Malaysian universities have failed yet again to feature in the latest Times Higher Education World Reputation rankings released today, a sign that local varsities are losing ground to not only top universities in the world, but to those within Southeast Asia.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Malaysia had never been featured on the list, which was into its fourth year, despite Putrajaya’s goals to make Malaysia an education hub for the region and attract some 200,000 students to local universities by 2020.

Man Who Revealed Where Jho Low Is Living To MACC Has Suddenly Died

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

Kee Kok Thiam, a suspect in the 1MDB scandal, returned to Malaysia on 3 May. The same day, he went to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and revealed fugitive Jho Low's whereabouts.
Less than a month after his return, Kee has suddenly died.

MACC has confirmed Kee's death, according to New Straits Times."Yes [...] a suspect we had detained has died," the English daily quoted a source as saying.The confirmation comes after an obituary notice on Kee's death was circulated yesterday, 30 May.According to Malay Mail, a senior official from the anti-graft agency also confirmed receiving news of Kee's death, adding that the latter had been released after being questioned by the commission.While none of the MACC sources revealed anything further, multiple reports, including Free Malaysia Today, stated that the 56-year-old is believed to have died from a "sudden illness".However, amidst speculations, Kee's lawyers, Valen, Oh and Partners, released a statement today, 31 May, stating that he died of a stroke on Monday, 29 May, reported New Straits Times."He died in a hospital of a sudden massive stroke. We urge all parties not to entertain any speculation on this unfortunate event and allow the family the space to grieve his passing," the statement said.

Kee Kok Thiam's obituary.

Kee had been described as Low's close associate

The financier, whose full name is Low Taek Jho and has been on the run since 2016, had reportedly warned Kee about returning to Malaysia and helping with the investigation.On the day Kee arrived at KLIA Terminal 2, he was ordered to be present at the MACC's headquarters in Putrajaya at 10am, following which, investigators recorded his statement and searched his house.During questioning by the MACC, Kee confirmed meeting Low in Macau.Additionally, Kee told the investigators that he also met fellow 1MDB fugitives and suspects — Eric Tan Kim Loong, Casey Tang Keng Chee, Geh Choh Heng, and Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, according to Malay Mail.

In September last year, journalists Tom Wright and Bradley Hope claimed that this photo allegedly shows Jho low at a shopping mall in Macau, China.

Kee was released as no charges had been laid against him, however, MACC's investigation on Kee was focused on his assets in Singapore

MACC said investigators had been gathering intelligence since the government issued a travel ban against 1MDB suspects, including Kee, soon after the 2018 general election, as per an Al Jazeera report.MACC shared with Al Jazeera that their investigation on Kee has been completed, with the investigation paper submitted to the Attorney General's office for the next course of action.Meanwhile, Malay Mail quoted sources as saying that Kee was suspected of receiving money originating from 1MDB's misappropriated funds through Yayasan Rakyat 1Malaysia (YR1M) and SRC International through the bank account of a company known as Wright Shaw Limited.Previously, the company's bank account, which contained around USD5.2 million (RM23 million), was seized by MACC with the cooperation of the Singapore police's Commercial Affairs Department.

In April, a Grammy Award-winning rapper was convicted of conspiring with Low, who paid RM89 million for a photo with the Obamas:

Lim Kit Siang: "I Never Expected To See A Change Of Federal Govt In My Lifetime"

For a man who spent five decades of his life on the losing side, it's natural for him to not have any hope of ever being on the side of the winning team. But what does he has to say now that his party has achieved what no one thought was even possible to dream?

The man we are talking about is DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang, the 77-year-old leader who after spending almost 50 years of his life in the opposition now finds himself being a part of the Federal Government as a result of the historic 14th general election.Today, 10 June, marks a month since the Pakatan Harapan coalition, he and his party are part of, took over Putrajaya with a promise to rebuild Malaysia.In an interview with The Malaysian Insight, the DAP leader, who declined to be in the Cabinet because he believes there are "enough young and idealistic talents" to serve, says he will continue to play his role to build a New Malaysia, where we treat each other as fellow-Malaysians and be "a beacon of light in a disturbed and distracted world."

