Paralysis, Arsenic Poisoning And Shocking Facts About Bauxite Mining Malaysians Must Know

In their efforts to live up to the increasing demands for bauxite, Pahang's move to hike up its revenue-rich mining activity has led to an alarmingly high, widespread pollution in the state

Image via The Malaysian Insider

Media on Wednesday, 30 December 2015, showed images of red seas and rivers near the state capital of Kuantan, the center of the industry and the location of a port from which much of the bauxite is shipped.Reporters said the sea were discolored along a 15 km (9 mile) stretch of coast."Of course the federal government and state government are concerned," Natural Resources and Environment Minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar told Reuters.Residents have complained of contamination of water sources and the destruction of their environment as mining operations remove the red earth rich in bauxite.

Wondering why Pahang looks like the red land of Mars suddenly? Here's everything you need to know about the current bauxite mining situation in Pahang:

What is bauxite?

Image via MTEQ Pakistan

Being the world's main source of aluminium, bauxite is a rock that contains aluminium hydroxide which is the main ore of aluminium.  Aluminium is typically used in everyday household items, ranging from kitchenware, cars, packaging, industrial machinery and transportation.

Bauxite mining and exports in Malaysia:

Image via Free Malaysia Today

Until recently, bauxite was just a minor part of Malaysia's mineral exports industry. A report by Malaysian Minerals, states that there was only one major bauxite mine in Johor that was producing about 219,888 tonnes of bauxite worth RM17.59 million, by the year 2013.  According to Bloomberg Business, Malaysia has produced a whopping 208,770 tonnes of bauxite back in 2013, compared to a meager 2,040 tonnes produced in the year 2004.Following Indonesia's decision to ban bauxite exports in 2014, Kuantan, quickly turned into Malaysia's key exporter of bauxite, mainly to China, exporting over 20 million tonnes in the year 2015 alone.

Why did Pahang suddenly hike up the production and export of bauxite?

Image via The Malaysian Insider

Demand from China for the aluminum ingredient has fed a rapid rise in bauxite mining in the third-largest state of Pahang, in the east of peninsular Malaysia, and concern is growing about the impact on the environment.The change came after Indonesia banned bauxite exports in early 2014, forcing China, the world's top aluminum producer, to seek supplies elsewhere.In just three years, Malaysia has transformed itself from a modest supplier to the top source of the material for China.In the first 11 months of 2015, Malaysia shipped more than 20 million tonnes of bauxite to China, up nearly 700 percent on the previous year. In 2013, it shipped just 162,000 tonnes.

        reuters.com

How is bauxite mining contributing towards Pahang's economical growth?

According to Pahang's Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob, the east cost state has the potential to earn up to RM24 million per month, especially following the renewed rates for bauxite production, starting this month, January 2016

He said low-income earners, such as lorry drivers, could earn up to RM8,000 a month by transporting bauxite from mines to collection points.“The money is to feed their children and give them proper education. There are hundreds of them (lorry drivers)," he added. The revised rate will see RM8 for every one tonne of bauxite instead of the present rate of RM4. “I understand that three million metric tonnes of bauxite are produced every month here.In August, it was reported that, the state government collected RM37 million from bauxite production for this year.

        nst.com.my

If it is a lucrative industry, then why are we fighting against this sudden boom in the industry that is bringing in a great deal of revenue?

Despite its proven profitability,  bauxite mining in Pahang has terribly affected the environment and its people, with some scientists even claiming that the environmental pollution can be irreversible

Image via The Star

A team of scientists has warned that damage to the environment from indiscriminate and poorly regulated mining of bauxite may be so severe that the ecosystem may never recover, the New Straits Times reported yesterday.The 14-page report by the group of scientists also touched extensively upon how transportation of the resource posed a public health hazard, and was causing irreversible environmental damage.The experts underlined the risk of heavy metals extracted during mining operations - including arsenic, mercury and aluminium - and other pollutants entering rivers during rains, which could hurt aquatic life. The problem was exacerbated by rivers being barricaded and dammed up to facilitate washing of the ore, the New Straits Times reported. "While the present situation is disturbing enough, its longer term persistence would mean that there would be no scope for the affected waterways to return to their original state. The changes would be so extreme that the fundamental habitat qualities that support our local biodiversity would be lost and we would be left with a degraded ecosystem," they cautioned.

        straitstimes.com

It isn't just the aquatic life and air quality that will be badly compromised; the combined effects of these damages will contribute to ghastly health problems for Malaysians, including respiratory, neurological, and kidney disorders and damages

Dr Syed Abdul Khaliq Syed Abdul Hamid, a paediatrician at Kuantan Hospital, said he was seeing worsening cases of asthma in more than 10 children living near bauxite mining areas. “I have many patients in bauxite areas with very poorly controlled asthma. They can’t sleep at night because of difficulty in breathing, and this is affecting their school and development,” he said. Dr Syed Khalid said long-term exposure to bauxite could have an impact on the kidneys because of heavy metals, such as aluminium and arsenic. “They are poisonous after long-term exposure. The effect on the on kidneys can take place only after many years,” he said, adding that Kuantan residents could no longer afford to wait for action against rampant bauxite mining which is feeding aluminium production in China.

Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh, recently revealed that the rising mercury levels that are 14 times higher than the permitted level in Sungai Kuantan, could cause paralysis, insanity and death over prolonged consumption

uantan MP Fuziah Salleh

Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh has long expressed concern over the problem in her constituency, and her fears have now extended to the safety of raw water supply from Sungai Pinang and Mabok, where miners wash extracted bauxite. “The mercury level in Sungai Pinang is 14 times higher than the levels allowed, while the levels in Sungai Mabok is 10 times higher,” she told the media. Fuziah also said these two rivers merge with Sungai Kuantan, which is the main source of raw water feeding the Semambu water treatment plant.These are the main sources of drinking water for Kuantan folk," said the PKR MP.

        themalaysianinsider.com

A research by the New Straits Times in August 2015,  on live fish samples in rivers near bauxite mining areas, exposed that the average cancer causing arsenic levels in the fishes were 101.5mg per kg.
This is more than a 100 times the legal amount of arsenic allowed by The Food Regulation 1985, which is 1mg/kg.

Public health experts have warned those here that the water sources where bauxite had seeped in were heavily contaminated with toxic chemicals, some with carcinogens.The desperate call stemmed from the independent laboratory test results commissioned two weeks ago by the New Straits Times Probes Team on live fish samples obtained from Pantai Pengorak and Sungai Pengorak here. In the first sample (Fish 1), the trace of arsenic was at 70.8. Fish 2 registered 93.2, while Fish 3 was at a staggering 104.5. "We don’t eat fish by the gramme. Imagine the levels of carcinogens being consumed in one serving," said a scientist assisting the Probes Team in analysing the results."The concentration of these heavy metals would be higher in fish that had been in the water for a longer time," he said. (The fish that were obtained as samples were only the size of a palm.) Contaminated smaller fish that are fed on by larger species would also result in increased levels of toxicity in the larger animal.

        nst.com.my

What has been done so far to address this dangerous problem?

