Bad Attitude Is Why Most Fresh Graduates Under SL1M Can't Get Jobs

The high dropout rate of graduates from the 1Malaysia Training Scheme (SL1M) shows that it is actually bad work ethics and attitudes that stand in the way of fresh graduates securing jobs, said SL1M secretariat head Norashikin Ismail

"Some will show up for three days, and then run off. If they get told off by their bosses, they will run off. "They are all from the 'strawberry generation'... when they don't do their jobs well and their bosses tell them off, they take offence," she said, in an exclusive interview with The Malaysian Insight recently.Strawberry generation is a term that originated in Taiwan and refers to people born after 1981 who 'bruise easily' like strawberries - overprotected by their parents and are unable to withstand societal pressures.

The government launched SL1M in 2011 to empower unemployed young graduates with the skills and experience that can enhance their marketability

Under SL1M, graduates will be placed in selected government-linked companies (GLCs) or private corporations as trainees for eight months to a year, where they are expected to build and enhance critical hard and soft skills that can increase their employability. Ideally, graduates are expected be taken in as permanent staff by the companies they trained with, but Norashikin says that doesn't happen often as most of the graduates fail to meet the most basic requirements for the jobs. "They are very proud to be graduates, but they don't want to do the work. "If you don't show initiative, and don't add value to the organisation, why would they give you a job?" she added.

Norashikin stressed that lack of skills, on the other hand, is a problem that can be easily solved, but the situation is made worse by the fact that a large number of graduates are "too lazy and demanding"

"To change their attitudes and thinking is a challenge for us, because that's really up to them. "There are those who are poor, unattractive, and unable to speak English. But if they have a positive mindset, it is easy to polish them up," opined Norashikin, adding that some SL1M trainees would even demand for higher allowance during training.

The Malaysian Insight also spoke to Armed Forces Fund Board assistant human resources manager Illya Salehudin Jaafar who told them about his experience with a SL1M trainee

"On the first day (of training), he looked happy and positive. He said it was great to be able to join SL1M. By the third day, he had disappeared," said Illya. They had apparently called the trainee multiple times to find out why he was absent and when he finally picked up the phone, the management was shocked to hear his excuse for not turning up to work.

"He apologised profusely, confessing that he was not a morning person and could not wake up in time for work. We were speechless. We couldn't say anything to a reason like that," he explained.

Illya said that employees are given the option of either starting work at 8.15am or 8.30am, stressing that the trainee wasn't even subjected to any kind of work pressure at the company. "We are dealing with a new generation that will try out a job and if they don’t think it’s suitable, they will just quit," Illya told The Malaysian Insight.

Do you think young graduates in Malaysia have bad attitude and are too demanding? Let us know in the comment section below.

Earlier this year, JobStreet's country manager Chook Yuh Yng said that poor attitude is one of the reasons why local fresh graduates can't get jobs:

                Malaysian Fresh Grads Can't Get Jobs Because They Have Attitude Problems

Looks like the inability to master the English language isn't the only reason.

10 Facts You Should Know About The Orang Asli Girls Who Survived 48 Days In The Jungle

10-year-old Norieen Yaakob and 11-year-old Miksudiar Aluj have been found safe, though gaunt and emaciated, in Sungai Perias

There is now a need to fill in the gaps behind their miraculous survival and discovery after they were reported missing along with 5 other Orang Asli kids from SK Pos Tohoi in Gua Musang on 23 August when they failed to return to their hostel for fear of being punished for bathing in a nearby river without permission.However, it cannot be done without mentioning the tragic and harrowing find of the other Orang Asli kids' decomposed bodies and skeleton remains. Police are still searching for the one remaining Orang Asli child. Be warned, for this is a story filled tragic findings and an ending which may not be so happy after all.

1.

Both the Orang Asli girls are currently receiving treatment at the Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital (HRPZII). According to a report in Astro Awani, Kelantan police chief Mazlan Lazim said that the police have yet to record statements from both the girls as they are still weak due to dehydration and are also suffering from emotional instability."We have to wait for the medical expert to give the green light before we can ask the girls about what really happened from the day they went missing to the day they were found by the search and rescue team. We have to give ample time for them to fully recover before we can get the real story," Astro Awani quoted Mazlan as saying.

2.

