"I'm an only child so my mum and I are super close. It was quite tough on both of us when I went to study overseas for uni. Especially being apart on special occasions. So one year I decided to surprise my mum by secretly flying home for her birthday! Skipping class and spending quite a bit on last minute flight tickets were totally worth it to have those few days together.Also, her reaction was so priceless. She screamed the house down, hugging me non-stop and crying!"- Gowri, 25

2. The meaningful yearly ritual

"I've been supporting an orphanage for many years. Every month, I make sure to set aside some money from my salary. Then at the end of the year, I kumpul all that money to buy school uniforms and school books for all the kids there."- Budi, 35

3. A fangirl's best gift ever

"One of my closest friends from college is a HUGE Potterhead and has an ever-growing collection of Harry Potter merch. One year for her birthday, our whole gang chipped in so we could get her something super special: an actual replica of Harry's wand from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! To this day, she says it's the best birthday present she's ever received."- Gwen, 25

4. Fulfilling a father's dream

"It's always been my father's dream to travel somewhere by plane, but he's never been able to afford it. I saved up for six months to buy flight tickets to China for both him and my mother. We both choked up when he called me from the plane before take-off to thank me for making his dream come true."- Haikal, 32

5. Spreading the love for reading

"I've always had a love for books and reading since I was a kid. At one point, I volunteered part time at a public library. They didn't really have much budget to constantly update their collection with new books so I would occasionally use my own money to buy and donate some. Always felt really puas whenever I saw someone reading the books I donated."- Esther, 26

6. The anniversary present

Image via Pinterest (edited by SAYS)

"My wife absolutely loves to cook. And not just for our daily meals, she genuinely loves to spend her free time trying out new recipes for fun, and even runs her own food blog. The kitchen is literally her happy place.There's a whole bunch of stuff that she's been dying to make but can't because we don't have an oven. We recently moved to a new place and finally have enough kitchen space for an oven, so I decided to surprise her with her dream oven on the day we moved in."- Bob, 30

Proton Will Reportedly Launch Its First SUV Later This Year. Here’s What It Will Look Like

Proton, the local carmaker which had 49.9% of its stock sold to Chinese company Geely mid-last year, is reportedly launching an SUV in the fourth quarter of 2018

Image via PanduLaju

Citing an industry source, The Malaysian Reserve reported that Proton's first SUV is based on the Geely Boyue, a five-seat SUV.The original form of the Boyue first made its appearance here in June 2017 during the agreement signing ceremony, which saw the Chinese company taking up a significant stake in Proton and its Lotus subsidiary.

Measuring 4.5 metres long, the Boyue was designed by former Volvo designer Peter Horbury, who currently heads Geely’s design studios in Gothenburg, Shanghai, Barcelona, and Los Angeles

Image via Car News China

In China, it is offered with a range of engines which include a 2.4 litre four-cylinder engine and a 1.8 litre turbocharged unit. Transmission options include a six-speed manual or automatic, depending on engine choice.

The source told the English daily that the Boyue must undergo testing and evaluation processes before it can be launched

The SUV is expected to be available for driving tests in October 2018, once the right-hand drive conversion and other certifications from relevant authorities are completed."The process will include a certification from NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme) and SIRIM (Scientific and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia) before it can be released to the market.The process will take one year at least, to obtain these certifications," the source said.

The source added that the rebadged Boyue will be priced with affordability in mind, as Proton hopes to penetrate the SUV market that's currently being dominated by Japanese carmakers

Image via CARETA

"Boyue is currently priced around RM68,500 (110,000 yuan) in China, while competitors such as the Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 are sold at over RM100,000.But its (the rebadged Boyue’s) features, affordable price and attractive design would be a game changer to the SUV market," the source claimed.It is believed Proton's plant in Tanjung Malim will be able to provide support for the production of the vehicle.

Following the report by The Malaysian Reserve, photos of the Boyue - which were apparently captured in Penang - have appeared on social media

The photos posted by Penang Kini show a fleet of Boyue at Autocity, a car showroom located in Juru, Penang.What's interesting is that the photos apparently indicate that a right-hand drive mule is completed on some units.

