Woman Shares The Hassle She Has To Go Through To Pay Fine For Using Phone While Driving

A Facebook post by a woman detailing the hassle she has to go through to settle a fine for using her phone while driving has gone viral

In the post published on Tuesday, 29 September, the woman, Mellonie Chin, claimed she was fined RM1,000 for picking up a short phone call to say "ok ok" to her client.According to her, she knew using her phone while driving is illegal, but due to the constant ringing over three missed calls, she decided to pick it up at a traffic light in Penang.Five minutes later, she was stopped at a roadblock and fined RM1,000 for the offence.She was told by a police officer to pay the fine at a court.

Saddened by the hefty fine, she eventually learned that being fined was not the only lesson she had to go through.
Paying it was another.

She said it was the first time in her life that she was fined RM1,000 and needed to go to the court for it."My husband also said the normal procedure is to go to a counter to pay the summons and that he never heard the need to go to mahkamah (the court)," wrote Chin."So today (28 September) I went to the nearest police station to ask about the way to pay the fine."When the woman arrived at the police station, she was told by an officer that she does not need to go to the court to pay for the fine, citing that it is only necessary if the offender wants to appeal against the fine.She was referred to a traffic police station instead where the officer promised that the fine can be resolved there.

Little did she know that complication awaited her at the traffic police station as well

At the traffic police station, she was told by an officer guarding the station that her summons could not be settled there."You can't pay the summons here. You have to pay it at the white building ahead," she quoted the police officer as saying.Frustrated, she went to the third building that day in the hope to pay the fine once and for all."I went to the counter (in the building) and saw people holding summons ready to pay at the counters," she wrote."This time it is right! I pressed the number and waited to say bye bye to my RM1,000 cheque."When it was her turn, she was let down again.The personnel at the counter said, "Your case is special. You can't pay it at the cashier. You need to go to court for it."By the end of the day, Chin complained that it had wasted her entire morning and that she was back to square one despite all the trouble.

The next day, her husband took her to the Magistrate's Court at George Town

Chin went up to a security guard and was told that the court was not open until 8.30am.After some waiting, she was called at a counter and learned that she was not supposed to come to the court on that day."Why did you come so early," said a personnel at the building, adding, "It's useless to come so early. Your court is not ready.""You can come to court late, but never early."Disappointed, she went home not achieving anything again.

In retrospect, Chin said the reason she wrote the post was to share her experience of paying the fine of a non-compoundable offence as not a lot of people have experienced it

In a photo she uploaded, the summons stated a date of when she needs to go to court to pay for the fine."My purpose for writing this karangan (essay) is very simple," she said."Maybe some people don't know how to deal with this kind of special case. I wrote it just to reduce the wrong trips people may be making."

Image via Mellonie Chin (Facebook)

Using a phone while driving has been a non-compoundable offence since 6 July, but police noticed that many Malaysians seem to be unaware about it and still break the rule:

                Beware, Drivers! You Will Now Have To Go To Court If Caught Using Your Phone While Driving

It was previously a compoundable offence that could be settled by paying a fine.

You Can Now Stream 24 Netflix Titles In M'sia With Cinema-Quality Audio At No Extra Cost

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

Netflix users, rejoice! A new and improved listening experience has arrived. :O

Recently, Netflix and German audio company Sennheiser announced that they will be integrating a newly-developed audio on select Netflix streaming content to deliver a significantly improved listening experience.

Netflix & Sennheiser are teaming to bring the new Ambeo 2-Channel Spatial Audio technology to Netflix and it works with any stereo setup— Utsav Techie (@utsavtechie) July 8, 2022

So, what's the significance of this new audio experience?

Amid a survey conducted among viewers, it was clear that most viewers watch their streaming content through devices with standard  audio, a.k.a. sound that comes from two or more speakers.However, with Netflix's and Sennheiser's newly-developed AMBEO 2-Channel Spatial Audio renderer, viewers can now experience a Dolby Atmos level of audio often used in films in movie theatres.What this means is, viewers will now be able to effectively experience a 'cinema-style' sound experience, where sounds surround you from the front, behind, from the side, and even above your head. As a result, your watching experience will feel more immersive and exciting.

The cool thing is that you don't need to have a home cinema setup to benefit from this new listening experience

Image via AUTO-DS

Basically, this new audio was developed so users operating devices with standard audio systems can experience 'cinema-style' audio quality through their standard devices. So generally any device or gadget that can run Netflix will benefit from it — be it laptops, tablets, stereo systems, TV sets, or smartphones with stereo audio.

"How do I know which titles have spatial audio?"

Simple! Just go over to your Netflix search bar and search "spatial audio". In Malaysia, there are currently 24 titles that support this audio feature.

Image via SAYS

In fact, the trending Stranger Things 4 supports this spatial audio feature too!

Image via Digital Spy

Netflix is the first ever streaming platform to deliver on this new audio experience. One of their select titles is Stranger Things 4. Through this enhanced audio, viewers will be able to experience enhanced spatial audio automatically when they watch shows like Stranger Things — with no extra changes required.Now, viewers can listen to the screeching beauty of their favourite Demogorgons more immersively than ever!

How Much Ang Pow Do People Give At Weddings In 2019?

So, you've just been invited to yet another wedding and you're racking your brain deciding how much ang pow to give to the newlyweds

Image via Her World

It's not the case for everyone, but there's often an unspoken expectation for monetary gifts as married couples try to cover their costs with the cash they receive back from guests. But how do we decide how much to give without going broke or being considered too cheapskate?

We asked several Malaysians how much ang pow they give and how they decide on the amount:

"I usually see how close I am to the person."

