Musim pilihan raya kini tiba lagi!
Bagi kebanyakan pengundi kali pertama, anda mungkin mempunyai banyak soalan tentang proses pilihan raya bukan?

Menurut tinjauan Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS), 35% rakyat Malaysia tidak mengetahui perbezaan antara ahli dewan undangan negeri (ADUN) dan ahli parlimen (MP), lapor Free Malaysia Today pada Oktober tahun lepas.Oleh itu, dalam artikel ini, kita akan meneliti apakah sebenarnya perbezaan antara 'Dewan Undangan Negeri' (DUN) dan 'Parlimen' ini.Kami juga akan menerangkan sama ada terdapat dua jenis pilihan raya ini atau tidak.

1. Apakah sistem pemerintahan di Malaysia?

Sebelum kita bermula, adalah penting untuk memahami bagaimana sistem pemerintahan negara kita ini berfungsi.Malaysia adalah sebuah negara demokrasi berparlimen dengan mengamalkan sistem raja berperlembagaan persekutuan. Selain itu, negara juga mengamalkan sistem persekutuan. Mengetahui fungsi sistem yang berbeza ini berfungsi adalah asas untuk memahami sebab dan cara kita mengundi, serta cara negara ditadbir.Berikut adalah pecahan fungsi setiap sistem:

i. Raja Berperlembagaan

Malaysia mempunyai Raja Tertinggi yang dirujuk sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA). Beliau adalah Ketua Tertinggi Persekutuan serta pemimpin agama Islam di Malaysia.Yang di-Pertuan Agong juga merupakan panglima tertinggi angkatan tentera. Baginda menjalankan tugas di bawah Perlembagaan di bawah nasihat Perdana Menteri dan Jemaah Menteri.Negara ini mempunyai sembilan raja keturunan (Sultan), yang bergilir-gilir menjadi Yang di-Pertuan Agong setiap lima tahun.

ii. Demokrasi berparlimen

Dewan Rakyat

Demokrasi berparlimen Malaysia ialah pengasingan kuasa kepada tiga bahagian iaitu Badan Perundangan (Legislatif) Badan Kehakiman (Judisiari) dan Eksekutif.Parlimen ialah badan Legislatif tertinggi negara. Fungsi utamanya adalah untuk meluluskan, meminda, dan memansuhkan akta undang-undang. Ia terdiri daripada Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Dewan Negara, dan Dewan Rakyat.Ahli Dewan Rakyat dipanggil ahli parlimen (MP), yang dipilih oleh rakyat dalam Pilihan Raya Umum (PRU) setiap lima tahun. Ya, salah satu undi yang kita buat semasa PRU ialah memilih ahli parlimen kita.Manakala ahli Dewan Negara pula dipanggil senator. Terdapat 70 daripadanya secara keseluruhan, di mana 26 dipilih oleh dewan undangan negeri dan 44 dipilih oleh Yang di-Pertuan Agong di bawah nasihat Perdana Menteri.Tempoh jawatan adalah tiga tahun untuk maksimum dua penggal. Tempoh jawatan Dewan Negara tidak terjejas dengan pembubaran parlimen.Badan Kehakiman ialah sistem mahkamah, yang bebas daripada pecahan kuasa lain, manakala Eksekutif terdiri daripada Majlis Raja-Raja, Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Perdana Menteri, Jemaah Menteri, dan perkhidmatan awam. Eksekutif mentadbir negara mengikut undang-undang yang dibuat oleh parlimen.Menteri-menteri kabinet dilantik oleh Yang di-Pertuan Agong di bawah nasihat Perdana Menteri. Ahli kabinet mesti dipilih daripada ahli mana-mana dewan parlimen, bermakna mereka mestilah ahli Parlimen atau Senator.

iii. Sistem persekutuan

Malaysia ialah persekutuan 13 negeri dan tiga Wilayah Persekutuan.Setiap negeri mempunyai perlembagaan sendiri dan majlis eksekutif, yang menguruskan hal-hal bukan persekutuan di bawah seorang Menteri Besar (Ketua Menteri), yang bertanggungjawab kepada DUN yang dipilih. Sementara itu, tadbir urus Wilayah Persekutuan terletak di tangan Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan.Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri dipanggil ADUN atau 'Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri' (ADUN). Satu lagi ya, undi kedua yang kita buat semasa PRU ialah memilih ADUN kita.Wilayah Persekutuan tidak mempunyai ADUN.

2. Apakah perbezaan antara ADUN dan ahli parlimen?

Fungsi dewan undangan negeri, dewan tempat ADUN bersidang, adalah untuk membincangkan dan menggubal undang-undang yang berkaitan dengan perkara-perkara seperti tanah dan sumber asli (kecuali minyak dan gas), kemudahan awam, kebajikan masyarakat, belia dan sukan, budaya, dan pentadbiran kerajaan negeri dan tempatan (Majlis Daerah anda, Majlis Perbandaran, dan Majlis Bandaraya).Undang-undang yang digubal di peringkat dewan undangan negeri hanya menjejaskan bidang kuasa dalam negeri. Satu contoh utama ialah undang-undang Syariah atau Islam; negeri-negeri biasanya menentukan undang-undang agama.Bagi parlimen, kesan fungsinya memberi impak kepada seluruh negara. Selain meluluskan, meminda dan memansuhkan undang-undang persekutuan, tugas ahli Parlimen, terutamanya mereka yang tidak sehaluan dengan kerajaan persekutuan, juga adalah untuk memudahkan semakan dan imbang keputusan, dasar dan pelaksanaan kerajaan persekutuan.Perkara yang sama boleh dikatakan bagi ADUN, kerana peranan mereka juga adalah untuk memudahkan semak dan imbang keputusan, dasar dan pelaksanaan kerajaan negeri.Kerajaan persekutuan memegang pelbagai portfolio termasuk hal ehwal luar, pertahanan, keselamatan dalam negeri, undang-undang sivil dan jenayah, kewarganegaraan, kewangan, industri, kesihatan dan pendidikan. Kerajaan persekutuan juga boleh membuat undang-undang untuk menggalakkan keseragaman undang-undang dua negeri atau lebih dan ia boleh menggubal mana-mana perkara atas permintaan dewan undangan negeri.Ringkasnya, ADUN ialah seseorang yang mewakili anda untuk membangkitkan kebimbangan tempatan di dewan undangan negeri, manakala Ahli Parlimen ialah seseorang yang mewakili anda untuk membangkitkan kebimbangan di seluruh negara di parlimen. Seorang mewakili anda di peringkat negeri, seorang lagi mewakili anda di peringkat persekutuan.