'Cukai Pelancongan' Berkuat Kuasa Mulai Ogos, Bilik Hotel Akan Lebih Mahal Sehingga RM20

[TERKINI] "Cukai Pelancongan bermula pada Julai, bukan Ogos," kata Datuk Seri Nazri

Image via SAYS via The Malay Mail

Walaupun keputusan dikritik, pelaksanaan Cukai Pelancongan akan tetap diteruskan mulai 1 Julai ini.Berdasarkan laporan dari Bernama, Menteri Pelancongan dan Kebudayaan Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, sekali gus menolak laporan berita bahawa pelaksanaan cukai berkenaan mungkin ditangguhkan."Warta (Cukai Pelancongan) ini automatik, mengikut prosedur negara apabila dilulus oleh Parlimen maka pewartaan itu automatik. Jadi yang berkuasa dalam melakukan undang-undang ialan Parlimen dan pewartaan itu hanya formaliti saja."Kalau nak kata belum warta, itu betul, tapi bukan boleh menghalang kehendak anggota Parlimen kita yang telah sebulat suara meluluskan kerana cukai ini akan dilaksanakan, dan pasti akan dilaksanakan. Jadi sasaran kita ialah 1 Julai," katanya.

7 Jun 2017: Bermula Ogos, pelancong perlu membayar 'Cukai Pelancongan' sehingga RM20 untuk menginap di mana-mana hotel sekitar negara

Image via agoda.net

Pelancong yang dimaksudkan termasuklah rakyat Malaysia, bukan sahaja orang asing. Ia bakal dilaksanakan selepas Rang Undang-Undang Cukai Pelancongan diluluskan di Parlimen pada sidang yang lalu.Menurut info yang diperoleh dari Jabatan Kastam Diraja Malaysia, cukai pelancongan akan dikenakan bermula dari RM2.50 bagi sebuah bilik hotel untuk satu malam.

Cukai ini akan dipungut dari semua jenis premis yang digunakan sebagai tempat tinggal bagi pelancong

Walau bagaimanapun, ini tidak termasuk homestay atau Kampung Stay, premis yang diurus oleh institusi (pendidikan), premis yang digunakan untuk tujuan latihan, institusi agama, serta insitusi kerajaan dan badan-badan berkanun di mana kemudahan itu tidak digunakan untuk tujuan komersial.Premis yang mempunyai kurang daripada 10 bilik juga dikecualikan.

Selain itu, Cukai Pelancongan merupakan caj tambahan di sebalik cukai yang telah terlaksana seperti GST dan cukai perkhidmatan (service charge)

Menteri Pelancongan dan Kebudayaan Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz berkata, kerajaan boleh mengutip sehingga RM654 juta jika kadar penginapan adalah pada 60 peratus.

A decomposed body of a woman was found near an undergrowth at Puncak Bukit Mutiara around 1.00 pm by a man who was in the area looking for empty cans and bottles.Timur Laut district police chief ACP Mior Faridalatrash Wahid said the victim, in her 30s, was clad in a T-shirt and short pants and believed to have died not more than 10 days ago.

        themalaysianinsider.com

He said the body was found with a blanket on top of it next to a cardboard box about 20m from the hill road.“She did not have any document on her. We suspect the box was used to dump the body at the scene,” ACP Mior told reporters at the scene.

        thestar.com.my

According to Georgetown OCPD ACP Mior Faridalathrash Wahid, post mortem results indicated that the woman was killed at least 10 days before her body was discovered. There were also no signs of struggle on the victim's body, suggesting that she was not killed by a stranger.

Police identified the deceased from a name on a bracelet she was wearing and after checking her Facebook account.“The victim and the suspect were housemates for almost 10 years,” Mior said.

        themalaymailonline.com

Police believe that the motive of the murder was an unsettled RM8,000 loan. ACP Mior added that a lorry driver may have been roped into the crime as an unsuspecting accomplice.

The woman was believed to have been killed in her house before the body being taken to Pearl Hill by the suspect and an accomplice using a rented lorry.“The lorry driver did not know he was helping to dump a murder victim,” Mior said.

Lawyer Urges Chinese To Stop Speaking In Dialect When Together With Other Malaysians

A lawyer's recent Twitter post has gone viral urging Chinese Malaysians to stop speaking in dialects when they are around other races who cannot understand the same language

Lim Wei Jiet wrote in his tweet on 10 May that he detests when Chinese Malaysians speak to each other in Mandarin or Cantonese whenever there are other races present who cannot understand the language."I've seen it in professional settings, team lunches, etc. It's just cringy, unbelievably rude and makes others feel very excluded," Jiet added, saying that this is based on personal views and not reflective of any organisation he is a part of.

His tweet, which has since received almost 9,000 retweets, has prompted Malaysians to share their own experiences

One person commented how people often assume she cannot understand their language based on how she looks

Another person said that this is an issue among other races too, not exclusive to Chinese Malaysians

The aim is to be inclusive in general, explained one netizen.

