People Are Being Paid Up To RM4,700 To Write Fake Reviews Online

As the shopping landscape shifts from traditional brick and mortar to e-commerce websites, shoppers are more dependent on reviews to determine the legitimacy of businesses or the authenticity of products

The common school of thought tells us to always shop from merchants with good, positive reviews.But it seems this foolproof way to online shopping is not as secure as it is made out to be.

A recent report by Channel NewsAsia's Talking Point programme sheds light on the rise of fabricated reviews on online sites

Image via Channel NewsAsia

The programme details the account of Lynn (not her real name), an online reviewer who rates products on shopping websites like Taobao. Lynn does not try out the products in person. In fact, it is not a job requirement. All she needs to do is to leave a positive review and gets paid for it. Channel NewsAsia says Lynn is part of a legion of fake reviewers secretly hired by recruiting firms to help "manage the online reputations of businesses." A recruiting company revealed it has about 80,000 hires in this region.

Lynn takes in around SGD1,600 (RM4,720) monthly for her work, which consists of writing three to four reviews a month

"They send me the link to the product, then they would ask me to give a good review," she told Singapore-based news portal.

While consumers might view this practice as dishonest and fraudulent, a recruiter asserted that it is more of a "marketing strategy"

"When customers shop online, they would only browse the top few sellers listed on the search. With brushing, we are able to boost our rankings so that we’re visible when customers do a search for products," the recruiter said.

However, Taobao is not the only shopping website facing problems with fake reviews. They have popped up on Amazon as well.

Image via BGR

An examination by The Washington Post found that fake reviews were evident in popular categories like Bluetooth speakers and earphones. These reviews had certain characteristics, such as repetitive wording that people probably cut and paste in.Amazon's plague of inauthentic reviews was also the topic of a BuzzFeed article, which detailed how social media platforms like Reddit and Facebook played a part in creating systems responsible for this practice.

How can shoppers tell a bogus review from a legitimate one?

“Consumers can look for more balanced reviews with pros and cons on the products. They can also go into other websites, search for the same products and read the reviews too, and have a more balanced view," said Koh Noi Sian, a data analytics lecturer from Nanyang Polytechnic.Experts at Digital Trends recommend using websites like ReviewMeta and Fakespot for discerning the quality and legitimacy of online reviews. Do note the mentioned sites may not work on all platforms, such as Taobao and Lazada.

Telling fact from fiction is getting more and more difficult online. Be extra careful, everyone. Always research before making a purchase.

Another Dead Dolphin Has Been Sighted In Penang In Less Than A Week

The carcasses of two dolphins were washed ashore in Penang recently

According to media reports, the first dolphin was spotted on 29 December 2017 while another was found yesterday, 4 January. The first dolphin, an Indo-Pacific Humpback, was already decomposing when it was found. The Star Online reported environmentalist Andrew Ng Yew Han as saying that the two dolphins were found at the same stretch of beach behind a hotel in Tanjung Bungah within a span of six days. Ng told the English daily that he has instructed the fishermen and residents’ association to inform him if they discovered any dead sea creatures such as turtles or dolphins, so that he could report them to the authorities to take further action. "This is to create more awareness and pressure the authorities to investigate such matters as it is vital to find out their cause of death," he was quoted as saying.

Image via Pulau Parasit/Facebook

It was learned the authorities did not conduct an autopsy (or necropsy) to get to the bottom of the issue when the first dolphin's death was reported to them

Image via @DOF_Malaysia/Twitter

This was revealed by NGO Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) who told New Straits Times that the matter was reported to the Department of Fisheries (DOF) Malaysia, but the authorities just "buried it instead of conducting an autopsy"."We would not know the cause of death unless the department or the Fisheries Research Institute of Malaysia carries out a post-mortem," a SAM representative reportedly said. While it is uncertain why no post-mortem has been carried out to determine the cause of death, senior lecturer Dr Leela Rajamani from the Centre for Marine and Coastal studies of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) has said that the Centre for Marine and Coastal is looking for funding to conduct a post-mortem, as reported by The Star Online. "A post-mortem is needed to identify their cause of death. We are looking for funding. A proper lab is needed to do a post-mortem," she was quoted as saying.

In August 2016, there was an uproar after a dolphin  that is believed to have died from consuming rubbish was spotted in Penang

The carcass of the dolphin was found along the beach off Pulau Jerejak.Photos of the dolphin went viral on social media, prompting netizens to voice out their concerns over the possible pollution of Penang waters that is killing wildlife.

Having opened in the fourth quarter of 2021, LUT Gastrobar aims to provide top-notch food in a relaxed environment

Image via LUT

Situated in one of the prime areas of TTDI comes a modern and refined fusion gastrobar that caters to a diverse range of cuisines.LUT Gastrobar serves up contemporary dishes with a unique twist. The presentation of these multidimensional flavours by Chef Waymann depicts his clear ideology in food: to take you on a trip from Europe to Japan.Chef Waymann, who hails from Penang, and his team, have honed and polished their skills from many parts of the world, including Australia, Singapore, and San Francisco. Without any attachment to a particular cuisine, a variety of flavours are featured to tinker with our taste buds and expound on their creativity at the same time.

Image via @lut_kl (Instagram)

While fancy restaurants expect a certain degree of etiquette out of their customers when dining, and bars may get a little too rowdy for a proper meal at times, LUT seemingly finds a way to combine the positive aspects of both elements.Entering the establishment, the waiting area is an ideal starting point for taking Instagram photos before heading to the dining space.Depending on your mood, catch a front-row seat at the bar to watch the chefs work their magic on the plate, or instead relax at one of their tables to soak up the ambiance of this inventive and modern eatery.

