Video yang dirakam oleh pengulas sukan, Akbar Saharie itu telah dimuat naik pada 10 April 2018 ketika beliau sedang menjalankan tugas di Queenland, Australia.Menurutnya, pada ketika itu beliau sedang bersiar-siar di sebuah pekan kecil yang diberi nama Broadbeach. Tanpa disangka, laungan azan tiba-tiba berkumandang di tengah-tengah pekan kecil tersebut.

Pada mulanya, beliau berasa cukup kagum kerana berpeluang mendengar laungan azan di pekan kecil tersebut. Namun, persepsinya terus berubah selepas itu.

Dalam video berkenaan, Akbar merakam suasana yang menunjukkan 5 penari separuh bogel sedang bersedia untuk melakukan persembahan di atas pentas.Alangkah terkejutnya beliau apabila melihat penari-penari berkenaan terus memulakan persembahan sebaik "intro" laungan azan tamat.Lebih aneh, azan yang dilaungkan itu hanyalah sekerat. Lihat video di bawah:

  A post shared by Akbar (@akbarsaharie) on Apr 10, 2018 at 12:03am PDT

Terkesan dengan apa yang berlaku, Akbar meluahkan kemarahannya di ruangan caption yang berbunyi seperti berikut:BIADAP! Sungguh biadap!! .Azan digunakan sbg muzik intro persembahan separuh bogel!! .Pada awalnya saya kagum apabila pertama kali dgr laungan azan di speaker di tgh pentas di tengah2 pekan kecil di Broadbeach. Tapi pelik kerana waktu masih awal dan belum masuk waktu Zohor. Rupanya ia jadi muzik / intro pembuka persembahan tarian 5 lelaki separuh bogel di atas pentas. Saya sangat marah dan kesal dgn rasa tidak hormat kerajaan tempatan membiarkan artis mereka ini menghina agama Islam.Laknatlah engkau wahai kaum kafir!!!

I was on my way to work to the IBC when I heard the Muslim call to prayers a.k.a. azan. I thought it was a genuine call but was shocked and disgusted to find that it was used as intro 'music' to a bunch of half naked amateur performers. Confused on how this was approved or overlooked, especially when it was on one of the Festival 2018 stage in conjuction with the on going Commonwealth Games. The games as propagated have always been about unity and this was definitely insulting. The Azan is not a prop song for your own self-obsessed entertainment. It plays a significant part in more than 1.5 billion people's lives around the world.

Rata-rata netizen juga tidak senang dengan kejadian tersebut. Masing-masing meluahkan rasa marah di ruangan komen.

If Your Electricity Bill From TNB Is Extremely High, You Need To Read This

It's almost impossible to live without electricity at this time and age. However, using electricity comes at a cost and this cost can be rather burdensome sometimes.

Image via TNB

There are plenty of tips online about good practices that can help you save energy, which means that you could use energy more efficiently and save extra money instead of paying hefty electricity bills.

However, if you find that your bills have been extremely high even after following those tips, you may want to check if you've been subjected to Tenaga Nasional Berhad's (TNB) Power Factor Surcharge (Surcaj Angkadar Kuasa)

Photo for illustration purposes only.

What is power factor?The index is used to measure (from 0 to 1) the level of electricity consumption efficiently. A low index would mean that there is an inefficient use of electricity and it represents a waste of electricity, and vice versa.Why penalise users with low power factor?  It is said that utility companies all around the world charge customers an additional surcharge when their power factor is low. TNB imposes a penalty because low power factor shortens the lifespan of electrical appliances and causes power system losses to TNB. Who will be affected?Customers from the commercial, industrial, mining and agriculture category that use three (3) phase low-voltage system should take note of this surcharge. TNB said that this surcharge does not involve customers in the domestic category.  How can one avoid from getting this surcharge? TNB states that a Power factor surcharge is imposed when your power factor is less than 0.90 (electricity supply 132kV and above) or less than 0.85 (electricity supply below 132 kV). How much is this surcharge?Power factor surcharge for customers with electricity supply below 132 kV is calculated as follows: 1.5% surcharge of the current bill – for every 0.01 less than 0.85 power factor. 3% surcharge of the current bill – for every 0.01 less than 0.75 power factor.

Image via Facebook

For example, according to the image above: POWER FACTOR VALUE = 0.35  SURCHARGE =[ ((0.85 – 0.75) / 0.01) X 1.5% X RM873.05 ] + [ ((0.75 – POWER FACTOR VALUE 0.35) / 0.01) X 3% X RM873.05 ] = RM1,178.62

I don't want to be penalised with this power factor surcharge! What do I need to do?

The best way to avoid getting penalised is to improve your power factor. 1. Install equipment that can improve power factor, such as a Capacitor Bank.  2. Avoid operating motor-based electrical appliances without load or below the load recommended by manufacturers.  3. Use motor-based electrical appliances with a high power factor.   4. Use motor-based electrical appliances that are SIRIM-certified and have energy efficient labels. 5. Minimise operations of idling or lightly loaded motors.6. Avoid operating equipment above its rated voltage. 7. Replace standard motors as they burn out with energy efficient motors.

It's also good to note that low power factor is resulted when there is high reactive power (KVAR) and is caused by inductive loads, which are sources of reactive power. Examples of inductive loads are transformers, induction motors, and High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting.