Image via Inside Weddings (edit)

"If it's a close member of the family and a close friend, I would give more. "If not, I will go with the usual kenduri/temple wedding - RM50, chinese restaurant - RM100, hotel - RM150, five-star hotel - RM200, which I based on the average market rate and a little bit more to just wish the newlyweds well as they embark on a new journey." – Diane, 30

"On average, I tend to give about RM100 - RM200."

Image via Her World

"That feels like the 'right' amount for me, it's not too little so I don't feel like a cheapskate and it's not too much so I'm not broke after attending just one wedding. "The main things I consider are how close I am to the couple and where the wedding is being held. I tend to give more for couples that I'm very close to or if the wedding is being held in an expensive location." – Chitra, 27

"I usually return the favour based on how much they gave for my wedding."

Image for illustration purposes only.
Image via Annabel Law Productions/Singapore Brides

"We listed down how much each guest gave for our wedding because it's customary to return the favour, in my opinion. For example, it wouldn't seem fair to give them only RM100 if they had gifted us with RM200." – Katie, 40

"I think in KL at least, RM120 should be minimum."

Image for illustration purposes only.
Image via The Chapter

"So if it's a friend I've known for a while, I'll try to give RM150 to help cover the costs cause weddings are not cheap (although we once ate Nando's at my friend's wedding). If I don't want to give ang pow I just try to not attend the wedding at all – no need to think so much."It can be very straining if you have multiple weddings to attend in the same month." – Jia Le, 25

"I usually ask around, especially when I know friends who are invited to the same wedding."

Image for illustration purposes only.
Image via Capitol Romance (edit)

"Most of the time, it depends on the 'market rate' where the wedding is held. For example, Kuala Lumpur and Seremban –– both charge differently when it comes to food, venue, etc."So, for a KL wedding, maybe RM120? And RM80 - RM100 for one in Seremban for example? Anything over RM80 is an adequate amount for a token of appreciation, I think. "I'd also ask around, especially when I know friends who are invited to the same wedding. But the rule of thumb should always apply: Pay what you can afford." – John, 27

"Usually I give 200, which I think is a fair amount."

Image via RinggitPlus

"It is what I want to and can afford to give that represents my thanks for having me there as part of their celebration."If it's someone closer to me, I would give more but depends on who the person is lah."  – May, 27

"We don't do the thing where we refer to how much the person gave us at our wedding and match that."

Image via Free Pik (edit)

"The basic that I give is RM300 between my husband and I. And RM150 if I'm attending on my own. I usually decide based on my relationship with the couple and the venue of the reception. "If my husband and I are really close to the person/couple, and if we know the couple would need the money, then we'll give more."We don't do the thing where we refer to how much the person gave us at our wedding and match that, unless they gave us a significantly big ang pow and we try to 'give back' within our means." – Judith, 33

"I decide on the amount based on how many weddings are within the same period."

Image via BankBazaar

"I usually give a range between RM150 - RM300. And I base the amount on:- How close I am with the person (the closer the person, the more I give).- How often weddings are (too many within the same period, means lesser amount).- My situation at the time. For example, as a student, I would give RM50. But as a working adult, I give more." – Dominic, 29

How do you decide how much ang pow to give at weddings? Let us know in the comments section below!

Is it considered cheapskate to give gifts instead of cash? We found out below:

All You Need To Know About The Samsung Galaxy S9 And S9+ That Were Just Launched Today

Earlier today, Korean tech giant Samsung unveiled its latest flagship devices, the Galaxy S9 and S9+, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona

Samsung's mobile boss, DJ Koh, unveils the new Galaxy S9 and S9+ at Mobile World Congress 2018.
Image via Samsung/YouTube

The new Galaxy S9 and S9+ look similar to their predecessors. Just like the Galaxy S8 and S8+, the newest flagship devices will have a 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch Quad HD+ Curved Super Amoled infinity screen respectively. However, what you really should pay attention to is the upgrades made to the phones' interiors, and here's what you should know:

Image via Evening Standard

1. The 12-megapixel Galaxy S9 camera is now a combination of function and fun

Image via Samsung (edited)

Samsung introduced new features such as Super Slow-mo, Dual Aperture, AR Emoji, and an improved version of its artificial intelligence assistant, Bixby.This means that you can now capture small moments that pass too quickly to be seen by the naked eye, and take clear pictures in various lighting conditions thanks to a mechanically adjustable aperture, switching between f/1.5 to f/2.4 depending on surroundings.In another move perceived to be a take on Apple's Animoji, the new AR Emoji feature generates a personalised 3D avatar that looks just like you.Furthermore, Samsung's version of Siri, Bixby now has nine different camera modes including Text, Food, Makeup, Wine, Shopping, Image, QR Code and more. These functions will give users instant information about their surroundings.

2. The Galaxy S9 retains the 3.5mm headphone jack, and comes with AKG-tuned stereo speakers that are 40% louder

The stereo speakers have been positioned at the earpiece and bottom of the device, which will provide a Dolby Atmos effect to give users the 360-degree listening experience, either with or without headphones.

Image via The Verge

3. Even though the Galaxy S9 looks and feels the same as the S8, you won't be able to use your S8 phone case on the S9

According to The Verge, the two phones have slightly different dimensions, and the S9 weighs a little more than the S8. Apart from that, the fingerprint scanner on the S9 is now at the bottom of the camera, which makes it easier to reach. So, it's time for a new phone case!

