Circumcision Turns Into Nightmare After Doctor Cuts All The Skin Off An 8-Year-Old's Penis

A circumcision has recently caused serious complications to the privates of an eight-year-old boy

Harian Metro reported that on 18 December, Muhammad Adly Hadi Adzrul Effendie was admitted to the Ipoh Hospital after his genitals started to swell.The boy's mother, Rosnah Musa, said that they took him to a private clinic for the procedure on 13 December. There, he was circumcised using the clamp method.

Image via Harian Metro

Initially, the parents noticed changes to the boy's penis and saw that it appeared shorter as well as tilted to the left.
"My son would complain about the pain and would cry every time he had to urinate," the mother said.

The woman wrote about the ordeal on Facebook but the post has since been removed. Rosnah explained to the Malay daily, "The situation worried me and my husband because it was not normal. We wanted to stay positive but we started feeling uneasy when Muhammad Adly's penis started to swell on the third day after the procedure, once the clamp was removed at the clinic."She added that the doctor prescribed some medicine for her son but his condition worsened and his penis swelled even more and started to bleed."At the time, my husband and I noticed that his privates tenggelam (sink) so without wasting time, we took him straight to the Seri Manjung Hospital," she said.

Image via Harian Metro

Medical checks found that his genitals had sunk into the body and the skin had been removed entirely.
The boy had to be anaesthetised in order for the doctor to clean blood clots from his privates.

Muhammad Adly then saw more complications and he was transferred to the Ipoh Hospital for a skin grafting surgery. "My husband and I asked the specialist and they informed us that even if he heals now, there is a likelihood that Muhammad Adly might need another surgery in three to four years. Another possibility is that his defect may be permanent and of course, we're worried about his future as an adult," Rosnah said.She also added that she has confronted the doctor at the clinic but he stayed quiet without giving a concrete explanation.Following the incident, the family has filed a police report at the Sitiawan police station."We will let the police investigate before taking further action," Rosnah said. She also implores other parents to learn from her ordeal and urged them to be careful so they will not face the same situation.

In October, a woman in KL died following a liposuction surgery of her arms:

                23-Year-Old Bride-To-Be Dies At The Hands Of Unlicensed Beautician In Cheras

Siew signed up for liposuction surgery of her arms in preparation of her wedding.

The Fairytale-Like Story Behind This Homeless Man Who Just Launched His First App

This aspiring entrepreneur proves that sometimes the only difference between a homeless person and a tech innovator is an opportunity

About four months ago 37-year-old Leo Grand was homeless on the streets of New York, and by all accounts, he had few prospects. He didn't know the first thing about computer programming.

        mashable.com

Image via businessinsider.com

He was living on the streets of New York City in late August, when a complete stranger approached, offering a choice between two months of coding lessons and $100 in cash.

        bizjournals.com

Grand opted for the lessons, and 3,621 lines of code later, he has released his first mobile app.

        businessinsider.com

Today, he launched location-based carpooling service Trees for Cars—his first ever app, made from 3,621 lines of code that he personally wrote

The app — an environmentally conscious carpool organizer called "Trees for Cars" — went live on the App Store just after 12:00 a.m. ET Tuesday, around the same time it went live for Android users.

        heraldsun.com.au

The app a homeless man built. Leo Grand's remarkable story of how he learnt code on the streets is inspiring.
Image via news.com.au

Trees for Cars is a mobile application that aims to save the environment by helping users carpool to their destinations, and Grand programmed the entire thing himself from the streets of Manhattan with just 16 weeks of coding lessons.

        slate.com

It also provides information on how much CO2 the user is saving with each ride which further encourages environmental awareness, creating within the app a healthy competition amongst users to save the most CO2.

        latimes.com

In August, Grand was approached by Patrick McConlogue, a developer at educational search engine Noodle with an offer: $100 cash or two months of coding lessons for an hour daily

Grand chose the lessons and after more than three months of work—a time that included having a laptop confiscated by police, getting workspace donated from Noodle founder and Princeton Review founder John Katzman, and taking up five weeks worth of a Noodle employee's time—the app is now for sale.

        yahoo.com

Mashable reporter Fran Berkman was with Grand and McConlogue at midnight when the app went live:
“This is going to change my life in a magnificent way," Grand told Mashable shortly after the launch.

        mashable.com

"It is by far the most rewarding experience of my life," McConlogue said.
Grand, who is still homeless, told Mashable he hopes this app will lead to job opportunities, and that his first application would go to Google, right up the street.

        slate.com

All of the money the developers receive from this app goes to Grand, who will use it to help him further his programming education.

6 Things About Getting Busy Between The Sheets You May Not Know

SEX. It's a taboo topic, and people are usually quite malu to talk about it. This leaves a whole lot of people feeling curious and confused.

So, everyone just makes up their own conclusion, and that's why there are so many rumours surrounding sex.

"Eiyerrr, why you want to talk about this? I'm scared to talk about it. Go away.""Eh, please don't have sex. My friend's uncle's cousin-twice-removed's brother did it and he got an infection."