Image via Lim Kit Siang/Twitter

While speaking to The Malaysian Insight, the DAP supremo, who is fondly referred to as 'Uncle' by Malaysians, said that while there was a possibility of political change in GE14, he never really expected Pakatan Harapan to win the Federal Government

"I never expected to see a change of federal government in my lifetime," he told The Malaysian Insight, adding that "it was a dream come true not only for me but for entire generations of Malaysians – particularly those in the 60s, 70s, and above.""It was a unique experience  – the feeling of hope renewed, a Malaysia reborn, of being given a second chance to reset nation-building policies."

Image via The Malaysian Insight

When asked about Dr Mahathir and Anwar, Kit Siang said that he believes that time and the circumstances of the country in the years leading up to the 14th general election have changed both the men

"I believe Mahathir of today is very different from Mahathir who was Prime Minister of Malaysia for 22 years from 1981- 2003. He has transformed from a hegemon to a consensus-builder," the DAP leader told The Malaysian Insight.According to him, the country, under Tun Dr Mahathir and Pakatan Harapan coalition, is now in good hands and "Malaysians can dare to dream again – and dream big."

Why Interns Get Paid So Little In Malaysia And What You Can Do If You're One Of Them

Ever feel like you’re getting paid almost nothing to do almost everything as an intern?

Image via Giphy

You work 40 hours (and OT) just like your colleagues, have to endure being the butt of all intern jokes, and end up eating Maggi everyday because that’s the only thing you can afford with your measly allowance.

A simple search on JobStreet.com or Glassdoor.com will give you a rough idea of how much interns in Malaysia earn—usually between RM300 to RM1,000

Interns in F&B or hospitality may get around RM300 monthly, while those in media or advertising can expect to receive around RM500. Working in banks, bigger MNCs, and tech companies could give you a higher salary upwards of RM700, but it is also dependent on which company you apply to.Nevertheless, there are interns who earn less than that, and some whose internships are unpaid. Even if you're fortunate enough and don't have to pay rent, your internship allowance still may not be enough to cover basic needs like transport and food.

While it's usual for interns around the world to get low or no pay, in recent times we have seen people stepping out to challenge this convention

Image via Global News

Just a few months ago, 55,000 students in Canada staged a week-long protest against unpaid internships by walking out of their classes and boycotting their ongoing internships. Essentially, these students were unhappy they were “paying the educational institution for the privilege to work for free”.

By definition, an internship could technically be paid or unpaid:

Image via SAYS

In Malaysia, while interns may be expected to do tasks similar to a full-time employee, the focus should be "primarily for [the intern's] own benefit". The main goal is for interns to gain real-world experience related to their field of study. Often, internships are part of university course requirements, although they can be done on a voluntarily basis.Whether an internship is paid or unpaid is completely up to employers—who are not required by law to pay interns who have not entered into a "contract of service".While most companies in Malaysia do pay their interns, certain industries are more prone to having unpaid internships. For instance, medical students who intern in hospitals usually do not get paid. Interns with a background in culinary arts also often find themselves in the same boat.

If unpaid or low-wage internships are said to be the norm, why is there a mismatch of expectations between what interns think they can offer and what employers think of them?

It's common for Malaysian employers to perceive interns as “short-term, unskilled, and student-minded”. According to the recruiting experts at Hays Malaysia, the main reason why companies pay interns so little is because they “bring less experience and skills to the table” than their full-time counterparts.On the flip side, interns often believe they have so much to offer. This mismatch of expectations causes frustration on both sides. Interns feel undervalued, and employers feel interns are not worth the investment of their time, effort, or money.

So how can we bridge the gap between employers and interns?

Image via Unsplash

It will take a paradigm shift from both sides, but it can definitely start from raising the bar of our interns in Malaysia.

If you are an intern or are looking for an internship, here is how you can make a difference:

1. Be resourceful

Image via SAYS

Your supervisor's role is to supervise, not babysit. You don't need to come in knowing everything, but it's up to you to pick up skills and solve problems. The faster you can do that, the sooner you'll do meaningful work.

2. Be vocal

Image via SAYS

Many interns come and go without leaving an impression. You may feel insecure about speaking up, but companies actually appreciate the fresh perspective you bring. So don't worry about saying the wrong thing; speak up and make your presence felt!