Image via Samsung/YouTube

4. The Galaxy S9 has the same battery size, RAM, and internal storage as the S8

According to Techradar, the new flagship phone retains a 3,000mAh battery size, 4GB RAM, and a 64GB internal storage. Like the S8, the S9 also has an IP68 rating, which means it is water resistant to a maximum depth of 1.5m for up to 30 minutes, and is protected from dust, dirt and sand without the need for extra caps or covers.

The Galaxy S9 will be released on 16 March globally, featuring the colours Midnight Black, Coral Blue, and Lilac Purple

Image via The Verge

The 64GB Galaxy S9 will start at RM3,299 and the S9+ at RM3,799. The S9+ also comes in 128GB, which will cost RM3,999 and RM4,399 for 256GB.You can pre-order the phone from 1 March to 4 March, and bring home a Harman Kardon Onyx Mini Bluetooth Speaker worth RM699.For more information on the pre-order, you can visit Samsung's official website here.

Father In Perak Camps In Hospital Carpark To Be Close To Son Suffering From Brain Tumour

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

A 40-year-old man in Perak resorted to camping in his car in the parking lot of a hospital just to be as close as possible to his son, who was recently hospitalised

According to New Straits Times, Adi Saifullizam Abdul Sani has been camping in his car since Friday, 6 January, after his youngest son, eight-year-old Muhammad Afeef Mikhail, was diagnosed with a brain tumour on the same day and had to be admitted to the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital in Ipoh, Perak, for treatment.Adi's temporary home set-up features a tent he propped up with the trunk door of his car, with pillows and blankets lining the interior of the vehicle."It's not that comfortable sleeping in a car but it's alright, as long as I can be nearby in case of anything," the father-of-three said.He reportedly declined his friends' offers to stay with them, as they were all about 30 minutes away from the hospital.

Adi, along with his wife, Aminah Othman, have also made other sacrifices in their lives in order to accompany their young son throughout his time in the hospital

The couple had discussed their finances beforehand to see if it was feasible for Adi to travel back and forth from their home in Trolak, Perak, to the hospital.In the end, they decided that it was best for Adi to spend the nights in his car, while Aminah stayed in the paediatric ward with their son.It was also revealed that Adi took one week of unpaid leave from the factory he worked at in Bidor in order to be with his family. The couple's other two children were left in the care of their relatives.Right now, the doting father can only hope for the best outcome for his son's condition."We can just hope for the best to see if the tumour is aggressive or otherwise," he told reporters.

Muhammad Afeef was hospitalised when he experienced swelling between his eyes and along his spine and had to undergo a CT scan

The results indicated a tumour in the boy's brain, prompting doctors to ward him immediately.Muhammad Afeef also had to undergo an operation for doctors to collect cell samples from the tumour for testing. He is currently in stable condition.

  A post shared by DR. Princhiqy Dinzly (@iqramdinzly) on Dec 23, 2017 at 12:44am PST

Perangai Iqram mula menjadi buah mulut netizen sejak Oktober lalu apabila beliau sering berkongsi gambar yang pelik lagi aneh selepas bapanya, Muhammad Saipuddin Datuk Seri Ahmad Said meninggal dunia pada 10 Oktober lalu kerana penyakit diabetes dan darah tinggi serta diserang angin ahmar.

Ramai membuat spekulasi bahawa dia sedang mengalami depression. Ada juga yang berkata ia merupakan kesan daripada menuntut ilmu yang salah

  A post shared by DR. Princhiqy Dinzly (@iqramdinzly) on Dec 24, 2017 at 11:15pm PST

Keadaan fizikal Iqram juga jauh berbeza jika dibandingkan ketika dia aktif berlakon dahulu.

  A post shared by DR. Princhiqy Dinzly (@iqramdinzly) on Dec 25, 2017 at 2:35am PST

Netizen menganggap depression, ajaran sesat, dan najis dadah merupakan punca Iqram Dinzly berperangai sebegitu.Ramai juga yang meluahkan rasa sedih kerana insan yang aktif berlakon drama dan filem suatu ketika dahulu kini sudah menjadi orang lain.

Antara rakan artis yang rapat dengannya seperti Zulin Aziz berkata bahawa Iqram ketika ini amat memerlukan sokongan moral daripada semua pihak

Iqram ni memang solat tak tinggal.lepak ngan dia kat mall cari surau.dtg open house umah aku mntk tumpang solat.bukan di buat2 pun. Doakan yg baik utk dia .dia org yg baik.— ZulinAziz (@iamzulinaziz) December 22, 2017

Aku xpaham yg sejenis pergi kat live si iqram dinzly tu pastu maki2 dia..mana lah tau dia stress ke apa ke ko tambah lg buat apa. Sian aku tengok .bagi lah dia semangat ke doakan kan dia ke.— ZulinAziz (@iamzulinaziz) December 22, 2017

Beliau juga mengajak orang ramai untuk berhenti memaki hamun sebaliknya mendoakan yang baik-baik untuk Iqram.

Selain itu, seniwati negara Erma Fatima juga memberi sokongan moral terhadap Iqram serta percaya beliau masih sama seperti dulu

    AKU TAK PERCAYA! Biar apa pun kata mereka...aku tetap tak percaya. Dimana jua kau berada dik...akak percaya kau tahu apa yang sedang kau lakukan. Setiap kali akak tengok video live kau...setiap kali itu hati akak yakin...kau sedang membuat satu persembahan di atas panggung utk kami melihat diri kami. Maki hamun..keji mengeji itulah KITA. Terima kasih dik kerana mengingatkan KAMI tentang DIRI KAMI. Akak PERCAYA..akak PERCAYA...Kau masih Ikram Dizly yg aku kenal dulu.  A post shared by  Ermafatima (@ermafatima) on Dec 23, 2017 at 9:00am PST

Erma Fatima juga menyuarakan pendapat beliau di Instagram beliau dengan menidakkan apa yang diperkatakan oleh netizen dan sebaliknya menyatakan beliau yakin bahawa Iqram tahu apa yang dilakukannya.