3. Bilakah anda membuang undi untuk memilih ADUN?

Semasa pilihan raya negeri. Sama seperti parlimen, dewan undangan negeri mempunyai tempoh lima tahun.Kadangkala, kerajaan negeri akan membubarkan dewan undangan negeri mereka bersama-sama dengan parlimen untuk memberi laluan kepada pilihan raya negeri dan nasional diadakan bersama; kadang-kadang tidak.Adalah menjadi tanggungjawab prerogatif Ketua Negeri di bawah nasihat Menteri Besar untuk membubarkan dewan undangan negeri. Dalam kes seperti ini, pilihan raya negeri mesti dipanggil 60 hari selepas DUN dibubarkan.Untuk PRU15 akan datang pada 19 November, Sabah, Melaka, Sarawak, dan Johor tidak akan mengadakan pilihan raya negeri bersama-sama pilihan raya negara kerana negeri-negeri ini telah mengadakan pilihan raya masing-masing dalam tempoh tiga tahun lepas.Negeri yang dikuasai Pakatan Harapan (Pulau Pinang, Selangor, dan Negeri Sembilan) dan negeri pimpinan PAS (Kelantan, Terengganu, dan Kedah) juga tidak akan mengadakan pilihan raya negeri mereka.Hanya pengundi di Perlis, Perak, dan Pahang (negeri yang dikuasai Barisan Nasional) akan menerima dua kertas undi untuk mengundi pada PRU15.

4. Bilakah anda membuang undi untuk memilih ahli Parlimen?

Semasa PRU, juga disebut sebagai pilihan raya nasional atau pilihan raya kebangsaan. Sama seperti dewan undangan negeri, parlimen mempunyai tempoh lima tahun.Adalah menjadi tanggungjawab prerogatif Ketua Tertinggi Persekutuan di bawah nasihat Perdana Menteri untuk membubarkan parlimen. Dalam kes seperti ini, pilihan raya negara mesti diadakan 60 hari selepas parlimen dibubarkan.PRU15 dijadualkan pada 19 November selepas parlimen dibubarkan pada 10 Oktober.

5. Bagaimana untuk membentuk kerajaan negeri?

Di bawah sistem persekutuan, Malaysia kini mempunyai 518 ADUN dengan setiap negeri mempunyai bilangan kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri yang berbeza.Mana-mana parti politik atau gabungan yang memperoleh lebih separuh daripada kerusi DUN akan membentuk kerajaan negeri.Berikut adalah pecahan jumlah kerusi negeri masing-masing dan bilangan kerusi yang diperlukan untuk membentuk kerajaan negeri:– Perlis: 15 (7 ke atas)– Kedah: 36 (19 dan ke atas)– Pulau Pinang: 40 (21 dan ke atas)– Kelantan: 45 (23 tahun ke atas)– Perak: 59 (30 dan ke atas)– Terengganu: 32 (17 dan ke atas)– Pahang: 42 (22 dan ke atas)– Selangor: 56 (29 ke atas)– Negeri Sembilan: 36 (19 ke atas)– Melaka: 28 (15 tahun ke atas)– Johor: 56 (29 tahun ke atas)– Sabah: 73 (37 ke atas)– Sarawak: 82 (42 dan ke atas)Sinar Harian melaporkan hanya 117 kerusi DUN akan dipertandingkan pada PRU15.

6. Bagaimana untuk membentuk kerajaan persekutuan?

Terdapat 222 ahli parlimen secara keseluruhan. Mana-mana parti politik atau gabungan yang memperoleh lebih separuh daripada kerusi parlimen (112 dan ke atas) akan membentuk kerajaan persekutuan.Berikut ialah pecahan jumlah kerusi parlimen di setiap negeri dan wilayah persekutuan:– Perlis: 3– Kedah: 15– Pulau Pinang: 13– Kelantan: 14– Perak: 24– Terengganu: 8– Pahang: 14– Selangor: 22– Kuala Lumpur: 11– Putrajaya: 1– Negeri Sembilan: 8– Melaka: 6– Johor: 26– Sabah: 25– Labuan: 1– Sarawak: 31

7. Siapa yang memilih Perdana Menteri?

Image via Kosmo!

Parti politik atau gabungan yang membentuk kerajaan persekutuan akan secara kolektif memilih calon untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri.Dengan kata lain, rakyat secara teknikalnya tidak memilih Perdana Menteri.Lazimnya, parti politik atau gabungan itu akan memberitahu penyokongnya siapa calon Perdana Menteri sebelum pilihan raya. Melalui itu, pengundi boleh membuat keputusan parti mana yang akan diundi dengan harapan parti itu dan gabungannya boleh menguasai sekurang-kurangnya 112 kerusi untuk membentuk kerajaan persekutuan.Sehingga berita ini ditulis hari ini, 26 Oktober, Barisan Nasional telah mengesahkan Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob adalah calon perdana menteri gabungannya. Manakala, Pakatan Harapan mengumumkan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sebagai calon perdana menteri dan Perikatan Nasional pula menamakan Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin sebagai calon perdana menteri.

Semua parti politik mempunyai masa sehingga 5 November untuk menamakan calon mereka untuk pilihan raya kali ini:

                [RASMI] Tarikh Mengundi PRU15 Ditetapkan Pada Hari Sabtu, 19 November Ini - SPR

Hari penamaan calon pula jatuh pada 5 November dan tarikh untuk pengundi awal ditetapkan pada 15 November.