3. Be hungry

Image via SAYS

Seriously though, never stop asking questions. Understand why things are done a certain way, and take the initiative to explore and go beyond what you're tasked to do. This kind of drive is what elevates you from intern-level to potential-full-timer.

4. Be sociable

Image via SAYS

Sometimes, it's less about what you can do as an intern, and more of who you are as a person. As you try your best to impress and stand out, don't neglect the relational aspect of work—people like working with people they like.

Whether you're interning to fulfill course requirements or on voluntary basis, when companies begin to see your value, that's when you'll be entrusted to do work with real business impact

"If you’re an intern, make sure you fight back on the work you’ve been given to do and try seeking out work that adds value to the company you’re with. Over time, companies will start to see the value of having good interns and naturally raise the [salary] bar," says Tracy Yap, HR Manager at General Electric.

While most hiring managers acknowledge that the internship culture is still not very strong in Malaysia, companies can also be a part of the solution

Image via Glassdoor

After spending over three years as Piktochart's People Success Officer, Shen Dee has found one of the secrets to having good interns—treating them like full-time employees."Employers who treat interns like full-time employees will motivate them to go the extra mile, which is a win for the company. It can also save the employer’s time in hiring if the intern proves themselves to be capable."

Here at SAYS, we pride ourselves in our internship program, and we have interns from various backgrounds coming in all-year long

You don't have to be a writer to work at SAYS! We've had people from aerospace engineering, medicine, biology, and even fashion design who have joined the team."We love our interns at SAYS and treat them like our full-timers in the office. When you give interns ownership, they will believe in what they do and take the initiative to discover new things. We’ve offered many of our interns a permanent position and we love it when they become full-timers!" says Judith Yeoh, Head of Content and Editorial at SAYS.

Ultimately, your internship could turn out to be one of the best times in your career

So, don't sweat the salary for now. It won't matter much if you're earning a few hundred ringgit less than your friends. Because five years down the road, it's your learning experience and people you've met along the way that will make all the difference.

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

A maskless Caucasian man, who verbally abused and made lewd gestures at security guards at the Village Grocer M City Ampang branch and refused to abide by the mask mandate, has been arrested

The man was arrested last night, 19 April, when he presented himself for questioning at the Wanga Maju district police headquarters, according to Wangsa Maju district police chief Supt Ashari Abu Samah."The detainee is a Canadian man, who works and resides in Kuala Lumpur," he said in a statement.

Wearing face masks in public places is mandatory in Malaysia

Those who refuse to wear one can be fined under Rule 16 (1) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Rules 2021. It carries a fine of up to RM1,000 or a jail term of up to six months or both.

Prior to his arrest, the man was caught in a video verbally abusing the guards inside the supermarket when he was asked to wear a mask:

Dua Kanak-Kanak Ghaib Selama 2 Jam Selepas Diajak Bermain Di Kolam Oleh “Seorang Wanita”

Seringkali juga kita dengar tentang manusia yang 'hilang' secara tiba-tiba dan dikatakan disorok oleh mahkluk asing atau lebih mudah dikenali sebagai 'bunian'
Malah, alam ghaib ini masih lagi menjadi tanda tanya setiap manusia. Adakah ianya benar-benar wujud atau tidak?

Persoalan ini sering dibincangkan apabila sesuatu yang aneh berlaku contohnya apabila ahli keluarga yang keluar bermain bersama rakan, akhirnya tidak pulang ke rumah kerana telah 'disorok' dan 'dibawa' ke alam yang lain.Apakah ianya benar?

Sama ada benar atau tidak, perkara itu tidak tercapai dek akal manusia.
Namun baru-baru ini, dua orang kanak-kanak dikatakan telah hilang selama 2 jam di dalam hutan setelah selesai sesi persekolahan. Sangat misteri!

Image via Pesugihan

Kanak-kanak yang dikenali sebagai Nurul Husna Abdul Hadi, 6 tahun dan Nik Nur Arisa Nik Mohd Zurairi, 6 tahun ini telah dikatakan hilang sejurus selesai sesi persekolahan kira-kira jam 12:30 tengahari.