While one netizen reasoned that being inclusive goes both ways and that those who speak English fluently should encourage those who don't

Several netizens, including Jiet, revealed potential ways to curb the problem

Tommy Thomas As Govt's Choice Of AG Gets Support From Lawyers And Netizens

The Pakatan Harapan (PH) government has proposed veteran lawyer and constitutional expert Tommy Thomas as its choice to replace Mohamed Apandi Ali, who is currently on forced leave, as the new Attorney-General

Tommy Thomas

The Malaysia Insight reported that Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad wrote to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V with the proposal more than 10 days ago, and that the decision to appoint the respected barrister of over 40 years is supported by all four PH parties.

However, Tun Dr Mahathir's suggestion has reportedly not been acted on.
Instead, the King and the Conference of Rulers have allegedly pushed for the role of A-G to be given to a Malay-Muslim candidate.

Image via AFP

According to The Malaysian Insight, the choice of a non-Muslim A-G has reportedly prompted messages to be relayed from the palace to Tun Dr Mahathir, asking him to consider several other candidates.A source close to the palace claimed that four other names have been recommended to the prime minister, including a former High Court judge and a serving Court of Appeal judge, The Star reported.Contrary to some reports, the source also said that, "The King's argument is that he wants somebody who has been a judge or even a retired judge," and that race is not an issue.

Constitutional lawyers have since chimed in on the matter, arguing that the King must appoint the new A-G according to the prime minister's advice

Image via Saw Siow Feng/HAKAM

Constitutional lawyer Dr Gurdial Singh Nijar told The Malaysian Insight that, "There is no choice. If he doesn't, for ill health or other reasons, then the Deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong (Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah) can step in."

Image via Malaysia Stylo News

Lawyer Syahredzan Johan echoed the sentiments, adding that, "The only requirement is that the person must be qualified to be a Federal Court judge."He explained that to qualify as a Federal Court judge, a person must be a Malaysian who has served as a lawyer or a member of the judicial and legal service, or both, for at least a decade, according to Article 123 of the Federal Constitution.

Image via ISMA Web

Hanipa Maidin, who chairs the Legal Bureau of Parti Amanah Negara, pointed out that, "Wasn't the previous AG - who was chosen by the Barisan Nasional regime - a Malay/Muslim? But look at the damage he did to the reputation and good name of the institution of the AG.""I want to remind everyone that this Malaysia is a country for all, not for (a particular) race, ethnic group or religion. Full stop," he added, according to The Star.

Meanwhile, netizens have also taken to social media to express their support for Tommy Thomas as the new A-G

Until and unless candidates for office are considered based on merit and skill, and not on race and religion, Malaysia will go nowhere. Any practicing lawyer will tell you Tommy Thomas is more than qualified to be appointed AG. Tun M must see this through. @anwaribrahim @n_izzah https://t.co/yKvIBAhCvT— Edward Kuruvilla (@edwardkuruvilla) June 2, 2018

On the AG matter, I would love to see Tommy Thomas appointed as AG. It’s going to be a waste to deprive the best just because the skin of his or her colour or religion.— rockstarpete (@peterkhoon) June 2, 2018

had to google Tommy Thomas as I have no idea who he is..BUT, if google can be trusted, Tommy comes with a 5 Star rating AND a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED reputation.— CikTeh™ (@AdaApaDgnCikTeh) June 2, 2018

Last month, the Malaysian Bar has proposed that its former president Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan be considered for the role:

Tun Dr Mahathir To Discuss Reopening Altantuya's Murder Case With Her Father Today

The father of Altantuya Shaariibuu will be meeting Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today, 20 June, to discuss reopening the investigation into her killing

Image via @AmyChewCNA/Twitter

"I never thought that the Prime Minister will ever receive me. I understand the PM is interested in seeking justice for this case," Setev Shaariibuu told reporters yesterday, Channel NewsAsia reported."I am full of hope that the new government will do everything under its power to render justice and bring an end to grief and suffering of my family," he said, adding that, "The previous government did everything to prevent the truth from emerging."

According to Shaariibuu's lawyer, Ramkarpal Singh, the meeting is scheduled for 5pm in Putrajaya

"We hope to discuss various matters with him, including the possibility of convening a Royal Commission of Inquiry into her death," said Singh."At this juncture, we would like him to appreciate how far the father has come in his quest for justice," he added.