On top of saving money, here are some other benefits of improving the power factor:

			1. Increases the efficiency of system and devices2. Extends the lifespan of electrical appliances3. Reduces electricity wastage for electrical installations at your premises4. Conserves the environment by lowering fuel usage and helps the country reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissionsFor more information on power factor surcharge, you can visit TNB's official website, call 1-300-88-5454 or send an email to [email protected].

Flu Prevention Can Help Save Lives. Here's Why It Should Be Part Of Your New Normal

If there's one thing the COVID-19 situation has taught us, it's that prevention is better than cure

Preventive measures such as physical distancing, washing our hands, and wearing face masks are now part of our everyday routines, and will be the new normal for the foreseeable future.It's so important to stay healthy in these times. Above all, our top priority right now should be our health, as well as the health of our loved ones.

While it's important to continue to curb the spread of COVID-19, we also shouldn't forget about the seriousness of influenza

Image via BERNAMA / New Straits Times

It's vital to remember that influenza and COVID-19 are not the same thing.However, safeguarding ourselves, our family, and the Malaysian community as a whole against vaccine-preventable diseases like influenza, otherwise known as flu, is essential.And it all starts with taking flu prevention seriously, which includes getting the flu vaccine.Influenza may be common, but that doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous. For people in high-risk groups, flu can even have life-threatening complications. This includes children below the age of five, the elderly aged above 65, and the elderly with pre-existing conditions (i.e. heart disease/failure, respiratory disease, diabetes, etc.)

Did you know that the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people each year?
That's why it's so important to get the flu vaccine.

It is scary to think that, in Malaysia, we can catch the flu at any time throughout the year.It's also really easy to catch influenza. Anyone can become infected by breathing in tiny airborne droplets containing the flu virus, or by touching the live virus (which can remain infectious for several hours on surfaces) and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.Influenza can also affect you suddenly. You may feel completely fine one day, and start feeling sick the next. You may only start showing symptoms a few days after you're exposed to the virus. It's even possible for you to infect someone else with the virus before you yourself get sick.

First, it’s important to understand the difference between a cold and flu

Image via Columbia Asia

We tend to say things like "I have the flu" when we get sick, but what we actually have is probably just the common cold, not flu. It's easy to mix up the two, as their symptoms are pretty similar.However, there is a slight difference. If you have milder symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose, that's probably a cold. Flu is usually accompanied by other symptoms such as high fever, sore throat, muscle aches, and long-lasting headaches.Plus, the main difference between them is that flu has more serious consequences. As flu is caused by a virus that attacks the respiratory system (nose, throat, and lungs), it can lead to serious complications like pneumonia and even death in high-risk groups.

You may have realised that the symptoms of flu also sound similar to COVID-19 symptoms, but it's important to note that these are two completely different diseases

That's why the anti-COVID-19 measures being implemented everywhere right now may not necessarily prevent you from catching flu, nor will getting the flu vaccine keep you safe from COVID-19.But what the flu vaccination can do, is help protect you from influenza, which is why you should make it part of your new normal.

So, what is the flu vaccine?

Image via Erabaru

The vaccine contains an inactivated or attenuated (weakened) flu virus. This small dose will stimulate your immune system to produce antibodies against the real thing.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), getting the vaccine can prevent millions of influenza illnesses, tens of thousands of hospitalisations, and thousands of deaths.As the flu vaccine is updated yearly to account for virus mutations, it's important that you get it annually, as this is the best way to help protect against flu. While the vaccine isn't 100% effective (its effectiveness can vary), it does greatly reduce the risk of getting influenza, by between 40% - 60%.Getting vaccinated can also reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to someone else. So, if your whole family gets vaccinated, you will all be less likely to develop this life-threatening disease.

It’s not uncommon to hear of someone who claims to have gotten flu because of the flu shot. However, this is not the case.

Image via University of Florida Student Health Care Center

Getting the flu vaccine will not cause you to get influenza. You may experience some side effects, but these are generally mild and will go away on their own within a few days.Here are the actual side effects to getting the flu vaccine:1. Irritation, redness, or swelling at the injection site2. Mild headache, fever, nausea3. Muscle achesThese symptoms tend to disappear after a few days, and only affect a small percentage of people. In very rare cases, people may have allergic reactions to the flu vaccine, but rest assured that doctors are well equipped to handle such cases.The doctor administering the vaccine will normally ask you to wait in the clinic for half an hour before letting you go, in case severe, immediate reactions occur.

To encourage Malaysians to protect themselves and their families from flu, Immunise4Life has launched the 'Making Flu Prevention My New Normal’ National Pledge Campaign

×

By taking the pledge, you're making a promise to make flu prevention, which involves getting the flu vaccine, part of your new normal.Besides the pledge, there are also lots of handy resources on the website, so that you can learn more about influenza and why prevention is so important. You can even look for your nearest vaccination clinic and send a caring e-card to your loved ones.Together, we can keep Malaysia healthy and safe. Take the pledge now.