Khairy: Malaysia & Singapore To Use Blockchain Technology To Record Your Vaccination Certs

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

Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has announced that Malaysia and Singapore will be using blockchain technology to issue vaccine certificates

The minister made the announcement in a Facebook post after meeting Singapore Foreign Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan in Putrajaya on Tuesday, 23 March."Both Malaysia and Singapore are using blockchain technology to issue their vaccine certificate," Khairy wrote."The interoperability between the two systems will be crucial especially when taking into account standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and other countries."A Bernama report added that both countries' vaccination certificates that are secured by blockchain technology will come with a traceability feature that tells the exact batch of the vaccine vial used for inoculation.

Singapore FM @VivianBala and I compared our respective vaccination digital certificates that is secured on blockchain. Both countries have a traceability feature that tells you the exact batch your vaccine vial came from. We will ensure interoperability btwn MAS & SG. pic.twitter.com/JaSG3rf5VD— Khairy Jamaluddin  (@Khairykj) March 23, 2021

If you did not already know, blockchain technology was invented alongside the invention of Bitcoin.While Bitcoin serves as a decentralised currency on the front, the underlying blockchain technology is the one that powers the cryptocurrency and it later overspilled into other innovations.Essentially, blockchain is a public ledger that is able to record any information and it cannot be tempered by anyone — including the owner of the information, the creator of the public ledger, or the government. The information can be also verified by anyone in the world within seconds.Such technology does not only offer transparency, but also impeccable security — two qualities that are crucial in a time when there is rampant public distrust against vaccine information and reliance on digitalisation amidst the pandemic.

Although Khairy did not elaborate on how blockchain would help vaccination traceability, the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI) had in the past explained why such technology is vital

According to another Bernama report published on 2 March, MOSTI Deputy Minister Datuk Ahmad Amzad Hashim said that blockchain can also be used on other vaccines and medications other than COVID-19 vaccines."Blockchain can be used to confirm the veracity of medication, and this will provide proof of the medication from manufacture to use [...]. For example, blockchain can be used to trace vaccines from the factory until the administration level and distribution," Ahmad Amzad said in a statement.

He added that the blockchain can also be used to improve access to patients' medical records, which he lamented that as of now, database from one hospital cannot 'speak' with another hospital

The deputy minister said the problem persists due to different operations and equipment specifications in different hospitals, adding that such a problem causes a low level of efficiency between different hospitals when dealing with the same patient."Blockchains that can be accessed universally will enable data to be accessed by related parties safely and securely. [Access] can be given by patients, using smart contracts," he explained."This not only places control of your health data in the individual's hands, but also reduces the time for accurate treatment."Ahmad Amzad's explanation here echoed Khairy's statement of the 'interoperability' between two systems in Malaysia and Singapore. Meaning, Malaysia can verify a Singaporean's vaccination history without having the need to access their hospital records based in their country, and vice versa.

The MOSTI deputy minister also said that blockchain can help speed up the process of medical insurance claims as patients' medical history is no longer spread across different doctors, clinics, and hospitals.The technology can also help reduce the occurrence of insurance scams due to its non-tamperable nature.MOSTI — together with the assistance from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and MIMOS Berhad — had earlier this month began testing blockchain technology at the proof-of-concept stage.

Report: VIP Convoy That Stopped An Ambulance With Its Siren On In JB Belongs To PM

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

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob's convoy passing through a road in Johor Bahru, Johor was the reason why an ambulance was stopped by two traffic officers on 5 March

According to Malaysiakini, the incident took place on the merging of two roads in Skudai last Saturday.An enforcement source told the news portal that the Prime Minister's convoy was coming from the Taman Tasek direction at the time.Based on the viral dashcam footage, the convoy was seen travelling at high speed from a flyover before merging onto the main road.The ambulance with its siren blaring, along with other vehicles, were stopped by two traffic officers beside the flyover.

Police say they stopped an ambulance in Johor Bahru over safety reasons, even though its sirens were blaring.This follows a viral video of the private ambulance being stopped to make way for Prime Minister Ismail Sabri's convoy.: Twitter/kamikeadilan pic.twitter.com/IyrPV5E35i— BFM News (@NewsBFM) March 8, 2022

The source told Malaysiakini that if the ambulance was not stopped, it would run the risk of a collision with the convoy

They added that once the Prime Minister's convoy had passed, the ambulance was given priority to go through before other vehicles.A statement by North Johor Bahru district police chief Rupiah Abd Wahid revealed that the ambulance was being stopped on Jalan Danga Bay while it was travelling towards the direction of Skudai.She said the officers at the scene had thought about all the safety precautions, adding that the convoy arrived at the merging junction earlier than the ambulance.Rupiah also explained that the ambulance was stopped for "30 seconds only" to avoid the risk of a collision. The statement issued yesterday, 7 March, however, did not mention that the convoy belonged to the Prime Minister.

Ketua SPRM: “Saya Diugut Lepas Jawatan, Diekori Hingga Ke USA & Hampir Mati Kerana 1MDB”

Ketua Pesuruhjaya Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) yang baru dilantik Datuk Seri Mohd Shukri Abdull hiba apabila menceritakan pengalamannya terpaksa melarikan diri ke Amerika Syarikat dari pihak berkuasa Malaysia

Image via Reuters

Insiden ini berlaku pada tahun 2015 selepas bekas ketuanya, Tan Sri Abu Kassim yang merupakan Ketua SPRM ketika itu memutuskan untuk mendakwa Perdana Menteri keenam, Dato' Sri Najib Razak atas RM2.6 bilion yang ditemui dalam akaun bank peribadinya. Mereka telah menemui bahawa salah satu anak syarikat 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) iaitu SRC International telah memindahkan berjuta-juta ringgit ke dalam akaun peribadi bekas Perdana Menteri tersebut.Menurut DS Shukri lagi, Tan Sri Abu Kassim ada bertanya kepadanya terlebih dahulu sama ada beliau bersedia untuk menerima akibat mendakwa DS Najib Razak yang mungkin membawa kepada pemecatan mereka. "Saya berkata 'tidak ada masalah', kerana saya bersedia melakukannya demi negara ini," kata DS Shukri pada sidang akhbar di ibu pejabat SPRM tadi.