According to Reuters, in July 2015, the Pahang state government revoked the licenses of 34 bauxite mining contractors, leaving only 11 legal ones to operate to curb the growing pollution that arises from the mining activities

Image via Clean Malaysia

The state government took the step after contractors ignored multiple warnings on rampant pollution. Local residents have complained of red dust from bauxite mines contaminating the villages when lorries transport the mineral ore to the port.Only 11 operators with permission to mine, transport and export the mineral would now be allowed to operate in the state of Pahang from Aug. 1, state news agency Bernama reported on Sunday.

        reuters.com

However, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim stressed that the final decision to end or substantially decrease bauxite mining in Pahang lies with the state government which has the ultimate power over the uses of its land

The federal government only had the power to state policy on the impact of mining activities on the environment, but not on land use decisions, as land was under the jurisdiction of the state, Shahidan said.“The federal government can only make decisions in terms of the impact of bauxite on the environment, the cabinet can only recommend to the state government. “But all the power lies with the state government, because we have to remember that the power of land ownership is under their jurisdiction,” he said when contacted today.

Isteri Zakri, Zahrah Mohd Jamian berkata, ketika berusia tujuh bulan, Nur Zetty sudah dimasukkan ke ICU kerana diserang sawan, selain menjalani pemeriksaan pengimbas pelbagai resolusi (MRI).“Hati ibu mana tidak sedih melihat anak terbujur di atas katil wad yang penuh dengan mesin elektronik dan wayar berserabut di tubuhnya. Saat itu paling sukar untuk saya terima. Nur Zetty ketika itu masih kecil untuk menerima semua ini."“Keadaan kesihatan Nur Zetty kian merosot. Sejak menghidap penyakit ganjil ini, Nur Zetty kerap diserang sawan. Setiap kali mendapat serangan penyakit itu, wajahnya bertukar biru, nafas terhenti seketika dan kejang seluruh otot."

“Saya ingin lihat ‘kenakalan’ Nur Zetty semula. Saya terlalu rindu mahu melihat Nur Zetty memunggah baju sudah dilipat. Rindu sangat untuk melihat anak saya menyepahkan rumah,” luah Zahrah.

Nur Zetty merupakan seorang bayi yang sihat sebelum menghidap penyakit lumpuh seluruh badan.

“Tiga bulan selepas dilahirkan dan selepas mendapat suntikan imunisasi, anak saya bertukar biru dan diserang sawan. Apabila saya bertanyakan doktor, mereka tidak ada jawapan konkrit apa yang menyebabkan anak saya jadi begitu. Malah, selepas insiden itu anak semakin kerap diserang sawan sehingga perlu mendapat rawatan susulan di HKL,” katanya.Berikutan itu, anak comel berkulit putih ini tidak lagi selincah dulu. Sehinggalah takdir menentukan Nur Zetty tidak boleh berjalan dan bercakap lagi dan lumpuh sarafnya ketika usia tiga tahun. Alam kanak-kanaknya hilang begitu saja.

        bharian.com.my

“Apabila mahu berputus asa, saya kuat semula memikirkan Nur Zetty lahir normal dan pernah berjalan sebelum lumpuh. Setiap hari, saya beritahu Nur Zetty dia perlu kuat semangat. Selagi bernyawa, saya akan kekal di sisinya,” katanya lagi.

Zahrah menyuapkan makanan ke dalam mulut Zatty.

Semua keperluan seperti menyuap makan, mendukung ke bilik air, memandikan setiap hari dan menemani anaknya sepanjang hari adalah tugas hakiki yang perlu dilakukan. Apatah lagi serangan sawan setiap hari membuat Zahrah risau untuk meninggalkan anaknya keseorangan.“Setiap kali Nur Zetty ke Pusat Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti (PDK) Mawaddah di Sungai Besi, hati saya kerap risau jika berlaku apa-apa. Nur Zetty perlu dipantau kerana sawan boleh menyerang pada bila-bila masa,” kata Zahrah.

        bharian.com.my

Demi anak, Zahrah dan suami tekad mengubati anaknya menerusi kaedah moden dan tradisional. Kini, Nur Zetty sedang dalam rawatan terapi ais, di Shah Alam. Zetty dikatakan masih ada harapan untuk sembuh sepenuhnya.

Lagipun, seorang profesor di pusat rawatan ais itu meyakinkan kami, Nur Zetty akan sembuh,” katanya.

8 Times Malaysians Would Be In Deep Trouble If It Weren't For A Petrol Station

1. The "I-slept-at-a-petrol-station" incident

Image via tumblr.com

Jason Poon, a data analyst tells us that there was once he was out with his friends late at night. "It was a long day hanging out with my buddies and I decided to drive home. Thankfully, my common sense told me to stop at a petrol station to rest a bit. So I took a detour, parked my car and knocked out." "I don't know how long I slept but I was awoken up by a knock on the window by a policeman asking if I was okay. I told him that I was and I was okay to drive back home safely after that."

2. The "tiada duit" incident

Image via giphy.com

John Wong, 32 is a software engineer. "I remember one time when I was out with my then girlfriend for our anniversary dinner. We were dressed nicely and about to head for dinner at a new place in town. Halfway driving, I remembered that I didn't withdraw any money the day before." "Just in case the restaurant didn't accept credit cards, I needed cash but I didn't want my girlfriend to know that I had forgotten. So, I stopped at the petrol station under the pretext that I needed to top up my Touch n' Go card. I went in, withdrew money from the ATM and came out of the petrol station like a boss. SUCCESS!"

3. The "my car is on fire" incident

Image via giphy.com

Shern, a university student was driving along when he heard a loud bang. "I thought that I ran over something but I didn't give it much thought. A motorcyclist on my right kept pointing at my bonnet and I realised that it was on fire! Thankfully there was a petrol station on the left. I drove to the side of the road, parked, and ran to the fire extinguisher before extinguishing the flames."

4. The "let's see how far can this car go on a full tank of petrol" incident

Image via mentalfloss

SAYS content strategist, Darian Goh, was on a road trip to Penang from Petaling Jaya with his friend. He drove to Penang for a short getaway, stopped in Ipoh to refuel and calculated that they should have enough fuel left for Penang. "When we hit the Penang bridge, we had about 30km of mileage left.""We were driving across the bridge watching the numbers count down steadily while the petrol sign blinked non-stop. When we reached the island, we hunted for the nearest petrol station and finally found one. When we pulled into the station, the bar dropped to zero. Kid you not. Talk about perfect timing."