The striking neon interior coupled with exposed brick accents across the gastrobar emphasise the overall rebellious design layout which LUT aims to project as their signature theme.These dynamic visuals complement the diverse crowd LUT attracts throughout the day. From a peaceful and calm ambience in the afternoon, making LUT ideal for family outings, colleague lunches, and even friendly brunches, the establishment transforms into a lively and upbeat environment at night for casual meet-ups with friends and big birthday celebrations.If you're looking for a touch of exclusivity, there are even private seating areas upstairs for intimate groups of six, or even large parties of up to 30!Did we mention that all the graffiti artistry in LUT is done by hand?

Let's move on to the food! The consideration and craft of each dish is truly exceptional, from the flavours down to arrangement on the plate.

Image via LUT Gastrobar (Provided to SAYS)

Beginning with their Signature Chilled Capellini, this fine pasta came with a generous piece of uni topped with lumpfish caviar, delicately placed on a spread of dashi espuma. The rich flavour of sea urchin in combination with the delicate and soft capellini (which is notorious for being one of the harder pastas to cook) springs into your mouth with savoury delight. Prepared to perfection, each element on the plate complemented the other(s), culminating to a delightful starter that oozed a glorious aroma.

Image via LUT Gastrobar (Provided to SAYS)

Next, we moved on to the Spinach 'n' Mache Salad, which consisted of charred corn and rocket, generously topped with miso and sprinkles of sesame as well as rice puffs. Though lightly scorched on the outside, the corn was fresh and juicy on the inside. In combination with the tangy dressing of the miso, this item is a great cleanser for you palette before moving on to other dishes in the lineup. Fresh, salty, and savoury at the same time, trust me when I say even those who groan at the sight of salads must order this crunchy indulgence when they visit LUT.

Serving up a generous menu of light snacks with flare, these next couple of eats display the range of diverse items by LUT

Image via LUT Gastrobar (Provided to SAYS)

A favourite of regular patrons, the Signature Foie Gras Sandwich can easily be described as a dream on the plate.Slicing into the toasty texture of the bread into a flawless sear of foie gras, made for the most tender cut I have ever seen in a portion of this meat before. The silky texture of this buttery meat is complemented by the smooth and creamy pear purée spread lavishly on the tip of the sandwich.

Image via LUT Gastrobar (Provided to SAYS)

As one of the more alternative pieces on the menu, the Chargrilled Cauliflower makes a great snack for all vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.Served with sprinkles of parmesan and decorated with delicate drops of aioli, each element of this dish magnificently complements the lightly charred cauliflower. The combination of all these elements however, sing a harmonious symphony in your mouth.

Encapsulating the essence of LUT, a unique variety of main dishes will have you travelling the globe from Sichuan to Australia

Image via LUT Gastrobar (Provided to SAYS)

Carnivores, it's time for you to lean into their Chargrilled Ribeye Steak. Tender and flavourful on the inside, these slabs of meat are an excellent blushing pink in the middle, chargrilled at a medium rare consistency. The addition of the sweet red wine reduction is accompanied by a mild spice in the mustard, amplifying the flavours in this grill to a whole new level while still maintaining a balanced palette.While we were blown away by the Australian Angus Ribeye MB5, those looking for something a little more fatty can go for their cap filet instead.

Travel to Sichuan on a plate, with the 'kick' that is the Spicy Mala Prawn. Served with their signature spicy bean sauce, the prawns were steaming hot when I cut into the generous sized pieces. They were literally as big as my fork!The bright red sauce is sharp and strong, I dare suggest, even to those with a high spice tolerance like myself. With elements of celery and cauliflower to be found swimming in the sauce, this dish packs a punch for anybody looking to get their spice relief.

The best dish of the night has to go to the Seafood Paella, for since it landed on our table, every bite was truly exceptional

While the menu elaborates on the suitability of this dish for two, we would go on a limb to say that it covers the bases for more than just that.Between the crispy rice sizzling in the pan, the fresh element of tomatoes as a bitter relief, and the generous helpings of prawns, squid, and clams, this dish is our personal star of the show, and a must-order on the menu!With dabs of aioli scattered across the rice and the use of green lemon to subtly enhance the citrus dispersions of mild seafood on the plate, the Seafood Paella completely embodies the spirit of this gastrobar.

We were stuffed by the time dessert came, but let me tell you how this brownie made our mouths water all over again

Image via LUT Gastrobar (Provided to SAYS)

Just when we thought we couldn't eat anything more, the Triple Chocolate Brownie with Mocha Sorbet entered stage left. The carefully constructed dessert consists of a brownie layer, a white chocolate layer, and a dark chocolate layer. With the chocolates sourced from Belgium and France, the preservation of bittersweet accents in the dark chocolate were gloriously flattered by the sweet and creamy elements in the while chocolate. There were even gold leaf pieces straddling the edge of the brownie when we went in for a bite.The mocha sorbet was everything we could have imagined, and more. Glossy on the outside and smooth on the inside, the sensation of coffee is strong in this confection, pairing with the caramel to give a warm and gooey sensation in your mouth.Sweet and comforting, this dish was ideal to end our tasting session.

Ultimately, every goal LUT set out for themselves to achieve was accomplished in tenfold when it came to execution and preparation

Image via LUT Gastrobar (Provided to SAYS)

Though it may not be a huge consideration for many, we cannot understate the service provided at LUT Gastrobar. The attendants and servers were both polite and helpful, without being despondent and intrusive at the same time.While the food was exceptional in every serving, the warm welcome and hospitable nature of the staff will encourage a return to this gastrobar in the future.Overall, if you're looking to explore a variety of dining experiences: daytime or nighttime, lunch or dinner, snack or full-course meal, casual or celebratory, LUT Gastrobar will provide you with a diverse range of cuisines you seek.With no hesitation and no exaggeration, LUT Gastrobar gets a perfect score on our SAYS metre:★★★★★

Man In Ipoh Built A House For His Homeless Neighbours In His Own Land

It doesn't take much to spread kindness and help others - even the simplest of gestures have the potential to light up someone's life. An odd-job worker recently built a house, on his own land, for his elderly neighbour.

R.Saravanan (not pictured), a 39-year-old odd-job worker who lives in Kampung Spynie, Setiawan, decided to build a 300 sq ft house for his Chinese neighbours, 81-year-old Siew Eng and her partially blind son, 55-year-old Ng Kem Leng recently.The pair lost their house two years ago in a fire and has since been riddled with financial problems as they lost everything in the fire and have no other family members to turn to for help. "I built the house for her since she has nowhere to go and she could not salvage anything during the incident. Every morning, I will bring her to the wet market to buy some fishes and vegetables," said Saravanan, as reported by NST today, 27 January.

Siew has expressed her sincere gratitude and thanks to Saravanan. "I didn't expect to be treated like this by Saravanan and his family. Although we are of different race and religion, he treats me just like his own mother."

According to NST, Siew also explained how Saravanan's whole family is always ready to lend a helping hand to her, share their food, and make sure that she and her son are taken care of. "His family is helpful too and always share their food with us especially breakfast. I thought there are no longer any good people in this world, but I was wrong," added Siew.

As for Saravanan, kindness knows no boundaries of colours. He said that people must be treated with love and compassion regardless of their race or religion.

"I just want to help Siew who I call 'amma'. She is my mother, my 'amma'. I love her just like my own mother," said Saravanan, adding that he is very excited to celebrate Chinese New Year with the duo. Chinese New Year falls on the 27 and 28 January this year.

Meanwhile, after being informed of Siew's situation, Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, has informed that the state government will build a new house for her through Yayasan Bina Upaya (YBU)

The house is expected to be completed this year. After spending time with Siew in the house built by Saravanan, Zambry was all praises for the Ipoh man. NST reported him as saying that Saravanan's "selfless act and generosity" is an example to all and shows true neighbourhood spirit.Siew, on the other hand, was overcome with emotions with the pleasant surprise announced by the Menteri Besar. "This is like the best Chinese New Year gift for me. I could never afford it and I know that by just saying thank you, it is not enough. "I will finally get to stay in my own home but I will never forget what Saravanan's family has done for my family," expressed Siew.

Good job, Saravanan! :D

In interviews with local media, Ying revealed that their mother could not afford to send them both to university, so her brother voluntarily withdrew himself from school to work

The 27-year-old told Thai PBS Online that her brother, 30-year-old Nattapong Chanapol, is her only sibling and they are very close. They live together with their mother in the Surat Thani province in southern Thailand.She explained that their mother is a rubber tapper and was not earning enough to sustain the family, and so about 10 years ago, her brother decided to quit second year of vocational school to help support them.After dropping out of college, Nattapong helped their mother harvest and sell rubber.Ying said, at the time, as a secondary school student, she had not understood what her brother had done.

This Is Why Grab Deducts Extra Money When You Pay With Your ATM Card

If you use Grab, you might have noticed that extra money was deducted from your account when you first started using it

Don't be alarmed.

Image via Amanz.my

The "deducted cash" is a temporary pre-authorisation to verify your payment

Each time you register a new card onto the app, a pre-authorisation charge will apply.And it only applies to bookings made by credit or debit cards, and GrabPay credits. Think of it as a deposit when you book a hotel room. Don't trash the room? And your deposit will be refunded.

Image via Grab

How much money Grab temporarily "holds" depends on the type of booking you made

According to its website, the amount "deducted" is calculated based on the vehicle type and the time of booking. But it is not charged until the trip is completed. Also, the "deduction" includes the basic fare shown on your booking screen and may include extra charges including tolls and other applicable charges. However, it applies to both successful and unsuccessful bookings.

So what happens to your pre-authorisation payment if your booking was unsuccessful or cancelled?

If you want to make another booking, Grab holds the payment for 30 minutes. If no booking is made within that timeframe, it will immediately cancel the authorisation hold.The app will then notify your bank to return the funds. Depending on your bank's policy, it may take up to 30 days. However, if you paid with GrabPay credits, the credits held will immediately be released back into your GrabPay wallet.

Image via KL Gadget Guy

So don't worry if your fare seemed like it cost extra, it may have just been the authorisation payment

With that said, if there are any missing funds and you didn't receive your money back within the timeframe, it'll be best to contact Grab or your issuing bank!

Likewise, if you've noticed cash deducted from your account when you pump petrol, this could explain why:

2 More Suspected Cases Of Wuhan Virus In Singapore Increases Total Cases To 5

Two more people who are suspected to have the mysterious Wuhan virus have been warded and isolated in Singapore on Friday, 17 January

According to Today, a 64-year-old man from China and a 61-year-old female Singapore resident were admitted to a hospital for further assessment and treatment after arriving in Singapore from Wuhan. As such, the tally of similar cases in the nation has increased to five.

Singapore's Ministry of Health (MOH) has said that the two people did not visit the the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market

According to Straits Times, the mysterious virus is said to have originated from the seafood wholesale market in Wuhan.Nevertheless, MOH has assured that both the man and woman are in stable condition.In the report, the ministry also said that investigations are being carried out to determine whether their illnesses are linked to the Wuhan disease cluster.

Previous cases of the virus included a three-year-old girl and a 26-year-old man, both of whom are Chinese nationals

While both of them had a travel history to Wuhan, Straits Times reported that they eventually tested negative for the virus.The third case in Singapore, reported by Today on Thursday, 16 January, is a 69-year-old Singaporean man who travelled to Wuhan. However, the man did not visit the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market and subsequent laboratory test results also revealed that his case was not linked to the pneumonia cluster in Wuhan.

While previously unidentified, the Wuhan virus has now been revealed as a new coronavirus

According to Taiwan News, a preliminary investigation has now identified the respiratory disease as a new type of coronavirus, known as 2019-nCoV, that circulate among animals.Today reported that in rare occasions, animal coronaviruses can evolve and infect people, and then spread from human to human in a similar way as the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).In the report, WHO explained that while most of the patients in Wuhan had some connection to the Huanan market, some patients did not go there, indicating that limited person-to-person spread may be occurring.

Makan di kedai mamak adalah pilihan terakhir bagi aku kalau dah takda kedai lain. Aku dah lama cancel kedai mamak sebab macam ni. Kadang kalau member ajak pun terpaksa, aku minum teh tarik je. Sebab teh tarik mamak sedap.— alfeedego (@alfiydego) December 23, 2022

Nasib baik dah lama berenti makan mamak. Berenti makan mamak pun sbb kuah roti canai ada bulu kerinting2. Mmg idak le lepas tu.— Zue Hasim (@ZueHasim) December 23, 2022

Kalau bahagian depan pun tikus boleh masuk, apatah lagi bahagian belakang :/

How The Victims Of Acid Attacks In India Are Redefining Fashion And Beauty

These brave Indian women are helping other victims of acid attacks to embrace their disfiguration that does not decrease their self-worth

Laxmi Saa, face of fashion brand Viva N Diva.

The social taboo of beauty and its meaning has become more inclusive over the past few years. Giving credit where it is due, the feminists are seen to be the forefront of changing people's acceptance of different body types. While big butts and no-gap thighs are no longer shunned like it used to, people still find it hard to accept people for who they are.Being comfortable in your own skin is a struggle, but these women bravely displays their scars as if it is a fashion statement in an attempt to show us that it is not impossible to feel beautiful. In the pursuit of happiness, confidence is key as having a more positive mindset help people accomplish more things in life. Take a look at how these women are doing just that.

Take for instance, Laxmi Saa. Attacked at the age of 15, she now represents a nationwide fashion brand and campaign.

Laxmi was splashed in the face with acid by a 32-year-old man when she turned down his marriage proposal.
Image via Viva N Diva

The apparel company Viva N Diva, for which Laxmi Saa is modelling, said it chose her out of a desire to change the outlook of people towards fashion and beauty by spreading awareness that beauty is beyond mere physical attributes.

        bbc.com

Ms Saa is using this opportunity to encourage women to regain their confidence despite their physical flaws and has become an advocate against the unregulated sale of selling acid.

"The problem is not just in being a victim but also your victimisation by the society." says Ms Saa
Image via BBC.com

Not only is she aiming to share her story with women, she also wants to send a message to the criminals who aim to destroy lives with their heinous acts. She wants them to know that women are capable of regaining their lives even after losing their beauty. Ms Saa has taken a step further than setting public agenda, and had submitted a petition in 2013 to the Supreme Court of India to set policies in place for the regulation of over-the-counter sale of acid.

Another victim, 18-year-old Reshma Qureshi stars in this inspiring make-up tutorial, showing that she is just a normal girl

In her video, Ms. Qureshi explains that it is as easy for attackers to buy concentrated acid at a market as it is for her to buy a tube of lipstick — and sometimes, it is cheaper.

        nytimes.com

This is no ordinary make-up tutorial as you can already see from the condition of her skin, Reshma addresses her struggle with beauty and the alarming accessibility of acid available in Indian markets.

Bharat Nayak of Make Love Not Scars explains the vision of the video campaign. “We wanted to create a contrast by using a topic as superficial as makeup to address a hard hitting issue of acid attacks,” said Mr Nayak. “There is so much stigma attached to this, that we felt that video of this kind can change people’s heart and make them feel survivors are as normal as they are.This video by the Make Love Not Scars group has over 1.5 million views up to date as they encourage people to sign the petition to put a stop to the sale of acid. You can also follow their hashtag #endacidsale to spread the word and keep up with their efforts.

Back in 2014, this photoshoot of these acid attack victims in India was one of the earlier campaigns to capture the world's attention

Clothes for the shoot was designed by Rupa (right).
Image via CNN

After Rupa was attacked at age 15 by her Stepmother, she lost her dream of becoming a fashion designer and couldn't even bear to look at herself in the mirror until 3 years after the incident. Now at age 22, she is given the opportunity to showcase her talent by designing and dressing all the girls in the photoshoot.

"When the photos got circulated in the media, people started calling to inquire about me, I felt so good. After the photo shoot I want to go out meet more people." says Rupa.

        cnn.com

Chanchal, along with her sister Sonam, were attacked after they protested when a group of boys were teasing them.
Image via CNN

Rahul Saharan, the photographer behind the photoshoot of Rupa and other victims took up the job to provide a harsh but true reality. "In our society, there are lots of things said to the girls -- you are not beautiful, you won't get married because your skin is not white and fair," Rahul said. "I want to change the perception of beauty -- tell people that the real beauty is not about having a fair skin.

Although laws exist, founder of Stop Acid Attacks, Alok Dixit admits that "We need the government to be active in enforcing the law to regulate acid sales."

There can be 1,000 acid attacks every year in India alone, mostly unreported according to Acid Survivors Trust International. Thats 1,000 people in India affected by this heinous crime.

We shouldn't forget men who are victims as much as women. Mr Dixit says that it is also often used in disputes and robberies, “because it’s easy to carry out and escape. In many cases, the perpetrator remains anonymous.”

Acid attacks: Telling only half the story
Image via avoiceformen.com

Since 2013, retailers need a license to sell acid and must maintain records — shared with the police to avoid a fine – of the quantity sold and names and addresses of buyers. To better regulate and track acid sales, the federal government is also preparing an online registration system for retailers and buyers.In reality, such policies don't make much of a difference as it is too hard to regulate with it being so readily accessible in unlicensed markets. Thats why discourse on this topic is necessary to bring attention to international forces that may be able to make a difference.

Acid attacks on local Malaysians are also prominent

A Dog's Ear Fell Off After Its Owner Dyed It Bright Pink

A Thai woman's dog recently suffered from an allergic reaction after its owner dyed its fur pink, which allegedly caused its ear to fall off

Image via Ampaipan Wachaporn/Facebook

In a Facebook post on Thursday, 7 February, the pet owner explained that her Pomeranian named Diffy went through a 40-minute foil wrap fur dyeing process at a salon the day before

The woman said that the salon owner initially told her that Diffy's ears would return to normal in a couple of days, after she noticed its ears beginning to droop.

However, Diffy began to show typical allergic symptoms such as itchiness, flakiness, and burned skin

"[When] the scabs from the wound fell off, her ear fell off as well," she explained, according to Coconuts Bangkok."There was too much dye on the dog's ear," she added in her Facebook post.

Image via Ampaipan Wachaporn/Facebook

Coconuts Bangkok checked with a veterinarian at Rama 8 Pet Hospital, who confirmed that Diffy's ear falling off could have been caused by a number of reasons. "The chemical could have burned the ear off, the salon could have done it too harshly, the dog could have developed a severe allergy to the dye," she explained, according to the report.

A dog named Violet nearly died last year after being dyed purple.

Live Science explained that human dye should never be used on dogs or other pets, as it contains toxic chemicals such as hydro peroxide and bleach. These pets would then become susceptible to burns, poisoning, and blindness, among other things.In October 2018, a dog named Violet suffered from burns, swollen eyes, and nearly died after its owner dyed its fur purple.

Sabahan Woman Allegedly Punched Her Would-Be Rapists, Then Ran Them Over With Her Car

Penampang police said robbery incident involving "karate champ" did not actually happen

Image via Facebook / imaginationnself Blogspot

A report by The Star Online says that the incident involving a 20-year-old female karate champ beating up two armed men until they were comatose is, indeed, fake. "We did not receive any report of such an incident," said Penampang police chief Deputy Supt Rosley Hobden when contacted earlier today, 6 March.Meanwhile, initial reports of the viral incident on Malaysian Digest and The Reporter have yet to be updated at the time of writing. SAYS has contacted the Facebook user profile believed to belong to the 20-year-old woman for further clarification.

6 MARCH, 7.00PM: It was previously alleged that on Saturday night, two armed men were beaten up after attacking a lone young woman who turned out to be a martial arts champion at Bandar Putatan, Sabah

Image via imaginationnself Blogspot

Malay news portal The Reporter reported that two men armed with knives had attempted to rob and rape a 20-year-old woman who was driving back from Penampang, Sabah at approximately 11.40pm on Saturday, 4 March. Both ended up in a coma instead.

According to a posting on Kelab Info Malaysia's Facebook page, the woman - identified as 20-year-old Alice Lien Hua - was driving home from Penampang when she realised she was being followed by two men on a bike

In relating the chronology of events to The Reporter, Alice said that she had pulled over near Sungai Petagas to let the men pass when she realised she was being tailed at Bandar Putatan. Then, they stopped in front of her car, alighted from the motorcycle, and demanded that she get out of the car.

In an unexpected move, she got out of her car. The men demanded for money and when she declined to give them any, one of the men dragged her to the nearby bushes with a meat cleaver at her throat.

According to Alice, the man warned her that he will slit her throat if she tried to do anything. At the same time, she saw that his partner had entered her car and started rummaging through her belongings.

Furious, Alice used her martial arts skills to defend herself against the man who'd attacked her until he was unconscious. She also beat up the man who entered her car.

One of the suspects was beaten unconscious.

"I was angry, so I used the martial arts I learned in Luyang two years ago to attack the man until he fell flat and unconscious on the floor," she told The Reporter. "I also attacked his partner who was in the car. He tried to escape but I managed to deflect and bashed his head into the back of the car. I wanted to put his head in the tyres but wasn't able to. The hood of the car was damaged after I bashed the man's head into it. I did that because my hands were in pain after punching the first man," she explained. According to Sabahan blog imaginationnself, she also rammed them with her car.

Some parts of Alice's car were dented where she rammed her attackers with.

After rendering both men unconscious, Alice contacted a friend from the Criminal Investigation Department of Inaman in Kota Kinabalu. Her comatose attackers were later brought to the ICU in KPJ Luyang.

Officials who were investigating the incident later found that the two men were Sulu migrants who had entered Sabah illegally and had no identification documents. Reports also indicate that the suspects might be drug addicts and had already woken up this morning, 6 March.

Alice, on the other hand, is reported to have suffered minor injuries and was brought to the Kota Kinabalu police station on the night of the incident. It is believed that she has already been released after making a police report.

Kelab Info Malaysia's Facebook post indicate that she suffered minor injuries to her fingers and sustained a punch to her forehead when she was defending herself from the attackers.


Tun M: We Can’t Send Zakir Naik Back Because Countries Don't Want Him

Malaysia is in a catch-22 situation when it comes to Zakir Naik, according to Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

According to Tun M, while Malaysia doesn't want anybody who expresses "extreme views about race relations" and about other religions, at the same time the country is finding it difficult to send the preacher away because other countries do not want him."We have a multiracial and multi-religious population in Malaysia. We don’t want anybody who comes up and expresses extreme views about race relations and about other religions," the Prime Minister was quoted as saying by theSundaily yesterday."So to that extent, we cannot have him, but on the other hand, it is difficult to send him anywhere else because many countries do not want to have him."He was speaking to Imran Garda of the Turkish news channel TRT World, which aired an interview with the Prime Minister on Monday, 29 July.

Image via theSundaily via Bernama

Tun M's remarks come as moderation advocate Anas Zubedy published an open letter yesterday, 31 July, in which he appealed to the controversial preacher to "leave Malaysia voluntarily"

In his open letter that was first published on his blog, Zubedy wrote that while he would like to thank Zakir Naik for "many of the universal messages of Islam" that he has shared over the years, his appeal for the preacher to voluntarily leave Malaysia is due to the fact that his presence in the country had a negative impact on non-Muslims' sentiments towards Islam and slowed down political revitalisation.The moderation advocate also said that "comparative religious debates do not work in Malaysia" where "non-Muslims are not allowed to counter your points when you give your views about their faith, let alone start a debate about Islam.""It is illegal [for non-Muslims] to preach to Muslims," Zubedy added."When a new upstart convert like Firdaus Wong (perhaps someone who is emulating you) suggests that it is easier to be a Muslim rather than a Buddhist, a Buddhist cannot really counter back with his argument to say otherwise," he wrote in the letter.

Considered a controversial preacher for his sermons, which have been branded as hate speech, Zakir Naik has been accused of inciting terrorism. He was formally charged with money laundering by India's Enforcement Directorate (ED) about three months back.

However, the preacher has continually denied the charges against him, calling the Indian Government's stand on him as "witch hunt".On Tuesday, Interpol ordered the deletion of his name from its database, thus giving him a clean chit in terror charges slapped against him by India’s National Investigating Agency (NIA). Zakir Naik said that the decision should not come as a surprise to the Indian agencies who know in their hearts that their charges are fictitious."You can't get Interpol to play your political, communal game."It needs proof of your claims and the reason why it continues to refuse a red corner notice is because the Indian agencies are unable to provide proof," the preacher said.He also quoted one of the central philosophical concepts of Hinduism, saying: "Satyameva Jayate, Nanritam", meaning that "truth alone triumphs, not falsehood."

Back in June, Tun Dr Mahathir reiterated the Government's refusal to deport Zakir Naik saying "he would not be accorded justice":

Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad reiterated yesterday, 10 June that Malaysia has the right to not allow Zakir ...

Khairy: UMNO Should Reclaim Its Centrist And Progressive Roots

Rembau Member of Parliament (MP) Khairy Jamaluddin said earlier today, 27 September, that his party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), should reclaim its "centrist" and "progressive" roots

Khairy was speaking to BFM in an interview today.

"UMNO should reclaim its original roots," Khairy told BFM today."The UMNO that I joined was the UMNO of Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tun Abdul Razak, a centrist party, a progressive party," he added, before saying that his party did not need to rely on race and religion to gain support.

The former Youth and Sports Minister also claimed that although UMNO had leaned towards right-wing politics once in a while, it used to have the "tendency to correct itself"

"It (UMNO) always had the tendency to come back to the centre, even during the days of (Tun Dr.) Mahathir (Mohamad) when he was the president of UMNO," Khairy said. "Unfortunately, since the last General Election, the present leadership of UMNO has decided that the way back to power is to consolidate support among the Malay community. It doesn't work like that," the Rembau MP added.

The ex-UMNO youth chief added that leaving the party is his last resort, as he plans to run for presidency again in 2021

"I would like to have another bite to the cherry (presidency) in another three years, and this time to win," Khairy said. Malay Mail reported that the Rembau MP was defeated by Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for the UMNO presidency post in the party election on 30 June. However, his decision depends on whether UMNO can stay true to its roots. "If it (UMNO) continues to morph into something unrecognisable, it will force many of us, not just myself, to rethink our future. I hope it doesn't get to that because I don't want to go there. UMNO is my house," Khairy added.

Malu & Hilang Keyakinan Diri, 3 Wanita Ini Kongsi Kisah Duka Pernah Derita Masalah Kulit

Artikel ini ditaja oleh Koolit.

Jangan dibuat main dengan masalah kulit. Bagi orang normal, mungkin anda rasa tak ada apa sangat perlu dirisaukan

Alah skin problem je pun! Tapi bagi mereka yang terpaksa berhadapan dengan masalah sama setiap hari, ia satu tekanan.

Gambar sekadar hiasan

Seperti tiga wanita ini, menderita masalah kulit sejak sekian lama menjadikan mereka mudah terasa hati.Hinggakan walaupun hanya anak kecil yang bertanya tentang keadaan kulit mereka, itu pun sudah boleh buat mereka sedih.

1. Sampai malu dengan suami – Qutreen

Nampak biasa, tapi siapa sangka disebalik senyuman manis wanita ini, dia sebenarnya ada menyembunyikan kisah luka.Apabila ditanya tentang masalah kulitnya, Qutreen menghela nafas panjang. Kata Qutreen, dahulu semuanya sempurna. Sejak kecil dia tak pernah ada masalah kulit.

Image via Qutreen

Malah dia boleh berbangga apabila rakan-rakan terdekat termasuk suami kerap memuji kecantikan kulitnya. Tapi segalanya berubah selepas melahirkan anak pertama, Qutreen jadi hilang keyakinan sehingga dengan suami sendiri pun malu untuk bersemuka.Perubahan hormon selepas kelahiran anak sulung membuatkan kulit Qutreen berubah mendadak. Ia semakin kering dan sensitif. Kulit tangannya pula menjadi kasar sehingga apabila bersentuhan tangan dengan suami pun dia akan cuba mengelak. Kadang-kadang Qutreen menangis sendirian kerana tertekan.

2. Pernah segan nak keluar rumah – Hanis

Sebagai wanita bekerjaya, kulit yang bersih dan cantik sudah tentu jadi aset utama. Apatah lagi bila nak bersemuka dengan majikan dan klien, segalanya perlu sempurna. Mengikut cerita Hanis pula, dia memang dah lama menderita masalah kulit kering.

Image via Hanis

Kulitnya menjadi bertambah kering dan kasar bila berada dalam bilik yang mempunyai penghawa dingin atau terdedah pada cuaca sejuk serta lembab terlalu lama. Ini menyebabkan kulit Hanis mudah gatal-gatal dan meninggalkan kesan kemerahan yang ketara.Keadaan ini pernah memaksa Hanis untuk ‘berkurung’ di rumah dan dia juga sanggup mengambil cuti tahunan kerana segan untuk ke tempat kerja. Sejak menderita masalah kulit, Hanis mengakui jadi lebih sensitif. Walaupun ada yang hanya sekadar memandangnya lama dari jauh atau anak sendiri yang bertanyakan tentang kulitnya, dia mudah menangis dan merajuk.

3. Sedih tengok keadaan anak – Suriyana

Siapa tak susah hati tengok anak tergaru-garu tengah malam. Paling sedih bila nak mandi pun anak menangis sebab kulit luka dan pedih. Ibu kepada dua orang cahaya mata ini menceritakan bahawa anak sulungnya sebelum ini tak pernah ada masalah kulit sensitif sewaktu bayi. Tapi bila berumur 3 tahun, kulit anaknya mula menjadi kering teruk dan kemerahan terutama pada bahagian leher.

Bila ditanya tentang ikhtiar rawatan, Suriyana bercerita dengan panjang lebar tentang usahanya pernah mendapatkan khidmat rawatan tradisional dan berjumpa pakar kulit. Malah, sebelum ini dia juga sanggup menghabiskan banyak wang ringgit semata-mata untuk membeli pelbagai jenis produk tapi malangnya tiada hasil. Lebih menyentuh hati, Suriyana mengakui pernah terfikir untuk berhenti kerja dan meninggalkan kerjayanya kerana risau melihat keadaan anak.

Kini mereka dah temui puncanya

Ya, itu cerita dahulu. Sekarang ketiga-tiga mereka boleh menarik nafas lega. Penderitaan masalah kulit yang dahulunya pernah menekan emosi diri dan keluarga kini tiada lagi.Berkongsi kebaikan dari pengalaman yang hampir sama, ketiga wanita ini tak lokek bercerita bahawa masalah kulit yang dialami mereka sebelum ini sebenarnya berpunca daripada salah satu faktor besar iaitu tekanan oksidatif yang berasal dari persekitaran dan radikal bebas di dalam badan kita.

Image via Google

Tekanan oksidatif jadi punca kulit sensitif

Haa.. anda tahu tak tekanan oksidatif adalah ketidakseimbangan pengeluaran radikal bebas dan kemampuan tubuh mengatasi kesan berbahaya melalui peneutralan oleh antioksidan. Inilah salah satu faktor utama yang buatkan kulit jadi kering dan gatal.Gaya hidup yang menekan seperti Hanis, perubahan hormon seperti Qutreen, dan radikal bebas dalam tubuh sebenarnya boleh menyebabkan kelembapan semula jadi kulit hilang dan mengakibatkan ketidakselesaan. Hasilnya kulit menjadi sensitif, kekeringan dan ada ketikanya boleh berlaku iritasi.Kulit juga merupakan organ tubuh yang bersentuhan secara langsung dengan segala hal di luar badan. Ia menjadi lebih rosak serta sensitif apabila kerap terdedah dengan pelbagai keadaan misalnya cuaca, sinar matahari atau pencemaran. Kalau anda tak tahu jom kita sama-sama jadi saintis kejap!Nak tahu macam mana keadaan kulit anda bila terdedah pada tekanan oksidatif? Haa.. jom tonton video di bawah ini:

Amacam guys, dah nampak kan macam mana potongan epal yang pada awalnya segar dan cantik bertukar menjadi kehitaman selepas terdedah kepada tekanan oksidatif. Macam tu lah juga kulit kita tau!Berbalik pada kisah Qutreen, Hanis dan Suriyana. Ketiga-tiga mereka sebenarnya dah jumpa penyelesaian untuk masalah mereka tau.

Taman Mutiara MRT Assaulter Was Shaving His Head Bald When The Police Found Him

The 26-year-old Taman Mutiara MRT assaulter, who was arrested by the police on 18 February, was reportedly caught while shaving his head bald

Image via Bernama News Channel

According to Malay Mail, Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said that the man was nabbed in his flat located in Taman Cheras. "He shaved his head to avoid being recognised. He had a full head of hair when the robbery was committed last Thursday (14 February)," Mazlan was quoted as saying by theSun yesterday, 19 February.

The man also switched off the lights in his flat to 'trick' the police into thinking that he was not home

"He only had the lights on whenever he showered or ate," the police chief revealed. "We managed to identify the suspect and his motorcycle after retrieving a CCTV recording from a convenience store he had robbed prior to the lift incident," he added.According to Mazlan, the 26-year-old had held up a Bangladeshi at the convenience store he robbed on 14 February before escaping with 11 packets of cigarettes. Fifteen minutes later, he assaulted the woman at the Taman Mutiara MRT station.

The man, who worked as an air-conditioning technician, confessed to eight other crimes following his arrest

"The suspect had confessed to eight cases of robberies, snatch thefts, and break-ins around Cheras that were perpetrated alone," Mazlan said, according to Malay Mail."He has been active in crime since 2014. He can even turn violent and aggressive if his demands are not met," the police chief added.The eight cases do not include his four other offences that were already in the police record.

Along with the man's arrest, the police seized multiple items from the 26-year-old's flat

The items include:- 19 cellphones,- Various bank cards,- The t-shirt he wore on the day of the robbery,- Hand tools,- Cutting machines, and- His motorcycle. The man, who is a member of Gang 08, also tested positive for ecstasy and meth when he was nabbed. He has been remanded until 25 February to facilitate investigations under Section 394 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt in committing robbery.

[TIPS] Ini 5 Petua Untuk Menyerikan Kembali Bibir Anda Menjadi Warna Semulajadi

Sesiapa sahaja di sini pasti ingin kan bibir merah bak delima dan nampak tidak kusam atau pucat bukan?

Warna bibir yang hitam dan gelap terjadi disebabkan oleh kesan bahang matahari, kesan merokok dan banyak lagi. Oleh itu, ramai perempuan yang tidak yakin untuk keluar dan perlu memakai gincu atau lip gloss untuk memastikan bibir sentiasa nampak cantik. Namun semestinya ramai yang menginginkan bibir kembali merah seperti sediakala dan tidak perlu berususah payah untuk mencalit pelembap bibir dan seumpamanya lagi bukan? Jadi, anda jangan risau kerana di sini kami akan memberikan lima cara untuk mengembalikan warna bibir supaya nampak lebih berseri dan menarik.

1. Banyakkan minum air kosong

Image via Astro Awani

Hal ini adalah paling mudah dan tidak perlu bersusah payah untuk mendapatkannya. Anda hanya perlu memastikan anda minum banyak air kosong untuk membantu penghidratan dan pengedaran darah. Ini kerana kedua-dua proses ini adalah kunci kepada petua merahkan bibir secara semulajadi.Ia kerana kawasan bibir lah yang paling terkesan jika anda tidak minum air dengan cukup. Oleh sebab itu, pastikan anda minum air untuk elakkan bibir daripada kering dan potensi untuk jilat bibir pun tipis. Sekurang-kurangnya cuba minum air kosong sebanyak dua liter.

2. Gosok bibir dengan berus gigi

Image via Sinar

Cara yang seterusnya adalah anda boleh gunakan ubat gigi untuk diletakkan pada bibir seperti skrub.Anda hanya perlu calitkan sedikit pada bibir sebelum menggosok gigi. Gunakan berus gigi untuk membersihkan bibir anda sewaktu membasuhnya selepas 3-4 minit. Proses ini akan membuang sel-sel mati dan menggalakkan pembinaan kolagen, menjadikan bibir anda nampak lebih mungil.

3. Skrub bibir guna gula/vaseline

Image via Keluarga

Fungsi skrub bibir persis seperti skrub muka dimana ia membantu membuang sel kulit mati pada bibir. Skrub boleh juga dibuat di rumah dengan menggunakan hanya dua bahan. Dua bahan tersebut adalah gula dan madu atau vaseline. Caranya adalah mix kan gula dengan madu atau vaseline sampai sebati. Gosok campuran tersebut secara perlahan dan lembut pada bibir lalu biarkan selama lima minit dan jadikannya seperti mask.

4. Madu

Cara yang lain untuk memerahkan bibir kembali adalah dengan menggunakan madu. Sapukan pada bibir hingga rata dan biarkan ia meresap pada bibir selama 15 hingga 20 minit.  Kemudian, basuhkan ia dengan air biasa atau air suam. Lakukan rutin ini sebanyak tiga atau empat kali dalam seminggu untuk mendapatkan hasil yang menakjubkan!

5. Pakai lipbalm sebelum pakai gincu atau lipmatte

Image via Lazada

Sebelum memakai lipstick atau lipmatte, anda seharusnya apply dahulu lipbalm kerana ia mampu melindungi kulit bibir kita daripada terkena bahan-bahan lipmatte yang boleh membuatkan bibir kita kering. Antara lipbalm yang anda boleh gunakan adalah vaseline dan nivea.

Ringkas dan bahan-bahannya juga amat mudah didapati bukan? Jadi, apa lagi mari sama-sama amalkan! :D

Something fun that won’t break the bank, and that all of us can do from the comfort of our own homes :D

6. Build your own mini terrarium and flaunt that green thumb!

Image via Rural Sprout

Living indoors shouldn’t have to deprive you of gardening. If you don’t have a garden, or if you live in a high-rise building and want to tend to some low-maintenance shrubbery, a terrarium or a mossarium would be your best bet. A terrarium is a miniature garden where the plants and the soil in the terrarium release water vapour. The vapour is then collected onto the walls of the vessel and trickles down to the soil, kinda like your every own mini-ecosystem. You can use a mason jar or any clean glass container as your holder.For an open terrarium, it's best to opt for plants that are suited for drier conditions like succulents and cacti. A closed terrarium would be humid and moist, so moss and ferns would be a great choice.

Estimated budgetMason jar/glass container ~ RM5Gravel ~ RM2Crushed gardening charcoal ~ RM5High-quality potting soil ~ RM3Succulents ~ RM5 - RM10Moss ~ RM20DIY terrarium kit (if you malas to purchase them separately :p) ~ RM55 - RM95Estimated total: RM45 - RM95

7. Have a mini-golf tournament at home

Image via Decathlon

For all you golf enthusiasts out there, instead of going to the driving range, you can keep your game from getting rusty by doing drills using your own golf set or any household items to keep your swing consistent. Besides that, if you have some space to work with, you can even set up a small green area using cups as holes and markers to work on your short game and distance control. Use masking tape as markers to help shape the area for each hole. Get some soft golf balls while you're at it - you wouldn't want to break anything at home :pEstimated budgetFoam golf balls ~ RM25Putting set ~ RM39Cups ~ RM5Masking tape ~ RM5ORGolf hitting tent ~ RM60 - RM95Estimated total: RM5 - RM95

8. Buy a batik painting kit online and unleash your inner artist

Image via @mossyarts (Instagram)

Staying at home all the time can really drain your creative side, so what better way to get inspired than by doing some art? Batik painting can also be really therapeutic, and we think it's a really good way to soothe any anxieties that you may have during these times. There are many online shops that sell pre-printed batik cloth with wax motifs for a really good price. The kits even come with dyes and brushes, so you’ll definitely have fun toning, mixing, and matching the colours to your liking.

Estimated budgetDIY batik painting kit ~ RM20 - RM50Estimated total: RM50

9. Two words: NERF Guns

A NERF Water Gun battle is super fun to play if you've got kids at home. Just design an obstacle course, ranging from simple to complicated, and build your battlefield :D If you don't have water guns, try making your own water bombs using balloons.Don't wanna get wet? Set up a target practice area at home using tins, cans, and other objects. Then shoot them down with a NERF gun.Estimated budgetNERF Guns ~ RM13 - RM94Vest ~ RM84Bullets ~ RM4 - RM20NERF Water Guns ~ RM55 - RM99Balloons ~ RM7Estimated total: RM50 - RM99

Finding stuff to do at home doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. All it takes is some creativity and some company - be it in-person or virtually :D

But if there's one thing we can't live without when we're stuck at home, it's our smartphones. That's why Celcom is rolling out the all-new iPhone 12 plan that you can get from just RM99 a month! Psst... that's not even the best part.