Walau bagaimanapun, pada Julai 2016, apabila Tan Sri Abu Kassim ingin mendakwa DS Najib Razak, bekas Peguam Negara, Tan Sri Gani Patail telah disingkirkan dari kedudukannya

Bahkan, pengumuman penyingkiran itu turut disertai dengan pengumuman Kabinet dirombak yang juga menyaksikan pemecatan Timbalan Perdana Menteri ketika itu, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin dan bekas menteri Kemajuan Luar Bandar dan Wilayah, Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal di mana kedua menteri itu dikatakan lantang mempersoalkan isu 1MDB secara terbuka. Tan Sri Abu Kassim yang merupakan Ketua SPRM semanjak 2010, digantikan oleh Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad. Dengan semua pemecatan ini, DS Shukri membuat keputusan untuk pergi ke Washington pada 31 Julai 2016 untuk membangkitkan isu 1MDB kepada pihak berkuasa Amerika Syarikat.

DS Shukri berkata, sebelum beliau pergi ke Washington, beliau sudah pun menghadapi tekanan hebat

"Saksi yang saya temubual telah dilarikan. "Saya diugut untuk dipecat, diminta untuk bersara awal malah diugut untuk dihantar ke bahagian latihan," katanya. Beliau juga berkata bahawa beliau telah menerima ancaman daripada Whatsapp, menerima ancaman di kediaman rumahnya dan beliau juga turut dihantar peluru di mana beliau menyifatkan pengalaman itu sebagai 'menakutkan'.“Pengalaman saya dalam kes SRC dan 1MDB amat menakutkan, saya hampir mati dalam kes ini," tambahnya lagi.

Episod perjalanan di Washington juga mempunyai dramanya tersendiri."Saya nampak seseorang mengikuti saya (di Washington). Pasukan saya di Amerika Syarikat mengambil gambar lelaki yang mengikuti saya. "Saya menghantar gambar kepada Timbalan Ketua Pesuruhjaya (Operasi) SPRM Datuk Azam Baki, dan memintanya menghantarnya kepada Jeneral Polis," katanya sambil menambah bahawa beliau tahu bahawa lelaki itu mengekorinya.Shukri berkata beliau berasa tidak selamat di Washington dan memutuskan untuk pergi ke New York, di mana beliau bertemu dengan rakan yang bekerja di Jabatan Polis New York (NYPD). Menurut beliau,"Saya mendapat perlindungan daripada NYPD dan mereka memberikan saya tiga pengawal peribadi."

Dengan mengenang semula insiden ini, DS Shukri sebak dan hiba semasa sidang akhbar tersebut, di mana beliau berasa bersalah apabila diberitahu bahawa pegawai-pegawai yang bekerja untuknya telah ditangkap

Image via ismaweb

"Saya menangis di hadapan mat salleh. Saya dan Tan Sri Abu Kassim telah dituduh mempunyai konspirasi menjatuhkan kerajaan (Barisan Nasional)."Kami hanya mahu membawa kembali wang yang dicuri kembali ke negara kita. Sebaliknya kami dituduh sebagai pembelot," katanya lagi.Persidangan akhbar ini diadakan sejurus selepas DS Najib Razak tiba di Ibu Pejabat SPRM untuk memberi keterangan beliau mengenai skandal 1MDB.DS Shukri memberitahu sidang akhbar itu bahawa bekas Perdana Menteri itu dipanggil hanya untuk memberi keterangan dan bukan untuk menangkap mahupun menuduhnya.

Image via Twitter @GEanalyst

Siasatan 1MDB yang dibuka semula ini akan diterajui oleh SPRM serta Pasukan Petugas Khas Siasatan 1MDB yang baru dilantik itu akan memberi tumpuan sepenuhnya bagi membawa kembali wang tersebut yang telah dibelanjakan di seluruh dunia seperti di Amerika Syarikat, Switzerland dan Singapura.

The 28-year-old reportedly gave the RM4,000 to his fiancée to fund their wedding, which was scheduled for the end of March

Suspecting that something was wrong with the cash, the man's fiancée advised him to lodge a police report.The 28-year-old then told the police that he had just withdrawn the cash from an ATM, hoping that his forged notes would be replaced by the bank.

However, the soldier's plan failed upon investigation by the police

Probe into the man's claim showed that while he did withdraw RM4,000 from the bank, the other RM4,000 held by his fiancée were counterfeit money. Berita Harian reported ACP Stanley as saying that 55 pieces of RM50 and RM100 counterfeit notes were seized by the police. A genuine RM100 note and the printer used by the suspect were also taken away for investigation. The 28-year-old is being investigated under Section 489 of the Penal Code for possession of counterfeit notes.


M'sian Designer Christy Ng Reveals How 'Event Organisers' Conned Her And Business Owners

Renowned Malaysian shoe designer Christy Ng revealed how she was allegedly scammed by several con men within the past two years

In a Facebook post uploaded on 1 August, Christy warned the public about a scam artist who had robbed her company of thousands of Ringgit.

It all began on 31 July 2017 when Christy revealed that a man had solicited a total of RM17,920 from her company and several other businesses

The man claimed that he goes by the name, Patrick Goi, from a company called Pangoi International. He apparently offered rental space to various small businesses, including Christy Ng, to promote their products at Melawati Mall, Ampang. Christy mentioned that when they set up their booths on the first day of the event, the mall's management told them to leave as the "organiser" had not paid for the rental space at all."When contacted, the management told me that they could not get involved or force Patrick to give us refunds as the mall was never paid by him in the first place," she said.

In an exclusive interview with SAYS, Christy said that Patrick went into hiding when all of the vendors demanded for refunds

"His modus operandi is simple. He goes around contacting small business owners saying that he has event spaces to rent in shopping malls. He then collects the rental money from the vendors and runs away with it," she told SAYS.