Jika benar Iqram sedang mengalami depression, seharusnya kita menghulurkan bantuan dan mendoakan yang terbaik untuknya, bukan menjadikan bahan jenaka

Di malaysia, major depression disorder ni masih boleh dibuat lawak oleh netizen. Walhal depression is a silent killer. Orang yang depress ibarat pelakon di depan orang sekeliling. Gembira di hadapan orang tetapi murung bila bersendirian.— Lucaspeebo (@Lucaspeebo) December 23, 2017

Sebab takut masyarakat akan judge mereka mengada, manja atau gila. Mental sickness lagi bahaya dari fizikal sickness sebab tiada orang nampak dan tiada orang akan faham.— Lucaspeebo (@Lucaspeebo) December 23, 2017

Di Malaysia, ramai yang tidak peka tentang mental sickness yang boleh terjadi kepada sesiapa sahaja. Sebaliknya netizen di Malaysia akan mengecam secara berterusan dan bertindak memalukan apabila berhadapan mereka yang mengalami penyakit ini.Ia merupakan perkara serius dan harus diambil berat oleh semua pihak.

5 Common Habits You May Not Realise Can Negatively Affect Your Child's Growth And Health

As a parent, it's perfectly normal to worry about your little ones' growth and health

"My daughter is picky, how do I get her to eat?", "Help, my boy's height is way below average!", "How do you get your child to sleep through the night?", "My child is always falling sick, what do I do?"We've all spent countless nights Googling oddly specific questions about our kids, or asked Facebook groups for advice. After all, as parents we only want what's best for our kids.

All that worrying is definitely warranted, as research has found that the first five years of childhood is crucial in your child's growth

Image via Penn Today

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards, 60% of your child's adult height is achieved during their first five years¹. However, in Malaysia, stunting is prevalent among Malaysian children and it comes with long-term consequences like shorter adult height and lower academic performance.This is why it's important to provide your child with a complete and balanced nutritional foundation during the first five years when they experience rapid growth. Not only is physical growth important, this is also the time they learn important skills, including how to socialise, emotional regulation, good behaviour, thinking independently, and communication.While parents are always doing the best they can, there are a few everyday habits that can creep into your family lifestyle, which may affect your child's overall growth.

Here are five common habits you may not realise negatively affect your child's growth:

1. Children spending more time playing on screens instead of playing outside

Image via theAsianparent

It's no secret that screen addiction can be a serious issue, not just for adults, but children too. While YouTube videos and games once in a while can certainly be a life-saver for busy parents, it's important to try and keep a cap on screen time.Instead, encourage your children to get at least an hour of exercise a day to help strengthen muscles and bones and maintain a healthy weight. Running, jumping, climbing, and playing are all forms of exercise, and have many benefits. Whenever you get the chance, bring them to the playground to help them stay active while having fun!

2. Not having a set bedtime that is age appropriate

Image via Los Angeles Times

In the long term, a child's growth may be affected if they do not get their full amount of sleep. According to The Sleep Council, kids from three to six years old need around 10 to 12 hours each night. That's because growth hormones are released during sleep. When children are deprived of their sleeping hours, it prevents them for achieving their maximum height potential.With daycares, kindergartens, and schools reopening, it's important to set an early bedtime to ensure your child gets enough rest, and is able to wake up early and refreshed the next day.

3. Not checking in on your kid's hygiene routine regularly

Image via Health Hub

Parents will, of course, teach their children good hygiene habits, such as showering, brushing teeth, washing hands, and using the toilet properly. However, kids can get lax about their hygiene routine, so it's important to check in on them from time to time, just to make sure they're still on track and keeping good habits.Once in a while, make it a point to wash hands with soap together, or watch them brush their teeth to ensure they're doing it correctly.Good hygiene habits are an important way to reduce the number of sick days. Falling ill can negatively impact a child's growth. When children fall sick, the nutrients that they consume are redirected to fight against the illness, thus becoming ineffective in contributing to their growth.

4. Allowing kids to dictate when and what they eat

Image via Project We Forgot

One of the most important things that affects your child's growth is the food they eat. Your child's adult height is reliant on the first five years of their life, with nutrition contributing 80% to their growth².Of course, getting your child to eat a healthy, balanced diet is easier said than done! While we can't force kids to finish their meals (or sometimes even try it!) we can set good eating habits. This starts with setting meal and snack times, offering them healthier snacks like fruits and nuts, and making small changes like using wholemeal bread instead of white bread.

5. Keeping children away from the sun

Image via Stocksy

While being under the sun for too long can be dangerous, sunshine gives our bodies important vitamins. Sun exposure allows us to make vitamin D, a crucial vitamin that aids in bone development, strengthening the immune system, and providing a good night's sleep. All of this leads to healthy growth in children.Kids need a little sunshine every day. Bring them for morning walks in the neighbourhood, to the park on weekends, or have breakfast on the porch or balcony once in a while.

As a parent, there's nothing more rewarding than seeing your child grow into their full potential

Image via Healthline

However, a recent survey by IMFeD For Growth and Abbott showed that 1 in 6 Malaysian children between one and five years old have stunted growth³. This means that almost 17% of young kids in Malaysia aren't growing to their fullest potential.