5. The "longest parking lot in Malaysia" incident

Image via newsfounder

SAYS Head of Content, Judith Yeoh, has been stuck on the North-South Expressway for 8 hours before during Raya, when the journey should've only taken 4 hours. "The highway was THE LONGEST PARKING LOT in Malaysia. People were peeing by the roadside, old cars had overheated, and people switched their engines off because NOTHING WAS MOVING.""I saw people walking by the side of the highway to the petrol station that had become like an oasis to stranded travellers.  FOOD! TOILET! LEG SPACE! If Malaysia were to ever be taken over by zombies, it certainly felt like we finally found a safe house. Leaving the petrol station for the road again felt like a punishment. At least we could eat some buns on the way home..."

6. The "err, I think I'm lost" incident

Image via giphy.com

Shannon, 29, a lawyer was lost after her phone ran out of battery. "I was driving for a work assignment in another city and my phone didn't last the journey. I began to drive around aimlessly, before stumbling upon a petrol station. The petrol station attendants were helpful as they helped me navigate through the local streets. I also managed to buy a car charger so I could charge my phone!"

7. The "bus ordeal when I balik kampung" incident

Image via tumblr.com

Johan, an engineering student at UTP told us of the time when he travelled back to his kampung for the Raya holidays. "I was excited to go back after being away from home for so long. I booked a bus and with the usual Malaysian time, we departed slightly later than usual." "We were caught up in this HUGE jam that was not moving at all. With nothing much to do, the passengers decided to refuel their stomachs by walking towards the nearest petrol station (thank goodness for those) and bought some snacks and drinks. This definitely helped with frustrations with the traffic."P.S. Check out Deli2go at selected Shell stations, where they serve pastries freshly baked at the station itself and good coffee. There’s something about walking into a shop at a petrol station and being greeted by the smell of pastries baking and coffee brewing…

8. The "I need Internet" incident

Image via giphy.com

Adrina, a sales manager needed the Internet to rush a client's proposal. "I was driving and the client needed a last minute proposal within 30 minutes. But for some reason, my mobile phone data was really slow and was getting bad reception. In the end, I had to go to petrol station's cafe (McD's) to leech on their WiFi. Phew!"P.S. WiFi stations are available at all Shell stations with Deil2go. More to come soon!

23-Year-Old Mum Poisons Her 4-Year-Old Daughter To Get Attention On Facebook

An Australian mother has been jailed for deliberately poisoning her otherwise healthy 4-year-old daughter with chemotherapy drugs

The 23-year-old Gold Coast mother has been jailed for six years after she pleaded guilty to feeding her young daughter chemotherapy drugs in a bid for attention.
Image via news.com.au

A Gold Coast mother who poisoned her healthy daughter with cancer drugs in order to draw attention to herself will spend at least two years in jail. The mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was sentenced to a maximum of six years in jail at Brisbane district court on Wednesday for what Judge Anthony Rafter called an "incomprehensible" betrayal of her daughter's trust.

        abc.net.au

But because the woman has already spent 426 days in custody she will be eligible for parole on April 10 next year, the court was told.

        theguardian.com

The 23-year-old woman pleaded guilty last October to grievous bodily harm by giving her daughter the drugs that she bought over the Internet. The court heard the girl was three-and-a-half when the poisoning started.

The girl did not have cancer and the drugs made her seriously ill.

The woman admitted last October that she gave her daughter the cancer drugs over a 10-month period, between August 3, 2012, and April 11, 2013.

        sundayworld.com

Judge Rafter said: "Your daughter must have experienced pain and discomfort," he said. "You caused your daughter severe suffering and a life-threatening illness, she was required to undergo evasive medical procedures."

        theguardian.com

Puzzled medical health professionals only suspected the young girl was being poisoned when she became gravely ill — to the point where her body stopped producing essential bone marrow — and would most likely die

Prosecutor Glen Cash said police confirmed doctors’ suspicions when they secretly searched the mum’s home — while she visited her daughter a Brisbane’s Royal Children’s Hospital — and found a pill crusher, drug packaging and numerous online purchase receipts for the drug Cyclophosphamide.

        couriermail.com.au

The court was told the mum had purchased at least 290 tabs of the drug — with the brand name Cytoxan — used in the treatment of malignant cancers and auto-immune diseases.

        sundayworld.com

Mr Cash said the mum later admitted to police that she bought the drugs online on at least five of six occasions and was aware at an early stage they were making her daughter extremely sick — with symptoms including severe nausea, mouth sores, hair loss, diarrhoea and bone marrow suppression.

        dailymail.co.uk

"(The mum) did so in order to attract attention for herself. She procured toxic drugs ... and administered them to her daughter knowing they would cause her (serious) harm."

The court was told woman at one time tried to convince her daughter the tablets were meant to stop her skin from wrinkling, while later telling the child’s grandmother the pills were steroids prescribed by a physician.

        couriermail.com.au

The girl did not have cancer, and was hospitalised with life-threatening illnesses as a result of taking the drugs and spent long periods in hospital.

        theguardian.com

Her motive, say prosecutors, was attention. As her daughter’s health deteriorated, the woman turned to Facebook to chronicle the ongoing “fight for life,” attempting to evoke sympathy by describing the stricken child’s dire need for a bone-marrow transplant. Which garnered widespread support and even attracted a small amount of donations for medical treatment.

        abc.net.au

Although at one point close to death, the girl has since made a good recovery, the court heard, and has been placed in the custody of her grandparents

Barrister Catherine Morgan, who was representing the mother, said the girl was now being cared for by her maternal grandmother. "She confirms [the girl] is indeed a healthy, happy little girl who started prep, who misses her mother," she said. Ms Morgan told the court it was a sad and disturbing case.

        time.com

It is unlikely the woman will ever regain custody of her children, who now live with their maternal grandmother. The grandmother told reporters outside court that: “It was really hard, it was heartbreaking, but I'm not going to focus on that. She's healthy now.”

        sundayworld.com

Despite the ordeal, the grandmother, who is now caring for the little girl, said the family was sticking by her daughter who won't be eligible for parole until 2015. ‘She's my daughter… she's going to get the help she needs,’ she said.

        couriermail.com.au

According to her legal team, the woman had been suffering from an extremely rare mental disorder known as Factitious Disorder By Proxy

Defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as “the deliberate production or feigning of physical or psychological signs or symptoms in another person who is under the individual’s care.”

        time.com

The woman had also faked symptoms to have her own healthy appendix removed, the court was told. However, a treating psychiatrist did not diagnose the woman with a mental illness.

[PHOTOS] Stray Dog Shows Driver Who's Boss With The Help Of Two More Friends

You don't kick this dog and expect to get away with it

Image via elitedaily.com

A man in China learnt this the hard way after he kicked a dog for sleeping on his favourite parking spot

They say you should let sleeping dogs lie - advice that one driver in China paid the price for ignoring. He drove back to his home in Chongqing to find a stray dog lying in his favourite parking spot, so he got out and kicked it.

        dailymail.co.uk

The solution worked, temporarily...