Christy Ng, who began selling shoes at night markets, eventually opened her company in 2012 which specialises in custom-making shoes.

Christy finally resorted to making four police reports on the case in the past year as Patrick had not responded to any of her calls and messages

She revealed that she later bumped into him at MyTown mall and when she confronted him, he "ran away like a coward". When she shared this story on social media, several other business owners started opening up to Christy saying how they had also been scammed by the same man. The fashion designer went on to explain that the police had not done anything to solve the case.SAYS has tried to contact Patrick Goi via email for a statement regarding this matter but the email bounced back. There was also no response from the phone number on the company's website. Patrick was said to have contacted Christy through the same phone number.

Taking it as just one bad experience, Christy decided to put it all behind her and to consider the stolen cash as a "donation" to the con artist.
However, this year, she encountered a similar situation with another party.

During the interview, she said that Asia Islamic Fashion Week (AIFW) was cancelled twice this year as the event organiser had not paid for rental space."Usually industry practice is to give the full payment upfront," Christy replied, when asked if it is common to pay the complete amount instead of a deposit.The organiser of AIFW had allegedly collected monies from designers all across the world since January 2018. "The first event was cancelled in March because the organiser had not paid the deposit for the venue - Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC)."

Christy informed that there was supposed to be a second AIFW event in July, which was cancelled again because the hall rentals had not been paid for

As a result, the event, that was meant to be held from 26-29 July at Matrade Exhibition and Convention Centre (MECC) was cancelled.Christy mentioned that she had demanded for a refund from the organiser who quickly paid her two days later when she threatened to publicly expose her.However, Christy spoke to several designers from Brunei, Indonesia, and South Africa, and found out that they had not been refunded since March for AIFW."Both rounds, the organiser had collected the rental and fashion show fees from designers all over the world," she said.

"Most of the designers feel embarrassed to admit that they were conned for fear that it makes them look bad," the fashion designer revealed, which is why she felt the need to bring this issue to light

She told SAYS that she is currently working on a website to reveal the identities and information about these scam artists as a warning for other businesses.Christy concluded by reminding the public to always make thorough background checks and to confirm the legitimacy of event organisers and companies before doing business with them.

Speaking of con men, these are some other ways crooks have swindled money off their customers:

We Drink 23,000 Cups Of Coffee Every Second. Here’s How Coffee Is Made From Bean To Cup

Mmmm... Coffee <3

It's the first thing we wake up to every morning. And there's simply nothing like a sip of piping hot java to snap you into the day!

Image via The List

Whether you like it black or white, hot or iced, super kaw or slightly mild, coffee is just something that most of us can't live without. In fact, people around the world drink over 2.25 billion cups of java every day. That's about 23,000 cups every second!

However, most of the time, we don’t even realise all the effort that goes into making a good cuppa joe

Whether it’s the farmers who take care of coffee shrubs, or coffee roasters who make sure every coffee bean is roasted to perfection, a lot of thought goes into the coffee we drink every day.In 20 years, the world will drink around 50% more coffee than today. This means coffee producers around the world will need to learn how to cope with the demand while being sustainable. To ensure that we continue having good coffee for many more years, NESCAFÉ is on a mission to make coffee sustainable through its ‘Grown Respectfully’ initiative.

But first, what goes into a cup of coffee?

Image via Azure Standard

PHASE 1 - Seeding and NurturingCoffee seeds are first grown in nurseries in individual bags, shaded from harsh conditions, for around 8 to 20 months. Once ready, they're transplanted into soil. Then, it takes another three to five years for the coffee shrubs to grow and produce coffee cherries. Once these cherries ripen into a dark velvety red colour, they're ready for harvest.

Image via Bloomberg

PHASE 2: Selection and ProcessingCoffee cherries are usually harvested by hand and sorted to make sure only the ripe, good cherries are used. Next, the coffee cherries go through processing, drying, and hulling, before becoming green coffee beans that are ready for roasting.

Image via says.com

PHASE 3: Roasting, Grinding, and PackagingRoasting is when the magic happens - coffee beans begin to turn brown and the fragrant oils locked inside the beans start to emerge. The duration of the roast will determine whether you get a light, medium, or dark roast.Once coffee beans are roasted, they are either left whole or ground to the perfect size. After that, the beans or coffee grinds are packaged and sealed, so that air and moisture can't enter. Then, the coffee is ready to be delivered and sold in supermarkets.

That's what goes into making a good coffee, from bean to cup

This year, NESCAFÉ is celebrating a key milestone after establishing its footstep in Malaysia for many years

Image via NESCAFÉ

In 2020, NESCAFÉ has transitioned to only using 100% 4C-certified coffee beans for all its production in Malaysia, ensuring a sustainable coffee future. In conjunction with International Coffee Month, NESCAFÉ wants to celebrate this key milestone as Malaysia’s most-loved coffee!The 4C Code of Conduct is a core instrument of the 4C Association to promote sustainable production, processing, and trading of green coffee. Its code of conduct comprises 12 principles, 45 criteria, and 3 compliance levels. Find out more about 4C certified beans on this website.

Wondering what it means when coffee beans are 100% 4C certified and grown respectfully? Here's what you should know:

Our environment is protectedThe use and handling of pesticides is monitored and minimised, which requires close monitoring on the farm, while also ensuring that the soil has proper fertility and nutrient management. Safe water and waste management strategies are also implemented to ensure a healthier on-farm environment, while energy conservation is also monitored closely, contributing to a long-term sustainability and the fight against climate change.Improved lives and livelihood for farmersAll workers’ welfare is taken care of, where they receive proper labor contracts. Their working hours comply with national law, and overtime work will also be remunerated.Better prospects and opportunitiesCoffee farmers also receive training from 4C to better improve their skills and capabilities, and 4C also works towards improving the farmers’ living conditions and supporting their basic education.