PediaSure® wants to help Malaysian parents keep their kids' growth on track

Through their Grow Right campaign, PediaSure wants to educate Malaysian parents on the four growth drivers for children to achieve their full growth potential:1. Good nutrition2. Good hygiene3. More playtime4. Adequate sleep

M'sian Artist Sets Artwork Ablaze For Cover Of TIME Magazine Special Issue

Malaysian contemporary artist Red Hong Yi has created a stunning masterpiece for the cover of the latest issue of TIME magazine

Known as 'the artist who paints without a paintbrush', Red was commissioned by the internationally-renowned magazine to create a piece for its 26 April special issue on climate change.TIME needed someone to illustrate the dramatic effects of climate change on our world. And they couldn't have placed the task in better hands.

Image via Red Hong Yi (Facebook)

The Sabah-born artist-cum-architect spent two weeks with her team creating an image that was part installation, part performance art

Red, who has made a name for herself internationally for creating art with everyday objects, this time created a 2.3m x 3m world map out of 50,000 matchsticks and set it ablaze."The motivation behind it came from the urgency of having to tackle (climate change) together," explained Red in a TIME interview."The idea came from wanting to highlight a world map, where everyone's involved, and if one place is affected, the whole place is affected."

Image via David Yeow and Annice Lyn/TIME

Red later revealed that the whole production was carried out by herself and a team of Malaysians in Kuala Lumpur

In a Facebook post, Red proudly announced that everything, from the setup to the videoshoot, took place in an old warehouse at KongsiKL with the help of 14 other Malaysian creatives."My team and I spent two weeks sticking matchsticks non-stop for eight hours a day, and then we watched the piece burn down in two minutes," she said.According to TIME, they first had to design the dimensions of the world map on a computer, before using a laser to meticulously cut out holes to position the matchsticks on the board.They then sprayed layers of fire retardant paint on the front and back of the board, and set the green matchsticks — a metaphor for trees — on fire.

Image via Annice Lyn/TIME

The artist concluded that she was grateful for the opportunity and honour of creating a cover for the international magazine

"Incredibly honoured to have created the artwork for TIME's special issue this month on climate change. A huge thanks to the TIME team for having us!" Red wrote on Instagram.She added that the print magazine will be on sale on newsstands worldwide starting Friday, 16 April.

Dah Bersedia Nak Puasa Esok? Jom Semak 7 'Checklist' Ini Dulu

Kurang sehari saja lagi, Ramadan bakal menjelang tiba. Kata orang '"pejam celik pejam celik" setahun sudah pun berlalu

Bulan Ramadan adalah bulan yang penuh barakah yang mana pada bulan inilah seluruh umat Islam berlumba-lumba untuk meraih pahala bukan sahaja dengan berpuasa malah amalan-amalan sunat yang lain.Bak kata orang "siapa buat dialah yang dapat!"

Image via giphy.com

Tetapi sebelum itu, bersediakah kita semua nak menyambut Ramadan kali ni? Jom kita cek sikit checklist yang perlu kita buat sebelum Ramadan kali ni:

1. Jaga kesihatan

Perkara paling utama yang perlu anda titik beratkan ialah kesihatan. Kita perlu menjaga kesihatan untuk memastikan kita dapat melakukan ibadah puasa dengan baik dan lancar. Elakkan melakukan perkara yang menjejaskan kesihatan anda. Ambil peluang untuk melakukan ibadah sebanyak mungkin. Dengan kesihatan yang baik, InshaAllah kita juga dapat melaksanakan ibadah sunat yang lain seperti solat tarawih.

Image via www.merdeka.com

2. Semak hukum dan rukun puasa

Adalah penting untuk kita menyemak semula hukum hakam, rukun, perkara-perkara membatalkan puasa dan sebagainya. Yelah, puasa ini kan setahun sekali. Mungkin ada part yang kita dah lupa. Ini adalah untuk memastikan ibadah yang kita lakukan tidak sia-sia.

Image via www.mawaddahcenter.com

3. Ambil tahu amalan-amalan sunat

Waktu bulan puasa inilah kita nak meraih banyak pahala sebab bulan Ramadan adalah bulan yang penuh rahmat. Jadi apa kata kita ambil tahu semula amalan-amalan sunat yang boleh kita lakukan sewaktu berpuasa ni. Contohnya membaca al-quran, solat-solat sunat dan banyak lagi. Setidak-tidaknya kita sudah pun bersedia untuk menjalankan aktiviti harian ketika di bulan ramadan nanti.

Image via prayerinislam.tumblr.com

4. Sentiasa berdoa

Walaupun bulan Ramadan bakal tiba tak lama lagi, apa kata sering berdoa "Allahumma Ballighna Ramadhan". Semoga kita semua berpeluang untuk bertemu Ramadan kali ini. Lagi banyak lagi bagus sebab berdoa kan dapat pahala?

Image via Dunia Jilbab

5. Mujahadah bangun malam

Dalam ilmu tasawwuf, mujahadah lebih menitikberatkan kepada usaha melawan hawa nafsu secara bersungguh-sungguh untuk mencapai reda Allah. Orang yang bermujahadah dipanggil mujahid. Ketika bulan Ramadan ini, digalakkan kita semua untuk bermujahadah dengan berjaga sewaktu malam. Amat malang pada zaman sekarang ini manusia berjaga malam bukan untuk beribadat tapi untuk buat maksiat. Keindahan malam yang mahal harganya ditukar dengan noda dan dosa.