After meeting with Attorney-General Tommy Thomas yesterday, 19 June, Singh is optimistic that the case of Altantuya's murder will be reopened

"He (A-G) did not give a time frame but he indicated it would not be long, very likely there will be a reopening of the investigation," Singh told reporters after their meeting with Thomas.Though the lawyer could not reveal what the leads of the case are, he said that, "There are a mixed of old and news one. There is enough basis for the case to be reopened.""Those responsible could be brought to justice," he said, according to The Star.

“Jangan Ajar Anak Masa Berdiri” - Nasihat Makcik Ini Tentang Cara Didik Anak Memang Power

Sebagai ibu bapa, pastinya anda inginkan yang terbaik buat anak-anak anda. Namun begitu, cara untuk anda melentur dan membentuk anak-anak anda perlulah dengan cara yang betul supaya senang untuk mereka fahami.

Tidak dinafikan, dalam dunia ini terdapat kanak-kanak yang mungkin kurang kasih sayang dan belaian daripada ibu bapa mereka sewaktu kecil. Oleh itu, perkara tersebut telah membuatkan mereka protes dan melakukan perkara yang tidak sewajarnya ketika meningkat dewasa.Namun ianya bukanlah 100% salah ibu bapa ataupun anak-anak. Mungkin keadaan tidak mengizinkan atau masalah peribadi lain yang dihadapi ketika proses pembesaran.

Ada juga ibu bapa yang keliru tentang bagaimana cara yang terbaik untuk mereka mendidik anak-anak supaya mereka boleh dilenturkan dengan lebih mudah dan menjadi seorang yang berjaya di masa yang akan datang.Baca perkongsian seorang wanita berwarga Cina yang telah memberikan nasihat berbentuk tips yang sangat berguna untuk ibu bapa di luar sana.

Image via Nurul Atika Moktar / Facebook

Perkongsian ini telah ditulis sendiri oleh seorang pengguna Facebook iaitu Nurul Atika Moktar.

Tips didik anak ini diberikan oleh aunty yang menjual ketika sedang membeli barang di pasar. Memang sangat berguna.

Pergi pasar dengan Adra tadi, sorang aunty cina tu bagi tips cara ajar anak. Anak dia 2 org master. Sorang kerja kat China, sorang kat Hong Kong."Anak kecil lagi macam ni jangan paksa dia tengok buku. Telefon jangan bagi lama. You kena selalu tanya dia. Macam harini you pergi pasar. Bagitahu dia ini sayur apa ini ikan apa. Sayur ini warna apa. Nanti balik bapak dia balik, suruh dia cerita sama bapak dia. Mak bawak pergi mana. Beli apa. Beli berapa. Warna apa. Bagi anak you recall, bagi dia boleh cerita semua details.""Dekat rumah, jangan ajar anak masa you berdiri. You tinggi dia rendah, nanti dia rasa ada jarak. You duduk sama dia, baru dia rasa senang dengan you. Jangan selalu ajar ajar ajar dia. Nanti dia rasa tekanan. Ajar 10 minit, kasi dia main. Nanti dia sudah main happy2, you panggil dia "lai" sini mama mau tanya"Bila bagi anak barang/makanan. Ajar dia untuk kongsi. Contoh bila you kasi dia apple, "nak sikit". Ajar dari kecil bila ada barang ke apa ke, tu bukan dia sorang punya. Lagi2 share dengan parents. Nanti dah besar dia akan ingat parents.

Bukan itu sahaja, jika ibu bapa buat silap juga perlu minta maaf dan turunkan ego sebagai orang tua mereka. Tidak semestinya ibu bapa sentiasa betul, anak-anak sentiasa salah.

Lagi aunty tu pesan. Kalau mak bapak ada buat salah, jangan ego taknak mintak maaf."Oh ya, mama salah tadi..sorry"Ada lagi. "Nanti anak sekolah, jangan marah dia tak dapat nombor 1. You marah ke tak marah ke sama. Benda sudah jadi. Kalau semua orang dapat nombor 1 siapa nak dapat nombor last?Jangan banding2 anak you dengan orang lain. Sama macam kita orang susah makan ikan kecik. Itu taukey besar makan ikan mahal besar. Dia kenyang kita pun kenyang"

Okay. Kat sini mungkin aunty tu nak sampaikan yang rezeki masing2. Jadi, bersyukurlah. Dia just cakap kalau suka bandingkan nanti anak akan rasa hasad dengki pada orang. (Selalu kan kita bandingkan anak tanpa sedar? Eh anak dia dah pandai baca, anak aku belum.haa contohhh. Tak ke kecik hati anak tu)Banyak lagi dia ajar tadi sampai kebas tangan pegang ayam & ikan tadi.Pergi mana2 pun kita boleh dapat ilmu baru tau. Ni ilmu parenting. :)

Anak-anak merupakan amanah dari Allah. Didik dan peliharalah mereka dengan baik. :)

"Eii Apalah Umur 29 Tak Kahwin Lagi" - Definisi Sebenar Kahwin Muda Menurut Neraca Ilmu

Dalam masyarakat kita, wanita yang lambat berkahwin akan dilabel anak dara tua (andartu) atau anak dara lanjut usia (andalusia)

Soal kahwin lambat ini selalunya melibatkan kaum wanita. Bahkan, kaum ini amat sensitif bila orang sekeliling mempersoalkan isu kahwin lambat. Manakan tidak, umur semakin hari semakin meningkat tetapi masih tidak kahwin. Lebih stress apabila ada mulut-mulut yang bertanya, "Kau bila nak kahwin?"

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via OhBulan!

Bukan itu sahaja, sekarang ini boleh dikatakan seperti satu trend untuk kahwin pada usia yang muda. Malah rakan-rakan sekeliling juga ramai yang kahwin awal iaitu dalam lingkungan 24 tahun. Mereka kini sudah pun mempunyai 2 atau 3 orang anak.Nak buat macam mana? Bukan kita yang minta untuk kahwin lambat. Bahkan kajian juga sudah mendapati 86.8% penduduk bujang berumur 25 hingga 49 tahun di negara ini mempunyai hasrat untuk berkahwin, namun memberi alasan mereka melewatkan perkahwinan disebabkan masalah kewangan dan peningkatan kos sara hidup, selain tidak jumpa pasangan serasi.

Satu perkongsian menarik oleh Mohamad Dhiyauddin bin Abdul Kadir atau lebih dikenali sebagai Ustaz Ad-Dien Abd Kadir tentang kahwin muda telah membuka minda para netizen

Ustaz Ad-Dien mempunyai pendidikan dalam bidang Islamic Contemporary Studies dan merupakan penerbit kepada naskhah #AsamGaram.Dalam perkongsiannya, dikatakan fenomena kahwin muda ini hanya tercetus disebabkan oleh mentaliti orang sekeliling yang merasakan usia yang sesuai untuk berkahwin adalah ketika anda masih muda iaitu dalam lingkungan 19 hingga 23 tahun dan pada usia 27 tahun, anda dikira sudah lanjut usia.Walhal, setiap mazhab itu mempunyai definisi umur muda yang berbeza. Jadi, apakah maksud sebenar kahwin muda?

Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Kahwin muda mesti umur bawah 25 ke?Fenomena kahwin muda semakin mendapat tempat dalam masyarakat kita. Biasanya mentaliti orang kita (khasnya pejuang kahwin muda) anggap kahwin muda tu ialah kahwin di usia muda dalam lingkungan bawah 25 tahun contoh nikah lepas SPM ke atau masa sedang belajar di universiti (umur 19-23). Kalau kahwin umur 27 hingga 30 tu dikira macam bukan kahwin muda lagi.

Image via Hanasuva

So, sebenarnya apa maksud kahwin muda ni?Dalam hadith sahih riwayat Al-Bukhari dan Muslim, Nabi menganjurkan berkahwin kepada Syabab (orang muda/pemuda) yang sudah ada kemampuan/keinginan.Isu yang nak difokuskan ialah siapakah Syabab (orang muda) tu? Adakah orang muda tu maksudnya orang yang berumur 18-25?Jawabnya tidak!Mazhab Syafie berpendapat orang muda itu ialah mereka yang mula baligh hingga mereka yang berumur 30 tahun sebagaimana yang disebutkan oleh Imam An-Nawawi.Imam Al-Qurtubi dan Az-Zamakhshari berpendapat sehingga usia 32 tahun.Mazhab Maliki berpendapat dikira pemuda mereka yang dibawah umur 40 tahun sebagaimana yang disebutkan oleh Imam Ibn As-Shas.Bahkan Imam Ibn Qutaibah menyatakan had pemuda itu sehingga 50 tahun!

Image via Bercinta Selepas Nikah

Jadi kalau ikut pandangan had pemuda yang paling rendah (kita ambil Mazhab Syafie) , umur 30 tu dikira orang muda lah. Umur 30-40 tu disebut kahl (dewasa/pertengahan umur). Umur 50 keatas baru disebut Syaikh (orang tua).Tak perlu nak tergesa-gesa, kalut dan set umur tertentu untuk #LifeGoals kononnya;“Aku mesti kawin sebelum umur 25...”Tak perlu juga skeptikal, judge dan pandang pelik sangat bila orang kahwin lambat sikit;“Eii apalah dah umur 29 tak kawin-kawin lagi. Dah tua kot.. ”

Image via Rotikaya

Ini lah definisi kahwin muda menurut neraca ilmu.Jadinya nak bagitau, tak kisahlah kahwin lepas SPM ke, masa study ke, umur 27 ke, 30 ke..semua tu dikira kahwin muda menurut ulama’ silam.Kalau ada yang nak ambil pendapat Mazhab Malik atau Ibn Qutaibah pun takpe. Itu hak masing-masing.So, chill okay?

Tak kisahlah kahwin lambat, janji bahagia.
Yang umur dah lebih dari 25 tahun tapi masih belum kahwin tu, chill je. Anda masih muda!

Not only does Malaysia produce some of the best cuisine in the world, we also have some of the best chefs too! Kwen, from Ipoh, just became the first Malaysian female chef to be awarded with a Michelin star in February 2018. The Ipoh-born chef has a Diplôme of Pastry, and has worked in Australia as well as Thailand before moving to France. Kwen and her husband then decided to open their own restaurant - Pertinence - in Paris, serving "French cuisine adorned with Japanese technique". The restaurant has only been opened for barely a year before it was visited by Michelin inspectors and awarded its first star.

Kwen is also one of the only two female chefs to receive a Michelin star in this year's Michelin Guide France. When asked about the challenges she faced in the male-dominated culinary industry, she told the interviewer that she had to start "acting like a man when in the kitchen" to prove herself to her team of chefs.

Shio Chuan's debut film, 'Guang', was just shortlisted for four awards at the Shanghai International Film Festival - Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress. The feature film tells the story about a young man with autism who is on a quest to look for the 'perfect' glass. The story is something close to Shio Chuan's heart as well as it's inspired by his experience growing up with an autistic brother.

In an interview, Shio Chuan said that filming 'Guang' was "a very long journey" and a really difficult process. However, he and his team's determination and perseverance eventually paid off as the film has since been shortlisted for a few international awards.

Supervisor Who Beat A Security Guard With His Baton To Spend 4 Months Behind Bars

The Kuala Lumpur Magistrate's Court has ordered a supervisor to spend four months behind bars for beating a security guard in July

Magistrate Wong Chai Sia passed the sentence on 11 August after the supervisor, who was identified as Ram Gopal Murau, pleaded guilty to the charge read out to him in Bahasa Malaysia.Both the supervisor and the security guard are Nepali nationals.The court ordered the accused to serve the jail sentence from 3 August, the date of his arrest.The incident, where the guard was beaten by his supervisor, happened at a parking lot of a condominium in Wangsa Maju on 7 July. However, it came to light only after a video went viral on 30 July.In the video, the supervisor was seen physically assaulting the guard. He uses the baton to repeatedly hit the unresisting guard's back, arm, and legs. He is also seen punching the guard in the face.Throughout the video, the guard does not retaliate while the supervisor continues his beating.The video's virality prompted the Embassy of Nepal to lodge a police report on 31 July.Initially, there were conflicting claims about the supervisor's nationality with Wangsa Maju police chief Superintendent Rajab Ahad Ismail saying he is a Pakistani national and another former security guard saying he is a Malaysian Indian, the man was later revealed to be a Nepali national.Following which, the 34-year-old supervisor was arrested on 3 August with help from the Embassy and was remanded on 4 August for further investigation under Section 324 of the Penal Code.

Ram Gopal was charged under Section 324 of the Penal Code with voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means

The 34-year-old supervisor, who was unrepresented, appealed for a lenient sentence.However, deputy public prosecutor Wan Ahmad Hakimi Wan Ahmad Jaafar asked the court to impose an appropriate sentence to serve as a deterrent, according to Bernama.While Section 324 provides for a jail term of up to 10 years or with fine or with whipping or with any two of such punishments, the accused was only sentenced to four months by the Magistrate's Court.

Meanwhile, the security guard is being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code allegedly molesting an Indonesian woman:

It's not clear when exactly the alleged sexual assault incident happened.

[VID/PICS] World's First ‘Bionic Man’ A Reality, Can Breathe and Has its Own Heartbeat

WATCH: Bringing the Incredible Bionic Man to life!