Mereka telah diajak oleh seorang 'wanita' untuk bermain di kolam dan menangkap ikan sebaik sahaja mereka keluar dari pagar tadika

Image via Tips dan Trik Umroh Dari Ahli Untuk Anda

Menurut sumber, Nik Nur Arisa telah berniat untuk pulang malam esoknya. Namun, sepupunya, Nurul Husna ingin pulang keesokan pagi. Lebih misteri apabila mereka mengatakan ternampak kelibat datuknya, Ismail Mat namun mereka tidak dapat dilihat oleh datuknya.

Arisa dan Husna telah ditemui pada jam 2:30 petang selepas 50 orang penduduk kampung mengadakan usaha mencari dan solat hajat di surau yang berdekatan

Image via Sinar Harian Online

Ibu Nurul Husna telah berkata dia tidak menolak kemungkinan yang anaknya itu telah disembunyikan oleh 'bunian' kerana tempat yang kononnya dikatakan 'kolam' tersebut adalah tempat keras dan merupakan kawasan kubur lama.Malah, ianya menjadi tanda tanya kerana tempat itu dikatakan hanya ada bendang padi, belukar dan kawasan itu juga bukan laluan penduduk.Lebih menghairankan lagi apabila berfikir bagaimana anaknya boleh sampai ke kawasan itu kerana menurut ibunya, jarak tempat itu adalah 200 meter dari rumah sedangkan dia sudah sampai awal untuk menjemput anaknya pulang dari sekolah.

The incident, which happened on a highway in Malaysia, was recorded and uploaded by Facebook user David Chong on 3 February. Though it was eventually taken down, the video had found its way to several community pages on Facebook, such as KL吹水站.

“This guy thinks he can be a road bully just because he drives a Singapore-registered car.”

At the start of the video, it was clear that driver in the Singapore-registered Volkswagen deliberately drove slower than usual in the fast lane as cars on the other lanes drove past it.

Though the car behind the Volkswagen switched to the middle lane, the Singapore-registered car followed suit and deliberately slowed down again despite an empty lane ahead

It remains unclear what had caused the incident to happen.

In addition to Malaysians, even Singaporean netizens were not too pleased with the driver’s reckless actions

It was previously reported that the fight ensued after a disagreement between the customer and a restaurant employee over the method of payment

Police initially investigated the incident under 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt after receiving police reports from both sides claiming that they were assaulted."The police have reclassified the case under Section 447 and 427 of the Penal code for destruction of property, as well as Section 160 of the Penal Code for committing affray," said Arifai.

The fight was caught on camera and went viral on social media:

The Unspoken Bond A Malaysian Can't Deny Even When Overseas

Did you know the Malaysian passport is eighth best in the world? Together with our abundance of public holidays, it's no wonder we have such an insatiable thirst for travelling.

Malaysian passport was ranked the eighth best in the world for travellers in a recent survey, based on the number of visa-free countries its holders can travel to out of 174 destinations.

        themalaymailonline.com

Image via listabuzz.com

According to the 2014 Visa Restrictions Index, holders of Malaysian passports can travel to 166 countries without visas; compared to Finland, Germany, Sweden, USA and the United Kingdom passports which can access all 174 destinations visa-free.

        themalaymailonline.com

With 14 national holidays covering 16 days, Malaysia is in the global top 10 in terms of number of public holidays, with one survey ranking us at seventh.

        thestar.com.my

If anything, the fact that AirAsia has flown over 300 million guests (!!!) alone is able to prove that point. Everyone can fly, indeed.

AirAsia, the world’s “best low-cost airline” for seven consecutive years,  reached another milestone with 300 million guests flown. AirAsia reached its 100-millionth milestone in October 2010, and celebrated the 200-millionth mark three years later in September 2013. In a little less than two years, the number of guests flown across the group has grown to 300 million.

It's hard to resist the temptation to jet off either for a quick trip or a nice, long travel when there are promos happening all year round to countless destinations

Check out these awesome AirAsia flight deals, with popular destinations across Asia and Australia like Osaka, Melbourne, Perth, Seoul, Siem Reap, Manila, Goa, just to name a few.

It's also a reality that many would choose to travel, study and live abroad. In 2010, it was reported that there are 700,000 Malaysians living abroad.