According to a personal account narrated by one of a journalists covering the story from The Star, one of the two Orang Asli girls, Miksudiar, when found, appeared a little more than a bag of bones with her eyes staring with a haunted look.And she whispered: "Nak makan ayam (I would like to eat some chicken)."

Mazlan, saying that the police have not detected any criminal element in the case, added that as of now, there were no elements of ill intention, of being kidnapped, or targeted for organ selling as speculated by some parties."They walked in a group, all seven of them, without anyone else guiding them. When asked why they did not walk home, they said that they were worried they would get lost while walking to Pos Tohoi," The Star quoted the Kelantan police chief as saying.

4.

According to Dr Ahmad Razin, the two girls weigh about 15kg each currently.      "There are two issues that we need to pay attention to - the serious lack of nutrition they face and their psychological state. They were also very quiet and appeared depressed and did not want to talk. When I tried to examine them, they withdrew from being examined," he said adding that the children were still traumatised.

5.

It could take between three to six months for them to fully recover.Currently, they are being given soft foods such as rice porridge, cereals and others food for a few days before doctors treating them prepare for solid food.According to HRPZII Paediatric expert Dr Nik Nasiruddin Nik Leh, both the girls will be counselled by a psychologist and are under a controlled diet to restore their weight.

6.

Quoting an Orang Asli Rela platoon leader Along Arop, a report in The Star says the two survivors looked after their friend, Ika Ayel, until she died."They told me that they looked after their friend until she died," he reportedly said. Arop was also told by the two girls that they witnessed Ika dying 5 days earlier.Ika's remains were found by SAR team searching for the missing Orang Asli kids. Her mother, Nora Tegau, identified her 9-year-old daughter's body at the morgue. "Dia Ika Ayel (She is Ika Ayel)!", Nora screamed when she recognised her daughter.

According to a statement given by Norieen to her mother, she and the other girl found are the only two who are alive and the rest of the missing Orang Asli kids are all dead."They are all dead. We are all that's left," Norieen was quoted as saying.

8.

Norieen also said that the first to die in the harsh jungle conditions was 7-year-old Juvina David. Juvina, Norieen's brother Haikal, and Linda Rosli, are yet to be accounted for. She said that after Juvina, the rest to die were Haikal, Sasa, Ika and Linda in order, and that she and Miksudiar floated the bodies of their friends downstream.

9.

According to Mazlan, Miksudiar and Norieen had to eat grass and wild fruits found around the area to survive. The SAR team found them under the roots of trees hanging on the riverbank of Sungai Perias in Gua Musang.

Norieen's mother said that 3 of the missing Orang Asli kids drowned in the river.According to The Star Online, Norieen told her mother Midah Angah that her brother, Haikal had drowned in Sg Perias. "She said she saw Haikal drinking from the river and saw him being swept away but she could not do anything about it."Midah said Norieen also told her that Sasa Sobrie was sleeping on a boulder near Sg Perias at night but was gone the next morning. The same thing happened to Linda Rosli who slept at the river bank but also disappeared after that, added Midah.

8 Things About George Soros' Open Society Foundations (OSF) & How It Affects Malaysia

Over the last week or so, you may have noticed a hoo-ha surrounding one George Soros and his charity organisation, Open Society Foundations (OSF)

A leaked document which was highlighted by DC Leaks, a website that gained fame for publishing hacked emails of US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, has been making its round on social media recently. Titled 'Malaysia Programme – Portfolio Review Outcome Summary', the document is believed to be minutes of a meeting that took place in June 2015 with representatives from the Open Society Foundations (OSF) and independent research house Merdeka Center executive director Ibrahim Suffian, amongst others.Following this, there have been speculations that this is just one of the signs that foreign powers are meddling with Malaysian affairs.

To help you understand the controversies surrounding this person and his fundings, and how Malaysia is connected, we simplify the facts below:

1. Who is this Hungarian-American billionaire-philanthropist George Soros?

Image via Akos Stiller/Bloomberg/Getty Images

A controversial figure, George Soros is best known for his namesake Soros Fund Management firm, which originally founded the OSF network in 1984 to help countries transition from communism.The charity now funds projects aimed at democracy building across the globe, although it has also provided financial support to controversial projects.  It's interesting to note that, two branches of Soros' charity network — the Open Society Foundations (OSF) and the Open Society Institute (OSI) — has been banned in Russia in December 2015 because the country deems them to be "security threats".