Image via dirihamba.blogspot.my

6. Jaga lidah & kurangkan bercakap

Orang kata elakkan melakukan perkara sia-sia sewaktu bulan puasa. Sewaktu berpuasa inilah kita harus menjaga segala tutur kata dan bicara kita. Jaga lidah anda daripada perkara keji seperti mengumpat dan mencaci. Yang mana suka banyak cakap tu, eloklah mula untuk kurangkan dari bercakap perkara yang sia-sia. Ingat, semakin banyak percakapan kita, semakin banyak khilaf yang kita lakukan.

Image via muslimvillage.com

7. Mengingatkan antara satu sama lain

Dah baca semua perkara di atas? Okay langkah terakhir yang perlu anda lakukan adalah mengingatkan antara satu sama lain. Ini adalah kerana untuk memaklumkan betapa pentingnya persediaan untuk menyambut Ramadhan. Bukan saja fizikal dan mental saja perlu bersedia, namun setiap niat yang terdetik di hati juga perlu dititik beratkan.

Of which, Sunway Berhad contributed RM123 million, a RM33 million excess funds to its RM90 million listed in the original contract.

The additional RM33 million funds were needed to construct the elevated covered walkways, car parking bays and other safety and security features to enhance accessibility and connectivity, according to the statements made by Sunway Group Founder and Chairman, Tan Sri Dr Jeffrey Cheah, at the official launch of the country's first elevated BRT system by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak on 1 June 2015.

2. The elevated BRT Sunway Line has 7 stations. From Sunway-Setia Jaya to USJ7 in Subang Jaya. It is linked to the Setia Jaya KTM Komuter station as well as the LRT system under construction in USJ7. The 7th station, however, will be opened in 2016.

The BRT Sunway Line will serve the seven stations, namely Sunway-Setia Jaya, Mentari, Sunway Lagoon, SunMed, SunU-Monash, South Quay and USJ7, with the availability of a ‘park and ride’ facility, said Prasarana Group chairman Tan Sri Ismail Adam.

3. An eco-friendly transportation system using 15 electric buses on dedicated lanes, the BRT-Sunway line will serve at an interval of every 4 minutes, with a capacity of 67 passengers and an average travelling speed of between 30kph to 40kph. The zero emission buses can operate for 12 hours before the next charging cycle.

Image via Paultan.org

The sole 'park-and-ride' facility at the Sunway University-Monash station comes with some 1,153 parking bays including 102 bays reserved for women, 23 lots for the disabled and 121 bays for motorcycles. Commuters will be charged a flat rate of RM4.

4. According to Ismail, the BRT-Sunway line would serve an estimated 500,000 people in Bandar Sunway and Subang Jaya, who anticipated that the service will transport 2,400 passengers per hour in 2015 with the numbers expected to reach 5,200 in 2035.

Image via Paultan.org

The electric buses are equipped with Wi-Fi for the convenience of commuters, especially with majority of them being students.

5. Last but certainly the most interesting factor, the service will be free to use for the first two months of operations, starting 2 June.

Dr Mahathir Is Now The First Malaysian Politician To Join The Metaverse

As of 26 July 2022, former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was bestowed the honour of becoming the first ever Malaysian leader to officially make a virtual mark in the metaverse

"Here today, we have the opportunity to witness another technological development brought about by Metaverse, which is linking the digital world that exists in parallel with the real world and allows real-time interactions in the VR (Virtual Reality) based environment. Given all these new achievements and exploration by our youths, I am hopeful and encouraged that the future of our nation is in good capable hands," he said. The former Prime Minister continued on with his speech saying that he believes that through these new explorations of tech led through youths, he feels hopeful towards the future of the nation, and believes that it is in capable hands.

[VIDEO] Supportive KL Dad Drives 18-Year-Old Son All The Way To Taiping For His First Date

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

A father from Kuala Lumpur recently went viral after uploading a video of himself driving his son all the way to Taiping for the 18-year-old's first date

On 18 October, TikTok user @RemyDamak, whose real name is Mohd Jasni Mohd Noh, uploaded a video along with a caption that read, "Cinta antara benua" (A Bahasa Melayu phrase that translates to "love between continents").The clip garnered over 65,000 views and 5,092 likes.

The video details Mohd Jasni's long journey to Perak

He brought all his five children along on the trip and showed how they fell asleep in the car.He even had a snack during his long drive.

Once they arrived at a shopping mall in Taiping, Mohd Jasni's son can be seen fixing his hair before getting out of the car.The whole family waited with the young man for his girlfriend's arrival."The wait is torture, I've gone through that before," Mohd Jasni wrote.

When his son's girlfriend finally arrived, they met for a moment before the family left to give the couple some privacy.While the couple continued their date at Starbucks, the rest of the family went off to have lunch at The Chicken Rice Shop.

Mohd Jasni told SAYS that his son had met his girlfriend online during the Movement Control Order (MCO) and the boy initially asked if he could go on a trip with his friends to meet the girl

"At first, he asked for my permission to meet his girlfriend when state borders were opened. He wanted to go with his friends, but I didn't allow it," he explained."First of all, I was worried about his safety, he has never met the girl. Even though my son is male, a lot of things can happen nowadays. And second of all, I'll get to meet his girlfriend face to face. I'll also get to make sure that they won't do anything that would go against the law and religion," he added.

"After I reached out to the girl myself and found out that her family had given her permission to meet me, I agreed to send my son there. I tried to persuade my son. As a teen, if I didn't allow him to meet her, he'd still find a way to secretly do it. It's better if I sent him so I could make sure he does not do anything inappropriate."

Mohd Jasni also said that the family got the chance to stop by Cameron Highlands after his son's date.

19-Year-Old 'Influencer' Accused Of Raping & Harassing Several Women & Minors

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.Editor's note: This story contains details of sexual assault that may be distressing to some readers.

A netizen has dedicated a Facebook account to exposing a 19-year-old man who is said to have coaxed young women into meeting him before sexually assaulting them

On 8 September, Facebook user Yuan Wong — not their real name — published eight screenshots alleging that the man frequently harassed and sexually assaulted young women.He is also accused of asking victims to send him nudes.According to Wong, the man used a simple modus operandi to lure women out. He messaged victims, spoke "shamelessly" to the victims in order to persuade them into meeting him, before driving to their houses to pick them up.It is alleged that he often sexually assaulted the victims in his car. As the man is tall and is said to work out, Wong said most victims did not have the strength to fight back.

Since Wong's first post, more and more victims have come forward to share their experiences.
Speaking to SAYS, they said that some of the victims were below the age of 18.

"[In] 2019 and 2020, some of the victims [were] still below 18 years old," Wong told this SAYS writer.When asked to confirm media reports that there are "more than 100 victims", they said it is true."Some are rape victims, some are message harassment (victims)," Wong said, explaining that the man would harass victims through messages so that they would go out with him.The man is believed to have two Instagram accounts with 1,600 and 1,400 followers. A victim said due to his "popularity", she was afraid to expose him.China Press reported that the man was very active on social media and often flaunted his wealth. He is believed to be engaged in foreign exchange (forex) investments.He also posted many videos of himself singing while playing guitar. After Wong's exposé, his Instagram accounts became private. The man did not pick up his phone when China Press reached out to him.Wong said the motivation behind exposing the man is to prevent their friends from becoming his next victim and to force him to face the consequences of his alleged crimes.

One victim shared with China Press how she was raped by the man when he visited her during the pandemic

The woman said she had been chatting with the 19-year-old for about a week before the man asked her whether they could meet.She refused to meet on the grounds that the COVID-19 situation was very serious and that her mother did not allow her to go out, reported China Press.However, the man pretended to be pitiful, saying he had applied for leave for the day to meet her. He then changed his mind and told her that they would only meet below her apartment to talk."On a certain day last November, at about 5pm, after he arrived at my apartment, I told my family that a friend was looking for me and went downstairs. Because his car blocked the traffic behind him, he told me to get in the car first," she said.The victim said after she was tricked into getting into his car, he lied that he urgently needed to use the toilet. She said he didn't listen to her directions and deliberately took a detour on the pretext that he wanted to take her home.They finally arrived at a remote location where she was raped.During the sexual assault, she said she resisted and begged him to stop several times. She was unable to fight him off because of his strength."After the assault, he kept comforting me and said that he would be responsible for (what he did to) me. At that time, I was so scared that I was in a state of shock. I also forgot how he sent me home. I only knew that it was dark when I got home."Following that, she messaged him to ask him some questions. He allegedly blocked her immediately after responding with a few unsubstantial messages. He also deleted the chat history between the both of them.

Another victim said the man had forgotten that he had raped her in the past when he matched with her again on an online dating platform last month

"When he came to me for the second time, I tried to talk to him, asking him to admit that he had raped me," said the victim."At that time, he acquiesced (that he had raped me) in the chatroom and said that he would be responsible for (what he did to) me, and then he blocked me again."

On Facebook, Wong shared another case where a victim was molested in his car."He suddenly stopped in the alley and touched me. I resisted, (but) he was using a lot of force. I opened the door and called (for help), and someone who saw told me to get out of the car," she shared.The victim added that after the incident, the man messaged her on WeChat and demanded that she give him some money for petrol as he had travelled from Kuala Lumpur to Klang to meet her."He said he didn't get to (do anything) with her, so he wanted money for petrol. He was famous on the Internet, so I didn't dare to expose him. After the incident, I didn't dare to meet anyone from the Internet anymore as it was a traumatic experience for me," she said.

Separately, Wong also shared four screenshots showing a victim recounting her experience. At the time, the victim said she was a minor.

The victim said she met the man in a shopping mall when her family was not with her. He approached her to add her on WeChat.As they began chatting, she learnt that he had been cheated on and tried to portray himself as "very pitiful". He then told her that he wanted to go to a shopping mall with her to do things that couples normally do."But I knew he wanted to have sex so I emphasised that I was menstruating. I was very stupid. I took KTM to meet him," she said."Because he was the one who booked the Grab ride for me, so the location was fixed by him. I was confused when I arrived at a hotel.""In the end, he pulled me into the hotel. Even though I felt something was amiss, I still stupidly followed him."In the room, she said he tried to kiss her and learnt that she had lied about her menstruation. She kept pushing him away before he eventually stopped because he had lost the "mood".In retrospect, she said she regretted meeting him even though she was not raped, before adding that she could not imagine the psychological trauma other victims who were raped had to go through.

Wong also shared a bizarre account where the man is said to have visited a woman who was hospitalised for acute gastroenteritis.The woman only chatted with him online and never met him, but she said he had the audacity to visit her in the hospital, causing her distress.

In an update on Saturday, 11 September, Wong posted a photo and urged victims to lodge police reports against the man

Wong told SAYS that the photo was posted by an alleged victim. It is learnt that the police are aware of the case.According to the photo, the person urged victims to reach out to them so that they could band together and file police reports against the 19-year-old."If you don't report, you have to watch the b*tch get away with it. She (a female officer) said that wherever (the incident) happened, go to the police station there and report it," the caption read.

Wong, in other posts, said they want the man to be punished.

Kedengaran pelik tapi ia adalah benar. Lelaki yang dikenali sebagai Faheem ini menjelaskan panjang lebar beberapa manfaat yang orang ramai boleh temui di dalam aplikasi tersebut.