      Unsupported video platform

The "Bionic Man" has between 60 and 70 percent the body function of a living human.

The parts come from 17 distributors spread across the globe, this is the first time they will be assembled into a humanoid machine. The parts will include a"working kidney and circulation system to cochlear and retina implants."

        washingtonpost.com

Researcher Bertolt Meyer, a lifelong user of prosthetic technology and the model for "Rex", the world's first "bionic man."
Image via nationalpost.com

"(It's) an attempt to showcase just how far medical science has gotten," lead roboticist of the project and Richard Walker, managing director of Shadow Robot Co., told the AP.

        hngn.com

The robot was modeled after Bertolt Meyer, a social psychologist at the University of Zurich who was born without the lower part of his arm and now sports a "bionic prosthesis."

        dailytelegraph.com.au

It's over six feet tall and can walk with the help of a Rex walking machine normally prescribed to people who have suffered spinal injuries.

        nbcnews.com

An electric heart pumps "blood" (which carries oxygen like human blood) through artificial veins. The robot even has a mechanical kidney.

First bionic man goes public

      Unsupported video platform

The museum exhibit, which opens to the public on Thursday, will explore changing perceptions of human identity against the background of rapid progress in bionics—although Rex is not strictly bionic.

        phys.org

Unveiled at a special exhibition at London’s Science Museum this week, the artificial human was created for a Channel 4 documentary called How to Build a Bionic Man. The project cost £640k ($1m).

        digitaltrends.com

Scientists, among them the creators of “Rex” - the world's most complete bionic man, unveiled in London this week - believe they can now replicate about two-thirds of the human body.

        iol.co.za

World's First Bionic Man

Rex, short for “Robotic Exoskeleton” according to Device Magazine, he has technology that allows him to hear, speak and move.

        theblaze.com

A mixture of Robocop and Frankenstein, Rex who has the face of a man is 6.5-feet tall with striking brown eyes.

        indiatimes.com

Pushing the boundaries of robotics and medicine, Rex could help pave the way for the use of artificial organs for transplants in the future.

        scienceworldreport.com

Swiss psychologist Bertolt Mayer views 'Rex,' a two-meter tall artificial human, at the Science Museum in London. Mayer, who uses a prosthetic hand himself, was used as the model for the 'bionic man.

        gmanetwork.com

Researcher, Bertolt Meyer

      Unsupported video platform

The skull of Rex’s head is modeled on Bertolt Meyer, a Swiss psychologist, who has a bionic hand himself and also is the presenter of the British Channel 4 News documentary on this project.

        redicecreations.com

The passive device he was fitted with at the time bears little comparison to the cutting edge prosthetic device he wears today as one of the first users of Touch Bionics' i-LIMB Pulse.

        touchbionics.com

Born with a congenitally missing lower left arm, Bertolt Meyer was fitted with his first prosthetic device when he was only three months old.

        touchbionics.com

Bertolt Meyer, a social psychologist from Switzerland who has a bionic hand himself met scientists working at the cutting edge of research to find out just how far this new technology can go.

Should We Lean Forwards Or Backwards? Here's How To Handle Nosebleeds At Home

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

Nosebleeds can be pretty scary - they always happen so suddenly and the blood never seems to stop flowing

Image via Northglen News

However, you shouldn't worry. Nosebleeds are usually not a sign of anything serious and can be managed in a few minutes.

According to NHS Inform, to properly stop a nosebleed:- Stay calm and firmly pinch your nostrils closed. Direct pressure for five to 10 minutes helps to stop the bleeding.- Lean forward and breathe through your mouth. This will keep the blood from draining to the back of your throat so you don't accidentally breathe it in and choke.- Sit upright and don't lie down. This reduces the blood pressure in the blood vessels at the back of your nose and will discourage further bleeding.- Place an ice pack (covered by a towel) over your nose. The localised cold can help constrict the blood vessels in the nose and lessen the bleeding.Although your initial reaction is to tilt your head back to stop the blood from falling onto your clothes or on the floor, it is better to lean forward to stop blood from entering your throat instead - you may be forced to swallow it (nothing bad will happen, it just tastes bad) or accidentally aspirate it into your lungs.If the bleeding eventually stops, you won't usually need to seek medical advice. However, if it doesn't stop, or lasts too long for your liking, seek help from a doctor or hospital.