Because of the milestone achieved this year, Nescafe has also launched its "Grown with respect, savoured with love" campaign

The campaign speaks about how coffee is sourced responsibly and grown respectfully, crafting the signature aroma and taste that Malaysians love. Find out more on their website.

Chinese Man Kidnapped 33 Years Ago Reunites With Family By Drawing Hometown From Memory

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

A Chinese man who was abducted at the age of four has been reunited with his biological mother after drawing a map of his childhood village from memory

According to BBC News, Li Jingwei finally made his way home to Yunnan province on Saturday, 1 January, after he was abducted and sold into a child trafficking ring 33 years ago.In December, he shared a hand-drawn map on China's TikTok, Douyin, which police matched to a small village and a woman whose son had disappeared.After DNA tests, the pair were reunited for the first time in over three decades. Video footage shows Li crying and hugging his mother while she also breaks down in tears.

Image via BBC News

Li, who does not remember his birth name, was lured away from home by a neighbour with a toy

He was trafficked to central China's Henan province, nearly 2,000km away, where he was sold to the family that would eventually raise him.Li, who has his own wife and children in Guangdong Province now, said he had no leads asking his adoptive parents or consulting DNA databases about where he came from.However, with the recent success stories of Guo Gantang and Sun Haiyang, two famous abduction cases that ended in reunions in 2021, Li said he was inspired to try again.

And this time, he turned to the Internet for help

"I'm a child who's finding his home. I was taken to Henan by a bald neighbour around 1989, when I was about four years old," he wrote in a video on Douyin on 24 December.In the video, he held up a sketch of a village, which included buildings, farms, and a bamboo forest."This is a map of my home area that I have drawn from memory," he said.His story quickly garnered the attention of netizens, local news outlets, and the authorities, who wanted him to experience his fairytale ending too.

With the assistance of the authorities, Li's hometown was narrowed down to Zhaotong, a mountainous city in Yunnan

Within days, he was put in touch with potential family members from the area, and according to VICE, he soon received a call from a woman who accurately described a scar on his chin that he had gotten while falling off a ladder as a boy.DNA tests were taken. On 28 December, China's Ministry of Public Security's Office Against Human Trafficking confirmed that the pair were related and arranged for them to be reunited on the first day of the new year. Li's father is no longer alive, they added."Thirty three years of waiting, countless nights of yearning, and finally a map hand-drawn from memory, this is the moment of perfect release after 13 days," Li wrote happily on Douyin after the reunion."Thank you, everyone who has helped me reunite with my family."

When The Dutch Prime Minister Accidentally Dropped His Coffee And Cleaned It Up Himself

On Monday, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, was on his way to the coalition council in the Hague when he dropped his coffee while entering a building

Image via Ireen Oostveen/YouTube

What he did next is a lesson in humility

In a video taken by NOS, a public broadcasting organisation from the Netherlands, the Dutch Prime Minister is seen not just stopping to pick up the cup but also, in a bid to clean up his mess, he reaches for a mop — and cleans it up himself.YES, the head of a major European government actually cleaned up after his own mistake, without waiting for the Parliament’s cleaning staff to get going.

Image via Ireen Oostveen/YouTube

And Rutte did so while being cheered on by the building's uniformed cleaning staff who stood next to him

Image via Ireen Oostveen/YouTube

The above sight of cleaning ladies, standing next to their prime minister, while he cleans up his own mess, is best described by a Dutch journalist with the NRC Handelsblad

The NRC Handelsblad journalist, Emilie van Outeren, who suggested that what was so special was not Rutte's reaction, but that of the cleaners, asking on Twitter: "In what country is there so little hierarchy that the cleaning ladies dare to react like that?"

While the prime minister did need a bit of help from one of the cleaning staff with his mop adjustment...

Paling Sedikit Dalam Sejarah, Pemimpin ASEAN Boikot Sidang Kemuncak ASEAN-AS

Hanya tiga pemimpin berbanding 10 anggota negara Asean keseluruhannya menyertai Sidang Kemuncak ASEAN-Amerika Syarikat

Hal ini dipercayai terjadi setelah Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Donald Trump tidak menghadiri sidang itu untuk tahun kedua.

Memetik Free Malaysia Today, sidang kemuncak yang bermula pada 4 November itu hanya dihadiri Pemimpin Tertinggi Thailand, Laos dan Vietnam manakala Amerika Syarikat (AS) hanya diwakili Penasihat Keselamatan Negara, Robert O'Brien.

Dalam pada itu, Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad yang pada awalnya dijadualkan menghadiri sidang tersebut turut menukar jadual mengetepikan sesi tersebut.

China seperti biasa menghantar Perdana Menteri Li Keqiang iaitu orang nombor dua Presiden Xi Jinping. Ini sekali gus menjadikan ia perwakilan paling sedikit dalam sejarah sejak Barack Obama menaik taraf hubungan dengan Asean pada tahun 2011.

Sementara itu, O'Brien dalam ucapannya berkata AS akan mempertahankan hubungannya dengan ASEAN dalam apa jua kos

Selain itu, Jurucakap Kementerian Luar Thai, Budasee Santipitaks turut mengesahkan pemimpin lain menjauhi pertemuan bersama wakil AS tersebut

Menurut laporan Bangkok Post, AS menyuarakan kegusaran terhadap diplomat ASEAN tentang boikot yang dilakukan pemimpin ASEAN. Setakat ini, AS dan ASEAN tidak mengeluarkan kenyataan selepas mesyuarat itu.

Mead Johnson Malaysia Issues Advisory For Parents Who Bought Its Baby Milk Powder

Mead Johnson Malaysia has asked consumers and retailers across Malaysia to return its baby milk powder for immediate replacement

Following the news reports of fake milk powder in Johor earlier this month, Mead Johnson Nutrition Malaysia (MJN) has started a Voluntary Product Replacement Program under which the company has advised consumers and retailers nationwide to return Enfalac A+ Step 1 Infant Formula in the 1.8kg box for immediate replacement.MJN said that the replacement programme is being conducted in light of the investigation into counterfeit products in a handful of retail outlets in Johor Baru."The goal of the Program is to remove any counterfeit cartons from the marketplace and allow consumers to easily ensure they only have genuine, high-quality MJN product that is safe for consumption and fit for use per the product label," the company said in a statement today, 16 December.

