This Could Be Why Gap Stores Are Closing Down In Malaysia

Earlier today, Gap Malaysia announced on its Facebook page that the Gap and GapKids store in the Gardens Mall will be closing soon

Following the announcement, netizens began speculating if the stores are closing worldwide as well. Furthermore, some also asked if there will be a clearance sale before the stores officially close.

This isn't the first Gap store to be closed in Malaysia recently, as the ones in Pavilion KL and Queensbay Mall suffered the same fate as well

In January, Gap announced about the closure of the outlets in the two other malls.According to some commenters, the Gap store in Queensbay Mall was officially closed on 4 February, while the one in Pavilion KL was on 7 February.There hasn’t been any news on the closure of the other stores in Malaysia.

However, this isn't a surprising move from Gap, considering that the parent company announced last year that they are closing "underperforming" stores around the world

On 6 September 2017, CNN reported that Gap Inc., the company that owns both Gap and Banana Republic, announced that it will close about 200 "underperforming" stores worldwide. Furthermore, both brands have been seeing declining sales in the last few years due to the rise of "so-called" fast fashion retailers such as Forever 21 and H&M.In August 2017, Gap's comparable sales fell by 1% and Banana Republic's were down by 5%.

To make sure the company continues growing, Gap Inc. is shifting its focus to its better performing brands, Old Navy and Athleta

According to Los Angeles Times, Gap's Chief Executive Art Peck told analysts at a Goldman Sachs Global Annual Retailing conference last year that the company will "continue to move with the customer and meet them where they are." In the next two years, Gap Inc. will open about 270 Old Navy and Athleta stores around the world.

M'sians Are Not Happy After Finding Out Banks Charge RM2 For Over-The-Counter Transactions

Last week, an audio recording of a customer confronting a bank teller regarding a RM2 fee charged in an over-the-counter transaction went viral

In the three-minute audio clip, the male customer asked the customer service staff member about the unfamiliar RM2 fee he paid when he made a loan repayment over the counter at a bank branch recently.The audio clip was shared over 1,000 times at the time of writing, with 99% of the audience voting against the fee.

The bank staff told him that the charge is a new fee for over-the-counter transactions, while RM0.50 will be charged for transactions made through cash deposit machines (CDMs) too

He called the fees "grossly unfair"."We are already paying so much interest on loans and you further charge us RM2 for using your services," the customer reasoned with the customer service staff member over the call.He also expressed that the bank's online service is often down, which is another reason not to take such a fee from customers.

In the comment section, many netizens vented that they were charged by other banks too."I was paying my car loan and I was charged RM0.50. I wasn't charged before this," one netizen complained. Another added, "So it means the total loan amount will increase by RM2 every time lah. Is this even in the contract?"

According to The Star, more banks will follow the move to charge customers for not using e-services when making loan or credit card repayments

Image via Facebook

Affin Bank, CIMB Bank, Public Bank, and Standard Chartered have started charging their customers these fees, the English daily reported.Meanwhile, AmBank and Maybank have notified their customers about the fees, which come into effect on Tuesday, 1 October. However, the latter is said to have taken down the announcement on its website.

Despite the uproar, the Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM) defended the fees, saying that it is to encourage customers to adopt online payments

Image via Free Malaysia Today

"In order to encourage customers to move from cash to e-payments, some of our member banks currently impose fees for cheque and cash payments for credit card and financing payments performed over the counter (via teller at a bank branch) and via CDMs," the bank group said in a statement, as quoted by Free Malaysia Today."These fees may be debited from your credit card and/or financing account."Additionally, ABM said that the new fees will not be imposed on customers aged above 65 years and the disabled.

Political leaders have since urged Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to cancel the fees which are deemed to be a burden to the low-income groups

Image via Malaysiakini

Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) deputy chairperson S Arutchelvan claimed that many Malaysians are unaware of the extra fees, reported Malaysiakini.He urged BNM to intervene and stop the "greed of commercial banks", adding that the move could also put counter staff out of jobs.Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) reached out to BNM in May this year following complaints of the fees, but its president Mohideen Abdul Kader said the central bank has not responded to them till this date.Echoing Arutchelvan's view, Mohideen said, "BNM can start by cancelling the counter and cash deposit machine transaction charges. After that, they should also look at all the other unfair practices imposed by banks on their customers."