There's Been More Than 200 Fire Cases At Malaysian Tahfiz Schools In The Past 2 Years

Malaysia saw what is said to be one of the worst fire incidents in the country in the last 20 years on 14 September

Image via Free Malaysia Today

A deadly fire at Tahfiz Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah in Kampung Datuk Keramat, Kuala Lumpur, claimed the lives of 23 people, including two of the school's wardens and 21 students between the ages of 6 and 16.  The authorities said that this incident is one of the fire-related incidents in the country with the highest death tolls.  According to media reports, initial investigations revealed that the victims tried to escape when the fire broke out, but were trapped by grilles on the windows. News Straits Times reported that there was only one door to enter and exit the building, and there was no fire exit. Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Tan Sri Noh Omar also revealed that the school building was built without the Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC). However, it was noted that the building management did apply for a fire safety permit.

In the wake of this tragic incident, there is a greater concern about fire safety measures at tahfiz schools.
This comes as there have reportedly been 211 fires at the religious institutions nationwide from 2015 to 2017.

This was revealed by the Fire and Rescue Department records, as reported by The Star Online in August. The statistics seem to suggest that there is one fire case involving a tahfiz school every three to four days.  In the report, the English daily also cited Noh Omar, who said that the number of fires at tahfiz and religious schools have been increasing yearly.

The Fire and Rescue Department had noted the fire risks at tahfiz schools, prior to the most recent one at Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah tahfiz school

Its director-general Datuk Wan Mohd Nor Ibrahim admitted that it was difficult to monitor if fire safety measures are in place in these unregistered and private establishments that are "mushrooming" in the country due to limited resources, The Star reported last month.  He explained that it was difficult for the department's enforcement unit and the local governments to keep tabs because these tahfiz schools could be operating from even a wooden house or a single unit built in the middle of nowhere.  "For the past three years, we have embarked on programmes to educate imam, congregations and local committee leaders nationwide on this matter, with little success," Wan Mohd Nor said, adding that they are still putting in efforts to engage with the schools to educate them and to ensure that proper fire safety measures are being implemented.

It is said that some tahfiz school authorities view such concerns regarding safety measures as an "interference"

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told reporters yesterday that the government is deeply concerned with the level of security involving children studying at all schools - be it public or private. It is learned that tahfiz schools were offered training exercises and they were urged to form fire and rescue volunteering units in May, but some of them resisted and expressed their worries that the government may be meddling in their affairs. "We would like to prioritise the children's safety but these schools view our monitoring as an interference in their administration," Ahmad Zahid was quoted as saying in a report by The Sun Daily."There are operators of tahfiz centres who are adamant and refused to register (with the Islamic religious councils). The operators fear that the council will interfere with the education system and syllabus taught at their respective centres," he added.

Meanwhile, Bernama published an article yesterday, 14 September, which details some of the major fire incidents involving tahfiz schools since 2007

The list of fire incidents that was published by Bernama is available here.

"I've Lost My First Colleague" - Loyal Pahang Police Dog Passes Away

Tho, a Labrador who has been serving faithfully in the Detective Dog Unit (K9) in Malaysia, recently passed away due to old age

Image via JSJ Kontinjen Pahang (Facebook)

Born in 2008 in China, Tho had trained and served alongside Sergeant Patrick Sandai as a narcotics sniffer dog ever since it was eight months old."We both trained at the Kuala Lumpur Police Training Centre for four months before working as partners due to our compatibility," Patrick told Bernama.

In the past three months, however, Tho's health began to deteriorate, causing it to lose its appetite

On Saturday, 19 September, the 12-year-old dog took its last breath with its master by its side."I've lost my first colleague," Patrick shared with the news portal, disheartened by his partner's death."We participated in many operations at nightclubs, ports, airports, and various other locations regardless of the time."

Image via Bernama/New Straits Times

"During our time together, never once did Tho disappoint me," he added

The duo had worked together in the Criminal Investigation Department (JSJ) of IPK Johor before they were transferred to Pahang in 2018.On top of busting drug smuggling operations, Patrick expressed that Tho was a loving and caring dog, who would often rub itself against his legs to 'play'.Tho's death was shared on Pahang's JSJ Facebook page, and the post has since racked up over 2,600 shares.

Many sent their condolences and thanked the furry Sergeant for its service all these years

Haze Lontar Pendapat Betapa Untungnya Individu Yang Masih 'Single'. Memang Deep!

Hampir semua orang pernah rasa bagaimana peritnya putus cinta dan patah hati bukan?

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Kompas Lifestyle

Apabila bercakap tentang putus cinta, terdapat pelbagai cara yang betul untuk mengatasinya. Contohnya, menangis, menghabiskan masa bersendiri, mendengar muzik, bersembang dengan keluarga, menonton filem, membeli-belah dan sebagainya.Paling penting, jangan pernah berfikiran untuk melakukan perkara yang tidak sepatutnya seperti melukakan diri sendiri, cuba untuk membunuh diri dan lain-lain perkara yang membahayakan.

Baru-baru ini, Hazeman Huzir iaitu seorang pengacara terkenal di sebuah stesen TV telah melontarkan pendapatnya mengenai isu seorang remaja mengelar tangan lepas putus cinta

Hazeman Huzir
Image via Instagram @hazemanhuzir

Sungguh tidak disangka. Masih ada segelintir individu yang sanggup untuk melukakan diri sendiri selepas dirinya disakiti seseorang. Tindakan seperti ini kelihatan semakin berleluasa lebih-lebih lagi apabila gambar tangan yang dikelar itu dimuat naik di media sosial.Hazeman Huzir atau lebih mesra dikenali sebagai Haze telah menyuarakan pendapatnya mengenai isu ini. Betapa tidak berbaloinya jika seseorang melakukan perkara yang menyakitkan ini terhadap diri sendiri.Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Jika patah hati, menangislah sepuas-puasnya...

Hati yang tersakiti selalunya tidak lama, hanyalah sementara. Jadi, sebelum berbuat apa-apa tindakan di luar kawalan diri sendiri, fikir terlebih dahulu apa pula yang akan berlaku di masa hadapan jika parut lama masih ada.

Tak salah pun kalau masih single sampai hari ini. Sebab orang yang single pun boleh merasai bahagia. Malah, lebih lagi.

Family In Shock After Learning The Body They Were About To Cremate Is Not Their Son

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

A family in Negeri Sembilan was about to begin the cremation ceremony of their son when they received a call that shocked them.
The person whose body they were about to cremate was not their son.

The baffling incident took place on Sunday, 5 March, in Taman Desa Permai, Tampin, Negeri Sembilan.The father, identified as 45-year-old Chantren, was informed last Thursday, 3 March, that his son died under custody at the Sungai Buloh Prison the day before on Wednesday, 2 March.The Prisons Department told the family to claim the body from the Sungai Buloh Hospital.However, Chantren said he did not know why his son was in jail in the first place, only that he was arrested on 28 February and was being remanded at the Sungai Buloh Prison, reported New Straits Times.

When the family went to the hospital, they were not allowed to see the body and were told to come back after the post-mortem examination had been completed. The family then went back the next day.

"After signing the necessary documents, we were then allowed to view the body," Chantren said, adding that when he and the rest of his family saw the body, they were puzzled as it did not resemble their son.The family attributed it to surgical marks and stitches on the body's head, which was shaved clean. They decided to claim the body anyway and took the remains home on Saturday night."The whole family was grieving and making preparations. As we were about to cremate the body at the crematorium [at 10am Sunday], we received a phone call from the Prisons Department," he said."They told us that we have the wrong body. The body was instead of his cellmate, who had died of lung failure. They said our son was still alive, and immediately asked us to do a video call," he added.According to Chantren, the Prisons Department then did a video call to show his son."I do not know how to even express my feelings. Our son is still alive, but whose body is at our house now?" Sinar Harian quoted him as saying, adding that the family was stunned by the news.

"This is all very confusing"

While the family is happy to hear the news about their son being alive, the mix-up has resulted in the family having to fork out around RM20,000 to rent a tent and cater food, along with the cremation costs.Now, Chantren has only one question, "How did such a mix-up happen?"Authorities from the Prisons Department have since gone to the family's house and collected the body.Meanwhile, the boy's mother, who only wished to be known as 48-year-old Parameiswary, said that she has lodged a report at the Jinjang police station to seek an explanation over the matter."We don't want just a verbal statement, we want this in writing. We also want to see our son, to confirm that he is still alive. This is not a small matter, it's literally a matter of life and death," the mother said.

7 Things You Learn About Yourself When You Travel To A Place Most Have Never Been

Image via Unsplash/Pixabay (edited)

Traveling to a new place may sound extremely exciting to everyone but at the core of it, it still requires a whole lot of guts to consciously decide to go to an exotic location you've never ever been to before. Despite the most meticulous planning, any seasoned traveler knows that there's bound to be road bumps along the way, and how you survive these trying times will influence your problem-solving skills and how you adapt to difficult situations in your daily life.

Image via Unsplash/Pixabay (edited)

With the rise of Google-fueled travel comes a kind of unspoken obsession with well-researched itineraries and being in the know on everything. But if we're all being completely honest, we'd probably realise that some of the most interesting travel memories come from the unplanned pit-stops and discoveries as a result of being lost. There's a kind of freedom that comes with an open mind and a flexible schedule, so plan your trip, sure but if fate decides to take you on another route, just enjoy the ride =)

Image via GLady/Pixabay (edited)

It's human nature to judge what we're not familiar with and that's exactly why it's a great idea to seek out exotic destinations to explore - seeing how these little-known communities live  will give you a fresh, new perspective on different cultures, and helps you understand them on a deeper level. The next time you're in someplace new, take the time to get to know the locals. Find out what they love, what makes them tick, and what you can learn from them. Bonus points if you brush up on some basic phrases before heading off on your travels ;)

Image via vait_mcright/Pixabay (edited)

The more you travel, the more people you'll meet. Whether it's an inspiring local running the guesthouse you're staying at, or fellow offbeat travelers you meet along the way, everyone has a story to tell - and the impact they leave on you will help you determine the kind of relationships worth keeping in life, and the ones that just aren't worth your time.

Image via Pexels/Pixabay (edited)

Just having the ability to visit a place that most people you know still haven't had a chance to experience is a huge blessing in itself. How many people can say they've gone quad-biking in a desert in Windhoek, for example? Be thankful for the valuable experience and all the wonders it brings you. Returning from a trip is likely to make you view your life at home through a new perspective; your lumpy bed may suddenly seem especially comfy, a simple home-cooked meal has probably never tasted so good. You'll realise it's these little things that you may have been taking for granted that actually brings the most joy in life!

Image via mrruizdeassin/Pixabay (edited)

Ever noticed how you could be off in some random part of the world surviving on no air-con, no Internet and no Starbucks, and yet you've never felt more content? Getting by with very little on your travels will make you realise that material possessions are nice to have but you don't necessarily need them to be happy. On the other hand, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, like seeing J.R.R. Tolkien's childhood haunts around Birmingham, will stay with you forever.

Image via Pexels/Pixabay (edited)

You could be reading about the wonders of traveling and the amazing, wonderful things you stand to gain but nothing beats real-life experiences. So whether you'll be going ice-skating on Swan Lake in Yerevan or watching the world go by in Seychelles, go out there and create your own share-worthy stories!

Need some inspiration for some of the most exotic travels of your life? Here are some exciting new destinations offered by Qatar Airways:

Yerevan, Armenia: This charming capital, nicknamed Pink City for its pink-hued Soviet-style buildings, is a must-visit for architectural buffs. For a dose of history, check out the hill-top Erebuni Fortress, dating back from 782 BC.

Windhoek, Namibia:  Whether you're into wildlife safaris or desert explorations, there's much to discover in this action-packed capital. Adventurous eaters may look forward to trying some zebra steaks and ostrich sandwiches.

Image via Indian Ocean

Seychelles: If you're looking to relax, check out some of Africa's best beaches, with their soft, powdery sand and crystal-clear waters. For an unforgettable experience, head to La Digue to try your hand at the oldest Seychellois tradition: fishing.

Additionally, Qatar Airways' new routes to Birmingham (UK) and Pisa (Italy) are the perfect reasons to explore beyond the more popular cities of London and Rome

Hadi Once Again Peddles Disinformation About Malay Vs Non-Muslim Voter Turnout

PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang is, once again, peddling disinformation about voter turnout for the 15th General Election (GE15)

Speaking at a recent dialogue session held in Kuala Lumpur, the Marang member of parliament (MP) claimed that while his coalition, Perikatan Nasional (PN), succeeded in winning the Malay and Muslim votes, the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition formed the government by winning the non-Muslim vote.PN won 74 seats in total, while PH won 82. Days after GE15, PH together with Barisan Nasional (BN), GPS, GRS, Warisan, and others, under a grand coalition, formed a unity government.However, according to Hadi, this is all because the total voter turnout from the Indian, Chinese, and other races was "worryingly" higher than the total Muslim voter turnout in GE15, reported Utusan Malaysia."Non-Muslim turnout was 98% while Muslim turnout was only 68%. This is worrying," he claimed.This is not the first time that Hadi has peddled disinformation about lower Muslim voter turnout. In December last year, in an open letter to Muslims, he claimed only 60% of Muslims voted in GE15.At the time, Hadi even warned that those who did not vote might have committed a sin "as they had disobeyed God's command as stated by the Prophet Muhammad", reported New Straits Times.

For the record, the total voter turnout for GE15 was 74.04%

The Election Commission's (EC) official data shows that a total of 21,173,638 Malaysians voted in GE15 compared to 14,940,624 voters in GE14. The 41.72% increase is due to the amendments to the law allowing those aged 18 and above to vote, as well as the implementation of automatic voter registration.

Hadi, however, has consistently peddled his theory that the total Malay voter turnout for GE15 was lower than other ethnic/non-Muslim races

Contrary to Hadi's claim, polling data collected by a University of Nottingham Malaysia political analyst shows that Malays made up the highest percentage of voters compared to other races.According to Free Malaysia Today, political analyst Bridget Welsh found that the Malay voter turnout in GE15 was 79%, followed by Indian voters at 78%, Chinese voters at 69%, and other races at 59%.Additionally, while Malay voter turnout was higher than that of other races, not all supported PN, of which PAS is the biggest component member due to the party's 43 parliamentary seats."Of the Malays who did vote, only 54% supported PN," Welsh told Free Malaysia Today.However, Hadi keeps repeating his narrative — that is not supported by data — about "low Malay turnout", and warning about a dangerous time when non-Muslims will dominate the Malays.This, again, is incorrect.According to a Malaysiakini review, ethnic Malays make up the most number of MPs at 50, who are supporting the Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim-led government that consists of 148 MPs in total.The rest include 27 MPs who are East Malaysian Muslim Bumiputera, 16 MPs who are East Malaysian non-Muslim Bumiputera, 42 Chinese MPs, and 12 MPs who are Indians or other races.Additionally, the Bumiputera make up the largest group of MPs in government.

Jangan tersilap, rezeki bukan hanya diukur pada tahap kewangan seseorang. Ramai masyarakat yang kurang peka dengan konsep sebenar rezeki yang Allah beri kepada setiap manusia.Masing-masing hanya nampak wang Ringgit dan kekayaan sahaja, sehingga ada yang sanggup menggadaikan segalanya demi mengaut segala kekayaan dunia. Jika rezeki diukur dengan harta benda, maka individu yang paling kaya itulah yang paling banyak dilimpah rezeki.

Tapi sebenarnya, tanggapan ini salah dan amat jauh menyimpang, dan persepsi ini perlu segera diubah

Setiap manusia di muka bumi ini mempunyai rezeki masing-masing yang telah ditetapkan oleh Allah.Namun begitu, ini bukanlah bermaksud seseorang itu tidak perlu berusaha untuk mendapatkan rezeki yang lebih.Fahami 10 jenis rezeki dari Allah di bawah:

1. Rezeki Yang Telah Dijamin

Image via SAYS

Setiap orang ada bahagian rezeki masing-masing di dunia ini.

