Tiger Sugar Is Finally In Malaysia! Here Are 3 Must-Try Drinks If You're A First-Timer

At long last, cult favourite and popular Taiwanese bubble tea brand Tiger Sugar has arrived in Malaysia!

Initially slated for a November opening, Tiger Sugar opened its first Malaysian outpost at Sunway Pyramid on New Year's Day and was officially launched earlier today, 4 January.

Famous for its signature brown sugar drinks, Tiger Sugar is a relatively young company, having entered the market in November 2017 with its first outlet in Taichung, Taiwan

It quickly amassed a cult-like following among bubble tea enthusiasts, with people reportedly queueing up for at least an hour just to get their hands on its best-selling brown sugar boba fresh milk with cream mousse drink. The brand has since expanded to other countries in Asia, including Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, and of course, Malaysia.

As for why the company is called 'Tiger Sugar', it has a lot to do with the drinks' unique presentation - the cups are coated with brown sugar, which is supposed to resemble the stripes of a tiger when milk is poured in!

Tiger Sugar prides itself on using only high quality and imported ingredients to craft their beverages. The menu is kept simple to highlight its signature Tiger Brown Sugar syrup, which is made up of four types of Taiwanese brown sugar syrup. Only fresh milk is used for drinks, in addition to crystal clear ice made from filtered water, not unlike the ones used for premium whisky. Most importantly, the boba pearls - which are cooked in brown sugar - are made in small batches to maintain freshness in each cup.

If you're new to the Taiwanese brand, we've got you covered. Here are three of Tiger Sugar's must-try drinks if you're a first-timer:

1. The best-selling Brown Sugar Boba Milk with Cream mousse (RM12.90)

Considered the signature drink that propelled Tiger Sugar to fame, this best-selling drink is a wonderful combination of cold, fresh milk and warm brown sugar pearls topped with a thick mousse for a slightly cheesy taste. Despite its heavy ingredients, we were pleasantly surprised to find that it's not as sweet nor cloying as we expected it to be. In fact, to paraphrase Thanos, it's perfectly balanced... as all things should be. :pNote: The drink is also available without cream mousse, although the price remains the same. You can also opt for a boba + mini-sized pearls combo if you cannot decide on the sort of pearls you'd like in your drink.

2. Want a dash of fragrant tea in your drink? Consider going for the Black Tea Latte with Cream mousse (RM10.90).

The drink also comes in a green tea latte variant.

3. If you're not a fan of milky drinks, the Brown Sugar Green Tea with Boba or Pearls (RM9.90) is a good bet too!

Not a fan of boba or pearls either? Go for the Tea Series (RM8.90) instead for plain ol' refreshing black or green tea.

"On Point!" - Berdekah Tengok Adegan Filem 'Kabhi Khusi Kabhi Gham' Versi Pokok Kelapa Ni

Siapa tak tahu filem Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham?

Image via Daily Pakistan

Setiap tahun confirm akan tayang filem bertemakan kekeluargaan dan percintaan itu. Kalau bukan waktu perayaan Deepavali, waktu sambutan Hari Raya Aidilfitri mesti ada!Walaupun filem Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham ditayangkan secara rasmi 18 tahun lepas iaitu pada tahun 2001, namun filem itu boleh dikatakan antara filem Hindustan yang terbaik dan kekal evergreen sehingga ke hari ini.

Image via The Teal Mango

Bukan sahaja kerana filem tersebut diungguli oleh bintang-bintang terkenal Bollywood seperti Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Amitabh Bachchan, dan Hrithik Roshan, tapi lagu-lagu yang terdapat dalam filem itu pun memang sedap. Dari lagu slow sehinggalah lagu rancak, semuanya sedap didengari. Siap ada yang menghafal lagi lagu-lagu dari filem berkenaan.

Baru-baru ini, sekumpulan warga Indonesia telah membuat parodi lagu yang cukup popular dalam filem itu iaitu 'Bole Chudiyan'

Video tersebut telah dikongsikan oleh salah seorang penari yang terlibat dalam video parodi itu menerusi akaun Instagram-nya.

Yang lucunya, versi parodi lagu ini dilakukan di dalam hutan!