JDT Striker Syafiq's Father Was Waiting For CMCO To Be Over To Go See His Infant Grandson

It was an emotional scene at the Sungai Bakap Hospital's forensic unit this morning, 6 December, as family members tried to console Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) striker Muhammad Syafiq Ahmad, who lost his son

The JDT striker with his wife, daughter, and infant son was involved in an accident that happened on Sunday morning, 6 December at the North-South Expressway (NSE) in Nibong Tebal.There were two more fatalities reported in the accident. While one of the victims was Syafiq's mother-in-law Zainab Wahab, aged 45, the other victim was an Indonesian Titik Sukamti, in her 30s.

Syafiq, who was behind the wheel of the Toyota Vellfire, is said to have lost control of the vehicle while trying to avoid something on the road

According to Syafiq's father Ahmad Ibrahim, his son is still in shock."He said he was trying to avoid something before he lost control, causing the vehicle to skid and ram into the road divider," the 56-year-old was quoted as saying by Harian Metro at the hospital.

The 25-year-old professional footballer, who resides in Johor, was on his way to his in-law's house in Pendang, Kedah earlier today

His father received a call at about 4am, informing him that his son was involved in an accident.At first, however, Ahmad thought that the caller had contacted the wrong person.He explained to the caller that all his children were at home before realising the caller was referring to the JDT striker, as he was not aware that Syafiq was on his way to his in-law's house.After Ahmad was convinced it was Syafiq, he rushed to the scene of the accident. However, by the time he reached there, the Penang Fire and Rescue Department had sent everyone hospital.

Syafiq's father's side of the family lives in Penang

They have yet to meet Syafiq's son, who was born on 14 November, due to the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) that is being lifted in a staggered manner starting Monday, 7 December.According to Ahmad, the family was planning a trip to Johor to visit Syafiq after the end of the CMCO.Ahmad said they were supposed to leave on 11 December, but had to put their trip on hold after his area, Bayan Baru, was placed under the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO)."Our whole family was excited to visit our first grandson, Muhammad Aisy Saqeef, and Syafiq's siblings had applied for leave from work to visit him in Johor," he told New Straits Times.

Malaysian Shares How He Married His High School Sweetheart In A Viral Facebook Post

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

Imagine dating your high school sweetheart for eight years and finally getting married?

Image via GIPHY

That's the story of Yeefon Koh and Jia Ning!
In a post that has since gone viral, Koh shared about their eight-year-long love story which recently ended up with them tying the knot.

The long Facebook post that was shared on Saturday, 4 September, garnered 41,000 likes and 20,000 shares at the time of writing. Their story began when Koh transferred to Jia Ning's high school and ended up in the same volleyball team as her.Koh said he thought she was beautiful the moment they first met, but he did not speak to her as he thought Jia Ning was "cold". In addition, Jia Ning was already in a relationship at that time."I remember the school bell going off one day and in that sea of people, I saw you and called out to you. You looked back and smiled at me. I didn't care if it was childish or immature at that time, my heart moved at that moment," Koh recalled."I smiled back. It was love at first sight."

Koh said Jia Ning was his motivation to attend every volleyball practice and by the end of that year, everyone on the team knew of Koh's feelings except for Jia Ning

Their volleyball team used to go to the movies and Koh said that he would often sit together with Jia Ning."I was so happy, enjoying the silence of handing you the popcorn, and the others watching us with joy," Koh said.But knowing Jia Ning's relationship status at that time, Koh decided to give up and stayed out of contact for a while.His luck turned when his friends informed him that Jia Ning had later broken up. Koh did not react to it immediately, instead, he only confessed to her months later. Jia Ning, who also had a secret crush on Koh at that time, reciprocated, thus marking the start of their relationship!

The lovebirds spent every day doing everything together, even though they were in different classes.
"It was all you," Koh penned.

So, after finishing their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) exams, Koh gave up taking up the course he wanted and enrolled in Jia Ning's university of choice.Koh, who loved mathematics, ended up taking accounting — a subject that he hated the most — just so they could be in the same university."You chose to study in Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), so I gave up the course I wanted to get into UTAR with you, because I know we would break up within half a year if we were in a long distance relationship," Koh said."I choose you."Throughout their university life, they stuck together through thick and thin, making lots of memories.Koh recalls the times they did not have much money and had to squeeze together on a single bed in the small room they rented. He also recalls their fights when they were busy.But nevertheless, their love prevailed because when it came to their internship period, Koh gave up the chance to get into better companies to stay in Kampar with Jia Ning. "Even though it's boring and the work is simple, the happiest moment for me is going back to the dormitory after work and watch you wandering around," he said.