2. Rezeki Kerana Usaha atau Kerja

Image via SAYS

Lebih banyak usaha, insyaAllah lebih banyak rezeki seseorang.

3. Rezeki Kerana Bersyukur

Image via SAYS

Bersyukurlah setiap hari dengan segala apa yang kita ada sebelum kita kehilangan semuanya.

4. Rezeki Yang Tidak Disangka-Sangka

Image via SAYS

Pernah dapat rezeki yang tak terduga? Contohnya seperti kawan belanja makan, dapat panggilan kerja yang kita tak harapkan, dan macam-macam lagi. Mesti pernah, kan?

5. Rezeki Kerana Istighfar

Image via SAYS

Ucapan 'Astaghfirullahal'azim' itu sangat powerful untuk kita amalkan.

6. Rezeki Kerana Menikah

Image via SAYS

Jangan takut untuk berkahwin. Allah sudah menetapkan rezeki untuk kamu.

7. Rezeki Kerana Anak

Image via SAYS

Lebih ramai anak, lebih banyak limpahan rezeki.

8. Rezeki Kerana Sedekah

Image via SAYS

Setiap harta yang kita miliki pastinya ada bahagian untuk orang lain yang lebih memerlukan.

9. Rezeki Kerana Keberkatan Pagi

Image via SAYS

Bangun pagi, solat Subuh, dan bergegaslah menunaikan ibadah kerja demi mencari rezeki.

10. Rezeki Kerana Menjalinkan Silaturrahim

Image via SAYS

Silaturrahim sesama manusia hendaklah dijaga sebaik-baiknya.

Cyberbullying Among The Malaysian Youth A Prevalent Issue

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

Malaysia ranks second in Asia for cyberbullying among youth, with three out of every 10 young Malaysians being victims of cyberbullying

Due to these alarming statistics, Persuasive Communication final year students of the School of Communication at Universiti Sains Malaysia organised TalkSpace — a webinar to discuss cyberbullying — as a means to educate Malaysian youth on this important issue.It was carried out as an active discussion to raise awareness among social media users, particularly youth, about the potential consequences of cyberbullying due to poor social media etiquette. According to Bernama, one of the guest speakers at the event was a Jessie Yong Tse Shing, a part-time lecturer at Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TARUC) and a Master’s holder from the School of Communication, Universiti Sains Malaysia, that focuses her research on cyberbullying among youth. Based on her findings and observations, Jessie shared that such behaviour could be the projection of their own unhappiness due to being deprived of their basic needs."According to Glasser's Choice Theory, these needs are survival, belonging (to love, to be loved, and to be of value), power, freedom, and fun," she explained to Bernama in an interview.She added that those with lower rates of global self-worth, social acceptability, and popularity were also likely to engage in cyberbullying, as studies have shown that cyberbullies were often socially incompetent individuals.Jessie also addressed an issue that is often ignored, which is the importance of providing a safe space for victims of cyberbullying and educating the cyberbullies.

The TalkSpace webinar on 29 December 2021 was held via Cisco Webex and was the first organised by the students, which saw the participation of over 400 people.

As social media platforms continue to grow in popularity, youths are spending more of their time online navigating a complex virtual world

New research suggests that these increased hours spent online may be associated with cyberbullying and toxic behaviours.The students have also launched a campaign called NETHICS, aimed at promoting proper social media etiquette and curbing cyber harassment.Project director Larissa Lorelle Christian said the campaign would give youths the opportunity to address issues of cyberbullying and aspires to become a revolution to rectify Malaysian youths' declining online morals.

What counts as cyberbullying?

Cyberbullying is any type of harassing, threatening, demeaning language. It can include sharing personal or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation. Typically, this is done through mean comments, online rumours, and even sexual remarks. They're usually connected with appearance, intelligence, race, or sexuality. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behaviour.Essentially, anything that is posted online that’s intended to hurt or upset someone else, regardless of what the topic is, is considered to be cyberbullying.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

Malaysia is Not Listed in Top 10 Countries With the Most Internet Freedom

This chart shows the 10 countries with the highest degrees of Internet freedom, as measured by the Freedom House Index.

Image via mshcdn.com

Iceland has the fewest barriers to Internet freedom, according a recent study ranking countries based on obstacles to access, limits on content and violations of user rights. Iceland scored just six out of a possible 40 points.

        mashable.com

Internet users in Estonia, which trails Iceland by just three points, also enjoys a high degree of freedom. The United States tied with Germany for third place on the rankings, each with a total of 17 points each. Argentina and Kenya have the most barriers to Internet freedom, with 27 and 28 points, respectively.

        cnn.com

While Malaysia doesn't feature in the top 10, the Malaysian youths are fourth most active Internet users in the world.