Shortly after, the stray dog and its friends came back and bit on the car's fenders

Image via elitedaily.com

The photos were captured by the driver's neighbour, who was shocked to these dogs biting into metal

Image via elitedaily.com

The driver discovered the dents the next morning, and was shown the photos that it was caused by a pack of revenge-hungry hounds

Image via elitedaily.com

The driver only discovered what had happened to his car after he told his neighbour about the curious incident, and discovered that his neighbour had in fact captured the doggy ambush on camera.

        independent.co.uk

The vandalism was photographed by a startled neighbour, who showed the driver the next morning the evidence that a series of dents and marks on his car were caused by a pack of hounds.

Some Malaysians love being creative with their number plates...

Image via PJSS2

And others go for special ones that aren't from a particular state, like this one:

Image via Photobucket

These are called vanity plates. Vanity plates are special number plates that require official approval from the government before being made available to the public. These plates, normally in limited numbers, are sold for a higher cost by the Malaysian Road Transport Department.

Here are some common vanity plates you would've spotted on the road:

1. The BAMbee one

Image via Foong PC

BAMbee (not to be confused with Bambi, the cute deer!), the plate was introduced during the 2000 Thomas and Uber Cup which was held in Kuala Lumpur.According to this forum thread, the car plate was only made available to members of the BAM (Badminton Association of Malaysia).

2. The SUKOM plate

Image via SG Forums

The SUKOM plate was released by auction during the 1998 Commonwealth Games, which was held in Kuala Lumpur. The SUKOM obviously stands for 'Sukan Komonwel'!

3. 1M4U

The 1M4U (1Malaysia for Youth) plate was introduced to the public back in 2013. According to Paultan.org, the special series had the usual run of 9,999 numbers, with bookings to be available online through a special website.Aside from an open bidding for 68 premium registration number, other numbers were sold at a fixed price.

4. PATRIOT in all caps

The number plate series was offered by Yayasan Patriot Negara Malaysia (YPN) as part of its fund-raising drive to promote moderation.According to the NGO's website, proceeds from the sale of PATRIOT 1 to 9999 is used to carry out programmes and activities that build patriotism. YPN was set up in April 2013.The plate PATRIOT 1 made headlines when it was sold for RM1.3 million.

5. XI ASEAN

Image via Photobucket

The XIII Ministerial Conference of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) took place from 24 to 25 February 2003. The two-day summit addressed multiple issues pertaining to the countries in the NAM. To commemorate the event, the XIII NAM plate was issued. When the delegates came over to KL for the summit, cars with the plate were used to ferry them. These cars and plates were then sold to individual buyers for different prices.

7. X OIC (does not stand for 'Oh I see')

Image via Photobucket

The plate was issued in 2003 during the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) Summit, which was held in Kuala Lumpur. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation is an international organisation founded in 1969, consisting of 57 member states with a collective population of over 1.6 billion as of 2008.

8. G1M

G1M stands for Gagasan 1Malaysia and this series of number plates was unveiled by Kelab Explorasi 7 Benua Malaysia (KE7B). Proceeds from the plate sales were used to fund the club’s trek expeditions to places like Mount Everest and Greenland and also channelled to National Athletes Welfare Foundation, Malaysian Children’s Hope Foundation, and the Poverty Eradication Foundation.A forum thread on Lowyat revealed that the price for the plate starts from RM2,000.

9. Diplomatic Corps

The registration plates of diplomatic corps in Malaysia are very distinct from other number plate formats in the country. They follow a 1C-2C-DC format and have either white characters on a red background or white characters on a black background.1C - The first code denotes the nationality. 2C - The second code denotes a rank. (e.g. : 01 = Head of Mission’s Official Car).DC - The constant suffix which denotes Diplomatic Corps.This table below will blow your mind a little:

10. Consular Corps

Image via imgur.com

The registration plates of consular corps in Malaysia complement the number plates of the diplomatic corps, as listed above. They follow a 1C-2C-CC format and have white characters on a black background. Leading zeroes and hyphens are also used.

11. United Nations

Registration plates for vehicles registered under the United Nations (UN) in Malaysia use a 1C-2C-UN format. These plates are issued with white characters on a black background or white characters on a red background.

Besides vanity plates, there are also specialised plates that are only made available to the military, taxi, and the royalty

Image via Defence Blog

The Malaysian military uses Z as the starting prefix of a licence plate, followed by a second prefix letter to denote the branch of the military.  ZA - ZD: Army  ZL: Navy  ZU: Air Force

Image via Lash World Tour

Older taxi number plates had previously used normal number plates, but the newer ones have adopted the H prefix, followed by its respective location prefix.HA: Ipoh, Perak HB: Klang Valley, Selangor HC: Kuantan, Pahang HJ: Johor Bahru, Johor HM: Melaka HN: Seremban, Negri Sembilan HP: Penang HQK: Kuching, Sarawak HSA: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah HW: Kuala Lumpur

The Sultans of Malaysia, Rulers of States and their immediate royalty use unique registration plates

Most of these official number plates have a yellow or white background and bear the official title or crest of the owners, such as TMJ (Tengku Mahkota Johor).

Tun M Offers To Resign After Taxi Drivers Shouted Offensive Words And Staged A Walkout

Earlier today, 21 October, a group of 10 taxi drivers shouted offensive words and staged a walkout at a dialogue session hosted by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in Langkawi

The taxi drivers accused Tun Dr Mahathir of giving "preferential treatment" to ride-hailing company Grab. At the dialogue session, which was attended by some 200 taxi drivers, the Prime Minister refused to commit to banning ride-sharing services like Grab.The group of 10 taxi drivers behaved rudely and created a commotion, claiming that their livelihood was affected by Grab, accusing it of "stealing" their customers.They were upset over Tun Dr Mahathir's comment that instead of banning Grab, the government will level the playing field between taxis and ridesharing services.

Image via Malay Mail

Upset over the rude behaviour shown by the taxi drivers, Tun Dr Mahathir offered to resign from his post of Prime Minister today

"If (you) don't believe that I can (help), do yourself. See what happens. If you don't help me, I cannot help," he said adding that he was only trying to help the taxi drivers."It's not that I want to be a Prime Minister. I have retired, but people call me back, that's why I came. If you don't want me to be the Prime Minister, I can resign today, it's no problem for me," Tun Dr Mahathir was reported as saying by New Straits Times.

Meanwhile, Tun Dr Mahathir declared that Grab will be required to use vehicles approved by the government as well as pay insurance and taxes like normal taxis in a bid to ensure fair competition

"I have brought this up in Cabinet. I told the minister (of Transport) to fix it, but unfortunately, there has been no progress. I will try again... I too feel it is unfair."This matter has my attention but I cannot give my assurance that Grab will be abolished, but we can make them equal like taxis," the Prime Minister was quoted as saying by NST Online.

