed instantly without the lengthy process of getting bills drafted, bringing them to the Parliament for debates and votes, and receiving the royal assent from the Agong.The laws passed during this period are called Emergency Ordinances (EOs) and they cannot be challenged by the courts, reported Malay Mail.An EO has the same power as any ordinary act and can even overrule the Federal Constitution. However, while an EO might seem like a powerful tool to run the country with an iron fist, it does have limitations when it comes to matters concerning Islamic law or custom of the Malays, native law or customs of Sabah and Sarawak, citizenship, religion, or language, as stipulated under Article 150(6) and Clause (6A) in the Federal Constitution.

3. This is not a 'military coup'

Image via AFP via The Bangkok Post

Muhyiddin said the proclamation of emergency is not an opportunity to seize military power."Let me assure you that the civilian government will continue to function. The emergency proclaimed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is not a military coup and curfew will not be enforced," said the premier.He added that government administration, Cabinet, and state council meetings will continue to function as usual, and that administrative machinery and the civil service at both state and federal levels will not be interfered with.

4. Elections will not be held

Image via CSI Prop

One of the reasons a proclamation of emergency is required now is to postpone the requirement to hold General Elections or any by-elections."Recently, there have been parties trying to push for a General Election," said Muhyiddin."I do not intend not to hold an election. The main thing hindering me from advising the Agong to dissolve Parliament and to call for a snap election is the pandemic."Under normal circumstances, a by-election must be held within 60 days after the seat is vacant. State elections also must be held within 60 days after the State Legislative Assembly is dissolved.But with the emergency in place, it can overrule the requirement as stipulated in the Federal Constitution.The Batu Sapi and Gerik parlimentary seats have been vacant since the passing of Datuk Liew Vui Keong and Datuk Hasbullah Osman on 2 October 2020 and 16 November 2020 respectively.Besides that, the 12th Sarawak State Election, which must be held before June 2021, is also approaching.Although a districtwide emergency has been declared in Batu Sapi and Gerik, a nationwide emergency could prevent any level of election from taking place.

5. Dewan Rakyat will not convene

Image via Bernama via The Straits Times

As mentioned earlier, during an emergency, an EO can overrule most provisions under the Federal Constitution.This includes the requirement that the Dewan Rakyat convene within six months after the last sitting.Without the Parliament sitting, it will render the Opposition powerless as they no longer have the political platform to push for a vote of no-confidence against the Prime Minister or pressure him to step down.This will give the Perikatan Nasional (PN) some stability in governing the country without fearing parties in the coalition will plan a coup against the premier.

6. An EO will be used to borrow help from private hospitals

Image via AP via Free Malaysia Today

With the emergency in place, Muhyiddin said several EOs can be proclaimed by the Agong to use private hospital assets temporarily for the purpose of curbing the COVID-19 pandemic.Other than hospitals, EOs can also be used to temporarily possess land, buildings, or movable property of a private hospital to treat COVID-19 patients."Accordingly, the government can also get more exclusively involved in the private sector, including private healthcare facilities, to help ease the burden borne by the government, especially public hospitals," he said."Through this ordinance, assistance that can be obtained from the private sector include human resources, expertise, facilities, assets, testing laboratories, and utilities."In addition, Muhyiddin said the EO shall also be used to facilitate healthcare management and overcome any rules that might complicate the delivery of public health services.

7. An EO to empower the soldiers

Image via Bernama via Astro Awani

"An ordinance may also be proclaimed to provide enforcement power to the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) — on top of its existing power — to match with the powers held by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) under the Criminal Procedure Code or any other relevant law enforcement," Muhyiddin said.ATM will also be empowered to help perform health-related functions and the functions performed by other civil servants combating the pandemic. "In accordance with the proclamation of emergency, national border control will also be tightened by empowering military personnel — working along with police and immigration officers — to have the authority to arrest illegal immigrants and anyone who enters the country through the borders," he added.