"I remember I said 'If we can spend years of college living together, then I'm sure you're The One'," Koh added.
"The day when we wore graduation gowns and took pictures together, I knew you were the one, the one who would be wearing the wedding dress too."

To show their commitment to each other, they also got "couple tattoos", which was designed by Jia Ning herself.Koh decided to do it on their anniversary even though he was not a big fan of tattoos because he knows how much it would mean to Jia Ning, who loves tattoos.The tattoo — an ordinary human hand clasping a skeleton hand — means "Love even when you die, until you die" according to Jia Ning.Their love definitely showed when their work-life journey started as Koh gave up his accounting career path and decided to take time for himself, leaving behind the opportunity to earn a stable and good salary.They stuck together through it and eventually started an online business together. Jia Ning even left her full-time job to concentrate on the growing business.

However, the couple met with another hurdle when Jia Ning was admitted to the hospital due to the side effects of painkillers which affected her stomach and kidney

Koh accompanied her the whole time while she was in the hospital, watching her recover from the sickness."I also slept by the hospital bed the whole time and didn't step out of the hospital," Koh said.When Jia Ning was discharged, she told Koh about the message that she received from her mother, "Grandma said Yeefon treats you well, you can marry him." "We were so happy at that time," Koh shared.Jia Ning then asked Koh for a simple proposal, catching him off guard. "I never thought my proposal will be in the hospital, so simple, so unprepared," Koh said. But Jia Ning said 'Yes', and all that mattered was they were happy at that moment, he added. "No fancy preparation, neon lights, and camera glow. Just you and me, only the truest love," he shared.

Koh said these eight years of relationship has not been easy, but what made their relationship successful was bearing with the person as well as showing love through actions and not only words

"Our love is not only based on mutual understanding, companionship, and mutual tolerance, it is also based on countless nights of fighting," Koh shared."It's all you and only you."The couple got married on 4 May 2021 in an intimate wedding attended by their close relatives and friends.Congratulations, newlyweds!

"Suamiku Kapten Bas Rapid" - Kisah Gadis Bertemu Jodoh Dalam Bas Ini Boleh Buat Drama TV!

Jodoh itu Allah berikan bertepatan dengan keadaan dan masa yang bersesuaian dengan kita

Yakinlah bahawa Allah SWT sudah tetapkan jodoh kita semasa kita dilahirkan. Jodoh, rezeki, ajal, dan maut telah ditetapkan Allah SWT sejak roh kita dicipta. Bagi berhadapan dengan orang yang asyik bertanya tentang jodoh, jawablah begini, "Doakan saya, insya-Allah akan mendapat jodoh yang baik."

Image via Google

Mana tahu jodoh anda sebenarnya berada di depan mata?Seperti kisah seorang gadis yang telah bertemu jodoh dengan pemandu bas RapidKL yang selalu dinaikinya. Kisah Noor Habibah yang lebih mesra disapa Bah itu bahkan persis drama Melayu yang sering kita tonton di kaca televisyen.

Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

24 Disember 2018.Syukur, alhamdulillah. Pada tarikh ini, kami disatukan dengan sekali lafaz setelah 2 bulan 18 hari mengikat tali pertunangan.Kami berkenalan di dalam bas RapidKL 170, laluan Wira Damai ke Lebuh Ampang. Ya, laluan Bah dari Taman Seri Gombak ke Arina Skyview. Lebih kurang 3 bulan Bah menaiki bas Rapid, itulah antara kali pertama Bah menaiki bas 170, dan kapten bas tersebut adalah seorang lelaki muda. Aish, biasalah perempuan. Kalau nampak lelaki muda, mulalah bisik dalam hati, "Eh, zaujkuuuu."

Image via Google

Hari pertama naik bas dengan 'Kapten Zauj' ini macam tak ada sangat yang berlaku. Cuma duit kertas susah sangat nak masuk dalam tabung duit tuu. Aduii. Nasib baik 'Kapten Zauj' ini senyum dan tolong masukkan. Bah pun tersenyum-senyum lah sambil masuk dan duduk kat dalam bas. Bah ini memang seorang 'observer'. Setiap kali naik bas mesti nak tengok nama kapten bas Rapid yang bawa bas. So lepas turun itu sempatlah tengok nama 'Kapten Zauj' ni yang ada terselit tepi bas tu.