2. The controversial figure has a bad history with Malaysia

Image via AFP

Soros has always been seen as the mastermind behind the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis which is said to have ruined Malaysia's economy after the country enjoyed such high growth rates in the mid-90s. Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was very vocal about Soros, accusing him of playing a role in causing the economic crisis, though he later changed his views of Soros in 2006.  Meanwhile, Ministers in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong also spoke about Soros and linked him to the crisis recently. "Soros is famous for his role in the Asian financial crisis in 1998. Knowing his background, we can conclude he is not one who comes with good intentions," he was quoted as saying by The Star Online.

3. A hidden agenda. Critics said that Soros wants to influence the outcome of the country's next general election in 2018.

Image via The Wall Street Journal

According to the leaked document, OSF's 'Malaysia Programme' is working towards supporting free and fair elections in Malaysia. One of the most successful initiatives was making "grants" or providing funds to civil society groups working for a common cause. This reportedly includes Bersih, C4 Malaysia, Pusat Kesedaran Komuniti (Empower), Islamic Renaissance Front, Merdeka Centre for Opinion Research, Penang Institute, Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram), Citizen Journalists Malaysia (Sabah) and the Committee For Free Elections (Comfrel). Critics have claimed that the contents of the leaked documents suggest that Soros has an ulterior motive as OSF outlines its efforts to influence Malaysian politics. They are worried that external parties are interfering in the country's political scene and said that the fundings are provided to influence the outcome of the next general election.

4. OSF has openly denied all allegations of overthrowing the Malaysian government

Image via KwikNews

The following is the statement released by OSF on 2 November refuting all allegations that they are rigging the next general elections in Malaysia: "Claims that the Open Society Foundations funded attempts to overthrow the government in Malaysia are entirely false." "The Open Society Foundations support justice, accountability and democratic practice around the world and in Malaysia our grant-making to civil society includes efforts to promote public health, foster fair migration policies and encourage the civic and political participation of all Malaysian citizens."

5. OSF explained that it has been funding Malaysian civil society for more than a decade

Image via OSF

OSF revealed that its total funding in Malaysia averaged around USD700,000 (RM2.93 million) annually and stressed that all of its activities are non-partisan.

6. OSF has denied funding electoral watchdog Bersih 2.0 except in 2011/2012

Bersih 2.0 chairperson Maria Chin Abdullah

It said Bersih, which advocates for fair elections and anti-corruption, received small grants from OSF in 2011/2012 but is no longer receiving help. "The Open Society Foundations do not currently support Bersih," it said.

        malaysiakini.com

Bersih 2.0 chairperson Maria Chin Abdullah told Free Malaysia Today that the electoral watchdog has not received any form of funding from OSF ever since they received a one-time funding between 2010 and 2011, amounting to about RM70,000 - an amount which only made up 11% of their income at the time. Since 2011, Bersih has been relying on public donations.

7. The police are probing local media Malaysiakini over allegations of Soros funding

According to Malay Mail Online, the police are investigating Malaysiakini under Section 124C of the Penal Code for allegedly trying to undermine parliamentary democracy because they received funds from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF).It was reported that Malaysiakini admitted that it received a grant from OSF to produce the 'Realiti Sarawak' and 'Sekilas Bumi Kenyalang' programmes, adding that it only constituted a small portion of its revenue.This was revealed yesterday, 3 November, after anti-Bersih group Red Shirts' leader Datuk Jamal Yunos brought some 50 members from the group to demand an explanation on Malaysiakini's funding from OSF.

8. The Malaysian Bar Council said that it received  a sum of RM53,757.13 (USD15,000) from OSF to carry out a research study on 'Access to Justice for Migrants'

Chairperson of the Bar Council Migrants, Refugees and Immigration Affairs Committee Datuk Seri M. Ramachelvam revealed that the grant was received on 7 January 2015."It was used exclusively for the research study - payment of the researcher, transcribing and reviewing costs, consultation with stakeholders and out of pocket expenses.""None of the grants was used for the Bar Council of Malaysia's operating or administrative expenses," he said when asked to comment on an allegations that the Bar might have received financial assistance from the OSF.