Kalau dalam filem sebenar, babak ini memperlihatkan orang ramai menari dengan gembira beserta dengan suasana meriah di dalam ruang besar sebuah rumah.Dalam versi parodi, mereka semua menari di sekitar sebuah kebun pokok kelapa.

Image via Instagram @hendrahairull

Lebih menarik apabila penonton juga boleh melihat paparan sebenar babak berkenaan di sudut bawah belah kanan video parodi itu supaya boleh menilai sendiri gerak tari yang dipersembahkan.Memang sangat on-point ditambah juga dengan gaya yang lebih lucu!

Image via Instagram @hendrahairull

Dalam keseluruhan video tersebut, babak yang benar-benar mencuri perhatian dan epik adalah ketika si ibu mendapat 'aura' atau 'naluri' anak-anaknya telah bersatu setelah sekian lama terpisah.Kalau ikut filem sebenar, si ibu berlari menuruni tangga, tapi kalau ikut versi parodi, si ibu telah bergegas lari di atas titi.

Image via Instagram @hendrahairull

Rata-rata netizen terhibur dan meluahkan rasa kagum serta memuji pembikinan video tersebut!

There Is Now An RM10K Reward For Anyone Who Can Help Track The Taman Mutiara MRT Assaulter

DAP MP Lim Lip Eng is now offering an RM10,000 reward by an anonymous donor to anyone who can help police track down the man who assaulted a 48-year-old woman and then robbed her inside a lift at the MRT's Taman Mutiara station in Cheras

In a statement to media, the Kepong member of the parliament said that the RM10k reward was being offered by his office on behalf of an outraged anonymous person."The police have yet to identify the assailant. It is hoped that the cash offer will lead to the robber's arrest immediately," Lim said, adding that he fears if the suspect is not caught soon, it may influence others to commit such crimes in places that are isolated."My biggest fear is that if he is not caught soon, his actions may influence other villains to commit such crimes in a similar fashion in lifts or in some obscure corners all over the country," Lim said in his statement earlier today, 17 February.They may even target victims of all ages including the men or operate in groups. This news may have caused some foreign tourists to give Malaysia a miss due to crime."

The incident prompted the KL police to set up a 200-strong task force to apprehend the assaulter who has not been identified

According to KL police CID chief SAC Rusdi Mohd Isa, while police have yet to make an arrest in the case, they have had so far recorded statements from three people.The case was being investigated under Section 394 of the Penal Code, for voluntarily causing hurt while committing a robbery, SAC Rusdi added.

My office offers a bounty of RM10,000 on behalf of an outraged anonymous for anyone with credible information for the police, leading to the arrest of the robber who mercilessly assaulted a helpless woman in a MRT lift recently.

This Aesthetic Korean Water Purifier Gives You Clean Water At The Perfect Temperature

Ever wondered if the water you’re drinking at home is really clean?

Image via Giphy

Malaysians generally don't drink water directly from the tap. Even though most of our water is treated, our waters can taste rusty due to old pipes and water tanks. That's why most Malaysians opt for water filters or purifiers at home.

To provide the most hygienic water, there's been a growing trend in Korea for tankless water purifiers. We recently headed over to Seoul to check out what the hype was all about.

Image via SAYS

The good news, these exact same water purifiers from LG that have made a wave in Korea are making their way to Malaysia really, really soon!

Here's everything we loved about this water purifier:

1. Since it's tankless, you get fresh tasting water every single time

Image via LG Electronics

If you've ever felt like your water tasted stale or a little off, it may be because it was sitting in the tank of your water purifier for too long. LG's PuriCare Tankless water purifier, on the other hand, filters the water straight from the pipe into your cup. This means you'll get fresh tasting water every single time!

2. It has the most comprehensive filter we'd ever seen, which means super clean drinking water

Image via SAYS

LG has come up with an advanced filter that can eliminate up to seven types of heavy metals from your water. There's also a UV sterilization function that sanitizes the tap every hour. All this is to say that you can rest assured that the water you're drinking is safe, clean, and better tasting!

