A chef turned writer and television host, Anthony was in France working on an upcoming episode of his award-winning series about travel, food and the peoples of the world called "Parts Unknown"

"It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain," the network said in a statement Friday morning."His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller."His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much."Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time," CNN said with the network's president, Jeff Zucker, adding that Anthony will be "greatly missed not only for his work but also for the passion with which he did it."

The news of Anthony's death has left everyone in the world stunned, with millions taking to social media to express their sorrow

CNN's chief international correspondent, Christiane Amanpour, took to her Twitter account to say, "My heart breaks for Tony Bourdain. May he rest in peace now."

My heart breaks for Tony Bourdain. May he rest in peace now. He was a friend, a collaborator, and family. A huge personality, a giant talent, a unique voice, and deeply, deeply human. My heart goes out to his daughter and family, and his longtime partners and friends at ZPZ.— Christiane Amanpour (@camanpour) June 8, 2018

Former US President Barack Obama tweeted a photo of him and Anthony sharing a meal together, writing how the chef taught us about food's "ability to bring us together."

“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him. pic.twitter.com/orEXIaEMZM— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) June 8, 2018

Anthony's girlfriend, Italian actress Asia Argento, tweeted to say that she remembered him as someone who "gave all of himself in everything that he did. He was my love, my rock, my protector."

pic.twitter.com/dB1s994Znf— Asia Argento (@AsiaArgento) June 8, 2018

Author and humorist John Hodgman took to Twitter to recall how Anthony taught him that "our "weird" is the world's delicious"

I ate with Bourdain. Probably 2004. He was big even then but he took time to sit with me in Chinatown to talk “weird” food for a magazine piece I was writing. He taught me that our “weird” is the world’s delicious. We ate chicken feet. The afternoon vibrated with life. RIP— John Hodgman (@hodgman) June 8, 2018

Khaled Beydoun, a law professor based in US, tweeted to say how Anthony was among the few who regularly humanised Muslims

Let’s not forget that Anthony Bourdain was one of the few prominent media personalities who regularly humanized Muslims and Arabs as regular, everyday people - without politicizing their lives or stories.— Khaled Beydoun (@KhaledBeydoun) June 8, 2018

What touched me most about Anthony Bourdain was that he represented the common man.  While a famous chef, he loved and celebrated food that working class people - from all over the world - loved.  Shawarma sandwich, an In ‘n Out burger, or jerk chicken from a street vendor.— Khaled Beydoun (@KhaledBeydoun) June 8, 2018

Writer and civil rights activist Shaun King tweeted out the four ways he hopes the people will live their lives to honour Anthony

4 ways I hope we will live our lives to honor Anthony Bourdain.... 1. Search out good food. Eat it. Tell everybody. 2. Find cultures other than your own. Value the people. Tell their stories. Lift them up. 3. Travel like crazy.4. Speak out unapologetically on injustice.— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) June 8, 2018

Fellow chef Gordon Ramsay took to his Twitter account to say that Anthony "brought the world into our homes and inspired so many people to explore cultures and cities through their food"

Stunned and saddened by the loss of Anthony Bourdain. He brought the world into our homes and inspired so many people to explore cultures and cities through their food. Remember that help is a phone call away US:1-800-273-TALK UK: 116 123— Gordon Ramsay (@GordonRamsay) June 8, 2018

Andrew Zimmern, another chef and TV host, said he was "a symphony. I wish everyone could have seen all of him. A true friend."

A piece of my heart is truly broken this morning. And the irony, the sad cruel irony is that the last year he’d never been happier. The rest of my heart aches for the 3 amazing women he left behind. Tony was a symphony. I wish everyone could have seen all of him. A true friend.— Andrew Zimmern (@andrewzimmern) June 8, 2018

Many praised Anthony for doing 'right' by other cultures, recognising his respect towards different cultures around the world

RIP Anthony Bourdain. He did right by Africans in his TV programs. Like this https://t.co/MZFGQYmXwo— IG: @Africasacountry (@africasacountry) June 8, 2018

Did right by Iran, too. (I see a lot of people shouting out various visits to other places in the global south as well.) https://t.co/ymD3XbFZKV— Ali Gharib (@Ali_Gharib) June 8, 2018

Bourdain’s Parts Unknown on the Philippines was wonderful - watched it flying out of Manila and it made me cry. The man had such empathy and insight.— Adam Harvey (@adharves) June 8, 2018

Just saw the sad news that Anthony Bourdain has died. I watched his show when I was in space. It made me feel more connected to the planet, its people and cultures and made my time there more palatable. He inspired me to see the world up close. #RIPAnthonyBourdain pic.twitter.com/Cb6IfmzylN— Scott Kelly (@StationCDRKelly) June 8, 2018

My family invited Anthony Bourdain into our home every week. And every week he took us around the world, trying new foods and speaking to new people and discovering new cultures. His writing, humor, & candor always reminding me of home. I'm heartbroken. We are failing one another— Danielle Campoamor (@DCampoamor) June 8, 2018

Anthony Bourdain had one of the only shows on tv that tried with all its might to teach Americans not to be scared of other people.— Allison F. (@ablington) June 8, 2018

Rest in peace, chef!

Why 'Malaysia' Is A Popular Baby Name Among Americans

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

According to the US Social Security Administration, American parents are naming their children 'Malaysia'

Since 2011, the name 'Malaysia' has consistently been among the top 1,000 most popular names for baby girls in US.The name 'Malaysia' cracked the top 500 most popular female baby names in 2013, and it has stayed in that range up until 2018, before it fell to rank #559 in 2019.'Malaya' - which was what the country and its surrounding islands were called during the British colonial times - was ranked the 671st most popular name in 2019.

Image via Bernama

But that's not all – 'Malaysia' is also the most popular country name

Swimmingly previously reported that Malaysia inspired the most baby names for 2013, with a total of 630 girls bearing the name.Other popular country names included Kenya, America, India, and Ireland.

Image via Swimmingly

Why is Malaysia such a popular name? Well, one possible explanation can be traced back to reality TV show Basketball Wives LA star Malaysia Pargo.

Jannero and Malaysia Pargo.

At the time of the show's premiere in 2011, Malaysia Pargo had been married to NBA player Jannero Pargo. The couple were married for 10 years before their divorce in 2014.Malaysia Pargo is a mainstay of the series, and was on Basketball Wives LA for the entirety of its five seasons. She later joined the main series, Basketball Wives, in its sixth season and is set to return for its ninth season. Interestingly, Malaysia Pargo is merely her stage name. Several reports state that Malaysia's first name is actually 'Laquisha'.

An assault involving a 'Malaysia King' in the US resulted in Malaysians jokingly disavowing her:

                A Woman Named 'Malaysia King' Was Arrested For Assaulting Uber Driver In The US

The news of her arrest has since prompted Malaysians on Twitter to 'disown' the 24-year-old.