Image via Corbis/South China Morning Post

If you know what triggers a nosebleed, you won't be caught by surprise next time

Several things can trigger a nosebleed. One of the most common causes of nosebleeds is hot and dry air.You see, the inside of your nose is full of tiny, delicate blood vessels that can bleed relatively easy if they are damaged.During really hot weather, the inside of the nose can get really dry and cracked, which combined with accidentally scratching the inside of the nose too hard, will cause a nosebleed.Other causes of nosebleeds include:- Picking your nose- Blowing your nose too hard frequently- Injuries caused by a fall or getting hit in your nose- Side effects of medication such as blood thinners- Allergies- High altitudes, where the air is thinAll this causes irritation to the mucus membranes inside the nose, and along with nose-picking, can damage them and cause bleeding.

Image via Teach Me Paediatrics

Simple advice would be to keep your fingernails short and to stop picking your nose so vigorously!

However, if you do have recurring nosebleeds, it is best to talk to a doctor about it.

Ibu ‘Pergi’ Sebelum Majlis Konvo Bermula, Lelaki Ini Dedikasikan Skrol Buat Ibu Tercinta

Hari yang sepatutnya membahagiakan bertukar menjadi satu momen yang paling tak dapat dilupakan

Itulah yang dirasakan oleh Muhammad Fahim Shamsuddin, 23 yang melupakan hasrat untuk naik ke atas pentas bagi menerima skrol Ijazah Sarjana Muda Sains Gunaan (Teknologi Maritim) apabila ibunya meninggal dunia di saat tinggal beberapa jam sahaja sebelum majlis konvokesyen berlangsung. Memetik laporan Harian Metro, Fahim yang merupakan pelajar di Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) sepatutnya meraikan hari bersejarah itu pada 17 November lalu sebelum ibunya, Rahayu Abu, 50, menghembuskan nafas terakhir jam 12.20 tengah malam di Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah (HSNZ) akibat komplikasi darah tinggi dan kencing manis.

Image via Berita Harian

Menurut Fahim, ibu sangat teruja untuk melihat dia menerima skrol ijazah

"Majlis konvokesyen Ahad namun ibu mahu bertolak Jumaat. Saya ikutkan saja permintaannya dan bercadang membawanya dan ayah ke tempat menarik di Kuala Terengganu."Namun ketika menginap di rumah bapa saudara di Kampung Tok Jembal, keadaan kesihatan ibu merosot apabila demam dan sesak nafas hingga dibawa ke hospital. Ketika dalam perjalanan ke hospital, ibu tidak sedarkan diri. "Ketika dirawat, doktor menyatakan ibu mengalami bengkak di otak dan bergantung kepada mesin pernafasan. Dia bagaimanapun disahkan meninggal dunia jam 12.20 tengah malam,” katanya.

Fahim bersama ibu.
Image via Harian Metro

Mujur ibu sempat lihat dia sarungkan jubah konvokesyen

"Selepas pulang daripada mengambil jubah konvokesyen, saya sempat menyarungnya kepada ayah serta menunjukkannya kepada arwah ibu dan saya melihat wajahnya gembira walaupun dia dalam keadaan lemah," kongsinya. Jenazah dibawa pulang ke kediaman mereka di Kampung Bohor Baru, Bera dan dikebumikan selepas solat Zohor di Tanah Perkuburan Islam Kampung Bohor Baru.

Sementara itu, pihak UMT mengadakan Majlis Khas Penyampaian Skrol Ijazah kepada Fahim bertempat di universiti tersebut

"Saya fikir, mungkin saya tak akan datang lagi ke UMT untuk terima ijazah. Kawan saya datang ke hospital bagi saya pakai jubah dan ambil gambar kenangan dengan ayah saya. Saya ingat, mungkin inilah gambar terakhir saya untuk kenangan."Saya terpaksa senyum juga walaupun saya memakai jubah ini di hadapan hospital sementara urusan jenazah.

"Ketemu seorang Fahim dan keluarganya, belajarlah abam tentang survival hidup dan sebuah ketentuan."Ayah Fahim akan kembali ke kampung halamannya, Juaseh Negeri Sembilan. Rumah di Bera, Pahang akan ditinggalkan sementara. Mungkin itu terbaik untuk keluarga ini. Si ayah semalam tidak mampu berkata apa-apa. Terlalu sedih dek kehilangan sebahagian hatinya."Kami di UMT gembira dapat melaksanakan konvokesyen khas tersebut. Ia merupakan kali pertama ia dilaksanakan sebegitu. Moga ia memberikan sedikit senyum buat keluarga ini," tulisnya.