IS Supporter Arrested In January 2020 Had Plotted To Assassinate 4 Govt Leaders

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

On Thursday, 25 March, Bukit Aman made a startling revelation that four government leaders under the previous Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration were assassination targets

The revelation was made by Special Branch Counter-Terrorism unit (E8) assistant director SAC Azman Omar during an online forum yesterday, reported The Star.A Malaysian man admitted to planning a lone wolf attack on several top government leaders to show his support for the Islamic State (IS), an extremist group.Leaders targeted by the man were then prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, then finance minister Lim Guan Eng, then religious affairs minister Datuk Seri Dr Mujahid Yusof, and then attorney-general Tommy Thomas."During interrogation, the suspect admitted that he planned to launch lone-wolf attacks against the then government leaders," Azman revealed."He was planning to stab them with a knife or a sharp object."

The IS supporter was arrested in January 2020, along with five other men who also supported the extremist group

Malaysiakini quoted Azman as saying that the suspects were involved in making IS propaganda videos and death threats against the country's leaders.He added that the E8 unit had arrested only seven individuals in 2020, noting that it was a significant drop in comparison to previous years.72 individuals were arrested in 2019 and 119 individuals were arrested in 2018.The seventh individual arrested last year is a Malaysian man working in Singapore. He was found to be involved in funding militant activities and planned to go to Syria.Azman said the drastic drop in arrests came after the death of the group's leader — Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi — and several prominent Malaysian militants in Syria.Although the group's influence is on a downward trend and that the counter-terrorism unit has made no arrests this year, Azman warned that it does not mean the threat of terrorism has decreased in this region.He said the E8 unit will continue monitoring all those known to sympathise with IS, reported Malay Mail.

Meanwhile, PH's presidential council demanded an explanation from Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin as to why he had "failed" to inform the leaders about the terrorist threat

Muhyiddin was the home minister at the time under the PH administration, a position that oversees the police department in the country."The presidential council wishes to convey its utmost thanks to the police for its stern action in foiling the attempt," the council said in a statement last night."At the same time, we regret Muhyiddin's attitude, who was home minister at the time, in failing to inform PH leaders and the people in general about this.""This failure raises questions on the motive behind concealing this issue from the affected leaders and the PH government. Therefore, we urge Muhyiddin to explain this matter immediately."The statement was jointly made by PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.

Meanwhile, in January this year, a New York-based group named Dr Mahathir as one of the 'top 20 most dangerous extremists' in the world:

First 7 Things You Should Try After Upgrading to iOS7

Apple's iOS 7 has been released. So here are 7 things that you should try after upgrading to the new iOS

Image via imore.com

1. How to safeguard your device from iOS 7’s lock screen bypass bug

How do you prevent this from happening until Apple issues a fix? Simple: 1. Go to “Settings.” 2. Select “Control Center.” 3. Disable “Access on Lock Screen.”

        news10.net

That neutralizes the Control Center swipe gesture on the Lock Screen, thus ensuring no one can access it, though the sad words “including you” also belong in that sentence. Control Center access outside the Lock Screen is pretty awesome, so let’s hope Apple nips this one in the bud pronto.

2. How to make text larger or smaller

With iOS 7, users can change the default size of text across the entire device, so long as developers have properly updated their apps to support the latest APIs found in iOS 7. To change the size of Dynamic Text, launch the Settings app and then select "General" followed by "Text Size."

        firstpost.com

You'll see a slider with some sample text just above it. Reposition the dial to increase or decrease the font size, using the sample text as an example of the font size you've adjusted to. When you're happy with the size, exit the Settings app. Going forward, any apps - including third-party apps - with support for Dynamic Text will then display your text using your preferred font size.

3. How to force-close apps

In the past, double-clicking the home button would reveal app icons you could then long press on and close out -- not on iOS 7.

The first thing you'll notice if you didn't catch the original demo of multitasking on iOS 7 is that double-clicking the home button no longer reveals a drawer with app icons. Instead you'll find cards, similar to what was once found on WebOS, containing a screenshot of the app with the app icon just below it.

        cnet.com

To force close an app due to freezing or troubleshooting various issues, launch into multitasking and swipe up on the app's card - not the icon - but the card itself. The two big takeaways here are: remember is to swipe up, and pressing the home button when viewing cards will always take you back to the app you were in, not the home screen.

4. How to block numbers

Let's say a user gets phone calls or messages from a number they don't want. There's now an option to block callers. You can do this with contacts, or numbers found in the Recents menu.

Click the info button on the right and scroll down to Block. The feature will block any phone calls, messages or FaceTime chats from that contact.

5. How to perform a phone search

While users would place their thumb at the very top of the screen and swipe down, users must place their thumb right near where the time is displayed. A small Search will appear.