The PM's New Special Health Advisor Has Served In War Zones And Once Stitched Herself Up

This is Dr Jemilah Mahmood

Image via Hijab & Heels

For the uninitiated, Dr Jemilah graduated as a Doctor of Medicine (MD) from the National University of Malaysia (UKM) and went on to earn her Masters in Obstetrics & Gynaecology from the same university.Highly experienced in the medical field, she has been involved directly in various humanitarian works locally and internationally such as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the United Nations (UN), and the Humanitarian Response Branch at UNFPA.Dr Jemilah is the founder of the Malaysian Medical Relief Society (MERCY Malaysia).

On Tuesday, 31 March, she was appointed as the Special Advisor to the Prime Minister on Public Health

Her appointment has been noted as a "timely" one by Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham, who said that with Dr Jemilah's experience "we can make a big difference in healthcare in Malaysia".While describing her appointment as a huge responsibility, Dr Jemilah said that she will do her very best to support all ministries, agencies, and organisations so that Malaysia will lead in healthcare."But first, let's tackle COVID-19 together," she tweeted yesterday.

Thank you very much for the trust and huge responsibility. I will do my very best to support all ministries, agencies and organisations including private sector & civil society so that #Malaysia will lead in healthcare. But first let’s tackle #COVID19 together.— Dr Jemilah Mahmood (@JemilahMahmood) March 31, 2020

In 2003, Dr Jemilah was shot in her hip when she and her team were on their way to deliver medical supplies to a children's hospital in Iraq.
And like a fighter, she sewed herself up and helped save others.

"I was shot through a friend, Dr Baba – he was more injured and he took the bullet for me," Dr Jemilah told Australia's Sydney Morning Herald in an exclusive interview back in 2017.The bullet had gone through her friend and a thick book before hitting Dr Jemilah's hip. In pain and crying, she stitched herself up and got Dr Baba on the operating table.During the self-surgery, she decided to leave the bullet inside her hip, as she wondered if she made a grave mistake dragging her team from MERCY Malaysia through a war-torn country."We had a white flag, everything was correct," she explained, stressing that they were shot despite the clear sign of the white flags of humanitarians on the ambulances they were travelling in.

Her heroism didn't stop there

Even before she could take a breather and digest the incident, she was pulled back to reality by news of an anaemic woman who was going into labour.Dr Jemilah performed an emergency C-section and delivered a healthy baby boy, all within hours after being shot in the hip and losing part of her team.However, the reality of the situation only sank in six hours later, when Dr Jemilah asked the woman who had just given birth why was she packing her things to return home."If the bombs drop on my home tonight, I want to be with my children," the woman said.That's when it hit Dr Jemilah — it is people like this woman and the many humanitarians who have lost their lives trying to save other people who are the true heroes. She pointed out that calling her a hero is a disrespect to all those who have died in such situations."Why am I complaining about this bullet in my hip? We can't fight our destiny. There must be a reason why I am here? If I gave up, I wouldn't be doing justice to those who gave their lives."It served as a realisation for her that humanitarians aren't protected from the brutalities of war.

Menurut laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Malaysia Kini, Tun Mahathir berkata bahawa, "Najib bertanggungjawab sepenuhnya terhadap 1MDB. Tiada apa-apa yang boleh dilakukan tanpa tandatangannya, dan kami mempunyai tandatangannya pada semua perjanjian yang dimeterai oleh 1MDB. Oleh itu, dia bertanggungjawab."Pihak kerajaan juga mengatakan mereka sedang bekerja keras dengan sepantas mungkin dan dikatakan telah mempunyai kes yang hampir sempurna untuk disiasat. Kes sasaran yang disebutkan merupakan Najib, Jho Low dan beberapa kes yang lain.

Menurut Robiah, idea mengadakan 'butik' ini tercetus ekoran beliau serta suaminya sedang memikirkan cara untuk mengisi masa lapang selepas mereka bersara. Idea itu kemudiannya telah mendapat perhatian anak-anak kariah yang turut sama mahu menyumbang tenaga.

Dengan adanya aplikasi WhatsApp dan medium media sosial yang lain, program itu telah mendapat sambutan yang amat menggalakkan apabila ramai mula menghantar pakaian terpakai sehingga mencecah 5,000 helai sebulan!

“Idea infak pakaian ini mendapat sokongan Pengerusi Masjid Permatang Rambai Datuk Ghazali Hashim yang kemudian memberi ruang kepada skuad infak untuk beroperasi di kawasan berhampiran masjid,” kata Robiah kepada Harian Metro.

“Sehingga kini, kami berjaya mengumpul lebih 10,000 pakaian terpakai dan lebih 2,000 pakaian baharu,” tambahnya lagi.Antara yang mengunjungi masjid itu bagi mendapatkan pakaian percuma adalah penduduk setempat serta penduduk luar kariah itu termasuk dari Kulim dan Sungai Petani, Kedah.'Butik' berkenaan beroperasi 24 jam setiap hari dengan dikendalikan 20 sukarelawan berusia antara 24 hingga 60 tahun.

Selain mendermakan pakaian terpakai kepada 'butik' ini, orang ramai juga boleh memberi bantuan kewangan yang mana terdapat sebuah tabung yang telah diletakkan di hadapan butik infak itu bagi menggalakkan amalan bersedekah

“Kami menerima sumbangan daripada sesiapa pun yang mahu menderma,” ujar Robiah yang turut menyatakan bahawa wang tersebut akan digunakan untuk membeli barangan makanan seperti beras, gula dan tepung untuk disumbangkan pula kepada golongan asnaf.

Syabas diucapkan kepada pihak pengurusan Masjid Permatang Rambai dan pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam menyediakan kemudahan ini.
Semoga pihak-pihak lain dapat mengikuti inisiatif ini!

How to Make Your Phone 'Self-Destruct' a la Mission Impossible

WATCH: University aims to build 'vanishing' electronics that will dissolve in water

      Unsupported video platform

READ: How the dissolving tech that will self-destruct in water

Imagine this: There's no need to throw out your old cellphone, because it will self-destruct.
That's the idea behind a project at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where researchers are investigating how to build electronics that vanish in water.

        ndtv.com

They are called 'transient electronics.' Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are studying how to make devices, like cellphones, disappear or dissolve so they don't pose a threat to the environment.

        kcci.com

John Rogers is a professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the university. Rogers says the goal of the "born to die" program is to design transient technology that can dissolve at the end of its useful life, thus saving space in landfills and reducing waste.

        huffingtonpost.com

You don’t need your cell phone to last for 25 or 50 years,” Rogers said to The Associated Press. “Nobody wants to keep it for that long anyway.”

        yahoo.com

The research team isn't there yet. But it has designed a chip built on a thin film of silk that dissolves when hit with water.

        indiatimes.com

Once the chip has done what it was implanted to do, it can break down in the body without negatively affecting the patient.

        yahoo.com

IN PICTURE: Environmentally safe electronics that also vanish in the body

Is this really possible?

