The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, that was found in the Malee products, is typically found in faeces, soil, water and sewage

In its website, the Malaysian manufacturer has shown to carry three lines of bottled drinking and mineral water products: Sukahati, Ro Fina and Still.Each of the product lines has several other products under them. The Sukahati line has eight products, the Ro Fina line has four and there are two under the Still line.SFA did not make it clear which product line of bottled drinking water was affected.

The ban on Malee products comes slightly over two weeks after SFA informed on 12 June that it had detected the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in "Starfresh" bottled drinking water

SFA said that they detected the bacteria during a routine sampling of the product, which was imported from Malaysia by Radha Exports Pte Ltd, according to NST Online.The common environmental bacteria can multiply in water environments and also on the surface of suitable organic materials in contact with water.According to the United States' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), use or consumption of products contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause infections in humans with weakened immune systems.

M'sian Women Share What It's Like To Pursue A Career In STEM & The Semiconductor Industry

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

From inventors and data scientists to engineers, leaders of their fields, and more, the world could definitely stand to gain more roles where women are at the helm

There are countless amazing women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) who excel in their jobs every day.Whether it is discovering supermassive black holes in space or setting up international tech firms, Malaysian women continue to accomplish impressive feats. Yet, industries associated with STEM are still typically dominated by men, worldwide, and here at home.

Fortunately, there are companies actively trying to foster change.
One such company is Micron, a tech and semiconductor company with sites in Penang and Muar.

In line with its 2021 Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion report, Micron continues to recruit talented top women into engineering roles.In fact, Micron has recorded an increased representation of women in all job groups and a higher overall representation of women — notably in India, Malaysia, and Taiwan. In Malaysia alone, the percentage of women grew to 25.7% from 21.7% in 2021.

To get a better picture of what it's like to work in a place that values diversity, equality, and inclusion, we spoke to two Malaysian women who work at Micron.
Meet Esugasini Subramaniam, Director of SIG global operations and supply chain, and Pei Wen Er, a fresh graduate who recently joined the company.

With 17 years of experience in the semiconductor industry behind her, Esugasini, who also goes by Suha, has been a curious person, ever since she was a young girl. In awe with how things work and the universe around her, she had childhood dreams of being an astronaut.  "Probably watched too much of Star Trek and everything, I just wanted to be in that universe," she said with a laugh in a virtual interview with SAYS.

Meanwhile, Pei Wen, a fresh graduate who joined Micron as a process yield enhancement engineer about a year and a half ago, is the only engineer in her family. "This engineering spirit is inspired by my father, because sometimes he will come up with some wild ideas to innovate and [think of] ways to improve quality of living," shared Pei Wen.

From managing two contract manufacturers with a team of four to having close to 64 team members (and growing) today, Suha credits reaching significant career milestones to a progressive company culture

Some diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in Micron include employee resource groups that foster supportive work environments, allowing team members with disabilities to thrive, as well as continuous training programmes under the Micron Women's Leadership Network (MWLN).The latter aims to strengthen leadership, engagement, and the voices of women in the company. And the best part about it is that it also offers external outreach programmes for young girls in school, as well as women trying to get back into the workforce after hitting a pause on their careers.

Suha (seated third from left) with the Micron Women's Leadership Network.

Suha was sent to a six-month leadership cohort programme under MWLN in Singapore a mere three months after she joined."Even as I joined, I was still a timid person, not brave enough to say things that people do not want to hear in a room. That training, that leadership cohort training changed the person in me. The programme told me that it's okay to say things, to speak your mind, and it's okay if it's a mistake and you learn from it. If not, you're not going to learn from it," said Suha, speaking about the experience.

To Suha, the best perk about working for a company like Micron is the flexibility she enjoys while balancing her role as a mother and team lead

Suha and her daughter in Washington D.C.

She recounts a time when her 11-year-old daughter won best speaker at a model United Nations workshop, and earned a ticket for an in-person conference in Washington, D.C.Since the flight was finalised late due to visa reasons, she could only tell her boss about the week-long trip close to its date. Not only was she met with understanding approval, but Suha also got to work at Micron's headquarters in the US while her daughter was at the conference."We can openly tell our managers where we are, what we can do, what are the challenges that we have, and what are the leeways we need during this period of difficulties. So, that flexibility is available at Micron on top of what a woman needs, right — respect and equal opportunity to grow to meet our passions."

One advice that Suha has for young women who are interested in pursuing a career in tech?

While studying for her Master's degree, Suha received the ITEX award for her project — Neuralmammo: Mass Screening Possibilities for Breast Cancer.
Image via Micron (Provided to SAYS)

"A person can be our role model, but we can never or shouldn't, I would say, try to imitate and follow their path."Suha added, "Understand your strengths, understand your passions, set a vision, and walk towards that vision, and during the journey, refer to those successful people, and refer more to the failures and mistakes they have made to guide you along the way."

Meanwhile, for Pei Wen, the emphasis on DEI and the benefits it brings are part of what drew her to join Micron

Image via Micron (Provided to SAYS)

"You can also say the benefits are very good," she shared. This ranges from competitive compensation and maternity leave, which Micron has increased to 98 calendar days, to continuous training, be it leadership or technical skills."Micron helps to arrange trainings. Like during MCO, we were able to get e-learning courses, and now it is [back] to physical lectures in the lab."Continuous learning is important, because as we know, life is all about science. So, giving an example, for this COVID-19 right, do you think we're able to solve or minimise the impact of COVID with knowledge from ten years back? So, only when we learn non-stop, can we get ourselves ready for the future," said Pei Wen.

With a background in chemical engineering, Pei Wen has been passionately promoting STEM since her days as a student in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Pei Wen (second from left) with her university career fair committee.
Image via Micron (Provided to SAYS)

She used to organise career fairs and campaigns with the Institute of Engineering Malaysia, as well as her university's career centre, to not only build interest in STEM, but also help students look for "a good job in a good company."During Pei Wen's time in university, she also noticed that her chemical engineering courses had an equal ratio of young men and women.