"Ohhh, Kapten Shamel Azri."

Dengan tiba-tiba Bah nyanyi, "Tak kumendugaaaa kau berlalu pergiii....." Yelah, nama sama dengan penyanyi lagu tu kan. Hari ke-2, Bah tunggu bas kat area Prima Sri Gombak. Bukan kat tempat biasa depan rumah. Then, bas 170 datang. Masa beratur, dah siap observe dah kapten mana yang bawa bas itu. Aisehh 'Kapten Zauj' lahh. Bah pun control muka excited Bah itu then masuk dalam bas. Alamak, Bah pakai Touch N Go pula, tak pakai duit kertas. Kalau tak, boleh dapat adegan duit kertas tak muat tabung macam semalam. Tapi, masa tengah nak touch card itu, 'Kapten Zauj' tegur Bah...

"Assalamualaikum. Hari ini tak naik kat tempat biasa ke?" Weyhhhhhhhhh. Boleh rasa tak betapa berdebarnya jantung Bah masa ni? Muka merah padamnya, terus jawab, "Oh, tak. Sebab ada nak beli barang kat sini." Bah pun terus masuk dalam bas dengan jantung nak meletup then duduk. Bah asyik tanya diri sendiri, "Weyhhh. Dia ingat aku lah!" Then, Bah teringat yang Bah tak sempat balas salam dia, tepuk dahi jelah.

Yang paling best, masa nak turun kat Monorail Chowkit. Bah ini dengan confident-nya pergi ke sebelah dia. (Padahal boleh je turun kat pintu belakang. Hehe. Gatal kan.) Mase kat traffic light sebelum Monorail Chowkit itu, boleh pula ada adegan ini. Bah nak tengok cermin sebab nak betulkan tudung, dan 'Kapten Zauj' tengok cermin sebab nak tengok penumpang. Korang boleh bayang tak macam mana time itu? Bertentanglah! Bah ini dah macam kena ZINGGG!Siapa yang tengok filem Hotel Transylvania, tahulah. Dalam 3 saat Zing itu berlaku, Bah pun teruslah alihkan mata dan jantung Bah yang baru je reda, mula berdebar balik macam nak meletup!Then, masa nak turun, 'Kapten Zauj' ini bagi Bah tiket bas. Bah punya sengal, pergi cakap dekat dia, "Saya pakai Touch N Go, tak pakai duit." Then, dia dengan segan-segan cakap, "Takpelah, ambil je lah." Bah ambil tiket and turun. Turun-turun bas, Bah pun pelik kenapa dia bagi Bah tiket.

Rupanya, belakang tiket itu, dia bagi NOMBOR DIAAAAAA...!

Begitulah cerita macam mana kami mula-mula berkenalan.Alhamdulillah, tak lama kami berkawan, kenal hati budi masing-masing, Kapten Shamel luahkan hasrat nak kahwin, dan kami sama-sama kumpul duit untuk tunang, duit hantaran, duit deposit rumah sewa, duit majlis, dan segala perbelanjaan bersama. Dan akhirnyaaa. WE ARE OFFICIALLY HUSBAND & WIFE...!!Dugaan? Dugaan mestilah ada.. rakan-rakan Bah yang rapat mesti tahu dugaan kami semasa bertunang adalah rare. Betullah, dugaan bertunang orang lain-lain. Kena banyak doa untuk diberi kesabaran yang kuat untuk menempuhinya. Doakan kami berbahagia hingga ke Jannah yaa.Terima kasih mama, arwah abah dan family Bah sebab lahirkan dan jaga Bah. Terima kasih mama abang, arwah papa dan family abang, kerana lahirkan Shamel Azri yang bukan sahaja seorang kapten bas RapidKL, tapi juga kapten hati Bah yang bakal memimpin ku ke syurga. InsyaAllah.

P/s : Kepada gadis-gadis, kawan-kawan perempuan Bah yang dah ada BF, nak kahwin, ingat, kalau betul nak hidup susah senang sama-sama, kenalah mula kumpul duit sama-sama, jangan harap laki je okay. Tapi kalau laki kau mula harapkan duit kau je, baik tak payah. Tinggalkan je. Bak kato orang nogori, MENGHABEHKAN BOREH YOO.Oh, ya! Kepada mana-mana gadis yang nak try abang-abang kapten bas Rapid, boleh je. Make sure bukan laki den dan bukan laki orang lain. Tak pasal-pasal tengah cun-cun, nak naik bas, bini dia duduk belakang bawa payung nak pukul korang.Ada ke yang sama cam kita, suamiku kapten bas? Kalau ada, boleh la komen kat post kita.

