[VIDEO] 'The New Village' Suspended: The Facts Are Misleading, Says MPM

Malay Consultative Council (MPM) says the movie will anger the Malays

The Malay Consultative Council (MPM) is against screening of the film “The New Village” to the public, spread via the social media or distributed in CD format.

        abnxcess.com

"It (The New Village) will anger the Malays who sacrificed so much. Large tracts of Malay reserve land were forcibly given to the British army to build new villages to resettle the communist sympathisers," he said in a statement.

        themalaymailonline.com

Secretary-general Dr Hasan Mad said today, the movie could not be classified as a fiction film because it contains historical facts that are misleading.The film could indirectly influence the people’s perception especially among those unfamiliar with the actual historical facts.

        themalaymailonline.com

The MPM representatives also found that nothing was mentioned whether “The New Village” is a fiction film or based on a true story.

In his YouTube video entitled 017 Double Standard uploaded on Thursday, Namewee decried  the call by some quarters for the Film Censorship Board to review the movie before allowing it to be screened.

        thestar.com.my

"I think it's really unreasonable. 'The New Village' is a local movie which was supposed to be released on the 22nd August. But due to some complaints from some stupid peoples, you're taking down and putting a ban on the movie. I think it's simply unreasonable."

Producers say it is a love story

The producers of "The New Village" film have defended it by stating that it is a forbidden love story set during a turbulent period in the country’s history. It noted that the film had been given the approval by the Censorship Board in September last year.

        malaysiandigest.com

“'The New Village' is a Chinese period feature film in Mandarin that depicts a forbidden love story. This Chinese movie is set against the backdrop of the struggles of the Chinese communities in the resettlement into New Villages by the British,” it said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“The movie has undergone all due processes including LPF (Lembaga Penapis Filem) screening, and was given a P13 classification with no cuts, in September 2012. Currently, 'The New Village' is going through a second review,” it said.

The home ministry has suspended the screening of a local Chinese movie, "The New Village", which was set to open in cinemas on Aug 22, pending another review by the Censorship Board. The movie is said to promote communism.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the decision was made following a furore created by social media bloggers and non-governmental organisations on the movie's content.

        freenewspos.com

He noted that reports and comments published in newspapers and blogs about the movie were done based only on the trailer of the film, which was uploaded onto the internet.

Zahid Hamidi says they will review the hidden messages in the movie

Ahmad Zahid said the Censorship Board which is under the purview of his ministry, will also look into claims by some that the movie carries strong elements of communism.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"The board will review the plot and the hidden messages in the movie. "The new release date will be decided once the second review is completed."

        themalaysianinsider.com

He said the ministry, however, will not hesitate to revoke the approval of the movie's screening should the film be found to be hero-worshipping the Malayan Communist Party (PKM) and humiliating the country's defence forces.

        malaysia-today.net

In a "Mingguan Malaysia" opinion article, Awang Selamat says the movie glorified communism

Ahmad Zahid’s decision comes following a stinging weekend piece in Mingguan Malaysia by Awang Selamat questioning how Putrajaya allowed the release of "The New Village", which it said, glorified communism.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

The movie is centred on the Emergency in Malaya in 1949 and portrays the Parti Komunis Malaya (PKM) and the Malayan People's Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA) as fighters for independence, said Awang Selamat.

        themalaysianinsider.com

It also showcases the actions of the British against the Chinese during the emergency. The film focuses on MPAJA, which was linked to the communist party, said Awang Selamat.

        malaysia-today.net

Awang Selamat further alleged that the producer of "The New Village" wanted to rewrite history by highlighting the struggles of the communists. "The production of the film appears to be an attempt to sanction the fight of the communists, including Chin Peng."

The screening of the local Chinese movie, "The New Village", should not be allowed if it is found to glorify communism and communist terrorists, said Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin.

"This is an attempt to rewrite our history by glorifying the communist insurgents who we know had committed a lot of atrocities against the people. "Although it it true that the communists had fought against the British (colonial rule), their violence cannot be forgiven".

The Communications and Multimedia Minister Shabery Cheek says don't ban the movie without viewing it

"If we ban the movie without viewing it, I am afraid it will help promote film or its content, which could not be screened on cinemas...but there are other avenues such as online screening".

        thestar.com.my

"For me, if the movie promotes communism and causes racial misunderstanding, we will not hesitate to stop its screening." He said the movie's storyline needed to be studied carefully to ensure if it was really free of negative elements.

        thestar.com.my

Shabery said the move was required to ensure that films that not adversely affect or cause various negative feelings among Malaysians were screened.

Questions of double standards of 'The New Village' over 'Tanda Putera' have surfaced

[FULL STORY] Filem sensitif 'Tanda Putera' telah banyak kali ditangguh oleh Jemaah Menteri, malah tayangan filem tersebut pernah dibatalkan oleh pihak UiTM. 'Tanda Putera' berkisah tentang peristiwa Mei 13 1969 dan dikatakan mempunyai unsur-unsur rasis dan kontroversial.

On the ease with which "The New Village" received approval for screening from the relevant authority compared to "Tanda Putera", Khairy said the double standards should not occur. "

Khairy: "From the trailer alone, we can see that the communist terrorists are hero-worshipped, and the movie could get away with it (approved for screening) just like that, while "Tanda Putera" had to wait for a year for screening (at the cinemas). To me, something is wrong here."

        mysinchew.com

You've Held An Erection Too Long & Now It Hurts. Here's What It Means To Have Blue Balls

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

Have you ever felt a sharp pain in your testicles after holding an erection for too long?

For some, the pain is so sharp that it completely hinders their movements temporarily, while others may experience prolonged discomfort from their testicles up to their lower abdominal area. Healthy Male, an Australian national organisation specialising in men's health, also noted that in some cases, the testicles may turn slightly blue.According to sexologist and sexual health therapist Dr Rachael Winston — affectionately known as Dr Ray — from MUC Healthcare, the chances of men getting blue balls in their lifespan are about 20% to 30%, which means that men can experience blue balls at some point in their lives if they don't release their sexual tension.

Don't be alarmed if you are experiencing this. This condition, known as epididymal hypertension or more commonly as blue balls, is harmless and common among men.

Image via Marcus Ganahl (Unsplash)

Blue balls are essentially painful or aching testicles. They occur when a man has an erection for an extended period and has no opportunity to ejaculate to relieve it.Based on a Q&A by non-profit organisation SMSNA, during an erection, the blood flows at a more rapid pace, causing the blood vessels in the penis and testicles to enlarge. "When you are aroused for a long period and do not climax or ejaculate, tension is built up in your epididymal area. This is what we call epididymal hypertension. It's a kind of high-pressure state within the balls," noted Dr Ray in an interview with SAYS.

So, how do you know whether you are experiencing blue balls? Here are the symptoms:

Image via Landon Martin (Unsplash)

- A feeling of heaviness in the testicles- Aching in the testicles- A dull pain in the testicles- Swelling in the testiclesAccording to Insider, aside from these symptoms, you may also experience anxiety and irritability. It is also likely that you will have a strong urge to ejaculate.

When you have blue balls, there are multiple ways to get rid of the pain. One surefire and quick way is to ejaculate.

Image via Deon Black (Unsplash)

"If you're aroused, just masturbate. When you release the tension, the discomfort will no longer be there," explained Dr Ray. Meanwhile, for some guys, the pain may still linger temporarily even after ejaculating, and that's normal.Priority Men's Medical also noted that having a cold shower will help to restrict the blood flow to the genitals. Other methods such as exercising or applying a warm compress may help relieve the pain as well.

Is it necessary to consult a doctor or sexual health therapist for blue balls?

Image via atlascompany (Freepik)

Nope, it's not necessary. Dr Ray noted, "There's nothing for you to get worried about, as it's not a serious complication. Regular masturbation will help you." Do note, however, if you continue to experience prolonged discomfort, dull aches, or notice swelling in your testicles, even after ejaculating, you should seek immediate medical attention. Additionally, if you're experiencing aching testicles, but you had no erection at all, you're most likely not experiencing blue balls. It may be a sign of something more severe like testicular torsion, kidney stones, epididymitis, and varicocele, as noted by Medical News Today.

In a nutshell, if you're experiencing blue balls, know that there is nothing to worry about. All you need to do is get your hands to work, and you'll feel better in no time. ;)

Golden Retriever Charged For 'Getting Lost' & Gets Adorable Mugshot Taken

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

It's been a difficult lesson for a certain mischievous 'floof' after it recently got lost and 'charged' by police officers

A female Golden Retriever sent Lumpini police in Thailand on a hunt for its owner after it strayed away from home and was found underneath a condominium building on Monday, 16 May.

This was the 'criminal' who got charged:

Police took a mugshot of the lost pup with a notice that read: "Name: Golden Retriever" and "Charge: Getting lost."

Image via สถานีตำรวจนครบาลลุมพินี (Facebook)

The photos were then posted on Lumpini Police's Facebook page in search of the dog's owner.Meanwhile, the pup was taken back to the police station and given some food to eat, as it patiently waited for its owner to 'bail' it out.

Image via สถานีตำรวจนครบาลลุมพินี (Facebook)

It even had some time to reflect on its actions...

Image via สถานีตำรวจนครบาลลุมพินี (Facebook)

... Well, sorta.

Fortunately for the little one, its owner eventually showed up. In a follow-up comment, police posted photos of one very apologetic-looking pup reuniting with its owner.

Selepas mengharungi satu musim yang penuh dengan banyak cabaran, akhirnya Todak berjaya dinobatkan sebagai juara MPL MY Musim ke-11 dan menempah slot ke Piala Asia Tenggara (MSC) 2023

Menerusi laporan Buletin TV3, perlawanan akhir menentang Team SMG itu, dominasi penuh ditampil TODAK yang garang merakam kemenangan 4-0 pada format grand final ‘best of sevens’.Game pertama, aksi kemas TODAK sukar untuk dijawab Team SMG yang terpaksa melepaskan permainan hanya dalam tempoh 12 minit.Penggunaan hero ‘Karrie’ oleh Muhd Danial Fuad atau lebih dikenali sebagai ‘CikuGais’ selaku ‘Marksman’ pasukan TODAK nyata sukar untuk dikawal Team SMG.

Ini adalah kejuaraan kali ketiga TODAK selepas turut menjulang trofi sama pada musim ke-6 dan musim ke-9

TODAK berjaya menjulang trofi selaku juara MPL Malaysia musim ke-11.

Walaupun Team SMG cuba bangkit pada game kedua, pertarungan yang berlangsung hampir setengah jam itu menyaksikan TODAK berjaya membuat ‘comeback’, mendapatkan kemenangan kedua pasukan.Dan game ketiga, dominasi terus dipamerkan TODAK dan kali ini, kesilapan yang dilakukan Team SMG dimanfaat juara dua kali MPL Malaysia itu dengan bantuan ‘minions’ memudahkan kristal lawan dimusnahkan.Cuba untuk menyekat kemenangan TODAK, Team SMG bagaimanapun terus berdepan tekanan dengan CikuGais menjadi watak cukup penting dengan penggunaan hero ‘Karrie’ buat kali keempat berturut-turut sebelum TODAK mengesahkan gelaran juara MPL Malaysia musim ke-11.Dalam pada itu, selaku juara, TODAK turut mengesahkan slot tunggal Malaysia ke saingan MLBB Asia Tenggara, Piala MSC yang akan dilangsungkan di Phnom Penh, Kemboja, Jun nanti.

Jho Low Claims There's "No Evidence Of Any Misappropriation Of 1MDB Funds"

A press statement issued today, 13 July, by a spokesperson for Low Taek Jho, more commonly known as Jho Low, refutes Singapore's claims that 1MDB has been a victim of the Malaysian financier

According to court filings by Singapore prosecutors, made public on Wednesday, Jho Low is the central figure in investigations linked to 1Malaysia Development Berhad and has received money traceable to the 1MDB for his own benefit.In a response, Jho Low has accused Singapore of being motivated solely by politics."This is an example of overreach with a politically motivated and selectively chosen narrative alleging 1MDB as a "victim"."

Image via Malaysiakini

The spokesperson for Jho Low said:

"It has been clearly stated by the Malaysian authorities that there has been no evidence of any misappropriation of 1MDB funds. No wrongdoing has been proved in any jurisdiction relating to the alleged misappropriation of 1MDB funds, and this development in Singapore does not change that."

The spokesperson for Jho Low, who went into hiding ever since investigations into alleged wrongdoing at 1MDB was started by Singapore and the United States, also said in the statement that:

"Low is confident that any impartial party presented with the complete facts will see that the allegations are flawed, biased and create an inaccurate picture."

According to a report in the BloombergMarket, Singapore prosecutors have alleged that about (RM4.3 billion) that 1MDB was purported to invest in a joint venture with PetroSaudi International was diverted to a bank account beneficially owned by Jho Low

Singapore is the only country, among others involved in investigating 1MDB-related crimes, to have criminally charged bankers, after its investigations have led to five convictions.On Wednesday, it sentenced a former Singapore banker to 54 months in jail for money laundering and offences linked to 1Malaysia Development Bhd.

[BREAKING] Anwar Claims He Has Majority To Form A New Government

Editor's Note: This story has been updated with Anwar's full statement.

PKR president Anwar Ibrahim claims to have 'formidable' and 'convincing' support from members of Parliament (MPs) to form a new government

Anwar held a special press conference earlier today, 23 September, during which he made the claim about securing a "strong, confident, and formidable majority"."The people of Malaysia deserve leadership which can navigate effectively during these turbulent times. Instead, we have an unstable government whose inability to handle the crisis in driving the country towards an economic recession and rising racial tension," he said."We have not seen it mobilise all the country's resources and capabilities to face the crisis head-on. What has happened, instead, is the government that's been busy distributing positions, appointments, and contracts to order to cling to an extremely bare razor-thin majority in parliament."According to Anwar, the people have been kept in the dark about the decision being taken in the Cabinet and Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has not held a single press conference since taking office. "It is difficult for us to know what the 70 ministers are doing. We have never been informed about the deliberations taking place in the Cabinet. Until now — seven months after taking office during an unprecedented national and international crisis — the Prime Minister has not held a single press conference following his regular Cabinet meeting."The PKR president then added that he has received convincing support from members of parliament (MPs) for him to present to His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

He stated he was granted an audience to meet Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah yesterday, 22 Sepmber, at 11am.The meeting was pospoted due to the Agong falling ill.

Citing his "clear and indisputable support and majority", Anwar said that the government led by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has fallen

He said that he will meet with the Agong when he regains his health and will provide more information to the public about what happens next.According to Anwar, this government will represent all people, with majority Malay-Bumiputera and fair representation of all races in this country."We hare committed to uphold the principles of the constitution that recognises the position of Islam, the sovereignty of Malay rulers ad upholds the position of the Malay language as the official language and the special position of the Malays and Bumiputera as well as give assurance to defend the rights of all races," he said."Lastly, I would like to say to all Malaysians, I promise to form a government with integrity and commitment to address the crisis that befell the country and put an end to corruption and fighting for the wellbeing of the people."

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin just announced that B40 and M40 groups will be receiving a second round of cash aid:

MOH Needs Recovered Malaysians To Help With Country's COVID-19 Immunity Research

If you have been tested positive with COVID-19 before, the Ministry of Health (MOH) needs your help in a study on immunity

In a Facebook post, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah appealed for assistance from recovered patients who were infected with the novel coronavirus before."A group of researchers from the ministry's Institute of Medical Research (IMR) is inviting Malaysians who have been previously infected by the novel coronavirus to join a medical study," he said.

The study is called the 'Longitudinal Study of Neutralising Antibody Response Among COVID-19 Patients in Malaysia'

The research is important to find out if neutralised antibodies in the blood of a previously infected patient can prevent a second infection, explained the Health D-G."Your blood is precious for us to determine the immunity against COVID-19 and to improve the understanding of antibody response among COVID-19 patients at different time frames," reads IMR's poster that he shared.A couple of days ago, NPR reported that a 25-year-old American man, who was infected twice with the coronavirus earlier this year, has become the fifth confirmed reinfection case worldwide.

The research has been approved by the Medical Research Ethics Committee (MREC) to be conducted from August 2020 to July 2022

Kerana 'Flight Delay', Lelaki Ini Tuntut Pampasan Dan Berjaya Dapat RM1,389! Ini Caranya

Pernahkah anda tahu bahawa anda sebenarnya layak menuntut pampasan dalam pelbagai bentuk sekiranya berlaku kelewatan penerbangan?

Gambar sekadar hiasan
Image via medium.com

Kami pasti ramai yang tidak tahu dan kurang peka tentang hal ini. Sekiranya berlaku kelewatan penerbangan atau flight delay, syarikat penerbangan sepatutnya perlu memberi pampasan kepada setiap penumpang yang terjejas.Penumpang pula berhak untuk meminta pampasan bukan sahaja dalam bentuk wang Ringgit, tetapi boleh juga menuntut untuk diberikan penginapan percuma, makan percuma, akses internet tanpa had, dan lain-lain.

Namun, itu semua bergantung kepada durasi kelewatan tersebut

Gambar sekadar hiasan
Image via telegraph.co.uk

Pampasan yang boleh dituntut ini hanya berkuatkuasa sekiranya kelewatan melebihi dua jam atau tiga jam dan ke atas, bergantung kepada syarikat penerbangan.Dan sekiranya penerbangan tersebut dibatalkan, penumpang berhak mendapat bayaran balik penuh dalam tempoh 30 hari.

Memang rugi besar kalau tak tuntut.
Seorang lelaki berkongsi tentang bagaimana dia mendapat pampasan sebanyak RM1,389 semasa berada di Turki.

Lelaki yang dikenali dengan nama Bal Mohd di Facebook menggesa orang ramai supaya menuntut hak sebagai penumpang sekiranya berlaku kelewatan penerbangan selama lebih 3 jam.

Menerusi tulisannya yang dimuat naik di Backpackers Buddies Malaysia (BBM) itu, Bal atau Iqbal menceritakan pengalaman di mana penerbangannya terpaksa ditangguhkan sebanyak tiga kali ketika transit di lapangan terbang Istanbul, Turki.Penerbangan pulang ke Kuala Lumpur dari Copenhagen yang dijadualkan berlepas pada 1.45 pagi tetap tidak dapat terbang walau selepas jam 5 pagi.

Setelah terlalu lama menunggu, Iqbal mengambil tindakan untuk bercakap dengan kakitangan syarikat penerbangan berkenaan dan menuntut hak sebagai penumpang

Nak dipendekkan cerita, akhirnya Iqbal berjaya menuntut penginapan satu malam di hotel 4 bintang, siap dengan penghantaran percuma ke hotel, dan pampasan wang Ringgit sebanyak RM1,389.Banyak tu!

[VIDEO] Did You Know: Your Deleted Files Are Still There

Watch: where do my deleted files go?

When you delete something (and yes, from the Recycle Bin too) it's just marked as 'unavailable'

Even though you delete your files, they are still there. They have just been marked unavailable. The file in itself is still there taking up space, but the space that it allocates is marked available.

        bitrebels.com

Even if a file is deleted properly, it can still be retrieved using specialist software.

When you empty the Recycle Bin, the "pointers" are deleted from the Master File Table (MFT) and any program can then use the space the file took up. But - the data is not erased. Other programs might write over the data and thus obliterate the original data.

The file in itself is still there taking up space, but the space that it allocates is marked available. This means that until another file is saved on the same sectors as your deleted file, it’s still going to be there.

If you want to make sure your files are completely deleted, well you either have to crush your hard drive into teeny tiny pieces or overwrite your entire hard drive at least a couple hundred times, if even that is enough these days.

Eventually your file will be overwritten by other files. Until that happens, it is still possible to retrieve your file with 3rd party software.

This 21-year-old died after reportedly working 72 hours in a row in Bank of America. He was an intern there.

Moritz Erhardt, Investment Banking Intern, Dies In London!

His name was Moritz Erhardt and he was just a week shy of completing his summer program

Mr Erhardt was near the end of his seven-week summer internship with Bank of America Merrill Lynch in London when he died.
Image via dailymail.co.uk

"He was popular amongst his peers and was a highly diligent intern at our company with a promising future,” McIvor said in a statement, “Our first thoughts are with his family and we send our condolences to them at this difficult time.”

        sky.com

The intern, 21-year old Moritz Erhardt, was described by Bank of America spokesman John McIvor as “an outstanding student.”

        huffingtonpost.com

Internet rumors about the death of an intern inside Bank of America Merrill Lynch bank began circulating Friday, with anonymous posters on website Wall Street Oasis suggesting a young man had worked an excessive amount of hours in the three days prior to his death.

        ft.com

Prior to his internship with the bank, Erhardt was a German exchange student at the University of Michigan’s Stephen M. Ross School of Business.

        huffingtonpost.com

Reports say that he suffered an epileptic fit

He collapsed in the shower in his student flat in East London amid claims that he had worked throughout the night eight times in two weeks in a bid to impress company bosses, returning home at 6am on three consecutive days.

        telegraph.co.uk

Yesterday it was claimed Mr Erhardt may have suffered a fit or seizure.

        dailymail.co.uk

In an online profile, Mr Erhardt revealed that he had developed a tendency to be “over ambitious” at an early age. He said: “I have grown up in a family that expected me, in whatever respect, to excel in life."

        telegraph.co.uk

"By implication, I felt somehow pressurised. However, I did not intend to belie my parents’ expectations. Therefore, I have become a highly competitive and ambitious nature from early on.”

        telegraph.co.uk

The 21-year-old wanted to "help build a fairer, more peaceful and more humane world"

He said: “With respect to my performance in school, I was striving for excellence and trying to be the best all the time."

        dailymail.co.uk

“My primary goal consists of the pursuit of continuous improvement and the desire to strive for excellence. I want to make the very best out of everything that comes my way.”

        telegraph.co.uk

Sleep deprivation may be the reason behind Mr. Erhardt death. Here's what it is and does to our mind and body

Sleep deprivation is the condition of not having enough sleep; it can be either chronic or acute. A chronic sleep-restricted state can cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness and weight loss or weight gain.

Work-life balance: Here's how to achieve it

How people weave together their personal life with their profession varies. What works for one person won’t work for another. It boils down to whatever is best for you.

For starters, here are 3 brief ideas to help you bring a little better balance into your life: 1. SCHEDULE DOWN TIME,  2. OUTSOURCE THOSE TASKS THAT YOU CAN, and 3. AVOID NEGATIVE PEOPLE THAT SUCK YOUR ENERGY

        forbes.com

Figure out what you want your priorities to be, not what you think they should be. Ask yourself, "If I could only focus on one thing in my life, what would it be?" That answer is your top priority.

        salary.com

Visualize your ideal life - dare to dream and write down the top ten things you want to accomplish on your "life list." Pursue your passion persistently - own it and be disciplined in achieving what you truly desire out of life.

        about.com

For one week, track how you spend your time. How much time do you spend doing things that don't matter to you? Or that don't align with your priorities? Eliminate these things from your life, or delegate them.

        salary.com

Go to bed a half hour early and get up a half hour early - this allows you to carve out additional personal time. When confronted with a choice, ask yourself: What's the cost? Will this add to my life or create more stress?

        about.com

Lack of sleep, poor nutrition, and bad exercise habits can cause you to feel a lack of balance in your life, and can counteract any efforts you are making to achieve work-life balance.

Student Who Rammed His Mercedes Into KL Traffic Cop Fined RM5,000 & Jailed For 3 Months

Earlier today, a 25-year-old college student was sentenced to three months in jail and fined RM5,000 by the Magistrates Court in Kuala Lumpur

The private university student pleaded guilty to ramming his Mercedes Benz E200 into a traffic policeman at around 8.11am on Tuesday, 2 April, at Jalan Raja Laut.According to Malay Mail, the student, identified as Tan Wooi Zhan from Ipoh, was charged with reckless driving under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

Under the law, Tan Wooi Zhan could have been sentenced for up to five years in jail and fined between RM5,000 and RM15,000

The accused, who was not represented by a lawyer, asked for leniency, saying he was remorseful of his actions and promised not to repeat the same mistake.He also claimed that the reason he rammed into the traffic cop was that another car had swerved into his lane and forced him to take evasive measures.Malay Mail reported the student pointing out that he alighted immediately to provide first aid to the injured policeman as he was trained to do so.However, deputy public prosecutor Muhamad Zuraidi Zulkifli urged the court to hand down a fair sentence as a reminder to the public to not make the same mistake."The accused was found driving his vehicle speedily until it lost control and was not aware of the situation," DPP Zulkifli told the court, as reported by Harian Metro.

While sentencing the student, Magistrate Saravanan said that the fine, if it was not paid, would attract another five months in jail

Along with the RM5,000 fine and the three-months jail term, the 25-year-old student's driving licence was ordered to be suspended for three years.

A Tale Of Love & Betrayal: The 1979 Murder Mystery Of M'sian Beauty Queen Jean Perera

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

More than four decades ago, the murder of Jean Perera Sinnappa gripped the nation when the former national beauty queen was found dead with numerous stab wounds on 6 April 1979

As much as her murder was a perplexing mystery to all, it was made into a bigger sensation as elements of deception, a twisted love triangle, and betrayal began surfacing. As reported by New Straits Times, it all began one fatal night when two Malaysia Airlines employees discovered the lifeless body of 31-year-old Jean Perera.The ex-beauty queen turned school teacher from Negeri Sembilan was found to have been stabbed over 10 times, sustaining injuries to the abdomen, hands, and chest, while still strapped to the passenger seat of a white Fiat 125. The car was pulled over at a secluded underpass along the Federal Highway, near what is now the Skypark Terminal at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport. S Karthigesu, who was driving the vehicle that night, was not found in the seat next to her, but was instead discovered lying face down unconscious beside the car. He was Jean's brother-in-law and alleged lover at the time.Karthigesu told the police that they were on their way home to Klang, and that he had pulled over at the side of the road to relieve himself, when he was hit on the back of the head by an unknown assailant, knocking him out cold, and erasing his memories of the moments leading up to the murder.

Jean, who at the peak of her career, won a beauty pageant while representing Negeri Sembilan.

Initial investigations revealed that Jean Perera was not only widowed, but was also involved in a love triangle

Jean had first married S Sinnappa, the brother of Karthigesu.Sinnappa, who was a chemist, had died in a car accident in Petaling Jaya on New Year's Eve, a mere four months before Jean's murder. After his death, Jean, who was a mother of three, packed up her family and moved in with her mother-in-law and Karthigesu.Citing Berita Harian, Southeast Asian magazine Unreserved reported that Karthigesu had been lusting over Jean for some time but had never acted on it due to their happy marriage. However, Karthigesu wasted no time after his brother's death and asked Jean to marry him. The two were known to share a very passionate relationship.On the surface, there was no way he could have been the person that delivered the final blow to Jean. That was until mid-investigation, when it was revealed that Jean had been cheating on both men with a Sri Lankan man named Dr Narada Warnasurya. The two began writing love letters when Jean was still married to Sinnappa, and continued even after his death, all of which eventually became known to her lover, Karthigesu.The police found a total of 19 letters that were exchanged between the two, with one even mentioning marriage. Narada had been tracked down by the authorities but refused to appear in court to give his testimony. It's reported that Jean had met the medical practitioner at a function in 1978.The existence of the love triangle, however, painted several motives onto Karthigesu. Locals speculated he was either a lover seeking revenge or a man avenging his brother's honour.

Circumstantial evidence began piling high against Karthigesu, and ultimately he was charged and arrested for the murder on 9 May of the same year

As reported by Varnam Malaysia, the 37-year-old psychology lecturer instantly became the first suspect in the murder when forensics failed to discover any traces of urine anywhere within the vicinity of the crime scene.The police was also suspicious of the fact that Karthigesu was found without any injuries, even though he claimed to have been attacked. However, the fact that he was found without any blood on his clothing severely worked in his favour, as it would have been impossible to stab a person multiple times and remain spotless.After four months, the police investigations halted and made way for the start of the murder trial. 38 days and 58 witnesses later, the arrest of Karthigesu made history as the first case in the country to be charged based on circumstantial evidence and an extrajudicial confession.

Karthigesu was found guilty and spent two years in prison before his sentence was cut short by a man named Bandhulanda Jayathilake, a family friend of the defendant

Out of all the witnesses involved, he was the key witness, and was extremely pertinent to the sentencing of Karthigesu. He testified that the accused had confided in him a while before the murder, claiming that Karthigesu believed that Jean "deserved to die".Everything changed, however, when he decided to come forward and renounce his prior statement. Bandhulanda, who was then sentenced to 10 years for committing perjury, died two years into his prison term.This left the case with insufficient evidence, and the court had no choice but to release Karthigesu on 20 May 1981.After two years and four days behind bars, Karthigesu walked away a free man.

Karthigesu walked out a free man and is said to have settled down somewhere in Klang.
Image via Varnam Malaysia

Four decades later, the murder remains unsolved due to the lack of new leads, suspects, and evidence

The case of Jean Perera remains one of the most sensationalised and puzzling murder mysteries in Malaysia.The tragic tale has even inspired a book entitled, The Murder Of A Beauty Queen, written by British journalist, Alex Josey.

Manakala, dua lagi anggota bomba yang meninggal dunia dari BBP Shah Alam iaitu Adnan Othman, 33 dan Muhammad Hifdzul Malik Shaari, 25.

Ibu kepada mangsa yang paling muda dalam pasukan itu iaitu Yahya Ali, 24, berkata anaknya sempat menghubunginya untuk meminta restu sebelum pergi menjalankan tugas

Ibunya Halimah, 42 bersama bapanya, Ali Bengang, 53, dikatakan telah menerima berita kematian anaknya itu dengan reda dan tenang. Paling menyedihkan apabila dia menjelaskan bahawa kejadian itu berlaku ketika adik-adik Allayarham yang lain sedang menjalani peperiksaan penting di sekolah.Menurut laporan, ibunya turut menjelaskan bahawa, “Hampir setiap hari dia menelefon bertanya khabar kami sekeluarga, begitu juga perkembangan pelajaran adik-adiknya. Malah, setiap kali selepas operasi dia pasti akan memaklumkan perkembangannya kepada saya."

Allahyarham Yahya Ali.

Kata-kata terakhir dari arwah adalah, "Mak, nanti kita berbual lagi, saya ada tugasan sikit.."Namun begitu, ibu mangsa masih menunggu panggilan dari mangsa. Sehingga malam tadi beliau dihubungi dan menerima perkhabaran bahawa anaknya adalah salah seorang mangsa yang terkorban ketika bertugas.

Allahyarham merupakan anak sulung daripada empat beradik dan merupakan harapan keluarga

Menurut ibunya, Allahyarham sememangnya memang bercita-cita untuk menjadi seorang anggota bomba sejak dari sekolah rendah kerana niatnya mahu membantu masyarakat. Beliau juga begitu gembira ketika dapat menyarungkan pakaian seragam bomba.

Kali terakhir arwah pulang ke kampung adalah pada 21 Julai yang lalu untuk menghadiri majlis perkahwinan saudaranya. Namun, tiada perubahan yang ditunjukkan olehnya.

“Sebagai insan biasa, kita tidak dapat menolak ketentuan Illahi... apa pun, kami sekeluarga berasa amat sedih kerana kehilangan insan yang kami sayang buat selama-lamanya,” tambah ibunya lagi.

[FACT OR FAKE #7] Do Masks Really Protect You From The Haze?

Why should I protect myself from the haze? What's in the haze?

Haze particles are predominantly made up of fine particles that are 2.5 microns or smaller (PM2.5). Studies have shown that N95 masks provide good protection, they're at least 95% efficient against fine particles that are about 0.1–0.3 microns.

        e101.gov.sg

According to The National Environment Agency Singapore (NEA), you won't need a mask till the PSI level exceeds 150 in the "Unhealthy" range.

        menshealth.com.sg

Why are people saying that wearing masks is useless and that it won't protect you from the haze?

According to Singaporean politician and colorectal surgeon Dr. Koh Ph Koon, ordinary surgical masks do not serve any protection so don't go rushing for them.

        theasianparent.com

Short term exposure won't cause cancers & that only those who need to be outdoors for long periods of time need to wear the N95 masks. If you're sitting in an air-conditioned office, there's no real need for one.

        theasianparent.com

#1. N95 Particulate Respirator: FACT - YES, this mask provides good protection

N95-level respirator is at least 95% efficient when tested against sodium chloride (salt). Used for solid & non-oil based particles. Applications include grinding, sanding, bagging & general processing of various minerals & other substances that do not contain oil.

        amazon.com

#2. Polypropylene Mask: NO, surgical masks DO NOT serve any protection

The polypropylene mask is approved for first aid, bio safety, emergency preparedness, laboratory, medical, dental & food processing. It protects the user against liquid strike-through and biofluids.

        acklandsgrainger.com

Which mask should I be wearing? What about pregnant women, children and seniors?

The N95 is NOT SUITABLE for pregnant women and children. Persons with chronic lung or heart conditions who feel uncomfortable when wearing the N95 masks should stop doing so and consult a doctor before carrying on.