6. How to enjoy Siri's improved voice and interface

Frustrated with Siri's inability to hear what you're trying to say? Instead of repeating yourself over and over, you can click "tap to edit" to make the change manually. You shouldn't have to with voice search, but fixing one letter is still easier than having to type in the entire phrase.

        indiatimes.com

Image via slashgear.com

Just for fun, you can give Siri a sex change by going to the settings, choosing "General," then "Siri," then "Voice Gender." You can now use Siri to change phone settings and return recent calls. And Siri will speak out turn-by-turn directions when walking. Before, the vocal instructions were limited to driving directions in Maps.

7. How to improve the battery life

To disable it, access Settings, select Background App Refresh and toggle the switch to off. However, it may be better to do this on an App by App basis as turning this off will also mean functions such as GPS will not run in the background.

        techcrunch.com

Turning off AirDrop will also help to save batteries. This new feature constantly searches for other iPhones or iPads nearby, so turning it off will reduce the drain on power. Simply swipe up to open the Control Centre and double tap on the AirDrop logo and turn it off.

Untethered iOS 7 Jailbreak Arrives For iPhone, iPad, And iPod Devices

Just in time for Christmas, the Evasi0n team has released an iOS 7 compatible Jailbreak

iOS jailbreakers woke up to an early Christmas present this morning as the hacking group evad3rs released the first version of evasi0n7, the first jailbreak for iOS 7.

        forbes.com

It’s such a surprise that even the developer behind the popular Cydia jailbreak app store didn’t know that a jailbreak was released.

        gottabemobile.com

Image via gottabemobile.com

This new one is compatible with all models of the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and iPad mini that are running iOS 7 to 7.0.4, and there are downloads available for both Mac OS X and Windows, meaning that everyone can get in on the device-freeing fun.

        phonedog.com

For those that are new to jailbreaking, this type of hack removes the restrictions of iOS hardware that've been put in place by Apple

It allows users to install apps and other software from sources other than the official App Store.

        phonedog.com

Image via gawkerassets.com

This new "evasi0n7" tool is the first to offer an untethered iOS 7 jailbreak, meaning that those folks that rely on certain jailbreak-only apps finally have the option of moving to iOS 7 while retaining access to Cydia and all of the goodies inside.

        gottabemobile.com

The evasi0n7 website says that jailbreaking an iOS device will only take about 5 minutes, and the tool itself looks pretty simple to use. Still, you should follow the steps carefully if you decide to pull the jailbreak trigger and use evasi0n7.

        phonedog.com

Image via gawkerassets.com

Because this is a new release and it's running on fresh Apple hardware, some jailbreak apps and software may be a little wonky. That ought to change in the coming days, though, as developers and hackers jailbreak their iOS 7-powered hardware and are able to test and update their wares.

Terengganu Lecturer Arrested For Offering Student RM500 To Be Her Sugar Daddy

A lecturer at a university in Dungun, Terengganu was arrested last month for offering a 19-year-old student RM500 to be her sugar daddy

Malaysiakini reported that the man, who is in his 50s, was arrested on 24 June by local police. According to Sin Chew Daily, he is currently out on police bail while investigations on the case are ongoing.

The man allegedly offered to be the victim's sugar daddy on 23 June

According to Malaysiakini, the student claimed that the lecturer called her to his office at around 9am on 23 June before locking the door behind her. The suspect then proposed a RM500 monthly payment to the victim as her "sugar daddy", which included sex and "other activities" such as holding her breasts. Sinar Harian reported that the victim immediately rejected the man's request.

However, the student claimed that the man stopped her from leaving the room before she agreed to meet him the following day."He allowed me to leave the room and asked me to take a photograph with him. Suddenly, he held my shoulders, pulled me towards him, and tried to kiss me on the lips," the student said in her police report, according to Malaysiakini. The victim managed to dodge the suspect and left the room.

The case was then reported to the police by the victim on 24 June

Sin Chew Daily reported that the suspect offered to pay for sexual favours again after calling the victim to his office on 24 June. The 19-year-old then decided to lodge a police report after the incident as she feared that the suspect would do the same to other students. "I hope the authorities will take appropriate action on the lecturer as he has traumatised me, especially as I continue to study at this college," the student added in her report, according to Malaysiakini.

The student's report was confirmed by the Dungun district police

Dungun district police chief Supt Baharuddin Abdullah told Sinar Harian that the case is being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code for assault or use of criminal force on a person with intent to outrage modesty.

[VIDEO] Neighbours Break Into Apartment Unit To Put Out Fire Whilst Tenant Sleeps Soundly

On Friday, 22 July, at approximately 8pm, a fire broke out in an apartment unit at the Kelana Puteri Condominium complex, Petaling Jaya

Documented through a video posted on TikTok, the user by the name of Kelven Chuah recounted that when he and his family were at home, they smelt something burning. They thought that maybe something caught on fire in their own home but upon further investigation, they realised that the burning smell was coming from a unit, a floor below their own.

Smoke (circled red) was seen rising from one of the condominium units.

Acting quickly, Chuah and his father rushed downstairs and found an apartment unit on fire

Although the front door was open, the gate was locked shut and prevented them from entering the apartment unit to help. They had no choice but to procure a hammer in order to break the gate open and enter the unit. Whilst his father was trying to open the gate, Chuah rushed to the apartment lobby to alert the security guards on duty.

It wasn't long before the gate gave way from hammering as a fire extinguisher was brought to the scene by one of the security guards

One of the security guards entered the unit and put out the flame with the fire extinguisher. The video showed a guard rushing into the unit without hesitation and promptly extinguished the fire.

Image via @kelvenchuah (TikTok)

Once the fire had been successfully put out, they checked the apartment to see if there was anyone at home

It was then the tenant, still unaware of the issue, appeared from one of the rooms and began to yell at them. It turns out that he had been sleeping all this while and did not smell the smoke nor did he hear any of the commotion. Those who were there at the scene told him sternly that his apartment had been on fire and he could have been harmed.The tenant was promptly brought out of the unit and was reported to be unharmed. There were no other reported injuries as well.

It turns out the fire started due to some prayer items catching fire before spreading to other materials in the house

Speaking to SAYS, Chuah sent a video showing the extent of the damage caused by the fire. The video shows the walls of the apartment have been blackened by the flames. Aside from the blackened walls and the prayer items that have been turned to ash, the fire looked to be mostly isolated to one area. No other items or furniture was damaged aside from the Wi-Fi router that was sitting close to the fire.

Netizens commented under Chuah's TikTok video were very impressed by how quickly and efficiently the dangerous situation was handled

Netizens praised the the security guard who bravely stormed into the unit to extinguish the fire. The other guards were also given a thumbs up for helping with the situation.One user said, "This security guard is really amazing. He should be promoted to head of security. Really brave of him to enter. I think others would have just allowed it [the apartment] to be destroyed." "You are the best brother. Deserve to be promoted. Deserve to be praised. Sincere when carrying out your duties. So brave. The best," another user wrote.

Other netizens mentioned how the whole situation could have ended badly if it weren't for the observant neighbours and efficient security staff."There are many cases like this. Falling asleep and never waking up and many victims die because of carbon monoxide poisoning before [the building is] burned and destroyed," said a user.

Penguatkuasaan larangan penggunaan skuter elektrik di atas jalan raya atau kawasan selain yang digazetkan di bandar raya Kuala Lumpur akan dilakukan bermula 1 Januari 2021

Menurut laporan, tindakan undang-undang di bawah Akta Pengangkutan Jalan (APJ) 1987 boleh dikenakan terhadap individu yang ingkar.Ketua Jabatan Siasatan dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik (JSPT) Kuala Lumpur ACP Zulkefly Yahya berkata, penggunaan skuter elektrik hanya dibenarkan di tempat yang digazetkan seperti di taman-taman permainan, kawasan penjalan kaki dan kawasan sekitar pusat beli-belah di ibu negara.“Penunggang skuter elektrik tidak dibenarkan untuk menggunakannya di atas jalan raya kerana ia menganggu pengguna jalan raya yang lain, boleh mendatangkan bahaya atau terlibat kemalangan," katanya.

Terima banyak aduan daripada orang awam mengenai tindakan penunggang skuter elektrik yang menunggang di atas jalan raya di ibu negara

“Setakat ini, polis telah mengenal pasti tiga kawasan aktif penggunaan skuter berkenaan di ibu negara, iaitu di sekitar Dataran Merdeka, KLCC dan Bukit Bintang.“Pihak polis sedang memantau orang ramai yang bermain skuter itu di atas jalan raya dan setakat ini, kami tidak mengambil tindakan dan hanya menasihatkan dahulu sebelum tindakan mula dikenakan pada 1 Januari depan,” katanya.

Perlu mohon lesen kebenaran khas daripada JPJ jika mahu menggunakan skuter berkenaan di atas jalan raya

Zulkefly berkata, setelah dikuatkuasakan, individu yang didapati bersalah boleh dikenakan hukuman di bawah Seksyen 54 APJ 1987 dengan kesalahan pertama didenda sebanyak RM300 dan kesalahan kedua, boleh didenda sebanyak RM1,000 atau penjara tiga bulan.Penggunaan skuter elektrik mula diperkenalkan pada Mei lepas dan kini menjadi semakin popular dalam kalangan masyarakat kerana ia memudahkan pergerakan khususnya mereka yang berjalan kaki dan menaiki pengangkutan awam.Kenderaan skuter elektrik tergolong di bawah takrifan Kenderaan Mikromobiliti. Di bawah pindaan terbaharu APJ (Oktober 2020) Seksyen 2 (b) takrifan bagi kenderaan mikromobiliti bermaksud, ‘mana-mana kenderaan yang dipacu oleh sumber elektrik, enjin pembakaran dalam atau kuasa manusia atau gabungan sumber elektrik, enjin pembakaran dalam atau kuasa manusia dan mempunyai kelajuan maksimum 50km sejam.

Melaka Exco Clarifies 'Disney City' Is Just A Plan & Not A Finalised Deal

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

Melaka state executive council (exco) member Datuk Muhammad Jailani Khamis has clarified that the opening of a Disney-themed park in the state was actually just a preliminary plan

Speaking during a press conference at the Tourism Promotion Division (BPP) in Kota Cemerlang today, 18 November, the exco for Tourism, Heritage, and Culture of Melaka explained that the proposed 'Disney City' plan has not reached the agreement stage."I apologise for the confusion about Disney City or Disneyland because this is the plan of the company (KCI Metrolink Sdn Bhd), which the plan also involves the development of a magnetic train system (to connect tourist spots). If possible, there would be a 'spot' for Disney or Disney mini theme park," he told the state press, Melaka Hari Ini."We have never said that we have signed an agreement or any MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) or MoA (Memorandum of Agreement) with any Disney party, we have never said that."

Melaka state executive council (exco) member Datuk Muhammad Jailani Khamis.

Elaborating further, Muhamad Jailani said he and KCI Metrolink had made a mistake on the matter because the company had only informed their intention to bring Disney to Melaka

"What was being speculated was that it seemed to be an agreement, (actually) it was not (an agreement)," he explained."This is our plan to develop the state for the benefit of the people so that our economy is more vibrant and relevant in the next five years. Is it wrong for me to plan?""To me, we are planning, don't assume that (the deal) has been sealed. So if Disney does not wish or want (to build a theme park here), we cannot force it.""We want Disneyland because the theme park is a form of family tourism. So when the company approached us and told us their desire to meet with (the management of) Disneyland, (we said) please (do so)."

On 16 November, local media outlets reported that the most magical place on earth was coming to Jasin, Melaka

In the report that SAYS cited Melaka Hari Ini, Muhamad Jailani said the Disney-themed park in Jasin will be the first in ASEAN.The state news portal reported that "a Disney-themed park and a Disney City with an area of approximately 80.9 hectares, which is the largest in Southeast Asian countries, will be developed in the Jasin district in 2027"."After more than 20 years, we will have a new theme park," Melaka Hari Ini quoted Muhamad Jailani as saying, adding, "Even though it is not that big, I feel it is commendable enough (that we manage to) bring in Disneyland." "Disneyland is in the pipeline, we are planning the possibility of it being built in the Jasin district, God willing, we cannot reveal the exact location, but the area is around 150 acres to 200 acres (60.7 hectares to 80.9 hectares)."SAYS also reported that the Melaka government is planning to develop a 22km 'Maglev' system, for which the proposed project has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).Not only did the wording in the Melaka Hari report made people believe that the plan was real, but Melaka TV also showed footage of Muhamad Jailani making the announcement of 'Disney City'.Malaysia's national news outlet Bernama reported on the issue as well, but the articles published on other news sites were later taken down.Melaka Hari Ini and Melaka TV can both be found on the Melaka government's official website under the 'Latest Info' section.
