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

The Light Rail Transit (LRT) train following the Kelana-Jaya route halted once again yesterday, 21 September, making passengers wait for approximately one hour

A Twitter user, @ordinaryboyadam, who was present on the day of the incident reported that the LRT trains stopped operating at 5.56pm and crowds soon built up at the platforms to wait for the trains to resume operations.He questioned Rapid KL as to how they could allow this to happen during peak hours. He also said that the public pay for these services and therefore should not be experiencing issues like this in the first place.

Again , @MyRapidKL @AskRapidKL are guys stupid ? During peak hours you are letting this crowded space to happen ? Its been 10 minutes and there is no trains on both platforms. This is at KLCC station Kelana Jaya line 5:56 pm . Please , we pay for this service it’s not free . pic.twitter.com/EzX1ZM7hxV— adam (@ordinaryboyadam) September 21, 2022

At 6.16pm, Rapid KL took to their Twitter to announce that the LRT trains were being streamlined and assured commuters that it will be up and running shortly. The company apologised to passengers for the inconvenience caused and asked for LRT commuters to be patient while they resolved the issue.

Kemaskini Laluan Kelana Jaya: Perkhidmatan tren sedang diselaraskan dan jadual perjalanan akan kembali normal sebentar lagi. Kami memohon maaf atas kesulitan. Terima kasih atas kesabaran anda— Ask Rapid KL (@AskRapidKL) September 21, 2022

Like Adam, other passengers also expressed their frustrations on Twitter while waiting for the trains to resume operations

Numerous LRT commuters from different stations along the Kelana-Jaya route began to report the large waiting intervals, which ranged from nine to 14 minutes, they experienced when Rapid KL made the announcement about the delay.Many were unhappy to be waiting such long periods of time especially during peak hours.

This has been the third time the Kelana-Jaya LRT line has reportedly been experiencing issues, affecting the schedules of many LRT commuters

According to The Vibes, LRT trains experienced some issues on 1 September near the Universiti LRT station heading towards Putra Heights, which forced commuters to exit the train carriages and journey by foot to the nearest station's platform.The second mishap occurred on 10 September when Rapid KL reported technical issues at the KL Sentral station and many commuters were delayed in their journey due to lengthy waiting periods and slow travel on the train.

Unfortunately, this happened to Michelle Yu as she shared her experience on Facebook. The Sabahan recalled chasing the driver after the car cut her line.

"This Aunty dented my car when we were turning because she cut my line. So I honked and chased her." - Michelle Yu

The driver who knocked her car turned out to be an elderly woman, who pleaded for forgiveness because she had no money to pay for the damages. She went on to explain that her children were not around to take care of her.

Image via Michelle Yu via Facebook

"She talked with her eyes tearing and asked me to forgive her. She said she does not have any money to pay me. Besides that, her kids are not around to take care of her. The elderly lady then told me her story with tears and said she doesn't feel like talking anymore, because the more she talks, the more tears she sheds and it pains her heart." - Michelle Yu

Michelle pitied the aunty after hearing her story and brought her to see the doctor to check for any injuries caused by the accident

"I pitied her and didn't have the heart to ask her for money. Instead, I told her that she doesn't have to pay me and brought her to see the doctor to see if there are any injuries". - Michelle Yu

She also promised the elderly lady that she'll bring her out when she was free. "She kept on apologising which breaks my heart when I knew she was approaching the age of 82 alone."

Image via Michelle Yu via Facebook

"I asked her to give me her phone number and I told her that I'll look for her to bring her out to eat when I'm free. Finally she smiled and felt really thankful. She kept on apologising which breaks my heart when I knew she's approaching 82-years old alone. If there's a lesson to be learnt today, don't forget and abandon your parents when they are old. Please spend some time with them. Aunty, I will take care of you more often and will bring you out when I'm free okay. Don't worry aunty, I won't ask u to pay me money, I'll pay it by myself." - Michelle Yu

Michelle then went one step further by inviting the elderly lady over for dinner together with her family. She also gave her some money so she could buy something nice to eat.

I gave her some money hoping that she could buy something nice to eat." - Michelle Yu

She also gave the aunty some food supplements

Wuhan Couple Who Removed Their Child From Quarantine Were Detained At The Johor Airport

On Friday, parents of a two-year-old removed the child from quarantine at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA) in Johor. The toddler is suspected to have been infected with the Novel Coronavirus.
They were attempting to return to Wuhan, the outbreak's epicentre.

According to a report in Malaysiakini, the parents took their child, whose gender has not yet been specified by the authorities, to the Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA) in Johor at about 10pm Friday, 24 January.A doctor at HSA checked the toddler and confirmed that the toddler had viral fever and was suspected to be a victim of the Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV). However, when the doctor asked the parents to admit their child to be quarantined for further investigation, the parents refused.They allegedly told the doctors that they had a flight to China scheduled for last night, 25 January. The parents then left the hospital with their sick toddler, reported Malaysiakini.New Straits Times reported that the Chinese couple from Wuhan were desperately attempting to book a flight to their hometown last night at the Senai International Airport in Johor.

All three of them have now been detained after authorities at the airport spotted them boarding a flight to Guangzhou, China last night

Johor police chief Kamarudin Md Din said that the toddler and the parents have since been handed over to the state health authority for further action and treatment."Yes, police have detained them at the Senai Airport about 9.20pm last night. They have bought tickets to Guangzhou to return to China. We have handed them over to the hospital," he was quoted as saying

They are now at the isolation ward of the HSA

The quick action was prompted by the doctor at the HSA who had lodged a police report against the parents after they refused the directive for their toddler to be quarantined.

So far, Malaysia has recorded four positive cases of the Wuhan virus in the country. All four infected victims are tourists from Wuhan:

Here Are The 4 Main Investigators In The New 1MDB Special Task Force

There is a new special task force that will look into the controversial state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB)

Image via TIME

According to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office yesterday, 21 May, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has agreed to form a special investigation team to thoroughly probe into 1MDB, which was first set up by former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in 2009.The task force will be responsible for carrying out detailed investigations, identifying and seizing assets acquired using funds allegedly siphoned from 1MDB, as well as prosecution against individuals who've committed any criminal offence in the management of 1MDB, among others."The government hopes the formation of the special task force involving various enforcement agencies will be able to restore the dignity of the country which has been tainted, and return the Malaysian people’s money and assets following the kleptocracy scandal resulting from mismanagement and misappropriation of 1MDB funds," the statement added, as reported by theSun.