Image via GIPHY

But, we should normalise sex education. It's actually very, very important, because many young people have misconceptions about it.

STIs and contraception can be a very daunting subject, especially to the uninitiated, but don't worry! There's no need to sweat about rocking the bed on your malam pertama, hehe.

We're here to debunk six misconceptions that you may have surrounding sex! You're welcome :p

Misconception 1: "An STI test? For what? I don't have to do one because I don't have multiple partners."

Image via Pinterest

PSA: Anyone who engages in unprotected intercourse, be it oral, vaginal, or anal CAN contract a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It’s always best to go for a yearly check up as sometimes, you might not even know that you’ve contracted an STI, even if you’re in a monogamous relationship. Some STI symptoms don’t show up for weeks or months, or they don’t show up at all - because you could be asymptomatic.Oh, by the way, natural growing bacteria at intimate areas can also cause STIs. So, it's not really about sleeping around and catching things, it’s just our bodies.Yikes!

Misconception 2: "No need to worry about contraceptives lah, that's the guy's responsibility, right?"

Image via Freepik

Getting intimate is a decision made on BOTH ends, so contraception is something that both parties should be responsible for also lah (:There's no need to feel shy in asking for, purchasing, or using contraception, because everyone deserves to be safe and protected. While there are other options that help prevent unwanted pregnancy, using a rubber barrier is the only way to stop the spread of STIs and keep both of you safe.

Misconception 3: "As long as he pulls out in time, I confirm won't get pregnant"

Image via ABC

As long as you have unprotected intercourse, you’ll always be at risk of pregnancy. There are a few reasons why the pull out method is ineffective.Firstly, it's not easy to predict ejaculation timing, and it only takes one slip up to potentially cause pregnancy. Plus, even pre-cum might contain a small percentage of sperm. So even if your partner successfully pulls out every single time y'all do it, there's still a chance of pregnancy.

Misconception 4: "It's just oral sex, so no need to wrap it up lah!"

Image via How Stuff Works

So, you don't wanna wear rubber while getting a blowjob? HELLO. CANNOT. 'Wrapping it up' isn't only for penetrative sex because you can still transmit STIs orally, like gonorrhea, genital herpes and syphillis. The best way to prevent the spread of any STI would be to place a barrier between the genitalia and mouth, so that there's no passing of infected bodily fluids.There's flavoured contraceptives too, ya know? Banana, orange, strawberry, what's your pick?

Misconception 5: "Women feel less satisfaction"

Image via Fine Dining Lovers

Two words. Ribbed, lubricated. The added texture from the ridges in ribbed or dotted rubbers can lead to greater enjoyment and extra sensation for women (; Come on, guys. Ladies wanna feel good too, y'know? :pLubrication is also key because it prevents any form of discomfort during intercourse, and can help keep the rubber from tearing. All that friction may cause the rubber to get damaged, and that’s very bad news.

Misconception 6: "Contraceptives kacau the moment and spoil the mood lah"

Image via Ideas

It doesn't have to! Practice makes perfect, ya know? Familiarise yourself with the 'Tear, Pinch, and Roll' technique so it'll be like second nature to you. Refer to tutorials and practice in the dark too. Soon, you'll be able to get protection on quickly and correctly every time.

At the end of the day, everyone should protect themselves while getting intimate, because the risk of contracting STIs should be prevented

‘Bagging your tool’ is the most effective way to combat STIs, and can be used as a means of family planning.

This is not the tool to bag your tool.
Image via Reader's Digest

“But, I lose sensation when I wrap it up”

Thinner wraps are meant to maximise pleasure, so you don’t have to compromise sensation for anything. Dotted and ribbed rubbers will help women feel good, so, to all the men reading this, don’t worry! The thinness of the sheath still remains the same, so you can still feel everything that’s going on down there (;

Remember, protection and health > everything else!

Image via GIPHY

For over 80 years, Durex has always championed safe sex

Using the finest quality raw materials, every batch is tested meticulously as they are inflated with air to test their strength.International standards demand that every rubber can contain 18 litres of air in this ‘air burst test’. A Durex rubber will typically expand to hold 40 litres of air without bursting. Wow!Every pack is also dermatologically tested, so you can rest assured that you won't start itching down there when you're just getting into action. Lastly, samples are also filled with water to make sure they don’t leak. Around two million tests are carried out per month and if one sample fails the quality control examination, the whole batch doesn't make the cut.

You know what's even more exciting? Durex is holding a contest from 1 August to 15 September 2020!

And they've got amaaazing prizes up for grabs! Here are some of the things you could bring home:

108 participants stand a chance to win prizes worth up to RM25,000:1.  Grand prize for eight (8) winners, each consisting of the following:      1 x unit of Nintendo Switch worth RM2,0002.   Consolation prize for one hundred (100) winners, each consisting of the following:      1x unit of Durex Mystery Gift worth RM100

Now, you can add more fun to that Netflix and chill sesh you've got going (;

Remember Rayani Air? Apparently, The Shariah-Compliant Airline Is Coming Back!