10 Ways To Get More Battery Life Out Of Your Android Smartphone

Top-notch Android smartphones are powerful machines, but unfortunately, they don't have endless battery life. Like their iPhone counterparts, many Android users struggle to get by ONE day without having their phones die on them.

Image via Giphy

But the good news is that there are many ways to strategically squeeze out a lot more battery life from your smartphone just by adjusting a few settings:

1. Lower the brightness and adjust the sleep time

Image via Pocket Meta

Perhaps the most useful tip for any smartphone with a screen. By adjusting the brightness level to 50% below, the battery would be able to last at least 2 hours longer than usual. The other usual tip is to adjust the screen's sleep time - the amount of time the screen will stay active before it dims away. It's usually set to 30 seconds, but we recommend setting it to the quickest (15 seconds or less).

2. Figure out which app is hogging the most power

Image via Mashable

Suspended apps — apps that are minimized but not closed — can still consume a lot of power without your knowledge. Luckily, Android has a built-in battery monitor. You'll be able to see which apps are the biggest offenders. Now, you'll know which apps to avoid using when you know you're going to be out all day.

        mashable.com

3. Dump unnecessary home screen widgets and live wallpaper

Image via Tech Now News

Many Android apps, including social networks, weather apps and news apps, come with widgets that sit handily on the home screen for real-time updates. However, widgets are battery drainers due to their power-sucking animations. If you don't need a permanent window into the Facebook news feed or regular updates on the weather, remove the superfluous widget by dragging it to the trash can icon.

4. Turn on battery saver mode

Image via Mashable

Even if your smartphone doesn't have layers of battery saving features like some (or you simply don't want to disable so many features), at least, make use of the basic battery saver mode. Even stock Android Lollipop has it by default and Android M has the great Doze feature for less battery consumption while your phone is asleep.

        androidpit.com

5. Turn off Bluetooth and GPS when not needed

Image via Samarins

Many apps like Google Maps, Swarm and Waze use your location to provide real-time location data, but if you rarely use location-based apps or use them sparingly, it would be wise to leave the GPS off. Same goes for Bluetooth! If you don't use any Bluetooth accessories with your smartphone, it's an easy call to turn off Bluetooth entirely.

6. Turn off vibrations and unnecessary sounds

Image via Mashable

Haptic feedback - the vibration you feel every time you touch on your Android screen is a cool little feature, but it also drains up your battery very fast. Imagine typing out a 200 character message, that would mean your smartphone would have to vibrate 200 times!

7. Make sure your apps are all updated

Image via Android Pit

Keep your apps updated. There's a reason developers constantly update apps, and many of these reasons are memory and battery optimizations. Keeping your apps updated also means you have the best optimizations available. Likewise, delete old apps you no longer use, as these may be running background processes that chew up RAM and battery life.

        androidpit.com

8. Use lock-screen notifications

Image via Cult Of Android

Lock screen notifications can also help save you battery life, especially if your smartphone has an AMOLED screen. This is because you can see your notifications at a glance without having to turn your whole screen on. This is especially useful if you get lots of notifications that aren't worth following up on immediately.

        cnet.com

9. Stop syncing everything with Google

Image via HongKiat

Your Android device helpfully tries to sync all your data with your Google account. While this is great for things like calendar and email, it can drain your battery and pump up data usage when it syncs things like photos. To make sure your phone isn't constantly backing up things you don't want or need to back up, just uncheck anything you'd rather not sync.

        techlicious.com

10. Don't expose your smartphone to excessive heat

Image via PC World

Some of us might have observed that our battery runs out faster when our smartphones are warm. Put simply, don’t leave your smartphones under direct sunlight or in any place that is hot.One of the more common occurrences would be leaving the smartphone in a car parked under the sun. The battery will function optimally in cooler environments, so do look out for, and try to avoid, scenarios where your phone is exposed to unnecessary and excessive heat.

Ramai Orang Luar 'Triggered' Dengan Iklan Parodi "Shampoo Tudung" Ini Sampai Hina Islam

Iklan "shampoo tudung" yang viral ini mendapat liputan seluruh dunia. Walaupun itu sesuatu yang bagus, tapi...

... kami terkejut kerana iklan parodi ini nampaknya mendapat kutukan keras daripada ramai orang dari luar negara.Screenshot dari video ini turut dimuat naik di salah satu media sosial paling popular di dunia iaitu 9GAG.

Sejak dimuatnaik di 9GAG, tiba-tiba iklan "shampoo" yang bersifat satira komedi ini mencetus kemarahan orang ramai

Ramai menganggap iklan ini bodoh dan tak masuk akal, malah ada juga yang menjelaskan bahawa itu bukanlah cara sebenar memakai shampoo seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam iklan tersebut.

Ini adegannya.
Image via Mr The All Shared/YouTube

Dan tak semena-mena, nama Malaysia menjadi sebutan dan Islam juga dihina dengan teruk. Pelbagai jenis kata-kata kesat kita boleh lihat ditinggalkan di ruangan komen yang berbaur kutukan dan cacian terhadap agama Islam.Boleh baca sendiri di bawah:

Image via KarradaguyYouTube

Tambahan lagi, ada juga yang menggelar Malaysia sebagai "Negara dengan undang-undang zalim" sebab wanita perlu mandi sambil berpakaian

Image via Twitter

Image via 9GAG

Aduhai, benda kecik macam ni pun boleh jadi isu. Apa yang mereka semua tak tahu ialah sebenarnya ini BUKAN iklan shampoo yang sebenar.

Adegan pendek 15 saat tersebut telah dicedok daripada video parodi komedi di bawah ini:

Media sosial seperti 9GAG dan Twitter hanya menunjukkan adegan wanita memakai shampoo di atas tudung sahaja, tanpa meletakkan link kepada video penuh. Disebabkan itu, ramai yang berkata iklan ini menunjukkan imej Islam sebenar yang mundur dan terkebelakang.Mereka juga tak tahu bahawa video ini telah dihasilkan oleh sebuah syarikat produksi tempatan Mr The All Shared bagi mempromosi koleksi tudung keluaran Escarves, bukan shampoo.

Lagi satu, video berkenaan juga memang sengaja dihasilkan sebegitu bagi menyerupai iklan shampoo Sunsilk yang sangat popular pada satu masa dulu

Sebab itulah ia dipanggil parodi berunsur satira komedi!Oohh so nostalgic!

Fun fact: Wanita dalam iklan Sunsilk ini adalah isteri kepada Dato' Aliff Syukri.

Nasib baik ada ramai orang kita yang mempertahankan iklan tersebut dan bagi counter attack. Terima kasih.