However, it was apparent to her that men were more represented in other engineering courses like mechanical engineering, which is why, despite the company's DEI values that attracted her, Pei Wen was surprised when she joined her current team at Micron Muar."I got quite a culture shock, because when I entered Micron, right, in my team itself, our team of nine people, we have only one male inside our team," said Pei Wen.

Pei Wen thinks it is great for freshies like her to have a mentor to look up to, which in her case, is her superior

Image via Micron (Provided to SAYS)

"Many successful leaders in Micron always share their stories and experiences with the new joiners. This can motivate newbies like me... to have the 'I can do this!' mindset, so these leaders are great role models," she said, noting that sharing and collaborative initiatives like these are what young people in search of their first job should look for.When asked about the biggest piece of advice she's ever gotten from her mentor, Pei Wen said, "One of the things that I can remember is — whenever we do anything, do not rush and do not get ourselves exhausted, as working life is a very long journey. "Normally, newbies, when they just enter the industry, they have the means to grab all knowledge in a very short period, so it's easy to get exhausted and also lose the enthusiasm for work. Taking from this advice, I know that I need to do things at the right time, and at my own pace."

All in all, Micron is committed to increasing representation of underrepresented groups, and understands the importance of DEI

Image via Micron

Over the years, the tech and semiconductor company has steadily grown its presence in Malaysia to establish the Center of Excellence for Solid State Drive (SSD) Assembly and Test. The RM1.5 billion investment is situated in Batu Kawan, Penang, better known as Micron Memory Penang, following its first site in Micron Muar in Johor.In addition to increasing female representation, Micron has also established various Employee Resource Groups (ERG) to encourage diversity, equality, and inclusion in the workplace. Having hired 61 hearing-impaired team members, with 39 more joining by end of August, the company will bring in a total of 100 team members with disabilities by 2022.With an unwavering commitment to its people, communities, and the planet, Micron is expanding in scale and research and development, attracting the brightest and best talents to promote growth in the semiconductor sector in Malaysia.

Interested in being part of an inclusive workplace that embraces diverse talents, and cares about its people and communities? Micron may just be what you need for an exciting and fulfilling career!

Besides prioritising diversity and equal opportunity for its people, Micron places emphasis on the mental and physical wellbeing of team members as well.The company encourages work-life balance, recognising that this practice is important take care of employee well-being and prevent burnout in the workplace.On top of MWLN, Micron has also hosted 107 DEI-focused wellbeing events for over 6,700 team members around the world in 2021. Here at home, team members have attended mental health webinars designed to support them through prevalent COVID-19 challenges, where topics included communicating without conflict and helping loved ones through difficult times.

Another Man Dies While In Police Custody In Less Than 3 Weeks Time

Yet another detainee died while in police custody today

Thanaseelan Muniandy, a 43-year-old man who was under a court remand for burglary from 22 to 25 February was found unconscious in his cell at about 1.50am last night by a sentry at the Bukit Sentosa station, who alerted the officer at the information counter.According to reports, Muniandy died just hours after the police had brought him to the Kuala Kubu Bharu hospital to treat his stomach pain.

According to Hulu Selangor Police Chief Supt R. Supramaniam, an ambulance was called in but he was pronounced dead at the scene

"He has a history of gastritis and we brought him to the hospital for treatment when he complained of stomach pains. The doctors gave him medicines and we brought him back," Supt Supramaniam was quoted as saying by The Malay Mail Online, adding that the body of the deceased has been sent to the Sungai Buloh Hospital for post-mortem.

Image via Astro AWANI

Muniandy's post-mortem is scheduled to take place on Monday, 27 February. Meanwhile, the case has been classified as sudden death.

Prior to Muniandy, there was another custodial death at a police station in Klang.That was on 8 February, when 44-year-old S. Balamurugan was found dead at the North Klang police station after he was arrested with two other men.According to a report in The Star Online, he was first taken to a magistrate's court to be remanded, which was denied after the magistrate saw him vomit blood.While the magistrate's court ordered the police to either take Balamurugan to a hospital or release him, the police defied the order and took him in custody where he died.

While the first autopsy carried out at the Klang Hospital had reportedly stated that Balamurugan had died of "heart problems", a second autopsy by order from the Shah Alam High Court stated that he had suffered multiple beatings in police custody

While more than 10 policemen at the North Klang district police HQs are under investigation over Balamurugan's custodial death, none of them have been suspended.

Before these two cases, back in January this year another man, Soh Kai Chiok, aged 49, died while in police custody in Bera. The police had arrested him for allegedly stealing bananas at a plantation.

And there have been others, many, many others...

In 2014, a 26-year-old lorry driver died in the Bukit Mertajam Hospital while under police custody. His name was Agin Raj and he was detained at the Bandar Perda Police lock-up under suspicion of iron theft.His family had noticed bruises on his lips, wrists and legs when they visited him at the hospital. In fact, Agin was cuffed to the bed and was writhing in pain.

Image via The Malay Mail Online

In 2013, a man named N. Dharmendran, aged 32, became a victim of the police beating after he died in custody. According to the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) report, four policemen in charge of questioning Dharmendran had beaten him up, causing massive bleeding from blunt force trauma leading to his death.Police later fabricated evidence to cover up their violent interrogation. While the policemen were charged, they were acquitted at the High Court last year.However, the victim’s widow, Marry Mariay Susay, won a separate civil lawsuit to claim damages from the policemen for Dharmendran’s death.

Image via Aliran

In fact, according to a SUHAKAM report, in the past 17 years, 242 people walked into police lockups alive but left in body bags. Balamurugan was 243, and Muniandy just became 244.