Currently, the parts inside of a smartphone are made largely of materials that take decades to break down, filling up landfills long after their usefulness has passed.

        yahoo.com

With these new materials that self-destruct, it would prevent those landfills from being filled with discarded devices, and minimize the chemicals leeching into the ground from the used electronics.

        time.com

So far, the team has built a chip on a thin film of silk that dissolves when hit with water. Bad news if you ever drop your phone in the toilet, good news if you want to keep your phone from sitting in a landfill for years after your next upgrade.

        huffingtonpost.com

The ongoing research project has other implications for the future, too. Because of how the chips can dissolve, they could also be used in medical implants designed for performing diagnostic or therapeutic functions

10 Bukit Di Semenanjung Yang Kaki Hiking Wajib Panjat 'At Least' Sekali

1. Bukit Keluang, Terengganu

Bukit Keluang mempunyai tarikan tersendiri yang mampu memukau para pengunjung tempatan dan luar negara dengan keindahan dan keunikannya. Bukit ini terletak di Kuala Besut, Terengganu yang yang jaraknya 4 kilometer dari Pekan Kuala Besut.

Tambahan lagi, bukit ini betul-betul terletak berdekatan dengan Pantai Bukit Keluang. Jadi jika anda berjaya naik hingga ke puncak anda pasti berasa sangat teruja dengan keindahan pemandangan landskap pantai dan laut yang biru.

Image via Instagram #bukitkeluang

Yang membezakan bukit ini dengan bukit-bukit yang lain, anda perlu melalui tangga yang agak tinggi dahulu pada awal pendakian.

2. Bukit Tabur, Kuala Lumpur

Image via Farouq Johari/Facebook

Kami yakin mesti ramai yang mengenali bukit ini. Bukit Tabur atau nama lainnya Bukit Hangus terletak berdekatan Taman Melawati, Kuala Lumpur. Ketinggian bukit ini tidaklah terlalu tinggi dan tidaklah terlalu rendah. Ketinggian bukit ini adalah setinggi 396 meter (1,300 kaki), jadi ia juga sangat sesuai buat beginner yang ingin menceburi dalam aktiviti pendakian.

Image via Instagram @zulehasalimi

Bagaimanapun laluannya agak mencabar dan boleh dikatakan 70% laluannya adalah berasaskan batu. Terdapat banyak flora di bukit ini yang mempunyai nilai perubatan dan apabila tiba di puncak, anda dapat melihat pemandangan Klang Gate Dam yang mengagumkan.

3. Bukit Batu Putih, Port Dickson

Image via Farouq Johari/Facebook

Buat anda yang berhasrat ingin bercuti ke pantai Port Dickson, apa kata anda selitkan sekali Bukit Batu Putih di dalam jadual perjalanan anda itu. Bukit ini terletak di Hutan Rekreasi Tanjung Tuan, Port Dickson yang mana ia mempunyai view laut biru yang sangat cantik dan mendamaikan.

Image via Instagram @farouqjohari

Akan tetapi buat pengetahuan anda, bayaran RM1 dikenakan untuk memasuki hutan rekreasi ini. Kebanyakan mereka yang mendaki bukit ini adalah untuk melihat pemandangan sun set dan sun rise yang sangat cantik dari arah laut.

4. Bukit Broga, Semenyih

Ini lagi satu bukit yang terkenal di Selangor. Bukit Broga atau lebih dikenali sebagai Broga Hills. Ia terletak di bahagian Timur Pekan Semenyih sejauh 4 kilometer menghala ke Broga. Ketinggiannya bukit ini ialah 400 meter dari paras laut.

Image via Instagram @nickynrahman

Boleh dikatakan setiap hujung minggu, puncak bukit ini pasti dipenuhi oleh orang ramai. Ketinggian yang sederhana ini menjadi lokasi latihan bagi mereka yang suka dengan aktiviti pendakian. Bila berada di puncak bukit ini anda dapat melihat pemandangan yang cukup hijau dipenuhi dengan daun lalang.

Image via Instagram #brogahill

Kalau anda nak tahu, Broga Hills juga terkenal sebagai salah satu lokasi outdoor bagi sesi fotografi perkahwinan. Bukit ini juga menjadi lokasi buat angkasawan pertama Malaysia iaitu Dr Syeikh Muszaphar Shukor melakukan sesi fotografi perkahwinan bersama isterinya.

5. Bukit Batu Condong, Kemensah

Bukit Batu Condong juga adalah lokasi baru yang dijumpai untuk aktiviti pendakian. Ia tidak tinggi dan tidak sukar malah anda mampu sampai ke puncak berketinggian 285 meter ini kurang dari 45 minit sahaja.

Image via underskinned.com

Laluan awal trek ini dipenuhi dengan pokok buluh dan juga dengan gigitan nyamuk. Jadi, kami yakin sekali anda pasti tidak akan terlepas daripada gigitan nyamuk apabila anda di sini. Oleh itu, adalah disyorkan untuk anda memakai pakaian lengan panjang semasa mendaki.

Image via underskinned.com

Tambahan lagi, terdapat beirut di puncak dan anda boleh melihat beberapa mercu tanda kota Kuala Lumpur (KLCC, Menara KL dan Menara Maybank). Wow, **bestnya!* Anda pasti tidak akan melepaskan peluang ini. Lagi pula, kawasan bukit ini masih bersih dan tidak dicemari.

6. Bukit Batu Lebah, Melaka

Art Harun: Parliament Road Closure Was Police Decision

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

Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun today refuted claims that he closed the august house on 2 August

The Speaker, also known as 'Art' Harun, also stated that he did not bar any member from entry the day when opposition members of Parliament (MPs) marched towards the Parliament building after not being allowed in."Actually, Parliament is not closed. I instructed the Parliament Secretary to say Parliament is open as I know MPs have left their things in the Dewan and office," said Azhar."On how the road was closed, it was a police action. Why it was closed? I have no knowledge," he was quoted as saying by Malay Mail.During that kerfuffle in early August, Parliament was in the midst of a special emergency sitting when it was postponed for two weeks after being deemed high risk for COVID-19. Undeterred, a reported 107 MPs in opposition to the then-Muhyiddin government descended on Dataran Merdeka, which led to the march.Their efforts were then foiled by the police midway at the Dato Onn roundabout.

Azhar also confirmed that he granted permission for the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to conduct their business that same day

The Speaker made the statement in response to a grievance raised by PAC Chairman and Ipoh Timur MP Wong Kah Woh. Wong earlier said that he was threatened with arrest by the police if he attempted to enter the building that day, even though a scheduled meeting was granted prior permission."I gave specific instructions to allow PAC members to enter Parliament that day. I am willing to meet with the police to verify my orders," Azhar said, according to Malaysiakini.

In response, Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin said that the actions taken by the police were "to protect Parliament" and MPs' health

Hamzah, who is also Larut MP, served as the Perikatan Nasional Home Minister at the time of the incident."Parliament has postponed its session. Hence the reason, when the order not to be allowed to enter (sic), the police took the power in accordance with Act 342," he was quoted as saying by Malay Mail.He cited the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988, from which all pandemic-related orders have originated from."So what is our problem here?" said Hamzah.