Image via leaderonomics.com

About 700,000 Malaysians are currently living abroad, with half of them in Singapore, while the rest can be found mostly in Australia, Britain and the United States.

        themalaysianinsider.com

However, whether it's been years or months overseas, there is still an unspoken bond that unites Malaysians even when we're in foreign lands - even when we could be complete strangers

Image via Malaysians of Melbourne University (MoMU)

You know when you see an Asian you're dying to hear the person say a "lah" or speak in that familiar Malaysian accent! There is a certain ease that comes naturally when meeting another Malaysian. The familiarity means that there isn't a need to explain things to each other and being amongst them always feels like being at home.

Image via @shueylovespugs/Instagram

You face instantly brightens up when someone says, "Hey, you're from Malaysia? I'm from KL!"

We may be far away from our homeland, but we can easily find comfort in the Malaysian communities in other countries

Image via The Star Online

We just can't help but stick together! Many choose to become a part of a Malaysian society or association in university or the community they live in. It's comforting to know that you can easily identify and connect with your fellow compatriots. But really, it's so that you have people to celebrate Malaysian occasions and festive seasons with, so you don't feel like a sad, lonely person.

Image via @ocfernando/instagram

“There are Malaysian associations – be it for social or business purposes – in many parts of the world. These are effective platforms that bring fellow countrymen together for common purposes,” explains Lim [the wife of High Commissioner of Malaysia to Ghana].

When the homesickness hits, we cure it the best way we know how - recreating our favourite Malaysian dishes

Image via Hert Malaysian Society/Facebook

It's no secret that Malaysians love food and eating. This relationship that we have with our culinary haven is so ingrained in our daily lives and our way of life, it's hard to part with even when we're abroad. It's almost an impossible task to find a person who doesn't miss Malaysian food while they are away. We also can't help ourselves but to introduce and share our delicious and unique cuisine with foreigners.

Image via Auckland Malaysian Society

When there's good food, the best to throw into the mix is to have good company to share those delicious noms with. When Malaysians host get-togethers, you know that there's gonna be lots of eating, laughing, sharing of stories and reminiscing the good times. Also, did we mention lots of eating, yet?

Image via The Guardian

Suddenly the things that annoyed you about Malaysia makes you miss it more, and you also realise the things you have been taking for granted

The thought of your mum's nagging and how she would have overreacted brings a smile to your face. That special brand of sense of humour only Malaysians will get doesn't seem so lame and embarrassing anymore. After seeing the malls in other countries, maybe the ones back home aren't so bad after all. Suddenly the smallest and most trivial things about home are able to pull at your heartstrings.

You'll start to grow attached to that Malaysian restaurant in town or that Asian grocer that sells your favourite pack of instant noodles or just about anything that reminds you of home

Tears will roll down your eyes as you eat your first mouthful of nasi lemak after months of battling with the craving. They're not tears of joy either. They're tears of pain because SO EXPENSIVE!!

However, what really hits home is when there's a big celebration or festive season back home, and there you are, in a different timezone

Image via mysarawak2.blogspot.my

You miss birthdays, anniversaries, special traditions back home. When it's Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Hari Raya or any other festivity, your Facebook timeline gets flooded with photos of friends and families back home celebrating together, while you're miles away.

Image via LCYee's/Flickr

When it's holiday time where you are and you see locals returning home to their families also makes you miss that warm, fuzzy feeling of celebrating the holiday with your loved ones back home.

There's no denying the pride you feel when you spot Malaysian products or establishments in foreign countries, and especially seeing the locals in the country enjoying our food

Image via Wikipedia

Never have you found yourself exclaiming, "It's Malaysian!" with that much pride when you spot Malaysian things in foreign countries or seeing people from all over the world trying and enjoying Malaysian dishes. The first time you spot a Proton car overseas probably had you stunned, followed by an intense photo-snapping session to show it to everyone back home or other fellow Malaysians.

Being abroad has given you the chance to meet new people, experience a different culture, but also equips you with a newfound appreciation for the beauty of Malaysia

Image via Auckland Malaysian Society

It makes you realise how lucky we have it with our diversity and unique culture. Living in a multiracial nation with acquaintances and interaction with people of various ethnicity and all walks of life prepared us for an open mind. We are able to adapt and be understanding of other culture, societies and lifestyle.