8. An EO to stiffen punishments on people who violate MCO rules

Muhyiddin said an EO may also be proclaimed to amend the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988.He said the purpose of it is to increase the effectiveness of the enforcement of this Act and to set as a deterrent."This includes increasing penalties or punishments for anyone who violates the law and regulations related to COVID-19 pandemic control," he said.

9. An EO to control prices of goods

Besides, the premier also said that an EO may also be proclaimed to protect against economic sabotage, monopoly, and excessive price increase of goods.Any business owners who profiteer during this period will face stricter enforcement and heavier penalties.

10. Muhyiddin promises not to tamper with the judiciary system and reassures foreign investors' confidence

Image via Focus Malaysia

He said his administration will uphold the independence held by the judiciary system and will never interfere in court matters.National regulatory bodies, such as Bank Negara Malaysia, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC), as well as Bursa Malaysia, will continue to play their role as catalysts, regulators, and facilitators for companies and the market."To all the stakeholders keenly monitoring what is happening in Malaysia, I emphasise that Malaysia is open for business," said the premier in English."In facing these challenging times, this period of emergency will give us much needed calm and stability, as well as enable us to focus on economic recovery and regeneration.""We remain committed to good governance in these times and we have a robust and dynamic regulatory ecosystem. We must remember that the government has a six-stage strategy in place for economic recovery since March last year and were incorporated in Budget 2021.""Continued stability will enable us to sustain and build upon the economic recovery trajectory we have been working hard for since last year."

Kedah School Uses Facial Recognition System To Make Sure Students Don't 'Ponteng' Class

A school in Kedah has left no chances for students to skip class by implementing a facial recognition system to mark attendance

SMK Tunku Abdul Aziz in Simpang Empat, Alor Setar is the first school in Kedah to have implemented the system on 27 August.

Image via Noorazura Abdul Rahman/Harian Metro

The school has five devices in total: four thumbprint scanners and one facial recognition device

The school's principal Nur'asikin Othman told Harian Metro that the device was launched as an alternative to the thumbprint scanners."There were some students and teachers who were facing problems where the machine could not read their fingerprints," she said."So this facial scanner is more effective because users just have to stand in front of the machine to scan the face."

Image via Utusan

According to her, the devices have reduced the number of students skipping class because teachers are able to report into the system if they notice children missing before the end of the day

"The report will also be received by me and the teachers sooner and later," she added.The system is also connected to 'Pepatih MySekolah' - an application that records students' attendance and disciplinary issues.

[FACT OR FAKE #14] This Meteor Shower Video in Bukit Tinggi

FAKE: Meteor Shower video in Bukit Tinggi Malaysia

This is the original source of the above fake video

Some interesting facts about Perseids and what they are!

The Perseid meteor shower has been observed for about 2,000 years, with the earliest information on this meteor shower coming from the Far East. Some Catholics refer to the Perseids as the "tears of St. Lawrence", since 10 August is the date of that saint's martyrdom.

        wikipedia.org

The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The name derives in part from the word Perseides, a term found in Greek mythology referring to the sons of Perseus.

        wikipedia.org

Swift-Tuttle's orbit has been traced back nearly 2,000 years and is now thought to be the same comet that was observed in 188 AD and possibly even as early as 69 BC.

        space.com

The stream of debris is called the Perseid cloud and stretches along the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle. The cloud consists of particles ejected by the comet as it travels on its 133-year orbit.

        nationalgeographic.co.in

When a Perseid particle enters the atmosphere, it compresses the air in front of it, which heats up. The meteor, in turn, can be heated to more than 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.. The intense heat vaporizes most meteors, creating what we call shooting stars.

        space.com

The shower is visible from mid-July each year, with the peak in activity being between 9 and 14 August, depending on the particular location of the stream. During the peak, the rate of meteors reaches 60 or more per hour.

        nationalgeographic.co.in

Why is it called Perseid?

The Persieds - which get their name from the constellation Perseus, where the shower appears to originate -- produce more fireballs than any other annual meteor shower, according to NASA.