Image via Bernama/Berita Harian

Hamzah went on to say that he has no choice but to compound the participating MPs, as to avoid "double standards"

"At the time, there was standard operating procedures (SOPs) that stated we cannot have gatherings anywhere," the minister said plainly.However, he said that after discussions with Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, they decided to lower the compounds from RM3,000 to RM1,000 each."There cannot be double standards between the MPs and other rakyat who also had similar gatherings, so we were forced to. I apologise," Hamzah said, as reported by Malaysiakini.

In a heartwarming post, a soup kitchen in Kuala Lumpur shared that a former regular of theirs recently returned to thank them for helping him when he was homeless

Last Wednesday, 21 June, Kechara Soup Kitchen (KSK) shared that the man came back to their kitchen to gift the team a box of Musang King durian in appreciation of all the help they gave him during his days as a homeless man."This is Mr Lee, an ex-client. He was previously homeless and received hot food that KSK provides daily," the soup kitchen wrote.The non-governmental organisation (NGO) said that they had helped him replace his MyKad last year, which led him to get a job, rent a room, and eventually, rebuild his life.

They also proudly shared that Lee had previously returned to gift them two packets of orange juice when he received his first pay cheque

"We are so happy that Mr Lee is now living a life of self-worth and self-dignity," they said.The organisation also thanked their many supporters who have helped made their service to the community, and individuals such as Lee, possible."Thank you to all the donors and volunteers who have been a part of the KSK Society to have enabled this," read the post that has garnered over 15,000 reactions and expressions of gratitude from the public.

Malaysians Confess What They Wish They Could Do In The Office

No matter how much you love your job, there's always room for improvement.
Since a lot of us spend almost all day at the office, there's sure to be something we wish we could do at work to make our working lives more enjoyable.

Image via Gfycat

Ever felt like sneaking a drink during office hours? With the new non-alcoholic Heineken 0.0, now you can! More deets at the end of the story.

In collaboration with Heineken, we asked Malaysians to confess the things they wish they could do in the office.
Here's what they had to say:

Note: These answers were submitted to us. We wrote out and photographed them on their behalf. Names have been changed for privacy.

1. "I wish I could bring my doggo to work"

Image via SAYS

"I know there's a lot of pet-friendly offices out there but sadly mine is not one of them :( I have a big, fluffy Chow Chow that I super love, he always looks so sad and whines when I leave for work every morning. I'd love to be able to bring him along to the office."- Felicia, Accountant

2. "I wish I could comfortably take the occasional nap"

Image via SAYS

"Okay lah, it's not like I can't nap right now. Sometimes when I'm really burnt out, I just put my head down on my table and take a quick power nap. But it would be great if our office had nap rooms for us to rest and recharge."- James, Writer

3. "I wish I could control the office temperature"

Image via SAYS

"Don't laugh at me, this is totally a thing okay! Our office has a central aircond system so no one can control it. We're always sending emails to HR complaining that it's too hot or too cold lol damn kesian them. If only there was a way to adjust it ourselves then we wouldn't have to kacau them so much!"- Nalini, Investment Banker

4. "I wish I had the freedom to not work at my desk"

Image via SAYS

"It would be nice if we didn't have to be stuck at our desks all day but our office doesn't have any other areas for us to work from, even though we all have laptops. I get so restless sitting in one spot the whole day."- Rohan, IT Technician

5. "I wish I could get free massages at work"

Image via SAYS

"I know this is a bit unrealistic la haha, but hey a girl can dream! I get so stiff sitting at my desk all day, especially my shoulders and neck. Having an in-house masseuse to work out all the tension and knots would be a dream come true omgggg I can just imagine the bliss already. But I'd settle for a really good massage chair too hehe."- Ching Yee, HR Executive

6. "I wish that I could take breaks and have a bit of fun"

Image via SAYS

"With my job, it's pretty much go, go, go all day, every day so it can get pretty tiring and stressful. Having something like a game room with stuff like pool and foosball tables, gaming consoles, etc. where we could chill and blow off some steam would be awesome! I think it'll really help with team bonding too."- Anand, Branch Manager

7. "I wish that our office would provide us with free food"

Image via SAYS

"I'm so jealous of those offices that give their employees free meals or even just a fully stocked pantry will all kinds of free snacks. My office doesn't have any of those, we all keep our own snack stashes."- Justin, Software Engineer

8. "I wish that I was able to workout in the office"

Image via postimg.cc

"I usually hit the gym before coming in to work but life would be so much easier for me if there was a gym in the office, complete with showers. Then I could just drive straight to office, get in my morning workout, and still be ready to start working on time."- Meena, Education Counsellor

9. "I wish I could have a drink at work"

Image via SAYS

"My friend's office has a bar, damn nice wei! They can only drink after office hours lah but it's still pretty cool. Imagine being able to sip on a cold beer after a long day, ahhh so syiok!"- Micheal, Corporate Communications Manager

For those who like beer, you no longer have to wait till after work hours to have one. With the new Heineken 0.0, you can enjoy a Heineken anytime, anywhere!

Image via SAYS

You have probably heard of the Heineken 0.0 which is Heineken's first non-alcoholic malt beverage… it still tastes just as good as a Heineken Beer! We enjoyed its fruity notes and soft, malty body.You can enjoy Heineken whenever you want - during work, lunch, after a workout, or before a drive. Just make sure you're non-Muslim and at least 21 years old k? ;)

Hari pertama:

Hari pertama, sampai Perth pukul 4 ptg. Sampai bahagian imigresen, kami kena check beg dgn pegawai kt sini. Maybe sebab ktorang declare bawa brg makanan, so dia check very detail dlm beg ktorg.

Lepastu pegi solat kat surau yg terletak sebelah kiri bila keluar dr arrival gate tu. Surau tu cmpur laki perempuan so jgn terkejut kalau nmpak laki/pompuan dlm tu.Selesai je solat, terus kluar dr airport dan menuju ke homestay pertama kami area Minland. Tempah guna Airbnb waktu kat Malaysia, dlm 2 mggu sebelum berlepas. Agak lewat tempah sebenarnya so harga mahal sikit. 1 malam dlm RM280 cmtu, tp still ok sbb duduk 4 org.Ada 2 option nak pegi ke homestay kami area mindland (jauh sikit dr perth city)1) Naik uber ($28 per car, activate guna kredit card, xleh guna cash)2) Naik bas ($4.7 per person valid utk semua public transportation within 2hours)Last skali kami pilih option 2.

Takut kemalangan.Ini list tempat kitaorang pergi pada hari ketiga:1) Blue Boat House. FOC.Ktorg parking area university yg berdekatan, risau sbb byk dgr kes keta kena pecah area kawasan blue boat house tu. Kalau nak ke sini better pegi awal pagi utk dptkan gmbr yg cantik dan juga xramai org time tu.