Rayani Air, Malaysia's first Sharia-Compliant airline that ceased to operate within four months earlier this year in April, is coming back

At least, that's what its founder Ravi Alagendrran's latest Facebook post claims.In a Facebook post on 7 August, Sunday night, at 08:48pm, Ravi shared an image collage of a Rayani Air flight and himself in it, captioned: "We are coming back soon."

Screenshot of Ravi's Facebook post.
Image via Ravi Alagendrran/Facebook

There wasn't any other detail provided with the Facebook post

A the time of writing this story, the post had 2K Reactions and was shared more than 170 times with over 350 comments, most of them voicing their support to Ravi.

However, in a separate status update posted in BM on his Facebook profile, at 08:32pm Sunday night, the Rayani Air founder writes:

"Dear customers,We apologise for being unable to refund ticket payments despite our best efforts.With the withdrawal of ASL and AOC licenses, no investor wants to co-operate with us.The one investor who had committed to transfer the funds by 31 July 2016 to process the refund has now unexpectedly withdrawn.However, we are working hard for the DCA and MAVCOM to provide us with a second chance to operate. With this second chance, an investor will acquire ownership of the company (Rayani Air) with a new management team to improve service.While we cannot promise a date as to when it can be done, be certain, though, our priority is our obligation to the customer.We hope that you would be patient and not come to the (Rayani Air) office as our office will remain close in the near future. We will make an official announcement as soon as we get a positive news.Thank you."NOTE: The above is a Google translation of the original post, which was posted in BM.

While sincere, there's something about Ravi's latest Facebook post regarding Rayani Air's comeback plan that doesn't make sense

The thing is, the "second chance" Ravi is talking about was actually reported by The Star Online a full two months ago in June this year, after the Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) and Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) had revoked Rayani Air's Air Service Licence (ASL) and Air Operator's Certificate (AOC). In fact, his above post in BM sounds very similar in tone and wording to what he said in June.In its report, dated 13 June, The Star Online had quoted Ravi saying:"The revocations came at the peak of our negotiations with investors for the acquisition of equity in Rayani Air in the realisation that the present owners and their management are no longer fit to revive the airline."Back then, he had said the "qualified and strong management team" of its new investors would revive and manage Rayani Air "much better than us", adding that the revival of the airline is "vital" in resolving the impacts from its "financial illness", such as employees' salaries, ticket refunds, and other liabilities."To this end, Rayani Air will appeal to the MAVCOM and the DCA to give the second chance for a new investor to revive and manage the airline."

We are not really sure what's going on here, as to why would Ravi post the same message that he was quoted saying back in June

Image via Giphy

We will keep you posted as and when we find more about Rayani Air's comeback plan.

Back in April, a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation between Ravi and the Captain of the airline was shared on Facebook by one of Ravi's friend. It showed the Rayani Air founder pleading for the pilots to fly for the sake of the airline's staff and their family:

Around 300 Najib Supporters Stood Outside Istana Negara Requesting For His Royal Pardon

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

Around 300 people gathered outside Istana Negara yesterday afternoon, 24 August, to urge the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to grant a royal pardon to Datuk Seri Najib Razak

The group, who called themselves 'Pertubuhan Jalinan Perpaduan Negara Malaysia', told reporters that they are seeking royal intervention from Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah into the former prime minister's corruption conviction in the SRC scandal.According to The Star, the group's leader Syed Muhammad Imran Syed Abdul Aziz had reportedly submitted a memorandum to palace officials.

Image via Sinar Harian

Besides the royal pardon, the group had several requests to free Najib from serving his 12-year prison sentence that was upheld by the Federal Court this week

The group wants Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki and Attorney-General Idrus Harun to provide evidence to the King that there was an alleged conflict of interest involving judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, who had meted out Najib's conviction and sentence in the High Court on 28 July 2020.According to Harian Metro, the supporters also claimed it was unfair that Najib's bid to adduce further evidence in the recent trial in the Federal Court was rejected.The majority of the supporters arrived at the Istana decked in black clothes at about 2pm and dispersed peacefully after the press conference was over.

Image via AP/Harian Metro

On the other hand, the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) has started an online petition requesting the Agong to reject any opportunity to pardon Najib

As of writing, the petition, supporting that Najib should serve his sentence as he had already been given due process of a fair trial, has garnered over 77,000 signatures."As a nation, we must not tolerate corruption or the corrupt, whoever that person may be. Let Najib serve his 12 years in jail and pay the RM210 million fine to serve as an example to leaders who think they can abuse their position," read the appeal.

The politician was sent to jail on Tuesday, 23 August, after the Federal Court denied his appeal in the SRC International case:

                Najib Goes To Jail After Federal Court Upholds His Guilty Verdict

The decision comes after a desperate, last-ditch attempt made by Najib and his lawyers to get the Chief Justice to re...

Meanwhile, Najib has 14 days to file a pardon to keep his status as the Pekan member of parliament:

A pardon will wipe clean Najib's legal punishment in the SRC case and could allow him to contest in elections.