You have a better understanding that sometimes the phrase "the grass is always greener on the other side" is just a mindset - one that can be found anywhere

Image via quotivee.com

At the end of the day, you know that Malaysia will always be in your heart

Image via netdna-cdn.com

Because there's a certain sense of calm and peace when you hear the pilot say, “And to all Malaysians, selamat pulang, ke tanah air”

You can take a Malaysian out of Malaysia, but you can't take Malaysia out of a Malaysian. ;)

The constant longing to fly back home is a periodic feat of looking for the most affordable flights and coordinating calendars among loved ones, across continents.

Whether you're setting off on new adventures, reuniting with families, going on business trips, or whatever it is, you can count on AirAsia to be there for you now and many more years to come.

From now until 25 October 2015, AirAsia has some irresistible flight deals for some famous destinations across Asia and Australia from RM29 onwards! Get them now HERE.

Russian Reports Claim Sultan Muhammad V And Oksana Are Having 'Troubles' In Their Marriage

Former Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V and Miss Moscow 2015 Oksana Voevodina made international headlines last year following their alleged marriage in Russia

Image via Nursafhiya/Twitter

The unexpected ceremony, which took the nation by surprise, reportedly took place on 23 November in Moscow, Russia. Media outlets claimed that the royal 'wedding' had  incorporated both Malay and Russian traditions.

While there was no official confirmation from the Malaysian government on the union, the couple were reported earlier this year to be 'expecting their first baby'

"The couple is expecting their first baby and has fully devoted themselves to the future offspring," an anonymous source reportedly told Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda (KP).The 25-year-old Russian model had converted to Islam last April before 'marrying' 49-year-old Sultan Muhammad V, who stepped down as king in January this year.

Image via East2West News

Russian newspaper Izvestia recently reported that the marriage is facing some serious 'troubles' and the couple is on the "brink of divorce"

According to News.com.au, the pair had been having frequent quarrels. Russian news outlet Tolko Nikomu also revealed that the marriage is "likely to be over" and that they are in the midst of "preparing the necessary documents", Mirror UK reported.

Image via The Sun

However, the bride's dad has since rubbished reports.Surgeon Andrey Gorbatenko was quoted as saying that, "It's nonsense. I do not read the internet but I would have been the first to know."

Oksana's father previously revealed how he felt about the king:

                Here's What Oksana Voevodina's Father Has To Say About Sultan Muhammad V

Oksana's father, Andrey Gorbatenko, recently spoke to pro-Kremlin newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda about the Sultan.

[NANDINI SAYS] Simple Tamil Words You Can Use To Order At A Mamak

We Malaysians love our mamak restaurants.

Wah, I don't want to imagine life without these things! As a Tamil-speaking person, ordering at a mamak is usually a breeze for me, especially since most of the workers are South Indians who are sometimes fresh off the boat. But I've seen some non-Tamil speaking friends sometimes struggle with ordering at the mamak or trying to customise their orders.

So, here are some words and phrases in Tamil to make ordering and eating at a mamak easier for you:

Police Are Looking For This Store Thief And The "Unglam" Photo They Used Is Too Epic

Singaporean police are looking for a chips thief.
Yep, you read that right.

On 22 August, Marine Parade NPC appealed to the public about a theft that took place at a Guardian outlet in 112 Katong.

Image via 4square

In a Facebook post, the police asked if anyone has information about a woman who stole from the store on 18 August.

The poster shared on social media included CCTV snapshots of the casually dressed young woman caught in the act

While the police did not disclose exactly how many items were stolen from the Guardian outlet by the woman, one thing is being speculated based on their choice of photos.

Image via Facebook

A bag of chips were one of them, and she was quick to get rid of the evidence.

Image via Facebook

Amused netizens could not help but poke fun at two things: The police's choice of photo to spread awareness of the woman's crime, and the fact that she can clearly be seen wearing AirPods

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

Image via Facebook

AirPods are sold by Apple for RM879 (SGD290) with a wireless charging case or RM699 (SGD231) without a regular charging case.

However, several Facebook users gave the chips lover the benefit of the doubt by arguing that she may have simply forgotten to pay for the items she took

Image via Facebook

"Eat and forgot to pay," a netizen commented.