Image via 9GAG

Dah berbuih dah mulut ni cakap - tolonglah periksa fakta dan kesahihan terhadap semua benda yang anda lihat atau baca di Internet. Tak semua benda yang anda lihat atau baca itu sahih dan benar. Buat research dulu, fahamkan, dan baru boleh komen. Please.

This 56-Year-Old Left His Job At The Bank To Bake The Most Magical Wedding Cakes

Meet Zulkiflee Mawan

He left his banking job six years ago to pursue his interest in baking and now, at 56 years of age, he owns a successful business customising wedding cakes called Banker2Baker.

Image via Instagram @banker2baker

His inspiring story came to light when his son, Aiman Zulkiflee, shared it on Twitter last week

"My dad quit his job at 50 after [27] years as a banker to pursue a dream. From banker to baker. Here's me sharing his handiwork from today," Aiman tweeted on Wednesday, 15 April, along with pictures of his father's craft.The post was well-loved by social media users and has gotten over 14,000 retweets and 27,000 likes."In just a few short years, he went from zero to this," said Aiman proudly while showing off his father's work.

Aiman told SAYS that his father had actually never baked anything before leaving his job at Bank Negara

"It really wasn't even a hobby or anything. It was just by luck that baking was the first venture he went into after resigning. It was fortunate that it was a success and he just kept on pursuing it," shared Aiman.Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Zulkiflee was a manager at the bank's Risk Management Department for 27 years, reported Bernama.However, after uprooting his family to the United Kingdom for four years to accompany his wife who was pursuing a PhD there, Zulkiflee told Bernama that when he came back to Malaysia, he no longer had the motivation to stay in his day job at Bank Negara."So I opted for early retirement and started a bakery business even though I had no experience in baking," he said.

Image via Instagram @banker2baker

He started off his baking journey by taking classes right here in Malaysia, initially only baking for friends and family

"After receiving great feedback, he became motivated to pursue baking, and along the way, it flourished into a passion," Aiman told SAYS.He also shared that his father then travelled all the way to Paris to study at the Le Cordon Bleu culinary school to hone his pastry skills.Later, Zulkiflee also travelled to Tokyo to learn the special technique of creating 'sugar flowers' from renowned cake artist Naomi Yamamoto - a skill that has definitely become a speciality of his own, as can be seen in the cakes he designs today.

Aiman shared that his family are all very supportive of his father's  change of career, even though some of them were honestly worried in the beginning

According to New Straits Times, Zulkiflee also admitted it was difficult for him to earn a living at the start, but his determination paid off and he was finally able to open the Banker2Baker boutique cafe in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur.He now receives about six to 15 cake orders a week, and has made about 2,000 cakes up to this day.

Image via Instagram @banker2baker

Zulkiflee has even received orders for many prestigious events

The baker has made a birthday cake for former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's 92nd birthday, and has also gone on to organise the first-ever cake exhibition in Malaysia called the 'Cake Walk' which was held in April last year.When asked if his father still has the time to be in the kitchen while busy running the business, Aiman said, "Most of the baking tasks have been passed to his staff.""He's focusing more on the decoration side of it now, especially in making sugar flowers."

10 Public Places In Malaysia Where People Were Caught Or Admitted To Having Sex At

1. At the balcony. Made infamous recently by a very 'brave' couple having sex in broad daylight on a balcony in Bangsar South.

Image via Malaysian Digest

While the time and date of the incident was not mentioned, the tenant who snapped the photo said the nasty session lasted for an amazing 30 minutes!

2. In the car. In 2014, a Malaysian teen couple were caught having sex in a car at night parked at a dark, deserted industrial area. They tried escaping, leading to a high-speed chase that ended with the teen crashing the car.

Sex, cars, the 'popo', and high-speed chases. This sounds like it came right out of a movie or Grand Theft Auto.

3. In hired cars: "We’ve seen it all. People do drugs, they try to have sex. I saw one guy try to urinate into a bottle," according to a confession by an Uber driver

"When I was working part-time at a clothing store, once this couple went into one of the fitting rooms together which is not allowed, but it was a super busy day so I wasn't quick enough to stop them. The couple eventually came out and returned the clothes they brought in, the usual routine. I'm supposed to check into every room before letting another customer in, so I did exactly that.  I noticed there were a few crumpled up blobs of tissue paper on the floor, so I moved to pick them up. To my horror, THEY WERE STICKY. Then I realised that the room smelled a little musky and felt a little... humid. I may be jumping to conclusions, but I'm pretty sure they engaged in some indecent behaviour in there," said the 24-year-old sales attendant.

'The Coalition Has Fallen Apart': Ukrainian Prime Minister Resigns Amidst MH17 Chaos

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and his Cabinet announced their resignation on Thursday. Yatsenyuk told Parliament that he was announcing his resignation after the blocking of government initiatives and the collapse of the coalition.

Arseny Yatseniuk's impassioned speech underlined the frustration of many in Ukraine that change is taking too long

He resigned after two leading parties in parliament said they would leave the governing coalition. He also cited failure to pass energy laws and an increase to the military budget as reasons for leaving.

        thewire.com

“I declare my resignation in connection with the collapse of the coalition and blocking of government initiatives,” Mr. Yatsenyuk said after two major parties announced they were pulling their support, a step that allows President Petro O. Poroshenko to dissolve Parliament and call elections for the fall.

        nytimes.com

"At the moment my government does not have the answer" to numerous questions, including how to keep paying government salaries, military expenses and families of flight victims. A "collapsed coalition has consequences," Yatsenyuk said.

The move to dissolve the coalition was not supported by Mr. Yatsenyuk’s Fatherland Party, and in his speech to Parliament, Mr. Yatsenyuk warned that the political maneuvering risked paralyzing the government.

        nytimes.com

"History will not forgive us," he told parliament. "Our government now has no answer to the questions – how are we to pay wages, how are we tomorrow morning going to send fuel for armoured vehicles, how will we pay those families who have lost soldiers, to look after the army?"

        cnn.com

Although Parliament has 10 days to vote on Yatsenyuk's resignation, Ukrainian President Petro O. Poroshenko urged the speaker of Parliament to hold a vote on Friday, saying he saw no reason for Yatsenyuk or the rest of the cabinet to resign

“I understand that it works under extremely difficult conditions that have never been faced by a government before,” Mr. Poroshenko wrote in a letter to the speaker, Oleksandr V. Tuchynov. “I hope that emotions fade away, and a cool head and sense of responsibility will win the day.”