Hungry Ghost Festival is just around the corner – the time of the year where millions of Chinese people come together to burn paper offerings to their ancestors

Image via Rice Paper Kite

It's a time when ghosts and spirits, including those of deceased ancestors, are allowed to roam the mortal realm.During this festival, living family members offer prayers and burn paper items for the deceased and other wandering ghosts.Some of the most common items they burn include money, houses, gold bars, and other offerings made completely out of paper.

With this pandemic still ongoing though, taking safety precautions is important for the living. And apparently, even for the dead.

On 16 August, Chris Goh posted an image on Complaint Singapore's Facebook page of paper face masks being sold at a store.The caption reads: "Ghost month coming soon, anyone need mask can PM me."

According to Mothership, the face masks were spotted at a store in Hong Kong and the Chinese words on the packaging roughly translates to 'ancestor's masks'. Each mask apparently costs SGD10 (RM30).

Naturally, people began responding with witty comments

So much for rest in peace.

Face masks are nothing compared to these other paper offerings:

PM: Parliament Will Reconvene During Phase 3 Of National Recovery Plan Between Sept & Oct

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

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced that the Parliament will reconvene when the nation enters Phase 3 of the COVID-19 National Recovery Plan

Muhyiddin made the announcement during a special live address at 5pm today, 15 June. He revealed the government's four-phase plan to steer out of the pandemic during the live broadcast."I would like to give a commitment that the Parliamentary sitting can be held in this Phase (Phase 3) which is around September or October in accordance with strict SOPs (standard operating procedures)," he said."This is my position from the beginning that the system of Parliamentary democracy can function again at the appropriate time, that is, once the COVID-19 cases are under control and we have almost achieved herd immunity.""I will continue to uphold the principles of Parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy. No parties should deliberately cause unrest and confusion among the people to interfere with the main task of the government to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic."

However, to enter Phase 3 of the National Recovery Plan, the country will have to meet several criteria

According to him, the total daily COVID-19 cases will have to be lower than 2,000, 40% of the population will have to be vaccinated, and available beds at hospitals' intensive care units (ICU) should be sufficient.He believed that Malaysia can achieve Phase 3 by the end of August."During this Phase 3, all sectors of the economy will be allowed to operate except activities listed on the negative list, such as activities that have a high risk of spreading COVID-19 or involving large crowds," he explained."The economic sector will be allowed to operate at 80% capacity as per Phase 2, and social activities including education and certain sports can start to open up in stages."Earlier, he said for the country to move from one stage to another, Malaysia will have to meet the different requirements.Below is a brief breakdown of the COVID-19 exit plan:

Image via SAYS (Facebook)

Muhyiddin added the full SOPs for each phase will be announced by the National Security Council (MKN) in the future.He said he expects the country to return to normalcy by the end of 2021.

9 Money Goals You Should Achieve Before You Turn 30

When we were kids, didn't 30-year-olds look like legit adults? So how is it that when we're 20-something, we still seem so... noob?

Image via We Heart It

It's no secret that finance is probably the hardest part of adulting, and the key is to take it a step at a time. Challenge yourself to complete this basic checklist and you'll be a full-fledged grown-up by the time you hit 30:

1. Stop living under your parents' ketiaks

It goes without saying that living on your own teaches you A LOT about being independent, and it's a great idea to start carving out your own life by your mid 20s. Being exposed to crucial life skills like managing bills, maintaining a good living space and dealing with property agents will give you an edge when dealing with life's curveballs as the years go by.

Image via The Odyssey

2. Pay your bills like a total pro - in full and on time

You'll want to be eligible for big purchases like a house somewhere down the road, and you're gonna need a good credit history to do that. How you pay your bills will affect your track record, so work out a system to make sure no deadlines quietly slip by. If you're afraid of forgetting, use your bank account's auto-pay feature.As much as possible, pay off your bills in full. That leftover unpaid bit may look small for one month, but if that habit continues every month, you'll be faced with a huge daunting sum that suddenly seems impossible to pay off.

Image via The Daily Touch

3. Have a good protection plan

Insurance isn't sexy, we get it, but it is necessary. Even if you're covered by your company's plan, it's still important to have your own policy for two basic reasons: corporate coverage is generally pretty minimal and you'll only be entitled to it as long as you have that job. You can get decent coverage from as low as RM200 a month, and you'll be glad you have a kickass protection plan if ever your body decides to pull off majorly uncool things like, you know, getting cancer.

Image via SpoonTheGreater/Imgur

4. Start an investment portfolio

"Save while you're young!" It's all your parents ever tell you, and for perfectly good reason. By your 20s you should already be keeping up the habit of putting aside some money every month, and having a an investment plan that extends beyond your basic savings account. For something relatively simple, you could take a look at unit trusts. If you're up for something a little more hardcore, try your hand at stocks and warrants. Your older, richer self will thank you for all the cash you'll end up with in the years to come.