Read the Marine Parade NPC's full post here:

If you have any info on the thief, double-check that it's the right person. Last year, netizens were almost convinced that this UK thief was a 'Friends' actor:

                Here's How Ross From 'Friends' Responded To The Police Hunt For His Thief Doppelgänger

7 Stunning Destinations You Need To Visit At Least Once In Your Life

1. Visit Skellig Michael to experience one of the best views in Ireland

Image via Irish Mirror

Make a trip to the famous island where 'Star Wars: A Force Awakens' was filmed. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Skellig Michael only allows 180 people to step foot on the island every day, and that also depends on the weather and if the boats are willing to make the rough journey.

Image via Earth Trekkers

Once there, you'll have to be prepared for a steep climb up 600 steps, because the higher you go, the better your view. Visitors only get two and a half hours to explore the island, so make sure you lots of photo-worthy pictures so you can to brag on your Instagram feed later on.

2. Enjoy beautiful flower blossoms at Hehuanshan of the Central Mountain Range in Taiwan

Image via Theerasak Saksritawee/www.popumon.com

Plan your trip to Hehuanshan in May for a chance to catch the pink azalea flowers on the top of the mountain. One of the five main mountain ranges of the 3,886-metre-tall Central Mountain Range in Taiwan, Hehuanshan is perfect for nature and scenic lovers.

For YouTubers and video enthusiasts, you'll want to bring along your camera to vlog your hike and capture amazing timelapse videos of the 'Sea Of Clouds' during sunrise and sunset.

3. Experience the serene waters at Sahl Hasheesh in Egypt

Image via Egyptian Streets

If you thought Egypt was all about the pyramids or the hustle and bustle in Cairo, here's another side of the country that you should discover. Sahl Hasheesh is a modern resort town with clear crystal waters and beautiful beaches. Located on the Red Sea coast of Egypt, Sahl Hasheesh is around 18km away from Hurghada International Airport.

Image via Booking.com

For diving and snorkelling enthusiasts, the bay offers a number of islands and coral reefs for you to explore. But if all you want to do is relax, there are countless spots and resorts by the beach for you to just chill and scroll through your Facebook.

4. Eat your way around the world in Melbourne, Australia's culinary capital

Image via The Infatuation

While Melbourne may not be a hidden gem, the city is home to some of the most diverse and high-quality food around the world. Some popular restaurants don't even take reservations, making queuing for dinner a common phenomenon.

The R7 is anything but your typical Windows 8 slider. The unique design includes an ezel hinge that lets you position the display in tablet mode, notebook mode or flipped around to show others content

        laptopmag.com

This laptop sports a 15-inch display that sits on a hinge. The display sports a 1080p resolution with your choice of an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor to keep things running smoothly

First spotted in a teaser online video with a Star Trek movie tie-in, it has a full HD display, Dolby Home Theater v4 speakers, which positions it as a home entertainment PC.

        cnet.com

Unlike some other adjustable hinges of this nature, the A7 can be used in an utterly traditional laptop mode. When you first open the lid, the bottom edge of the display stays connected to the hinge.

        theverge.com

Once it's been opened, you can pop out the bottom of the display from and use it as a faux all-in-one, which Acer is calling "Ezel" (read: easel) mode.

        engadget.com

The whole thing weighs in the neighborhood of five and a half pounds. It's up for pre-order now for $999, available exclusively at Best Buy in the US.

[PHOTOS] Over 83,000 Japanese Queued Up To See A Stone That Looks Like "Siew Yoke"

Caution: lots of pork was involved in the curation of this story...

Image via marriottsbutchers.co.uk

What you see here is an image of an actual piece of pork. Keep it in mind, because what you are going to see below is something that's a replica of it and there were over 83,000 people lined up to see it in Japan.