3. You get to tap the cool display panel to choose the perfect temperature and amount of water you want

Image via SAYS

This was probably our favourite feature of the LG PuriCare Tankless water purifier. You can choose between three temperatures—40°C for warm water or formula milk, 75°C for tea, and 85°C for coffee. You can also choose ambient water or cold water, which is dispensed at a cool, refreshing 8°C.Another feature of this water purifier is that you can select specific water volumes such as 120ml, 500ml, and 1000ml. Just tap it once, go do your thing, and come back with the perfect amount of water filled up!

4. You get to save on your electricity bill thanks to the energy efficiency

Image via LG

Since this water purifier doesn't use a tank, it doesn't need to constantly reboil water, thus saving energy. LG also uses their innovative Inverter Compressor and Induction Heating (IH) System to help provide almost instant hot, cold, or room temperature water while using less energy.

5. This sleek design is the perfect addition to any home

Image via SAYS

Being tankless and featuring a 17cm slim design, this modern looking home appliance will fit into any counter top, kitchen, or living room. It's also super flexible thanks to its 180° degree turning rotating tap. As seen in the picture above, the tap can rotate to dispense water from different positions for your convenience.

If you're worried about changing filters or taking care of your water purifier, don't fret because LG will personally send technicians to help you maintain it regularly

Image via SAYS

Thanks to LG's Total Service Care 1.2.3, you'll receive annual replacement of internal pipes, two-way sanitization by UV sterilization, and servicing every three months. You can even monitor your water purifier by referring to the touch display or downloading the Smart ThinQ app.

When this sleek water purifier arrives in Malaysia, you'll be able to have your own from only RM70 a month

Image via LG Electronics

The LG PuriCare Tankless water purifier comes in two versions:ATOM-R (WD512AN) - hot, cold, and ambient waterATOM-R (WD112AN) - ambient water

Pahang Could Be The 2nd State To Enforce Syariah-Compliant Attire For Athletes

Pahang has set its eyes on becoming the second state after Terengganu to enforce Syariah-compliant attire for Muslim athletes

In a report by New Straits Times, Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said yesterday, 21 January, that the government will be looking into the finer details before fully imposing the dress code on both male and female athletes. "We (state government) have taken the first step to implement it by conducting a state-level seminar on Syariah-compliant attire for athletes here today and the resolutions were presented to me," he was quoted as saying by New Straits Times. "So we are making the necessary efforts and maybe it could be made compulsory for one or two sports but let's wait and see."

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail  (second from right) receiving the resolution during the seminar on Syariah-compliant attire for athletes at Kolej Universiti Islam Pahang Sultan Ahmad Shah.

The decision on Syariah-compliant attire will have to be closely studied, with feedback received from various departments to be taken into account, according to the Pahang Menteri Besar

The departments include sports associations, academicians, Syariah experts, the state mufti, and sports apparel companies.While Wan Rosdy acknowledged that this regulation could face challenges such as backlash from sports associations or from the athletes themselves, he asserted that adhering to Syariah-compliant attires is not to satisfy human demands."However, adhering Syariah-compliant attires is not to meet human requirements but it is part of the instruction and command from Allah (God) that has to be obeyed," he told New Straits Times."The progress to introduce Syariah-compliant dress code for athletes in the country is seen as positive. For example, Terengganu has established guidelines for the use of such attires."

Previously, it was reported that Terengganu would begin implementing Syariah-compliant clothing for state athletes in 2019

According to Malaysiakini, the State Executive Council Wan Sukairi Wan Abdullah explained that the move was in line with Terengganu government's policy of placing Islam as the main pillar of guidance, including for sports. However, the Terengganu government did not give an enforcement time frame for the regulation.

If no problems arise, the change is expected to be carried out in Pahang from April onwards, starting with schools

Bernama reported that the sports listed include silat, fencing, archery, shooting, golf, wushu, tenpin bowling, taekwondo, judo aquatics, equestrian, netball, athletics, basketball, badminton, squash, volleyball, and sailing.

Last year, the Terengganu state government announced that they will be barring women from competing in gymnastics as they "display indecent movements" and "expose their bodies":

                Terengganu To Bar Women From Competing In Gymnastics Because They "Expose Their Bodies"

Sports Minister Syed Saddiq has said that he "will never tolerate this".