The Ukrainian government is struggling to defeat an insurgency by pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country, where Malaysia Airlines' MH17 was downed on 17 July 2014

Arseniy Yatsenyuk, one of the leaders of the Maidan protests, was seen by many Ukrainians as a safe pair of hands, with his mild manner and intellectual demeanour. But he grew angry during Ukraine's parliamentary session as it failed to pass legislation to increase army financing and regulate the country's energy situation.

        theguardian.com

The dissolution of the governing coalition suggested that Mr. Poroshenko and his political allies were optimistic that the Ukrainian military would soon succeed in quashing the separatist insurrection that has troubled eastern Ukraine since early April.

        nytimes.com

Although fierce fighting continues, particularly near the Russian border, the Ukrainian military has made major advances in recent days, and Mr. Poroshenko’s aides have told allies that they believe the military operation can be completed in up to three weeks, provided there is no invasion by Russia or a large new influx of weapons and fighters across the border.

        thewire.com

Still, a State Department spokeswoman said on Thursday that the United States had intelligence indicating that Russia intended to deliver more powerful rocket launchers to Ukrainian rebels and that Russia was firing artillery at Ukrainian military positions.

        nytimes.com

Mr. Poroshenko, in a statement issued before Mr. Yatsenyuk’s resignation, had urged Parliament to keep working. He praised lawmakers and said their move reflected the will of Ukrainian voters demanding to replace Parliament, which was elected in 2012 and still includes many members who once supported the previous president, Viktor F. Yanukovych.

        washingtonpost.com

“All opinion polls, as well as direct communication with the people, shows that the public wants a full rebooting of the authorities,” Mr. Poroshenko said.

        nytimes.com

It was not immediately clear if Yatsenyuk's announcement meant that he was leaving the government, or if tendering his resignation was a tactical step to force further negotiations

Vitaliy Kovalchuk, the parliamentary leader of the Udar Party who helped negotiate the dissolution of the coalition, told reporters outside the chamber that Parliament had not yet voted to accept Mr. Yatsenyuk’s resignation, as required by the Ukraine Constitution, and he said the prime minister’s comments risked “destabilizing the situation in Ukraine.”

Such a situation occurred this year when Mr. Yanukovych dismissed his government in a bid to quell the street protests that ultimately removed him from office. The process of replacing Parliament will take several months, and Mr. Poroshenko urged lawmakers to work productively in the meantime.

        nytimes.com

“The withdrawal of members from the coalition should not paralyze the work of Parliament,” he said. Mr. Poroshenko cited the need to adopt budget amendments, including financing for the military, as well as steps needed to comply with demands of international creditors who helped save Ukraine from default this year.

        theguardian.com

“I urged all members of Parliament to work responsibly,” Mr. Poroshenko said, “with the knowledge that Ukraine is now fighting for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, for the very existence of our country, for the future of the Ukrainian people.”

        mashable.com

The parliamentary elections will probably be held in late October or early November, a potentially ambitious timetable even if the military operation ends soon, given the deep damage to infrastructure and the displacement of citizens who fled eastern Ukraine to escape the fighting.

5 Alternative Ride-Hailing Apps You Can Use In Malaysia Instead Of Grab

On 25 March, Grab Malaysia started charging a cancellation fee on passengers who cancel their ride five minutes after booking a driver

The cancellation fee ranges from RM3 to RM5.A RM5 no-show penalty was also introduced for passengers who fail to appear at the pick-up point for more than five minutes after the driver has arrived.

Image via Reuters

While the cancellation fee does not apply if a driver is 10 minutes later than the initial estimated time of arrival, netizens were not too pleased by the change in policy.

Image via SAYS/Facebook

Image via SAYS/Facebook

While no ride-hailing platform is perfect, it's good to know that you have options.
Here are five ride-hailing alternatives to Grab in Malaysia:

1. MyCar

Image via MyCar

Branding itself as "the third e-hailing force" in Malaysia, MyCar is modelled similarly to Uber and Grab - users are able to track where their drivers are, message them while they are en-route and pay for their trips using either cash or card. The platform offers a fixed fare price, as well as no surcharge for traffic.MyCar is available on Google Play and App Store.Find out more here.

2. EzCab

Image via EzCab

With EzCab, users are spoiled for choice - transportation options include rides with fixed fare, private cars, metered taxis, MPV taxis, as well as executive and luxury MPVs.EzCab accepts Boost, Touch & Go eWallet, Alipay, and WeChat pay, in addition to the standard cash and credit card payment.The app is also equipped with an in-app SOS button which will immediately alert the police when used.The company's services cover areas in Klang Valley, Penang, Perak, Seremban, Johor, Melaka, and Sabah. EzCab is available on Google Play and App Store.Find out more here.

3. MULA

Image via MULA

MULA initially started out as a driver service with a user-friendly app, rather than a direct ride-hailing service. As such, it has a unique offering of MULA-owned vehicles offered alongside its ride-hailing services and allows users to pre-book a ride at a later date and time.The platform advocates driver and passenger safety through stringent background checks, as well as the app's advance features such as SOS and the ladies-only MULA Pink function. Additionally, MULA told The Star that although its Terms and Conditions include a cancellation fee, the company has never applied this to its passengers and has no plans to do so in the future.The services are currently only available in Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor.MULA is available on Google Play and App Store.Find out more here.

4. DACSEE

DACSEE claims to be the first ride-sharing platform that seeks to "build loyalty between riders and drivers" by allowing for the development of networks and friendships between people that share similar interests. As such, users have the option to request rides from friends or family members, so long as they are a part of the DACSEE community.As a cryptocurrency centric ride-hailing service, DACSEE also accepts e-coin as payment.The platform's services span throughout Klang Valley, Perak, Sarawak, Johor Bahru, Penang, and Sabah.DACSEE is available on Google Play and App Store.Find out more here.

5. Riding Pink (women only)

As Malaysia's first women-only transportation platform, Riding Pink aims to provide women riders with reliable, affordable, and safe transport options as well as provide drivers with a flexible source of income.The database of registered drivers consist of stay-at-home mothers, single mothers, and working adults seeking extra income.Riding Pink services are "focused on pre-books, customised rides, and recurring rides," and covers most of Klang Valley.Find out more here.

Pilot In Deadly Crash Repeatedly Took Selfies Leading Up To The Fatal Accident

A 29-year-old pilot who died when he crashed his small aircraft near Denver, Colorado, in May 2014, was distracted because he was taking selfies in the cockpit, likely contributing to the fatal accident, US investigators concluded on Tuesday, 3 January

Photo of the downed aircraft. pic.twitter.com/9HahURSFZE— Adams Sheriff's Page (@AdamsCoSheriff) May 31, 2014

US government investigators found no sign that anything was wrong with the plane, which plunged into the ground, killing the pilot and his passenger shortly after midnight on 31 May 2014

The wreckage of a crashed Cessna 150 aircraft lies in a field near Watkins, Colorado on 31 May 2014. The pilot had been taking selfie pictures with a cellphone shortly beforehand.
Image via abcnews.com

“It is likely that cellphone use during the accident flight distracted the pilot and contributed to the development of spatial disorientation and subsequent loss of control,” the safety board said in a report last week. Investigators found no sign that anything was wrong with the plane.

        nytimes.com

The pilot, Amritpal Singh, had used a GoPro camera to record few short flights he made with different passengers onboard his two-seat Cessna 150. While he did not record the fatal trip on 31 May, he did record a 6-minute jaunt shortly before it, NYT reports.