How An Online Forum Helped A Girl Solve The Mystery Of Late Grandma's Secret Letter

Janna Holm's grandmother passed away in 1996, and left the family a mysterious coded letter the family could not solve for nearly 20 years

Front of the index card
Image via imgur.com

When Janna Holm's grandmother died 18 years ago, she left her grandkids with a puzzle - index cards filled with random, indecipherable sequences of letters.

        ksdk.com

Holm and her family spent months trying to solve the puzzles to no avail; they eventually stopped trying. That was until Holm's father happened across one of the cards several days ago.

        mashable.com

The index card-sized letter was filled with indecipherable sequence of alphabets on both the front and back pages

Back of card:
Image via imgur.com

In Jan 2014, Holm decided to ask netizens on Ask MetaFilter and was surprised by how helpful the online community is

Holm's father recently found one of the cards, and Holm, who loves puzzles, decided to delve into the project once again. She asked for help Monday on MetaFilter.com, a community blog, thinking her grandmother may have been trying to remember lyrics, and that each letter stood for a word in a song.

        usatoday.com

They managed to crack the code in 14 minutes

“Holy cow! 14 minutes to solve the back of the card that has been bugging my family for 20 years! That is amazing!” She typed. “I never thought of her as super religious, but we did grow up in a Lutheran household, so that makes sense. Any further insights on the front of the card?”

        fox4kc.com

Holm's post on Ask MetaFilter
Image via imgur.com

It started with one user recognising the code "OFWAIH" as a long acronym for a Christian Prayer: "Our Father who art in heaven'.."

One user, “harperpitt,” was the first to point out to Holm that its meaning could be of religious origin.
“Was she a religious woman? The last As, as well as the AAA combo, make me think of ‘Amen, amen, amen.’ So extrapolating — TYAGF = ‘Thank you Almighty God for…’ It would make sense to end with ‘Thank you, Almighty God, for everything, Amen – Thank you, Almighty God, for everything, Amen, Amen, Amen,’” posted the user, who went on to decode the back of the card as the Lord’s Prayer.

        fox4kc.com

Holm slowly realised that her grandmother had wrote a personal prayer to the family in codes

Holm guessed it might be a personal prayer. Using her own deductions and comments from the website, Holm compiled a prayer in which her grandmother was giving thanks, and praying that her loved ones would be safe, happy and healthy.

        usatoday.com

"I think at this point, it's basically a personal prayer of [my grandma's] ... so I don't know if anyone is going to be able to truly decode the whole thing," Holm told Mashable during a phone call on Tuesday. " It's nice to just have an idea of what it is It's nice to just have an idea of what it is and what, in general terms, an idea of what she was thinking about in her last couple weeks."

        mashable.com

Holm slowly realised that her grandmother had wrote a personal prayer to the family in codes
Image via imgur.com

Why did grandma use codes?

Holm said she's not sure why her grandmother used a code, but perhaps, as her memory was fading, she used it as a "cheat sheet" to help recall prayers.

        usatoday.com

Although much of the codes are still a mystery as it could be grandma's personal words, Holm is happy to finally have an idea of what her grandmother had been thinking of during her final days

"It was kind of relieving to have an answer, even if we don't know what every single word says," Janna Holm, who posted the card, said. "It's nice to know that they were prayers, and kind of gave some insight into what she was thinking and what she was focused on in her last couple weeks."

        usatoday.com

Holm's grandmother passed away due to brain cancer when Holm was about 9 years old. Grandma could not talk during her last two weeks, but managed to scribble 20 index cards for the family.

"
In my grandmother's final days battling brain cancer, she became unable to speak and she filled dozens of index cards with random letters of the alphabet. I'm beginning to think that they are the first letters in the words of song lyrics, and would love to know what song this was. This is a crazy long shot, but I've seen Mefites pull off some pretty impressive code-breaking before!"

        metafilter.com

"
My grandmother passed away in 1996 of a fast-spreading cancer. She was non-communicative her last two weeks, but in that time, she left at least 20 index cards with scribbled letters on them. My cousins and I were between 8-10 years old at the time, and believed she was leaving us a code. We puzzled over them for a few months trying substitution ciphers, and didn't get anywhere."

The 27-year-old was recently selected by The North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) as a 2021 EE 30 Under 30 Changemaker for his work in environmental education.

Quek is a marine biologist by training and the co-founder of Reef Stakes – the first marine-themed role-playing card game in Malaysia

Hailing from Petaling Jaya, Quek graduated with a Masters of Science in Biodiversity, Conservation, and Management from the University of Oxford.He currently works as a conservationist and policymaker at the Malaysian Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources."My interest in biodiversity first manifested as a love for the great outdoors. Although I grew up in the city, I was an active boy scout and would often go camping in the tropical rainforest," he told NAAEE.The young Malaysian was also previously a conservation officer at the Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers (MYCAT) and is a regular environmental issues columnist for Malay Mail.

As an active player in local outreach programs, Quek knew there was much negativity and jargon attached with environmental messaging

"People are easily turned off," said Quek.So, in the past few years, he and his co-founders decided to explore the possibility of turning basic environmental concepts into a game and came up with Reef Stakes."The game is designed to mimic real-life stakeholder relationships, introduce some of Malaysia's most iconic marine species, and highlight threats to coral reefs," he explained.The game has since been used by various local organisations for their outreach work and was also awarded  the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Seeds of the Future grant by the United States in 2019.

With the recognition by the NAAEE this year, Quek and his team will be receiving support to boost their impact

Quek was chosen to join a cohort of 12 changemakers from eight other countries — all young, inspiring leaders committed to addressing the world's sustainability and environmental issues — to receive a grant and professional development training.Through the Changemaker Grant, Quek will be running a youth capacity development programme called Reef Spawn on Pulau Tioman in August this year.Through the bootcamp, his team aims to equip 12 more budding conservationists with the knowledge and skills to contribute to the environment and empower youths in their local communities.

Applications to the Reef Spawn program are being accepted from 4 April to 23 April. The application form can be found here.The Reef Stakes card game retails at RM55. Find out more on their website here.

Looking To Save Electricity At Home? Here Are 5 Fun Things You Can Do With Your Family

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Tenaga Nasional Berhad.

Looking to control how much electricity you use?

Since we're spending a lot of time at home, it's no surprise that we're turning on our lights, air con, and other appliances more frequently. This may result in higher electricity consumption. But while there are many ways we can conserve electricity at home, that doesn't mean we have to sacrifice having fun with the family. In fact, there are tonnes of fun activities you can do with the family, while also saving energy together at the same time!

Here are some creative, energy-saving activities you can do together at home:

1. Swap online games and screen time with board games or challenges

Image via @dragonimages (Freepik)

Instead of being glued to your phone, computer, or TV, why not make a simple challenge or play board games to kill time? For instance, plan a simple challenge that requires your loved ones to hunt for clues placed around the house. Or, you could even challenge your partner with workout or house chore challenges to determine who does them better. To make it more competitive, set a time limit to complete the challenge!

2. Spend time gardening or sprucing up your balcony together

Image via Dear Designer

Other than breathing in the fresh air, you'll also notice how spending time decorating your balcony or gardening makes a great bonding sesh. You can also opt to adorn your balcony or home with indoor plants that can ultimately help keep your house cool. This way, not only will your home look brighter and cosier, you'll realise that you won't have to switch on the air con frequently.

3. Turning clean-up into a fun family activity

Image via @odua (Freepik)

With increased time spent at home, it's more important than ever to ensure the home is tidy. To get your family members excited, create a scoreboard and hand out points based on the number of tasks completed! The one with the most points will get to decide what the next family activity will be! For example, award your loved ones with 15 points if they wipe down the windows, or with 10 points if they sweep the floor. For more difficult tasks like cleaning the air con filter, award them with 100 points! Whilst we are on this, it's important to clean the air con filter. By replacing a clogged and dirty filter with a clean one, we improve the air con's performance, leading to reduced energy consumption. So, not only will you have a cleaner home, but also better functioning and more energy-efficient appliances.

4. Plan family meals by decluttering your fridge

Image via @tirachardz (Freepik)

Sometimes, we tend to forget to clean out the fridge and let the groceries pile up. During times like these, make decluttering the fridge a chance to plan your family meals better. Sort your fridge out by putting perishable goods in the front and centre, and remember to separate your fruits and vegetables. Once everything is in order, you can now easily plan your family meals. A neater, well-organised fridge provides better airflow, and this in return, will lead to lower energy usage for your fridge.

5. Try out no-bake recipes for a change

Image via @tirachardz (Freepik)

Spending every weekend baking yummy treats with your family? While it makes an awesome bonding sesh, did you know that the oven requires a lot of power to operate, making it one of the home appliances that uses the most electricity?But, instead of cancelling your weekly bake sessions, why not try out no-bake recipes like no-bake cheesecake, no-bake cookies, pudding, and more! This way, not only do you still get to make yummy treats with your loved ones, but you also get to save more energy in the long run.

Looking for more tips? TNB has taken the initiative to share simple tips you can implement to save on your energy consumption.

Knowing that everyone is struggling to conserve electricity as they stay at home, we can move towards smart living by adopting energy-efficient ways at home.Whether you live alone, with flatmates, or with your family, the tips aim to assist you in being more aware of how you're consuming energy, so that you're not only saving on your energy usage, but also helping to preserve the environment.

9-Year-Old Boy Gives Up Birthday Present So He Could Buy Flowers For Christchurch Victims

The terrorist attacks in Christchurch have shocked New Zealanders and people around the world, resulting in tributes to the victims in various ways

Image via stuff.co.nz

Mourners have been laying flowers at Masjid al Noor and Linwood Masjid following the incident, prompting many around the world to do the same at their nearest mosques, reported TIME.In fact, Stuff NZ reported that the high demand for flowers had stripped florists, supermarkets, dairies, garages, and the local flower market of all available supply.

The movement has certainly struck a chord with one young birthday boy in New Zealand

On 17 March, a Facebook user by the name of 'Samuel Sen' shared a heartwarming story about his son who had just turned nine years old.

"I normally don't post but I had to today," he wrote, adding a birthday greeting for his son, Darsh."I was going to surprise him with a gift which he wanted for his birthday which was a laptop but he surprised me. I asked him today while going to buy it, I asked him 'What do you want for your birthday' [and] he said 'flowers'," Samuel related.

Amused and also confused, Samuel asked his son why he wanted to get flowers

"[B]ecause I want to take it to the mosque and pay my respects to the people who died in Christchurch," replied Darsh.

Image via Samuel Sen/Facebook

Darsh's answer had shocked Samuel into silence, "After moment of silence I asked him 'what about the laptop you wanted for so long' [and] he said 'Dadda you can donate that money to people who need it more in Christchurch, they need it more and I can use your laptop for now'."

Darsh's innocent and heartless gesture earned him over 2,700 birthday wishes from around the world

Pernah Menang Maharaja Lawak, Arwah Mr Os Masih 'Tak Malu' Jadi Pemandu Teksi. Salute!

Ketika negara sedang dilanda krisis Covid-19, ramai dalam kalangan rakan artis kini menjadi bualan hangat netizen

Image via tarbiah sentap

Ia tercetus apabila ada segelintir daripada mereka menuntut agar kerajaan memberikan bantuan khusus kepada rakan artis selepas menganggap punca pendapatan mereka terjejas ekoran Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan.Pandangan yang dilontarkan beberapa selebriti itu telah mengundang rasa kurang senang dalam kalangan netizen yang rata-ratanya berpandangan bahawa ia adalah tidak wajar dan 'mengarut'.Bahkan bukan itu sahaja, sudah menjadi stigma dalam kalangan masyarakat bahawa kehidupan sebagai seorang artis pastinya lebih senang dan mewah berbanding rakyat biasa.

Di sebalik situasi yang sedang berlaku ketika ini, tidak salah sekiranya kita mengimbau kembali kehidupan seorang pelakon veteran yang kini sudah pergi buat selama-lamanya

Image via wikipedia

Pelakon yang dimaksudkan tersebut adalah Mohd Yusof Abdul Hamid atau lebih popular dengan gelaran Mr Os. Mr Os telah meninggal dunia pada 8 April 2016 akibat sakit paru-paru. Mungkin ramai yang masih belum tahu bahawa semasa hayatnya, beliau juga adalah seorang pemandu teksi.Seperti kisah yang ditulis seorang pengguna Facebook bernama Hafizul Hakim, lelaki ini menceritakan semula kehidupan Mr Os yang boleh dijadikan pengajaran buat rakan artis dan seluruh masyarakat di luar sana.Untuk perkongsian penuh, teruskan membaca di bawah:

Menjadi pemandu teksi, arwah Mr Os dianggap sebagai seorang individu yang sangat pemurah kerana suka menderma kepada penumpangnya

Image via buzzkini

Kisah Allahyarham Os1. Kalau orang yang naik teksi dia tak cukup duit, dia tak berkira sangat, dia menderma. Contoh kalau tambang teksi RM25, dia bagi diskaun RM5.2. Bayangkan ada 20 orang naik teksinya dalam sehari. Tiap seorang tambang RM25, sebanyak RM5 daripada tambang itu dia sedekah. Dalam sehari jumlah dermanya boleh cecah RM100.Ini dikongsikan sendiri oleh pendakwah bebas Ustaz Hanafiah Abdul Malek dalam salah satu siri ceramahnya. Biarpun hidup jadi seorang pemandu teksi, Allahyarham jaga amalan sedekahnya.Allah bagi keberkatan. Berkat ni bukan tengok pada jumlah RM kita dapat, tapi keseluruhan kebaikan yang datang dalam hidup. Allahu.3. Anaknya, Dr. Syafiqah Hayra menerima Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perubatan dari Universiti Mansoura Mesir berkat susah payahnya menjadi pemandu teksi.4. Antara kata-kata yang paling ‘inspiring’ daripada Mr Os yang saya baca sebelum ini:“Sejak saya jadi pemandu teksi, dapat hantar anak belajar kedoktoran di Mesir. Berapalah sangat pendapatan jadi pemandu teksi. Tekan RM3, dapat RM3.”Tapi kalau kita redha dengan rezeki Allah beri, RM3 insha Allah jadi RM3,000. RM3,000 jadi RM300,000. Dan seterusnya berganda.5. Saya yakin anaknya dibesarkan dengan kasih sayang dan agama yang kuat. Apa kata anaknya membuatkan saya sebak.“Saya berniat pahala sepanjang berkhidmat jadi doktor ini diberikan kepada ibu dan abah saya.”

Meskipun pernah memenangi Maharaja Lawak, Mr Os bagaimanapun tetap terus menjadi pemandu teksi

Image via mario

Allahyarham Mr Os telah kembali ke rahmatullah pada 5 April 2016. Beliau seharusnya layak diletak sebaris dengan lagenda artis tanahair.Walaupun pernah menang Maharaja Lawak bersama Abon tahun 2012, dia tetap teruskan jadi pemandu teksi. Hadiah kemenangan masa itu berjumlah RM350,000.Teringat dengan pesan Allahyaram ayahanda saya ketika beliau masih hidup,“Jangan malu kalau hidup terlihat miskin. Tapi malulah ketika kita pura-pura kaya.”Semoga kisah hidup seniman Mr Os menjadi ikutan dan contoh artis-artis kita di Malaysia. Mari sama-sama kita sedekahkan pahala surah Al Fatihah kepada Allahyarham.

Diharapkan agar kisah ini dapat dijadikan iktibar buat semua masyarakat di luar sana.

Dikecam Tukar Jalur Putih Bendera Malaysia Kepada Hitam, Tan Sri Akhirnya Mohon Maaf

Sejak akhir-akhir ini, isu pelaksanaan pengajaran tulisan Jawi di sekolah jenis kebangsaan begitu hangat dibincangkan oleh orang ramai

Image via mykmu.net

Usaha Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) untuk memperkenalkan matapelajaran Tulisan Khat dan Seni Kaligrafi dalam kurikulum Tahun 4 Bahasa Malaysia mulai tahun depan telah menerima pelbagai tentangan dan kritikan dari sesetengah pihak.Sebanyak 12 pertubuhan pendidikan Cina dan Tamil menolak keputusan KPM tersebut termasuk Gabungan Persatuan Guru Sekolah Cina Malaysia (Jiao Zong) dan Persekutuan Persatuan Lembaga Pengurus Sekolah Cina Malaysia (Dong Zong).

Image via Berita Harian

Mereka menganggap pengenalan tulisan khat bagi murid di dua aliran sekolah terbabit tidak bertepatan keperluan sebenar pembelajaran Bahasa Malaysia.

Seorang ahli perniagaan bergelar Tan Sri turut mengambil kesempatan untuk membantah keputusan tersebut. Namun begitu, tindakannya dilihat melampaui batasan.

Menerusi Facebook, Tan Sri berkenaan, Lee Kim Yew memprotes dengan menukar warna jalur putih pada Jalur Gemilang kepada warna hitam. Beliau berkata warna hitam tersebut berinspirasikan warna kasut hitam yang diperkenalkan oleh KPM sebelum ini.

Image via Lee Kim Yew / Facebook

Tindakan itu bagaimanapun menerima tohmahan hebat dari warganet yang menyifatkannya sebagai biadap dan tidak menghormati bendera kebangsaan.Selepas tular di media sosial, post tersebut dipadam serta-merta.

Lee Kim Yew yang merupakan Pengerusi Country Height Holding Berhad kemudian memohon maaf atas keterlanjurannya serta berharap agar generasi muda tidak mengulangi kesilapan tersebut

Image via Lee Kim Yew / Facebook

Beliau menulis, "Saya telah membetulkan semula grafik bendera Malaysia kepada keadaan asal dan memastikannya tidak ditukar lagi. Saya ingin menasihatkan kepada generasi akan datang, berdasarkan pengalaman ini agar jangan sama sekali menukar warna, grafik atau fizikal bendera."Terima kasih semua kerana melawat laman Facebook saya dan membaca artikel saya dengan minda terbuka. Saya menghormati pandangan anda dan saya akan terus mencari diri dan menilai diri saya."

Image via Lee Kim Yew / Facebook

Tulisan penuh boleh dibaca di sini.

Hari ini, KPM memutuskan untuk meneruskan pelaksanaan tersebut seperti yang dirancang walaupun mendapat bantahan dari pelbagai pihak

Menteri Pendidikan, Maszlee Malik berkata khat itu bukanlah satu subjek tetapi hanyalah satu aktiviti yang diperkenalkan, malah guru juga diberikan kuasa untuk membuat keputusan mengenai kaedah pelaksanaannya di bilik darjah masing-masing.

Bila Musim Hari Raya, 'Confirm' Akan Dapat 9 Soalan Cepumas Ni. Alamak Susahnya Nak Jawab!

Pejam celik, dah nak tiba Hari Raya! Rasa macam semalam baru mula berpuasa.

Image via Giphy

Mesti ramai yang dah siap dengan persiapan Hari Raya nanti bukan? Contohnya, beli baju raya, minta cuti, beli tiket bas atau servis kereta nak balik kampung dan sebagainya. Tapi, dalam banyak-banyak persiapan, bagaimana pula dengan persiapan untuk berdepan soalan-soalan ‘berani mati’ dari saudara-mara waktu raya nanti? Haaa, terkedu? Kalau silap jawab, masaklah.Jangan risau, kami akan kongsikan soalan-soalan cepumas jadi bolehlah anda semua sediakan jawapan yang tepat, bernas dan padat. Bagi orang yang tanya terkedu pula. Baru dia tahu.

1. SPM dapat berapa 'A'? Dah fikir nak sambung belajar di mana dan ambil kursus apa?

Image via Gifer

Bagi sesetengah orang, kita tak suka dedahkan keputusan peperiksaan. Tak kisahlah cemerlang ke gagal ke. Kalau ada juga yang tanya, jawab je “Alhamdulillah, cukup-cukup makan.”

2. Semester ke berapa dah? Bila nak habis?

Image via Giphy

Makcik-makcik selalunya datang beraya setahun sekali, belajar pun 3-4 tahun. Bukan sebulan dua! Nanti tahun kelima datang beraya InsyaAllah dah boleh jawab “Alhamdulillah, baru habis belajar.”

3. Dah habis belajar, bila nak kerja?

Image via Giphy

Bila dah habis belajar, soalan ‘berani mati’ tu takkan terhenti di situ saja. Mesti mereka tanya “bila nak kerja?” pula. Yelah, kami faham anda tengah cari kerja tapi kalau mereka tanya tu dengan niat nak bagi kerja tak apa juga bukan?

4. Nak cuba minta kerja sektor kerajaan tak? Banyak manfaat akan dapat di hari tua nanti.

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Perda

Pilihan sama ada kerja swasta atau kerajaan adalah pilihan sendiri sebenarnya. Bagi anak muda, mestilah nak merasa gaji besar bila mula kerja bukan? Tak dinafikan ada juga yang memilih kerja kerajaan sebab memikirkan manfaat pada hari tua. Apa-apa pun, buatlah pilihan yang bijak. Asalkan ada kerja.

5. Kerja okay tak? Bonus dah masuk tahun ni?

Image via Giphy

Tanya-tanya ni nak minta belanja makan tak pun duit raya ke? Sibuk pula nak tahu dapat bonus atau tidak. Gaji berapa sebulan pun tak suka cerita pada sesiapa, apatah lagi bonus tahunan. Memang idok ler!

6. Umur dah makin meningkat, dah nak masuk 30s! Kahwinnya bila?

Image via Giphy

Sebelum mereka tanya soalan macam ini, mereka akan tanya dulu “Dah ada boyfriend/girlfriend ke?”. Kalau anda jawab ada, mesti mereka nak korek-korek rahsia lagi. Kalau jawab tak ada, soalan itu mungkin akan terhenti di situ saja atau akan dibahan sebab umur makin meningkat tapi belum ada perancangan nak kahwin. Pulak dah!

7. Tahniah, akhirnya kahwin juga! Eh, bila pula nak ada anak?

Image via Giphy

Kalau baru kahwin sebulan dua, agak kurang logiklah soalan tu ditujukan bukan? Mesti ada di antara pasangan yang nak enjoy duduk berdua dengan pasangan sebelum ada cahaya mata. Kalau dah lama kahwin, soalan itu sedikit sebanyak akan menyentuh hati sebab mungkin anda sudah banyak kali mencuba tapi Tuhan belum bagi rezeki. Percayalah, bila anda sudah dikurniakan seorang anak, mesti ada saudara-mara yang sibuk tanya “Taknak tambah lagi sorang ke?”. Geleng kepala dibuatnya!

8. "Kenapa kurus sangat? Sakit ke?"

Image via Tenor

Kadang-kadang, kita tak tahu apa masalah saudara-mara kita ni. Bila kurus sangat kata sakit. Bila berisi pun dikata makin gemuk, makan banyaklah, dikata leher hilanglah. Jumpa pun setahun sekali, bukannya nampak perubahan sepanjang tahun pun bukan?

9. "Kenapa belum kerja lagi? Tak kesian kat Mak Ayah ke?"

Image via Giphy

AWAS!Kami bagi amaran awal-awal. Soalan ini boleh membawa anda ke arah kebaikan atau sebaliknya. Kalau faham, biasanya soalan ni orang-orang yang join Multi Level Marketing( MLM) sahaja akan tanya. Kalau anda ada kenal rapat saudara-mara anda dan dia pun dah bekerja lama di syarikat tu, tak salah nak rebut peluang. Kalau tak, sampai bila nak duduk menganggur bukan?

Walau banyak mana soalan yang dilemparkan, banyakkan bersabar dan senyum ajelah. Apa boleh buat...

Image via Giphy

Nak marah balik sebab soalan-soalan tu pun tak guna, mereka semua saudara-mara kita. Senyum ajelah dan pamerkan senyuman paling menawan dan dengan bantuan Colgate Optic White ketika musim perayaan Aidilfitri kali ini.

Image via Colgate

Selepas penggunaan selama seminggu, Colgate Optic White berupaya memutihkan gigi anda dengan menanggalkan kesan kotoran ekstrinsik.Jom dapatkan rangkaian produk Colgate Optic White di kedai-kedai berhampiran untuk gigi lebih putih raya ini. Pamerkan senyuman menawan dengan gigi putih berseri, baru saudara-mara terdiam.Selamat Hari Raya!*Apabila anda menggunakan seperti yang diarahkan. Untuk kesan kotoran ekstrinsik sahaja. Kesan mungkin berbeza mengikut individu.*

Authorities Raid A Halal Subang Restaurant Over Allegations Of Pork In Curry Noodles

A famous halal restaurant in Subang Jaya has been raided by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) over allegations that the curry noodle sold at the premises contained pork

According to Selangor KPDNHEP director Muhamad Zikril Azan Abdullah, five enforcement officers inspected and seized items in the form of chicken at the famous restaurant in Subang Jaya over the week.The raid came after a viral video alleged that the curry noodle sold at the premises contained pork.In the inspection, the enforcement officers found the restaurant has a halal certificate from the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM) which is valid until 30 November this year.

The restaurant employs three Myanmar nationals as cooks

During the inspection of the kitchen section, enforcement officers found raw ingredients that were used to prepare the curry noodles. The main raw material, believed to be chicken meat, was seized for laboratory testing by experts, according to the Selangor KPDNHEP director."When asked by enforcement officers, the restaurant manager denied that the meat involved was pork and claimed that it was marinated chicken with barbecue seasoning. According to the manager, the supply of raw materials was ordered by the restaurant company's headquarters," he said in a statement.The authorities also seized a JAKIM halal certificate and the supplier's raw material delivery documents for investigation under the Trade Descriptions (Definition of Halal) Order 2011.Bernama reported that Selangor KPDNHEP would continue to ensure JAKIM halal certificate holders comply with the rules as well as emphasising on cleanliness to safeguard Muslim consumers in the country.

Meanwhile, JAKIM has confirmed that the restaurant is a valid holder of its halal certification and the allegations about pork are not true

Prison Officer Slammed For Thinking It's 'Funny' To Post About Inmate Washing His Car

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

Netizens were angered after finding a Facebook post by a prison officer who allegedly made an inmate wash his car

According to Utusan Malaysia, the social media post gave the impression that the Malaysian Prisons Department officer ordered a prisoner around for personal benefit."If prisoners can wash your car, why do it yourself?" read the caption of the Facebook photo with a laughing emoji.

A screenshot of the prison officer's Facebook post.

The Facebook post drew severe criticism, with many condemning the officer for allegedly abusing his authority and also for his condescending language

A viral repost of the photo on Twitter said, "Sometimes, I don't understand civil servants. Their language. Hmm. It's sad to see them wearing smart clothes, but brain not so [smart]."

Image via Utusan Malaysia

Meanwhile, on Facebook, a user commented, "If you are going to ask for an inmate's help, sure. But don't be stupid and upload it to social media with arrogant words.""People nowadays can't keep their stupidity to themselves, they want to post everything online and invite criticism."

Image via The Rakyat Post

Although the Malaysian Prison Department has since clarified the issue, netizens were still unhappy that the government department failed to address the officer's behaviour

According to a Facebook statement published on Sunday, 12 December, the department said the inmate was photographed washing a car as he is part of a rehabilitation programme called 'Banduan Kerja Luar Penjara' (Inmates Working Out Of Prison)."The programme involves inmates who have passed certain physical and mental tests before they are allowed to participate and are monitored by prison officers," read the statement."The inmates are paid for the work that they do."

However, Facebook users continued to criticise: "That is not the issue. The issue is [his language].""Re-examine the words used by the wardens on their social media accounts," a netizen suggested.

Another said, "The issue now is that officers should never be allowed to take photos of the prison residents and put them on social media as long as they are in prison clothes.""Disciplinary action should be taken against officers like these. And also, the officer's caption should not have been written as such, as if only to insult."