Here's how to shoot the Perseid meteor shower

Keep your camera steady. Use a heavy tripod with a locking ball head to keep the camera as still as possible during the exposure.

To get a circular effect in the stars, look for the 'B' on your shutter control dial. Using a high ISO can work as well for shorter exposures.

Jagalchi Fish Market is the largest in South Korea, and if you’ve never been to an Asian fish market, it’s a must see. Stall after stall line the inside of the market selling an amazing variety of seafood. Many of the offerings are familiar to the average westerner, but some will certainly amaze.

Beomeosa Temple is a magnificent Buddhist temple located at the edge of Mt. Geumjeongsan, a famous mountain in Busan. Despite its city location, Beomeosa Temple is a world away from the urban jungle, with beautiful architecture neatly set against an extraordinary mountain setting. It's a busy place as the temple serves as the northern starting point for trails across Geumjeongsan (Mt. Geumjeong).

Yeongdodaegyo Bridge connects Jung-gu and Yeongdo-gu districts in Busan. Constructed in November 1934, it is the first island-land connecting bridge and the only single-leaf bascule bridge in Korea. The bridge lifts up on one side to make way for large vessels.

This is the first suspension bridge in Busan, whose function as a bascule bridge has finally resumed after 47 years. This bridge is raised once every day at noon (12:00 to 12:15).

When in Jeju, you MUST do it justice by having Galchi Jorim - a braised hairtail fish dish, popular in the island

Image via Eat Your Kimchi/YouTube

For those who do not know what a hairtail is, it is a type of fish which is long and slim (similar to eels but not slimy).  Because this kind of fish dies very quickly once they are caught, it is very difficult to preserve its freshness. This is the very reason why Jeju serves delicious hairtail stews, they have fresh supplies of hairtails! Jeju's spicy hairtail stew is a very popular dish even among the local Koreans.

[FACT OR FAKE #25] Charging Your Phone Overnight Is Bad For Your Battery... Right?

Some people say leaving your phone charging overnight has a negative effect on your battery's lifespan in the longterm. Is that fact or fake?

At LockerGnome.net, Robert says, "I’ve had my Nexus 4 since late December; it’s a great phone! The thing is that, every night before I go to bed, I read social feeds to drain the battery and then I plug it in for a charge for the whole night. The question is: is it a problem if I leave my smartphone on a charge all night? Won’t the battery suffer from this?"

        lockergnome.com

Basil Carolus from the Android Central App Forum: "Not a good idea chap. You're gonna kill your battery then your phone's going to be as good as dead hahaha."

        androidcentral.com

So much charging to do, so little time.
Image via betterphoto.com

The fact is, if the battery is Lithium-ion (that's what most of our smartphones are running on) it doesn't matter if we leave it charging overnight, because:

Image via digitaltrends.com

Lithium-ion batteries are charged "intelligently" by your gadget, so they are never overcharged. Charging the device at night will not influence battery life. Lithium-ion batteries also lack the memory effect that is associated with older nickel-cadmium batteries, so recharging the battery before it is exhausted will not reduce its life.

        quora.com

Also, phones do have an automatic shutoff mechanism built in to prevent overcharging that might cause a potential fire hazard. If this is your concern, then rest at ease that the right charging hardware coupled with the right non-shady smartphone shouldn't be a hazard to your person or property.

        lockergnome.com

Nokia Li-ion battery for powering a mobile phone
Image via wikimedia.org

However, lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous under some conditions and can pose a safety hazard since they contain, unlike other rechargeable batteries, a flammable electrolyte and are also kept pressurized. This makes the standards of these batteries high, and it consists of many safety features.

        wikipedia.org

What about wasting all that electricity?

y. Yes, charging your gadgets for longer than necessary wastes some energy. Will better habits significantly reduce the footprint of your techno-lust? Not likely.
Image via telegraph.co.uk

