1. "Nampak emak saya tak?"

Image via google.com

Pada suatu malam, ada seorang lelaki yang berasal dari Kuala Lumpur mahu pulang ke rumah pada waktu malam. Selalunya ramai orang memilih untuk mengguna lebuh raya Karak pada waktu malam kerana mahu mengelakkan kesesakan jalan raya dan juga bahang panas matahari.Namun, lelaki ini yang begitu suci pemikirannya daripada kisah-kisah hantu di lebuh raya Karak terlalu penat pada malam itu, lalu memilih untuk berhenti memandu dan tidur di dalam kereta di tepi jalan.Baru sahaja beberapa minit dia terlelap, dia kembali dikejutkan dengan bunyi ketukan tingkap dari luar. Rupa-rupanya ada seorang budak lelaki yang merenungnya tanpa berkelip-kelip dan bertanya kepadanya di mana ibunya.Pemandu itu masih mempunyai naluri yang kuat. Nalurinya kuat mengatakan dia harus menghidupkan enjin kereta dan memecut laju dan jangan mempedulikan budak misteri itu. Pemandu itu pun terus meninggalkan tempat tersebut dengan kereta yang dipecut laju.Namun begitu, dia melihat budak itu masih mengejar dengan laju dan terus bertanya dan bertanya jika pemandu itu tahu di mana ibunya.Kemudian sebuah kereta polis peronda pun muncul lalu mengekori kereta lelaki itu. Ketika itulah hantu budak sesat cari ibu itu menghilangkan diri. Lelaki ketakutan dari Kuala Lumpur itu pun menceritakan segala-galanya kepada pegawai polis. Pegawai polis memberitahu lelaki tersebut:Pada suatu ketika dahulu, ada kemalangan berlaku di sini. Kemalangan itu berlaku dipercayai kerana penumpang di dalam kereta tersebut tidak memaki tali pinggang keledar keselamatan semasa memandu. Dalam kemalangan itu, ibu kepada budak tersebut telah tercampak keluar dari keretanya. Manakala budak tersebut kekal di dalam kereta. Disebabkan hal itu, budak itu pun merayau-rayau mencari ibunya sehingga kini.Ada orang kata semasa kemalangan itu berlaku, budak itu yang duduk di bahagian depan, manakala ibunya sebagai pemandu. Dalam kemalangan itu, cermin pecah dan kaca menusuk ke mata budak itu.

2. Misteri Volkswagen kuning yang tak boleh dipotong

Hantu Volkswagen kuning ini dipercayai mula mengganggu kenderaan di lebuh raya Karak sejak tahun 1956.Tetapi selepas Lebuhraya Utara Selatan dibina merentasi kawasan yang dinamakan Jelapang, sejak itulah hantu Volkswagen kuning semakin ketara muncul dengan mengganggu kenderaan yang lalu lalang di situ. Puncanya dipercayai bermula dari sebuah kisah seorang isteri curang yang telah membunuh suaminya dengan kejam dan kemudian merampas kereta Volkswagen kuning milik suaminya.Sang suami mati sambil menyimpan rasa dendam yang membara untuk memiliki semula Volkswagen kuning tersebut. Kenyataannya, jika benar hantu Volkswagen kuning ini wujud dan pernah dilihat orang, maka itu adalah jin (keturunan iblis yang bergelar jembalang), bukan si suami malang yang mati dibunuh kejam.Volkswagen ini akan muncul secara tiba-tiba dan sekiranya pemandu memotong kereta tersebut, ia akan berada di hadapan secara mengejut. Dipercayai, kemalangan berlaku disebabkan gangguan Volkswagen kuning.Menurut pengalaman seorang pelajar UIA yang datang dari Gombak menuju ke Temerloh dengan motosikal pernah melalui dan tersermpak dengan kereta kuning di lebuhraya itu pada tahun 2009 pada waktu senja kira-kira jam 7.30. Disebabkan beliau mengetahui akan misteri tersebut, beliau hanya ambil langkah bertenang dan tidak memotong kereta tersebut. Kereta tersebut bergerak tanpa pemandu…

3. Penampakan pontianak

Tanpa fikir panjang, pintu kereta ditutup dan Saifullah menekan pedal minyak semahunya. Malik menekup muka, Azizi pula menenangkannya. Tingkap yang sebelum itu dibiarkan terbuka pantas ditutup. Hadi bertanya, apa yang mereka nampak dan kenapa ketakutan sampai begitu sekali.“Aku rasa aku nampak pontianak. Dia tengah baring terlentang atas but kereta kau tapi muka dia menghadap kita. Masa aku toleh ke belakang tadi, mata aku betul-betul nampak matanya,” kata Saifullah ketika menceritakan detik cemas dia dan rakan-rakannya disapa makhluk halus di Lebuh Raya Karak.Selepas mendengar pengakuan rakannya, Saifullah cuba memberanikan diri untuk melihat ke cermin pandang belakang namun tiada apa yang kelihatan. Hadi pula cuba pandang ke belakang menerusi cermin sisi. “Pul, betullah. Aku nampak ada ‘benda’ dekat belakang,” kata Hadi. Mendengarkan katanya, kami semua tidak putus membaca kalimah al-Quran. Hadi pula beberapa kali mengalunkan azan dalam tempoh 15 minit.Apabila keadaan menjadi tenang, baru empat sekawan ini faham mengapa lori dan kereta yang memintas mereka menyalakan lampu besar. “Mungkin mereka nak beritahu kita pasal lembaga tersebut, tetapi kita yang tak faham. Mujur juga mereka masih boleh mengawal kenderaan kerana panik dan takut melampau juga boleh mengundang kemalangan,” jelasnya yang sehingga kini mengelak untuk melalui Lebuh Raya Karak pada waktu malam.Tidak menolak kewujudan entiti di laluan berkenaan, ramai yang berpendapat kawasan di sepanjang lebuh raya tersebut memang keras. Menerusi carian di beberapa blog yang memaparkan cerita seram, sudah ramai yang disakat oleh makhluk halus terutamanya jika menggunakannya pada waktu malam.Ada yang mengaitkan gangguan-gangguan tersebut terjadi ekoran kejadian kemalangan maut yang kerap berlaku di situ. Ada juga yang berpendapat, kawasan tersebut memang ‘keras’ kerana ia adalah tapak asal perkuburan lama.

4. Kereta sebuah keluarga rosak dan tersadai di tepi lebuh raya

Sepasang suami isteri yang masih muda bersama bayi mereka sedang dalam perjalanan di Lebuhraya Karak. Ketika itu, waktu malam. Mereka memilih waktu malam untuk mengelak traffic jam dan panas matahari.Semasa si suami memandu dalam kesunyian lebuhraya Karak, tiba-tiba, kereta yang dipandunya menghadapi masalah dan enjin terus mati. Si suami terkejut kerana dia yakin dia ada periksa kereta tersebut sebelum memulakan perjalanan jauh untuk keselamatan keluarganya. Kemudian, mereka tiada pilihan lain kecuali berhenti di tepi jalan.Si suami keluar untuk periksa enjin kereta tersebut manakala si isteri bersama anak mereka menunggu di dalam kereta. Selepas beberapa minit, si suami kembali semula dan memberitahu yang dia tak jumpa apa-apa masalah dan cuba untuk menghidupkan kereta itu lagi. Tetapi, kereta tersebut masih tak nak hidup. Akhirnya, si suami terpaksa membuat keputusan yang sukar sama ada tunggu sahaja sampai kereta lain lalu atau cari pondok telefon berdekatan.Tidak ingin meninggalkan keluarganya, si suami mengambil keputusan untuk menunggu. Namun, setelah 20 minit, tiada satu kereta pun yang lalu di situ. Si suami tiada pilihan, dia nekad untuk cari pondok telefon berdekatan.Sebelum pergi, dia menasihati isterinya untuk mengunci pintu kereta lalu dengan berat hati pergi meninggalkan isteri dan anaknya. Si isteri hanya melihat suaminya berjalan pergi dengan kerisauan di minda. Dia berdoa agar seseorang akan ternampak kereta mereka yang rosak dan menawarkan bantuan lambat-laun nanti. Dia juga khuatir jika kemalangan terjadi di Lebuhraya Karak.Berjam-jam berlalu dan si isteri mula bertambah risau. Dia risau jika sesuatu terjadi kepada suaminya.Tiba-tiba, dia terlihat cahaya biru dan merah yang datang dari kereta peronda. Melalui cermin pandang belakang, dia nampak seorang anggota polis keluar dari kereta dan menuju ke kereta rosak tersebut. Mereka meminta si isteri untuk keluar dari kereta rosak tersebut secara senyap dan jangan pandang belakang.Si isteri keluar (bersama bayi) dan berjalan ke arah kereta polis dengan anggotanya. Bila dia sudah berada di jarak yang selamat, dia pun menoleh ke belakang dan terlihat kepala tanpa badan suaminya di atas kereta mereka. Sehingga hari ini, badan si suami masih belum ditemui.Dipercayai, sepanjang menunggu suaminya pulang ke kereta dari pondok telefon, terdapat beberapa bunyi dentuman datang dari atas bumbung kereta tersebut.

5. Panggilan seram ke sebuah saluran radio

Suatu malam, seorang DJ Radio pada tahun 90-an mengadakan satu rancangan berkongsi cerita-cerita seram. Ada seorang pemanggil call dan ceritakan satu pengalaman ngeri. Cerita itu didengar secara langsung di radio oleh semua pendengar seluruh Malaysia.Pemanggil itu telefon dan menceritakan pengalaman dia sedang memandu malam di satu lebuh raya bersama isteri, anak, dan kedua orang tuanya yang mana kemudian mereka terlibat dalam satu kemalangan tragik. Kereta yang dipandu itu terjatuh ke dalam gaung.Dia memberitahu dia sangat sedih kerana kedua orang tuanya dan seluruh ahli keluarganya meninggal dunia akibat kemalangan tersebut. Akhir sekali dia berkata dia nampak dirinya juga mati di tempat kejadian, diikuti dengan hilai tawa dan kemudian talian terus terputus!DJ radio berkenaan cuba memanggil semula beberapa kali dan panggilan tidak dapat disambung lagi. Beberapa minit kemudian, rancangan kembali seperti biasa. Ramai yang menyangka ia hanya sekadar satu panggilan palsu atau prank call.Namun keesokkan harinya, di akhbar terpampang berita mengenai kemalangan di kilometer yang sama seperti yang diceritakan oleh si pemanggil radio malam tadi. Dan mangsa yang mati adalah 2 orang warga emas, seorang kanak-kanak, dan sepasang suami isteri!DJ radio berkenaan terkejut lalu cuba mendengar semula rakaman malam tadi dari pemanggil misteri tersebut, namun rakaman tersebut kosong dan hanya dipenuhi dengan bunyi senyap yang mengerikan!

Apple Just Gave This Man USD1 Billion Dollars

This is Cheng Wei, a 33-year-old who, through his focused determination and quick growth, made Apple take note of his e-hailing firm Didi Chuxing, which happens to be one of the most watched online taxi booking companies in the world

Image via Fourtune/Imaginechina/AP

He started his ride-hailing company, which was named Didi Dache (later merged with Kuaidi Dache to form Didi Kuaidi which then became Didi Chuxing) back in June 2012 at the mere age of 29

Prior to that, he was with Alibaba.But because he would often miss his flights as he couldn't get a cab during his frequent business trips between Beijing and Alibaba's Hangzhou HQ, he left Alibaba and entered China's chaotic ride-hailing app market.

From 2012 to today, Cheng Wei's company has come a long way

So much so that, today Didi Chuxing (backed by Tencent and Alibaba), is valued at USD20 billion, more than double its closest ride-hailing app rival in mainland China, Uber China, which is valued at USD8 billion.Cheng Wei's company now operates in 400 cities compared to Uber in only 45 cities.

In fact, just to give you an idea of how huge this man's company in China is, it took Uber 5 years since its launch in 2009 to complete a billion rides worldwide early this year in January. In comparison, Cheng Wei's company had 1.43 billion rides in 2015 alone in China.

Which effectively makes it "the world's number one in rideshare market," despite the fact that the only country it was and is operating out of is China.

Image via Kevin Frayer/Getty Images

And here's something interesting, which may sound unbelievable, but despite the fact that his company today enables over one billion car rides each year, Cheng Wei still hasn't learned how to drive

But it only proves that you don’t have to be a master at your field to start.You only need to solve an issue big enough that people would pay money for. Which he effectively did by staying focused — only operating in China, and being mission focused — to help China be more mobile.And that's precisely what has attracted Apple to invest USD1 billion on Cheng Wei."With an unprecedented USD1 billion investment in Didi Chuxing, Apple didn't just buy a piece of China's biggest ride-hailing service. It also became a stakeholder in China's growing tech sector at a time when the Cupertino, Calif., company needs goodwill from Beijing more than ever," reads this LA Times feature.


The Two Men Who Bombed Movida In Puchong Will Be Jailed For 25 Years

The two ISIS supporters who threw a grenade at the Movida nightclub in Puchong have been sentenced to 25 years jail each

Imam Wahyudin Karjono, 22, and Jonius [email protected], 25, have been charged with committing a terror attack by throwing a hand grenade at the Movida nightclub in Puchong last year.
Image via Astro Awani

According to a report by Bernama, the Kuala Lumpur High Court sentenced both men - 22-year-old Imam Wahyudin Karjono and 25-year-old Jonius [email protected] yesterday, 29 March, after they changed their plea to guilty. Imam is unemployed and Jonuis was a factory operator. The terror attack left four men and four women injured, including a Chinese national. "Out of the eight, some were seriously injured, some maimed and some have bomb shrapnel in them. The act of throwing a hand grenade is a very serious crime, and the bombing of the Movida night spot was in fact, the most serious terror related crime in Malaysia," explained Judge Datuk Nordin Hassan.

"The aim of imposing the sentence is not just for both of you, but to give a signal to those outside there and your comrades who want to continue the struggle (of supporting violence) which they feel is correct."

The duo was also charged 10 years each for supporting terror activities. Imam and Jonius will be serving their sentences concurrently from the date of their arrest. Imam was arrested on 29 June 2016, while Jonius was picked up on 1 July 2016.  They were both charged under Section 130C (1)(b) of the Penal Code for throwing hand grenade at Movida Boulevard Sdn Bhd entertainment centre at Lot G2 & G3, Ground Floor, IOI Boulevard in Puchong at about 2am on 28 June 2016.

It was also reported that Imam was charged for spreading terror ideology through the Telegram application between 25 March and 28 June 2016

New Straits Times reported yesterday, 28 March, that Imam conducted the offense in his house at C-4-19, Block Chempaka, Jalan Indah 1, Puchong Indah, Puchong. Jonius, on the other hand, was charged for providing support to terror acts that threatens the safety of Malaysians via the same Telegram application at Jalan Sg Condong 3, Bandar Armada Putra in Pulau Indah between 25 March and 1 July 2016. Imam and Jonius faced eight charges under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder and one charge under Section 8 of the Firearms (Heavy Penalties) Act 1971 for the usage of hand grenade to commit a crime.

The authorities believe that the men were planning to bomb night spots in their efforts to support ISIS

Reports show that the duo, along with two other people, had initially wanted to bomb the Pitbull nightclub but since it was closed that night, they had changed their target to the Movida nightclub instead.

Do you think the punishment would deter other people from committing similar terror attacks? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

On 28 June 2016, the accused threw a hand grenade which used a M213 Fuse at the Movida nightclub from a motorcycle:

The police have classified the case as attempted murder.

Ayam Terapi Al-Quran Katanya, Boleh Cegah Bala Katanya

Hebat! Peniaga zaman sekarang memang makin hebat. Lebih-lebih lagi dari segi marketing demi menjadikan produk jualan tampak lebih gah di mata orang ramai.

Macam-macam taktik diguna pakai oleh peniaga-peniaga kita. Ada yang pakai perempuan seksi, ada yang pakai model cantik, ada yang pakai cara kontroversi, ada yang pakai abang sado, dan macam-macam lagi.

Image via tumblr.com

Tapi nak lagi best, ada juga yang pakai agama sebagai alat pemasaran. Contohnya seperti di bawah:

Image via www.facebook.com

Image via www.facebook.com

Nampak tu, ayam-ayam dibela dalam gelombang Al-Quran. Wow! Macam manalah agaknya proses belaan tu ya.Katanya, ayam-ayam ini boleh membuat minda kita jadi lebih tajam kalau kita makan. Bukan itu sahaja, kesihatan kita pun akan bertambah baik dengan memakan ayam-ayam ini.

Menurut sumber, selepas semua ayam ini siap disembelih dan dibersihkan, peniaga akan simpan dalam bilik sejuk beku dan ketika itu, ayam berkenaan akan melalui proses terapi dengan alunan bacaan ayat Al-Quran dan Ruqyah

Oh, itulah yang dimaksudkan dengan gelombang Al-Quran. Baru kami faham.

Image via SAYS

Bila tengokkan respon orang ramai, nampaknya majoriti menganggap kelakuan ini seperti menjual agama dan menjatuhkan maruah Islam

Image via Terengganu Times/Facebook

Sudahlah menjaja agama, harganya pula dijual dua kali ganda lebih mahal!

Image via terengganutimes.com

Produk ayam terapi ini ditemui dijual di sekitar ibu kota dengan harga yang lebih mahal iaitu dua kali ganda. Selalunya, ayam biasa satu kilogram harga baru dalam RM7. Tapi ayam Islamik ini dijual pada harga RM14 sekilo.Istimewa sungguh ayam-ayam ini. Mungkin ia dijual mahal kerana dipercayai mampu mencegah bala dan penyakit kronik.Manyak untung maa!

Nabi Muhammad SAW dulunya merupakan seorang pengembala dan peniaga kambing. Tapi tak ada pula dengar Nabi gelombangkan kambing-kambing ternakan baginda dengan Al-Quran.

Mana datanglah agaknya Sunnah Melayu ni kan?Punyalah simple apa yang Nabi ajarkan kepada kita. Nabi kata kalau nak sembelih, baca Bismillah. Lebih elok, penyembelih itu perlulah seorang Muslim. Itu saja.Tak perlu terapi, tak perlu gelombang Al-quran, dan tak perlu buat macam-macam. Islam dah ajar cara mudah, kenapa orang zaman sekarang nak susahkan?

Image via SAYS

Mufti Kedah, Datuk Muhamad Baderudin Ahmad berkata tindakan tersebut secara terang bertentangan dengan agama Islam dan langsung tidak berlandaskan syariah

Mufti Kedah, Datuk Muhamad Baderudin Ahmad.

“Tindakan pihak tertentu menggunakan Al-Quran kononnya dalam makanan yang diterapi dengan ayat kitab suci itu, sekali gus melariskan jualan mereka adalah tindakan tidak bertanggungjawab dan bersalahan dari sudut agama.“Sewajarnya tindakan pihak tertentu yang menggunakan istilah makanan terapi Al-Quran tidak wajar berlaku kerana ia umpama merendahkan martabat Islam itu sendiri. Ayat al-Quran itu bukan untuk dijual beli, sebaliknya dijadikan teladan kepada umat manusia,” katanya.

Isu ini sebenarnya telah berlarutan selama bertahun-tahun dan sampai sekarang masih belum selesai. Lihat apa komen Dr Danial:

×

Ayam dibacakan Al-Quran, ikan pula disuruh puasa. Hmmm...

                Ikan Patin Di Restoran Ini Diwajibkan 'Berpuasa' Sebelum Dihidang Kepada Pelanggan?

Hmm... ikan pun kena puasa.

5 Mitos Ini Jadi Penyebab Semakin Ramai Ibu Bapa Enggan Beri Vaksin Kepada Anak

Artikel ini dikarang oleh Dr. Tabassum Khan, Pengarah Urusan AJ Pharma Holding untuk diterbitkan semula di laman web SAYS atas keizinan.

Ketahui, Bukan Dipengaruhi: Menyanggah Mitos & Menerapkan Kebenaran Berkaitan VaksinasiMaklumat tidak tepat berkaitan perubatan yang tersebar luas di Internet dan media sosial telah menimbulkan rasa takut terhadap imunisasi dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia.Menurut Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia, bilangan ibu bapa yang enggan mendapat vaksin untuk anak-anak mereka telah meningkat semenjak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini. Berdasarkan data dari tahun 2016, pengaruh media sosial dan Internet adalah antara faktor utama penolakan vaksin.Sempena Minggu Imunisasi Dunia yang menjelang tiba, pihak AJ Biologics Malaysia telah mengambil inisiatif untuk membincangkan isu-isu yang berkait rapat dengan punca penolakan vaksin dan bagaimana untuk mengubah beberapa tanggapan salah yang lazim dalam kalangan masyarakat.

Mitos #1: Vaksin menyebabkan autisme

Image via sinarharian.com.my

20 tahun telah berlalu semenjak satu artikel oleh bekas doktor British ternama, Andrew Wakefield, yang mendakwa terdapat kaitan antara vaksin MMR (campak, beguk dan rubella) dan autisme. Dakwaan ini diterbitkan dalam jurnal perubatan The Lancet.

Andrew Wakefield

Artikel ini akhirnya ditarik balik atas kesalahan yang serius dalam prosedur serta pelanggaran etika. Wakefield akhirnya kehilangan lesen perubatannya. Walau bagaimanapun, tanggapan salah bahawa vaksin menyebabkan austisme terus dipercayai sehingga hari ini.Banyak kajian susulan telah dijalankan untuk mengkaji hubungan ini. Namun bukti yang menyokong bahawa vaksin MMR menyebabkan autisme tidak ditemui.

Mitos #2: Pengambilan vaksin serentak menyebabkan limpahan sistem imun

Image via popsci.com

Menurut Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO), bukti saintifik menunjukkan pemberian beberapa vaksin secara serentak tidak mempunyai impak negatif ke atas sistem imun kanak-kanak.Setiap hari, kanak-kanak terdedah kepada beratus-ratus bahan asing yang mampu mencetuskan tindak balas imun. Pada hakikatnya, mereka terdedah kepada banyak antigen asing, atau bahan yang tidak wujud secara semula jadi dalam badan melalui aktiviti-aktiviti biasa seperti makan, minum dan bermain.

Image via themalaysiantimes.com.my

Jika dibandingkan, vaksin mengandungi jauh lebih sedikit antigen, maka sistem imun seseorang kanak-kanak tidak akan mengalami limpahan walaupun beberapa vaksin diberikan pada masa serentak, atau dalam tempoh yang singkat.

Mitos #3: Komponen-komponen vaksin bersifat toksik

Image via vaccineimpact.com

Ramai pelobi anti-vaksin telah menyampaikan kekhuatiran mereka terhadap penggunaan bahan-bahan kimia seperti merkuri, aluminium, dan formaldehid dalam vaksin.Memang benar bahan-bahan kimia ini bersifat toksik kepada tubuh manusia pada paras tertentu, tetapi, kuantitinya dalam vaksin adalah sangat sedikit. Lagipun, industri vaksin merupakan industri yang dikawal selia dengan ketat. Semua produk wajib menjalani ujian yang ketat sebelum diluluskan oleh pentadbiran ubat serta pihak-pihak berkuasa perubatan di seluruh dunia.

Image via livelovefruit.com

Tambahan pula, rasa takut terhadap komponen-komponen kimia dalam vaksin adalah tidak wajar kerana kita sebenarnya mengambil lebih merkuri melalui makanan setiap hari. Aluminium juga terdapat dalam udara, makanan serta air.Oleh itu, adalah penting kita menyedari bahawa setiap bahan yang digunakan dalam vaksin memainkan peranan yang mustahak dalam mengekalkan kestabilan, keselamatan serta keberkesanan produk.

Mitos #4: Imuniti semula jadi adalah lebih baik

Image via klimg.com

Sesetengah ibu bapa lebih menginginkan anak mereka memperoleh imuniti semula jadi melalui jangkitan penyakit kerana ia boleh menggalakkan penghasilan tindak balas imun primer. Ini memberikan imuniti lebih kuat terhadap penyakit.Walaupun imuniti semula jadi mungkin bertahan lebih lama daripada imuniti yang diberikan oleh vaksin, pendekatan ini mendatangkan kemudaratan yang jauh lebih besar berbanding manfaatnya. Faktor-faktor risiko berkaitan dengan jangkitan pelbagai penyakit ini adalah amat berbahaya, dan merangkumi lumpuh, kerosakan otak yang berkekalan, kegagalan hati, kepekakan, buta, bahkan kematian dalam kes-kes ekstrem.

Image via tv14.my

Misalnya, jangkitan demam campak menyebabkan kematian dalam dua daripada setiap 1,000 kes yang dilaporkan. Sebaliknya, vaksin MMR hanya menyebabkan tindak balas alahan yang serius dalam satu daripada setiap sejuta individu yang diberi vaksin.

Mitos #5: Kebersihan dan sanitasi yang lebih baik mengurangkan penyakit

Image via cloudfront.net

Walaupun sanitasi dan nutrisi yang lebih baik, air bersih, dan keadaan hidup yang lebih sihat telah membantu mengurangkan penyakit secara keseluruhannya, namun banyak penyakit masih boleh merebak tidak kira betapa baik kita menjaga kebersihan. Justeru, vaksin masih diperlukan untuk mencegah pelbagai penyakit berjangkit.Sebagai contoh, apabila beberapa negara maju seperti Great Britain, Sweden dan Jepun mengurangkan penggunaan vaksin pertusis (batuk kokol) lebih 20 dahulu berdasarkan penurunan kadar penyakit ini, negara-negara ini mengalami paras imuninasi yang jatuh menjunam, sekaligus mengakibatkan peningkatan kadar pertusis di ketiga-tiga negara ini.

Image via kqed.org

Adalah amat penting untuk kita menyedari bahawa, meskipun kebersihan dan sanitasi yang lebih baik telah membendung penyakit-penyakit tertentu daripada merebak, pendekatan terbaik untuk menjamin imuniti kelompok dalam komuniti adalah melalui vaksinasi yang konsisten pada paras yang tinggi untuk semua ahli dalam komuniti.

Pelbagai mitos yang tersebar menerusi golongan anti-vaksin telah menimbulkan ketakutan serta penolakan imunisasi dalam kalangan sesetengah ibu bapa

Image via themalaymailonline.com

Sekiranya tidak dibendung, masalah ini mungkin akan mendatangkan kesan-kesan yang lebih buruk daripada keadaan yang sedang kita saksikan hari ini.Oleh itu, mesej yang jelas lagi tepat adalah sangat penting untuk menyanggah tanggapan-tanggapan yang salah, di samping memastikan kita membuat keputusan berkaitan imunisasi berdasarkan maklumat dan bukannya emosi.

Suspek Bakar Tahfiz Pernah Kencing Atas Bendera, Lempar Najis, Dan Pukul Orang Sampai Mati

Tujuh suspek yang ditahan dalam kes kebakaran Tahfiz Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah didakwa pernah terlibat dalam beberapa kes tidak bermoral sebelum ini

Enam daripada tujuh suspek yang ditahan polis.

Berdasarkan maklumat yang diterima daripada penduduk, kumpulan remaja yang ditahan itu memang sudah lama membuat onar di kawasan setempat. Penduduk Datuk Keramat juga dikatakan sudah lama menahan rasa geram terhadap mereka.Perbuatan mereka selama ini telah banyak menimbulkan kemarahan penduduk termasuk mencalarkan kereta dan melempar najis.

Selain itu, salah seorang daripada mereka juga pernah kencing atas Jalur Gemilang bulan lalu dan dibelasah oleh penduduk

Maklumat ini disahkan oleh seorang suri rumah yang dikenali sebagai Mah, 60.Beliau berkata kumpulan remaja itu juga “pantang ditegur” atas pelbagai perbuatan jahat dan mereka akan membalasnya dengan mencalarkan kereta penduduk."Banyak perbuatan dilakukan budak jahat itu yang membuat orang ramai marah. Pantang ditegur mesti ada kereta penduduk calar."Malah, ada satu kejadian yang akan diingati penduduk iaitu sekumpulan remaja ini sanggup melempar najis ke kereta orang," katanya kepada Harian Metro.

Manakala Adnan, 57, bekas pengawal keselamatan Taman Tasik Datuk Keramat terpaksa berhenti kerja kerana tidak tahan dengan perangai buruk kumpulan remaja berkenaan

Image via bharian.com.my

Adnan berkata mereka sering berada di kawasan taman pada lewat malam sehingga jam 4 pagi untuk melakukan perkara tidak berfaedah."Apabila saya datang untuk mengusir mereka dari kawasan taman, mereka menyorok atau lari, selepas itu mereka muncul semula untuk menghisap gam atau ganja."Sudah banyak kali saya dipermainkan oleh mereka,” katanya.

Paling buruk, seorang suspek yang dikenali sebagai Mamat pernah terlibat dalam kes pukul sampai mati sebelum ini

Seorang lagi penduduk, Fairus, 32, berkata sebelum ini Mamat pernah memukul seorang remaja lain menggunakan kayu sehingga mati.Malah, pelajar tahfiz yang pernah mengambil gambar dan merakam video mereka menghisap ganja turut diugut supaya memadamnya."Mereka (pelajar) diugut supaya memadam gambar dan video itu, jika tidak mereka akan menerima nasib buruk sama seperti mangsa yang pernah dipukul oleh Mamat," ujar Fairus.

However, the woman simply shot back at the attendant saying, "Yeah I know, I [email protected]#king consoled the f$%king child", adding that her boyfriend is "the [email protected]#king problem."

The boyfriend, who was identified by his first name Memo, calmly agreed to leave the flight and the woman followed suit while she continued to swear at him.As Memo followed the crew, he could be heard saying, "You're assaulting me, you know," which angered the woman further who responded with, "I’ve known you for years, I’m assaulting you?!"She took out her laptop and immediately smashed it on her boyfriend's head while many passengers gasped in shock. A person in the video could be heard saying, "Ma'am you're going to be charged with assault," to which the woman responded, "Yeah, whatever," as she followed the man out of the aisle.

American Airlines has since responded to the incident. The company commended the crew for promptly handling the situation.

“Prior to departure from the gate on Sunday at Miami International Airport, two passengers who were travelling together were involved in a dispute. Law enforcement was requested, and both passengers were removed from the aircraft," an American Airlines spokesperson was saying as quoted by Independent. “We thank the American crew who worked quickly to diffuse the situation. Their actions resulted in a safe environment for all of our passengers," the spokesperson added. According to Unilad, Julia Scorupco confirmed that the woman has since been arrested.

The Questions That ASEAN Youths Failed To Ask Obama. Should We Be Worried?

NGOs are disappointed at the questions Asean youths posed to US President Barack Obama  during the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative Town Hall on 27 April 2014

Civil society groups who attended the town hall session with US President Barack Obama were disappointed that Asean youths dubbed "future leaders" did not take the golden opportunity to ask him questions on policy issues today.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Though more than 100 participants of the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) - an intiative launched by Obama last December - were present only eight questions were permitted.

        msn.com

The eight questions asked by youths from 10 Asean countries revolved around the 44th US President's happiness, regrets and legacy

"Hi, Mr. President.  I’m from Cambodia, and I went to Institute of Foreign Languages at the Royal University of Phnom Penh.  And I’ve got a very simple question for you.  What was your dream when you were in your 20s, and did you achieve it?  And if so, how did you achieve it?"

        whitehouse.gov

"To Mr. President, what would be your own key words or encouragement for each of us leaders of our next generation while we are cooperating with numerous diversities such as different races, languages, beliefs and cultures not only in Myanmar, but also across ASEAN?  Thank you."

        whitehouse.gov

"Good evening, Mr. President Obama.  I’m from Malaysia. I’m an undergrad from University of Malaya.  So my question is, in your position right now, what values that you uphold the most that you think is very important, that makes you what you are today?  And what do you wish to bring that value to the young people of today that can change the world to become a better world?  Thank you."

        whitehouse.gov

"Hi, President.  Very short question.  What are the things that you regret now that you have done in the past?"

        whitehouse.gov

"Well, okay, I have a very short question.  What does happiness mean for you?"

        whitehouse.gov

"Mr. President, thank you very much. We have a question from our friend in Singapore.  He asks, what is the legacy you wish to leave behind?"

Civil Society Groups felt the limited time could have been better spent with questions about pressing issues affecting Malaysia right now

Instead, they deemed questions such as "what happiness meant to the US president" and "what his greatest regrets were" as unnecessary, when instead queries should have been over US' foreign policy and transgressions of rule of law in Malaysia.

        themalaysianinsider.com

But the NGOs felt the limited time with Obama should have been better spent with questions about pressing issues affecting Malaysia now.

        msn.com

ISIS Malaysia assistant director of foreign policy and security studies Elina Noor hoped questions were more related to current affairs rather than broad-based and philosophical

ISIS Malaysia assistant director of foreign policy and security studies Elina Noor said that she had hoped the questions were more pointed and related to current affairs as opposed to being broad-based and philosophical.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"We would have wanted him to explain the elevation from bilateral relationship to partnership with Malaysia that was just announced in the press conference with the Malaysian prime minister, " Elina said.

Women's Aid Organisation advocacy officer Yu Ren Chung says there was a lack of questions about US policy and how it affects people in South East Asia

Women's Aid Organisation advocacy officer Yu Ren Chung also lamented the lack of questions about US policy and how it affects everyone else including people in Southeast Asia, especially on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and transparency issues.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Yu added, however, that there were some good "takeaways" from the session, when Obama mentioned that sexual orientation should not be discriminated against, and that people should not organise themselves politically by ethnicity and religion, but instead on ideas, the rule of law and democratic ideals.

        msn.com

Representatives from Pusat Komas say the youths should have seized the opportunity to ask Obama about human rights violations and growing voices of extremism

Lena Hendry of Pusat Komas, meanwhile, felt that the students should have taken the opportunity to ask the president about human rights in relations to transgressions happening in Malaysia currently.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Arul Prakkash from Pusat Komas said that participants should have seized the opportunity to apprise Obama about the growing voices of extremism in the country and the attack on minorities, especially non-Muslims.

        themalaysianinsider.com

He said that if given the chance to pose a question, he would have called on the US president to engage with Malaysia not only on an economic level, but to look into  human rights violations in the country.

        msn.com

Lawyers for Liberty representative Michelle Yesudas says there should have been more discussion about racism, religious politics and rule of law in Malaysia

Lawyers for Liberty representative Michelle Yesudas agreed with Hendry, saying that they were hoping for a more constructive platform to discuss issues related to racism, religious policies and rule of law that has been breached in Malaysia.

        msn.com

"If I had a chance to ask him a question, I would have told him that the rule of law was not being taken seriously in Malaysia, and sought his response to that," Yesudas said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Katrina Joseph Paul of Tenaganita, "This is a reflection of the failure to analyse, be critical and hold leaders accountable for issues affecting human rights."

Katrina Joseph Paul of Tenaganita also complained about the lack of questions on policy, adding that this raised serious concerns about the future generation of leaders from Asean countries who failed to ask pertinent questions.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"This is a reflection of the failure to analyse, be critical and hold leaders accountable for issues affecting human rights, including the fate of migrant workers for instance," she added.

However, Obama commended the participants and their questions before ending the town hall

"Let me just say this by way of thank you to all of you.  I think you’ve asked terrific questions.  I’m so impressed with all of you and what you have done and what you’ll do in the future.  I do want you to feel optimistic about your future," Barack Obama.

However, as she had extra time, she fuelled up and opened her Grab driver app.The first booking itself was near her house, from Brem Mall to Mutiara Apartment at Jalan Klang Lama. However, when she reached the pickup spot, there was no rider, who also didn't answer her call when she dialled his number.After a while, the rider appeared and asked her to wait for two of his friends.She then waited there pick up the rider and his friends, two Indonesian teenage boys, aged 15 and 17, and an Indonesian woman from a shopping complex in Kepong.

The drop destination was about 26 minutes according to Waze

However, 17 minutes before the drop, the Grab driver's vehicle was flagged by police, who asked her to stop. At which point, she got panicked.The policemen approached her vehicle and asked if she was a Grab driver, to which she replied yes. They then asked her permission to inspect the passengers.She agreed and as she waited in the car, the policemen came back to ask her where were the passengers headed. "Mutiara Apartment," she told the cops.The cops then showed her a knife. "Do you know what is this? This is a knife," the female Grab driver described the exchange between her and cops in her tweets.She was told that the passengers she was carrying were robbers, who often target e-hailing drivers. And the drop-off location is usually a remote area.

The cops then informed her that the passengers were looking to rob or possibly kill her, as they were not carrying any ID or money

Hearing this gave her shivers and her legs and hands went cold, she wrote on Twitter.The policemen asked her if she suspected anything or she knew the place well, to which she replied that she did not suspect anything and was driving by following Waze.She was then asked to come to the police station to give her statement.The three foreigners were arrested and taken to the police station in the police car.

Is Malaysia's Longest Serving Chief Minister Finally Stepping Down?

"TAHINAH" Taib Mahmud, Utusan Sarawak Says To The New Governor

Instead of saying 'Tahniah’ (congratulations), the advertisement had the word 'Tahinah' alongside a photo of Taib being sworn into his new post.
Image via Utusan Sarawak

It was meant to be a congratulatory message to Abdul Taib Mahmud on being appointed Sarawak governor on March 1. Unfortunately, a typo in the full-page advertisement in Sarawak daily Utusan Sarawak has put paid to that notion. Instead of saying 'Tahniah’ (congratulations), the advertisement had the word 'Tahinah' alongside a photo of Taib being sworn into his new post.

        malaysiakini.com

Worse, the advertisement was placed by Taib's own party, Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), which leads the state BN coalition. The advertisement was published on page 10 of yesterday's edition of the Malay daily, which was established in the mid-1990s.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Sarawak-based Malay daily Utusan Sarawak clarified that the spelling error in a congratulatory message to former chief minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud on his appointment as Governor was nothing more than “a typo error”. “There’s nothing unusual about it other than an inadvertent typographical error,” affirmed its editorial consultant William Chan. “It was an innocent human error with no hidden agenda whatsoever,” he added.

        thestar.com.my

It is believed that PBB prepared the artwork and proofread the advertisement before sending it to the paper for publication. “It's a PBB mistake but nonetheless we accepted responsibility (as the printer).”

        themalaysianinsider.com

“We only came to know that it was turned into a ‘national issue of sort’ when we saw it being played out by the online news portal,” he added. Chan said Utusan had explained the error to Hanifah and she accepted the explanation.

Several protests were held in Kuching this morning against Abdul Taib Mahmud becoming Sarawak's governor. Organised by civil society movements, the protests comprised small groups armed with banners and posters.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

KUCHING: Protes membantah pelantikan Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud sebagai Tuan Yang Terutama Yang Dipertua Negeri Sarawak tidak mendapat sambutan.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Menurut sumber, protes yang diadakan  berlangsung di Kompleks Mahkamah Lama Kuching. Walaupun tidak berlaku di tempat yang dirancang, penganjur melakukannya secara ‘flashmob’.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Meanwhile, Borneo Resources Institute Malaysia (Brimas) denied being involved in organising tomorrow’s rally. As for Taib’s appointment, Bujang said Brimas would submit a petition to the Yang di -Pertuan Agong based on the reports accusing the veteran politician of alleged corrupt practices. "We believe the king would examine the reports and with his good judgement, revoke the appointment of Taib as head of state. "It is fundamental that a head of state be cleared of any allegation of corruption and abuse of power," he added.

In a bid to scupper outgoing Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud’s chance of being named Sarawak’s next governor, a group of Sarawakians handed today a formal protest letter to the National Palace seeking the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong’s royal intervention.

        themalaymailonline.com

Sarawak PKR deputy chief Zulrusdi Mohamad Hol who led the six-man group, told The Malay Mail Online that their letter was received amicably by a representative from the Conference of Rulers and a palace official. “Our memorandum was accepted by Datuk Sabtu Awab, the assistant secretary to the Council of Rulers,” said Zulrusdi.

        yahoo.com

“He promised to deliver the memorandum to His Royal Highness,” he added, referring to the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Abdul Halim. This is not the first initiative by Sarawakians seeking to prevent Taib’s likely promotion to the state governorship.

        themalaymailonline.com

The group comprised Zulrusdi, the party’s state youth chief Ahmad Najib Johari, state PKR executive member Iswardy Morni and three non-partisan Sarawakians had also visited the office of the Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal here this afternoon.

17 Feb: Taib Mahmud As Governor Will Be A "National Disaster", More Than 50 NGOs Say In Online Petition

More than 50 NGOs, including Bersih Sibu and Suaram, and the youth wings of DAP, PAS and PKR are firmly against Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud being appointed as the next Yang Di-Pertua of Sarawak, saying it would be a "national disaster" if the current chief minister becomes the next governor. The NGOs opposed to Taib's appointment as Sarawak governor include Bersih Sibu, Save Malaysia Stop Lynas, Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia, Suaram and Solidarity Anak Muda Malaysia, while the political party wings are DAP Socialist Youth, Keadilan Youth Movement, PAS Youth.

        themalaysianinsider.com

This civil society group, launching an online petition to show thumbs down against the purported appointment, said Taib was guilty of corruption and exploitation during his 33 years in office. "He had exploited the natural resources of Sarawak excessively for his personal gain," the NGOs said. "Sarawak was said to have one of the highest forest clearing figures in Asia, with more than 90% of the forest lost to logging."

        msn.com

The NGOs pointed out that Taib's administration had also embarked on mega-dam construction projects which were illogical economically and affected the natural environment in the state.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"The irony is that Sarawak remains one of the poorest states in Malaysia, despite being rich in various natural resources," said the NGOs, adding that while Sarawak remained poor, Taib has become one of the richest men in Malaysia.

        msn.com

The group pointed out that the position of Sarawak governor should be a symbol of unity for the people from all levels of the community. "It is clear that Taib, having inflicted so much misery and suffering on the people of Sarawak, is not qualified for this position," the NGOs said. There are also concerns that Taib intends to begin a political dynasty in Sarawak to strengthen and tighten his grip on the state in the years to come.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The NGOs noted that the incoming chief minister, Tan Sri Adenan Satem, is Taib's former brother-in-law who is bound to protect him against any investigation or prosecution for wrong-doing during the latter's time in office.

13 Feb: Sarawak CM Taib Mahmud's Chosen Successor Is Not Someone Putrajaya Would Be Happy With

Outgoing Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud (right) with his successor Tan Sri Adenan Satem.

Seen as a snub to Putrajaya, new Sarawak chief minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem is a man from the same mould as the man who picked him – his predecessor Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud – say analysts.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“It is a well-known fact that Putrajaya wanted to see Datuk Abang Johari Tun Openg as the next Sarawak chief minister. Ideally, he would have been the right choice because of his strong relationship with federal leaders. He's also deemed to be clean and not a controversial figure, like Taib.
“But when Putrajaya started pressuring Taib to step down, the chief minister, being the strong leader he is, did not take it lying down," the academic said, adding that "he started dictating terms to Putrajaya on when he would step down and who would succeed him".

        themalaysianinsider.com

The analysts said the widely experienced Adenan can also hold his own against Putrajaya as Taib, who will step down as chief minister on February 28, only to become the Sarawak governor the same day and still hold the state's reins. “Now, Putrajaya will have to deal with a man in the mould of Taib. Like Taib, Adenan could develop a working relationship with them but he would not be subservient to them. He has what it takes to stand up to Putrajaya," analyst Dr Mohd Faisal Syam Abdol Hazis.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Professor Dr James Chin from the Institute of South East Asian Studies (ISEAS) in Singapore agreed that Adenan was the best man for the job. “His heart problem does not make him an ideal choice. But if it is for an interim period, to take Barisan Nasional to the state elections, he is the best man for the job,” said Chin, who hails from Sarawak.

KUCHING: Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud has announced that his successor is to be Tan Sri Adenan Satem, after he announced that he has handed over his resignation letter dated Feb 28 to Sarawak Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Abang Muhammad Salahuddin.

        thestar.com.my

“Adenan represents a kind of agreement between the three candidates (mentioned to succeed Taib as the chief minister,” Taib said. Taib said the selection of Adenan, who is also the assemblyman for Tanjung Datu, as his successor was also to make sure that the State Barisan Nasional
(BN) would continue to keep the team spirit that had been thriving among them over the last few years.

        themalaymailonline.com

However, Taib will leave it to Adenan's discretion on whether to vacate the Balingian seat that would trigger a by-election.

        nst.com.my

He said that he was not sad to leave even after so many years at the helm as he believed that he was leaving the task of governing the State under good and experienced hands who could do their jobs well without him. In a joking tone, he said the only sad thing for him would be the pressure of the work as a chief minister. “I’m so used to working under pressure all the time so maybe I’m going to miss that. I’ve got to learn not to drive (at a) sports car’s speed... but a more sedan speed. It is more consistent to my age,” he
said.

Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud today confirmed his retirement end of this month, for the first time putting a date on the end of his 50-year political career.
However, he said he would not name his successor tomorrow as speculated, as he needed to seek an audience with head of state Tun Abang Muhammad Salahuddin Barieng first.

        fz.com

While confirming that he will step down this month, Taib gave no dates. What he did tell reporters was that he preferred to do things “properly”. “You will see. I like to do things in proper sequence, yes? I need to see the governor first,” he said after meeting state Barisan National assemblymen and MPs here yesterday.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

The Sarawak chief minister will meet Yang DiPertua Negeri (TYT) Tun Abang Muhammad Salahuddin Abang Barieng in the next “two or three days” when the TYT returns from his statewide Chinese New Year visit.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Taib, 78, said he would tender his resignation and also submit the name of his successor at the meeting when answering reporters’ questions after chairing the state Barisan Nasional supreme council meeting where, as expected, he was given the mandate to pick his successor.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Asked whether he would step down by the end of this month, Taib replied: "Yeah...I think so...so that I get a full salary for February."

Taib Mahmud's Sudden Resignation As Balingian MP Will Pave The Way For Another By-Election

Sarawak Barisan Nasional (BN) parties unanimously accepted today Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud’s decision to quit by month-end, paving the way for a by-election in the Balingian state seat he currently occupies.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Taib, who is Balingian assemblyman since 2001, needs to resign as an elected representative soon if he is to be made the next state of head. Any resignation before June 20 will result in a by-election.

        thestar.com.my

Sarawak Election Commission director Datuk Takun Sunggah said that under the state’s constitution, there would be no by-election if there was any casual vacancy within two years from the expiry of the State Legislative Assembly.
“The Sarawak assembly will expire on June 20, 2016. So the two-year period begins on June 21, 2014.
“If anyone resigns before June 20, there will be a by-election,” he told The Star via SMS.

        thestar.com.my

With the current Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Muhammad Salahuddin’s term expiring on Feb 28, Taib is expected to take the oath as the next governor on March 1.

Taib Mahmud's Advice To His Successor: Protect Sarawak From UMNO

Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud is leaving his post as chief minister with one advice to his successor – that whoever succeeds him must strive to keep Umno and its brand of racially divisive politics out of the state.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Taib's remarks to the Barisan Nasional (BN) supreme council meeting yesterday made it clear that his successor “should stand tough and be unflinching” when dealing with Putrajaya on issues concerning Sarawak's interests.

        yahoo.com

Sarawak BN secretary-general Datuk Dr Stephen Rundi said Taib told yesterday’s meeting that his successor has to vigorously protect the state's rights as spelled out in the Malaysia Agreement of 1963.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Rundi said standing up to Putrajaya included stopping Umno from coming to the state, which is widely seen as undermining the 20-point agreement which protects the interests and rights of Sabah and its people when the territory agreed to form Malaysia with Malaya, Sarawak and Singapore. Sabah has a 20-point agreement while Sarawak has a 18-point agreement for the formation of Malaysia.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“In Sarawak, we tread a very thin line as we have to feel the sensitivity of the people from the various ethnic groups. There are over 40 ethnic groups in the state.
“Therefore, nobody else can understand this situation better than Sarawakians,” Wilfred Nisson, Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) secretary-general.

After continual speculation on his future over the past few years, Sarawak strongman Tan Sri Taib Mahmud looks set to finally step down as Chief Minister and seems poised to take over as the Yang di-Pertua Negeri.

        thestar.com.my

Many in the political and media circles became certain of his intention to quit as Chief Minister after the announcement that the term for the Head of State Tun Muhammad Salahuddin would be extended from Dec 5, 2013 to only Feb 28 this year. While some politicians are sure that Taib will bow out as the head of government to become the Tuan Yang Terutama, others say “it will not happen so soon”.

A son of Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, who is implicated in a multi-million ringgit divorce settlement with his former wife, holds assets worth RM976mil to RM1.39bil, a Syariah Court here heard.

Certified accountant Andrew Heng, 39, said he took into consideration two assets owned by Datuk Seri Mahmud Abu Bekir Abdul Taib Mahmud, which were an Audi car and the businessman’s stake in the Titanium Tower property at Brighton Square, Kuching.

        thestar.com.my

“The figures are based on five components, which include the inheritance from Mahmud Abu Bekir’s late mother, oil palm land, shares in the 49 companies and, now, the Audi vehicle owned by Ivy Crafts Sdn Bhd, where he has 50% stake, and the Titanium Tower,” Heng said.

“The figures are now between RM976mil and RM1.39bil after taking into consideration the two assets,” said Heng, who was appointed by Shahnaz Abdul Majid, 50, to look into her former husband’s assets and values of his shareholdings in 49 companies in Malaysia.

Speculations Of Taib Mahmud Resigning This Month Has Been Rife After Reports Of The State's Assistant Youth Development Minister Saying "It Is Definitely Within This Term"

Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud is expected to step down this month, after the Borneo Post reported the state assistant youth development minister as saying “it could be any time but it is definitely within this term”.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah also hinted that the announcement would be made at the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) meeting in Kuching this weekend. (Taib is PBB president.)

        themalaysianinsider.com

“There must be something important the chief minister wants to relay,” he was quoted as saying. Karim said as much as he would like Taib to carry on, “age is catching up”.

        yahoo.com

Sources Say Taib Mahmud Will Have A Meeting With All Members of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu’s (PBB) Supreme Council on 8 February 2014 And With BN Members The Next Day

Taib, 77, who has been holding the chief minister’s post for 33 years, is scheduled to meet all the members of the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu’s (PBB) Supreme Council on Saturday (February 8) and all the elected state Barisan Nasional (BN) members of parliament and state assemblymen on Sunday (February 9).

        malaysia-chronicle.com

“Yes, there will be meetings on February 8 and February 9 but I can’t reveal more than that. Please wait until the day itself (to find out),” a senior party leader told Bernama when contacted.

Some Of The Potential Candidates To Take Over Taib Mahmud's Position Includes:

The party insider explained that should Taib make his announcement to step aside, by procedure, “a caucus” headed by Deputy President 1 Tan Sri Alfred Jabu would likely be tasked to work out the transition plan as Taib would be leaving for an overseas trip afterwards.

        themalaymailonline.com

There are several talks on who is likely to become Taib’s successor. The first version is that State Housing and Tourism Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg, who is also PBB Deputy President 2 would take over the state leadership.

        themalaymailonline.com

Another speculation is that former federal Natural Resources Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem, who has been brought back to the state Cabinet after the 2011 state election would become the next chief minister.

        themalaymailonline.com

Former federal government minister Datuk Effendi Norwawi, 66, is another potential candidate.

        yahoo.com

In 2011, Taib Mahmud Hinted During The State Elections That This May Be His Last Term

Taib, 78, had indicated during the 2011 state elections that this may be his last term. The mandate of the state government ends in 2016.

        themalaysianinsider.com

In April 2011, Taib announced that he would retire in “two or three” years’ time, and that he might leave “mid-term”, without mentioning any specific dates.
Taib, who is also the state BN chairman, on several occasions has said he had already prepared and groomed an able leader to lead PBB and the state.

However, Chief Political Secretary to the Chief Minister Abdullah Saidol Has Denied These Rumours

However, the Chief Political Secretary to the Chief Minister, Abdullah Saidol, has recently denied such talk, saying that there was no truth to the conjecture.
Instead, he said the news was just a speculation played up in the social media as Taib himself had never made any announcement about it.

        themalaymailonline.com

“Let the chief minister decide when he wants to step down. And as president of PBB, he will consult with others in the party before making such a big decision,” Saidol was quoted as saying by local publication the Sarawak Daily, late last month.

78-Year-Old Taib Mahmud Assumed Office On 26 March 1981

The 78-year-old, who assumed office 33 years ago on March 26, 1981, is a controversial figure and often accused of having enriched his family and relatives by awarding them lucrative state contracts.

        themalaysianinsider.com

According to a series of leaked United States embassy cables published by WikiLeaks in August 2011, the US described him in one of the cables as "highly corrupt" and “Taib with his relatives were widely thought to have extracted a percentage from most major commercial contracts – including those for logging – awarded in the state (Sarawak)".

Disangkakan hanya berenam, rupa-rupanya ada lebih

Aainaa yang pada ketika itu sedang meng-edit gambar-gambar yang diambil pada acara tersebut tiba-tiba menemui beberapa kelibat yang menakutkan.Kelibat tersebut dilihat seperti wajah bertopeng putih yang sedang "bergambar" sekali dengan mereka berenam di dalam bilik hotel.

"Rasa menggigil macam nak nangis"

Bercakap kepada SAYS, Aainaa menyifatkan pengalaman itu sebagai yang paling menyeramkan dalam hidupnya. Dia juga hampir menangis apabila kelibat tersebut muncul dalam hampir kesemua gambar mereka selepas di-edit."Mula-mula edit satu gambar, ada dua kelibat muncul. Menggigil tangan saya masa tu. Bila saya tukar kepada gambar lain. keluar pula tiga kelibat. Ada juga yang sampai empat. Saya hampir menangis sebab terlalu takut," kata Aainaa.

Apabila ditanya tentang kejadian aneh lain yang terjadi sepanjang berada di sana, Aainaa berkata mereka tidak mengalami apa-apa gangguan. Cuma...

Namun dia tidak pula memberitahu kami."Selepas kelibat ini muncul dalam gambar yang saya edit, barulah dia membuka cerita. Menurutnya juga, dia mengalami sakit kepala pada pagi hari berikutnya," jelas Aainaa lagi.

Post-GE13: BN Would Have Lost Without Advance & Postal Votes

Merdeka Centre says BN would have lost without postal and advance votes

Merdeka Centre said that after stripping and analysing the data, it concluded that BN could have lost as many as 30 parliamentary seats if it did not win the postal/advance votes.

Merdeka Centre says BN would have lost without postal and advance votes

These votes alone gave BN victory in 22 parliamentary seats, which made all the difference. Without those 22 seats, BN would have tied with opposition Pakatan Rakyat at 111 seats.

        malaysia-today.net

Without those key postal and advanced votes, MIC would be without the two Cabinet ministers Datuk Seri S Subramaniam  (Segamat) and Datuk Seri G. Palanivel (Cameron Highlands).

        themalaysianinsider.com

Merdeka Center concluded that "the implication of advance and postal voting on this election will certainly figure strongly as civil society and the opposition continue to pressure the EC for further reforms of the electoral process."

        malaysia-today.net

This finding will cause heartache for Opposition politicians who have been campaigning for the past few years for the abolishment of postal voters, arguing that it provides opportunities for fraud.

Election court dismisses petitions

The Election Court here today dismissed petitions by Pakatan Rakyat to challenge the results of a parliamentary seat and two state seats which were won by Barisan Nasional (BN) in the 13th General Election.

        nst.com.my

The Election Court here today upheld Barisan Nasional’s (BN) victories in Ketereh (Parliament), Air Lanas state seat and Kok Lanas state seat after rejecting petitions filed by PKR and PAS.

        abnxcess.com

At the same court, O'hara also rejected BN's petitions against two Pas state seats - Mengkebang and Manik Urai and ordered the petitioners to pay RM60,000 in costs.

        nst.com.my

The Election Court here today dismissed with costs, two petitions by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) GE13 candidates and affirmed the Barisan Nasional (BN)’s victories in the Balik Pulau parliamentary and Teluk Bahang state constituencies.

        abnxcess.com

The judge said he dismissed the petitions because the petitioners, among others, failed to comply with the provisions under the Election Petition Rules 1954.

        thesundaily.my

In regard to Balik Pulau, Hadhariah ordered Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik to pay RM40,000 costs while for Teluk Bahang, the court ordered Datuk Abdul Halim Hussain to pay RM10,000 costs.

        bernama.com.my

Judge Datuk John Louis O'hara also ordered the petitioners to pay a total of RM200,000 in cost to all the respondents including to Air Lanas assemblyman Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.

Pakatan Rakyat says High Court, dismiss all GE13 results

Pakatan Rakyat today went for the jugular – asking the High Court to set aside results of all 222 parliamentary seats in GE13, disband the discredited Election Commission and order fresh polls.

        yahoo.com

Pakatan Rakyat says High Court, dismiss all GE13 results.
Image via thechoice.my

This unprecedented move, probably the first in any Commonwealth country, was made necessary because the indelible ink fiasco caused massive cheating, destroyed the integrity of GE13, and deprived the opposition pact of a legitimate opportunity said Pakatan Rakyat.

        anwaribrahimblog.com

“Therefore even if a small percentage of dishonest voters were able to wrongfully vote more than once because of the deliberate failure of the EC to implement indelible ink, they were sufficient to affect the results in a significant number of seats,” said the opposition in a statement of claim.

        yahoo.com

In addition to wanting the High Court to nullify GE13 and call for fresh elections, it also sought that until the results of a fresh general election are known, the Federal Government shall remain in office as a caretaker government.

Bersih says 'People's Tribunal' will be a moral force to investigate electoral fraud

Bersih 2.0’s “People’s Tribunal” may not have any legal standing but will serve as a “moral force” to investigate allegations of electoral fraud, said Datuk Ambiga Sreenavasan when defending the polls watchdog’s final attempt at proving wrongdoing in the May 5 polls.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“It is true that it is not set up under any law or statute. That is why it is called the People’s Tribunal,” she said.
“It will be an evidence-gathering tribunal and what we have is the moral force to examine the allegations. That is its main aim — to gather evidence,” she added.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Ambiga said the tribunal will be presided over by a five-member panel, which will include individuals of repute and who will not be members of any political parties or even from Bersih 2.0 itself.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Bersih 2.0 will soldier on with its plan to set up the tribunal which, she said, should be announced in two or three weeks’ time, despite earning condemnation from polls regulator Election Commission (EC).

        yahoo.com

“For Bersih... our role is just to facilitate the setting up of the tribunal. Further to that, we will not get involved. It must be completely independent,” she added.

Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s BN survived a hard-fought polls battle in face of “Chinese tsunami” yesterday, but rival Anwar Ibrahim has vowed to fight the result following allegations of widespread fraud.

        yahoo.com

As at 12:50am this morning, BN retained federal power with a simple majority, scoring 112 seats to PR’s 58.

        malaysiandigest.com

The ruling Barisan Nasional coalition led by Najib Razak got well past the threshold of 112 seats for a simple majority in parliament, standing on 132 as final returns continued to trickle in.

        msn.com

But Najib became the first leader of the regime, which has controlled Malaysia since independence in 1957, to win with a minority of the popular vote.

        msn.com

"Najib is secure for at least another term," said James Chin, a research fellow with Singapore's Institute of Southeast Asian Studies.

Najib says he is satisfied with the election results

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak expressed satisfaction on the running of the general election and felt that there was no reason for anyone to doubt Malaysia's democratic process.

        thestar.com.my

Datuk Seri Najib Razak today recorded his appreciation to the voters and all Malaysians for returning the Barisan Nasional to power at the national level.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Najib urged Malaysians and leaders in the federal opposition to accept tonight’s results “with an open heart”, and warned against any street demonstrations to protest the outcome.

        malaysiandigest.com

“I am satisfied with the process and the credibility of this elections. There are also local and international observers. I am also confident Malaysians will accept the results,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

The BN chairman admitted it had not expected the wholesale abandonment by the Chinese community, which he blamed on the Pakatan Rakyat’s alleged play on racial sentiments.

        yahoo.com

“I expected it but I did not expect it to this extent. None of us expected it to this extent. But despite the extent of the swing against us, BN did not fall,” he added.

        yahoo.com

He also criticised the opposition for making unfounded allegations including accusing the BN of importing Bangladesh nationals as voters, describing it as a malicious act.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Anwar says he does not accept the GE13 results

Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he will not accept the Election 2013 result, accusing the Elections Commission (EC) of rigging the polls to give Barisan Nasional (BN) victory.

        yahoo.com

Opposition leader said that Pakatan Rakyat will not accept the results of the polls until the Election Commission explains the alleged instances of fraudulent electorate process.

        malaysiandigest.com

PKR de facto leader said Pakatan Rakyat will not recognise the legitimacy of the outcome, claiming that several hotly-contested seats were marred by allegations of widespread fraud.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“As of now we are not accepting the results,” the visibly upset Anwar told a press conference packed with supporters, local and international pressmen.

        yahoo.com

“Many of the seats they have announced, we are contesting (the results) and they have not responded to our allegations,” he said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"It is an election that we consider fraudulent and the EC (Election Commission) has failed," an exhausted-looking Anwar told reporters.

TM Officially Unveils "Basic" Unifi Plan For RM79 Per Month. Here Are The Details

TM has officially unveiled a new budget Unifi plan today, 12 July, following the company's hint of a cheaper broadband package last week

Image via Nikkei Asian Review

Keeping true to promise, the plan, aptly named "Unifi Basic", is priced at RM79 per month for 30Mbps speed and 60GB quota, Lowyat.net said.

The plan is stand-alone, meaning it doesn't come with add-ons like Unifi TV or a phone

Image via Beetify

Subscribers looking to extend the 60GB quota can do so by making additional data purchases. In comparison, the price of this plan is more than 50% lower than the current 30Mbps Unifi Home Plan, currently priced at RM179.

In line with Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo's plan to bring down broadband prices and make Internet access more affordable for the masses, the plan will be available exclusively for households with income of RM4,500 and below

Image via Yusof Mat Isa/Malay Mail Online

The plan is reportedly only available through Unifi's official website, with pre-orders starting on 15 July 2018 before it is available to the public on 15 August 2018.

That's not all. Existing Unifi customers will be upgraded to faster, newer plans with speeds up to 800Mbps.

Under the "Unifi Turbo" scheme, customers can expect upgrades, depending on their current plans:- 20Mbps and below: bump up to 100Mbps- 30Mbps: bump up to 300Mbps- 50Mbps: bump up to 500Mbps- 100Mbps: bump up to to 800MbpsAccording to SoyaCincau, the upgrades are expected to be rolled out from 15 August 2018.