Taiwanese Primary School Students Invent Prawn Deshelling Machine & Now I Owe Them My Life

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

Most, if not all of us, have experienced the agonising process of having to peel whole prawns whenever we order a prawn dish.
And it takes AGES!

Image via @cbs/GIPHY

It's even worse when our hands get messy from peeling the shells and everything we touch gets dirty. :(

Don't mind us as we take our 50th trip to the washroom to clean our greasy fingers.

But those woes could be a thing of the past because three Taiwanese primary school students have invented a nifty automated prawn deshelling machine

According to TVBS News, the machine is the brainchild of the innovative trio who hail from Hsinchu, Taiwan.They reportedly failed seven times while designing the device before coming up with a functional prototype: four times when modelling the device, and another three times during the 3D-printing stage.Their project was supervised by their school teacher, however, the concept and structure of the machine were mainly from the three girls."Inventions often stem from mankind's laziness to do something, and they make life better for everyone," the teacher said.

The machine being 3D printed.
Image via TVBS News (YouTube)

So, how does the machine actually work?

Following the video report, the machine is operated by cogs, where the user has to first remove the head of the prawn, before feeding the rest of the body into the machine.The machine will then proceed to split the shell of the prawn and automatically churn it out for easy removal by the user. It even removes the prawn's innards in the process.

Image via TVBS News (YouTube)

The inspiration behind inventing the device came from one of the inventor's distaste for peeling prawn shells herself

However, she shared that the device was also designed for those who can't or have a harder time peeling prawns than the average person, namely children, elderly individuals, and the physically impaired."I don't like to peel prawns, and then I noticed that many physically disabled individuals aren't even able to do so. I hope that the device will be able to help them, and many others to save time and energy," she told reporters.The trio will continue to refine and perfect the device as it will be submitted for a competition.

Thank you, girls, for potentially making our prawn-eating experience easier in the near future!

Kind Stranger Spots Pak Cik Stranded By The Roadside And Buys Petrol For Him

It is always heartwarming to hear of Malaysians going out of their way to help those around them

A Twitter netizen recently shared of how she and her father were blessed with a kind gesture from a stranger.On 27 June, Nurul Nabillah Najwa wrote on Twitter that she and her father were riding home on his motorbike after he picked her from a job interview.

Image via Twitter @belldybala_

Unfortunately, their bike ran out of petrol somewhere in Bukit Jalil.
Left stranded, the two then parked outside an apartment nearby to decide what to do next.

They thought of walking with the motorbike to the nearest petrol station, which was located quite far away. Her dad had also asked her to take an LRT home but she refused because she wanted to stay with him.

Image via Twitter @belldybala_

Image via Twitter @belldybala_

Just when they began walking to the petrol station, a Chinese man rushed out of the apartment and asked what had happened

After her father explained their situation, Nabillah wrote that the man offered to help her dad buy petrol even though he looked like he was in a rush.Her dad then tried to pass him some money but the man replied, "Aiya after buying only ma".

Image via Twitter @belldybala_

He then came back 10 minutes later with a 'tong minyak' (barrel of petrol) estimated to have around RM7 worth of petrol.Her dad tried to pay him RM5 but the man refused and said, "Tak payah saya tolong you hari ini nanti orang tolong saya punya" (It's okay, today I help you, another day someone else will help me instead).

Uncle tu siap ckp" tnggu dlm 10mins aaa". After 10mins uncle tu pun smpai bwk tong mnyak weh. Sbb yela abah aku tkde botol spare. Kalau ikut tong full minyk utk tank rm7 centu la. Ayah aku hulur balik rm5. Dia ckp "takpayah2 saya tolong you hari ini nanti org tolong saya punyaa" pic.twitter.com/O0Fbzm61gW— Nebulaaa  (@belldybala_) June 27, 2019

Touched by the stranger's kind gesture, the girl ended her tweet thanking her dad for bringing her to the job interview and the uncle for helping them.

Drug Dealing Ustaz In Indonesia Sold Meth To Students So They Could 'Study Quran Better'

A religious teacher in Indonesia was recently arrested for selling drugs to his students, claiming it would help them recite and interpret the Quran better

Image via Kita Reporters

According to The Star, Ahmad Marzuki from Madura, Northeast Java was recently nabbed for the consumption and sale of methamphetamine. He was a teacher at an Islamic boarding school in East Java and he told police that using meth was permissible and would aid in reading the holy text.

He said, "I know that methamphetamine is illegal and forbidden to be used by the state, but I did not find arguments against it in the Quran"

Marzuki believes the powerful stimulant is halal and would turn students into enthusiastic readers, as reported by Vice Indonesia.Meanwhile, head of the Nahdlatul Ulama (Indonesia's largest independent Islamic organisation) KH Said Aqil Siradj said that the Quran must be interpreted with "common sense and deductive analogy". Muslim scholars generally consider drugs to be impermissible due to its intoxicating and harmful effects.

Prior to his arrest, Marzuki managed to evade the authorities for two months after police started looking for him

During that period, he continued to teach at other Islamic boarding schools in Surabaya and Mojokerto. theSundaily reported that he was finally apprehended when he returned to Madura for a funeral.Officers located Marzuki at his home, alongside two other people who were using methamphetamine. Local police chief Rama Samtama Putra said that they also found a small quantity of the substance and other drug paraphernalia in his house.

Marzuki faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a large fine

He will be charged under the Indonesian Narcotics Law which carries the punishment of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of IDR10 billion (approximately RM2.9 million).


M'sians Applying For US Visas Will Soon Need To Provide Their Social Media IDs

Foreigners travelling to the United States will soon have to submit all their social media IDs from the five years prior to their visa application

Image via Beach FM

The State Department plan was published on Friday, 30 March, and could affect nearly 15 million visa applicants, The Guardian reported.This procedure would apply to the DS-260 "Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Form" as well as the DS-160 "Application for Nonimmigrant Visa."

Additionally, applicants would have to provide phone numbers and email addresses used in the past five years, as well as answer a number of other enquiries

According to New Straits Times, the other questions concern records of international travel, any family involvement in terrorist activities, and whether applicants have been deported or have violated immigration law.

Citizens of around 40 countries which are usually granted visa-free travel will be unaffected by the new vetting procedure

Image via The Express Tribune

Citizens of US allies such as Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and South Korea will be exempted, reported New Straits Times.The proposed measures will also not affect diplomatic or official travellers.

US President Donald Trump, who introduced the new measures in 2017, contended that "extreme vetting" is necessary to identify potential extremists before they set foot into the US

Image via ABC

In the past year, Trump has vowed to increase national security and border protections.

These measures are not entirely new. During the Obama administration, social media information from select visitors were collected in 2016.

Image via The Hill

This came shortly after it was revealed that the attackers in the 2015 San Bernadino shooting, from which 14 people were killed, received visas despite allegedly advocating radicalisation on their social media accounts.However, the Trump administration’s visa vetting is more stringent as most visitors would be asked about their use of social media, reported The Guardian.

There will be a 60-day period from the date of announcement in which comments on rule changes can be submitted

The deadline for comments is 29 May.


Get Ready To Pay 1,000-Yen When Leaving Japan From January 2019

From 7 January 2019 onwards, all travellers will have to pay 1,000 yen (approx. RM36) while leaving Japan under a new departure tax

According to a report Nikkei Asian Review, the new departure tax is part of an effort to raise 40 billion yen annually to boost tourism in the country.The new tax, which begins next year, will be levied on foreigners and Japanese alike when they buy tickets to leave Japan by plane or ship.Nikkei Asian Review reported that airlines and travel companies will need to update their booking system to collect the new departure tax."We are trying to gauge how big of an update," an official from All Nippon Airways was quoted as saying by Nikkei Asian Review

There are two categories of people who will be exempted

Under the tax, which obtained approval from the Diet (Japan's Parliament) on Wednesday at the plenary session of the upper house, toddlers under the age of two and transit passengers leaving Japan within 24 hours of their arrival will be exempted.

Image via Nikkei

The Diet also passed a legislation to ensure that the revenue from the departure tax cannot be used outside tourism-related projects

According to a report in The Mainichi, Japan's national daily, the legislation also encourages operators of public transportation services to enhance access to Wi-Fi along with improving electronic payment systems.The Japanese government will use the money raised to help tourists enjoy "pleasant and stress-free" trips, facilitate access to information on tourist attractions and prepare resources for visitors to experience Japanese culture and nature, the report said.Based on the 40 million people who departed Japan in 2016, it is estimated that the new tax could generate about ¥40 billion in a fiscal year.

The new levy is similar to the departure tax charged by other countries such as the United States, Australia and South Korea

Meanwhile, Singapore's Changi Airport, which currently charges departing passengers SGD3, will raise the departure tax by SGD13.30 from 1 July onwards to help fund a major airport expansion, involving the building of Terminal 5.

8 Reasons Why This Photo Is Everything That Is Wrong In The Fashion Industry

Editor's Note: The Story Below Contains Adult Content

Russian magazine Buro 24/7 posted a photo of socialite and Garage Magazine Editor-In-Chief Dasho Zhukova sitting on a bounded black woman for an interview on 20 January 2014

Garage Magazine Editor-In-Chief Dasha Zhukova Sits On A 'Black Woman' Chair In Shocking Editorial
Image via fashionbombdaily.com

20 Jan 2014, Miroslava Duma’s new online magazine Buro 247 published an article on Russian socialite Dasha Zhukova. The illustration? A serene looking Zhukova sitting on a ‘black woman’ chair.

        fashionbombdaily.com

The Editor-in-Chief of Garage magazine perches on a black ‘dummy,’ (not a real human) who is nude save panties, a garter belt, elbow length gloves, and knee high boots, her folded knees suggestively pushing her naked breasts against her body. As Dasha stares out at the camera in the light filled room, she appears the total opposite of the compromised black woman on the floor.

        fashionbombdaily.com

Needless to say, people were offended and disgusted by the racist nature of the photo, forcing the editor, Miroslava Duma to issue a statement and apology.

“Buro 247″ is run by Miroslava Duma, the girlfriend of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. The magazine has since cropped the chair out of the photograph.
Duma posted the offensive image to Instagram before deleting it in the face of a barrage of critical comments.

Buro 24/7 has since edited the colour and cropped the photo. Here are 8 reasons why Garage Magazine has opened up a can of worms with their shocking artistic direction:

1. Modern day ignorance is the only explanation as to why the photo was posted on Martin Luther King Day, a day where the world honours the man who led the emancipation of black people from slaves to citizens.

As we pause to reflect on Dr. King’s enduring message of Civil Rights and equality, we must deal with the reality of modern day ignorance and racial insensitivity.

        fashionbombdaily.com

Modern day ignorance is the only answer to why the photo was coincidentally posted on Martin Luther King Day, a day where the world honours the man who lead the emancipation of black people from slaves to citizens.

2. The women-furniture sculptures that were designed by Allen Jones in 1969 were a reflection of the experiences of women in that era. It was never meant to be sat on.

The women-furniture sculptures that were designed by Allen Jones in 1969 were a reflection of the experiences of women in that era.

Today Mr Jones said: “It’s obviously a copy of my sculpture and I supposed I should be flattered.
“I never meant the chair to be sat on.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone using it as actual furniture and I think it would be rather uncomfortable.”

        standard.co.uk

In Jones's view ‘because these 3 sculptures of women are recognisably representational it is less obvious that the sculpture is not about being naturalistic. They are not so much about representing woman but the experience of woman, not an illusion’.

        tate.org.uk

3. The art direction of a white woman sitting on a black woman evokes a totally different definition to the art work

Ms Zhukova was pictured sat on the mannequin of a half-naked black woman for a photoshoot with Buro 24/7
Image via independent.co.uk

The black woman is barely clothed, bound up, and clearly objectified. She is being used as the sexual object elevating the white woman.
This image says, “We might accept white women as equals, people with value beyond their bodies, but not black women. Never black women.”

        women24.com

4. The image of a white woman sitting on a black woman portrays white dominance and superiority over the latter

The message: white dominance and superiority, articulated in a seemingly serene yet overtly degrading way.