As far as environmental sins go, you can file this one in the pardonable category. Yes, charging your gadgets for longer than necessary wastes some energy. Will better habits significantly reduce the footprint of your techno-lust? Not likely.

        slate.com

What happens if you leave yours plugged in all night? According to measurements from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the average cell phone draws 3.68 watts of power from the outlet while it's charging and 2.24 watts when charged.

        droidforums.net

Let's take the worst-case scenario and assume that you're over-juicing a charged battery for the entire night. Leave the average phone plugged in for eight unnecessary hours, and it'll use about 0.018 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Do that every night for a week, and the figure rises to 0.13 kWh; every night for a year, and you're looking at a grand total of 6.5 kWh of electricity.

        slate.com

How powerful exactly is 6.5 kWh of electricity? To give you a gauge, it takes about 2 kWh of electricity to boil water in a kettle.

        ask.com

Still, there are some compelling reasons to unplug your smartphone once it reaches 100% capacity. And the reasons are:

Image via pixstatic.com

As your phone runs throughout the night, it loses battery life. This causes the charging mechanism to kick in over and over again as measurable amounts of battery drain occurs during standby. Your phone checking email, receiving text messages, and various apps doing their updates can do a lot to your phone’s battery while you sleep.

        lockergnome.com

Your battery may have a limited amount of charging cycles available to it throughout its life. Let’s say there are 1,000 cycles in your particular battery. If you charge 30+ microcharges (a fraction of a full charge) each night while you sleep, then you’re really eating away at your phone’s battery life.

        apartmenttherapy.com

If, however, you only charge your phone when it needs it and make sure to unplug it after it hits 99-100%, then you’re only taking away one partial or full charge cycle each time you plug it in.

        jailbreakmodo.com

This doesn’t mean that your phone’s battery will degrade and die in one night, either. Like laptops, you can leave your phone plugged in almost all the time and it’s likely your battery will still last quite a while, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t at some level chipping away at its capacity or longevity by doing so.

        lockergnome.com

Buying a cheap, knock-off charger can also have an adverse effect. Often, cheap chargers won’t respond so well to the shutoff mechanism in the phone. The energy may also come through in sporadic bursts, which isn’t good for your battery’s life, either.

Here's How Physiotherapy Helps Children With Autism & The Signs They Need It

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

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a person's ability to communicate and interact with others

People with ASD often have restricted interests or repetitive behaviours, and may have different ways of learning or paying attention.All these characteristics can make life very challenging for people with autism, especially when they are still young.

Children with autism also often experience a delay in the ability to control their body movements, known as motor skills

This is where physiotherapy and early intervention come into play. If diagnosed early, various interventions can help a child with autism achieve their full potential, and are best started as soon as possible in the first few years of life.Paediatric physiotherapist Valerie Yentl Tan from child development centre, The Energy Source, said, typically, children with ASD may accomplish developmental milestones within anticipated timelines, such as sitting, crawling, and walking independently.However, the quality of their movements may be immature or non-stereotypical compared to their peers.

"These early milestones are essential to get right, as they are the building blocks for children to take control of more refined and complex movements as they grow."Without early intervention, a child with ASD may struggle to master higher level motor skills such as skipping or riding a bicycle," she said.

Image via Provided to SAYS

Physiotherapy is important for children with ASD as it focuses on improving their ability to move their body, and ultimately, their overall health

A physiotherapist's job is to assess the child's overall motor function and create an intervention programme with customised activities to help address their difficulties or improve their skills.Overall, physiotherapy is important to promote healthy motor development as well as improve mobility and muscle control through play-based exercises and activities.A child with autism may benefit from physiotherapy if they show any of these signs:– A delay in achieving gross motor milestones– A delay in achieving balance while walking– Experiences challenges with hand-eye and leg-eye coordination, such as when throwing, catching, or kicking a ball– Has difficulty jumping, hopping, skipping, swinging, hanging, or climbing– Has motor planning difficulties – is clumsy and often trips or falls– Has low muscle tone, poor core strength, or poor posture– Has tight muscles and joints– Does not outgrow toe-walking

In an incident that happened at the level four car park lift lobby of Alexandra Central Mall, Singapore, a heavy glass door dislodged and fell on top of a woman waiting for the lift to arrive at the lobby

The freak incident, which took place last Sunday, 24 February, was caught on a closed circuit video. A CCTV footage of the incident has since gone viral.

The 47-year-old woman was severely injured. She is currently in a high-dependency ward at Singapore's National University Hospital.

The incident left the woman with fractures to her head, pelvis and legs, and damage to her liver. Her injuries require regular dosages of morphine to help alleviate her pain.According to a report in Shin Min Daily News, the woman's sister claims that she will have to undergo surgery to help support and stabilize the spine. The sister also revealed that the victim would "cry out in agony" every time the painkiller wears off."Every time the morphine wears off, my sister would cry out in agony. She told me she doesn't know what pain is anymore," the sister said.

Following the incident, the Alexandra Central Mall has decided to take down all the glass doors for inspection and replace them

According to the Straits Times, a spokesperson for the mall said they are looking into the matter and the mall's management has contacted the Building and Construction Authority. The mall is also working with the contractor that installed the doors.

"I Am Really Sorry Sir!" - Reaksi Pemilik Kereta Yang Dilanggar Ini Memang Tidak Disangka

Banyak prosedur yang perlu dilakukan sekiranya anda terlibat dalam kemalangan, tidak kira minor atau major. Antaranya perlu ke balai polis untuk membuat laporan, selesaikan ganti rugi dan sebagainya.

Gambar sekadar hiasan.

Namun kali ini, kisah seorang lelaki iaitu Mizan Dzai, pemilik kereta jenis Toyota Vellfire dan juga Uncle Angadorai, seorang pakcik yang juga seorang pemandu Teksi membuatkan masyarakat membuka mata dan hati supaya menjadi seorang yang lebih pemaaf dan mulia.Perkongsian ini juga telah mula tular di laman Twitter dengan meraih sebanyak 19k retweets ketika artikel ini ditulis.Baca penuh di bawah:

"Im so sorry, I am really sorry Sir!"
Pemandu teksi tersebut sambil berlari-lari meminta maaf selepas terlanggar kereta lelaki itu.

Uncle ni keluar dari kereta dan berlari anak sambil tangan sebelah menutup kepala yang akan demam kalau lama-lama menadah hujan. Aku perasan uncle ni berlari anak sambil kaki berdengkot. Dengan gentle, dia berkata... "Im so sorry, i am really sorry Sir!" pic.twitter.com/WJViSinkoF— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Kasihan, insan yang semakin dimamah usia terpaksa meminta maaf pada orang yang berpuluh tahun muda dari dia. Dengan muka yang kelihatan runsing, letak tangan di dahi, fikirkan keadaan teksinya iaitu mata pencarian yang dah remuk akibat kemalangan. pic.twitter.com/DcMNutaFOl— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Tersentap jugalah bila seorang insan yang umur berpuluh tahun tua dari kita terpaksa meminta maaf seperti ini.

Pemilik Toyota Vellfire ini juga mengatakan bahawa dia langsung tidak berasa marah walaupun selepas keretanya dilanggar. Jawapannya juga buatkan ramai tersentap...

Aku memang tak marah langsung. Tak tahu kenapa, sikit pun tak. “Mahal ni tuan, minta maaf saya betul tak perasan”.“Tak apa, i claim saja nanti, i pun bukannya orang kaya mau keluar wang sendiri. You okay uncle?”"Ok, cuma ada terkejut sikit la tangan a bit shaking” katanya. pic.twitter.com/OxtlVu4v7C— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Rasa kasihan dan lembut hati lihat uncle ni, teringat bapak aku di rumah. Bayangkan, macam mana kalau bapak aku sendiri dalam situasi macam ni? “Really sorry sir”. "It’s ok Uncle. Siapa yang mau excident? Benda sudah jadi, kecik punya hal”.— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Mulianya hati lelaki ini. Dia terus membayangkan jika situasi ini perlu dihadapi oleh ayahnya sendiri. Pasti sukar untuk diselesaikan jika pihak kedua memberikan layanan yang teruk atau meminta ganti rugi yang tinggi.

"Uncle jangan susah hati ya, semuanya boleh selesai.."
Pakcik ini juga mengatakan bahawa teksi yang dibawa adalah untuk menampung kehidupan sendiri selepas kematian isteri tercinta.

“I punya kereta ni pun kereta kerja saja uncle, kereta lama”. “Kereta ada insurans, kita pergi buat report dan semua boleh selesai. Uncle jangan susah hati ya?” Sayu aku lihat muka uncle ni yang basah dek hujan.— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Uncle Angadorai, seorang pemandu teksi berusia 62 tahun yang telah kematian isteri tercinta. Anak-anak pula dah kahwin, dah lepas dah katanya.“Saya bawa teksi ni pun untuk tampung kehidupan sendiri tuan” sambung Uncle Anga.— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

"Saya mahu tunggu isteri saya sampai mata saya tutup nanti..."

“Alhamdulillah uncle, kita ni kalau anak-anak semua serba cukup kita sudah rasa besar nikmat dan bersyukur dah” kataku padanya.Sepanjang lebih kurang 1 jam kami di balai, sempat juga aku bergurau dengan dia.“Kalau uncle mau, saya banyak minnaci boleh kasi rekomen” gurau aku.— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

“Saya tak mau, saya mau tunggu isteri saya sampai mata saya tutup nanti” balas uncle Anga tersenyum tapi cukup tegas.Banyak perkara yang aku borak dengan uncle ni, berkisar tentang perkahwinan dan kehidupan.— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Bagaimana dia boleh setia bersama cinta sejati mendiang isteri walaupun tiada lagi jasad setelah berpuluh tahun hidup berpasangan.Selama ini kita dihidangkan dengan cerita pemandu teksi yang kurang ajar.Tapi tak semua, malah aku pun baru terbuka mata.— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Setelah berborak panjang, lelaki ini juga mengatakan bahawa dia tidak akan meminta ganti rugi walau satu sen daripada pemandu teksi tersebut

“Kenapa you tak join Grab uncle”?“Susah tuan, saya sudah tua kereta pun sudah lama”. “Banyak prosedur dan peraturan yang saya tak boleh lepas, belum campur lagi saya punya kesihatan yang tak menentu ni” balasnya.— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Uncle ni berbangsa India, iaitu bangsa yang sekarang ini tengah heboh dan tegang dengan perselisihan kaum bersama Melayu, yakni bangsa aku sendiri.Aku redhakan semua hatta ganti rugi sesen pun tak terlintas dalam kepala ni untuk aku minta.— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Hal ini dipermudahkan lagi dengan kewujudan Sarjan yang mengendalikan kes tersebut dengan penuh berbudi bahasa sekali gus memudahkan urusan mereka berdua

Baik aku, baik uncle Anga, kami tak kena saman oleh IO yang handle kes kecil ni. Bilamana urusan orang lain kita permudahkan walau apa salah dia lakukan dengan ikhlas dan redha, walau siapa pun dia tak kenal warna kulit dan agama, pasti Allah permudahkan urusan kita— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Alhamdulillah terima kasih pada Sarjan yang bertugas, berbudi bahasa, baik orangnya dan mempermudahkan urusan aku serta uncle.Semoga kita semua sentiasa positif dan kuat untuk segala keburukan dan kelemahan yang datang. Berbuat baik kepada orang lain, tak kira bangsa dan agama— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

"Bangsa Melayu kita adalah bangsa yang beradab, bertamadun dan berpegang teguh kepada kebaikan..."

Kita yang tentukan samada nak sejukkan keadaan atau panaskan lagi sesuatu keadaan tu. Semoga kita sentiasa positif dan kuat untuk segala ujian, keburukan dan kelemahan.Bangsa Melayu kita adalah bangsa yang beradap, bertamadun dan berpegang teguh kepada kebaikkan.— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Dan semua kenalan aku yang berbangsa India ataupun Cina, semuanya baik-baik tutur kata dan tindakkannya. Alhamdulillah.— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Lelaki ini turut juga mengambil peluang untuk membantu pemandu teksi berkenaan dengan meletakkan details supaya senang dihubungi oleh orang ramai yang memerlukan pemandu teksi

Kalau sesiapa yang ada sekitar Senawang, Seremban atau yang berdekatan memerlukan teksi dan pemandu yang baik serta jujur, boleh hubungi Uncle Angadorai di talian :012-6054024. Semoga Tuhan Merahmati Kita Semua. pic.twitter.com/YrQWrmHMxt— Mizan Dzai (@mizandzai) November 29, 2018

Bukan itu sahaja, kisah mereka berdua ini telah mendapat perhatian daripada pihak Astro Awani untuk menjemput mereka ke sebuah talk show

Saudara Mizan, kami ingin menjemput saudara dan Uncle Angadorai ke talkshow [email protected] pada Sabtu ini di Astro AWANI. https://t.co/H2HVBlBs9Z— Astro AWANI (@501Awani) November 29, 2018

The Leaked Whatsapp Message That Threw PAS Into Hot Soup

A Leaked Whatsapp Conversation Between PAS Central Committee Leaders Has Courted Controversy

A leaked screenshot of a conversation on the instant messaging application WhatsApp has inadvertently revealed that PAS central committee leaders have been actively discussing possible scenarios of leaving Pakatan Rakyat.

        malaysiakini.com

Image via themalaysianinsider.com

The screenshot of the conversation started making rounds in the social media earlier this morning (28 July 2014).

        malaysiakini.com

In The Message, PAS Leaders Discussed Possible Scenarios Of Leaving Pakatan Rakyat, Including Joining Forces With Umno And Playing On Racial Politics

PAS Leaders Were Seen Discussing Possible Scenarios Of Leaving Pakatan Rakyat, Including Joining Forces With Umno
Image via antarapos.com

Zuhdi had come under fire for the WhatsApp messages, in which he said that if PAS should leave Pakatan, the party could still retain Selangor with Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim remaining as menteri besar, if it joined forces with Umno to form the state government with a simple majority.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Another highly disturbing feature of the conversation is the blatant tone of racist politics, with Zuhdi commenting that his scenario would return political dominance to the Malays and that they could negate "DAP and non-Muslims". "After this, if DAP and non-Muslims make noise about the Allah issue or raids, we can just swat them away," he said. "At the end of this year just change the borders to return all the Malay-Muslim political power," he wrote, without any apparent disagreement from the group.

        malaysiakini.com

Meanwhile the leaked WhatsApp conversation also appeared to show the friction running deep within PAS itself. When Zuhdi included co-operation with Umno in the possibility list, Kuala Krai MP Hatta Ramli (above) immediately shot it down. "Working together with Umno? I'm out!" he appeared to have replied instantly.

        malaysiakini.com

PAS Research Centre Operations Director Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki Was Slammed For Suggesting The Scenarios, But He Defended His Statements As Mere Scenario Analysis

PAS Research Centre operations director Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki (in grey) is defending his analysis suggesting PAS leave the Pakatan Rakyat coalition and join forces with Umno to govern Selangor, saying it was requested for by other PAS members.
Image via themalaysianinsider.com

Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki today defended his controversial WhatsApp messages, in which he had discussed possible scenarios if the party were to leave Pakatan Rakyat, saying he was asked by others in the group to analyse the situation in Selangor.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“This discussion which was leaked was my response to the members of the WhatsApp who asked me to present a scenario analysis about the proposal by a PAS leader to leave Pakatan Rakyat. “The motion was supported by not less than 10 members in that group and many of them were close to Anwar Ibrahim,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

Zuhdi said he suggested that they do a "scenario analysis" of what would happen if PAS opted out of the PR coalition that formed the Selangor state government, the acceptance of other members and others. "This suggestion was welcomed by all and I was asked to present it. As such, I began making brief analysis, imagining the possible scenarios if PAS left PR. Besides current facts, the imagination of the analyst has to be taken into account. "

        themalaysianinsider.com

Zuhdi said that in the leaked discussion, he had presented a scenario, from the perspective of the state government's position and PAS's freedom in facing DAP and other parties which can be achieved if they left PR.

        themalaysianinsider.com

PAS Has Also Moved To Distance Itself Away From Dr Zuhdi's Message, Saying That It Does Not Reflect PAS' Stand

ts Research Centre executive director, Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, said Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki's opinion in the WhatsAppmessage, which has gone viral, was not backed up by the centre’s findings.

PAS has moved to diffuse tension over a controversial WhatsApp message from a central committee member, saying that the scenario outlined for the party in the message, if it left Pakatan Rakyat, was not its stand. Its Research Centre executive director, Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, said Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki's opinion in the WhatsAppmessage, which has gone viral, was not backed up by the centre’s findings.

        msn.com

"I would like to stress that the scenario described by Dr Zuhdi does not reflect PAS's stand and also does not represent the findings of the PAS Research Centre," he said in a statement today. "In the context of the controversial discussion in the PAS central committee WhatsApp group, I would like to emphasise that this scenario was not the only one raised in his 'planning scenario'.”

        themalaysianinsider.com

"PAS will still stand steadfastly with Pakatan Rakyat, carrying the common policy framework together as has been stressed repeatedly by PAS spiritual adviser Datuk Seri Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat and president (Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang)," Dzulkefly added.

Pakatan Rakyat Wants PAS To Take Disciplinary Action Against Dr Zuhdi As The Proposal Goes Against The Agreement Between PAS And Pakatan Rakyat

Rafizi said the statement by the PAS research centre operations director also went against the policy and agreements made by his party with the other two partners in Pakatan.

PKR wants its Pakatan Rakyat partner, PAS, to take disciplinary action against a member of its central committee for discussing leaving the coalition in a leaked WhatsApp message that has gone viral online.

        themalaysianinsider.com

In expressing his regrets, Rafizi said the statement by the PAS research centre operations director also went against the policy and agreements made by his party with the other two partners in Pakatan.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"What is the disciplinary action to be taken against Zuhdi, who had suggested a treacherous proposal, going against the agreement inked between PAS and Pakatan and the people who had voted for PAS and Pakatan?

“His plans to use the Selangor state power as a result of cooperation with Umno and PAS to change electoral boundaries are biased and sidelines the non-Malays. “This is a betrayal to the struggle for clean and fair elections by citizens, Bersih, Pakatan Rakyat and PAS all this time,” Rafizi said in a statement.

"The words that he had used were not talking about possible scenarios but are reflective of racist and hate sentiments. He had also indirectly stated his approval for Jais's action against other religious practitioners," Rafizi said, referring to the Selangor religious authorities which had seized Malay and Iban-language Bibles earlier this year.

"We are aggrieved over the matter. The first thing is Zuhdi has not denied writing the message but has defended himself by saying that what he had written was a 'scenario analysis' based on a suggestion by a PAS leader for the party to leave the coalition.

"Whether or not PAS remains in PR is up to its leadership, but the proposal to join with Umno and form the Selangor state government is a betrayal not only to PKR and DAP but also to the people of Selangor who gave a clear mandate to PR in the 13th general election," National organising secretary Anthony Loke said in a statement today.

"What has happened to the openness and tolerance in the slogan 'PAS for All'?" Loke asked. He added that he had never imagined a PAS leader could also think like Umno in regaining the political powers of Malays through the redelineation of constituencies. “Doesn’t such a proposal show as if they are in cahoots with the Election Commission and have no difference from Perkasa's agenda?"