“The GoPro recordings revealed that the pilot and various passengers were taking self-photographs with their cellphones and, during the night flight, using the camera’s flash function during the takeoff roll, initial climb and flight in the traffic pattern,” the report said.

        nytimes.com

Investigators said the plane made two back-to-back flights, one inside a traffic pattern with a safe landing, and a second when Singh crashed.During the first flight, when the Cessna landed safely, investigators say footage from a GoPro video camera found on scene showed Singh and his passenger taking “self-photographs” with cellphones. The second, fatal crash was not recorded by the GoPro.During the second flight, as the Cessna reached 740ft, the aircraft made a sharp left turn and began to spin downward, possibly stalled out. The plane crashed into an open field below, killing Singh and his passenger, and destroying the Cessna.

        theguardian.com

"Distractions from personal devices are in all modes of transportation, we're seeing that more and more. But the selfies in an airplane, that's something new for us," said a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board. It's the first time the safety board has blamed a plane crash on the pilot taking photos.

Distracted driving is a factor in more than 3,000 traffic deaths annually in the United States, and about one-tenth of those involve cellphones, according to the Department of Transportation.Several train accidents have also been blamed on engineers paying attention to their phones, including the 2008 collision of two trains in Los Angeles that killed 25 people.So it seemed inevitable that the scourge of distraction by electronic devices would move into the skies.

        nytimes.com

However, this isn't a stray case. In 2009, the pilots of a Northwest Airlines flight from San Diego to Minneapolis were so busy using their personal laptops to figure out their work schedules, notes NYT, that they overshot their destination by more than 161 km.

The pilots told the National Transportation Safety Board that they missed their destination because they had taken out their personal laptops in the cockpit, a violation of airline policy, so the first officer, Richard I. Cole, could tutor the captain, Timothy B. Cheney, in a new scheduling system put in place by Delta Air Lines, which acquired Northwest last fall.

        nytimes.com

In 2014, the Federal Aviation Administration banned the use of personal electronic gadgets in plane cockpits, but some pilots have not given up the habit of posting on Instagram scenic photos they took 7 miles aloft. The ban does not apply to private pilots.

Some US pilots addressed the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), when it was considering the rules on the use of electronic devices in the cockpit, and said that gadgets were actually only contributing to flight safety, as they helped the crew cope with boredom and consequently loss of concentration. The FAA remained unconvinced and banned all use of electronic devices by pilots in the cockpit in February 2014.

        rt.com

The ban does not apply to private pilots, who often use tablet computers, and even phones, running software for navigation, weather forecasts and flight planning, reported the New York Times.

An airplane is most vulnerable during the kind of low-altitude, low-speed maneuvering pilot Amritpal Singh was doing. After the "selfie accident", many pilots in the US said they would never take a selfie in that time, when absolute attention is needed.

“It’s the critical stage of flight,” said Bill Zempel, 49, a private pilot and airplane mechanic, taking a cookie break amid three single-engine planes. “That’s bad decision-making.”But he and a colleague, Kiki Winchester, admitted to the occasional self-portrait — taken, they said, once they are at a safe altitude and the plane is cruising. “We’ve got lots of pictures of ourselves in the planes,” said Ms. Winchester, 41.

        nytimes.com

Meanwhile, cockpit photography is increasingly popular among pilots. Quartz recently did an investigation into commercial airline pilots, who are prohibited from using their phones while flying, who became famous on Instagram for posting photos of the skies.

Image via instagram.com/knxposures

In December, Quartz detailed the trend among commercial airline pilots, who are generally prohibited from using their phones while flying. Many pilots find the practice harmless, but safety experts say even a few moments of distraction in the cockpit can be dangerous.

        qz.com

One airline pilot featured in Quartz's story posted a photo of himself to Instagram with the caption, "About to land this plane but first, #lmtas," shorthand for "let me take a selfie"

Image via wordpress.com

Regulators in the US, UK, and EU require that pilots maintain a “sterile cockpit” from the moment they pull away from the gate until the plane is at cruising altitude or above 10,000 feet (3,000 meters), and again on the way down until the plane is parked.During those periods, pilots must focus on “essential operational activities.” They can’t read, eat, drink, or talk about anything unrelated to operating the plane. They certainly can’t take photos, yet Quartz found many examples on Instagram of photos seemingly taken from a pilot’s seat while a commercial airplane was landing.

        qz.com

In its in-depth report, Quartz monitored hundreds of Instagram accounts over 6 months and posted a collection of photographs and videos taken by pilots in the cockpit midflight. Many of which captured during critical phases of flight, like takeoff and landing.

This is your captain being vain: Pilots for airlines large and small, flying planes of all sizes, seem to be violating the safety rules, taking photos with their phones as well as GoPro cameras mounted inside the cockpit.
Image via dailymail.co.uk

Furthermore, the pictures show pilots around the world blatantly disregarding the need for a 'sterile cockpit', when only matters directly affecting the flight are supposed to be discussed.Quartz spent almost half a year trawling through the Instagram accounts of flight crews looking for instances of pilots taking pictures on the flight deck. A number of the crew ended up closing down their accounts after being contacted by the website.Airlines including British Airways and Jet Blue responded stating that their flight crews are trained to the highest standards and know to avoid unnecessary distractions.  Pilots have also argued that the taking of pictures or video does not distract from an otherwise complicated job. Pushing a button to open a shutter is possibly the least complicated thing they would do during a flight.

        dailymail.co.uk

Pilots are prohibited from using most personal electronic devices, even at cruising altitude when the plane is on auto-pilot, to ensure they stay focused on flight duties, but this pilot appears to have everything under control.
Image via dailymail.co.uk

But before you go judging the picture-taking pilots, the case against them isn't exactly 100 percent clear-cut. For one thing, off-duty pilots and crew members sitting in the cockpit's jump seat are allowed to use electronic devices, reported Yahoo!

Pilots argue that they would prefer rules that better balanced between managing boredom and safety.
Image via dailymail.co.uk

And Quartz points out the rules don’t apply to planes with no passengers, and it’s impossible to determine if those pics were taken with paying passengers on board.Some pilots are calling for the rules to be loosened, saying pilots need something to entertain them during long-haul flights when plane operations are mostly automated. But former airline pilot and licensed therapist Tom Bunn — who counsels people with a fear of flying — disagrees.“Being on the lookout for a good picture instead of taking care of business is, even when not snapping a picture, a diversion of attention,” he tells Yahoo Travel.” “Photography … is not what a pilot is there for or is getting paid for.”