The special task force is co-headed by four individuals who had played significant roles in investigations related to 1MDB before they were either transferred or resigned.
Here's a look on how they've been involved with the 1MDB investigations in the past:

1. Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, former Attorney-General (A-G)

Image via Azneal Ishak/Malay Mail

Abdul Gani served as the A-G for 13 years from January 2002 until his tenure as the Attorney-General was abruptly terminated in July 2015 due to health reasons although there were allegations that his services were terminated due to other reasons.Abdul Gani, who was heading the now-disbanded special task force investigating 1MDB, was replaced by former Federal Court judge Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali. Apandi subsequently cleared Najib of any wrongdoings in receiving huge funds into his accounts in January 2016.Following the termination as A-G, Abdul Gani, who began his career as a deputy public prosecutor in Kota Kinabalu in 1980, continued to serve as Judicial and Legal Service Officer until his retirement in October 2015.

2. Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed, former Malaysian-Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner

Image via Berita Harian

Like Abdul Gani, Abu Kassim was one of the members of the previous task force that conducted investigations into 1MDB. He had worked with the MACC (also known as Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) previously) since 1984 and held various positions in the MACC before he was eventually appointed MACC commissioner in January  2010.Abu Kassim assumed the post until he was replaced in August 2016 by Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad, who recently vacated the post after he tendered his resignation. Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Dr Ali Hamsa announced then that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had consented to the application by Abu Kassim, who had for served MACC for about 32 years at that time, to end his service and be transferred to Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) to contribute as a researcher and consultant.

3. Datuk Seri Mohd Shukri Abdull, newly appointed MACC Chief Commissioner

Image via NST Online

Following Dzulkifli's resignation, Mohd Shukri was named as the new MACC chief by Mahathir on 17 May.Mohd Shukri first joined ACA in 1984 as investigations officer and held various positions until he was appointed as MACC deputy chief commissioner (operations) in 2010.Mohd Shukri held the position until he went into retirement in 2016. He was with the anti-graft body for 32 years.When Shukri was the deputy chief of the MACC, he spearheaded the investigation into SRC International, a former subsidiary of the 1MDB fund that had been placed under the Ministry of Finance in 2012.

4. Datuk Abdul Hamid Bador, former Bukit Aman Special Branch deputy director

Image via Asyraf Hamzah/Berita Harian

Abdul Hamid had served with the police force for 37 years before he was transferred out in August 2015.He was transferred to the Prime Minister’s Department and was appointed as the deputy director on Security Issues and Transnational Crime one month after Abdul Gani's service as A-G was terminated.He previously alleged that his unexpected transfer might have something to do with his insistence that the 1MDB issue should be fully investigated.The then Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar reportedly said that Abdul Hamid was informed of the transfer after the latter withdrew his application for early retirement.


Polling Day Dress Code? Not Really, But Here Are Some Safe Practices

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

PSA: There's no specific dress code for polling day

The only official restriction that exists is that voters are not allowed to wear any form of attire that bears the candidate's name, symbols, or names of political parties within the 50m zone of the polling station.That's it. There is no other publicly known restriction on the type of clothing/attire.

Image via SPR

However...

Officers stationed at polling stations can deny entry if you wear what they deem to be "inappropriate".Now, what's "inappropriate" is up for debate.During the 14th General Election (GE14), despite the Election Commission's (EC) assurance that voters do not have to dress according to government office attire at polling stations, many were denied entry.Some of the voters who were turned away from polling stations in Penang and Selangor in 2018 were wearing shorts, while others were wearing skirts, slippers, singlets, etc.At the same time, others wearing shorts or slippers faced no challenges from EC officers.

#GE14 Polling Day | Selangor voters allegedly barred from polling stations due to 'improper attire'https://t.co/BxqSqUNBYj pic.twitter.com/RkvttyP00f— malaysiakini.com (@malaysiakini) May 9, 2018

So, how then?

As you can guess, while there is no official dress code for polling day, it's up to the officers.To be safe, avoid wearing anything blue or red, as this could be interpreted as your support for one of the coalitions, either Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional for blue or Pakatan Harapan for red.Additionally, avoid wearing a T-shirt/hoodie with a symbol/logo on it, for example, a tiger or a broom. It would be safe to avoid wearing a T-shirt that supports a  band or has a band's name/symbol on it.Since you will probably be lining up for at least an hour, if not more, go for what's comfortable. Just make sure it's decent, neutral, and doesn't offend anyone's sensitivities.And definitely do not wear anything too revealing. If in doubt, follow the KISS principle:

Pernah Tak Anda Tersalah Tarik Pintu Yang Sepatutnya Anda Tolak? Inilah Sebabnya

Kami percaya mesti perkara ini pernah berlaku kepada anda bukan? Sebenarnya, ia bukan salah anda tetapi salah pintu itu sendiri.

Image via giphy.com

Adakah anda selalu keliru apabila menolak pintu yang sepatutnya ditarik? Dan sebaliknya?

Kebanyakan pintu meletakkan tanda tarik ataupun tolak untuk memudahkan pengguna. Tetapi masih ada banyak pintu yang direka tanpa meletakkan apa-apa tanda. Ini membuatkan ramai orang keliru dan melakukan perkara yang bertentangan untuk membuka pintu itu. Ia sungguh mengelirukan dan juga memalukan di mana anda akan menyalahkan diri anda.Seorang wartawan media dari Vox,  Joe Posner memberitahu di mana beliau sering perasan bahawa ramai dari rakan sekerjanya yang sering tertipu dengan sebuah pintu di dalam bangunan tempat kerja mereka. Beliau kemudiannya menyiasat mengapa perkara tersebut berlaku dan akhirnya beliau menjumpai seorang jurutera, Don Norman, yang menjelaskan perkara berkenaan.

Menurut Don Norman, beliau menjelaskan bahawa pintu yang direka sebegini dikenali sebagai Pintu Norman

Image via GIPHY

Pintu ini dikenali sebagai pintu Norman yang merupakan sejenis pintu di mana reka bentuk ini memberitahu anda untuk melakukan perkara yang bertentangan dengan apa yang anda sebenarnya patut lakukan.Menurut temuduga Joe bersama Don Norman, beliau menjelaskan bahawa pintu Norman ini biasanya digunakan oleh arkitek.Menurut beliau lagi, pintu sepatutnya direka mengikut kesesuaian dan memberi kemudahan bagi pengguna dan bukan sebaliknya.

Tanpa tanda tolak atau tarik di pintu, pengguna perlu meneka sama ada untuk menarik atau menolak pintu tersebut.

Melalui temuduga itu, Don juga menjelaskan tiada sebab untuk reka bentuk ini masih digunakan kerana terdapat pelbagai penyelesaian yang dapat diambil untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini. Namun pintu ini masih lagi dapat dilihat berada di mana sahaja sehingga ke hari ini.Tanpa tanda tolak ataupun tarik diletakkan di pintu, ia akan memakan masa pengguna untuk membuka pintu tersebut. Oleh itu, Don berpendapat bahawa arkitek perlu menitikberatkan tentang rekaan pintu yang digunakan oleh mereka. Jika mereka menggunakan istilah pintu Norman, tanda tolak atau tarik perlulah diletakkan di pintu itu.

Reka bentuk pintu yang sering menggelirukan pengguna.

Robber Makes Headlines Not Just For Stealing Money But For Stealing Hearts

A robber in Brazil recently made headlines not just for stealing money, but for stealing hearts

On 15 October, two armed robbers were captured on CCTV barging into a pharmacy in Piauí, Brazil and demanding money.Security footage posted by About Everything has since racked up over 784,000 views.

In the video, one of the customers - an elderly woman - offered her money to the robber.
However, he refused it and even went as far as planting a kiss on her forehead.

The video captured their exchange while his partner stole money from the cash register."No, ma'am, you can be quiet. I don't want your money," he told her, according to the pharmacy owner Samuel Almeida.

The suspects reportedly took BRL240 (RM1,004) in cash

Local authorities are currently searching for both criminals, who had worn helmets during the robbery.

After the video went viral, several people have related the suspects to certain famous characters

FamilyMart Is Now Selling Belgian Dark Chocolate Soft Serve And Milkshake

FamilyMart may be done with its Mediterannean sea salt soft serve flavour, but it has shown no signs of slowing down.
Behold, the Belgian Dark Chocolate sofuto!

Image via SAYS Makan

The new flavour, which was released in FamilyMart outlets today, 28 August, already has people lining up like crazy (we saw for ourselves lah okay). :D

Image via FamilyMart/Facebook

You can enjoy the ice cream with a regular or chocolate cone.
If you're a massive chocolate lover, I'd recommend getting the chocolate cone for that added 'umph'.

Image via SAYS Makan

For RM3.90, you can get the soft serve at all FamilyMart outlets, except for MRT TTDI

Outlets at klia2 and Resort World Genting are selling the ice cream for RM4.90.

Image via Hype

Overall, the taste is rich for its price, considering that most ice cream parlours tend to sell Belgian dark chocolate soft serve for double or triple the cost.Although it is about RM1 pricier than FamilyMart's previous sofutos, this is a good mid-range ice cream for the dark chocolate flavour.

In addition, FamilyMart also upgraded its sofuto by introducing milkshakes!

A Poslaju Employee, His Pregnant Wife, And A House Owner Who Gave Them A Sweet Surprise

On Tuesday, 18 August, a tweet with photos of a parcel went viral. The parcel had a handwritten note with a very special request.

"Hello, house owner, this is Poslaju. Can I have some mangoes? I can come tomorrow to collect, my wife is pregnant," read the handwritten note in Bahasa Melayu.The tweet has since been retweeted over 5,500 times and has made hundreds of people soft.

SAYS reached out to the person who tweeted the note and they asked us to hide their name.

The note with the special request was left for the owner of a house in Taman Kinrara, Puchong by a Poslaju employee, Mohammad Zuhelmy Ibrahim, who was trying his luck to fulfil his pregnant wife's wish

Zuhelmy's wife, Afrah Wan Sulaiman, who is seven months pregnant with their first child, had expressed her desire to taste fresh mangoes after seeing a mango tree bearing fruit somewhere in Puchong earlier.Afrah, however, told him that she did not want store-bought mangoes and she only wanted the ones that have been freshly plucked from a tree. Zuhelmy promised that he will try to fulfil her wish.According to the Poslaju employee, he remembered seeing a mango tree in the house of one of the customers as he always delivered packages to the house in Taman Kinrara, Puchong."However, the owner of the house was usually not at home when I delivered their packages, so that day, I decided to leave a note on the package and left it on the shoe rack before leaving," Zuhelmy said.

Next day, when the postman returned, he saw that the kind-hearted house owner had left him a note along with a bag full of mangoes

"Abang Poslaju, I have plucked the mangoes that you wanted. It's on the shoe rack where you placed the parcel the other day. Thank you," read the house owner's note.Inside the plastic bag, Zulhelmy noticed there were half a dozen mangoes."When I delivered a package to the house the next day, I saw a note next to the mailbox that there was a bag of mangoes for me," he said, adding that he is grateful to them for willing to fulfil his wife's wish.

Meanwhile, the sweet surprise has made Afrah very happy

"I am very happy to be able to eat the freshly plucked fruit... I am also very grateful to the kind owner of the house for giving us the mangoes," she said."It is rare to meet someone with a noble heart like them as a family. May the family be blessed with an abundance of sustenance," added Afrah, who is expected to give birth to her baby in November.

Indonesia Was Hit With 5 Bombings Within A Day. Here's All You Need To Know

Indonesia's second largest city, Surabaya has been hit by five terror attacks within 24 hours

Image via CNN

Three churches, a low-cost apartment, and the city's police headquarters were attacked by suicide bombers on separate occasions. The bombings happened within hours of each other.To date, the police have alleged that three families were behind the attacks.

Here's what we know so far about all five attacks:

1. A family of six attacked three churches in Surabaya on Sunday morning, 13 May

CNN reported that Dita Sopriyanto, a man identified as the father, first drove a van to the Indonesian Christian Church to drop off his wife Puji Kuswat and their daughters, aged nine and 12.According to Asian Correspondent, they then walked into the courtyard of the church and detonated bombs strapped to their bodies.After that, Dita drove the bomb-laden van to the Surabaya Centre Pentecostal Church and detonated the explosives there.The couple's teenage sons, aged 16 and 18, rode motorcycles into the Santa Maria Catholic Church and set off the explosives on them.

The Nation reported the East Java Police as saying that a premature explosion took place at the Wonocolo low-cost apartment in Taman Sidoarjo.One of the suspects, Anton Febrianto was seen holding a bomb trigger when officers arrived at the scene. He was then gunned down by police officers.His wife, Puspitasari, and their eldest son were killed by the premature explosion.The couple's second child took his two younger siblings to the hospital.Anton and Puspitasari used to make a living by selling cakes.

3. Earlier today, 14 May, motorcyclists were seen driving up to the Surabaya police headquarters before they detonated explosives at the security checkpoint

BBC reported that the attack was carried out by a family of five riding on both motorcycles.Four attackers on the motorcycles died, while four police officers and six civilians were injured in the attack.An eight-year-old girl, who was wedged between her parents on one of the motorcycles when the attack happened, was thrown clear and survived.

Asian Correspondent reported Indonesia's President Joko Widodo as pledging that a new anti-terrorism bill will be pushed through following the five attacks

"This is the act of cowards, in-dignified and barbaric," he was quoted as saying by Asian Correspondent.Widodo will be issuing a regulation in place of a law by next month to force through the anti-terrorism bill if the Indonesian parliament fails to pass it.According to BBC, Indonesian officials said that police will be increasing security across the country, with the support of military forces."There will be no compromise in taking action on the ground to stop terrorism," Widodo added.

In Malaysia's efforts to combat terrorism, the Ministry of Education previously planned to incorporate anti-terrorism teachings into the system:

Malaysia believes education has the power to curb the dangerous growth and influence of terrorism.

[PHOTOS] Is That A Honda Accord? No, Look Again, It's The New Proton Perdana

The New Proton "Accordana" Spotted On The SKVE Highway

We have here a set of pics featuring the new Proton Perdana on a trailer, courtesy of reader Oon HL. Travelling on the SKVE near Serdang Hospital heading north, the trailer was ferrying two units of the ‘Accordana’ and a Suprima S on the top deck.

        paultan.org

Wheels aside, the Perdana features minor design differences at the front and rear ends compared to the donor car. Inside, the only visible change is a Proton badge on the steering wheel.

        paultan.org

Here, we see two variants of the Perdana – a 2.0L model and a 2.4L version – identifiable by the wheels the cars are wearing. The unit at the back of the truck is the 2.0L, with smaller rims that are also less sporty in design. These wheels haven’t been seen before on both Proton and Honda models.

Putrajaya welcomed the government's new official car - the new-look Proton Perdana

Image via paultan.org

Proton today delivered its new Perdana model, specially built for government use, to the Prime Minister at his office in Putrajaya. The delivery was made by the Executive Chairman of Proton, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Haji Mohd Khamil Jamil, and is the first of 3,000 units that the carmaker will build.

Changes on the front include a new Proton grille and a completely new bumper design. The car also gets a new alloy wheel design. On the rear, we see that the tail lamp elements on the boot lid have been removed, but the chrome that used to run along it at the bottom remains there. This chrome is extended around the sides and bottom of the number plate area.

        paultan.org

And it also looks like the previous generation Honda Accord

The new Proton Perdana is based on the previous generation Honda Accord. And like the Accord, the new Proton Perdana is available with either a 2.0 litre and 2.4 litre engine, both sourced from Honda.

        paultan.org

The new Perdana is adapted from the Honda Accord (in the same way that the Proton Inspira was adapted from the Mitsubishi Lancer). That Proton chose this approach to provide a new Perdana for the government fleet is said to be due to the short time that was available to come up with a replacement model.

        motortrader.com.my

“The Proton Perdana delivered today is part of a development program undertaken by Proton with its collaborative partner, Honda Japan Ltd. This is the first phase of the program between Proton and renowned Honda of Japan, pursuant to the Collaborative Agreement entered between the two parties late last year,” he said.

Proton was given 8 months to replace the government's previous ageing Proton Perdana, with 3,000 units of the new updated version

Image via paultan.org

“This is a short-term solution to replace the aging Perdana currently being used by the Government officials, and Proton was given just 8 months to do this. But even with such short request time, we were up for the challenge – and through sheer dedication and hard work, we are here today to present the completed Perdana,” said Tan Sri Mohd Khamil Jamil.

        motortrader.com.my

Previous reports have indicated that this will be the first phase of the Perdana replacement model project, which will consist of 3,000 units for government use. The initial delivery is 200 units, with the remaining to be delivered on a staggered basis

Proton's Executive Chairman says they are truly grateful to the Prime Minister for giving them the opportunity to be the provider of the official government vehicle

According to Tan Sri Mohd Khamil Jamil, the day’s event signifies a very important milestone for Proton after being given the mandate by the Government to produce a new Perdana for the Malaysian Government.

        motortrader.com.my

“We are truly grateful to the Prime Minister and the Malaysian Government for keeping their faith in Proton, and for giving us the opportunity to once again be the provider of the official Government vehicle. I represent all Warga PROTON when I say that this moment serves as inspiration and motivation for us to work even harder than ever, to continue leading the national automotive industry,” he added.

This M'sian VFX Artist Turns KL Into 'Last Of Us' World With A Zombie Lurking Around

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

We are familiar with Hollywood movies and games with zombies swarming their cities.
But have we ever seen our capital city, Kuala Lumpur, abandoned, with only zombies lurking around looking for brains?

Image via tenor

Well, this Malaysian visual effects (VFX) artist shows us exactly how KL would look like after we forsook the zombie-infected city

Created by Azhar Zakeriah and posted on his TikTok account @harzachvfx this week, the 16-second video shows the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) and Bukit Bintang in the post-apocalyptic world."The Last Of Us, Kuala Lumpur. Chapter One," read the text appearing at the beginning of the video. Our Petronas Twin Tower is seen covered with wild plants and the road leading to the mall is cordoned off with concrete barriers. The area in front of Pavilion KL is also teeming with greenery, and the walls of the buildings are defaced by rain stains. A zombie can be seen loitering in delirium behind a bush.

Image via @harzachvfx (TikTok)

Image via @harzachvfx (TikTok)

At the time of writing, the spine-chilling video has garnered over 1.9 million views and 140,000 likes

Many netizens were impressed by Azhar's VFX work and had immersed themselves momentarily in the post-apocalyptic world."I don't know why I love an environment like this. I want to enter a world like this," wrote a TikTok user."I thought it was real. I swear it's so epic!" exclaimed a person, while another added, "I wish I was here fighting all the zombies."

Image via TikTok

Speaking to SAYS, Azhar said he is a full-time VFX artist and 3D animator who has worked on documentaries, telemovies, films, and more

When asked how long he took to edit the video, the 42-year-old said he spent four days to edit each of the three shots."I primarily use Adobe After Effects for visual effects. I utilise the content-aware tool to remove people from the footage, and for difficult shots, I will motion track and remove them using Photoshop then export them back to After Effects," said the VFX expert."And for 3D compositions, such as zombies, grass, trees, and the ground, I use Blender 3D software, Unreal Engine, and Quixel Megascan."Azhar has over 12 years of experience in creating visual effects. His previous works include TV3's Ular Emas, Hantu Air, RMT's Pelamin Di Pusara, and Astro's MaaVeeran, among others."I'm thrilled that my TikTok video of KL with zombies lurking around went viral. It's exciting to see people enjoy my work and it motivates me to keep creating," he rejoiced.

How Malaysians Raised RM300,000 So That RTM Could Air World Cup Matches Live In 1982

Some Malaysians have questioned the Government's decision to air the World Cup live for free on national television this year as the nation is going through serious debt issues

Image via thefalse9

It was reported that the cost to air 41 of the 64 World Cup 2018 matches from Russia over Radio Television Malaysia (RTM1) amounts to RM30 million. It was initially reported to cost RM40 million.Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo said that the government has already managed to secure RM15 million in sponsorship and will be working towards securing even more to cover the cost.Even though many welcomed the move, saying that even those in rural areas can now experience the football excitement, some have also criticised the decision and said that it is a waste of money.

While the Government is footing the bill for World Cup telecasts this time around, Malaysians in 1982 actually came together in a rousing crowdfunding exercise so that everyone could watch the matches

Back then, RTM was unable to fork out the cost in order to screen the World Cup live, but one man's suggestion turned things around.According to a report by New Straits Times, Malay Mail reader Peter Teo - who went by a pseudonym Soccer Fanatic - called in to the media's hotline to propose a simple solution to RTM's financial conundrum on 14 June 1982.He suggested that since lack of funds was the main reason RTM was unable to telecast many of the World Cup matches live, it would be good if the television station allowed the public to sponsor their personal money to help as well.

Peter was confident that Malaysian football fans would not have minded contributing a ringgit each to help pay for the telecasts

"After all, there must be millions of soccer fans in the country," he said in an interview with Malay Mail later.

Little did he know, that his simple request would go on to spark a "revolution"

60-year-old Chan, who is also an ardent football fan recalled that, "The then Hotline reporter, Noraini Shariff, who took Peter's call, filed a report that was published the next day under the heading 'How about This?'."He said that Peter had expressed the frustrations of Malaysian football fans who were hungry for more live telecasts of the World Cup.Back then, RTM's live telecasts were only limited to the opening match, two semi-finals, and the final."As a fan, it was frustrating to have to rely only on the radio or the newspapers for news on the World Cup," said Chan, who was then Malay Mail's entertainment and assistant news editor and had been closely following the World Cup since 1974.

Image via forza27

One thing led to the another, and Chan soon found himself meeting the information minister (Datuk Seri) Mohd Adib Adam to ask if he was open to Peter's suggestion

He approached him as he was heading to his car after a meeting and asked him what he thought of the idea.The minister said, "Yes, RTM will accept public contributions for more live telecasts but some organisations must volunteer to collect the funds".

"The minister's response was front-paged in The Malay Mail the following day. By then, calls had come in from the public in support of Peter's exciting proposal," Chan said.

Image via New Straits Times

With approval from the editors, the People's Live Telecast Fund (PLTF) was launched on 19 June.Just hours after the news published, football fans came not only to The Malay Mail office in Balai Berita, Bangsar, but also to New Straits Times (NST) branch offices nationwide with their donations (Malay Mail was once a part of NST).PLTF's goal was to raise RM60,000 to pay for one live telecast."But any doubts about the viability of the fund were erased as dozens, hundreds, and then thousands came to Balai Berita and our branch offices to contribute. Young and old, male and female, people of all races and professions turned up."Chan said that even children donated to the fund - one of them was six-year-old Jason Lim Soo Boon, who turned up with his piggy bank and donated his savings of RM12.80!

Donations kept pouring in all day as celebrities and even Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad contributed to the fund!

Image via New Straits Times

"By the end of each day, the money collected was sent to our accounts department. I had also filed the daily reports and the names of every donor, and the amount donated was published in the next day's papers," said Chan."The PLTF collection trebled to RM730 on Sunday (20 June), jumped to RM5,000 on Monday, quadrupled to RM20,000 on Tuesday, almost doubled to RM40,000 on Wednesday, and shot past the target to RM66,116.45 on Thursday," said Chan.

"As we now had the funds for one live telecast, we threw a challenge to the public to keep the contributions coming so that we could have two or even more live telecasts."

The public rose up to the challenge and with some donations from larger companies, the total amount collected was RM90,000!But as the amount was not enough to cover all three matches, Chan said RTM topped up the fund with a contribution of RM33,000.

He reminisced that the proudest moment for Malaysians was when the words 'DiTaja Oleh Rakyat Malaysia' (sponsored by the people of Malaysia) beamed across the television sets and were announced each time the matches were telecasted live

Image via footoldies

"In subsequent weeks, the PLTF reached an astounding RM300,000, which was enough to pay for a fourth match as well as a fifth live telecast after the World Cup, which was the FIFA World All-Star charity match on 7 August."What started as one man's simple request brought about the nation's support and generosity in a matter of weeks."Never before had I seen Malaysians coming together for a cause like this. It was a proud moment not just for us at The Malay Mail but also for all Malaysians. It was a unique event but one that helped accomplish a mission and influence the corporate sector to come in as sponsors for future live or delayed telecasts of the World Cup from 1986 onwards."

It's always inspiring to see Malaysians coming together to achieve a common goal, such as in donating to help alleviate the nation's debt:

                Malaysians Have Donated RM18.6 Million To Tabung Harapan In Just Two Days

The trust fund was launched on 30 May.

Zahidi Zainul: I Want To Apologise To Veveonah Mosibin

Editor's Note: This story has been updated with Veveonah's statement.

Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin has now offered his apology to a Sabahan student, whom he accused of lying in order to become popular for entertainment

In a statement posted last night, 3 September, Zahidi Zainul said that he had received "inaccurate information" when he questioned 18-year-old Veveonah Mosibin's claim that she had to climb a tree and stay on top of it for 24 hours to get a better Internet connection for her online examinations in June.The Deputy Minister then apologised to the student, whose claim he previously said was a "fabrication".

Here's what Zahidi Zainul said in his clarification remark

"Referring to the debate in Dewan Negara earlier today, 3 September, I would like to correct the statement I made about Veveonah Mosibin that she did not sit for her online exams sitting on a tree," read the statement."I have received inaccurate information in regards to this during the question and answer session. I want to apologise to Veveonah Mosibin and will make a correction in Dewan Negara on Monday."

			I wish Veveonah will continue to thrive in every field she ventures into.
        Zahidi Zainul

The student has since released a statement:

A Man In China Was Fined After A Traffic Camera Captured Him 'Scratching' His Face

About a week earlier in eastern China, a traffic camera using artificial intelligence "caught" a man scratching his face and sent him a notification stating that he had violated the laws of the road

The bizarre incident happened when the male motorist, surnamed Liu, was driving in Jinan, eastern Shandong province, and had raised his hand to scratch his face while passing a traffic camera, BBC reported via the Jilu Evening Post.Liu's act of scratching his face was caught by the traffic camera, using artificial intelligence, following which the Jinan Traffic Police Department (JTPD) issued him a fine of 50 yuan (RM30.34) and 2 points off his driving licence.

He was told that the fine was for "driving while holding a phone"

However, the man wasn't using a phone while driving.And a surveillance photo of his "offence" that was attached with the notification sent to him also didn't show that he was using a phone.Still, he was fined because the artificial intelligence technology mistook his face scratching as him talking on the phone while driving, Khaleej Times reported.

After his call the local traffic department didn't help solve the problem, he posted the surveillance photo on Chinese social media

Liu took to social media after "no one would help him" over the phone."I often see people online exposed for driving and touching [others'] legs. But this morning, for touching my face, I was also snapped 'breaking the rules'!" he wrote.

Image via Sina Weibo

Liu's post went viral, leaving many to question the Jinan Traffic Police Department's surveillance cameras and their AI tech

While many were amused by his case, joking that the positioning of the man's hand signalled he certainly appeared to be on "the new invisible mobile phone", others pointed out the privacy concerns, lamenting the level of surveillance placed on them.One person commented, "This is quite embarrassing, that monitored people have no privacy." Another one said, "Chinese people’s privacy – is that not an important issue?"

Following the man's social media virality, the city's traffic authority decided to review the situation by paying close attention

Global Times reported that the JTPD has now cancelled the man's fine, telling him that the traffic surveillance system "automatically identifies a driver's motion and then takes a photo", which is why his face-scratching had been mistaken for talking on the phone.To which, one Weibo user jokingly posted, saying: "Next time, remember to show your palm to the camera before you scratch."

Datuk Who Bought Nasi Ganja With Helicopter Charged & May Face Up To 3 Years' Jail

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

A managing director of a company who flew a helicopter from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh, Perak to purchase 36 packs of nasi ganja was charged in the Magistrate's Court in Ipoh yesterday, 9 May

According to Bernama, the suspect has been identified as Datuk Mohamed Raffe K Chekku.It is reported that he is the managing director of the KL-Kuala Selangor Expressway (LATAR).The 53-year-old was charged with violating the Rules of the Air as specified by the Director-General of Civil Aviation in Chapter 3 of the 'Civil Aviation Directive 2 - Rules of the Air' by not complying with the submitted 'Flight Plan'.He was alleged to have landed the Bell 505 aircraft with registration number 9M-RCI at Padang Ipoh, instead of the aerodrome specified in the 'Flight Plan'.The offence was allegedly committed between 9.50am and 10am on 23 July 2021.He pleaded not guilty to the charge, which is framed under Regulation 77(2) of the Civil Aviation Regulations 2016.

Mohamed Raffe may face up to three years in jail and a RM50,000 fine upon conviction

He was granted bail of RM5,000 with one surety and the court has set 29 June for mention.The prosecution was conducted by deputy public prosecutor Jean Sharmila Jesudason, while Mohamed Raffe was represented by lawyer Datuk Dr Baljit Singh Sidhu.

After the police announced that Mohamed Raffe would be charged, many experienced aviators were shocked by the development

Speaking to Free Malaysia Today, they said it is a common practice for helicopter pilots to change landing locations along their flight routes as long as they have clearance from air traffic control (ATC).Mohamed Raffe had permission to land at the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport, but he landed some 6km away at Padang Ipoh, for which he did not have permission.According to Perak police chief Mior Faridalathrash Wahid, the helicopter pilot was granted a police permit in Selangor to travel to Ipoh on a "maintenance round".

Image via theSundaily

A pilot told Free Malaysia Today that the case indicting Mohamed Raffe sets a bad precedent as it will curtail the flexibility of flying helicopters."As long as pilots inform the ATC and get clearance, they don't even have to give reasons for their landing. So, we are shocked that the Attorney-General's Chambers has decided to charge the Bell 505 helicopter pilot involved in the incident, especially when he had the ATC clearance," he explained.One senior pilot with 35 years of experience, including 20 years in the airforce, also said that the case should not be a problem to begin with as he had made dozens of landings on fields and other open areas while on routine or maintenance flights.Another pilot claimed the authorities might be acting under duress because the case caught national attention at the time.  "It is clear that the flight had official permission to fly across state borders. So, they may have resorted to this action to please the public. The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia should know better, as the pilot did nothing illegal," he said."His actions did not result in the government losing any revenue nor did he cause any public nuisance, and it was never a threat to security. It may have been morally wrong under the circumstances, but this does not constitute a crime."


From Kuantan To Zombies, The Uplifting Story Of The 24-Year-Olds Behind Run For Your Lives

When I was given the assignment to speak to the organisers of Run For Your Lives Malaysia (RFYL), a zombie apocalypse themed run, I expected men in their 30s with years of experience in organising events

Image via fbcdn.net

Imagine my surprise when two 24-year-old childhood friend from Kuantan strolled into the interview session with the bright eyes and infectious enthusiasm of a young 20-something

These were the boys who brought Kuantan its very first marathon. After organizing two runs in Kuantan, they are now embarking on the RFYL international franchise with a 400-strong team behind them.

Image via fbcdn.net

Run For Your Lives is a 5km zombie-themed obstacle run, brought over from the United States. It is of an international level and will be the first time it is held Malaysia. It’s has been to Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and will soon head to China, Japan, and Australia.

Delon Leong, a university dropout, and Desmond Yong, then a fresh graduate, started event organizing company Dusty Monkeys in 2012 on a whim- there were no marathons in Kuantan

Desmond Yong, 24, founder of Dusty Monkeys.
Image via Mei Mei Chu/SAYS

Desmond: Delon and I were sitting in a café one afternoon thinking “There are no marathons in Kuantan, let’s organize one. Can we do it? I don’t know, let’s go ask the town council.” And so we did. The town council asked us to write a letter. Two weeks later we received a reply, asking us to get permission from the traffic police. The traffic police eventually gave us the thumbs up, and we said “Let’s do this.” And that’s how Dusty Monkeys was born, to create the 13km Kuantan Run 2013. We didn’t know the first thing about organizing a marathon, so we winged everything. But, we knew what we wanted; we set our target, and just figured it out along the way.

Introducing marathons to Kuantan was a difficult endeavour for the two boys. Firstly, they had to prove to people that they are capable despite their young age. They even started getting hate messages and rumours from the local running group.

Delon Leong, 24, founder of Dusty Monkeys.

Desmond: The local running group didn’t like us. They asked “Who are these two young fellas organizing a run?” They started spreading rumours saying that we were scamming people and that the run is not happening. They even asked us “Who are you to organize such a thing?" People were calling us at one in the morning to harass us, nasty emails and SMSes. It really got us down.

Skeptical of their business, their parents complained that they were wasting their time and money by not getting a real job

Desmond: My mom said for every month that I don’t work, it’s salary down the drain. It was depressing. She would give us looks when we were working from my home. She would ask what did you go today? When are you going to get a job?  Delon: I felt like I was ruining Desmond’s career. My mother also did not see a future in our start up. I kept telling her that it was just a matter of time before things would get better.

For one year, they survived on RM300 a month, eating RM4 chicken rice every day

Desmond: It was never about money. We wanted to start something. We are both long-term thinkers. Our living expenses were RM300 a month at that point. We were eating RM4 chicken rice everyday and we couldn’t even afford to order a drink. This lasted for a year.

But they were determined to prove all their non-believers wrong

The first ever Kuantan Run in 2013.
Image via fbcdn.net

Delon: The more people try to put me down, the more I will stand up. If you tell me I can’t do something or it won’t happen, I will make sure it happens. I would prove them wrong.   Desmond: Misery loves company. Knowing that somebody was going through the same thing together made it easier. We believed in ourselves. If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you.

Their first success came when they were invited to pitch their idea to Datuk YB Shakar, exco of Tourism Pahang amongst CEOs of other big corporations. The invitation came after spending six days at the Datuk's office, waiting for a chance to meet him.

Desmond: We went to his office for six times before we managed to get an appointment. Every time we would go and talk to his PA (personal assistant) and she would tell us to sit and wait. We would spend an hour or two, waiting and dozing off on the couch. One day, his PA called us and said that Datuk wanted to meet us. We thought it was a scheduled appointment, but it turned out to be a pitching session.

Their friends and family said two penniless Chinese boys could never win the pitch. But their charisma and confidence helped them win the pitch fair and square. “There weren't any discrimination,” says Delon.

Delon: This is Malaysia, it’s our culture to believe that sometimes you have to “grease the system under the table” to make things happen. Everyone told us that we can’t just go in, two Chinese boys, and pitch our idea and get the support. Desmond: We were very nervous, but we were not intimidated. We never focus on our age. We focused on what we can deliver: We promised them publicity for Kuantan, draw in a crowd of 2,000 people nationwide, and the money that we can generate for Kuantan. Charisma, posture, and confidence. And he [Datuk] gave us his support.   Delon: The Datuk was actually surprised and happy to see Chinese people for a change. They were giving us genuine smiles. They were more focused on performance and results than anything else. I really believed we were given an equal chance. If someone else had pitched a better idea, they would have won the pitch too.

Kuantan Run was a success. All 2,000 spaces were filled with people from all over the country; hotels, and restaurants were fully booked.

The Brooks Kuantan Half-Marathon Panaromic Pahang that was held in May 2014.

Delon: When we first told them (Tourism exco) that we will bring 2,000 people to Kuantan to join the run, they were like “You boleh tak….?” Then, we received over 2,000 participants including people from KL and Penang. On the night of the run, all the restaurants in town were full, even the hotels were fully booked. The datuk was very happy because we brought such an amount [of tourists] into Kuantan and generated so much profit.

From a run with 2,000 participants, the boys are now organizing the 10,000-capacity RFYL zombie-themed run. I asked the boys to give us a little teaser for RFYL.

Image via fbcdn.net

Desmond: Run For Your Lives is a 5km fun run with 10 obstacle courses. Participants get to choose two roles – the Zombie, or the Survivor. There will be one zombie for every five survivors. Zombies, come early, get your professional make up done, get into character, and chase some people around. For the survivors, you may have to run as fast as you can to dodge all the zombies. It’s going to be very thrilling, you won’t get any rest during the route, expect to sprint and run. We want participants to immerse themselves in the zombie apocalypse. Joey G will be hosting the event, there will be a massive after party with performances, music, food, drinks, and prizes.

Delon: Come with your friends, it’ll be much more fun. Or if you come alone, make new friends. There is strength in numbers. Also, Watch a few zombie movies to get into the mood. Bring your friends and family along, it’s free admission for everyone. It’s an open site, so they just would not be able to enter the race route. They can also join in the after party. There are also a few big surprises on that day that we’ve been working on, but you have to come to find out.

Their young age once worked against them but now, their youthfulness was what won them the rights to Run For Your Life Malaysia. It was their passion that made them tough enough to endure the challenges.

Image via Run For Your Lives Malaysia

Delon: It was never a question of whether we wanted to do this or not. We knew we had to do this. It never felt like work, it’s been tiring and challenging, but so much fun.   Desmond: Anything is possible if you really put your heart into it. We had no idea what we were going to do after college, and look at what we’ve achieved. Many young people complain that they don’t have money to make things happen, that’s not necessarily true. We didn’t have any money when we started, we were broke, but we still found a way around it.   Delon: The world is full of possibilities, you can do anything that you want as long as you dream it and act on it. Never lose an opportunity, time doesn’t wait for you.


Closing Mamak Restaurants Early May Lead To Khalwat, Says KIMMA

The Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress (KIMMA) is against limiting the operating hours of mamak restaurants and 24-hour eateries to midnight as it may lead to acts of khalwat

Image via New Straits Times

KIMMA president, Datuk Syed Ibrahim, believes that mamak restaurants provide a safe environment for people, especially for university students in the nighttime."These students hold study groups and discussions at a lot of mamak restaurants that are open 24 hours, seven days a week. It is a safe environment where boys and girls can mingle," he said as reported by Malay Mail Online yesterday, 25 December.

"What's going to happen if you take this away from them? They may go somewhere else that isn't safe.
"For Muslim students, are they going to a friend's house with boys and girls mingling around, unchaperoned?" questioned Datuk Syed.

He opined that such situations could lead to acts of khalwat (close proximity) and arrests by religious officers. Datuk Syed was commenting on the Health Ministry's latest initiative to fight non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as stroke, heart attack, cancer, diabetes, asthma, and chronic respiratory diseases with a new set of policies to promote a healthier lifestyle. One of it is limiting the operating hours of eateries in the country to midnight. Datuk Syed thinks that there's more to these restaurants than just providing food.

He also stressed that changing the closing hours of eateries may not necessarily help with the ministry's aim of creating a healthier society, and that the government should instead educate Malaysians about better eating habits

Malaysians will just end up cooking and snacking at home if there are no restaurants open late at night, added Datuk Syed. "What are they going to do next? Tell people you can't cook after midnight? And what about during Ramadan month, when people need to have their sahur to fast the next day? Who is going to provide food service for them?" he asked.

He also pointed out that limiting the operating hours of restaurants in the country may affect the tourism industry

"We are known for our food throughout the world. Tourists come here and are amazed that food is available 24 hours a day. Have they thought how this would impact the tourism industry?" Another concern Datuk Syed raised was regarding factory workers who have irregular working hours and always turn to mamak restaurants for hot meals. "Where are these workers going to get their meal if they can't drop by mamak restaurants during their break? What about the security guards on night watch? Who is going to feed them?" Datuk Syed questioned. He said that KIMMA will prepare a counter-proposal and submit it to the Health Ministry when the government makes an official announcement on the new policies.

Last week, Deputy Prime Minister Dato' Seri Zahid Hamidi informed that government has drawn up 13 new health-related policies to be implemented in 2018 and 2019

New Straits Times (NST) reported that the ministry is currently in the process of discussing the key policies.It was reported that NCDs account for 73% of the deaths in Malaysia, with hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases being the main killers.

The 13 key policies the Health Ministry may implement to build a healthier Malaysia.

Hilarious Video Shows Grumpy M'sian Boy Trying To Run Away From Home While Holding A Tent

A half a minute-long video posted on Facebook has gone viral. It shows a little boy grumpily walking along the road with a backpack on his shoulders and a small foldable tent tucked beneath his arm.

Image via Siakap Keli Press/Facebook

While the caption posted along with the video reads: "This reminded me of my childhood... I used to throw a fit like this too... Last time, I would carry biscuits around in my bag... hahahahaa"

In the video, which appears to have been recorded by a family member, a guy follows the boy on a motorcycle, calling out to the boy a few times.

			Eh, where are you going? Bang, where are you going? Come, get on the motorbike.

However, the boy refuses to listen and continues on his way while giving the guy on the motorcycle quite a menacing side-eye:

2 States In Malaysia Have Cancelled Ramadan Bazaars And Are Considering Online Options

Last Thursday, 26 March, Negeri Sembilan became the first state to cancel Ramadan bazaars

Image via Malay Mail

Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun said the decision was made to prevent people from gathering in an open space and be exposed to the COVID-19 virus.However, he didn't rule out the possibility of traders using delivery services or operating from their homes."Traders should be more creative. We don't allow them to do business in the open air because we refuse to take risks. I hope everyone can be patient for now, and the state government will work hard to help ease the public's burden," said Aminuddin, according to Sinar Harian.

On Sunday, 29 March, Terengganu followed suit by banning all Ramadan bazaars in the state

In light of the government’s efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19, Local Government, Housing, Health and Environment Committee chairman Dr Alias Razak said all Ramadan bazaars will not be organised in Terengganu this year."The risk of close contacts is extremely high and will likely cause further spread of COVID-19, thus impeding the government’s control efforts," said Dr Alias Razak, according to Bernama.

However, in an effort to satisfy our tastebuds and keep the local economy going, the Terengganu state government announced that they will be launching online Ramadan bazaars

According to Malay Mail, state Entrepreneurship, Human Resources, Micro Industry, and Hawker Affairs Committee chairman Mohd Nurkhuzaini Abd Rahman said the online platform would be monitored by the state's Yayasan Pembangunan Usahawan (YPU).According to him, the online platform will have the following:- All transactions made would be using e-wallets- There would be no limit to the number of online bazaars stalls opening- Terengganu entrepreneurs can register on the platform starting second week of April

In Penang, local authorities are waiting for the National Security Council's (NSC) advice before issuing licences for Ramadan bazaars in the state, said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow, as reported by Malay Mail.For Melaka, Chief Minister Datuk Sulaiman Md Ali said that discussions are also ongoing between related parties to decide the best course of action moving forward regarding Ramadan bazaars, according to Harian Metro.Meanwhile, The Borneo Post reported that the Kuching South City Council (MBKS) is deliberating whether to cancel its annual MBKS Ramadan Bazaar at Stutong Community Market, which saw a total of 139 vendors last year.

In Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, local governments have yet to make a decision on the fate of Ramadan bazaars

According to the Malaysian Association of Malay Hawkers and Small Businessmen, which represents around 35,000 Ramadan bazaar traders across the country, many vendors have already forked out tens of thousands of ringgit ahead of the fasting month.The group's secretary-general, Mohamed Zamri Mohammed told Free Malaysia Today that the loss of potential income would be huge for bazaar vendors. He said that even the smallest food vendor could gain a profit of RM5,000 during Ramadan, while bigger vendors could earn enough to sustain themselves throughout the year.