The company also launched a special product replacement helpline on Friday, 15 December, with easy-to-follow guidance on product verification and replacement for both  consumers and retailers

It said that the health and safety of infants is the company's top priority, and they highly value the trusted relationship the company has built with generations of parents and healthcare professionals."The reckless and irresponsible acts of the counterfeiters have created worry and uncertainty in the marketplace. Because the counterfeits cannot be easily and definitively identified without opening the carton, consumer concerns can only be addressed and fully resolved through this Product Replacement Program," MJM said.Consumers can call 1-800-88-3585 between 9am to 11pm Monday to Sunday, or complete this online form for return and replacement instructions.They will replace the product whether they are opened or unopened.

MJN has promised to collect all existing stocks of the product from retail outlets and exchange them for replacement product

Meanwhile, Mead Johnson Malaysia said that they will continue to work with the Malaysian authorities to bring the individuals responsible for the counterfeiting to justice and prosecute them to the full extent of the law.It also warned that they will not hesitate to use appropriate tools and resources to achieve this outcome as it's clear the perpetrators have no regard for the implications of their actions.

A couple of days back, the company had released a PSA to help consumers identify the fake packets:

"Makcik, Janganlah Buli Wanita Muda"- Dr Amalina Bagi Penjelasan Soal Pantang Cara Moden

Soal pantang selepas bersalin sering menjadi topik yang menarik untuk dibincangkan

Antara perkara yang ditakuti wanita selepas bersalin adalah semasa berpantang. Mana tidaknya, sering kedengaran kisah-kisah menakutkan yang perlu dilalui oleh para ibu dalam tempoh tersebut. Bukan sahaja makanan perlu dicatu, perlu makan jamu, mandi herba, berurut, memakai pilis di dahi dan banyak lagi. Malah si ibu juga perlu melakukan pelbagai perkara untuk mendapatkan kembali susuk tubuh selepas bersalin.Takutnya dengar!

Image via Google

Terbaru, Dr Amalina Bakri berkongsi di laman Twitter  miliknya mengenai isu di mana para ibu kini lebih memilih untuk menggunakan kaedah moden berbanding tradisional

Pada mulanya, Dr Amalina hanya berkongsi penerangan Pakar Perbidanan dan Sakit Puan iaitu Prof Dr Imelda Balchin yang menerangkan panjang lebar mengenai isu itu.Difahamkan, kaedah moden lebih 'mudah' dan tidak banyak pantang larang berbanding cara tradisional. Susulan itu, cara tersebut kini lebih dipilih oleh golongan ibu masa kini.

Dr Amalina kemudiannya turut memberikan pandangannya mengenai isu tersebut serta meluahkan rasa kesal apabila ada yang mengecam kaedah moden ini

Kalau some of the traditional methods itu ada yang memudaratkan dan ada amalan yang sia sia dan tidak mendatangkan kebaikan, kenapa mahu ikut? Contohnya orang zaman dahulu naik keldai/kuda sebagai mode of transportation, mahukah anda naik keldai atau anda mahu naik kereta? https://t.co/Uyva5AzpnV— Dr. Amalina (@DrAmalinaBakri) November 24, 2019

Masalahnya, ada makcik2 yang terlalu taksub dan membuli ibu-ibu muda sekira mereka tidak pantang cara tradisional. Banyak sudah message yang saya terima daripada wanita2 di Malaysia yang mereka disumpah seranah/dimaki kerana tidak mahu berpantang cara tradisional.— Dr. Amalina (@DrAmalinaBakri) November 24, 2019

Susulan itu, Dr Amalina memohon agar serangan terhadap para ibu ini dihentikan

Our job as a doctor is to tell you the truth. What’s good and what’s bad for you based on evidence-based medicine. Makcik2 janganlah membuli wanita2 muda, it’s their health, it’s their body, it’s their baby, it’s their decision.— Dr. Amalina (@DrAmalinaBakri) November 24, 2019

Sama ada mereka mahu ikut atau tidak pantang tradisional (after getting advice from the doctors), it’s for them to decide, not makcik bawang.— Dr. Amalina (@DrAmalinaBakri) November 24, 2019

Wanita zaman dahulu dan wanita zaman sekarang sudah berbeza. Banyak sudah kemajuan drp segi perubatan. Mortality rate pun sudah menurun. Orang zaman dahulu amalkan petua yang relevant untuk zaman dahulu, but they are not relevant untuk wanita zaman sekarang.— Dr. Amalina (@DrAmalinaBakri) November 24, 2019

“Tak takut suami lari ke?” seolah-olah perkahwinan itu hanya tentang seks, benda lain tak penting dah. #PerangMelawanSkuadMakcikBawang https://t.co/ThZL9nNteC— Dr. Amalina (@DrAmalinaBakri) November 24, 2019

Berpantang yang boleh bawa kebaikan tak apalah. Ini ada yang tak bagi minum air banyak (how can you breastfeed?), tak boleh makan sayur (then you will get constipated), tak boleh makan ayam/telur (they’re good source of protein) and macam2 lagi pantang yang pelik. https://t.co/Gs3lClQIjd— Dr. Amalina (@DrAmalinaBakri) November 24, 2019

Tambahnya lagi, masa selepas bersalin adalah waktu yang sangat penting, jika tidak dijaga dengan baik akan terjadilah kes-kes ibu meroyan

Postpartum period adalah waktu yang sangat delicate, jangan stress, eat healthy food, fruits and veggies, drink plenty of water, do what’s best for you and your baby. (Also to avoid postpartum depression). https://t.co/exvMsHRp8D— Dr. Amalina (@DrAmalinaBakri) November 24, 2019

Malah amalan ini sebenarnya perlu diamalkan seumur hidup, bukan waktu postpartum sahaja, sekiranya anda mahu jadi sihat sampai tua. “Kalau tak pantang tradisional lepas bersalin, nanti sakit2 masa tua” is not relevant.— Dr. Amalina (@DrAmalinaBakri) November 24, 2019

Semoga penerangan Dr Amalina ini dapat membuka mata pihak-pihak yang memandang serong kaedah moden ini. Bukan apa, setiap orang ada pilihan masing-masing kan?