Alhamdulillah. Cute habis kisah ini.
Semoga Bah & Kapten Zauj bahagia hingga ke akhir hayat!

[GAMBAR] Makan Bersila & Bersimpuh, Majlis Kahwin Ini Kembalikan Nostalgia Zaman 50-an

Kreativiti yang diketengahkan oleh penduduk di Kampung Stor, Padang Rengas di Perak ini untuk mengembalikan nostalgia ‘Pak Maun’ seperti yang kita tonton dalam filem P.Ramlee memang sangat mengujakan!

Dikatakan idea bapa kepada Rayza Ridzuan iaitu Rosdi Osman untuk menampilkan tema 50-an itu adalah untuk merapatkan hubungan di antara masyarakat setempat serta ahli keluarga.Pada masa yang sama, beliau ingin menunaikan hasrat dan keinginan ayah untuk menjaga tradisi dan membawanya kepada generasi baru.

Image via Rayza Ridzuan Rosdi

Majlis itu berlangsung di Kampung Stor yang berada di Padang Rengas, Perak khususnya di rumah kakak kepada ayah beliau iaitu Rohani Osman yang menjadi tempat di mana keluarga bapanya dibesarkan.

Image via Rayza Ridzuan Rosdi

Majlis yang berlangsung pada 31 Disember 2017 ini turut mendendangkan lagu-lagu zaman 50-an yang bagi menghidupkan kembali nostalgia Pak Maun.

Menurut Ridzuan, majlis perkahwinannya telah pun diadakan di Kuala Lumpur. Namun, bapanya tetap mahu mengadakan majlis yang berasingan di kampung bagi mewujudkan keistimewaan kepada dia dan juga adiknya.

Image via Rayza Ridzuan Rosdi

Majlis tersebut diadakan untuk meraikan dua pasangan pengantin iaitu Rayza Ridzuan Rosdi & Nur Amalina Ariffin serta Rayza Diana Rosi & Isa Hanis Isa Ansori.

Image via Rayza Ridzuan Rosdi

Ridzuan juga menjelaskan bahawa terdapat Lepor (ruang khas yang ditinggikan diperbuat dari buluh untuk kerja kenduri), Balai (tempat makan bersila), serta Tempat Bersanding

Majlis ini dibantu oleh penduduk kampung untuk membina pagar, pelamin dan segala props yang diperlukan.

Image via Rayza Ridzuan Rosdi

Mereka sekeluarga telah menggunakan buluh, rotan dan pokok pinang untuk membina, menghias sekitar rumah mereka dan serta merta menaikkan mood 50's!

Lebih unik, tetamu yang datang diwajibkan untuk makan secara bersila atau bersimpuh di balai yang telah dibina. Tiada sebarang kerusi atau meja disediakan untuk mereka.

Image via Rayza Ridzuan Rosdi

Tetamu menjamu selera di balai dalam keadaan bersila dan bersimpuh.

Image via Rayza Ridzuan Rosdi

Konsep pakaian bagi lelaki hanya memakai songkok tinggi dan kemeja bertemakan 50-an, manakala wanita pula berbaju kurung Kedah dan berkain batik. Busana pengantin pula tampak begitu gah dan lain daripada yang lain!

Ayahnya merancang seminggu lebih awal dengan perancangan yang sangat teliti, daripada muzik, pakaian, sehinggalah kepada makanan dan pelbagai lagi faktor penting bagi benar-benar mewujudkan suasana zaman 50-an

What Has Former PM Najib Razak Been Up To Since 9 May?

1. 12 MAY: Stepped down as UMNO and Barisan Nasional president

Image via Mukhriz Hazim / Malay Mail

Najib announced his resignation from both posts three days after the 14th General Election (GE14).  His position has been taken over by then UMNO acting Deputy President Dato' Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, while Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein assumed the role of UMNO deputy president.