The Meat-shaped Stone, one of the two most popular pieces of Taiwan's National Palace Museum, was on display for two weeks at the Kyushu National Museum in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

A visitor examines the "Meat-shaped Stone," one of the treasures from Taiwan's National Palace Museum, at an exhibition at the Kyushu National Museum
Image via wantchinatimes.com

The exhibition of the treasured Meat-shaped Stone ended yesterday, 22 October 2014, and it drew a total of 83,933 visitors

Possibly the world's most valuable artistic rendering of a piece of stewed pork
Image via bbc.com

One of Taiwan's most revered artefacts, the 5.73-centimeter tall Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) piece is made from banded jasper and resembling the shape of a braised pork belly.

        focustaiwan.tw

According to the National Palace Museum, the craftsman "took the rich natural resources of this stone and carved it with great precision... the veining and hair follicles making the piece appear even more realistic."

        bbc.com

However, the daily average of 5,995 visitors was somewhat lower than a previous exhibition in Tokyo featuring Taiwan's Jadeite Cabbage, which drew 21,000 people per day, BBC reported

An earlier display featuring the Jadeite Cabbage caused a minor diplomatic row
Image via bbcimg.co.uk

Meat-shape Stone drew an average of 5,995 visitors per day, approximately one-third of the daily visitors (21,000) who viewed the NPM's Jadeite Cabbage at the Tokyo National Museum from June 24–July 7.

        kmt.org.tw

But organisers put this down to the Kyushu Museum being less convenient for those wanting to travel to see the meaty treasure, BBC reported.

Carved in jadeite, the cabbage was made during the Qing dynasty, and comes complete with two insects on its leaves

Its display in Tokyo caused a minor diplomatic row after organisers were reluctant to use the word "national" in publicity material, in case it caused offence to Beijing. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory.

        bbc.com

Due to the concerns for the treasured artefact's safety, the Taiwanese museum has kept its travel plans a closely guarded secret

Main Hall of the National Palace Museum
Image via wikimedia.org

The Meat-shaped Stone is expected to be put on display anew at the NPM in Taipei on October 24. Although the NPM has kept mum on the shipping date of the priceless sculpture out of concern for its safety.

        kmt.org.tw

But it's known that it had to undergo a 24-hour period of motionless after it had been packed before it was allowed to travel. Therefore, the treasure is expected to be returned to Taiwan tomorrow and then would be put on display the day after tomorrow (Friday, October 24).

        bbc.com

Meanwhile, did you know that in Malaysia it is illegal to transfer or export any national heritage without a license?

Google Street View Goes Under The Sea! You Don't Have To Be A Diver To Love These Photos

The ocean is a mysterious place. It's beautiful, magical and daunting at times...

Image via Giphy

All of us have wondered what actually lies beneath the raging ocean since we've kinda explored through diving, expeditions. But do you know what's really beneath it? Whales? Sharks? Mermaids?

Image via Giphy

Ok, maybe we're kidding about the mermaid part. Thanks to Google, you can now get to the bottom of the sea without swimming or getting yourself...

Image via Giphy

To celebrate World Oceans Day on 8 June, Google is letting users see what it's like to live life under the sea. In partnership with various marine organisations, the initiative serves as a reminder to protect our oceans.

Google is committed to exploring and preserving the ocean. Today, in time for World Oceans Day on June 8, and in partnership with XL Catlin Seaview Survey, NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries and the Chagos Conservation Trust, you can explore brand new Street View imagery of more than 40 locations around the world, including the American Samoa and Chagos Islands and underwater dives in Bali, the Bahamas and the Great Barrier Reef.

This is a humpback whale in Cook Islands, New Zealand. The whale is in the midst of migrating from the warm waters of Australia to the cool Antartica Ocean.

This fish looks happy to be on camera! What you see behind is a wreckage of an American warship that dates back all the way to 1942.

This absolutely amazing and terrifying prank, where a girl with telekinetic powers appears to freak out in a coffee shop, is actually a publicity stunt for the upcoming remake of the film Carrie.

        gizmodo.com

Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass, Let Me In, Hugo) stars in the film about a sheltered high school girl who unleashes her newly developed telekinetic powers after she is pushed too far by her peers and her unstable mother (Julianne Moore).

        cbsnews.com

      Unsupported video platform

The set up consists of fake walls, hidden pulleys, remote control tables, spring-loaded shelves full of books and staged actors

Customers had no idea they were about to witness a girl with telekinetic powers lose control after a stranger knocks over her drink. And by 'stranger' we of course mean 'fellow actor,' but the terrified patrons don't know that.
