12 Ways To Keep Your Kids Cool (And Less Cranky!) During A Heatwave

The recent heat spell and haze has been quite overwhelming. It's important to note that young children - especially babies - are more prone to overheating compared to adults!

Infants exposed to hot conditions can be vulnerable to a painful and damaging sunburn or heatstroke, which has been linked to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), a fatal sleeping disorder.

"Babies sleep deeply when they're hot, making them difficult to arouse, which may increase the risk of SIDS," explains Bruce Epstein, M.D., a pediatrician in Pinellas Park, Florida.

With that said, it can be tricky to keep the young ones safe and comfortable in extreme heat. Here are some things to take note of to help them cool down:

1. Dress them in loose-fitting and lightweight clothing, preferably made from cotton and in light colours

If you're staying indoors, dress your infant or young children in light, loose clothing such as a singlet or loose top with shorts. Avoid synthetic fabrics such as polyester as they trap heat and can be very uncomfortable for your kids and may even cause prickly heat rashes. Instead, opt for natural fibers like cotton, which absorbs perspiration much better. If you're going outdoors, make sure to cover as much skin as possible to prevent exposure to harmful UV rays. Put them in a loose, light-coloured long pants and long-sleeved top along with a wide-brimmed hat to shield their face. Avoid hats with elastic support as they may constrict blood circulation.

2. If your infant is wearing disposable nappies, keep them in a cool environment and dress them appropriately to prevent heat rashes

Diapers are much more convenient to use, but they will definitely keep your baby much warmer than cotton cloth nappies. The synthetic band of a diaper may give your baby a heat rash, especially since sweat tends to collect in that general area.Get best deals and discounts using iprice coupons when you shop online for your kids and family.

3. Limit the use of talcum powder after bathing your children

Contrary to popular belief, using talcum powder on your infants or young children could sooner cause irritation and discomfort instead of keeping them cool. Powder on wet skin can cake up, so limit its use, especially near the nappy and neck. Additionally, using prickly heat powder e.g. Snake Brand Cooling Powder may irritate their skin even more. If you still want to use it on your kids' bodies, use it sparingly and rub it in well, making sure they don't breathe in.

4. Use massage oils, lotions, and creams with care

Massage oils can trap heat and potentially give your child a heat rash or irritate their skin if it's not washed off properly. Alternatively, give them a dry massage or try cooling oils such as olive oil and coconut oil instead, but make sure to wash it all off during bath time.Lotions and creams could also irritate their skin, but do put on sunscreen (as recommended by your doctor) to protect your infant's gentle skin from the sun's rays.

5. Look out for prickly heat rashes on parts of the skin that stay moist, like under the chin, nape of the neck, skin folds, and nappy area

Image via Baby Safety Concerns

Prickly heat rashes are small, raised red spots that cause an itchy, stinging, and/or prickling sensation on the skin. It can be very uncomfortable for babies and young children, who are more at risk of getting these rashes because their sweat gland are not fully developed yet. Creams that prevent and treat nappy rash, such as Drapolene Cream, can be used on prickly heat rash prone areas to protect the skin. Changing your child's clothes often and giving them tepid baths can also help.

6. Keep your child hydrated throughout the day, even if they do not express discomfort

Image via WebMD

This goes without saying, but make sure your child is getting regular fluids throughout the day, especially before and after rigorous activity e.g. playtime. Avoid giving them sugary or fizzy drinks, but you can give them fresh fruit juices, infused fruit water, or let them suck on frozen fruit pieces if they ever get bored of plain ol' water. If you have a baby younger than six month and you are breastfeeding exclusively, you do not have to give them water as they get enough liquid from your breastmilk. Note that they may want to feed more frequently than usual during the hot weather. You can also give them cooled boiled water in between feeds if they seem thirsty.

7. Pay attention to ventilation and air circulation, especially in the room where your child is sleeping in

Image via The Asian Parent

Put your child in the coolest room in the house. Keep curtains and blinds closed during the day day to prevent the sun from heating up the room. You can hang wet towels over chairs or windows if it's stifling, as evaporating air from the wet materials will help the air to cool. Before putting your child to bed, turn on the fan or AC so that the room is nice and cold by the time you're preparing them for bed. Make sure air can circulate around the bed or cot, keeping in mind that the fan or cool air should not blow directly into your child's face. Things to avoid include thick padding and lining, pillows and mattresses your child can sink into, and waterproof sheets, as they can trap heat and potentially cause heat rashes. If you have to use waterproof sheets, line them with some cotton sheets and absorb perspiration. Additional notes for babies: Try not to cover them with a thick blanket and opt for a single-layered cotton nappy or a well-secured sheet that won't work loose and cover their face or get entangled during the night. Keep bedclothes to a minimum. You can also use a nursery thermometer to monitor temperature; babies sleep most comfortably between 20°C to 26°C.

8. Use fans and air conditioning with caution

As mentioned above, make sure to keep your child away from direct cold air flow. Fans and AC should be used to facilitate air flow in the room, so try to maintain the temperature between 24°C to 26°C. Also, avoid taking your infant to an air-conditioned room right after a bath, as they could quickly catch a cold if they are not well-protected from the chill. Switch on the AC only after your child is fully-clothed and their hair is dry. Make sure to dress them in thicker clothing if you plan to keep them in an air-conditioned room all day. It is also not advisable to take your baby into warmer areas right after he has been in an air-conditioned room. Switch on the AC first and let them adjust to the warmth beforehand.

9. Bathe your child in lukewarm water and sponge them down regularly with lukewarm water. Alternatively, you can also let them cool off with some water play!

Image via TalkMum

Babies and toddlers love to splash around, so you can put them in their bathtub or a small inflatable baby pool with a little water and some bath toys. Make sure to supervise them at all times (babies can drown even if it's just a few inches of water) and keep them in the shade if you're using a pool.

10. It is best to stay indoors during the hottest hours of the day i.e. between 10.00am to 2.00pm. If you absolutely have to go out, seek out shade whenever you can!

Instead, take your child out early in the morning or late in the evening when the sun is not out in full force. If you really need to step out in the afternoon, ensure that your baby and young children are well protected. Besides arming them with well-covered clothing and a sun hat to protect their gentle skin from the sun, you can also attach a parasol or sunshade to the pram or carrier to keep them out of direct sunlight and apply high factor sunscreen made especially for babies and children.

11. Use a hot weather-friendly carrier and/or stroller

Image via Mamapanda

The combination of your body heat and the carrier's confining space can make an infant hot and bothered within a matter of minutes. Choose a carrier made from lightweight nylon rather than a heavy fabric like denim. If a child's face starts to look flushed, remove her from the carrier at once.

        parents.com

Remove any excess padding from the pram as it can get very hot inside. Alternatively, you can place a cotton sheet in the pram as lying on cotton will be less hot than on the pram's synthetic covering. If your child falls asleep in the pram, keep an eye on them as prams can become hot and airless.

12. Be extra careful when travelling with an infant or young children in a car. Most importantly, never leave them unsupervised, even if the air-conditioning is on!

Image via Franciscan Alliance

Temperatures inside a parked car can rise very, very quickly even when the windows are open, and babies can still get stressed from the heat even if the air-conditioning is on. Overheating can lead to heatstroke, which can be fatal to children and especially babies, so don't leave them behind!Try to travel by car in the coolest part of the day (early morning) and keep the car cool using air-conditioner or opening the windows. Make sure the sun is not shining on your child throughout the journey, as the ray could burn their skin even through the windows. Don't cover their car seat/capsule with a towel to shade them from the sun as it will restrict air movement around them, making them feel hotter. Additionally, only use car seats as a place of sleep in the car, not at home. Once you are indoors, put your infant into their cot.

In this extreme hot weather, your comfort is important too!

A Private Hospital In KL Charged A Patient More Than RM200 For 18 Masks Worn By Its Nurses

A father has filed a complaint against a private hospital in Kuala Lumpur alleging that he was charged more than RM200 for 18 pieces of three-ply masks worn by the nurses who were treating his daughter

In the complaint, that has been seen by SAYS, the patient alleges that he was charged RM201.60 for 18 masks that were used by the private hospital's staff while treating his four-year-old daughter.At RM201.60 for 18 three-ply masks, a single mask at the private hospital was charged at RM11.20, compared to the maximum price of RM1.50 per piece.The private hospital was allegedly overcharging by RM9.70 for each piece of the mask worn by its nurses to treat the complainant's daughter, who was admitted for COVID-19.The four-year-old patient tested negative for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

According to the father, while masks are an essential item for the hospital's staff to wear, especially amidst the pandemic, the fact that it charged a patient for the items used by its staff was shameful

The father said that after his complaint, the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP) called him to be present at its Putrajaya headquarters on Monday, 11 May.Following which, an investigation report was initiated by the ministry on 12 May, the father added.Two days later, the father lodged a complaint with the Ministry of Health's (MOH) Private Medical Practice Control Section (CKAPS) for the private hospital's "breach of integrity and professionalism".

Now the private hospital is under investigation for profiteering

In a statement issued on Friday, 15 May, KPDNHEP said that it is investigating the private hospital for profiteering. The ministry did not name the hospital in the statement that was posted publicly.According to the ministry's Enforcement director Iskandar Halim Sulaiman, they carried out checks that showed that the face masks were sold at a very high price of RM11.20 each."Several documents on the transaction, including the face masks, were confiscated. This case will be investigated under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 for the offence of selling or offering a price-controlled item for more than the set maximum price," the Enforcement director said."The private hospital will also be probed under Section 14 of the same Act for profiteering."

Stressing that the ministry is serious in ensuring that the masks are easily available at the set maximum price, Iskandar urged the public to report any suspicious activity related to price gouging or profiteering.You can report through KPDNHEP's Enforcement Command Centre (ECC) website.

UPDATE (22 May)
The hospital has now been fined for profiteering:

                A Private Hospital In KL Has Been Fined RM200,000 For Profiteering Off 3-Ply Masks

Two More In Sabah Kidnapped From Their Sleep

Maritime Security Chief Believes Latest Sabah Kidnapping To Be An Inside Job

Maritime Security Chief Believes Latest Sabah Kidnapping Is An Inside Job
Image via antarapos.com

Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) director-general Datuk Mohammad Mentek believed the abduction of a fish breeder and a worker at a fish in cages breeding centre in Kampung Sapang Air in Kunak yesterday was the work on an "inside man".

        yahoo.com

This, he said, was based on the findings that the criminals knew the area very well. "It is an isolated area, surrounded by islands. Only those who had been at the place for a long time would know the condition at the centre," he told reporters today.

        themalaysianinsider.com

He said soon after being informed of the abduction case, Esscom ordered several assets to be sent to places identified as exit routes for the suspects involved. "But, the suspects could have used alternatives routes that they were able to escape, and believed to be in a neighbouring country now," he added.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Mohammad said preliminary investigation also revealed that the modus operandi of yesterday's abduction was similar to the one which happened at Pulau Baik, Lahad Datu, last May 6.
"Both groups used the workers to look for the owners and how they (abductors) entered and left the fish breeding centres was similar," he added.