And the authorities have done little to improve its procedures to prevent detainees from dying while in custody, alleges Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) Director Eric Paulsen.He claimed the lack of prosecution or conviction in past custodial death cases proved that the authorities are not serious in wanting to tackle the problem."At the root cause of deaths in custody is the lack of seriousness of PDRM and the government in tackling custodial deaths. How many deaths in custody over the last decade and how many policemen are actually prosecuted, sacked or disciplined?," Paulsen was quoted as saying by The Malay Mail Online (MMO).

So many deaths in custody - Sugumar,  Kugan,  Dharmendran, Mohd Azlan - how many policemen prosecuted/ convicted, sacked or disciplined?— Eric Paulsen (@EricPaulsen101) February 26, 2017

I don't understand why it is so difficult for the police to make sure detainees are well & alive while under their care.— Eric Paulsen (@EricPaulsen101) February 26, 2017

He also alleged the AGC had in many instances acted against the interest of justice."Questions must also be asked about the AGC — why are they not taking custodial deaths seriously? For example, in Karuna Nithi, instead of acting on the positive inquest verdict, the AGC is seeking to overturn the verdict. Surely the AGC is not acting in the public interest by seeking to appeal against the Coroner's verdict?" he told The MMO.

"Rakaman TikTok & Instagram Juga Perlu Mohon Lesen Daripada Finas" - Menteri Komunikasi

Kita semua sedia maklum, Perbadanan Kemajuan Filem Nasional Malaysia (FINAS) merupakan sebuah agensi yang mengeluarkan lesen penerbitan dan kebenaran penggambaran

Sudah menjadi tugas FINAS dalam memastikan setiap penerbitan tidak kira dalam atau luar negara, melakukan penggambaran sebagaimana termaktub akta dan mengikut peraturan.Namun begitu, Sidang Parlimen di Dewan Rakyat hari ini, Menteri Komunikasi dan Multimedia, Saifuddin Abdullah berkata, segala bentuk penggambaran memerlukan lesen FINAS, termasuklah rakaman di media sosial peribadi.

Menurut laporan, ditanya adakah keperluan lesen itu turut terpakai ke atas mereka yang menggunakan platform media sosial seperti Instagram dan TikTok. Saifuddin berkata, semua penggambaran tertakluk kepada undang-undang berkenaan.

“Penerbit filem, wajib memohon Lesen Pengeluaran Filem serta Surat Perakuan Penggambaran (SPP) tidak kira mereka adalah agensi media arus perdana atau media personal yang menerbitkan filem di platform media sosial atau saluran tradisi.“Kita memang galakkan semua orang kecil besar, tua muda, individu atau organisasi untuk mengeluarkan apa-apa jenis filem seperti yang saya petik tadi asalkan ikut undang-undang sedia ada,” katanya.

Sementara itu, menurut laman web FINAS untuk mendapatkan lesen bagi pembikinan filem dan penggambaran video, pemohon mesti berdaftar sebagai pemilik Syarikat Sdn Bhd serta mempunyai modal berbayar tidak kurang daripada RM50,000

Saifuddin berkata demikian ketika menjawab soalan Wong Shu Qi (PH- Kluang) yang mempersoalkan adakah lesen FINAS diperlukan untuk media sosial atau tradisional.Lesen FINAS mencuri tumpuan susulan keputusan kerajaan untuk menyiasat sama ada Al-Jazeera mempunyai lesen untuk menghasilkan dokumentari ataupun tidak.Ini selepas media yang berpengkalan di Qatar itu yang menerbitkan dokumentari "Locked Up in Malaysia's Lockdown" yang mendedahkan layanan kerajaan terhadap warga asing tanpa dokumen ketika Malaysia berindak membasmi wabak Covid-19 di negara ini.Tonton video penuh soal jawab sesi Sidang Parlimen di Dewan Rakyat mengenai isu berkenaan di bawah:

Semua Rakyat Malaysia 'Tertipu', Kisah Gadis Sabah Jawab Exam Atas Pokok Didakwa Palsu

Masihkah anda ingat, kisah Veveonah Mosibin yang tular pada Jun lalu dan tinggal di sebuah kampung di Pitas, Sabah

Image via Veveonah Mosibin (YouTube)

Pelajar dari Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) itu terpaksa memanjat pokok di kampungnya semata-mata untuk mendapatkan capaian internet yang baik dalam membolehkan beliau menjalani ujian.Kisah Veveonah ini bukan sahaja menarik perhatian para netizen malah turut menjemput ahli politik serta pihak bertanggungjawab untuk melawati kampungnya dalam usaha memberi bantuan serta menawarkan rangkaian internet yang lebih baik.

Begitupun, siapa sangka dakwaan yang dibuat pelajar ini yang sanggup naik atas pokok demi merakam kisah peritnya hanyalah sekadar hiburan dan suka-suka

Image via The Borneo Post

Apa yang lebih mengejutkan lagi, siasatan menunjukkan Veveonah tidak mempunyai sebarang peperiksaan sewaktu rakaman itu dibuat.Kenyataan ini telah disahkan sendiri oleh Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin selaku Timbalan Menteri Komunikasi dan Multimedia melalui rancangan Kementerian untuk memastikan liputan jalur lebar dipertingkatkan dari segi kelajuan dan keluasan liputan merangkumi seluruh Malaysia. Anda boleh tonton soal jawab YB Datuk Zahidi mengenai isu Veveonah pada minit ke 8.10 di bawah:

Rakaman video pelajar UMS didakwa terpaksa panjat pokok untuk dapat capaian internet bagi menduduki peperiksaan secara dalam talian di Pitas, Sabah sebenarnya sekadar dilakukan hanya bertujuan hiburan dan menaikkan 'viewer' rancangan YouTubenya-Timbalan Menteri pic.twitter.com/HvuxU1SUOW— Mohd Redzuan Abdul Manap (@redzuanNewsMPB) September 3, 2020

“Veveonah merupakan seorang YouTuber dan tidak ada peperiksaan. Kita dah semak dah. Dia hanya YouTuber untuk ambil nama, dia terkenal sekejap dan dia buat hanya untuk hiburan.“Ini perbuatan yang kadang-kadang kita tertipu dan kadang-kadang kita jangan mudah tertipu dengan Youtuber untuk membuat isu.“Jadi, kita minta pihak berwajib yang tidak ada line atau blind spot, maklumkan pada Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM) dan kita akan segera atasi masalah tersebut terutamanya dari segi pendidikan,” katanya.

Sementara itu, dua orang individu yang dikenali sebagai Wong Gen Hee dan OK Sokmo telah tampil menjelaskan situasi sebenar mengenai Veveonah

Menurut mereka, gadis itu tidak menipu dan Veveonah tidak tahu videonya pada masa berkenaan akan viral dan mendapat perhatian ramai. Dalam pada itu, di akhir tweet salah seorang individu tersebut juga, mereka turut melampirkan tatacara peperiksaan akhir yang dipercayai diduduki oleh Veveonah ketika merakam video itu.

Once you makan you'll feel restless cause your body temperature increses.You'll start sweating like a pig...The trick is, After makan durian, make sure you eat mangoesteen...mangoesteen's are cooling...This will prevent the body temperature from rising..."

        lowyat.net

THE FACT is there is NO scientific proof that mangosteens can reduce heatiness

THE VERDICT: Honestly, mangosteens had a limited effect in countering “heatiness”. It was just our minds trying to psyche ourselves that they did. We experienced a “heaty” feeling a few hours later.

THE FACT is there is NO scientific proof that mangosteens can reduce heatiness
Image via wanista.com

According to conventional Chinese wisdom, a mangosteen, being a cooling fruit, will reduce the heatiness associated with durians. However, there is no scientific research to support this. The habit of eating durians and mangosteens together probably stems from the fact that the two fruits are harvested at about the same time.

        healthxchange.com.sg

The belief probably originated from the fact that the two fruits are harvested at the same time

In Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, the season for durians is typically from June to August, which coincides with that of the mangosteen.

Why do I feel 'feverish' after eating durian? What makes the durian a 'heaty' fruit?

Our metabolism increases during digestion of the fruit, says Natalie Goh, a consultant dietitian in Singapore, thus there may be occasional instances of a slight increase in body temperature. This is partly because durian is so dense in calories, demanding greater digestive effort.

        menshealth.com.sg

Durian is one of the most calorically dense fruits due to its relatively high proportion of fat. Durian is fatty, and not exactly low in sugars either. As for protein, durian is nearly average among fruits.

Durians and chocolates are considered “heaty” foods because they possess factors that cause ailments that are associated with excessive “heatiness”, such cough with sticky phlegm, chapped lips and mouth ulcers.

        menshealth.com.sg

What's 'cooling' about mangosteens? Vitamins in mangosteens help metabolise carbohydrates (durians are high in carbs), and help regulate blood pressure.

Unlike durians which are believed to be "heaty" for the body, the Chinese believe that mangosteens are "cooling". As the mangosteen and durian season coincide in Singapore, they are served as the perfect accompaniments.

        nl.sg

Alternate names for mangosteen are Garcinia mangostana L., mangostan, manggis, mangis, and mang cut.

Mangosteen’s vitamin C content is another advantage, providing the body with a water-soluble (easily absorbed) antioxidant, while staving off infections and scavenging harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals. B-complex vitamins such as thiamin, niacin, and folate HELP THE BODY METABOLISE carbohydrates, protein, and fats.

        mercola.com

To date, very few studies have tested the effects of mangosteen on human health. In experimental research, scientists have shown that mangosteen extract may possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and anti-tumor properties.

        about.com

Mangosteens have been used in numerous anti-cancer studies, with positive results. One study showed how mangosteens can significantly slow the growth of cancerous colorectal tumors. Another indicated the potential to successfully slow prostate cancer.

What about drinking water from the durian shell? Will that cool me down?

Myth: You can get rid of the smell by drinking water from the shell.
Image via staticflickr.com

You don’t need a nutritionist to tell you that drinking water from a durian shell does nothing for you.

        menshealth.com.sg

THE VERDICT: "Durians are famous for their pungency so we were game for anything that would take the smell away from our mouths. Sure enough, the smelly durian breath went away after drinking some water from the shell. However, the smell returned a few hours later. Perhaps it was just a quick fix after all."

Here’s What The #VisitMalaysia2020 Logo Looks Like Compared To Logos From Previous Years

It hasn't been a good week for the newly-unveiled Visit Malaysia 2020 logo. With apes in shades and wacky fonts plastered over a stamp, the new logo has been widely criticised for its amateurish, cartoon-like design.

Image via Twitter @TourismMalaysia

In addition to being the butt of a joke on social media, some Malaysians also pointed out how "ugly" the new logo looks especially when compared to the better designs from previous tourism campaigns

sorry to say, but that is one ugly logo. I'd rather have the 2014 logo being reused.— Шaфик Aшpaф (@syfq_syrf) January 27, 2018

Visit Malaysia 2007 Logo, Malaysia Truly Asia Logo, and  KL Sea Games last year are some of the good example of the better example of what Malaysia did in the past. Do have the concious to demand a better product. Lets all start making Malaysian proud with our own country. Please pic.twitter.com/09SwuRTrED— Faiz Wan (@F41zWan) January 28, 2018

So, is the Visit Malaysia 2020 logo really that bad when compared to its predecessors? Let's take a look:

The Visit Malaysia Year (VMY) campaign was first launched in 1990 with a logo featuring the Sultan Abdul Samad building in Kuala Lumpur with the tagline "You'll be fascinated"

Image via Tourism Malaysia

Following the campaign's huge success, with Malaysia charting 7.4 million tourist arrivals in 1990 compared to 4.8 million in 1989, Visit Malaysia Year was brought back in 1994 with a similar logo and theme ("Fascinating Malaysia. Naturally More.").At the tail end of the '90s, Tourism Malaysia launched the massively successful "Malaysia, truly Asia" worldwide marketing campaign in 1999. Until today, the iconic jingle is still the first thing that comes to mind whenever tourism in Malaysia is mentioned.

Visit Malaysia Year returned for its third iteration in 2007 in conjunction with the nation's 50th Independence Day, with a logo revolving around a hibiscus motif

Image via Twitter @aniqaimyr

To reflect the celebration of five whole decades of independence, the theme of VMY 2007 was "Celebrating 50 years of nationhood".

The logo for Visit Malaysia 2014 sported a cleaner and more modern look, this time featuring the timeless "Malaysia, Truly Asia" tagline

Image via Places and Foods

Fun Fact: Tourism Malaysia held a logo design and slogan competition in 2012 to aid selection for VMY 2014. Some elements of the 2014 logo were later incorporated into the Year of Festivals campaign in 2015.

Image via PATA

Remember the 'Cuti-Cuti Malaysia' jingle sung by local songbird Siti Nurhaliza? First launched in 2009, the domestic travel campaign has been revamped several times since then, though the logo has largely remained the same.

Image via Tourism Malaysia

The latest iteration of the campaign, branded as 'Cuti-Cuti 1Malaysia Dekat Je', was launched in June 2015 to encourage Malaysians to prioritise local holiday destinations and to travel during off-peak seasons.

Now for a little bonus content - we also came across some pretty interesting designs for state-focused tourism campaigns. Terengganu actually had a cute penyu-inspired one in 2013:

Image via Pinterest /

The state brought back the turtle motif (sunglasses not included) and the 'Pesona Terengganu' theme for this year's logo.

Image via New Straits Times

The Sarawak Tourism Board also went with a logo inspired by the state emblem, the burung kenyalang (hornbill)

Visit Sabah for this cool swingin' orangutan!

Image via GraphicsBuzz

You guys, the Visit Kelantan 2016 logo is so nice. Check out that little wau and swirly waves!

Image via blog.malaysia-asia.my

The theme for the 2016 state tourism campaign was "Menyusuri Warisan".

In tandem with the tagline "World of Wonders", the Visit Perak 2017 campaign utilises shades of blue, green, and orange in overlapping silhouettes of the state's popular landmarks

True to its nickname 'Negeri Jelapang Padi', Visit Kedah 2008 and 2012 featured the same paddy motif

Image via KL Tower International Jump 2008

Image via Aku Suka Kedah Blogspot

The Visit Pahang 2017 logo incorporates an elephant design and the word "hogoh", a colloquial term used by the people of Pahang to mean "go for it"

Image via Vectorise

According to Vectorise, the word is believed to have been used by Pahang fans during football matches to spur on their team. It can also be used as a term to motivate and encourage. Meanwhile, the elephant in the logo design symbolises the Asian Elephant, an indigenous species to Pahang, which is critically endangered with less than 1,200 roaming wild in Peninsula Malaysia.

We thought this Visit Selangor logo from 2015 was a joke. Turns out it's not...?

Image via Whohaa.com

Visit Kuala Lumpur actually had a pretty nice logo back in 2008

Image via Visit KL

Makes you wonder why the new one looked like it was hastily designed on PowerPoint:

                DBKL paid RM15,000 for KL's new tourism logo and design

"Please hire a real branding agency to do it."

This Guy Made His Own Real-Time Translator Because His Colleagues Kept Talking In Mandarin

Cases of colleagues being left out of work conversations because of language barriers are, unfortunately, a common issue in Malaysia.
In a now viral tweet, this guy shared his own personal experience with such colleagues.

Roshen Maghhan.
Image via Instagram @roshenmaghhan

On Tuesday, 9 July, Roshen Maghhan tweeted, "About six months ago, I worked at this software development company, and every morning, we'd have a casual meeting about the work."But half the time, during the meeting, most of them would converse in Mandarin, and so I'd always be pretty clueless half the time."

Roshen would ask his colleagues to converse in English during meetings, which they acknowledged - but eventually they would continue doing the same thing again

Image for illustration purposes only.
Image via Nikkei Asian Review

"Despite the amount of times I've I asked them to converse in English, they would acknowledge it, but eventually start conversing in Mandarin again after a while, and I believe its (sic) unintentional, [because] they're very nice," he continued.

"Then I remembered about the Google Pixel Buds, and how it's probably the tech solution to bridge the gap between language barriers," Roshen continued

He included a video that showed how the Google Pixel Buds - a pair of wireless earbuds that allow you to translate languages in real time, among other things - works:

Then I remembered about the Google Pixel Buds, & how it's probably the tech solution to bridge the gap between language barriers.If you dont know what the Pixel Buds are, they're able to convert any language in real time, like this : pic.twitter.com/TFmlb9WUet— roshen maghhan part 2 (@roshenmaghhan) July 9, 2019

Unfortunately, a pair of the wireless earbuds would cost close to RM800.
So Roshen put his skills to the test and, in his own words, built "the damn thing" himself.

Breaking down Roshen's tweets, for this project he needed:- Google Pixel Buds' hardware information, obtained from the United States' Federal Communications Commission,- Google Translate API (purchased),- ResponsiveVoice API (voice synthesiser), and- earphones with a microphone.

Image via Twitter @roshenmaghhan

The result? A real-time language translator, based on the web and able to work on every platform.

Earlier in the thread, the developer said he wanted to make sure that the programme will be able to work on every platform, including Android, iOS, and Desktop, which is why he made it web-based."Also, I wanna make sure it's able to work with any earphone wired or wireless, as long as it has a microphone."

So now it can translate in any language, in real time. So it fulfills the same goal as the google pixel.( The reason the audio is soft, is bcs its coming from the earphones )But then I thought to myself....why stop here, when I can make it way better..... pic.twitter.com/rVfTSzIZsK— roshen maghhan part 2 (@roshenmaghhan) July 9, 2019

Roshen did not stop there either, as he even added in a few more tweaks so that the programme could differentiate voices and highlight topics that are being discussed

Roshen shared that he added the ability to differentiate voices, known as 'voice diarisation', so that even deaf people can be involved in the conversation."This way, you can just put your device on the table, and it'll immediately create a transcript of the entire conversation going on in your vicinity and in real time," he explained, adding that he developed the voice recognition and diarisation algorithms himself.

Screenshot from the video showing how the programme differentiates voices.
Image via Twitter @roshenmaghhan

Further down the thread, he added, "Then, again, I was like why stop here.... [S]o I made it more informative, using machine learning, it checks every word in the convo, and if the word is a topic, it gets highlighted."And when you click the highlighted word, it'll give you information about that topic."

Screenshot from the video showing how the topic highlights work.
Image via Twitter @roshenmaghhan

Ending his thread, Roshen said that "modern day problems require modern day solutions"

He cheekily added, "Now you can talk shit about me in any language and I'll still understand, and I can finally day dream during a convo and still stay in the loop."

Mad impressive skills, Roshen!

Thai Man Loses 10KG After Wife Promises To Buy Him PS5 If He Slims Down

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.Disclaimer: Take the exercise and diet tips featured in the story with a pinch of salt. Fitness and health is a personal journey.

Weight loss can be hard, and sometimes, we need some motivation to give us that push to lose the extra weight.
Some want to lose weight to fit into the clothes they want, others for health reasons. But for this man, it was for a gaming console.

Previously weighing 95kg, Prab Laoharojanaphan shared in a Facebook post on 18 October, that he decided to lose weight after his wife promised him a PlayStation 5 (PS5).According to Prab, he managed to lose a whopping 10kg in just four short months. He proudly posted the results on Facebook.Speaking with SAYS, Prab shared that stress from work was the main factor for him gaining weight as he would turn to food to cope.The Bangkok local said that he had been meaning to start his weight-loss journey for sometime now but because of work, he put his plans on hold. It was only when his wife promised the gaming console to him that he put his fitness plans into action.

Side by side comparison of Prab before he lost weight versus after he did.
Image via Prab Laoharojanaphan (Facebook)

Prab's diet plan included intermittent fasting, in which he would fast for a set amount of time and only eat at set times

He started doing 16-and-eight hour fasting intervals, but slowly widened the time gap to 18-and-six hours, before finally settling on 20-and-four hours.However, he is currently alternating between fasting for 20-and-four hour intervals and having only one meal the next day. Prab also said that he opted for a ketogenic diet, in which he dieted 80% of the time while allowing himself some treats for the other 20%. "Cherish the moments when dining out with friends or on other special occasions," the Thai said.He also shared that he alternated between doing cardio and strength training exercises as part of his workout routine.

Prab also credited his wife as a significant factor for his monumental progress in his weight-loss journey

He shared that his wife would not buy any snacks that were not aligned with his diet and even adjusted her meals to fit his diet schedule.Prab later revealed that he is not done with losing weight and plans to continue dieting and exercising to get to his goal weight of below 80kg. And even though he has yet to reach his goal, Prab will be getting his promised PS5 console in late November.

Is It Possible To Survive In Klang Valley For A Day With Only RM10?

1. You need to love, and keep an eye out for free stuff

My commute wasn’t too far out of town (Kuala Lumpur to Petaling Jaya and back) and I only needed to survive the workday. Luckily, the office provides drinking water and basic beverages such as coffee and tea. Not every office stocks such amenities but if it does, it really helps cut corners.

3. You will need to have a lot of patience and tolerance

I did note that for those taking the LRT and Rapid Bus daily to KL for work had the option of a RapidPass Integrasi. This pass costs RM150 for 30 days, which equals to RM5 a day and has a no limit usage for buses, LRT and monorail services. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for my route.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

The cheapest mode of transportation for my route was the bus service. A single journey from Kuala Lumpur to Petaling Jaya costs RM2.50. That left me with only RM5 for meals.

4. Get ready to give up on entertainment, extra meals to catch up with friends, and any other form of recreation

With RM10, I had just enough to eat a few meagre meals and get to work. Supper with friends, entertainment or any other form of recreation can be absolutely dismissed.

Then you will have some extra for tea breaks and some snacks.”—Mark

Najib & Mahathir To Battle It Out By Delivering Their Final GE14 Address At The Same Time

The stakes are higher than ever as Malaysia goes to the polls tomorrow, 9 May

Image via MHOnline

Barisan Nasional (BN), the ruling coalition led by caretaker Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, is seeking to secure a stronger mandate and regain its two-thirds parliamentary majority in the 14th general election. On the other hand, the Pakatan Harapan coalition led by the former premier of Malaysia for 22 years, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, is hoping to defeat the ruling coalition for the first time in history.

In one last bid to win voters, both Najib and Mahathir will be delivering their respective speeches at 10pm tonight, 8 May

Image via Malaysiakini

Najib is scheduled to address the nation in a special broadcast programme that will be aired nationwide. Those who are interested can also watch the live broadcast via Najib’s official Facebook page and YouTube, as well as on Najib's official website, NajibRazak.com.

Meanwhile, Mahathir will deliver his final campaign speech in Langkawi, the constituency he is contesting in for GE14. His speech will be broadcasted live via his official Facebook account and sites such as Ubah.tv, and it will also be shown at other political rallies across the country, as the PH chairman targets to reach an audience of 10 million voters.

RIP Thatcher: Witch Song To Celebrate Her Death Is No.2 In Charts

"Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead" song to celebrate Thatcher's death is second in British pop charts

Many people voted for Margaret Thatcher in the North East, but for some she's now a hate figure

        bbc.co.uk

      Unsupported video platform

A campaign by opponents of Margaret Thatcher to get the song “Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead” to the top of the British pop charts failed to reach no.1.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The witch song from the 'Wizard of Oz' to celebrate Margeret Thatcher's death did however reach second place on the British pop charts.

        themalaysianinsider.com

That opposition was manifested in a Facebook campaign to propel the song to number one in the charts, provoking anger from politicians of all parties, right-leaning media, and members of the public.

        reuters.com

The top 40 best-selling singles are played weekly on BBC Radio but the broadcaster said it would only pay a five-second clip of the song as part of a news item.

        abc.net.au

"I understand the concerns about this campaign," BBC director-general Tony Hall said. "However, I do believe it would be wrong to ban the song outright as free speech is an important principle."

        abc.net.au

More protests are expected on Wednesday when a ceremonial funeral with military honours is held at St Paul's Cathedral
- a tribute usually reserved for senior royal family members.

The boy, named Jack, also yelled: 'Thatcher's dead!' with his father, who gave his name as Howard.

1 Year As PM: Muhyiddin Says Protecting Both Lives And Livelihoods Are PN's Top Priority

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

In conjunction with Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin serving one full year as Malaysia's eighth Prime Minister, he made a special address to the nation at 10am today, 1 March

In his almost one-hour long speech, Muhyiddin began by saying he is grateful to be able to gather today to celebrate 'Setahun Malaysia Prihatin' — which is also the theme of the address."Today marks the one-year anniversary of the formation of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government," he said."Over the past year, we have faced a major crisis that threatens the lives of the people, namely the COVID-19 pandemic.""The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in not only a global health crisis, but also an economic crisis on a scale that has never experienced globally since the 1930s.""Our country is no exception to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 300,000 people were infected with the virus and the country's economy shrank by 5.6% in 2020."

Due to that, Muhyiddin said protecting the lives and livelihoods of Malaysians are PN's top priority

			Our main challenge is to strike a fine balance between protecting lives and livelihoods.
        Muhyiddin

To achieve that, he said the government implemented the Movement Control Order (MCO) to safeguard Malaysians' lives, while introducing RM305 billion worth of economic stimulus packages to protect citizens' livelihoods.He then thanked frontliners for battling the pandemic and successfully overcoming the first two waves of the outbreak, adding that the third wave is currently on a downward trend.Muhyiddin commended Malaysia's healthcare system for not only being able to survive amidst the crisis, but also effectively treating COVID-19 patients."The mortality rate due to COVID-19 in Malaysia is among the lowest in the world, which is below 0.4% and more than 90% of those infected have fully recovered," he related.

Commenting on the economic damage caused by the pandemic, Muhyiddin said Malaysia's economy contracted 28.7% in April 2020, before seeing an improvement in December 2020 with only a 1.7% contraction

He said the unemployment rate has also decreased from 5.3% in May 2020 to 4.8% in December 2020.The Prime Minister stressed that the reopening of the economy is crucial during the current MCO because Malaysia is a trading nation that relies on exports."The impact of the second MCO in its early stages. With only manufacturing and part of the retail and construction industries allowed to operate at 100% capacity, (it is predicted that the impact) is three times lower than the first MCO," he said."However, the loss of revenue is still huge at around RM633 million a day. As a result of that, the government directed that all economic activities in the services, retail, and construction sectors be allowed to operate at a 100% capacity while complying with strict standard operation procedures (SOPs). Permission to operate for these economic activities provides an opportunity for companies to continue generating income."With these measures, Muhyiddin quoted projections from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank as saying that Malaysia's economy will grow at a rate of 7% and 6.7% respectively in 2021.In comparison, he said the world's gross domestic product (GDP) is projected to recover at 5.5%, while world trade is projected to grow at 8.1%.

Muhyiddin understands that Malaysians are currently going through a hard time

During the pandemic, he said some of those who were previously in the T20 group have become the M40 and part of the M40 group has become the B40 group. "Those in the B40 group are getting poorer due to the economic downturn," he revealed.He said he will chair a Cabinet committee to fight issues pertinent to poverty. Among the implementations under the poverty eradication programme, he said the committee will look into increasing the Poverty Line 2021 (PGK 2021) from RM980 to RM2,208. According to him, the move will increase the number of poor households and groups receiving aid from the government.When talking about the unity of the country, Muhyiddin thanked Malaysians for supporting each other in the face of crisis. "This role is played at the level of individuals, local communities, voluntary organisations, or through private sector corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes that provide assistance to those in need regardless of race and religion is a commendable attitude that we must continue as Malaysians," he said.

Before ending his speech, he reasserted that the declaration of emergency is solely meant to combat COVID-19

Muhyiddin said that this is the first emergency in Malaysia that has an expiration date."The main focus of this government at this moment is to steer this country clear of the double whammy of health and economic crises," said the Pagoh Member of Parliament (MP)."Once the pandemic is over, which I hope will be very soon, I will advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to dissolve the Parliament.""When the election is held, of course, we will leave it to the people to decide whether the PN government should be re-elected or otherwise. You are free to choose and that is what democracy is all about."He also took the opportunity to thank the foreign help that Malaysia received during this period.

Here's A Quick Look At The Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 As It Moves Into Wave 3

The Ministry of Education is committed to continuously improving Malaysia's education system at every level, from preschool to post-secondary education

Image via The ASEAN Post

At its core, the goal and purpose of our education system is to equip Malaysian students holistically and enable them to fulfil their potential. Since every student is different, the ministry also understands the importance of tailoring their approach to help bring out the talents of each individual.

To this end, the Malaysia Education Blueprint (MEB) 2013-2025 was developed for a sustainable transformation of our education system

Image via The Straits Times

MEB carefully sets out the fundamental changes that are required in our current education system, making sure each aspect of learning is accounted for.From how we approach student learning, to the way we recruit, train, and reward our teachers and principals, right up to how the Ministry of Education itself operates, the MEB charts out a process for that change. In doing so, it also lays out clear improvements on the factors that really matter, along every step of the journey.

While the targets set in MEB may seem ambitious, they are entirely achievable. Here are some of the targets outlined in the blueprint:

			1. Ensuring universal enrolment from preschool to upper secondary education2. Narrowing the achievement gaps between the rich and poor, urban and rural, and between states3. Rising from the bottom-third to top-third of countries in international assessments like Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS)4. Building an education system that gives children an appreciation for our unique identity as Malaysians

On top of that, the MEB also resonates with the UNESCO's Sustainable Development Goal 4, which is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Image via Fliptechm

Here is a brief glimpse of the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025:

Image via Ministry of Education

The plan includes five system aspirations: access, quality, equity, unity, and efficiency. It also outlines six student aspirations: knowledge, bilingual proficiency, thinking skills, ethics and spirituality, leadership skills, and national identity.Split into three waves between 2013 to 2025, the blueprint sets out fundamental changes that need to be made, from how we approach student learning and recruit teachers, to how the Ministry of Education operates. As we enter Wave 3, the focus is to move towards excellence and increased operational flexibility.

To ensure that the aspirations set out in the MEB are met, there are deadlines as well as a yearly report to monitor the achievements

Every year, the Ministry of Education comes up with a yearly report to share the highlights, progress, challenges, and setbacks of the implementation. Sometimes, course corrections are required. What's unique about the MEB is that it's not just a document that has been carved in stone, but it's a living document that embraces changes with time.Read the annual reports in detail by visiting the Education Performance and Delivery Unit (PADU) website.

All in all, education reform doesn't happen overnight, and instead requires the continuous efforts of parents, teachers, students, and the government alike

Thankfully, the MEB gives us all a comprehensive idea of how we can continue to improve our education system. While it may seem like a long road ahead, we can be rest assured that progress is made every step of the way. :)

"Dia Goncang Badan & Ketuk Kepala Adam" - Aduan Dari Kanak-Kanak Bawah Jagaan Suspek

Laporan terkini telah mendedahkan bahawa suspek sebenarnya telah menggoncang badan dan mengetuk kepala arwah Adam Rayqal sehingga bayi itu mengalami kecederaan serius di kepala

Image via Facebook

Berita ini telah diberitahu oleh Zian Hafiz Ahamad Zawati, 36, bapa kepada kanak-kanak yang turut berada di bawah jagaan pengasuh yang menjaga Adam.Menurut laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Harian Metro, Zian memberitahu bahawa kedua-dua anaknya, Ahmad Zayyan Putra, 5, dan Nur Imanina Arisa Putri, 3, dihantar ke rumah pengasuh yang sama sejak dua minggu lalu.

Ketika isterinya, Norita Abdul Wahab, 40, menjemput anak mereka untuk pulang dari rumah pengasuh tersebut, suspek langsung tidak kelihatan resah atau bingung tentang apa yang berlaku

"Apabila saya pulang ke rumah kira-kira 10 malam pada hari kejadian, isteri memaklumkan dia terlihat status di Facebook mengenai kehilangan bayi berkenaan sebelum dikejutkan dengan berita kematiannya pada pagi semalam."Sebaik bangun dari tidur kira-kira 9 pagi semalam, saya bertanya kepada anak sulung sekiranya dia ada melihat sesuatu yang berlaku ketika berada di rumah pengasuh itu. Anaknya memaklumkan bahawa dia melihat suspek menggoncang badan serta mengetuk kepala Adam kerana asyik menangis sejak pagi sebelum Adam tiba-tiba senyap.

Mereka berdua mengenali suspek melalui laman Facebook kerana suspek sering mempromosikan dirinya sebagai seorang pengasuh

Zian juga menambah bahawa dia serta isteri telah bersetuju untuk menggunakan khidmat wanita itu dengan upah sebanyak RM650 sebulan bagi mengasuh kedua-dua anaknya itu. "Sepanjang tempoh itu, anak-anak tidak pernah mengadu apa-apa mengenai pengadu. Malah, Zayyan memaklumkan wanita itu kerap memberi mereka makan nasi ayam sehingga saya perasan ada peningkatan pada berat badan anak-anak."Apabila perkara ini terjadi, saya amat terkejut dan takut pada masa sama kerana kejadian itu boleh terjadi kepada anak-anak saya," kata Zian.

Suspek pertama.

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

After a long day at work, the last thing you want to do is to undo every single button on your shirt.
But, there's a quick and easy way to do this. Apparently.

According to TikTok user @Orhceh, by holding one side of the shirt flap firmly at the bottom, you can swipe all of the buttons off at one-go.

The thing is that it only seems to work on UNIQLO shirts with horizontal button slits.After watching his video, which received over 15,000 likes, people asked him to test it out with other UNIQLO shirts to prove this theory:

  @orhceh Reply to @iazalea works for all my uniqlo button tops!  Hey Ya! - Outkast

Another TikTok user also decided to try the method on multiple UNIQLO shirts.
And all of them worked!

In her video posted last week, 17 June, @notfizbo shows her trying to do it on regular button shirts as well, and none of them worked like the UNIQLO tops.

  @notfizbo #stitch with @Orhceh also my uniqlo shirts have both horizontal and vertical button holes so i don't understand how this is possible???   original sound - Almadea - Almadea

Amazed by the discovery, here's what people had to say:
