You can never go wrong with a good piece of fried chicken — juicy, crispy, flavourful, and that krup krup sound when you bite the skin! Mmmmm. :D

Be it ordering a box of fried chicken for gatherings or enjoying it alone for some well-deserved me time, the simple yet delicious dish is one of Malaysians' favourite food, and for a good reason.

If you're a huge fan of fried chicken, then you will definitely relate to these:

1. You watch mukbang of people eating fried chicken 'cause the intense crackling sound of the skin is ASMR to your ears

Image via GIPHY

Ahhhhh, yessss! We bet you can hear the krup krup sound ringing in your head right now. ;)

2. You have your own preferences on which part of the chicken is the best, be it the wing, thigh, drumstick, or breast

Image via GIPHY

Some love chicken thighs because they're just full of flavour, while others love chicken breast for the huge chunk of meat, hehe. But no matter which part of the chicken we like, we can all agree we're ayam goreng lovers. ;)

3. You make sure that all the meat on the chicken is eaten. Sometimes, even the bones. >.<

Image via GIPHY

No meat shall go to waste or be left behind, hehe.

4. You start getting excited when you peel the chicken and see steam coming out of it. :9

If it's not hot and has no glorious steam coming out of it, then I don't want it!

5. Fried chicken is your pick-me-up food after having a bad day

Image via GIPHY

Although it can't solve all your problems, the comfort it brings just warms your heart! <3

6. You either eat the skin first or save it for last cause that's the best part!

Image via GIPHY

That crunch is music to your ears and don't get me started on the flavours coated on the batter — chef's kiss!

7. You can't handle spicy food but you make an exception for spicy fried chicken because it's that good!

The burn is definitely worth it!

8. Your love language is fried chicken. Period.

Image via SAYS

If anyone were to send you a box of fried chicken or a bouquet of it instead of flowers, you'll immediately fall in love with that person. But you won't love them more than you love fried chicken. Haha! :D

9. There is never a bad time to eat fried chicken — breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or supper

Image via GIPHY

Going on a road trip? Order fried chicken at the Drive Thru. Having a picnic by the beach? Munch on some fried chicken while enjoying the beautiful sunset.

What do you think makes a good fried chicken? Is it the irresistible smell or the flavours in the meat?

[VIDEO] Telefon Lelaki Ini Diragut Depan Stesen Kereta Api, Tapi Netizen Fokus Orang Lain

Orang ramai perlu lebih peka demi mencegah diri daripada menjadi mangsa ragut

Kes jenayah ragut boleh dielak sekiranya orang ramai bukan sahaja lebih peka dengan keadaan sekeliling bahkan perlu mengambil langkah keselamatan seperti tidak mempamerkan barang kemas atau barangan berharga secara terang-terangan.

Gambar adalah sekadar hiasan.
Image via Astro Awani

Walau bagaimanapun, tidak dapat dinafikan antara kesilapan yang kerap dilakukan mangsa ragut ialah mereka terlalu leka dengan telefon bimbit atau seronok berbual dengan rakan sehingga menjadi sasaran mudah peragut.

Seperti yang berlaku pada seorang lelaki ini yang diragut telefon bimbitnya di hadapan stesen kereta api gara-gara terleka

Menerusi satu rakaman kamera dashboard yang dikongsikan di laman Twitter oleh @myjoe_, seorang pemandu berjaya merakam saat di mana seorang lelaki menjadi mangsa ragut.

Image via ibb.co

Dalam rakaman itu, pemuda itu dilihat sedang menunggu untuk melintas jalan sambil memegang telefonnya. Malangnya apabila dia mengalihkan pandangan dari jalan untuk melihat telefon, sebuah motosikal yang datang dari arah kanan merampas telefon tersebut dari tangannya.

Image via ibb.co

Malahan, cubaan mangsa untuk mengejar peragut tersebut juga tidak kesampaian ekoran jalannya terhalang oleh sebuah motosikal lain. Pemuda itu akhirnya hanya dapat menyaksikan peragutnya beredar dari situ. Difahamkan, kejadian tersebut berlaku di hadapan stesen LRT SS15.

Hati2 guys. Jangan leka main phone. pic.twitter.com/u5FA1LsL8j— #myjoeXikea (@myjoe_) June 14, 2020

Ternyata rakaman itu telah berjaya menarik perhatian para netizen

Pelbagai reaksi telah dikeluarkan para netizen. Meskipun kasihan dengan apa yang berlaku, namun terdapat juga netizen berseloroh susulan daripada reaksi mangsa serta seorang warga asing yang turut berada di tempat kejadian.Antara komen daripada netizen:

According to The Straits Times, the audit firm was responsible for 1MDB units Bandar Malaysia, the sukuk (Islamic bond) issuer, and 1MDB Real Estate for financial years 2015 and 2016.Deloitte was also slapped with a RM2.2 million fine earlier this year for failing to immediately report irregularities in a RM2.4 billion sukuk sale that may have had material effect on 1MDB's ability to repay creditors.

How Dangerous Is It To Clean Our Sewage? Here's What Indah Water Workers Go Through Daily

When it comes to the topic of sewage, there is little that we Malaysians know about it

That's where Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) comes in. IWK is Malaysia's national sewerage company, where they help treat wastewater before it gets discharged into the rivers. This is an extremely important step, as untreated sewage might prove to be hazardous.This begs the question: "How dangerous is it to clean our sewage, and what do the workers at IWK do to treat our wastewater?"