“Shocked, I ran into the bedroom and they tried to breakdown the door. I heard my husband telling them not to disturb me and that he will follow them. On hearing this, the abductors fled,” she said when met at a fish farm in Kunak today." The abductors who fled with her husband and a worker also stole several items including a television set and a boat engine.

        malaysiakini.com

Police have launched a hunt for the Filipino gunmen and their two victims as the east coast of Sabah reeled over a third kidnapping within three months. Sabah CID chief Sr Asst Comm Omar Mammah said they were unable to verify if the Filipino victim identified as Maslan had managed to escape from the abductors.

        thestar.com.my

"We have got no information on it and we believe he is still being held by the abductors,’’ he said at the press conference here on Monday following the 12.45am kidnapping of Maslan and his fish farm operator Chan Sai Chiun, 32, at Kampung Sapang in Kunak about 60km from here. Omar said that they believe the gunmen had fled across the border to southern Philippines with the hostages though mopping up operations were being done by security forces in the area.

In the three-minute-and-27-second video, Mahathir said the Malays cannot rely on the Malay rulers to protect them."You expect the rajas to protect the Malays? No way. They don't realise what they are doing (selling land) which could lead them to lose their royal status. But, before that happens, they enjoy," he said, referring to the Malay rulers selling land to Chinese businesspeople at prices higher than the Malays could afford. "Malay dignitaries used to gamble with the Chinese. They were happy with the Chinese [...] because this was their bribe. This was their upfront money."So, don't expect your rajas to protect you. Please remember," the 97-year-old said, to the sound of a few individuals clapping.

Mahathir made controversial statements against the royal institution during a private function.

"I have no respect for them (Malay rulers)," said the nonagenarian, who recently teamed up with Bersatu for his 'Malay Proclamation' movement that aims to unite the Malays and safeguard their interests

Mahathir also added that the rajas "surrendered and signed their states away" during the British colonial times to remain in power and keep their 'raja' titles."Saya pun, tun. Saya tak ada respect... (Me too, Mahathir. I have no respect for...)," an audience member can be heard saying in the video.It is understood that Mahathir was speaking at a private function with no microphones from the media on the table.The audience can be heard clapping and cheering to his statements that are allegedly disparaging toward the royal institution throughout the video.

After the video surfaced, the police investigated Mahathir's statements under Section 124B of the Penal Code for "committing an activity detrimental to parliamentary democracy"

Free Malaysia Today reported that he was also being investigated over the 'Malay Proclamation' movement.The police wrapped up the investigation paper on 3 June, and the case was referred to the Attorney-General's Chambers for further action yesterday, 6 June.Despite being probed, Mahathir defended that his statements were merely stories about the old Malay rulers and not the current royal institution."I was speaking about the Malay rulers, how they collected taxes during those days when they did not have income, and I relate to what happened in Johor."This is a fact, and everybody knows this. Everybody knows that he (a ruler) sold a piece of land for RM4 billion. Am I not allowed to speak about this?"And I have met with the Chinese who bought that land, the person was boasting how he acquired the land for RM4 billion, and it now belongs to him forever," Malaysiakini quoted him as saying.He said his statements were common knowledge, before asking, "Can't I talk about it?"

The video of Mahathir making the controversial statements can be found below:

  @razmansyah Reply to @nurqstnalysa  now he sings blackpink song   original sound  - Muhd Razmansyah

Sebenarnya, individu yang dikatakan abangnya itu adalah dirinya sendiri

"Ada video sebelum ini yang mendapat jumlah tontonan tidak seperti yang saya harapkan. Jadi saya terfikir, apa kata saya buat content lain dari yang lain.Konon-konon saya rakam abang saya menyanyi secara senyap-senyap tanpa dia sedar sedangkan itu sebenarnya adalah saya. Saya anak sulung, tak ada abang pun sebenarnya," katanya.

Dapat idea untuk buat content tersebut daripada TikToker luar negara

Menurut Razman lagi, dia mengakui semakin minat terhadap kumpulan Blackpink selepas mereka muncul dalam sebuah dokumentari di Netflix bertajuk Light Up The Sky baru-baru ini."Salah satu impian saya, saya mahu jadi penyanyi. Kalau ada peluang, saya tak tolak," katanya.Razman juga mengucapkan terima kasih kepada netizen yang memuji nyanyiannya dalam video tular tersebut yang kini mendapat lebih 254,000 tontonan di TikTok.

Mana tahu mungkin satu hari nanti ada rezeki Razman dalam industri muzik di Malaysia pula kan? :)

'Elok Manja Daripada Degil' - Lelaki Ini Seru Kaum Bapa Jadi 'Best Friend' Buat Anak-Anak

Artikel ini ditulis oleh Dr Syahr Musafir di laman Facebook, kemudian diambil dan dikongsi semula di SAYS atas kebenaran beliau.

Apabila saya berada di rumah atau di kedai makan, saya lebih suka menyuap anak-anak makan berbanding membiarkan mereka makan sendiri. Bukan 24 jam sehari saya bersama mereka, lebih-lebih lagi kebanyakan harinya anak-anak sudah pun siap makan pakai setiap kali saya pulang dari kerja. Jadi, menyuap makan adalah salah satu cara 'engravement' atau 'bonding' yang baik antara seorang ayah dan anak-anak kecil. Gembira dapat tengok anak-anak berselera makan apabila kita yang suapkan.Apabila di luar, di shopping mall dan seumpamanya, anak-anak berpimpin tangan dengan saya. Ibarat tak pernah lepas tangan, asyik berkepit saja. Kalau saya ke kaunter cashier pun, anak-anak akan menurut.

        facebook.com

Image via Syahr Musafir/Facebook

Biasalah, ada orang yang kata saya terlalu manjakan anak-anak. Lebih-lebih lagi si Kakak, puteri pertama kami yang berusia 5 tahun. Makan pun nak bersuap. Sepatutnyalah boleh makan sendiri. Sudah besar.Hari itu saya pulang ke rumah mertua, sengaja saya berseloroh kepada Ma (panggilan saya kepada ibu mertua), "Ada orang kata Papa (saya) terlalu manjakan anak-anak. Macam betul jugalah, anak-anak manja. Selalu apabila Papa di rumah, anak-anak akan makan bersuap, tidur tengah hari minta didodoikan, baca buku pun minta ditemankan.. Padahal kalau dengan Mama (isteri saya), anak-anak buat sendiri semuanya." Isteri saya langsung menambah, "Itulah, manja betul dengan Papa."

        facebook.com

Image via Syahr Musafir/Facebook

Lantas Ma memberi respon, bersahaja, "Biarlah anak-anak manja asalkan mendengar kata. Lebih baik anak-anak manja dengan kita, daripada manja dengan orang lain. Lebih baik anak-anak manja, daripada dapat anak-anak yang degil. Lebih-lebih lagi si Papa yang mengepalai keluarga..."Kata-kata dan nasihat Ma ini, saya pegang, sejak hari itu, sampai bila-bila.Ayah, Papa, Abah, Bapak, Daddy, harus jadi sahabat paling rapat, teman paling akrab, sahabat paling setia dan idola sepanjang hidup kepada anak-anaknya. Biar nanti jadi 'Ayahku Boyfriendku" daripada si anak perempuan mencari belaian manja daripada lelaki-lelaki di luar sana yang mempunyai risiko merosakkan dirinya. Biar nanti jadi "Ayahku Best-friendku" daripada si anak lelaki melepak tak tentu hala dengan kutu-kutu rayau di luar kawalan kita.Elok manja, daripada degil.

Tesco Introduced Self-Checkout Machines In One Of Its Stores & We Can't Wait To Try It Out

Have you ever been stuck in a queue for a long time due to the lack of open cashier counters? That may just be a thing of the past because Tesco has recently rolled out self-checkout machines in their iOi City Mall outlet in Putrajaya for a trial run!

Image via Twitter @adhsyaya

Tesco isn't exactly the first retailer to introduce the self-checkout system. Sam's Groceria has had its own self-scan system since 2013, but it is only available for those who have the Sam's Groceria Family Card.

Image via Joy Lee / The Star Online

Self-checkout machines allow customers to assume the role of the cashier by scanning, bagging, and paying for their items on their own. Don't worry if you don't have a credit or debit card, you can still pay with cash via the bank note scanner and coin slots.

Image via Twitter @WATaufiq

As an alternative to traditional cashier-staffed checkouts, self-checkout systems require the customer to scan the barcodes themselves; input the types of items e.g. fruits and vegetables, and weigh them, if applicable; and place their scanned items into a 'bagging area'.Payment methods include cash, credit and debit card, and in-store cash vouchers or gift cards, if applicable.The self-checkout system has already been implemented abroad for years, such as in the US, UK and Australia.

So, is the self-checkout system going to override the need for an actual human cashier?
Not exactly. Cashier-staffed counters will still be available, but having self-checkout stations gives shoppers the option of fast-tracking their purchases when the lines are too long... especially when you're only grabbing a few items.

For retailers, these machines help to reduce labour costs as one attendant can assist several checkout lanes at one time seeing as customers assume the duties of a cashier.

There are, of course, concerns in regards to shoplifting and dishonest conduct when scanning items. Also, what happens when you don't understand how to use the machine or encounter technical difficulties while using it?

Image via tumblr.com

While it does not protect retailers against shoplifting and customers who take advantage of the lack of human monitoring, there are sensors in the machine's "bagging area" which verifies the weight of the items against previously stored information to ensure the the correct items are being bagged.  The customer is only allowed to proceed with payment if the observed and expected weights match.Also, in practice, there will also be store assistants on duty to monitor as well as to provide assistance where needed.

Image via Twitter @WATaufiq

If any of you are heading to iOi City Mall this weekend, go try it out and let us know what you think! Just don't get into an argument with the machine...

Four foreign hikers who posed naked on Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia were freed after they were fined and sentenced to time served. They had pleaded guilty to "committing an obscene act."The local court on Friday evening fined the four RM5,000, about $1,332, each and sentenced them to three days in prison. Taking into account the time served already, the court ordered them freed.

        cnn.com

Eleanor Hawkins, 23, was one of four Western tourists who flew to Kuala Lumpur Saturday to be deport after admitting obscenity charges. “I know my behaviour was foolish and I know how much offence we all caused to the local people of Sabah. For that, I am truly sorry,” she said in a statement outside her house in Draycott, central England.

It is only a matter of time before notorious Canadian nudist Emil Kaminski arrives in the clutches of police after four of his accomplices, including two women, were today served with four-day remand orders in the Kota Kinabalu Magistrates Court following their arrests yesterday.The quartet - two Candian brothers aged 22 and 23, a Dutch national and a British woman - were detained separately, three surrendered at the Kota Kinabalu District police headquarters and the other was arrested before boarding a flight at the Tawau Airport.

They are expected to be charged for indecency under Section 294 Penal Code in civil court, which could lead to jail time up to three months or a hefty fine or both. However there hasn't been any confirmation if they would be tried in the native court as requested by many. The native courts are special to the indigenous peoples of East Malaysia and governed by the Native Courts Enactment 1992.

Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman, Sabah's police commissioner, was quoted saying that the authorities may charge them with causing a public nuisance also.He said they were still looking for the other six tourists from the same group "and we will catch them".

After his Twitter showdown with Datuk Masidi Manjun yesterday, tourist Emil Kaminski has uploaded a YouTube video again mocking the Sabah minister and Malaysians who blamed his act of stripping on Mount Kinabalu for the earthquake last Friday.In the 12-minute-and-35-second video titled “Trolling Malaysia” on his account “monkeetime”, Kaminski questioned how Masidi could be the state’s tourism, culture and environment minister when he does not understand geology.

        themalaymailonline.com

Sabah Tourism Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun urged Malaysians not to give any attention to the tourist mocking him and the country over last week’s earthquake, saying the man was profiting from the scrutiny.

8 June: Nude tourist Emil Kaminski calls Sabah minister an idiot and tells locals to "f**k your culture"

Emil Kaminski's Facebook post caused an uproar among Malaysians and travellers alike for being disrespectful and ignorant to Sabahan culture and beliefs.

"Well, apparently I am responsible for the 2015 Nepal quake, and whatever incoming quakes in Canada (as well as Thailand, India, China, Taiwan, Hongkong, and a variety of other countries...),” Emil Kaminski said, while posting a picture of him exposing his naked behind at various other mountain tops.

        thestar.com.my

"It is not based in logic, but superstition. I utterly do not care for superstition," said travel blog Monkeetime founder Emil Kaminski on his Facebook page.  "If local religion prohibits certain actions, then local believers of that religion should not engage in it, but they cannot expect everyone to obey their archaic and idiotic rules," he said.  When advised to show respect to the local culture by a commenter on Facebook, Kaminski replied by saying "f**k your culture".

        thestar.com.my

Malaysians have flooded his Facebook post condemning him for being disrespectful, ignorant and a shame to Western travellers. Many warned Kaminski that he would not be welcomed back to Malaysia and that people would "find" him. There were also posts of a screenshot of his AirAsia flight itinerary of his outgoing trip from Tawau to Taipei through Kuala Lumpur.

Over 2,580 comments flood Kaminski's Facebook post

Kaminski, on Monkeetime's Twitter page @monkeetimevideo, also called Sabah's Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Masidi Manjun an "idiot" and "not a minister of tourism". The tweet was then copied and retweeted on Datuk Masidi's Twitter page. An earlier tweet also referred to the minister as a "dildo" for blaming the earthquake on the stripping incident.

        straitstimes.com

Kaminski's tweet on 7 June 2015 said Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun was an "idiot"

Kaminski also poked fun at making reparations for exposing himself on top of Mount Kinabalu. He wrote that he believed in having some "decency laws", but did not see the harm in nude photos being taken on "a remote mountaintop". He added that he took his "butt photos" in remote places where hardly anyone sees him.

        straitstimes.com

Datuk Masidi Manjun, Sabah's Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister however, responded well to Kaminski's "complimentary" tweet

Just got this very complimentary posting from the nudist. I say, "it takes a monkey to call another person a monkey" pic.twitter.com/PjTjHds1Qb— Masidi Manjun (@MasidiM) June 8, 2015

"Such actions truly defile the sanctity of sacred sites."* - Masidi

The minister said that the Caucasians who posed naked on Mt. Kinabalu will be kicked out of Sabah if they were found to still be in the State."We are respectful of other people's taste but if they don't respect the culture and tradition of the countries they visit, they are not the kind of tourists we want."He added that there were some groups of people who were travelling around the world, visiting sacred sites and then having photos of them naked taken at these places.

3 June: Earlier on Saturday, 30 May, a photograph of five foreigners posing nude close to the peak of Mt. Kinabalu surfaced on social media and quickly spread, triggering outrage among Sabahans who consider the area sacred. The photo was taken from a distance.

Following which, Sabah Parks was ordered to investigate the matter

According to State Tourism Culture and Environment Minister Masidi Manjun, Sabah Parks has been ordered to investigate the issue to find out if the incident (of foreigners urinating near the Mt. Kinabalu) really did take place or if the photo was doctored.Sabah Parks, Masidi said, was checking with the mountain guides if any of them had knowledge of foreigners urinating near the peak of the mountain. "It could have been a superimposed photograph. We are doing a full investigation," he told The Star.

The Kadazandusuns, a unification term given to Kadazan and Dusun, the two indigenous tribes in Sabah, believe that the 4,095 meter Mt. Kinabalu area is the sacred resting ground of the spirits of their ancestors and should be treated with great respect

According to The Star, they also believe that the word Kinabalu comes from the word Aki Nabalu which means abode of the dead.Meanwhile, condemning the alleged act, netizens said there was a need to tell all climbers to show respect for the mountain and for a book on the dos and don’ts. They also said that the mountain guides should also be more pro-active and act against those disrespecting the mountain.

The five foreigners who stripped near the mountain have been identified. As per a report on the NST, they were among 10 foreigners in a group of 27 climbers sought by the authorities in their probe into claims of indecent exposure on the summit trail.

Sabah Parks director Dr Jamili Nais said among the five identified were two Canadians, two from Netherlands and a German."They were among 27 climbers in a group," he said adding that a police report has been lodged and that the names of all the climbers have been submitted.

According to a Malay Mail report, the group of 10 tourists, who stripped naked for photographs at the peak of Mount Kinabalu, allegedly called their mountain guide "stupid" and told him to "go to hell" when he attempted to stop them from removing their clothes

“The guide involved said he had approached the group and told them not to do it but was rebuffed with the words ‘stupid’ and ‘go to hell’,” said Jamili when contacted by Malay Mail Online.“Unfortunately, the guide did not report the incident right away for action to be taken on the same day. We have since lodged a police report for further investigations to be taken against the climbers,” he said, adding that the guide involved was also reprimanded for not reporting the incident earlier.

Jamili said the department was working with the police to take action against the tourists for disrespecting the mountain. He added it was the first time such an incident had occurred at the tourist spot.Jamili said the guide had been issued a showcause letter for failing to inform Sabah Parks of the incident. “We have instructed all the guides to brief climbers that they cannot strip or do any indecent acts on the mountain,” he said, adding that signboards would be erected to remind climbers.

You May Soon Be Fined Up To RM50,000 Or Jailed For Disrespecting Bahasa Melayu

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

Individuals may soon be liable to a RM50,000 fine or sentenced to imprisonment if they are found disrespecting the national language, Bahasa Melayu

According to Bernama, Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) board of governors chairman Prof Datuk Seri Awang Sariyan said these two punishments are currently being proposed as amendments to the DBP Act 1959.He said the amendments are in their final stage of discussion before they are presented to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob next month."This is not about grammar or spelling errors, but disrespect for the national language. The proposed fine is not to punish but to evoke love and patriotism to the country," he told reporters after DBP's 66th Anniversary celebration in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, 22 June.

Awang said the DBP has also proposed for the National Language Act to be amended in line with the DBP Act so that it can carry out its duties as a language enforcer more effectively

Prior to this, the government said it would amend the DBP Act to allow the national language reference body to take legal action against people found violating the usage of Bahasa Melayu."The National Language Act is the parent act to the DBP Act. If it is expanded, the government can ask DBP to implement the language policy more effectively," he said.On the amendments, Awang said it should be implemented holistically, not only in terms of enforcement but also in the aspect of internationalisation, accreditation, and licencing of literary languages.

Pakai Jersi Bola Dan 9 Lagi Perkara Haram Menurut Mufti Dan Pendakwah Malaysia

Ramai yang tidak sedar atau buat-buat tidak sedar bahawa banyak perkara yang sering kita lakukan dalam kehidupan seharian kita adalah salah disisi agama Islam.

Sebagai Muslim di Malaysia, ada beberapa perkara yang ditekankan oleh mufti dan juga pendakwah Islam yang didakwa haram dilakukan kerana bercanggah dengan syariat agama. Antaranya:

1. Gulingkan kerajaan

Image via lifeofaannie.blogspot.com

Mufti Perak, Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria berkata, hukum menggulingkan kerajaan memerintah adalah haram di sisi agama IslamMenurut beliau, perkara itu ditekankan kerana kerajaan sedia ada telah diberi mandat secara sah oleh rakyat melalui cara yang sah. "Walaupun pemerintah yang dipilih itu zalim sekalipun tetapi tindakan menggulingkannya tetap haram dan umat Islam tidak melakukan tindakan sedemikian. "Dan disebabkan itu diwajibkan bagi setiap umat Islam untuk menasihati pemimpin dan tindakan menasihatkan pemimpin zalim itu adalah jihad terbesar," katanya.

2. Hisap vape

Image via www.tumblr.com

Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan Datuk Dr Zulkifli Mohamad menjelaskan rokok elektronik hukumnya haram berdasarkan qiyas kepada rokok sebenar serta mungkin lebih memudaratkan berbanding rokok biasa.Beliau juga berkata penggunaan vapor juga suatu pembaziran, meniru budaya bukan Islam dan dilihat tidak bermaruah.“Kami nyatakan di sini fatwa yang dikeluarkan menyatakan hukumnya sama seperti hukum rokok biasa.“Justeru, hukumnya adalah haram,” katanya.

3. Hisap dan meniaga shisha

Muzakarah khas Jawatankuasa Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan Bagi Hal Ehwal Agama Islam memutuskan shisha adalah haram bagi umat Islam. Selain menghisap shisha, muzakarah turut melarang umat Islam daripada menyediakan perkhidmatan menghisap shisha atau apa-apa aktiviti berkaitan shisha."Setelah mendengar pembentangan dan penjelasan pakar daripada Kementerian Kesihatan dan meneliti maklumat serta bukti perubatan dan saintifik terperinci yang dikemukakan dari dalam dan luar negara mengenai kesan dan kemudaratan besar yang dihadapi akibat shisha...maka muzakarah bersetuju memutuskan shisha adalah haram," katanya. Abdul Shukor menjelaskan penggunaan shisha akan memberi kesan dan kemudaratan besar dari segi kesihatan ummah, pembangunan ekonomi negara serta pembentukan generasi akan datang.

4. Berselfie di kubur

Image via www.kualalumpurpost.ne

Mufti Perak, Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria menyelar tindakan segelintir umat Islam yang bergambar atau lebih popular dengan gelaran ‘selfie’ di tanah perkuburan.Katanya, perbuatan sedemikian tidak sewajarnya dilakukan dan boleh dikategorikan haram jika ia dilakukan dengan niat untuk berseronok. “Tindakan sebegini sangat tidak wajar dilakukan, apatah lagi di tanah perkuburan. Sewajaranya ketika menziarahi kubur, ianya dijadikan iktibar dan bukannya untuk berseronok-seronok," kata Harussani.

5. Hantaran tinggi

Sesebuah perkahwinan itu akan menjadi haram sekiranya nilai wang hantaran yang ditetapkan bertujuan untuk menunjuk-nunjuk hingga menimbulkan perasaan riak.Mufti Perak, Tan Sri Harrussani Zakaria berkata, tidak salah untuk meletakkan nilai hantaran yang tinggi jika pasangan itu mampu, namun jika tujuan sebenarnya adalah untuk menunjuk-nunjuk, perbuatan itu adalah haram.Menurut beliau, perasaan riak adalah salah satu daripada dosa besar dan ia merupakan satu perbuatan yang dianggap syirik kecil dalam Islam.

6. Pondan, Mak Nyah, Pengkid, LGBT, dan seangkatan dengannya

Image via www.budiey.com

Lelaki yang menyerupai perempuan ataupun sebaliknya merupakan perbuatan dilaknat Allah yang jelas menunjukkan perkara itu haram dalam Islam, kata Mufti Pahang Datuk Seri Dr Abd Rahman Osman.“Kalau lelaki menyerupai perempuan, kita halalkan, ertinya kita telah menghalalkan sesuatu yang telah diharamkan oleh Allah.“Hukumnya orang yang bercakap begitu kalau dia sedar dia boleh syirik kepada Allah, dia boleh terkeluar daripada Islam kerana dia telah mengubah hukum Allah ertinya tidak memperakui peraturan Allah,” katanya.Melainkan, katanya, golongan ‘khunsa muskhil’ yang dilahirkan dalam keadan dua sifat lelaki dan wanita yang boleh dinasihatkan berjumpa doktor bagi membuat pengesahan identiti mereka.

7. Menari poco-poco

Tarian poco-poco yang popular sebagai aktiviti riadah dalam kalangan suri rumah dan penjawat awam ketika menghadiri kursus dan majlis keraian telah diputuskan sebagai haram oleh Jawatankuasa Fatwa Negeri Perak.Mufti Perak, Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria berkata, tarian tersebut diharamkan kerana ia mempunyai unsur kepercayaan agama lain iaitu Kristian selain pemujaan roh.“Kajian mendapati tarian yang sering diamalkan di Jamaica itu bercirikan agama Kristian. Oleh itu haram bagi orang Islam mengamalkannya,” katanya.

8. Main gitar, piano atau trumpet

Image via www.tumblr.com

Menurut seorang pendakwah Ustaz Abdul Raof Nurin, Umat Islam dilarang bermain alat muzik seperti gitar,piano atau trumpet kerana ia bertentangan dengan hadis, sebaliknya, mengalakkan penggunaan kompang dan gong.Beliau berkata mazhab Shafie hanya membenarkan umat Islam mendengar muzik yang menyentuh mengenai cintakan agama dan menggesa mereka yang mahu bermain alat muzik sebaik-baiknya menggunakan gong atau kompang.Tambahnya, bagaimanapun mazhab Shafie membuat pengecualian untuk ‘Gambus’, instrumen bertali sama seperti gitar, hanya jika mereka bermain mengikut peraturan Islam.

9. Pakai jersi bola

Image via lanunsepet.blogspot.com

Pemakaian jersi bola sepak atau sebarang pakaian yang memiliki lambang salib, jenama arak dan imej syaitan adalah haram hukumnya dan boleh menjurus kepada perbuatan syirik.Penasihat Majlis Agama Islam Johor (MAIJ), Datuk Nooh Gadot berkata, perkara tersebut ditegah oleh Islam dan perbuatan mengabaikan hukum yang sudah jelas boleh membawa umat Islam ke arah syirik.Beliau berkata, memakai baju seperti itu walau apapun alasannya menunjukkan umat Islam seolah-olah mengagung-agungkan dan memuliakan lambang agama lain.

10. Pakai lilitan di lengan

Image via news.asiaone.com

Jawatankuasa Fatwa Negeri Perlis meminta supaya anggota beruniform seperti polis dan ahli sukan beragama Islam tidak memakai lilitan hitam ataupun warna lain di lengan baju kerana perbuatan itu adalah haram.Mufti Perlis Datuk Dr Juanda Jaya berkata, perbuatan berkenaan sering dilakukan ketika kematian sedangkan ia merupakan adat kebudayaan bagi orang kafir.“Pihak kami telah menyemak perkara ini dan mendapati Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan pada tahun 1987 telah membuat keputusan bahawa perbuatan itu haram, oleh itu Jawatankuasa Fatwa Negeri Perlis bersetuju sebulat suara menerima keputusan itu.“Setiap bentuk pakaian bagi tujuan sosial atau sebagainya yang dipakai oleh orang Islam hendaklah tidak melibatkan unsur-unsur yang khusus dengan adat atau keagamaan bagi agama lain,” katanya merujuk kepada keputusan berkenaan.

"Setahun Kami Berkahwin, Dia Tak Pernah Sentuh Saya" - Derita Isteri Bersuamikan Gay

Setiap insan mengimpikan sebuah perkahwinan yang bahagia dan berkekalan. Namun, keruntuhan rumahtangga itu boleh terjadi disebabkan beberapa faktor yang tak diundang.

Image via thoughtsonliberty.com

Cuba anda bayangkan, bagaimana sekiranya anda sudah berkahwin selama setahun tetapi sekalipun anda tidak pernah 'bersama' dengan pasangan. Begitulah kisah yang diceritakan oleh pengguna Facebook, Syahr Musafir beberapa hari lalu. Beliau telah didatangi oleh seorang wanita yang menceritakan sepanjang satu tahun berkahwin, suaminya sekalipun tidak pernah menyentuhnya. Bila ditanya sama ada dia lebih baik dengan rakan-rakan lelakinya, dia mengakui hal tersebut. Ya, suaminya adalah seorang homoseksual.

Image via telegrafi.com

Pada mulanya, dia agak malu untuk bercerita. Tetapi disebabkan buntu dengan masalah tersebut, akhirnya dia menceritakan apa yang terjadi pada dirinya selama setahun berkahwin

"Bang, Kak... Saya nak beritahu sesuatu ni walaupun saya rasa malu..." wanita berusia akhir 20-an ini memulakan bicara. Suaranya tersekat-sekat.Terasa seperti berat apa yang cuba diluahkan olehnya.Kami memberi perhatian kepadanya."Saya bukan desperate, tetapi saya rasa something wrong. Sebab 12 bulan kami berkahwin secara sah, majlis pun agak besar dan tinggal bersama di kediaman yang selesa dalam keadaan kami berdua bekerjaya dan ada pendapatan, dia tak pernah sentuh saya. Lebih setahun kami kahwin, hinggalah kami bercerai, saya masih belum disentuh orang seperti anak dara," ceritanya.Sambungnya lagi, "Sampaikan saya meragui diri saya sendiri. Adakah saya tidak nampak wanita pada matanya, atau tiada ciri kewanitaan pada diri saya, atau dia tidak sukakan saya. Jika begitu, kenapa dia menikahi saya?"Wanita dan air mata, tak pernah dapat dipisahkan. Suasana jadi sayu seakan babak Anna Althafunnisa' bercerita kemusykilan kisahnya dengan Mas Furqan yang langsung tidak menyentuhnya setelah lama bernikah dalam filem "Ketika Cinta Bertasbih." Kali ini, ulang kisahnya dalam alam realiti melibatkan kami dan seorang 'gadis' muda bergelar janda ini.

        facebook.com

Apabila ditanya sama ada bekas suaminya berkelakuan baik dengannya, dia mengiyakannya. Dan bila ditanya adakah lelaki itu lebih baik bersama rakan-rakan lelakinya, wanita itu mengangguk dan menjawab...

"Dia baik tak dengan kamu?" lama saya diam, akhirnya saya buka mulut."Dia baik," jawabnya, pendek. Matanya menampung takungan jernih air mata."Dia baik dengan kamu. Tetapi dia lebih baik dengan rakan-rakan lelakinya?" soal saya lagi.Dia mengangguk."Mungkin itulah jawapan kepada runtuhnya pernikahan ini," tambah si dia sambil mengesat air mata di pipi.Zaman-berzaman kita merisaukan ikhtilat atau pergaulan melebihi had antara lelaki dengan perempuan. Kita tidak mahu berlaku sesuatu yang melampaui batas. Kita mohon dijauhkan daripada 'bala' ada gadis mengandung di luar nikah dan seangkatan dengannya.Zaman kini kita perlu lebih takutkan perhubungan lelaki dan lelaki yang terlalu akrab. Zaman kini kita perlu lebih takutkan perhubungan wanita dan wanita yang melampaui batas. Sebab isu-isu ini lebih misteri tetapi berlaku senyap-senyap tanpa ada kesan bunyi. Tak ternampak dek mata, tak terdengar dek telinga dan tak terhidu dek hidung. Hari ini kita perlu tegaskan bahawa persahabatan sesama jantina juga ADA BATASNYA dan berhak untuk mendapat pantauan oleh ibu bapa.

        facebook.com

Menurut Syahr Musafir, sesiapa yang mengalami masalah seumpama itu, mereka seharusnya mendapatkan rawatan secepatnya.  Tidak kiralah dari segi psikologi mahupun perubatan.

Saya sarankan sesiapa sahaja sama ada diri sendiri atau pasangan yang ada masalah sebegini bercepat-cepatlah dapatkan bantuan atau rawatan tidak kira dari segi psikologi dan perubatan, lebih-lebih lagi dari segi spiritual dan agama. TIGA BULAN bernikah boleh dijadikan 'buffer time' tetapi jika melebihi tempoh ini, sudah cukup lama untuk 'mengagak' jika pasangan punya isu (sama ada masalah gay, lesbian atau masalah kelamin lain) dan jangan menunggu lagi. Dapatkanlah bantuan dan rawatan. JANGAN MALU. Paling kurang, beritahu ibu bapa masing-masing atau orang rapat (yang telah berkahwin) yang dipercayai untuk penyelesaian, bukan sembang kosong tanpa tindakan wajar.Mati pucuk bukan kesalahan tetapi harus diberi rawatan. Kecenderungan menyeleweng sebegini tidak wajar diteruskan dan wajib dibetulkan!SATU LAGI! Berkawanlah baik-baik, tetapi jangan pernah melebihkan kawan berbanding isteri dan keluarga, apatah lagi mengabaikan.

Singapore Will No Longer Stamp Your Passport When You Leave

Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) made the announcement in a press release today, 17 April, claiming that it will help speed up immigration lines and streamline procedures.

Previously, foreigners would need to have their passports stamped  with the date of departure at immigration counters before leaving Singapore

Since September 2016, travellers' fingerprints would be enrolled via the BioScreen system upon their arrival in Singapore making them eligible to use automated lanes when they leave the country.However, to facilitate a more efficient departure, the new system will not require departure immigration endorsements, such as stamps on travel documents and passports.

Image via Today Online

On Monday, 15 April, ICA revealed that a facial recognition system is currently being tested to replace fingerprints and passports for those travelling in and out of Singapore

According to ICA, the new system will capture the facial and iris images of travellers in the automated lane, verify their identity, and confirm that they have a valid passport.The process will reportedly take less than 60 seconds.

Dr Noor Hisham Warns Against Using 3 Cosmetic Products That Contain A Poisonous Substance

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has named three cosmetic products that contain scheduled poisons which can be harmful to health

In a statement, Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the products contain mercury and the ministry has banned the sales of the products in the country.The products are: Glow Skin White-Brightening Cream, Glow Skin White-Sun Care, and Rzac Beauty Creme 2.

Image via National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA)

"Mercury is prohibited in cosmetics products because it can be harmful to health. It can be absorbed into the body and cause damage to the kidneys and nervous system," said Dr Noor Hisham

"The substance can also disrupt brain development of young or unborn children and causes rashes, irritation, and other changes to the skin."

He urged those who have the products at home to immediately stop using them and seek advice from medical professionals if they experience any discomfort or adverse effects

Dr Noor Hisham reminded the public that the sales and distributions of these products are a violation under the Control Of Drugs And Cosmetics Regulations 1984.If convicted, companies or individuals can be fined up to RM50,000 or five years' jail for the first offence and subsequent offences can be punished up to RM100,000 in fine.

A quick search on the Internet found that Glow Skin White products are easily found on many e-commerce sites

Image via My Beauty

Glow Skin White-Brightening Cream goes for RM120 on two e-commerce sites.Photos of Glow Skin White products are scattered across Facebook, with many visuals depicting 'before and after' use of the products. Some advertorial messages claimed that the product is "Certified by FDA Laboratories California".The brand also has many product posters that look aesthetic and professionally made, creating an illusion that it is an established brand that has little to no difference from other cosmetic brands. The same can be said for Rzac Beauty products.Glow Skin White is banned by Brunei's Ministry of Health as well.