Malaysia stood out as having the fourth-highest proportion of “digital natives” in the world, despite ranking much lower globally in ICT development, said a report commissioned by the United Nations’ ITU.

        themalaymailonline.com

But among its fellow developing nations across the globe, the Measuring the Information Society 2013 report, which is touted as the first ever comprehensive study on global internet usage, ranked Malaysia as having the highest percentage of “digital natives”.

        abc.net.au

“Digital natives” are defined in the report as youths aged 15 to 24 with at least five years of active internet use.

        themalaymailonline.com

The study, jointly conducted with the Georgia Institute of Technology, counted 13.4 per cent or more than 3.9 million Malaysians as “digital natives”, accounting for nearly three quarters of the country’s youths.

        rferl.org

This chart says it all. Based on a series of criteria including obstacles to internet access, limits on content, and violations of user rights, Internet freedom in Malaysia is "partly free"

As you can see, Asia runs the whole gamut of internet freedom. On one end is Japan, one of the most developed countries in Asia, and on the other is China, the world’s most populous country.

        techinasia.com

Image via techinasia.com

It’s clear from the chart that the state of each country’s economy doesn’t have a clear impact on internet freedom, nor does the practice of democracy.

        theatlantic.com

Indonesia and Malaysia, which are both arguably in the similar emerging Asia category as Vietnam, are on the higher end of the freedom spectrum. However, Thailand, which is also a democracy, sits along with its one-party neighbors.

Pendaki Tertua Malaysia Ini Berjaya Menjejakkan Kaki Ke ‘Everest Base Camp’ Pada Usia 69

James Lee Chong Meng merupakan warga Malaysia tertua yang cuba menawan puncak Gunung Everest, telah berjaya tiba di Everest Base Camp petang semalam

Image via Bernama

Pendaki gunung tertua di Malaysia, yang dikenali dengan nama James Lee Chong Meng, 69 tahun telah berjaya sampai ke Everest Base Camp (EBC) semalam, walaupun buku lalinya terseliuh. Beliau telah berjaya menjejakkan kakinya di kem itu bersama dengan anggota pasukannya kira-kira 3 petang semalam.Lee bersama lima anggota yang lain, Sherine Leong, 40, Desmond Tee, 56, dan tiga wakil dari Bernama, wartawan Muhammad Afiq Mohd Asri, 25, jurugambar Zulfadhli Zulkarnain, 23, dan Bernama TV jurukamera Fazril Amirul, 23 telah berjaya tiba seperti yang dirancang mengikut jadual.

Ini merupakan cubaan beliau buat kali kedua selepas  membatalkan pendakian peringkat akhir ke kemuncak Gunung Everest tahun lalu

Image via Bernama

James melakukan percubaan buat kali kedua ini bertujuan untuk mencetuskan semangat kepada semua peringkat usia agar menjalani hidup sihat dan aktif. Menurut beliau, umur bukan lah penghalang bagi sesiapa untuk mengejar impian mereka. Sekitar bulan Mei tahun lalu, James telah menyertai Ekspedisi Lions Gunung Everest (MEE) namun beliau terpaksa membatalkan pendakiannya yang terakhir ke kemuncak Gunung Everest kerana keadaan cuaca yang tidak mengizinkan. Walaupun sedikit kecewa, beliau gembira untuk pulang ke rumah dengan selamat ketika itu. James mengambil keputusan untuk menyambung cabaran Lions MEE itu dengan tema 'Selamatkan Alam Sekitar dan Kekal Sihat' bagi menyampaikan mesej ini kepada masyarakat Malaysia  dengan membawa semangat 'Malaysia Boleh'.

Beliau mula meminati aktiviti mendaki ketika berusia 40 tahun

Image via Bernama

James amat meminati mendaki dan beliau telah berjaya beberapa gunung terkenal seperti Gunung Kinabalu, Gunung Rinjani di Indonesia, Gunung Fuji di Jepun dan Gunung Ama Dablam di Nepal.Menurut laporan, dua dari pendaki yang menyertai ekspedisi, Eugene Kwan Jyh Sin, 47, dan Teng Hee Weng, 48, telah mengalami penyakit gunung (AMS). AMS adalah kesan yang terjadi pada manusia yang berpunca dari tekanan rendah oksigen di kawasan tinggi.“Mereka telah pulih, bagaimanapun, pemeriksaan kesihatan secara berkala tetap dilakukan bagi memastikan tahap kesihatan kami sentiasa cergas". “Saya pula dapat mengatasi tekanan emosi dan fizikal dari ‘udara sejuk’ dengan baik. Atas nasihat doktor dan pakar, saya berjaya mengawal pemakanan saya. Dengan itu saya bersyukur bahawa saya masih lagi berdaya untuk meneruskan perjalanan," jelas James.James dan pasukannya telah sampai ke Kathmandu pada 1 April lepas. Mereka akan menemani James di Everest Base Camp sebelum beliau menyambung perjalanannya ke puncak gunung itu dalam ekspedisi yang dianjurkan oleh Kelab Lions Pantai Port Dickson.

The murder victim was identified as Nur Alya Damia, a student at Port Dickson Vocational College.It was learned that there were signs of strangulation on the victim's neck when she was found in some undergrowth in Taman PD Permata.Berita Harian reported that a man stumbled upon the teenager's body when he wanted to dump garbage in front of his house.Police said that the victim's body was taken to Port Dickson Hospital for post-mortem.

Here's what we know so far about the case:

1. Nur Alya Damia was believed to have been murdered in her former boyfriend's car

"Initial investigations revealed that the victim was killed in the suspect's Proton Wira before the body was left at the scene. Examination also found strangulation marks on the victim's neck," Port Dickson District Police deputy chief DSP Mohd Faisal Mohd Noor said, as reported by Utusan Malaysia.