LPPKN Is Giving Out Free HPV Vaccinations For M'sian Women Born In 1991 To 1996 This Year

Attention, all single Malaysian ladies born between 1991 and 1996. If you have yet to get your HPV vaccination done, now may be a good time do so... FOR FREE!

Image via Getty Images

In line with its annual free HPV vaccination programme, the National Population and Family Board (LPPKN) announced that the 2018 edition is now available for unmarried women born in 1991 to 1996 (22 to 27 years of age in 2018), as long as they are Malaysian citizens or a permanent residents of Malaysia. You can sign up for the vaccination programme in any Klinik Nur Sejahtera LPPKN nationwide.Typically, HPV vaccines would cost about RM600 to RM700 if done in private clinics.

To be eligible for the programme, you'd have to fulfil the following criteria:

			1. Born in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, or 1996;2. Not married / has never been married before; and 3. Not pregnant nor have severe allergies or serious diseases that require immediate medical attention.If you're already married or are born before 1991, you can still get vaccinated at RM540 for the entire course of vaccines (RM180 per shot).

Image via Daya Zaha Facebook

Some important things to note:- You may be required to pay RM15 for a quick medical check-up at the clinic. - You will receive three shots of the HPV vaccine within a span of six months i.e. the first and second shot will be a month apart from each other, while the third and last shot is to be received half a year after the first. You should receive an appointment card indicating the date you should receive your subsequent shots. - You should not get pregnant within a year after receiving the vaccination. - The vaccination service is only available on certain days within a certain timeframe which may differ between branches. Please contact your nearest Klinik Nur Sejahtera for more info. - Wear decent, modest clothing. It is, after all, a government-backed clinic.

This time around, however, the free vaccines are only allocated for 27,000 women on a first come, first served basis. Each clinic also has its own stock quota of vaccines.

To avoid disappointment, do call up your nearest Klinik Nur Sejahtera to check on stock availability as well as to make an appointment, if needed. You can find look up their contact information here.

For those who are not familiar with the HPV vaccine, it protects both men and women against cancers caused by high-risk HPV infections, such as:

1. Cervical cancer - virtually all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV;2. Anal cancer - about 95% of anal cancers are caused by HPV; and 3. Oropharyngeal cancers i.e. cancers of the middle part of the throat, including the soft palate, the base of the tongue, and the tonsils; about 70% are caused by HPV. HPV also causes rarer cancers such as vaginal cancers (65% are caused by HPV), vulvar cancers (50%), and 35% of penile cancers

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is so common that nearly all men and women (at least one in 10) will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives

Image via Cancer Research UK

HPV is transmitted via intimate sexual contact e.g. from having vaginal/anal sex, oral sex or other sex play. Hence, a person infected with HPV may transmit HPV to a sex partner, most of the time without knowing they themselves have been infected.That is because most people have no idea they have been infected, as they never develop symptoms nor have health problems and in 9 out of 10 infected people, the infection tends to go away by themselves within two years.

Women are not the only group of people who are encouraged to get vaccinated against HPV, men are recommended to get their shots of HPV vaccines as well

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), all girls and boys should get their recommended shots of the vaccine as early as 11 or 12 years old. Young adults who have yet to get vaccinated are encouraged to do so through age 26 for young women and 21 for young men.

Prevention is always better than cure, so do SHARE this with your female friends who are eligible for LPPKN's free HPV vaccination programme this year!

Sebenarnya ramai je yang berperangai macam ini. Kita kena pandai pilih kawan dan kalau boleh elakkan daripada bergaul dengan orang yang toksik.Senang cerita, kalau anda rasa tidak selesa berkawan dengan seseorang atau sekumpulan itu kerana perangai mereka yang toksik, lebih baik anda jauhkan diri dari awal supaya tidak ikut terjebak dengan gaya mereka.Kalau tidak, kita yang akan sakit hati bila dipinggirkan atau hanya digunakan bila mereka perlu. Bak kata netizen, putus kawan lagi sakit dari putus cinta.

Begitu juga dengan video ini yang dikongsi oleh seorang pengguna TikTok, apabila dia ingin mengajak kawannya keluar untuk lepak

  @azlannazeran  toxic friend  ##fyp ##fypppppppppppppp ##foryoupage ##fyp  original sound  - I C A L

Menurut lelaki yang bernama Azlan itu, dia ternampak status kawannya di WhatsApp yang kononnya bosan dan ingin keluar.Dia kemudiannya membalas status itu dan mengajak kawannya untuk lepak. Namun, kawannya memberi alasan tak jadi sebab malas pula nak keluar.Tidak lama selepas itu, Azlan ternampak status baru kawannya memuat naik boomerang air Starbucks bersama lagi dua orang kawan dengan kapsyen 'lepak luuu'.

Kecewa kerana ditipu, Azlan memuat naik video tersebut dengan kapsyen 'toxic friend'

Susulan tularnya video itu yang sehingga kini meraih lebih sejuta views di TikTok, rata-rata warganet geram dengan kawan Azlan yang tidak jujur dengannya.Mereka hanya boleh berkata stay strong dan jangan berkawan dengan orang seperti itu lagi kepada Azlan. Ramai juga yang pernah ditipu seperti dia kerana sikap sesetengah individu yang toksik dan memilih kawan.Tidak dapat dinafikan, memang ramai orang zaman sekarang yang berperangai sebegitu dan hanya nak berkawan dengan certain people saja. Atau dalam erti kata lain, cuma nak friends for benefit.Antara komen menarik daripada warganet:
