What was the first phone that you ever used?
A Nokia? BlackBerry? Motorola?

Phones we grew up with were so indestructible that you'd rarely hear issues of cracked screens or low batteries. In fact, your Nokia back then could probably go for days without being charged.

Saya mula memiliki telefon bimbit seawal tahun 2000. Pada ketika itu saya berada di sekolah menengah dan Nokia 8250 merupakan model pertama saya miliki.Generasi Z dan Alpha mungkin bertuah kerana kad SIM sewaktu zaman saya berharga sekitar RM238. pic.twitter.com/5496mBtVjO— Xavier Naxa (@XavierNaxa) March 20, 2022

A Twitter thread by @XavierNaxa went viral recently with Malaysians sharing photos of old phones that they used growing up.He recalled how during the 2000s, a SIM card would've cost you a whopping RM238, while it only costs around RM10 today. (You also know you're old when you understand the pain of having to shorten words just to fit all the characters into one text.)

In his tweet, he shared that his first phone was the Nokia 8250, which led Malaysians to reminisce about phones that they used to have. Here's a look at some of them:

Man Who Claims To Be A "Vet" Cuts Dogs' Vocal Chords To Stop Them From Barking

A Chinese man is being investigated for running a  "veterinary" clinic on the street that cuts the vocal cords of dogs for a fee

Image via Chengdu Business Daily

Chinese media in Chengdu, the capital of southwest Sichuan province, recently revealed that the man, known by his surname Zeng, had set up a stall in a market where he offered his "debarking" services.His business has been well received by locals with many bringing their "noisy" pooches for him to operate on.Debarking, or vocal cordectomy, is a procedure that cuts tissue off an animal’s vocal cords to reduce the volume of its vocalisations.

Zeng begins the operation by putting a dog to sleep through anaesthesia

Image via Chengdu Business Daily

A "veterinary assistant" then helps him by opening the dog’s mouth to make way for his flashlight, forceps, and scissors.The procedure only lasts for about five minutes, and costs around 50 to 100 yuan (RM31 to RM63).

Media reports noted the appalling conditions of his stall. In between operations, his tools and needles were not sanitised or cleaned.

Image via Chengdu Business Daily

The ground by his feet was splattered with blood, used cotton, and syringes.“Without a clean environment, the procedure not only risks the dogs’ lives but also residents’ health. Barking is a behaviour that can be changed after training,” said Ye Wenjie, an assistant vet based in Chengdu told South China Morning Post.

Thankfully, Zeng's business has since been shut down by the Chinese government

Officers from the government asked Zeng to produce his veterinary licence.
Image via Chengdu Business Daily

Chinese law actually prohibits veterinary operations from being carried out on the street because of obvious health and safety implications to the public.Zeng, who claimed to have learnt the skills at a pet shop in the past, has since had his tools confiscated, and he is now under investigation by local police, who may punish him for carrying out the unauthorised operations.

BSH 2020 Will Be Paid Out On 20 January. Here's How To Check If You're Eligible For RM300

The first phase of the Cost of Living Aid (BSH) 2020 will be paid out on 20 January based on the BSH 2019 database

"The first phase payments of RM300 for each household will be credited directly to the recipients' respective bank accounts using the information from BSH 2019," said Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng in a statement on Monday, 6 January.According to The Star, some 3.8 million households will benefit from the allocated RM1 billion.

BSH is a form of financial assistance provided by the government for households making less than RM4,000 a month

According to the MyBSH website, the aid is given according to household income:- RM1,000 for income under RM2,000,- RM700 for income between RM2,001 and RM3,000, and- RM500 for income between RM3,001 and RM4,000.The payments will be given out in three phases this year.On top of this, there is an additional BSH of RM120 to be given to those with children aged 18 years and below (but limited to four children).Parents of children with disabilities will receive the additional RM120 regardless of their children's age.

BSH 2020 will be given out similarly to BSH 2019.

Aside from the household income category, the other two categories of people eligible for BSH 2020 are people who are single and persons with disabilities (OKU).According to New Straits Times, Lim said yesterday that those in the single and OKU categories will receive a one-off payment in the second phase of payouts.

Those who received BSH 2019 last year need not apply again for BSH 2020

"No application is necessary if the applicant has been approved and there is no change of information details, as well as for disabled applicants listed as the Welfare Department's e-Bantuan recipients," said Lim.

The minister, however, said applicants should make a new application if they are newly eligible and had not registered or if their application was not approved last year

"To make sure those truly qualified are not left out under the BSH 2020 programme, one can apply and make updates starting from 1 February to 15 March," explained Lim.Recipients can update their details online at MyBSH or at any Inland Revenue Board Of Malaysia (LHDN) branches, HASiL service centres, or Urban Transformation Centres (UTC).The minister added that once the BSH 2020 database has been updated, and if the appeals are approved, the payment will be made in the second and third phase later this year.He also said that cash payments will be made on 1 February to recipients who do not have a bank account and are residing in rural areas.

Guy Shares How Much He Saved In A Year By Taking Out RM1 And RM5 Every Day

Have you ever tried saving the loose change you end up with and see how much you can save in — let's say — a week or a month?

Image via Giphy

Well, one Malaysian tried and took it to the next level

He managed to save up RM3,900 by taking out RM1s and RM5s from his wallet and putting them aside at the end of every day since 1 January 2017.This habit of putting aside small change to save up for the whole year is something Joe Najib practices every year. Joe, a socio-political commentator whose Facebook posts often gets shared across the platform by the over 20K Malaysians who follow him, had posted about the practice on his profile earlier this month."Those of you who've been following me for the past few years will know that this is my annual ritual. And some of you have successfully adopted this habit as well."

Now, RM3,900 may not sound like a lot of money at first

But if you think about it, RM3,900 will get you a brand new iPhone 8 and you will still have enough left to treat a couple of your friends to a fancy meal.As Joe Najib pointed out in his Facebook post, "for some RM3,900 is a 10% downpayment for a small Perodua or Proton. It's also a full month salary for many.""As for me, it's my year-end holiday funds, as usual," Joe added in his post.

If you can't do it for an entire year, try for a week or a month

"You'll be surprised how much you have at the end of every month for shopping, or the end of every week for a good meal out," Joe wrote in his post.

As it's the last day of 2017, let Joe's post about his ritual of saving money become a resolution for you to start doing the same for 2018

Frog Comes Back To 'Life' And Hops Off Hot Pot Table

A woman had the shock of her life when a piece of meat she ordered for dinner decided to make a run for it and hop off the table

In a now viral video, one woman's dinner, supposedly uncooked frog legs decided to crawl off the dining table.

Eventually the video ends with the frog legs falling to the ground

Fortunately, the dead frog has not been revived and there is a scientific reason behind this

"Although the brain and heart are not intact, there are cells (in the body) that can still respond to stimuli such as salt or soy sauce," Penn State Uni explains on their website.According to Huffpost, the meat must be relatively fresh for it to react this way.This explanation is similar to the dancing squid that went viral online a few years ago.

The Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) has announced that it will impose a hefty RM3,500 fine for any vehicle towed for parking illegally at Shah Alam residential areas, The Star Online reported.

Image via AP

The three - a Malaysian, a Syrian and an Indonesian - were picked up by the Bukit Aman Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division on Thursday, 24 September.

        thestar.com.my

They were arrested in a raid carried out by the federal police Special Branch's Counter-Terrorism Division near Jalan Alor about 6pm Thursday. Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Noor Rashid Ibrahim said the arrests were made based on tip-off received by the division from their international intelligence network and surveillance. He said police believed that the suspects were involved in terrorism activities, and had the intention to launch terror attacks on Malaysian soil. They are being detained to facilitate investigations under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012.

        nst.com.my

"Police are still investigating to confirm if the three are involved in any plans to launch attacks in Malaysia," Noor Rashid said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

25 SEPT: In a travel warning issued on the website of the United States Embassy in KL, the US has warned its citizens to avoid Jalan Alor and its surrounding areas in KL, fearing a "possible terrorist act"

"Based on credible threat information regarding potential terrorist act, the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur advises US citizens to avoid Kuala Lumpur's Jalan Alor and the immediate surrounding areas on Thursday, Sept 24," the alert reads.

        malaysiakini.com

“For all other locations, the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur reminds US citizens of the need for caution and awareness of personal security. In the past, terrorist organisations have on occasion planned their attacks to coincide with significant dates on the calendar,” said the embassy.

“Review your personal security plans; remain aware of your surroundings, including local events; and monitor local news stations for updates. Maintain a high level of vigilance, take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security, and follow instructions of local authorities.”

        therakyatpost.com

The alert by the US Embassy was also circulated by the Australian government on its Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website

"There is an ongoing threat of terrorism in Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur and other major cities. In 2015, Malaysian authorities have made a number of arrests of persons allegedly involved in planning attacks, including against entertainment venues in Kuala Lumpur," the Australian alert reads

        malaysiakini.com

“Due to a possible terrorism threat, Australians are advised to avoid Kuala Lumpur’s Jalan Alor (Alor Street) and the immediate surrounding areas on Thursday 24 September. The level of advice has not changed. We continue to advise Australians to reconsider the need to travel to the coastal region of eastern Sabah, and to exercise normal security precautions in Malaysia overall,” the alert said.

        thestar.com.my

However, while both The Star and Malaysiakini are reporting that the police have said no terrorist threat exists, The Malaysian Insider (TMI) is claiming otherwise.
According to a TMI report, police are on alert and have increased patrols in Jalan Alor and the surrounding areas in Kuala Lumpur.

Citing an unnamed KL police source, TMI further reports that the police believe the terror threat to be in retaliation for the crackdown against the militants.

Last month, Malaysian police arrested 10 suspected Isis members in multiple raids across the country. Those arrested included six security forces personnel, a former interior designer and a kindergarten teacher, it was reported.The suspects – eight men and two women – were detained by the special counter-terrorism division in six separate areas, including Kuala Lumpur.Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said then that the suspected militants were believed to be plotting an attack on Malaysian soil, and were collecting funds to assist Malaysian Isis members wanting to travel to Syria.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Meanwhile, Malaysiakini reported that it found nothing untoward at the Bukit Bintang area, where Jalan Alor is located, adding that it was filled with tourists as per usual, with minimal police presence

This Malaysian's Name Is Proton Saga And He Named His Child Viva

Meet Proton Saga Kelambu. He is an Orang Asli in Trolak, Perak.

Image via Sinar Harian

Proton Saga was born on 6 August 1984, about 11 months before the Proton Saga car model was launched in July 1985.It is understood that the name 'Proton Saga Kelambu' gained attention when a photo of the name sighted on a BR1M (1Malaysia People's Aid) offer letter went viral on social media recently.

Image via Facebook via Gegar Rakyat

So, what's the story behind this unique name?

It happened about 33 years ago when Proton Saga's father, Kelambu Jambi, was confused because he did not have any idea what to name his child as he was illiterate.  Then, the name came about at the suggestion of a fellow police officer that he met at the National Registration Department (JPN) when he was about to register a name for his son. "I did not know what name to put at that time, and somebody suggested Proton Saga. I thought it was good, so I just went with it," he was quoted as saying by Sinar Harian.

But Kelambu finds no shame in naming his son after the first Malaysian car produced by the national carmaker, Proton

Kelambu and his wife, Jamaliah Dua, said that they do not regret the choice of the name given to their eldest son, and even feel proud every time someone mentions his name. "It was indeed quite awkward in the beginning but over time we became used to it. Outsiders who heard my son's name for the first time said that it is unique and very good. As a father, of course I am proud," Kelambu said. Proton Saga, who is known as 'Alor' among his friends, said that none of his friends ever mocked or ridiculed his name even though they knew that his name is the name of a car. "I do not mind, why should I be ashamed or shy? If people ask name, I'll tell them my real name," the 33-year-old reportedly said.

It's no secret that Proton Saga takes pride in his own name because he named his child 'Viva'!

He followed his father's footsteps and his eldest child was named after the car produced by Perodua in May 2007. It is said that the name was proposed by a nurse in Tapah. "Like my father, at that time I did not know what name I should give to my child. Incidentally, a nurse came to check on my wife. She gave a suggestion to name the child Viva. My wife and I thought it was unique and immediately agreed," Proton Saga told Sinar Harian.Proton Saga also has another child named Sani, who turns one this year.

Jelasnya, susulan daripada kes keracunan makanan itu,  tindakan terhadap peniaga telah diambil pada ketika ini."Tindakan kepada peniaga juga sudah diambil. Cuma nasihat saya kepada peniaga makanan di seluruh negara supaya menitik berat aspek kesihatan, terutama pemeriksaan kesihatan dan sebagainya. Mesti bersih bagi memastikan tidak ada apa-apa penyakit."Selain itu, jangan gunakan barang yang sudah tamat tempoh kerana ini membabitkan nyawa manusia. Kita tidak tahu walaupun penyakit ini nampak biasa dan tidak membawa maut tetapi apa-apa boleh berlaku," katanya.

Semoga perkara ini menjadi iktibar buat peniaga-peniaga lain.

Here's An Easy Way To Save On Your Telco And Internet Bills

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Digi.

Looking to save on telco and Internet bills?
One easy and simple way to do so is through family plans!

Image via Freepik

Chances are, you're paying for your own phone bill and sharing the monthly WiFi (e.g. home Internet or fibre) cost with those you're living with.But did you know that you could save a lot more by roping people into a family bundle plan? Plus, if you consolidate your home Internet plan, you could be paying a lot less and getting a lot more in the long run.While it may sound like a hassle at first, family bundle plans can be really cost effective, and it's not just limited to immediate family members. You could start a family plan with your relatives (like cousins, uncles, aunts, and even grandparents), your friends, or even your housemates — a win-win situation for everyone!

Digi recently launched their Family Unlimited Bundle, offering you multiple Postpaid family lines with unlimited data and no speed cap, woah! :O

With Digi Family Unlimited Bundle, you'll save more without compromising on Internet data or speed.The perfect family plan for you and your loved ones, it starts at RM200 per month for three lines, and comes with unlimited data and calls. Next, you can add up to four additional lines (also with unlimited Internet) at only RM45 per month each.Furthermore, Family Unlimited Bundle customers can opt in for Digi Fibre 300Mbps at just an additional RM100 per month (normal price RM150 per month)!

Image via Vecteezy

That's not all. The Family Unlimited Bundle doesn't come with any contractual commitments in order to enjoy the bundle savings. But you have the option to take up other Freedom Add-On and device contracts to enjoy even further savings, like these:- Get a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite for free when you sign up for a 24-month device contract! This offer is exclusive to Family Unlimited Bundle subscribers only.OR- As the principal line holder, you may opt in for one-year free roaming with the Roam Like Home Freedom Add-On. All you need to do is commit to a 12-month contract for the Family Unlimited Bundle. The Add-On comes with 10GB roaming Internet, 60-minute roaming voice call, and 60-minute IDD voice call, covering Australia, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.

Not sure how much a Family Unlimited Bundle plan will cost? We did the math for you:

Image via Digi

If you subscribe to the basic Digi Family Unlimited Bundle, you'll get one principal line and two family lines for RM200. When you divide it equally, it's around RM66 per month each for unlimited calls and Internet, with no speed cap.Not to mention, you can get a free Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite if you sign up for the 24-month contract.But what if you want to add two more family members?

Image via Digi

You can easily add two lines for RM45 each with the exact same unlimited Internet. And if you're all living together, you can share Digi Fibre 300Mbps for only RM100.In total, for a family of five, you'll only need to pay RM78 per month each for unlimited Internet and calls, as well as Digi's high-speed fibre Internet for your other devices.Try out Digi's Family Unlimited Bundle calculator on their website!

For those of you who don't need the family bundle, you can still easily add individual Postpaid Family plans for greater value

Japan Minister In Charge Of Vaccines Gets Roasted For Tweeting About Malaysian Durian

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

A Japanese minister's Tweet about Malaysian durian has drawn flak from netizens for reasons, thankfully, unrelated to the actual fruit

Japan's Administrative Affairs Minister Taro Kono shared about the exported Malaysian product on his official Twitter account on 31 May."Durians are coming to the Japanese market," Kono wrote, showing off a box of Musang King that displays the Malaysian flag and coat of arms.The minister is known to be extremely fond of durian.

Durians are coming to the Japanese market. pic.twitter.com/4ymBeycPvq— KONO Taro (@konotaromp) May 31, 2021

For most netizens, the news was welcomed and many were happy to hear about the additional availability of the 'King Of Fruits' in Japan

"Thanks for choosing Malaysian Durians, Kono-san!" said a Twitter user.

Image via Twitter

"This durian package design is cool! It should definitely smell nice," said another.

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, a grateful Malaysian user Tweeted, "I'm a Malaysian staying in Japan. And here, [I've been] getting my durian from a Vietnamese store. Thanks for this."

Image via Twitter

However, as Kono is also the minister in charge of Japan's vaccine distribution — which has reportedly been slow — the Tweet has also drawn many sarcastic and dissatisfied replies

"Get us vaccinated and you can have all the durians you want, Taro-chan," said one user.

Image via Twitter

"So, the durians have the vaccine in them?" replied another sarcastically.

Image via Twitter

This netizen said, "I might choose a ripe durian over a vaccine. So good... Wait, you won't distract me, Taro Kono! Nice try, though."

Image via Twitter

Another encouraged the minister, "Now I can see what it's all about. I keep hearing you either love or hate them. But stay focused on getting those vaccines to the public! FOCUS."

Image via Twitter

A survey conducted by global consultancy Kekst CNC found that 75% of Japanese have been dissatisfied with their country's vaccine rollout

According to The Japan Times, the government plans to inoculate most of its 36 million people over the age of 65 by the end of July, in time for the Tokyo Olympics that is scheduled to begin on 23 July.To reach that vaccination target, the government hopes to deliver about 1 million shots a day. However, the current pace has instead been three times slower.Japan has only inoculated 2.9% of its population in May, the lowest rate among wealthy countries.

If you are craving durian in Malaysia, here's a list of online durian sellers that will deliver to your doorstep:

Kenapa Bank Tolak RM200 Daripada Akaun Setiap Kali Kita 'Swipe' Kad Di Pam Minyak?

Perasan tak, bank akan memotong sejumlah RM200 setiap kali kita swipe kad ketika isi minyak?

Image via Car Blog Malaysia

Ramai yang terkejut apabila mendapat tahu akaun mereka tiba-tiba tak cukup RM200 sehari selepas mengisi minyak petrol. Bila semak semula penyata bank, nilai RM200 itu dilihat telah ditolak tanpa sebarang tujuan.Ada juga yang menganggap wang mereka mungkin telah dicuri dan akaun mereka telah digodam oleh pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab. Resah dan gelisah dibuatnya.

Rupa-rupanya, "potongan" tersebut merupakan transaksi pra-kelulusan dan ia hanya berlaku apabila petrol dibayar menggunakan kad

Image via SAYS

Dalam dokumen FAQ mengenai PIN & PAY, Public Bank menyatakan:"Pam serba lurus akan memberi kuasa kepada urus niaga bahan bakar sebelum anda boleh mula mengepam bahan api ke dalam kenderaan anda. Ini dilakukan dengan menghantar jumlah pra-kebenaran pada kad pembayaran kepada kami."Pam layan diri itu akan membenarkan urus niaga petrol sebelum anda mula mengepam petrol ke dalam kenderaan. Ini dibuat dengan menghantar jumlah pra-kelulusan yang dibenarkan pada kad pembayaran kepada kami."Transaksi pra-kelulusan dikenakan ke atas kedua-dua kad debit dan kad kredit.

Apa itu transaksi pra-kelulusan?

CIMB menjelaskan bahawa pra-kelulusan ialah memegang sementara jumlah tertentu dari had kredit sedia ada pada kad pembayaran. Ia digunakan untuk mengesahkan bahawa kad itu aktif dan mempunyai kredit yang mencukupi sebelum urus niaga.Pra-kelulusan berlaku sebelum bahan api dipam - ketika jumlah sebenar bahan api yang dipam belum diketahui.Ringkasnya, bank anda ingin tahu jika anda mempunyai wang tunai / kredit yang mencukupi untuk membayar petrol anda.

Jumlah pra-kelulusan itu bukanlah caj dan tiada sebarang wang pun didebitkan daripada akaun anda, cuma baki yang ada pada kad dikurangkan buat sementara waktu

Image via SAYS

Sebaik sahaja anda selesai mengisi minyak, jumlah sebenar bahan api yang dikeluarkan akan dihantar kepada bank.Ketika ini, jumlah sebenar bahan api akan didebitkan daripada akaun anda dan jumlah pra-kelulusan dibebaskan. Walau bagaimanapun, ia mungkin mengambil masa 3-4 hari untuk jumlah tersebut masuk semula ke dalam akaun.

Boleh tak kalau nak elakkan transaksi pra-kelulusan ini?

Image via Flickr

Untuk mengelakkan transaksi pra-kelulusan, apa yang anda perlu buat ialah bayar di kaunter, di mana jumlah pembelian yang tepat akan ditolak daripada akaun anda.Sekiranya anda merancang untuk menggunakan kad untuk mengisi minyak, transaksi pra-kelulusan tidak dapat dielakkan - melainkan jika anda adalah pemegang kad debit CIMB.CIMB mengeluarkan kenyataan tahun lepas yang mendedahkan bahawa jumlah pra-kelulusan sebanyak RM200 untuk transaksi petrol akan dikecualikan bagi kad debit CIMB di semua stesen minyak PETRONAS.

Isn't It Dangerous For People To Walk On The LRT Track? RapidKL Has The Answer

On 9 September, following the glitch that disrupted the LRT services along the Kelana Jaya line, commuters had to walk on the tracks:

Image via @hafizhaniff

The stranded passengers had to walk on the emergency walkway on the elevated track as they had to be evacuated and led to the nearest stations.

The sight of people captured walking on the tracks made people on social media criticize RapidKL for putting passengers' lives at risk

To add to the issue of commuters walking on the tracks, a video posted by theSundaily on its YouTube channel showed that while they were still on the tracks walking, next to them was another train in motion coming from the opposite direction.It made some people on Facebook and Twitter question RapidKL's decision to let the train operate while passengers were still walking on the tracks.

While responding to comments on Facebook over the safety concern, RapidKL explained that walking on tracks is actually a part of their Emergency Response Plan (ERP) in the case of an unexpected situation and that this plan was approved by SPAD

However, commentators were having none of it.Commenting further on its Facebook page, they asked what if the LRT commuters slip or fall, will RapidKL will be held accountable for this, and if it is part of the ERP for a train from the opposite direction to run while commuters are still on the track.

Image via Rapid KL

Even the Public Transport Users Association (4PAM) President, Ajith Johl, was shocked to see photos of LRT commuters walking on the tracks. The Star reported him saying this was "simply unacceptable".

"This highlights the weakness in the safety measures taken by the operator. It was sheer luck that nobody was injured," Ajith was quoted by The Star, who said the explanation given by Rapid KL was "inadequate.""4PAM demands that Prasarana comes clean with its maintenance records and forms an independent committee to investigate this matter further," added Ajith.

Following which, this SAYS writer wrote to G. Tivanaathan, Group Communications & Strategic Marketing Associate at Prasarana

SAYS asked G. Tivanaathan if the ERP approved by SPAD involved trains from the opposite direction to be in motion while commuters were still on the tracks.

Here's what G. Tivanaathan told us over email:

"We would like to emphasize that no one was allowed to walk on the tracks during the evacuation," Tivanaathan said, adding that Rapid KL "only allow passengers (to) walk on the designated walkway along the track."

Passengers can be seen here walking on the designated walkway along the track, and not on the tracks.
Image via Hafiz Razak

Highlighting the designated walkways' purpose, he said they are "used mainly for maintenance or passengers evacuation procedure"

"All standard operating procedures were followed during Friday's evacuation of passengers near the Sri Rampai and Damai stations."These walkways, which are flush-mounted aluminum panels with serrated surfaces to provide more grip, are located at either median of the elevated sections, separating both pairs of rails. These walkways, which (are) between 90cm and 120cm, may also be located on either side of the track at other locations," he said.Tivanaathan added that during the Friday's guided evacuation, "the passengers were closely supervised by a number of trained staffs on duty."The staff monitored the situation closely and ensured the safety of every passenger.