2. 12 MAY: Scheduled to leave for Jakarta with wife Rosmah Mansor, but had to cancel the trip after the Immigration Department barred the couple from leaving the country

Saya telah dimaklumkan bahawa Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia tidak membenarkan saya dan keluarga ke luar negara. Saya menghormati arahan tersebut dan akan bersama keluarga dalam negara.— Mohd Najib Tun Razak (@NajibRazak) May 12, 2018

3. 16-17 MAY: Spent the night on the couch as police conducted a late-night raid at his home in Langgak Duta

Image via Malaysiakini

5. 19 MAY: Hosted a group of students from the Pusat Tahfiz Darul Quran Ittifaqiyyah for buka puasa (break fast) and terawih prayers

Image via Twitter @NajibRazak

6. 19 MAY: Had a routine check-up done before travelling to his constituency, Pekan, the next day

Image via Najib Razak Facebook

7. 20 MAY: Travelled to Pekan, where he gave his first speech since GE14

Image via Twitter @Kama7esh

In his speech, Najib told the crowd that he did not "steal from the people" and that BN lost the election due to lack of appreciation and slander from the then-opposition coalition. According to this tweet, the former PM also lamented that he used to fly to Pekan, but now has to drive since he is no longer PM.

8. 20 MAY: Stirred bubur lambuk with some Pekan residents during the visit to his constituency

Image via Twitter @NajibRazak

9. 19 MAY: Gave his first interview since 9 May

Image via Malay Mail

In the exclusive interview with Malay Mail at his home, the former PM discussed his life after GE14, his role in UMNO now that he has relinquished his leadership role, and his cat Kiky.

10. 22 & 24 MAY: Showed up at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters for questioning over SRC International, a subsidiary of 1MDB

Image via Twitter @aymeemin

Najib spent almost five hours at MACC HQ on the first day of questioning (21 May), followed by another six-hour round on Thursday, 24 May to wrap it up.

Image via Twitter @aymeemin

11. 23 MAY: Called out the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government for politicising and issuing "misleading" statements about their investigation into 1MDB in a Facebook post

12. 24 MAY: Received a visit from self-proclaimed "Raja Bomoh" Datuk Ibrahim Mat Zain

Image via Twitter @zurairi

Though he arrived in a black luxury sedan emblazoned with a customised "RAJA BOMOH VVIP" number plate, the coconut-wielding shaman left five minutes upon arriving without meeting Najib. It was previously reported that Ibrahim was declared bankrupt by the Insolvency Department after he failed to showed up to file his nomination on 28 March.

13. 25 MAY: Published another Facebook post criticising the PH government for "unnecessarily spooking the market" and prompting "sharp falls" in the stock exchange

Aside from Najib, several high-ranking officials have also resigned, got transferred out, or put on leave in the past two weeks:

Mat Sabu's Son To Spend 8 Months Behind Bars For Taking Marijuana

Earlier today, 24 June, Ahmad Saiful Islam Mohamad was sentenced to eight months in prison for using drugs at a hotel in January last year

The 32-year-old son of Amanah president Mohamad Sabu was convicted under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which carries a maximum two-year jail sentence and RM5,000 fine.Ahmad Saiful was found guilty by a Magistrate's Court in Kuala Lumpur.Magistrate Mohamad Aizat Abdul Rahim also ordered that the son of the former defence minister will be put under the surveillance of the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) for two years after his jail term.

The magistrate ruled that the accused will start his jail term today

According to magistrate Aizat, the prosecution was able to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt and that Ahmad Saiful's testimony was a bare denial and the testimonies of the defence witnesses were an afterthought, reported New Straits Times.While acknowledging the hardship his family would suffer due to him being jailed, the magistrate said that the court considers public interest to be higher and must give a deterrent sentence as an example.

Image via New Straits Times

He was arrested on 5 January and was charged on 13 June 2019

Following which, in January this year, the prosecution had succeeded in proving a prima facie case against Ahmad Saiful with the court ordering him to enter his defence.


[VIDEO] Tech YouTuber MKBHD Gives Us A Closer Look At The Nothing Phone (2)'s Design

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

Nothing is back with an all new phone that shines brighter and more stylishly than ever

In an exclusive reveal by tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, better known as MKBHD, we got an official first look at the Nothing Phone (2), the next flagship device from the smartphone brand that took the world by storm when it first released last year.

From left to right: Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing Phone (2).

Image via Marques Brownlee (YouTube)

When placed together side by side, it can be seen that there isn't much difference between the Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing Phone (2) visually, aside from some subtle tweaks. For starters, the Nothing Phone (2) packs a small red LED light at the top right of the phone and a slightly lighter grey colour. As for the glyph interface, the light strips around the Nothing Phone (2)'s camera are now split into two, while the rounded light strips in the middle are split into six pieces. Additionally, while the previous Nothing Phone (1) only had a total of 12 controllable light zones around the phone, the Nothing Phone (2) will have a total of 33. What this means is, we can expect the glyph interface to sport more precise and detailed features working in tandem with Nothing's software.