To answer that question, we spoke with Azian binti Ahmad, a Manager in Operations and Maintenance at the IWK Kuala Lumpur Unit

Her team oversees 108 sewage treatment plants (STPs) and network pumping stations in the south of Kuala Lumpur. Azian is also part of the sampling team that is responsible for carrying out sampling at all STPs within Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya. She's also a Registered Electrical Energy Manager under the Energy Commission, responsible for managing the energy usage at the Pantai 2 Regional Sewage Treatment Plant (RSTP), the biggest underground sewage treatment plant in the Asia Pacific.

Firstly, IWK workers have to always be prepared on the job, as they may face all kinds of potential hazards — including venomous reptiles and large snakes

Image for illustration purposes only.
Image via Indah Water Konsortium

The unpredictable working conditions IWK workers have to toil in pose a great danger to them all. From encountering venomous reptiles that lurk in the wastewaters to noxious gases that are emitted from our sewage, the IWK staff have to be alert and aware of their surroundings while cleaning the sewage. "We came across the carcass of a relatively large python once when we wanted to clean the screens. My team members also often encounter snakes that have made the panel room their resting grounds," said Azian.This is also one of the reasons why Azian and her team have to don and suit up in their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Sometimes, certain threats like toxic gases may be less obvious but are equally dangerous

She shared, "There was one incident when we wanted to check the condition of a leaking air pipe. Although it was in a location with less chances for the presence of toxic gases, when a gas test was conducted, readings for one of the toxic gases were very high."

Azian and her staff at work.
Image via Indah Water Konsortium (Provided to SAYS)

The hazardous nature of their jobs makes it imperative for the IWK team to adhere to strict SOPs, all so that they don't injure themselves while carrying out their tasks, in order for us to enjoy clean sewage.

The process of cleaning and treating our sewage is a complicated one on its own

According to Azian, sewage treatment is performed through physical and biological processes. The first stage begins with the physical process, which includes removing sand, gravel, and non-biodegradable pollutants such as plastic and grease. If there are other big items stuck in the sewage, it is also up to the IWK team to clear these out. Fine screening, as well as grit and grease removal, are important parts of the physical process.

Image for illustration purposes only.
Image via Indah Water Konsortium

The secondary stage involves both physical and biological processes. IWK makes use of naturally-occurring organisms to feed on the contaminants in the wastewater, which proliferate and eliminate dead cells to maintain treatment effectiveness. The treated sewage next goes to the clarifier tank, where dead organisms settle, leaving clean water. The purified effluent will then be released into the river.

On the other hand, a thickening and dewatering machine will be used to further treat the dead organisms or sludge that has settled. Once the sludge has reached the right concentration and is dry enough, it can be turned into fertiliser or taken to an approved landfill to be disposed of. What's cool is that some of the microorganisms will be sent back to the aeration tank, so that there are always enough microbes to treat the sewage that comes in.

Fun fact: Did you know that the amount of rubbish collected from our wastewaters are huge?

Image via Indah Water Konsortium (IWK)

According to Azian, approximately 0.5 tonnes of screenings are removed from the Pantai 2 Regional Sewage Treatment Plant daily, wow! That's why IWK's role is very important because if it weren't for these unsung heroes, we wouldn't have a working sewage system.

When asked why IWK carries out such extensive treatment for our effluents, Azian answered that it is to protect public health and provide a cleaner and safer environment for all of us

Sewage that has not been treated properly may end up smelling like rotten eggs, and can threaten aquatic life if released to into rivers. It can also contaminate drinking water supplies, causing diarrhoea, cholera, and hepatitis, among other water-borne ailments.

Image via Discovering Plumbing And Rooter

That's why IWK wants to advise us to practice good habits to prevent any blockage of drains in our homes. Some preventative actions are to avoid flushing rubbish like sanitary pads, condoms, and diapers down the toilet bowl.You should also refrain from disposing of cooking oil in the kitchen sink as this increases the possibility of a sewer obstruction, which could result in sewage backing up into your toilet or overflowing out the manhole. Yikes!

However, if your sewage does ends up overflowing, it's always best to give IWK a call

Contacting IWK from the get-go may prevent things from getting worse, so it's good to keep that tip in mind.Besides that, it's also important to carry out regular desludging to treat your sewage. Without desludging, the septic tank will fill with sludge. It will move to the second chamber in your home's septic tank, causing bad odour and potential water contamination.

To contact Indah Water Konsortium for desludging or sewage treatment services, please head over to their website for more details


Malindo Air To Operate From Subang Starting June

Malindo Air will start servicing from Subang in June

Malaysia's newest low-cost airline Malindo Air will operate from Skypark Terminal in Subang starting June this year to serve passengers in Malaysia and Indonesia.

        malaysiandigest.com

It is understood that Malindo Air is in the final stage of negotiations with the Department of Civil Aviation for approval to fly from the airport.

        malaysiandigest.com

"The idea is to bring people from small cities in Indonesia to Kuala Lumpur, and connect them to international flights via its parent company, Lion Air," one source said.

        btimes.com.my

Malindo's maiden flight on 22 March 2013

“This year we target a medium load factor of between 85-90 percent while offering 12 business class and 168 economy class seats,” said Chief Executive Officer Chandran Rama Murthy.

        abnxcess.com

Malindo Air had starts accepting flight booking after receiving an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) by the end of last month, which allows it to operate commercial air operations in Malaysia.

        1000savings.com

To be initially based at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, it will be the first airline to operate the brand new B737-900ER in Malaysia.

        bernama.com

Kami merancang membuka laluan baru ke Miri, Bintulu dan Sibu, Sarawak dan Sandakan, Sabah bulan depan.

        bharian.com.my

How cheap are Malindo Air's tickets?

Sempena kehadirannya, Malindo Air menawarkan tambang yang termasuk semua bayaran serendah RM38 ke Kuching dan RM68 ke Kota Kinabalu.

        malaysiakini.com

Will Malindo be a threat to Air Asia?

With Malindo Air as a new airline in the country, it will stimulate other airlines to continuously push for better services in order to attract customers.

        wordpress.com

Kenanga Research, which also expects AirAsia’s stock to outperform, considers Malindo Air‘s entry to be the immediate threat for AirAsia while the risk of a higher fuel cost is still high in 2013.

        go-malindoair.com

I think if the drop (from RM3.30 to RM2.95) in Airasia's shares are to be taken as a signal due to the launch of Malindo Air, do take a note of the joint venture.

        intellecpoint.com

With the Lion Group entering the market, fares will almost certainly drop across the board. With Malindo a LCC, AirAsia will in theory be its biggest competitor.

        centreforaviation.com

So in any price war, if it does happen, AirAsia’s fares will be impacted as Malindo has promised to introduce even lower discounted airfares.

        thestar.com.my

Malindo Air aircraft types

    1. Malindo Air will operate with the following aircraft types in Malaysia:
1. Boeing 737-900ER
2. Boeing 737-800
3. Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner

Zahid Thinks Allah Punished Indonesia With Tsunami And Earthquake Because Of LGBTs

Embattled Opposition leader Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi expressed worry over "activities" of Malaysian lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders (LGBTs) today, 23 October, after claiming that the fatal Indonesia quakes were caused by the community

Image via Malaysiakini

Malay Mail reported Zahid as being worried about Malaysia's safety from the earthquakes due to the LGBT activities here."We are worried because we know what happened in Palu recently where there was an earthquake and tsunami. It was reported that there were more than 1,000 members of their community who were involved in such (LGBT) activities," the UMNO president was quoted as saying in the Dewan Rakyat by Malay Mail today.

The Bagan Datuk Member of Parliament (MP) further alleged that the quake-struck Palu, Indonesia was destroyed because it was a punishment from Allah

"The entire area was destroyed. This is the punishment of Allah," Zahid said today, according to Malaysiakini.He also questioned the success of Malaysia's programmes to "rehabilitate" the LGBT community."We need to ensure that Malaysia and those who are against LGBT are spared Allah's punishment," the UMNO president added.

In response to Zahid, Islamic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa said to the Dewan that Muslims should not use natural disasters as examples to prove a point

Image via Malaysiakini

"As Muslims, we are taught that all disasters come from Allah, and it will only happen through His will," Mujahid said, according to Malay Mail.He then quoted tribes, stipulated in the Quran, were wiped out because of "their utterly blatant actions"."They were blatantly open, that is why disaster struck. Here, even though we have LGBT issues, it is still under control and we shouldn't use disasters as examples," the Islamic Affairs Minister added.

In similar news, Zahid was slapped with 45 charges in court last week:

                Here Are The Details Of The 45 Charges Zahid Has Been Slapped With Involving RM114 Million

(Mentang-mentanglah dia pakai kereta jenama Ferrari tapi agak-agaklah macam niat je reverse tu nak langgar) - komen dari netizen
.
Hanya kerana menegur seorang lelaki yang meletakkan kenderaannya di parkir teksi, seorang pengawal keselamatan wanita bukan saja dimaki, malah dia lebam betis kiri akibat dilanggar pemandu terbabit yang mengundurkan keretanya di Hospital Seberang Jaya, Georgetown, semalam.

Dalam kejadian jam 1.30 tengah hari itu, mangsa yang berusia 43 tahun membuat laporan polis selepas tidak berpuas hati dengan tindakan lelaki terbabit.

Selain itu, perbuatan pemandu kereta berkenaan turut dirakam orang awam yang kemudian memuat naik video terbabit sehingga ia tular di Facebook (FB).

Ketua Polis Daerah Seberang Perai Tengah, Asisten Komisioner Nik Ros Azhan Nik Ab Hamid berkata, pemandu Proton Saga berkenaan pada mulanya meletakkan keretanya di parkir yang dikhaskan untuk teksi sebelum perbuatannya itu ditegur pengawal keselamatan wanita terbabit.

Menurutnya, suspek kemudian beredar, namun dia datang semula kira-kira 20 minit kemudian dan sekali meletakkan keretanya di parkir teksi terbabit.

“Pengawal keselamatan itu sekali lagi menegur perbuatan suspek hingga berlaku pertengkaran antara mereka berdua.

“Ketika bertengkar itu, suspek turut mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat kepada pengawal keselamatan berkenaan dan dia kemudian mengundurkan keretanya secara tergesa-gesa sehingga terkena kaki mangsa,” katanya.

Nik Ros Azhan berkata, suspek kemudian terus beredar dan kejadian itu sempat dirakam orang awam hingga video berkenaan tular di media sosial.

“Susulan daripada itu, suspek menyerah diri kira-kira jam 11 malam tadi dan hasil keterangan yang diambil daripadanya, dia mendakwa terpaksa meletakkan kereta di kawasan itu kerana membawa bapanya yang lumpuh untuk mendapatkan rawatan di hospital terbabit.

“Setakat ini, siasatan lanjut masih dijalankan mengikut Seksyen 506 Kanun Keseksaan (KK) dan Seksyen 323 KK,” katanya.Posted by Info Viral on Monday, August 5, 2019

The suspect reversed his car on the spur of the moment, hitting the 43-year-old guard before speeding off. Two other security guards immediately tried to chase after the Proton Saga during which one of them even kicked the car as the motorist kept on driving.A bystander who was at the scene recorded the incident on his mobile.

The security guard suffered a bruised left leg. She has since filed a police report.

According to Seberang Prai Tengah district police chief Assistant Commissioner Nik Ros Azhan Nik Ab Hamid, the female security guard alerted the motorist to move his car after he had parked at a designated parking bay for taxi drivers. Azhan added that 20 minutes later, the suspect returned and parked at the same spot. "The guard once again told him off and an argument ensued between them. The suspect also uttered harsh words to the security guard and he then hurriedly reversed his car and it hit the victim's leg," Azhan was saying as quoted by Malay Mail.

The suspect surrendered himself to the police later the same day

“The suspect has since surrendered himself at about 11pm last night, claiming to have parked the car at the taxi parking area because he was bringing his paralysed father to seek medical treatment at the hospital," said the police chief. He added that police are currently investigating further under Section 506 of the Penal Code and Section 323 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt.

Therefore, when both countries announced the reopening of their land borders for fully vaccinated travellers from 1 April, they made plans to travel back to Kedah

The couple said they wanted to surprise Suha's mother after they were inspired by other Malaysians returning from Singapore on TikTok.Suha initially told her mother that she could not come home for Hari Raya as she and her husband were still settling into their new jobs.So last week, they both went back to Suha's family home and she climbed into a delivery box while Izzul disguised himself as a deliveryman who pretended to drop off the package to her mother.

The video captures the touching moment as Suha's 62-year-old mother opens the box and embraces her daughter for the first time in two years

Suha said her mother cried and the first thing she asked was: "Why did you come in a box? Did you come alone? Where is Izzul?"Happy to be reunited in Kedah, the couple plans to spend three weeks in Malaysia before returning to Singapore to celebrate Hari Raya with Izzul's family.

Doctors Say N95 Masks Are Not Suitable For Kids And May Actually Worsen Breathing Problems

Dr Natalie Epton of SBCC Baby & Child Clinic, Singapore urges parents to not make their children wear the N95 mask

Image via Pembina UPM

Although the N95 masks are recommended for adults dealing with the haze, it is not approved for use among young children.

AsiaOne reported that the specialist paediatrician and neonatologist said that the effectiveness of the mask depends on the right size and fit. For many young children, it is deemed unsuitable.

The N95 masks may worsen breathing problems in children as it forces the lungs to work harder to breathe

Image via Astro Awani

In a report by HoneyKids Asia, Dr Epton said it can cause children to hyperventilate and worsen existing heart or respiratory conditions such as asthma.On the other hand, surgical masks are useless in combating the effects of the haze.She said, "They are designed to protect other people from the wearer's saliva or spit, not to protect the wearer from particulate matter."

Her opinions are further backed up by the Ministry of Education Singapore (MOE), which states that there is currently no international certification standards for the use of masks on children.

Doctors say that the best way to protect your child from the haze is to keep them indoors

Image via The Straits Times

Dr Michael Lim of National University Hospital, Singapore told HoneyKids Asia in an interview that the most sensible approach is to stay indoors.He also suggests keeping windows closed, turning on air conditioning, and using an air purifier.

In Singapore, schools are equipped with air purifiers to ensure students' well-being, in accordance to the country's haze management plans.

S'porean Graduate Flies Home So She Could Take Graduation Photos With Her Sickly Grandpa

Graduations mark a pretty big milestone in life, so it is only natural that the graduate would want all their loved ones to be there.
In this case, a Singaporean lady flew all the way back home just so she could take graduation photos with her sickly grandfather.

The graduate - whose name is Ranie, as reported by Mothership.sg - had contracted the services of a boutique photography studio, Little Panny.

Growing up, Ranie's grandparents had been her main caretakers as her parents were often away for work

Unfortunately, her grandfather suffered a stroke in early 2018, which made travelling to Australia for her graduation ceremony difficult - so she decided to bring the photo shoot to him instead.

Image via Little Panny Photo/Facebook

"I'm sure many of us thought of something we want to do with our loved ones but put it off until there was no chance to do so. She didn't want to live that regret," Jen Pan Photography co-head Ray told Mothership.sg.Little Panny is a subsidiary of Jen Pan Photography.

"[Ranie's grandfather] was so proud showing his toothless grin from time to time. He got emotional as he asked when would she be leaving again," wrote Little Panny.

10 Malaysian Artists Deck Out Petrol Stations With Murals Based On Popular Peribahasa

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Petron.

Have you ever heard of a Go-To-Safety-Point, a.k.a. GTSP?

Introduced back in 2013 by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), GTSP are locations like convenience stores and petrol stations, where the public can seek help when they are in trouble.For instance, in the case of an emergency like a snatch theft, you can walk into a GTSP to receive first aid, contact the nearest police station, and get in touch with other emergency services.

Image via Petron

The idea of GTSP is to create more safe spots that the rakyat can access and where they can feel secure. Nevertheless, not every Malaysian is aware of this initiative or how it can benefit them.

To help increase the awareness of GTSP among Malaysians, Petron recently launched a safety campaign in collaboration with PDRM.
This resulted in murals painted across 30 Petron stations nationwide!

Image via Petron

In conjunction with Petron's 10th anniversary in Malaysia, the company worked together with 10 local artists from Art Battalion to come up with murals that would embody the message of safety.What's cool is that each of the murals are based on popular peribahasa, and carry a special meaning through the artwork.

Here's a look at some of the murals and the meanings behind them:

1. Alah bisa, tegal biasa

Image via Petron

Painted by: Mat Izwan, a.k.a Mat OnlyMural location: Petron Sungai Besi Toll SBPeribahasa meaning: We will find it easier to do difficult tasks if we do it often.In the case of road safety, motorcyclists and passengers ought to get used to wearing their helmets properly. While it may seem like an extra step at first, you'll get used to it over time, and most importantly, it will protect you and your loved ones.

2. Berat sama dipikul, ringan sama dijinjing

Image via Petron

Painted by: Husna HelmeeMural location: Petron, Batu Caves KLPeribahasa meaning: To work together through tough and easy times.Road safety is everyone's responsibilities. Instead of turning a blind eye, we should always be ready to lend a hand to those in need (in situations where it's safe for us to help). Together, we can keep each other safe!

3. Bagai menatang minyak yang penuh

Image via Petron

Painted by: Nadzmi HassimMural location: Petron, ML 3 Jalan Kelang LamaPeribahasa meaning: To take care of children with lots of love.Accidents on the road can be unpredictable. That's why it's crucial to safeguard your little ones by placing them in appropriate child seats. Your children's safety starts with you.

In addition to these murals, Petron also informed the public that their staff are trained to handle emergencies, so customers can have extra peace of mind while fueling at their petrol stations

Image via Petron

At GTSPs like Petron stations, staff have been trained by members of PDRM on how to react to emergency situations, so they are well prepared to handle any incidents that may occur.Ultimately, customers at Petron can rest assured that they can always come to this safe zone in any moment of need for early assistance.

What We Know About The Gang Rape And Robbery Case At A Gambling Den In Puchong

Second suspect in the gang rape and robbery case dies while trying to escape from police

Image via Berita Daily

A suspect in the gang-rape and robbery case that took place at a gambling den in Puchong on 11 May has died after he fell off the 12th floor of the Seri Semarak People's Housing Project in Kuala Lumpur, last night, 18 May, reported The Malay Mail Online.The suspect, aged 22-year-old, was one of the two men police were on the lookout. The other suspect, aged 26-year-old, was arrested on Sunday in Kuala Selangor.Speaking about the death of the suspect, Serdang District Police chief ACP Megat Mohd Aminuddin Megat Alias told The Malay Mail Online that it happened at 10.10pm while the suspect was trying to escape from police during a raid at his house.“Police broke down the door after the suspect refused to open it. He tried to escape to the unit below by clinging to the grille in the kitchen. After being persuaded, he refused to surrender before plunging down,” he was quoted as saying by The Malay Mail.

Previously, a 33-year-old Indonesian woman had lodged a FIR

On Tuesday, a 33-year-old Indonesian woman, whose rape by two men at an illegal gambling den in Bandar Kinrara was caught on CCTV, had come forward and lodged a report at the district police headquarters.According to The Star, which quoted Serdang OCPD Asst Comm Megat Mohamad Aminuddin Megat Alias, the woman was with her Bangladeshi colleague at the premises during the incident."The two suspects walked in on the pretext of being customers when the place was empty. Then they brandished their knives and robbed the Bangladeshi," he said.The suspects, he added, then took turns to rape the woman.'They also stole the identification and travel documents of both the victims before fleeing. The woman was afraid to come forward as she did not have any documents on her and took shelter at a friend’s house down south," The Star Online quoted him as saying.

On 13 May, a CCTV footage that shows a woman being gang-raped by two men at a gambling den in Bandar Kinrara went viral

At the time of writing this story, the footage — that was uploaded on Facebook along with photos of both the men — has over 2,718,000 views.The guy, who uploaded the video and photos, claimed he got them via WeChat.

What we know so far

The crime, according to the time stamp on the CCTV footage, took place on the night of Thursday, around 9:54pm, 11 May

The Facebook upload was removed by the social media site on 14 May, Sunday, at around 1 pm, before it went viral across the platform, garnering over 29K Shares.

The CCTV footage, currently being investigated by police, shows two unidentified men entering an illegal e-gaming centre in Bandar Kinrara. Media reports say their intention was to rob the place.

However, after they had robbed the gaming centre, they also took turns to rape a woman, who is reported to be the cashier, in a hidden corner of the outlet.The gang rape was captured on the CCTV footage, which was leaked on WhatsApp and WeChat along with the photos of the two unidentified men.

There has been no report of the incident at the police station so far

But a taskforce has been set up to positively identify the victims, suspects and the crime scene, said Serdang OCPD Assistant Commissioner Megat Mohammad Aminudin Megat Alias, following pictures surfaced on social media of the alleged suspects being handcuffed and led into a black vehicle, reported The Star Online.Meanwhile, Selangor police could not confirm if such arrests were made.

The victim has yet to lodge a report of the crime

Because police had yet to receive a report about it, the Serdang police chief Assistant Commissioner says it was too early to establish if it was really a robbery and rape.

While police say they are probing the four-minute recording to obtain leads, they have also appealed to the victim to come forward

The two suspects according to the CCTV footage that uploaded on Facebook.

Here's The New Logo For Visit Malaysia 2020

The new logo for 'Visit Malaysia 2020' was launched on Friday at the ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) 2018 at Chiang Mai, Thailand

Image via TourismMalaysia

Featuring caricaturish sketches of an orangutan hugging a proboscis monkey alongside a turtle on a beach, all wearing sunglasses, the logo's text incorporates the Petronas Twin Towers

The new logo tries to portray Malaysia's treasured flora and fauna, with a tagline "Travel, Enjoy, Respect", which Tourism and Culture Minister Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said is in line with the United Nations World Tourism Organisation's aspirations.

However, the new 'Visit Malaysia 2020' logo has riled up a lot of Malaysians. They criticised it for how poorly it has been designed.

How about stop using design agency that has no idea what they are doing? Why always show to the world that Malaysia only can do shitty stuffs? Man, such humiliation — Taylor Ling (@taylorling) January 27, 2018

It is already embarrassing to showcase a power point clip art as a logo & this happened in SEA country. Gosh. This tells so much about Malaysian talents.— Ellice Ng (@Ellicenps) January 27, 2018

sorry to say, but that is one ugly logo. I'd rather have the 2014 logo being reused.— Шaфик Aшpaф (@syfq_syrf) January 27, 2018

The fact that the logo appears to carry different font sizes doesn't help either

Look, I don't usually critique design in public, but when it comes to the Ministry of Tourism and Culture using taxpayers' money...who designed this logo, how much did they get paid for it, and how much did the people who approved it pocket for themselves? #ViSitMalaySia2o2o pic.twitter.com/jSpTO0i70d— Charis Loke (@charisloke) January 27, 2018

"Let's use two different styles of illustration in the two Os. And make sure nobody can tell what they are unless they see the logo up close! We want them to guess if the orang utan is hugging another orang utan or a person." #VisitMalaysia2020— Charis Loke (@charisloke) January 27, 2018

"Make sure the turtle and the orang utan/s wear sunglasses. We have to get the message across that everyone and everything is cool and chill in sunny Malaysia."— Charis Loke (@charisloke) January 27, 2018

"And screw kerning and alignment, you know, cos we don't abide rules here. That 's', let it float free and unencumbered. Let's see how close we can mash the letters together without them touching. Like when you play rubber tops in school and try to knock your friends' ones down."— Charis Loke (@charisloke) January 27, 2018

I'm sick & tired of this humiliation. How can you be a freaking minister, when you can't realize how awful & humiliating this logo is. You know what this says to the world for 2020? "Malaysians can't design." I weep for all our great graphic designers. #VisitMalaysia2020 pic.twitter.com/FdGn2TttwP— Arshad (@itsmymn) January 27, 2018

While Nazri did not say who designed the new logo, a graphic designer tweeted a six-panel comic strip that mockingly showed that the Minister must have hired a child for the job:

 pic.twitter.com/dDJ7ArYbOz— Yoy (@ShrlSbrdn) January 28, 2018

What do you think about the new logo?

Meanwhile, Malaysian graphic designers have redesigned the logo and we're totally impressed:

Ayah Masuk Lokap, Mak Sakit Mental - Kisah Pemuda Bangkit Dari Kegelapan Jadi Inspirasi

Setiap manusia mengharungi fasa jatuh bangun dalam hidup

Image via ahmadikatu.com

Itulah roda kehidupan, kadang-kala kita di atas, kadang-kala kita di bawah. Terlalu banyak kisah kegagalan dan kejayaan bersilih ganti yang membawa seseorang itu di mana mereka berada sekarang.Tidak kira di mana kita berada, atas atau bawah, syukur dan redha dengan segala pemberian Tuhan. Bila di atas, banyak-banyakkan bersyukur dan cuba pertahankan tempat kita di atas. Kalau di bawah, redha dan terus berusaha untuk putarkan roda ke atas semula.

Seperti seorang pemuda ini, kisah beliau bangkit dari kegelapan harus dijadikan inspirasi ramai

Image via Twitter @sonoflukas

Dalam keadaan bapanya berada di dalam lokap, manakala ibunya pula dimasukkan ke dalam hospital mental, lelaki yang dikenali sebagai Shin di Twitter ini menceritakan bagaimana dia mampu bangkit walaupun perlu mengharungi cabaran yang begitu hebat.Shin, 25, merasakan dirinya adalah yang paling malang di dunia setelah tamat STPM. Walaupun mendapat keputusan cemerlang 4 flat, dia masih rasa kosong dan seolah-olah tidak bermakna.

Hidupnya terlalu kosong sehingga dia terjebak dengan najis dadah. Waktu ini juga, ramai rakan-rakan meninggalkannya.

Menurut Shin, mujur ada dua insan yang sanggup bersama dengannya ketika dia berada di tahap yang paling bawah dalam hidup. Tanpa dua insan ini, barangkali dia tidak mampu untuk bangkit dan sembuh dari ketagihan dadah yang dialaminya."Sungguh, sejak 5 tahun lepas, semua benda yang pahit kini jadi lebih baik," tulis Shin.

Baca perkongsian penuh Shin di bawah:

"Untunglah kau kaya," - member.Kalau kau nak tahu 7 tahun lepas aku masih pakai kapcai. 7am-2pm sekolah (STPM), 4pm-12am part time kedai mamak. Ayah aku dalam lokap, mak aku dalam hospital mental. Sekarang aku dah kenal hikmah, tapi— SHIN (@sonoflukas) February 23, 2020

time tu aku rasa akulah manusia paling sial dalam dunia. Tamat STPM dengan 4 Flat, kawan² ramai ucap tahniah, cikgu² semua bangga dengan aku. Tapi aku? Aku jadi blank. Time tu aku baru terfikir,— SHIN (@sonoflukas) February 23, 2020

"Shit whats all this for?"Of course i was happy. 4 flat was damn cool tapi harta aku cuma kapcai dan saving masa tu ada like 1K je. Ye boleh cari biasiswa tapi rumah sewa nanti sapa nak bayar? Kalau tak bayar nanti cuti sem aku nak balik mana?4F, 19, broke. Kau rasa?— SHIN (@sonoflukas) February 23, 2020

Setahun aku simpan sijil STPM aku. Buang jauh² impian nak jadi jurutera. Sepanjang tahun tu aku terlibat dengan najis dadah. Kawan² ramai tinggalkan aku. Kecuali 2 insan tu. [El (now tunang aku) dan arwah Umar].— SHIN (@sonoflukas) February 23, 2020

Kalau bukan penumbuk El malam tu, mungkin aku tak akan jadi siapa aku sekarang.Yeah gais she was just 15 or so that time tapi tangan orang ada martial art ni padu lain sikit. Tersungkur. Bisa memang bisa tapi bila aku dongak nampak muka dia menangis, aku terus tak jadi berdiri.— SHIN (@sonoflukas) February 23, 2020

Yang dia tumbuk tu rahang aku, tapi kenapa dada yang sakit? Senak. Aku tahu teori newton tapi graviti malam tu macam hilang. Malam tu lah aku janji kat diri sendiri, budak pendek nama El ni takkan nangis lagi disebabkan aku. Aku nak hidup. Untuk dia.— SHIN (@sonoflukas) February 23, 2020

Umar paling banyak tolong aku. Arwah tolong aku clean dari dadah supaya aku dapat sambung degree, bagi aku pinjam duit, bagi aku tumpang duduk rumah dia. Kalau mati boleh hidup lagi pun belum tentu aku mampu balas jasa dia. Alfatihah Umar.— SHIN (@sonoflukas) February 23, 2020

Sekarang aku dah nak tamat Master. Duit insurans mendiang mak aku lebih dari cukup untuk aku bayar cash segala fee study. Aku dah ada rumah, hadiah dari mendiang ayah sebelum dia ke tali gantung. Sungguh sejak 5 tahun lepas, semua benda yang shit jadi getting better.— SHIN (@sonoflukas) February 23, 2020

Ye aku senang sekarang. Tapi aku tetap ingat siapa Shin yang kerja kedai mamak gaji 4 ringgit sejam 7 tahun lepas. Peace :)— SHIN (@sonoflukas) February 23, 2020

Berakhirnya aku dgn ketagihan dadah dan masalah kewangan masih chapter 1. Aku baru 25. Terlalu awal utk aku kata yg aku dah lengkap seadanya sedangkan masa depan masih rahsia. Sesungguhnya hanya Allah yg Maha Mengetahui. Dan semoga kita sentiasa dalam Mardhatilah.— SHIN (@sonoflukas) February 26, 2020

Rupa-rupanya, Shin merupakan seorang mualaf yang baru saja memeluk Islam pada April 2019

Namun, pahit getir yang perlu dilaluinya pada tahun 2019 juga antara yang paling pahit.

January : Get over my genophobia. February : My mom died of cancer.April : I converted to Islam. June : Get circumcised.August : Lost my sister to a car accident.December : Completed the Quran :')2020, I'm ready Inshaa Allah.— SHIN (@sonoflukas) December 25, 2019

MP Pleads MOH For Help As Patients Are Placed On Camp Beds Outside Klang Hospital

Klang member of Parliament (MP) Charles Santiago is requesting for urgent help from the Ministry of Health (MOH) as Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) caves under its overwhelming patient load

On his Facebook page today, 7 July, Charles wrote that COVID-19 patients are being placed outside Klang general hospital's emergency department because there is a lack of proper beds in the building."It was a heart-wrenching sight," said the MP."This also sums up the state of our healthcare and particularly this hospital: it's overwhelmed – not enough beds, exhausted medical frontliners, plus medical equipment that are breaking down."

Image via @mpklang (Twitter)

The Klang MP requested for the federal government to immediately intervene to mitigate the tragedy that is currently unfolding at the hospital

"I am sending a letter to the Health Minister requesting an immediate increase in allocation for HTAR, so that a stand-alone temporary facility can be built to accommodate COVID-19 patients," said Charles."[I also] urge the government to use nearby budget hotels and public halls as an interim measure to place patients."He also hoped that big corporations based in Klang could help support the hospital with supplies of urgent medical equipment."Let's come together in this hour of need," he said.

Image via @mpklang (Twitter)

The politician's plea comes as photos and videos of the packed hospital circulate on social media

Last week, a video of the hospital's overwhelmed emergency department went viral, showing patients crowding the limited space in beds and wheelchairs.Malaysiakini also reported that the situation at HTAR has gotten worse than before, with a hospital source telling the news portal there were over 150 COVID-19 patients waiting for hospital beds today, 7 July.It is learnt that the hospital is also now caring for more than 350 COVID-19 patients – the ones placed outdoors are those awaiting transfer to low-risk treatment and quarantine centres, such as the Malaysian Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS).

Singapore's Shopping Cult-Favorite, Mustafa Centre, Is Coming To Malaysia!

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

Mustafa Centre will be opening its first Malaysian flagship store in Johor Bahru

The popular retailer from Singapore will be taking over the now-closed Capital City Mall (also known as Capital 21) located in Tampoi. The mall was shut down in early 2020 due to financial constraints.As reported by Bernama, in a statement released on Singapore Exchange, Mustafa's managing director Mustaq Ahmad stated that "Capital City Mall meets many of the requirements for [our] first flagship store in Malaysia". He mentioned a couple of key features, which are the proximity to Singapore and ample floor area.

Image via SHOUT.sg

Mustafa Centre has been operating in Singapore for five decades, opening its doors in 1973

The retail legend started as a small shop on Serangoon Road, and in 1985, it expanded into a department store on the ground floor of Serangoon Plaza. In 1995, Mustafa Centre was established as a stand-alone mall, with floors upon floors of consumer goods.Nestled in the heart of Little India on Syed Alwi Road, Mustafa Centre has been a popular tourist stop for the island and is most well known for being open 24/7.

"This is like KL's Mydin store on steroids," one mall visitor wrote in a review of the Singapore store on Tripadvisor

The same mall visitor reviewed that their experience visiting the mall was like "navigating a maze." Even after encircling the mall three times, they were not able to finish exploring the whole complex.They mentioned the ocean of people and overflowing racks of merchandise ranging from groceries to jewellery to luggage, and electronic appliances. Mustafa is also said to be known for their affordable prices.They advise people who visit: "If you like an item, take it immediately." This gives an idea on what to expect when Mustafa Centre opens its doors to patrons in Malaysia. Can't wait!

The mall and department store in Johor Bahru is expected to open in the second half of 2023

Selangor To Become First State To Offer Free Sanitary Pads In Fight Against Period Poverty

A free sanitary pad programme will be implemented for the first time by Selangor as part of the state's RM2.45 billion budget for 2023

The topic came up during the budget debate session at the Selangor state legislative assembly yesterday, 30 November. Bukit Melawati assemblyperson Juwairiya Zulkifli applauded the initiative to combat the stigma surrounding period poverty, which is when there is a lack of access to menstrual products, sanitation facilities, and adequate menstrual hygiene education.The subject, according to her, is not new, but because it is stigmatised and shunned by society, it is rarely discussed."Among the groups at risk of facing such a situation are women in rural areas, the urban poor, and the extreme poor," she was quoted as saying by Selangor Journal, adding that this is one of the factors contributing to education dropouts.

RM200,000 has been allocated in the 2023 Selangor Budget to address period poverty

The sum includes an awareness campaign and the provision of free sanitary pads, according to Selangor Journal."I hope this programme can continue in the coming years with bigger allocation to deal with period poverty in Selangor," said Juwairiya.Meanwhile, other nations have already adopted the practice. In South Korea, free sanitary towels have been distributed in all public spaces since 2018. Scotland followed suit and became the first country in the world to make period products free for all their citizens.

Last year, a woman came across a 12-year-old girl who did not have enough money to buy sanitary pads in Perak:

                Woman Buys Sanitary Pads For Unaccompanied 12YO Looking Lost Outside A Mini-Mart

The girl's family received help from many people, but they are all in the form of household items — not cash.

Two Tigers That Strolled Around Terengganu Kampung May Be Someone's Pet

Just a few days after two orcas showed up off the east coast in Terengganu, a pair of tigers were spotted strolling along a road at a village in Hulu Dungun yesterday, 18 July

The tigers, believed to have been a male and a female, were spotted by villagers at Kampung Besul, Bukit Besi.

Image via Twitter

Image via Twitter

It was not long before photos and videos of the roaming tigers went viral on social media

According to The Borneo Post, Terengganu Department of Wildlife and National Park (Perhilitan) director Dr Abdul Malek Mohd Yusof confirmed that the videos were real.Twenty Perhilitan staff were deployed to the village yesterday afternoon to find and catch the tigers.

Dr Abdul Malek believes the animals are someone's pet

Based on the tigers' tame behaviour, the director revealed that they may have been set free by their owner to wander around the jungle and got lost by accident."Besides, we also believe that the tame behaviour displayed by the tigers is probably due to an illness as they appeared less energetic," he said, according to Bernama."However, we cannot confirm this as the tigers are still at large," he told reporters last night.

Dead Pygmy Elephant In Tawau River Was Shot 70 Times And Had Its Tusks Removed

A pygmy elephant which was found dead along Sungai Udin, Tawau was shot more than 70 times at close range before it had its two tusks removed

This was concluded in a post-mortem conducted by a team of vets and wildlife officials, according to a source from the Sabah Wildlife Department, reported The Star.

Image via Twitter @bernamadotcom

Based on the wounds and bullets found in all parts of the elephant's body, it is suspected at least four or five poachers were involved in the killing of the adult male pygmy elephant

The poachers were believed to have used semi-automatic guns fired from close range, said the source from the Sabah Wildlife Department.The elephant was initially thought to be a juvenile female based on earlier photos that went viral last Wednesday, 25 September. However, the confusion could be due to how the carcass was found in the river."It was found tied to a riverbank and more than half of the elephant's body was underwater," said the source.

The body of the elephant was found by wildlife officers in a seated position after being pulled out of the river.
Image via Sabah Wildlife Department/Malay Mail

"It is not sure whether the elephant suffered greatly before dying, but one bullet went right through the left temple," the source explained

"Which might mean death was instantaneous, if the shot penetrated the skull and decimated the brain."However, since there are more than 70 gunshot wounds all over, it was hard to determine which shot hit the elephant first.Sabah Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga confirmed that the post-mortem had been completed and said the nature of the elephant's death was cruel.

Pygmy elephants are protected under Schedule 1 of the Wildlife Conservation Enactment 1997

Anyone found guilty of killing them could be jailed up to five years and charged with a fine of RM250,000.According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), there are only about 1,500 surviving Borneo pygmy elephants. They are considered the smallest subspecies in size, only reaching a height of up to 3m.The Borneo Post reported that pygmy elephants are regularly found dead in Borneo, adding to concern about their declining numbers.

Meanwhile, two caged sun bears in Kuching were rescued last week:

The owner was keeping the sun bear as a pet at the farmhouse near Kampung Rasau.