Thread tentang aplikasi Tik Tok yang bukan sekadar tempat users mendapatkan hiburan seperti menari, bermain game jari, menyanyi dengan suara latar yang lucu; Tik Tok lebih dari itu: pendidikan, bisnes, travel, tips kehidupan, nasihat kewangan dan niaga dan banyak lagi manfaat.— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Aku mula aktif main Tik Tok (TT) tahun 2019, sbg seorang pengguna TT yg menetap di China, aku terikut dengan trend pengguna internet lain yg beralih dari Wechat ke TT dan mendapatkan hiburan di sana. Mulanya, banyak accounts yg aku follow adalah hot selling products di online.— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Semakin lama aku main TT semakin banyak suggestions dari ia berikan aku content videos yg lebih kepada education instead of entertainment. Ini antara content yg membuka minda aku tentang travel, menceritakan journey beliau travel ke hujung dunia Antartika yg makan kos 5 angka USD pic.twitter.com/R1WZzLwaki— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Content dari user ni memang menarik awesome! Dia katakan bahawa perkara paling bermakna dia belajar sepanjang travel dia ke 7 benua adalah cerita-cerita menarik yg disampaikan oleh masyarakat tempatan, kehidupan yg struggle, kesabaran, passion, memori, hubungan antara manusia.— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Dia katakan bahawa pergi mana-mana sama je, gunung laut tasik rumah, tapi travel buat dia matang dalam menerima kepelbagaian kehidupan manusia, itu yg mendorong dia terus menjelajah dunia, dia nak dengar cerita-cerita menarik orang lain dalam kehidupan.— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Video ni ajar kita macam mana nak berkomunikasi. Bagi konklusi, kemudian sebab, kemudian konklusi, then buat tindakan, then bagi cadangan; video pendek macam ni banyak dekat TT, memajukan orang lain dalam urusan harian dan improve our life. pic.twitter.com/kY7tZXD5p6— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Scooter yg boleh bergerak sendiri pakai phone? Why not? Tendang pun tak tumbang. Banyak videos macam ni dekat Tik Tok, memperkenalkan kepada dunia tentang teknologi baru, bayangkan kita sebagai peniaga terdedah dengan contents macam ni setiap hari, boleh dapat banyak idea! pic.twitter.com/PgSxDZz8O1— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Content kesihatan dan be fit? Of course ada! Untuk lelaki untuk wanita warga tua, semua contents yang related with health pun banyak dijumpai di Tik Tok. Kedudukan mata harus selari dengan tinggi laptop, dekatkan jarak tempat duduk dengan meja supaya elak membongkok. pic.twitter.com/AKAcIW7zsu— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Ajar English sambil beri motivasi? No problem! Contents macam ni bersepah dekat Tik Tok China sebab diorang tahu ramai orang sana nak belajar bahasa asing, jadi diorang permudahkan dekat Tik Tok, apatah lagi bagi anak muda, memang suka tengok video pendek. pic.twitter.com/AuvuvljxtP— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Nak belajar macam mana tengok jenama besar punya kekurangan dalam menghasilkan bags? LV ada masalah dengan minyak tepi, mudah terhakis, simpan resit pembelian, kalau nasib baik, boleh tukar bag baru. Chanel punya tangkai besi tu mudah jadi hitam. pic.twitter.com/XLabDjddjX— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Tips, ilmu, education, semua bentuk contents ada dekat Tik Tok, kau cuma perlu follow accounts yang menghasilkan content seperti itu dan TT akan bagi feeds yg similar, dan kau akan dapat banyak manfaat darinya. Of course, manfaat main TT yag paling besar ialah  pic.twitter.com/wwMVhX1kOW— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

 adalah antara content yg paling power dihasilkan oleh pengguna Tik Tok dalam menjual sesuatu produk. Users akan ke kilang tembikai, ke kedai baju, ke showroom kereta, dan akan buat Tik Tok Live dengan smartphones yang banyak untuk urusan jual beli di Tik Tok.— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Of course jangan risau, account Tik Tok tu sendiri akan lalu dekat suggested timeline kita, memberikan reminder untuk berhenti berehat seketika main phone. Isn't that great? pic.twitter.com/MRUqQKH9CR— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Dia juga sempat meninggalkan pesan kepada mereka yang terlalu bergantung terhadap aplikasi atas talian agar menggunakan kemudahan ini dengan sebaik-baiknya

Dalam banyak-banyak aplikasi phone di China, so far Tik Tok banyak consumed masa aku, tapi aku akan buat yang terbaik untuk belajar dan serap ilmu dari situ, untuk bisnes dan kehidupan, untuk bagi manfaat kepada pembaca lain.— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Banyak contents menarik yg aku tak sempat kongsi di sini. Cumanya, aku tak pasti kalau kau install Tik Tok di Malaysia, adakah kau akan dapat feeds & contents yg sama seperti yg aku dapat. Sebab pernah ada org Malaysia cari akaun Tik Tok China tapi tak jumpa.— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Jadi sampai di sini sajalah thread kali ni, aku memang dapat banyak manfaat belajar dari Tik Tok, harap korang dapat alami perkara yg sama, sebab contents ni semua dapat perbaiki dan improve kehidupan harian kita, pergunakanlah sosial media dengan baik. Thread tamat.— MAG • Faheem (@magmalaya) February 3, 2020

Tak sangka rupa-rupanya TikTok ini mempunyai banyak content lain yang sangat memberi manfaat. Mungkin sesiapa yang nak tambah ilmu, boleh take note ya!