Image via xoNecole

5. Spend only what you can afford with your credit card

While spending responsibly with your credit card can help with your track record, spending more than your means is a one-way ticket to bankruptcy. We're not exaggerating either: The Malaysian Department of Insolvency (MDI) states that bankruptcy is on an alarming rise, with over 47% of them being young adults between 18 to 35 years old. Only consider getting a credit card if you can commit to being disciplined with your spending. As tempting as it is to splurge on an unnecessary holiday or a new pair of shoes, if you don't have the cash to pay it off in full, don't even think about it. Paying your bills on time and in full is especially important when it comes to credit cards. Knowing their scary interest rates of 18% and upwards, there's absolutely nothing fun about catching up on the compounded leftover amount.

Image via Reaction GIFs

6. Discuss with your partner about money

The fight over finances is inevitable; do it now. It's easier to sort out your differences early on, and it sets clear expectations throughout the relationship. Figure out what works for the both of you: Is the go-to makan plan to go Dutch? Is one person dedicated to take care of the utilities bill, while the other handles the rest every month? Yup, not the most romantic conversation to have, but you'll be glad you did ;)

Image via courtabort8/Photobucket

7. Join the side income movement

Almost everyone's an Insta-preneur or a freelance photographer these days and if you've been wanting to have a side business of your own too, there's no better time to start than in your 20s. Having a supplementary income would make it easier to achieve your savings goals and plus, it's a great way to work on your passions too!

Image via The Campus Crop

8. Contribute to your favourite charity

One of the most rewarding parts about having money is being able to contribute to those in need. Do your part to help causes that mean a lot to you. Whether it's RM500 or RM50, your donations will go a long way to help your community so set some aside for your favourite charities.

Image via the-man-in-the-mirror.tumblr.com

9. Don't forget to file your income tax every year

With income tax filing being available online now, there's no excuse not to do it ;) Be sure to take advantage of the new updates to Malaysia's tax reliefs following Budget 2017: - Lifestyle tax relief: Purchase of computers, sports equipments and reading materials, including printed newspapers, smartphones and tablets, internet subscriptions, and gym memberships. - Breastfeeding tax relief: Purchase of breast-feeding equipment. - Early education tax relief: Individual taxpayers who enroll their children (aged 6 or below) in registered pre-schools and nurseries.Additionally, signing up for life and medical insurance and contributing to registered charities are both tax deductible too, giving you even more reasons to complete your financial goals ;)

All the best achieving your #lifegoals!

Are You Actually Paying A Lot More Income Tax If You Go For The 8% EPF Cut?

PM Najib Razak announced a revised Budget 2016 with 11 recalibrated measures on 28 January, one of which dictated that employees' EPF contribution will be reduced from 11% to 8% of their monthly salaries from March 2016

Image via Saw Siow Feng / The Malay Mail Online

According to Najib, who is also Finance Minister, the reduced contributions will add an estimated total of RM8 billion worth of spending income. Employers, however, are still required to pay the same rate in contributions - 12% for those earning above RM5,000 and 13% for those earning RM5,000 and below. This is not the first time Putrajaya has initiated such a move. During Budget 2009, employees' EPF contribution was also lowered by 3% for 2 years to stimulate the economy and ensure domestic growth to avoid recession in times of global economic slowdown.With the rising costs of living, this is good news especially for the lower and middle-income groups, as they would be bringing more cash home every month.

However, a viral post suggesting that one could end up paying more tax with the 8% cut seems to have caused many taxpayers to consider sticking to the original 11%, as they are given the choice to do so

Image via Facebook

Now, the real question is... are you really paying more tax if you agree to the EPF cut?
This is where we'll need to understand the difference between Monthly Tax Deductions (MTD) and income tax:

The MTD refers to a certain amount that has been automatically deducted from your salary every month by your employer to pay tax on your behalf, aside from the EPF and SOCSO monthly deductions. However, the deductions do not take into account your additional tax rebates and reliefs, so your employer could very likely be overpaying for you. This is where filing your income tax comes in. When calculating your income tax, your annual income (stated in either the EA Form for private sectors or EC form for government sectors) will be the basis from which it is calculated. Do take note that you might also have other incomes that fall under the "taxable income" category such as dividends, collected rent, businesses etc. Your tax payable can be calculated based on the following equations:Chargeable Income = Taxable income – Tax exemptions – Tax ReliefsCalculated Tax = Chargeable Income x Applicable Tax RateTax Payable = Calculated Tax – Tax Rebates

        blogspot.my

With all that info in hand, blogger Shan Lee Liew drew up the following scenarios based on several monthly incomes to illustrate the differences in payable taxes for both 8% and 11% EPF cuts:

Scenario based on 8% EPF cut.
Image via Shan Lee Liew / The Malaysian Patriot Blogspot

Assuming that one did not utilise any other tax reliefs besides the individual and EPF tax relief (claimable up to RM6,000), those earning between RM4,000 to RM9,000 will be required to pay between RM316.00 to RM11,765.60 if they opted for the 8% cut compared to RM172 to RM11,805 if they opted for 11%. Those earning RM3,500 and below are pretty much exempt from tax liability thanks to the tax rebate.Note that the payable taxes indicated in these tables are significantly less than the number highlighted in the viral post above.In addition, both scenarios do not take into account the additional RM2,000 personal tax relief for those earning RM8,000 and below.

Scenario based on 11% EPF cut.
Image via Shan Lee Liew / The Malaysian Patriot Blogspot

Financial comparison website iMoney pointed out that taxpayers will not only be taxed on a higher chargeable income, the EPF contribution tax relief will be significantly less with the 3% reduction

Take, for example, the following scenario. An employee who makes RM5,000 per month will be taking home an extra RM150 every payday if they opted for the 8% EPF cut instead of 11%, as illustrated in the table below:

Image via iMoney

That’s an additional RM150 every month, coming up to RM3,300 over 22 months (March 2016 to December 2017). However, that would also mean a lower EPF tax relief of RM5,100 for Year of Assessment 2016 (tax filed in 2017), and RM4,800 for Year of Assessment 2017 (tax filed in 2018) while the previous 11% deduction would have maxed out your tax relief to RM6,000.When the time comes to file for your income tax in 2017, here is the difference you will see:

        imoney.my

Image via iMoney

An additional RM210 a year is not a lot, but if you add up the opportunity cost you lose when you opt out of saving the additional 3% in your EPF, here’s exactly how much you stand to lose:

        imoney.my

Image via iMoney

Based on the calculation above, you would have missed out on an additional RM22,461.18 by the time you retire if you decided to choose the new 8% EPF contribution rate. Adding this amount with the additional tax amount of RM120, that will come up to a whopping RM22,671.18!

        imoney.my

So, should you go for the 8% EPF cut or stick to 11%? If you ask Malaysian employers, their advice would be the latter as taking a reduced EPF cut will affect your retirement savings down the road unless you really need the extra money.

Image via The Star Online

Speaking to The Star, Cuepacs secretary-general Datuk Lok Yim Pheng said employees should weigh their options carefully.  “If they can afford to survive without the extra money, they should opt not to reduce their EPF contribution. They should only do it if they really need the money to offset the higher cost of living,” she said, adding that the extra money could be useful for children’s education or for getting housing or car loans.

Alternatively, experts suggest making full use of the extra money such as paying off high-interest debts, building up a solid contingency fund, or investing in instruments that will generate higher returns such as mutual funds and stocks

Having extra money will likely see an increase in consumer spending, especially among the low and middle-income groups who make up about 60% of the working population. This is good news for the country's economic state, as spending - not saving - spurs domestic economic growth. On a micro scale, consumers will likely spend the extra money on fulfilling instant gratification such as buying new gadgets instead of putting it aside for a rainy day.

Besides revising employee contribution rates for EPF, Najib also announced several other recalibrated key measures for Budget 2016:

Prior to his death, the man was involved in a heated argument with the woman he flashed and her family members.
The fight escalated, the man exposed his genitals, and the woman's brother slashed him with a machete.

Harian Metro reported that the man had arrived at the woman's house with a friend and they revved their motorcycles outside the home, producing a loud noise.After that, the two left for a brief moment but returned to the house and repeated the same act while uttering profanities."The woman living in the house called her two brothers and once they arrived, they shut the gates. However, the man and his friend came back and a fight ensued between them. They then threw their helmets and a machete in front of the house," said Mohd Nor Yhazid.He added that the fight went on until the man flashed his penis at the woman. It further escalated the fight, causing the woman's brother to chase the lorry driver and his friend as far as 80m. "One of the woman's brothers is believed to have slashed the victim with a machete while his friend managed to escape. While covered in blood, the victim managed to run to an acquaintance's home and they alerted his wife. His wife then rushed him to the Alor Gajah Hospital, but he was pronounced dead," he said.

Singapore Airlines Turns To Dining After Cancelling 'Flights To Nowhere'

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has dismissed its 'flights to nowhere' initiative

According to The Straits Times, SIA has abandoned the idea after conducting a market study and review that takes the environmental impact and finances into consideration.Environmental organisations like the SG Climate Rally opposed the idea and asked for more sustainable alternatives as it encourages "carbon-intensive travel for no good reason".SIA chief executive Goh Choon Phong said, "There has been a lot of interest in our customer engagement initiatives over the last few weeks, and I would like to thank everyone for their great ideas and suggestions."

SIA will instead launch a 'plane dining' experience in the world's largest passenger aircraft

Image via South China Morning Post

An Airbus A380 plane will be converted into a restaurant on 24 and 25 October. However, reservations can be made starting from 12 October.Precautions will be taken to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infections, including sanitising the plane, limiting group sizes, doing temperature checks, and implementing distancing.SIA's first class and business class meals will also be made available for home delivery.

Aside from dining, customers can take a tour inside SIA's training facilities for free!

The tour inside the SIA Training Centre will begin on 21, 22, 28, and 29 November. Although the tour is free, you still need to make a booking, which starts from 1 November.Visitors will get to talk to pilots and cabin crew about their training. They can also pay extra to try out SIA's flight simulators.Other activities include a wine appreciation session and a grooming workshop.

Previously, SIA was planning 'scenic' flights which depart and land at the same airport:

Demi Sesuap Nasi, 'Predator' Ini Ambil Keputusan Untuk Jual Ayam Gunting Di Tepi Jalan

Wabak Covid-19 yang melanda seluruh negara telah memberi kesan yang begitu besar kepada semua. Bukan saja ekonomi malah punca pendapatan individu sendiri.

Begitulah dugaan yang perlu kita hadapi buat masa ini, lebih-lebih lagi dalam tempoh Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Bersyarat (PKPB) yang akan dilanjutkan sehingga Disember depan.Tentunya keadaan ini akan menyukarkan para peniaga untuk mencari hasil pendapatan mereka.Namun berbeza pula dengan lelaki ini apabila dia menjadi perhatian pelanggan dengan mengenakan kostum Predator ketika berniaga.

Ada yang mengagumi kostumnya dan ada juga yang menjauhkan diri

Bercakap kepada sumber, lelaki berkenaan yang dikenali sebagai Mohd Nor Hisham Awang Nong yang berusia 47 tahun itu memberitahu dia mengenakan pakaian itu bukan sahaja mahu mempromosikan jualan, tetapi bagi menghiburkan pengunjung.Menurutnya, kostum itu dipakai  selama satu jam iaitu bermula 5 petang setiap hari sejak enam bulan lalu bergantung kepada keadaan cuaca.

"Memandangkan tempoh Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Bersyarat (PKPB), sebagai peniaga, saya perlu melakukan inisiatif yang lebih kreatif bagi meraih jualan," katanya.Dia juga tidak menafikan ada segelintir yang mengagumi tindakannya itu, namun tidak kurang juga ada yang menjauhkan diri kerana takut melihat 'wajahnya' yang bengis.

Terpaksa bersara awal untuk mengusahakan gerai sendiri

Difahamkan Mohd Nor Hisham berstatus orang kurang upaya (OKU) selepas kehilangan mata kanan sejak empat tahun lalu.Dia yang juga merupakan kakitangan kerajaan itu mengambil keputusan untuk bersara awal dan mengusahakan gerai ayam gunting tersebut bersama isterinya."Saya berharap peniaga lain yang terjejas juga dapat tonjolkan kreativiti masing-masing ketika mencari rezeki," katanya.

Image via Harian Metro

Tindakan yang dianggap 'kerja gila' itu mendapat sambutan yang baik

Dia memberitahu pada mulanya, ada yang mendakwa tindakannya memakai kostum itu satu 'kerja gila'.Tetapi kini dia telah mendapat sokongan daripada pelbagai kaum terutama yang meminati watak berkenaan."Saya mengambil masa selama 30 minit bagi memakai kostum dan ini juga menjadi cara saya menghiburkan diri sendiri untuk menghilangkan penat ketika mencari rezeki," katanya.

Najib Defends Ismail Sabri's Boycott Chinese Traders FB Post And Dr M Offers Some Sense

    05 Feb — 04:27 PM

Prime Minister Najib Has Defended Minister of Agriculture And Agro-Based Industry Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob For Calling The Malay Community To Boycott Chinese Businesses

Image via fbcdn.net

In defending Ismail, Najib had said that the minister's post was a reminder for all businesses to lower the price of their goods and had not targeted any specific race.In a statement, the Prime Minister's Department said the comments were "meant to rebuke traders who refuse to lower the price of goods" despite lower fuel price. "The rebuke he made was targeted to all traders and not just traders from a particular race. Besides that, he suggested consumers use their purchasing power to force traders to reduce their price of goods," the statement said, adding that Najib had reaffirmed the government's commitment to protect the interests of all races.

“As such, any disputes that may lead to racial polarisation in the country should not be extended as these will only bring detriment to all.”

In his posting, Ismail said that if the Malays boycott Chinese businesses, they would have no choice but to lower their prices. He also singled out the OldTown White Coffee chain owned by OldTown Bhd, saying Perak DAP adviser Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham owned shares in the company, which the latter had later denied."Malays are still refusing to boycott (OldTown White Coffee) what more when its owner is said to be the DAP Ngeh family of Perak who are known to be anti-Islam. As long as the Malays don't change, the Chinese will take the opportunity to oppress the Malays," Ismail said.

Najib's Failure To Rebuke Ismail Sabri Comes As A Disappointment To DAP. Tony Pua Says It Was An Attempt At Pretending That Ismail Had Not Made The Statement That They Deem Racist.

Datuk Seri Najib Razak's complete failure to censure Cabinet members over their racist statements is both "appalling and disappointing" even as the prime minister continues to promote the 1Malaysia concept and the Global Movement of Moderates, a DAP lawmaker said today.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"The complete failure by the prime minister to even gently rebuke Ismail Sabri over his incendiary racist statement is both appalling and disappointing given his rhetorics of promoting 1Malaysia and the Global Movement of Moderates," Pua said in a statement today. "It is obvious that the honourable prime minister would rather look stupid and ridiculous, than to make any effort to denounce blatant racism and malicious lies spouted by his own Cabinet members."

This Polarising Effect Is Exactly What Some Politicians Are Trying To Achieve, Says Political Analyst Wan Saiful Wan Jan. He Says Racial Campaigns To Make People Think Along Ethnic Lines Are Still Effective For Political Survival.

Political analyst Wan Saiful Wan Jan from the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) said racial campaigns are still effective, especially in Malay-majority rural areas, but are gradually losing their potency amid urbanisation and development.“As the country becomes more educated and urbanised, we are thinking less along ethnic lines,” Wan Saiful told Malay Mail Online.“What these politicians are trying to do is to maintain people thinking along ethnic lines. Otherwise, they’ll become irrelevant. This is not just about getting more votes — it’s about political survival. They need people to continue thinking, ‘I’m a Malay first or I’m a Muslim first’,” he added.

Pakatan Rakyat Agrees. PAS Research Centre Chief Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad Says In Malaysia, Racial Politics Are Interwined With Economic Disparity

PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli said Umno, the ruling Malay nationalist party, was hoping to gain more Malay support by blaming the Chinese for the country’s economic troubles to avoid losing the next general election due by three years. “Unfortunately, there are still gullible Malays who still believe in such propaganda,” Rafizi said.

        themalaymailonline.com

PAS research centre chief Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad noted that racial politics are intertwined with economic disparity. “The Malaysian constituencies’ demography now is very divided. If they (voters) are pro-Umno, they are pro-Umno for life and likewise. They are so polarised and they are not able to think well, and this is why the racial card comes of use,” he said. MCA religious harmony bureau chairman Datuk Ti Lian Ker said Malays were being “bullied” to toe the line of bigotry and racism.

Shedding Light On The Issue, Political Analyst Ibrahim Suffian Opines That People Have A Tendency To Blame Others During Times of Economic Difficulty

Political analyst Ibrahim Suffian from Merdeka Centre said such polarising racial discourse generally bubbles up during times of economic uncertainty, as people are inclined to blame the “other” for their shrinking wallets. This comes on the back of the rising cost of living — despite the price of petrol falling over the past several weeks — and people feeling the need to tighten their belts. With the goods and service tax (GST) coming into effect in April, consumers are increasingly wary if they will be able to make ends meet.

Despite The Uproar, Ismail Sabri Says He Will Not Apologise For This Statement. He May Have Removed The Post But Stands By It, Asking People To Look At The Bigger Picture.

Image via fbcdn.net

Last night, during a live interview on TV1's "Dialog" programme, Ismail Sabri said his boycott call will benefit all races, adding that if Malaysians were to use their collective power as consumers to boycott “stubborn” businesses, the prices of goods would drop. "The effect is that everyone will benefit, whether they are Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans,” he had said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Ismail Sabri did not apologise for his Facebook post which had ignited a storm of protest. Instead, he said people should look at the "bigger picture", beyond the mention of race in his post. “I hope that people do not just focus on one aspect... as if I was criticising one community. Look at the bigger picture,” Ismail had said in the programme.

Tun Dr Mahathir Points Ismail Out For Now Putting Much Thought Into The Statement. Although Chinese Does Make Up The Majority Of Traders, The Issue Is Not About Chinese, But About The Effect Of Oil Prices.

"This is not about Chinese, Malay or anyone else. This is about goods, not only goods sold by Chinese.... Indian, Malays also raised price, they don’t bring the price down. This is not about Chinese or Malay, this is about oil prices going down but goods prices are not going down," he told reporters here.

        thestar.com.my

To blame a particular race for the rise in prices was a negative way of resolving the problem, he said, adding that there was a need to find out the cause for the hike in prices to ease the burden of the people.

“He (Ismail Sabri) may not have put much thought into what he was trying to say. Acknowledging that the Chinese made up the majority of traders, Dr Mahathir said instead of pointing fingers in such a manner, one should look towards what is causing the problem in the first place.

Asri first raped the victim at their house at Taman Ukay Bistari here, around 8am on February 14. Two days later, he raped her again at the same place.

In the first incident, the victim was coming out of the bathroom after finishing her bath when Asri pulled her into a room and forced her to take off her towel. When she resisted, Asri hit her in her stomach and then raped her.

In the second incident, the victim was sleeping with her elder sister when Asri entered the bedroom and raped her. Each offence is punishable with imprisonment up to 30 years and whipping as provided under Section 376(3) of the Penal Code.

Asri, who was clad in T-shirt and pants, pleaded for a lenient sentence because he had to look after his mother and sister who are not working

"The accused's act is akin to "harapkan pagar, pagar makan padi" because he raped his sister. "I urge the court to impose a heavy sentence so that the accused would realise the error of his ways because it does not only involve his future but that of his sister," Noor Fadzlin said.

However, deputy public prosecutor Noor Fadzlin Abd Zawawi urged the court to impose a deterrent penalty because Asri is the brother to the victim and should have protected his sister from harm.

Manira then sentenced Asri to eight years jail and ten strokes of rotan for each of the two offences. She ordered the jail term to run consecutively from today. The 28-year-old reacted calmly to it.