There's also a new Essential Notifications feature that lets you see incoming alerts by just looking at the blinking light strips at the back of the phone

Image via Marques Brownlee (YouTube)

You can do this by manually setting how a glyph reacts to notifications that you will receive, so you can be alerted of something just by looking at the light strips, as reported by TechNave. More details about the phone will be revealed on its official reveal livestream at nothing.tech on 12 July.

In the video, the panda, Meng Da could be seen sitting down while chewing lazily before a rock was hurled towards her

Fortunately, the rock did not directly hit the panda, but it caught Meng Da's attention and she got up to inspect it, thinking it was food. The person filming the video could be heard saying that it was a kid who threw the rock, while her friend seemingly told the perpetrator to “stop throwing”.According to NextShark, she claimed that the tourist threw a much bigger rock at the panda after the first video was filmed.

Zookeepers rushed to the scene after hearing about the incident

According to Bored Panda, the zookeepers stopped the tourists from throwing any more objects into the compound. Beijing Zoo also confirmed that Meng Da was not injured and is in good condition, playing and eating in her normal fashion way.

The zoo urged visitors in the zoo to observe the animals in a more civilised manner

Beijing Zoo also promised to improve the security and inspection of the panda enclosure. According to NextShark, Meng Da's compound was first built in 1981 to celebrate the 1990 Asian Games that was held in Beijing.

Last year, a female kangaroo in a Chinese zoo died after she was pelted with rocks by visitors:

They wanted to "wake" the animal up.

Malaysian Dad Goes To Singapore To Hunt Down His Daughter, Then Stabs Her 17 Times

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

A 65-year-old Malaysian man pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted murder which he committed against his daughter on 17 January last year in Singapore

At 4am on the day of the incident, widower Shoo Ah San rode his motorcycle and entered Singapore with the intention to kill his 42-year-old daughter, reported The Straits Times.Shoo rode around Marsiling Lane, where his daughter lived, in the hopes of running into her while she was on the way to work.At about 5am, Shoo — who worked as a lorry driver — saw his daughter walking towards a bus stop.The father ran towards her, lifted his helmet visor, and stabbed her repeatedly.

Police at the scene of the crime on 17 January.

"You all made me suffer so miserably," the man uttered in Cantonese as he stabbed his daughter

During the assault, Shoo tried to aim for her neck but she managed to block it.The father ran to his motorcycle after the ambush.However, a passer-by noticed the daughter's cry for help and came to assist her. When Shoo saw his daughter sitting on the grass verge, he got down from his motorcycle and launched his second attack.

Shoo asked her why she was not dead yet, before stabbing her again while ignoring the passer-by's plea to stop

Following that, Shoo went to Kaki Bukit to look for his son who worked in the area as a mechanic.The widower managed to avoid capture as he roamed around the area for five days.Local police officers finally arrested him at a coffee shop not far away from his son's workplace, reported TODAYonline.The knife used to stab the daughter was seized during the arrest and the police found notes claiming that his children were not filial. It is learnt that the man intended to carry the notes with him in his planned suicide.

According to AsiaOne, the daughter suffered 17 stabs in total. She suffered injuries to her chest, abdomen, back, shoulder, and arm.She was rushed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery.She was in physiotherapy up until June this year. Currently, she does not face any issues in her day day-to-day activities. reported TODAYonline.

It is understood that Shoo's attack stemmed from his distant relationship with his three daughters and two sons.
The matter became worse when a dispute over the ownership of a house in Johor Bahru arose.

The Straits Times reported that Shoo initially rented the house and lived in it with his three children.In 2000, the house was purchased under his daughter's name as he was an undischarged bankrupt and his son was below the age of 21 at the time.Shoo claimed that he paid for the house, but the court heard that it was the son who gave his father the money to buy the house and service the mortgage.The father moved out of the house in 2007 to work in Melaka, but still returned to the house from time to time.In 2016, the son changed the lock at the house as the father was said to have caused disruptions, such as removing the ancestral table from the house, reported CNA.Three years later, the father broke into the house and wrote on the walls with red paint that he would kill his children.He wrote that the daughter — whom he stabbed — was unfilial.

In March last year, the children decided to renovate the house and sell it in order to close the problematic chapter with their father

When Shoo saw the house was renovated, he assumed that it had been sold.He then became fixated on killing the daughter, whom he assumed was the mastermind behind the idea of selling the house.The father also despised her for not giving him money for living expenses, reported TODAYonline.He initially planned to kill her between June and August 2019, but it was delayed due to his low earnings at the time.On 16 January last year, he was pushed to commit the crime after his girlfriend kicked him out of her house, which rendered him homeless, reported The Straits Times.

Yesterday, 2 November, Shoo pleaded guilty in the local High Court to the charge of attempted murder

He might face a second charge for carrying a weapon in public when the court metes out the sentence this Friday, 5 November.Deputy public prosecutor (DPP) Zhou Yang urged the judge to send him to 16 to 18 years in jail as the crime was planned beforehand and there is no denying his malice due to stab locations.Earlier, another DPP stressed that Shoo's intent to murder was clear as he tried to aim for the daughter's neck, reported The Straits Times.Shoo's lawyer then asked for leniency and sought 10 years' imprisonment. He contended that any longer jail term would be life imprisonment due to his old age.The lawyer said Shoo was "a very lonely and disgraced father" who was estranged from his family.It is learnt that none of his children had visited him in prison.

[VIDEO] Netizens Praise Penang Pedestrian Who Smacked Motorcyclist For Running A Red Light

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

A recent TikTok video uploaded by Penang Kini showing vehicles running a red light at a pedestrian crossing in Ayer Itam, Penang has captured the attention of netizens because of one 'uncle'

In the 17-second dash cam footage, he can be seen waiting to cross the road as a silver Perodua Myvi drove past the crossing. Just as the uncle began crossing the road, a motorcyclist rides past the red light at the crossing and almost collides into the pedestrian. Almost instinctively, the uncle then swings his bag at the motorcyclist, almost hitting him in the face.

Luckily, the man was not hurt and proceeded to walk across the road along with the other pedestrians.

"Please stop and give way to pedestrians when the traffic light is red. Serves you right.." captioned Penang Kini, as a gentle reminder to those on the road to always be mindful and respectful of pedestrians.

Netizens commented how satisfied they were to see the uncle swinging his bag at the motorcyclist

The pedestrian was praised for his actions as netizens believe the motorcyclist deserved it for not obeying the laws of the road and not respecting pedestrians. Some even found the situation hilarious.

All You Need To Know About The Building That Looked Like It Was About To Collapse

A viral WhatsApp message caused panic on Monday, 23 December, for suggesting that a building under construction in the heart of Kuala Lumpur was sloping and about to collapse

Image via Twitter @ShahmiHeizen

Along with the widely forwarded picture came various forms of the message, "Opposite Pavillion, next to Pullman Hotel.""Don't go near town. Apparently building is about to collapse, heavy traffic jam."

However, the worry was uncalled for as the building in question was designed to be "curvy"

"The design is actually… for one of the towers to be… a bit curvy. Once the whole work is complete, you'd be able to see the actual intended design of the building," a spokesperson from MCC Overseas Sdn Bhd, the contractor appointed by the developer KSK Land Sdn Bhd, told New Straits Times.

Image via Twitter @KSK_Land

According to their website, the building is one of three skyscrapers in a development called 8 Conlay.The building complex will feature retail outlets at the bottom floors and three towers: a five-star Kempinski luxury hotel, and two YOO8 residential towers featuring Tower A at 68 storeys and Tower B at 57 storeys.The YOO8 residential buildings boast to be the "world's tallest spiralled twin residential towers upon completion".

Image via 8 Conlay

The tower that caused panic is Tower B of the residential buildings, which definitely features a unique curved design."Depending on the angle, the towers' unique design will make them appear as if they are 'tilted'," KSK Land told The Star, assuring that their operations and work are regularly assessed and that all safety requirements in their work are met and guaranteed.

Many netizens also offered pictures that prove that the building only appears to be precariously tilting from certain angles

This Twitter user gave a helpful picture to visualise the unfinished construction, "I think the building is only up to here, that's why it looks tilted."

Image via Twitter @azamreddy

This netizen shared a picture that clearly shows a better angle.

Image via Twitter @Ahaiyi

The property's website even documents the construction progress month-by-month, with this drone view captured last month.

Here is another viral message that caused panic this month which has since been debunked:

Eagles are also known to rely on thermal columns in the sky to save energy to fly over long distances.