5. The repercussion of  mass black oppression is still felt by the black community until today. The picture is insensitive to those who are still recovering from the pain that they, or their ancestors had experienced.

The most poignant thing about the photo is that it is a very accurate depiction of how black women (and black people in general) are treated in the fashion industry.

6. Racism aside, it does not matter if the chair was white, yellow, or purple. Women are not objects and should not be turned into "things".

7. The photo promotes the idea of casual racism, sexism, and hyper-sexualization of women in the fashion industry

8. The photo also proves how readily fashion would sacrifice the decency of a woman, man or child to be cutting edge

The art and fashion industries are the few bastions of society where blatant racism and ignorance are given the greenlight in the name of creativity.

Nobody Helped This Man Who Walked For Almost 10 Hours Until This Stranger Came Along

"It's okay to help."
That's what a man had to say after meeting a stranger who had difficulty finding his way home, after no one wanted to help him.

Image via Radin Danial

It happened earlier this month, when Radin Danial was travelling home, when he remembered that he had something important that needed to be sorted out immediately. It was about 3am.  "Taking out my clothes and jacket, I (was) planning to go straight back to my home. Suddenly, I see someone walking on the highway. Alone...," Radin said.Radin, who travels on that road often, realised that there are no houses nearby in the area.

"So I stopped, asking him if he needed a ride. He asked, 'Is that okay?'"

Without hesitating, Radin said, "Of course. Where do you want to go?"The man replied, "Kajang." Not many questions were asked but the man got on Radin's motorcycle and they were on their way to Kajang.However, the journey to Kajang took some time due to the long distance, so the duo stopped by at a Petron petrol station to take a break and to refuel his motorcycle.

Radin got to know the man better from the short time they shared together at the petrol station

He had so many questions: Where did he come from? Where did he start walking from? Why was he walking? "The answers he gave me really shocked me," Radin said."His name is Ganesan. He is a general worker at a private company. After his work was done, he was left behind because he was late. His wallet, phone, and IC were in the van that left him."  "Guess where he started walking from? DAMANSARA. He started walking at 6.00pm, now it's 3.30am. Nine hours and 30 minutes walking from Damansara because no one wants to help him. Not just for a ride but even a single phone call." He learned that Ganesan had been walking on an empty stomach because he did not have any money with him, having left his wallet. "I can't imagine how hungry it must have been for him to walk for almost 10 hours without food and drinks."

Radin had offered Ganesan some drinks that he had brought along earlier, but the hungry lad rejected his offer because he was ashamed

Radin told Ganesan, "If I have even just RM5 or RM10 with me, I will take you to have dinner. But I'm so sorry that this is the only how much money I have. Just enough to buy petrol because all the money I have has been spent on my wedding this week." "I'm so sorry for not having any money left. But I promise that I will buy you lunch or dinner next time when I get some money."  However, Ganesan was grateful that someone had actually reached out to help him when everyone else had ignored him, in his lonely walk home."He said, 'It's okay.' He is glad that I came to help him because people that he approached before this didn't bother to help him at all," Radin said.

It was his own hardships that compelled Radin to reach out to strangers in need because he understands how it is like when there's no one to help you when you need it the most

"Because I was there. I feel their pain, desperately wanting help from others. But it was a pain in the a## to ask for help because no one wants to help when we need them," he said.  He pointed out that some people only needed a phone call to inform their worried family and friends about what happened, and not like they needed a thousand ringgit. There was once when Radin's own motorcycle ran out of fuel and he didn't have any money and the petrol station was quite far away.  "I was there waving my hand to others so they can stop and help me. But no one stopped. So I walked for almost 10km just to refuel my motorcycle before I can continue my journey."

"All these experiences make me think that if there's no one else who wants to help, then I will."

Radin said that he knows his own limitations, like if there is a charity donation and he can't help because he "is also in the middle of a crisis"." However, he said that he will always find ways to contribute, even if he cannot do it in monetary terms.  "At least I do something rather than do nothing. Because at the end of the day, people will likely remember us not because of our money but what we have done for others."

Thank you, Radin, for showing great kindness to someone in need!