2. New Straits Times (NST) cited an unnamed source who claimed that the victim and the suspect just separated a few weeks ago and was said to have met on the night of the incident to talk about their relationship

It was alleged that Nur Alya Damia argued with the suspect about the latter's vaping habit and things escalated from there. "After they started arguing in the car, the victim allegedly threatened the suspect that she will tell his parents about their relationship, as well as his vaping habit, which the parents did not know about.""The suspect then became angry and lost control and began strangling the victim. He then realised that the victim was bleeding from her nose and had become unconscious," the source was quoted as saying. In a separate report by Utusan Malaysia, the daily cited a police source who said that the suspect was believed to have thought that the victim only passed out. It was said that the suspect wiped off the victim's bleeding nose using a small towel before he pushed the victim out of the car at the roadside bush in the housing area.

3. The police have detained the 19-year-old suspect

According to Mohd Faisal, the victim's former boyfriend was detained at 10.45pm on 25 May. He was picked up at his rented house in Taman PD Idaman, Lukut which is about one kilometre away from the location where the victim's body was found."The police took only 15 minutes to track down the suspect (after the victim was found)," Mohd Faisal was quoted as saying by Bernama.The police have obtained a seven-day remand order against the suspect from the Port Dickson Magistrate's Court. The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.

Speaking to Bernama on Friday, 25 May, Mohd Hairi revealed that his daughter returned to their home in Klang, Selangor, last week and he also spoke to her over the phone just a day before the incident. "I also spoke to her over the phone and she asked me to help look for a suitable company around Shah Alam and Klang for her to undergo her industrial training," he said.When he was met by reporters the next day on 26 May, Mohd Hairi said would like to confront the murder suspect to ask why he had killed his daughter."I have never raised my hand or beat Kak Long. Therefore, I want to meet the suspect to ask why he did this and my heart will never be at peace until I hear it from his own mouth."I also do not want to believe the news or information on the Internet as the facts cannot be verified,” he was quoted as saying by Berita Harian.

In other news, a man was recently arrested for allegedly forcing a 10-year-old school girl to give oral sex to him:

Why Would Google Buy Waze For Over $1 Billion?

12 June: Google buys Waze

Google Inc bought Israeli mapping startup Waze on Tuesday for just over $1 billion, a source familiar with the matter said, acquiring an online real-time mapping service to safeguard its lead in one of the most crucial aspects of smartphone usage.

        yahoo.com

"Why would Google buy Waze? 1st, Waze’s collaborative, user-based approach to mapping represents a real breakthrough for mobile-navigation apps. 2nd, the company poses a threat to Google’s own Maps product. 3rd, Google is able to keep it out of the clutches of archrivals Apple & FB."

        time.com

"1.03 Billion may seem like a premium for a company with just 28 million users, but the deal is largely a defensive play as Google moves to preserve its dominance in mobile mapping."

        theverge.com

Google sets sights on transit and navigation company Waze

According to the Globes, an Israel-based publication, Google is reportedly set to acquire the Israeli transit and navigation company Waze for $1.3 billion, making it one of the larger Google acquisitions in recent memory.

        techcrunch.com

A deal for the free social-powered navigation app for iPhone has been in the works for a few months, with the bidding for Waze reportedly involving Facebook and Google.

        mashable.com

Will Waze be better, worse or the same if Google does acquire it?

According to the report, the conditions of the deal will keep Waze CEO Noam Bardin at the helm of the company, and Waze will retain its brand and won't be integrated into Google.

        reuters.com

The deal hasn't been finalized yet, but Google agreed not to lay off Waze workers at its development center in Israel, and will allow the company to continue its development in Israel "for at least three years."

        mashable.com

Here's what tech experts say:

"By buying Waze, Google keeps competitors like Apple and others away from the easy out, which would be an acquisition of a company with already-working and reliable technology. With this deal, Google effectively blocks Apple and Facebook from even having a chance."

        techcrunch.com

"However, it’s likely not going to be as easy as writing a check. There are not many global sources of mapping data: just Waze, Google, Navteq, TomTom and OpenStreetMap. Thus, this would be a deal that attracts serious regulatory scrutiny."

        allthingsd.com

"Google has been among the most acquisitive Web companies, and its track record has been stellar compared with that of its peers, according to many mergers-and-acquisitions professionals."

        wsj.com

Isn't Apple interested in buying Waze?

"There were rumours that Apple was interested in Waze, which made perfect sense at the time considering Apple was building and releasing a buggy, inadequate Maps app but those rumours died down."

        techcrunch.com

What is Waze?

Waze was founded in Israel and has around 100 employees, including a large research-and-development team in that country. Its chief executive and other top executives are based in Palo Alto, Calif., and the company also has some employees in New York.

        wsj.com

      Unsupported video platform

The company was founded in 2007, and has since raised a total of $67 million from investors like KPCB, Horizon Ventures, Blue Run Ventures, Magma Venture Partners, and Vertex Venture Capital.

        techcrunch.com

Waze, a free app available on Apple devices and those powered by Google's Android mobile operating system, promises to help the roughly 45 million drivers who use it to "outsmart traffic and get everyone the best route to work and back, every day."
