A driver in a Perodua Axia was caught on camera going against the direction of traffic on the highway

The Star reported that the incident took place yesterday, 10 November, at KM355.4 of the North-South Expressway. The video circulating Facebook, which shows the Perodua Axia crashing head-on with another car before being hit by a trailer, was recorded by another man driving the opposite lane.

Police explained that the man was crossing state borders while under the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) and started driving against traffic in order to avoid a police roadblock

Tapah district police chief Supt Wan Azharuddin Wan Ismail told The Star that the driver is a 34-year-old from Klang, Selangor, who was desperate to go home for Deepavali in Bidor, Perak.While on his journey, he spotted a police roadblock at the exit of the Sungkai toll and then decided to reverse back and drive against the traffic flow heading south.Azharuddin said, "While doing so, a driver of a Toyota Rush on the right lane was unable to avoid the Axia, and crashed head-on and spun a few times. Meanwhile, a trailer was also unable to avoid the car and crashed into it."

A Malaysian Turned In SGD1,000 To The Police And Netizens Are Praising Him For It

On 2 December, a Malaysian made a post in a local Facebook group in hopes of finding the owner of SGD1,000 (RM3,050) that was left behind at an ATM

Image via TrafficReportJBS/Facebook

32-year-old Jackson Lee, who works as a photographer in Singapore, posted up the notice in the TrafficReportJBS Facebook group on the same day he made a police report and handed in the stack of SGD50 notes to the Singapore Police Force.The incident happened at the Admiralty MRT station on 29 November around 9pm, presumedly while Lee was on the way back to Johor Bahru from work.

The post eventually went viral, with many netizens praising Lee's honest actions

At the time of writing, the post had garnered 255 comments and nearly 4,500 shares.

"Thank you for your honesty, your act of kindness has made society a brighter place."

Image via TrafficReportJBS/Facebook

"Tell the Singapore police to reward you with a 'Good Citizen' award."

"After you've done good deeds, you'll surely be rewarded."

While other commenters made jokes about keeping the money, Lee had a very matter-of-fact response to that

			The money isn't mine, so I didn't keep it.
        Jackson Lee to AsiaOne

"I really wanted to find him there but there were too many people. Giving it to the police is better," he continued, according to AsiaOne.He also reminded the man to bring his ATM withdrawal receipt to the police in order to collect the money.

Is This MH370 Cartoon That Appeared In The Washington Post Offensive?

Malaysian Cartoonist Zunar Has Been Slammed For Publishing A Cartoon That Criticises PM Najib's Weak Handling Of The MH370 Situation In The Washington Post

Malaysian cartoonist Zunar has been slammed for publishing a cartoon that criticizes PM Najib's weak handling of the MH370 situation in The Washington Post
Image via Zunar

The comic, which described Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as "Too Weak" as the search for the missing aircraft entered "Week Two" drew flak from various quarters.

        thestar.com.my

Zunar Was Quoted In The Washington Post Saying That The Malaysian Government Has Hidden So Much Information About The Missing Jet

According to Zunar, The Malaysian Government Has Hidden So Much Information About The Missing Jet
Image via article19.org

“The Malaysian government hid so [much] information about the jet. Now, the government tries to blame the pilot to cover up their own weakness in handling this case,” says Zunar, who in 2010 was arrested and briefly charged with sedition over a book of his political cartoons.

        washingtonpost.com

“Should the government act fast and [be] ready to share the information with other countries like the U.S. and China, … it will be a different scenario. But the question is: Why hide it?” continues Zunar, who in 2011 received the Courage in Editorial Cartooning Award from the Cartoonists Rights Network International.

        washingtonpost.com

He Holds The Government Accountable For Its Response At The Highest Levels And Mentioned That The PM Only "Opens His Mouth" On The Seventh Day

Zunar tells The Post’s Comic Riffs that he holds his government accountable for its response at the highest levels. “Prime Minister Najib [Razak] only opens his mouth on the seventh day,” he says, “when he sees an opportunity to blame opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim merely by the fact that the pilot, Zaharie [Ahmad Shah], is [an] Anwar supporter.”

        washingtonpost.com

As A Result, Zunar Has Come Under Fire For Being Insensitive And Misleading

Cartoonist Zunar came under fire for his comic strip which appeared in the Washington Post, which mocked the Prime Minister and the multi-national effort in search of the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 flight.

        thestar.com.my

Professor Datuk Dr. Mohamed, Head Of Politics, Security, And International Affairs Cluster, Says It Is Impossible To Hide Facts When Multi-National Forces Are Involved

MAS CEO, Department of Civil Aviation Director General, Hishammuddin Hussien, and Inspector General of Police at a MH370 press conference
Image via csmonitor.com

Head of politics, security, and international affairs cluster, Prof Datuk Dr. Mohamed Mustafa Ishak described Zunar’s comic as insensitive and misleading. He said Zunar’s claim that Malaysia was hiding facts was preposterous. "It is impossible to hide facts when multi-national forces are roped in to help in the search and rescue mission," he said, adding it reflected great transparency.

        thestar.com.my

"Science and technology is used in the search and rescue mission, and information is released based on hard facts and evidence, and not based on mere speculation and wild allegation," he said. He said even developed countries were involved in the search using state-of-the-art tools to help locate the Boeing 777-200 ferrying 239 passengers and crew that went missing on March 18.

        thejakartapost.com

Prof Mustafa said the matter should not be politicised because it involved the life and well-being of human beings.

Mohd Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz, Kelab Warisan Malaysia President, Corrected Zunar's Claim Of The PM Only Making A Statement On The Seventh Day

Najib made two statements for MH370, one on the first day and another on the seventh
Image via thesundaily.my

Kelab Warisan Malaysia president Mohd Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz also hit out at Zunar for ridiculing Najib. "Our Prime Minister has proven his diplomatic capability as he has succeeded in getting so many countries to help in the search using their own budget. "That shows that Najib is not a weak leader," he said.

        thestar.com.my

Mohd Khairul, who is also a lawyer, said Zunar’s claim that Najib only made statement on Day 7 of the search was not true, as he had already call a press conference on Day 1 to announce that the aeroplane had gone missing.

        thejakartapost.com

He Continues To Lambast The Washington Post For Allowing People To Make Baseless Statements On Its Paper

He also lambasted the Washington Post for giving space for people to make baseless statements.
"When four commercial flights were hijacked simultaneously in the United States prior to the twin tower attacks in 2001, the media in other parts of the world did not ridicule the United States government.

        thejakartapost.com

"How low can the Washington Post stoop when the family members of the missing crew and passengers are waiting in agony, hoping for the return of loved ones?" he asked.

        thejakartapost.com

In Response To Criticisms, Zunar Questioned The Two Men's Judgment

Zunar
Image via imgur.com

Zunar said in a statement today said he understands the criticism made by Mustafa in defending Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak. "However, Mustafa did not read enough before commenting. "I made a conclusion and transformed my opinion through my cartoon, based on news reports and analyses not only by the local media but by dozens of international media outlets as well.

        malaysiakini.com

Zunar said if the academician had read the article with the cartoon and followed CNN, Al Jazeera, Washington Post, Jakarta Post and South China Morning Post, he would certainly know that China, the United States and Vietnam are very upset with Malaysia's lack of information.

        malaysiakini.com

“Even Indonesia expressed its disappointment yesterday. Just a few hours ago, BBC reported that the relatives of the Chinese passengers on the missing flight have threatened a hunger strike if the Malaysian authorities fail to provide more accurate information. “I am not suggesting that you have to believe all foreign media reports, but your judgment will be very shallow if you just read local mainstream newspapers!”

        malaysiakini.com

Zunar reaffirmed his opinion that Najib was “too weak” as a national leader compared with former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who would, in such a situation, address the nation and give directions almost every day. “Najib not only left the job to an 'incompetent' (acting Transport Minister) Hishammuddin Hussein, he also took seven days to open his mouth at a press conference. Yet, he did not have the courage to face foreign journalists, by refusing to take questions.”

        malaysiakini.com

Besides The "Two Week, Too Weak" Cartoon, Zunar's Website Also Has Several Other Cartoons Mocking Malaysia's Management Of The MH370 Search And Rescue Operations

Zunar Was Charged For Sedition In 2010 For His Book "Cartoon-O-Phonia" That Contains Sensitive Issues Such As Altantuya, Rosmah, And Such

Zunar Was Charged For Sedition In 2010 For His Book "Cartoon-O-Phonia"

On September 24, 2010 Zunar was arrested by the police and charged for sedition, 3 hours prior to the launching of his just-published book “Cartoon-O-Phobia”. During the arrest the police seized 66 copies of the book. The clamp-down may have been due to reasons that the book contains ‘sensitive’ issues such as the Altantuya murder, the conspiracy against Anwar, the prime minister’s wife Rosmah, the loss of fighter jet engines, the Scorpene submarine that cannot dive, issues in Sarawak, racism, corruption, waste of public funds, among others.

On June 24, 2010 “1 Funny Malaysia”, a book of his published works from the Malaysiakini website (published by Malaysiakini), and “Gedung Kartun”, “Perak Dalam Kartun” and “Isu Dalam Kartun” which were a series of magazines about political and recent issues in Malaysia and Perak (published by his company Sepakat Efektif Sdn.

Watch How This Motorcyclist Saved An 8-Year-Old From A Seizure In A Traffic Jam

A motorcyclist has been praised online for his heroic act in saving a young girl who went into an epileptic seizure during a traffic jam on Thursday, 23 May

Itthiphon Petchphibunpong was riding his motorbike in Phitsanulok, Thailand when he came across a car with its windows rolled down and a man yelling for help from the inside.

Image via Itthiphon Petchphibunpong/Facebook

51-year-old father Sorachat Sadudee was reportedly driving home after picking up his daughters from school, when his eight-year-old suddenly felt tired and sick

Daily Mail revealed that the girl began to foam at the mouth and had a "potentially deadly tonic seizure" before she passed out in the car. Unable to rush her straight to the hospital because of the heavy traffic, the dad was forced to roll down the windows and beg for help from motorists.

At that moment, 28-year-old Itthiphon coincidentally rode past, asked what was happening, and immediately offered to bring the girl to the hospital

Footage then showed the father carrying his daughter out of the car and getting onto the motorcycle, as they honked and sped through rush hour traffic to the nearest hospital.

Fortunately, the girl was saved in the nick of time

It took them four minutes to get to the hospital – a much faster time, compared to if they had waited in traffic."I couldn't thank him enough for his kindness. He saved my daughter's life. As soon as she is fully recovered, I'll take her to meet him and thank him again in person," the father later shared, according to Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, the biker said: "At first, I was also surprised to see her having a seizure. I didn't know how to treat her but I knew that I could take her to the hospital with my motorcycle."As I am also a father, I know what it feels like to see our children collapsed and in pain in front of us. So, I didn't even hesitate to help her," he added.

The video, which was posted on Itthiphon's Facebook, has since received over 52,700 shares.

According to The Sun Daily, the 40-year-old and 43-year-old were in a car on their way to buy lights for the gym.It is reported that a group of gunmen in a four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle drove up to the driver's side and started opening fire with a semi-automatic pistol.

The gym owner, who was supposed to celebrate his birthday later that day, was shot in the cheek while his assistant was shot in the stomach at a close range

After recovering several bullet casings at the scene, it is believed that the gunmen fired at least seven shots at the two victims.

The car was found in a drain which led passersby to assume that it was an accident

Image via The Sun Daily

The victim's car skidded to the roadside after the shooting occurred."We initially received calls from the public, saying that there was an accident, but when we arrived at the scene, we realised that it was a shooting," said Shah Alam OCPD Asst Comm Baharudin Mat Taib.

Both men were sent to Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah, Klang for treatment

Image via Swasa News

Despite being shot multiple times, the men survived and it is reported that they are in a stable condition.

The case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder

The police urges any eyewitnesses to come forward to help with the investigation.

Meanwhile, a concerning number of gun-related incidents had occurred in the last few months:

                A 35-Year-Old Man Was Shot Three Times As He Exited A Convenience Store In PJ

New Health Minister Chastised For Giving Free Pads To Ministry First Instead Of B40 Women

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

Newly-minted Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa has recently come under scrutiny for her decision to begin the free sanitary pad initiative at the Ministry of Health's (MOH) office

In a live press conference yesterday, 12 December, Zaliha announced that the MOH would be providing free sanitary pads in all office bathrooms in the MOH building, in conjunction with the ministry's support for women's health and rights. She said that although this is a small step in resolving the issue of period poverty in Malaysia, Zaliha believes that it will make a significant difference.However, one individual has made it clear that he does not support the Health Minister's decision.

Image via Malaysiakini

Based on a Facebook post, Bersatu information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan has accused Zaliha of not understanding her target group when initiating the free sanitary pad programme

He said that she should have prioritised and extended the programme to underprivileged women first, before extending it to anyone else."Efforts to tackle period poverty are good and worthy of support. It should be made a national programme. But what is the relevance of providing free women's sanitary towels in the minister's office toilets? The ones who need it are the underprivileged women, not the ones sitting in the minister's office," Wan Saiful wrote.The Tasek Gelugor member of parliament (MP) also took a jab at Zaliha's income class, commenting that Zaliha being wealthy was the reason she failed to pinpoint the programme's priorities.

Period poverty has been an ever-growing issue in Malaysia, with more than 130,000 women unable to afford feminine hygiene products

To combat the issue, Selangor became the first state to implement a free sanitary pad programme, with a RM200,000 billion budget backing the initiative in 2023. The budget will fund an awareness campaign and the provision of free sanitary pads.Selangor will be following in the footsteps of other countries. South Korea has offered free menstrual towels in public areas since 2018, and Scotland became the first country in the world to make all period products free for its citizens.

Here's Why Porn Isn't The Best Place You Should Turn To For Sex Education

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

Do you remember the first time you were curious about sex?

Image via @womanizer (Unsplash)

The truth is, Malaysians may not have the best knowledge when it comes to sexual education, since sex is widely seen as a taboo topic. But that shouldn't be the case because sex is a completely healthy and natural part of life.If you have open, honest communication with your parents, you may have had the talk with them because you felt safe enough to ask questions about sex.If not, your first exposure to sex was probably through porn, or perhaps friends who likely learned everything they knew about sex from it.

It's safe to say, porn isn't the best place anyone should turn to if they're looking to learn about sex, health, and their bodies. Here's why:

1. It has the tendency to downplay the importance of safe sex

Image via @dainisgraveris (Unsplash)

Safe sex is good sex. However, safe practices, like putting on and using a condom, is rarely shown in porn. According to the World Health Organization, the number of STI cases is rising globally. One effective way of preventing STIs is, of course, through condoms. Condoms are also great for preventing unwanted pregnancies 98% of the time when used correctly. So, when your only resource for anything sex ed-related is from porn, the message that condoms are safe and necessary may not hit home hard enough to warrant their usage in real life.

2. It often depicts unrealistic expectations of sex

Image via @yrss (Unsplash)

While porn can be used as fun inspiration for couples, as well as trying out new positions in bed, it's important to remember that porn is fantasy.The overconsumption of porn can give the wrong perception of sex, which may lead to sexual dissatisfaction. When this happens, the confusion may lead a person to place the blame on their partner instead. In serious cases, it may even lower a person's sex drive or cause them to seek out riskier sexual behaviours.

3. It tends to showcase body types or features that lack diversity

Image via @womanizer (Unsplash)

While there is tasteful porn made by progressive women directors, porn is, unfortunately, still typically geared towards the male fantasy.Bodies come in all shapes and sizes, including parts like the labia. However, porn doesn't always portray what bodies look like in reality, giving rise to body insecurities, particularly for young girls and women.

4. It has fictional storylines and sex that is performative

Image via Psychology Today

It's important to note that porn is entertainment (and again, often geared towards the male fantasy). The people you watch are entertainers and perform acts that are designed to look good in front of the camera.The same goes with noises and sounds you hear, which are often exaggerated in porn. While sex can get loud in real life, you should be able to enjoy sex however you desire, and without the pressure of acting a certain way.

5. It gives teenagers and young adults a skewed view of sex

Image via @gettysignature (Canva)

Due to the taboo nature of sex in society, many people's first introduction to sex is through porn. This means teenagers and young adults may expect certain acts to be more common than they actually are, or body parts to look a certain way, considering how porn categorises topics and themes.With a porn-only education, once they get into their first real relationship or have sex for the first time, they may find themselves having to readjust to reality compared to what they have seen online.

6. It just isn't real!

Image via @lucasdixsept (Unsplash)

The thing is, porn is accessible, and it's not going away, nor are people going to stop watching it. However, your go-to place for sexual education shouldn't be from porn, because it's quite simply not real.It won't do you, your partner, or your sex life justice by learning from a fantasy representation, as it doesn't truly prepare you for what to expect when you get into bed with someone, from a safety aspect to expectations while doing the deed. On top of that, while sex can be purely physical, there are emotional aspects to consider too.

At the end of the day, while porn can serve as entertainment, it does not represent real sex lives, nor is it a reliable form of sexual education.
This is where Durex wants to help by empowering you to make the right decisions for yourself through its Come Together campaign.

"He then tied the victim's hands and legs, taped her mouth and raped her. Robbing the woman of her cash and valuables totalling RM4,000, the man then fled the scene," state CID chief ACP K. Manoharan told a media conference here today.

He said the suspect also took the victim's mobile phone, money and jewellery, as well as cash from the register.

She was alone in the shop and was too afraid to make a scene

The victim kept quiet because she feared being injured as there was no one in the shop at that time.

Here's How To Use A COVID-19 Self-Test Kit

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

As COVID-19 becomes endemic, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has encouraged Malaysians to frequently use COVID-19 self-test kits to monitor themselves

COVID-19 self-test kits are also known as Antigen Rapid Test Kits (RTK-Ag) that only require a nasal swab or saliva sample, and can be done within 15 to 20 minutes at home.In their guidelines, the MOH reminds individuals that the COVID-19 self-test kits are screening tools, used for the advantage of quick and easy detection.They do not replace the gold-standard, diagnostic RT-PCR tests that confirm your COVID-19 status.

Image via Ruhr-Universität Bochum

As there may be a variety in the market, the ministry is reminding consumers to ensure that the kits they buy are approved by the Medical Device Authority (MDA)

The COVID-19 self-test kits can be used by:- Individuals who want to screen themselves for their COVID-19 status,- Individuals who have had contact with COVID-19 cases, or- Other screening opportunities, including at international entry points, interstate and pre-employment screening, as well as pre-admission to higher institutions.The kits can now be bought online or from authorised healthcare providers, pharmacies, supermarkets, convenience stores, and petrol stations.The recommended retail price for these tests is RM19.90, but can often be found for much cheaper.You can find the full MDA list of approved COVID-19 self-test kits here.

How to use the COVID-19 self-test kits

Although all the tests are similar, always read the individual product's instructions before use.Generally, this is how the procedure goes:- Try not to eat or drink for at least 30 minutes before doing the test.- Sanitise or wash your hands before opening the kit.- Take the saliva (deeply cough and spit into the test tube) or swab sample (swab the inside of your cheek or nostril and stir it in the test tube) as stated in the kit.- Add reagent into the test tube to be mixed.- Add two drops of that sample into the well of the cassette, then wait 15 minutes.- Read the test results. There will be a control line (C) and a test line (T).

Image via AFP/The Straits Times

After performing the test, make sure all the tools are thrown into the biohazard bag given in the kit and tie it up properly before disposal.Also, disinfect the area you carried out the test at and wash your hands with soap and water.

In fact, here's a video tutorial to walk you through:

What to do after you've received your results

If you tested positive:- You must report your positive result on MySejahtera (as mandated in the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 [Act 342]).- You are to present yourself to either a private health facility, COVID-19 assessment centre (CAC), or nearby public health clinic for assessment and further action (most likely a confirmatory PCR test). Be sure to wear a face mask when leaving the house and avoid public transport.If you tested negative:- You may report your negative result on MySejahtera.- However, if you have symptoms, please head to a private health facility or public health clinic for an assessment.- If you are a close contact of a COVID-19 case, you must still continue your compulsory quarantine period of 10 days.Head to the 'COVID-19 Self Test' section on MySejahtera to submit your test results.

Viral Photos Show Port Dickson Beach Littered With Trash A Few Days Into RMCO

Not only has the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) controlled the spread of COVID-19, it has also caused many parts of Malaysia to go through positive environmental changes

Sungai Melaka, Sungai Penang, and Sungai Klang are some of Malaysia's rivers that have recovered from pollutants and trash thrown into them after factories were told to shut down and the public was encouraged to stay at home.Last month, prior to the introduction of Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO), it was reported that there had been a spike in the number of sea turtles returning to beaches in Port Dickson as well.

Image via Pejabat Perikanan Negeri Sembilan/Facabook

However, it looks like the chain of good news is slowly coming into an end following the ease of restrictions.
Merely a few days after RMCO, photos emerged on social media showing Port Dickson's pearl-grey beach littered with trash.

Image via Negeri Sembilan kini/Facebook

In a post published on Friday. 12 June, 'Negeri Sembilan kini' on Facebook said Malaysian visitors are the root of pollution at tourist spots."During the MCO, Enhanced MCO, and Conditional MCO, this beach was clean, beautiful, and fresh. But once we enter the recovery phase, where the public is allowed to go to the beach, this is the result," read the post, with attached photos showing plastic food waste scattered all over the shoreline."Don't you dream of turtles coming here to lay eggs and spotting dolphins in the water again!"The post claimed that the photos were taken three days after RMCO, which began on 10 June.

The local authorities have confirmed the matter

According to New Straits Times, Port Dickson Municipal Council president Mohd Zamri Mohd Esa said they have been receiving complaints about rubbish strewn along some beaches due to increased crowds."We will find a way to prevent people from littering the beaches besides stepping up enforcement and imposing fines. We will consider setting up closed-circuit television cameras," Zamri said.

Polling On A Wednesday: Malaysians Respond In The Most Positive Way Through #CarpoolGE14

By now you probably already know that Malaysia's 14th General Election (GE14) will be on 9 May, which falls on a Wednesday

Image via Azinuddin Ghazali/Malay Mail Online

Following the announcement by the Election Commission yesterday, 10 April, there has been criticism on why a working day was picked as polling day. Electoral watchdog Bersih 2.0 said in a statement that the mid-week voting could possibly result in low voter turnout and further hardship for all voters.In wake of the public outcry, Barisan Nasional (BN) strategist Eric See-To defended the EC's decision to set polling on Wednesday, saying that it is fair to all."While I do not speak for the EC, I can understand that there is merit in selecting Wednesday as they may deem this to be fair to all states and not allow results and turn-out rates to be consistent throughout Malaysia and not be skewed in certain states," he said in a statement yesterday, as reported by The Star.

While it may be a challenge if no public holiday is declared for 9 May, Malaysians are undeterred and have united to send a message to all voters: "Go home to vote"

Twitter users @nizambakeri and @AnnieVeeee have quickly initiated the #CarpoolGE14 campaign to get Malaysians to return to their hometown to cast their ballots during GE14, regardless of who they are voting for.The account @CarpoolGE14 was created in an effort to help voters make their travel plans for the polling day, facilitating them in their process to find their "GE road trip buddies" while they 'balik kampung' to vote.Drivers who intend to travel back and have empty seats in their car have been urged to join this initiative, so that other Malaysians who are in need of transportation to go home could benefit from them.

Malaysians have quickly heeded the #CarpoolGE14 call, offering rides (some even for free!) to commuters who need them

Aside from #CarpoolGE14, there is also similar initiative known as #JomBalikUndi.
This initiative is targeted at Malaysian voters in Johor or Singapore who need to travel back to vote.

The #JomBalikUndi campaign first started in the last general election by Global BERSIH to mobilise Malaysians to exercise their right to vote. This time around for GE14, the group behind #JomBalikUndi is organising the same initiative and it has created an online platform to pair up drivers with empty seats with passengers that need them.Global BERSIH has reportedly estimated that there are about half a million of Malaysians living in Singapore at this time.

Well done, fellow Malaysians for stepping up so quickly to ensure that everyone has a chance to exercise their democratic right to vote!

Several airlines have waived their flight change fees for Malaysians in view of GE14 to allow them to fulfil their responsibility as voters:

Looks like teahouses à la Chatime and Gong Cha are making a comeback! With several new brands popping up in shopping malls lately, one in particular caught our eye when we recently came across its newly-opened kiosk in Sunway Pyramid.

With its bright yellow counters and signage, it's pretty difficult to miss SunnyCha - a new addition to the bustling shopping mall in PJ. We were especially drawn to the shiny jars of tea leaves and towers of tea behind the counters! Hailing from Taiwan, SunnyCha made its debut in Malaysia in April last year at Lot 10 Shopping Centre in Kuala Lumpur, followed by two more outlets in Sunway Pyramid and 1 Utama by the end of 2017.

In the short time since it first stepped foot in Malaysia, the Taiwanese teahouse has already set itself apart from other tea shops with its Sunny Sky series, a lineup of vibrantly colourful layered teas. So pretty!

The coloured layers are apparently made of the teahouse's signature Butterfly Pea Flower Tea as well as natural colours from floral petals and real fruit juice. The range comes in four different flavours:

(i) Elara, signature Sunny Sky with citrus honey;(ii) Supernova, signature Sunny Sky with Probiotics and citrus;(iii) Milky Way, signature Sunny Sky with honey milk; and (iv) Nightsky, signature Sunny Sky with honey

To add finesse to your photos, the SunnyCharistas will even shine a spotlight from the bottom of the bottle to bring out the colours. Pretty extra, but it does make your Instagram feed look a bit more magical!

Apart from the Sunny Sky series, SunnyCha also offers an extensive menu ranging from classic teas to latte variants and fruity infusions such as Oolong Chá Latte, Matcha Soy Latte, and Signature Tie Guan Yin Chá Latte with Pumpkin

SunnyCha prides itself on using all-natural ingredients and flavours with no artificial additives such as colouring, flavouring, and preservatives in their tea; not even syrup or white sugar, as it ruins the natural flavour of tea. Instead, the teahouse only adds brown sugar or fruit juice when necessary to optimise sweetness. All drinks are available in Small, Regular, Large, or in a Bottle (except for Sunny Sky series, which is available only in bottle form). At the time of writing, the drinks are priced from RM6.80 to RM17.80.

SunnyCha is located at:

In an incident scary enough to send chills down your spine, a man riding his motorcycle was greeted by a snake who suddenly appeared out of the handlebar

Image via Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS

According to his friend, Azim Sharim on Instagram, the victim, Tengku Ahmad Zasharin was riding his motorbike when he felt something was crawling up his right hand. Initially, Tengku thought it was just leaves on top of his hand.

He got the shock of his life when he realised it was actually a python coiling up his right hand

Image via Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS

Apparently, the python was in the meter box before it slithered through the motorcycle handlebar.Focused on getting rid of the snake, Tengku lost control of his motorbike and crashed into a road divider.The victim is currently being treated at Hospital UIA Kuantan as he suffered shoulder injuries and a fractured pelvis.

The Instagram post was later shared on Facebook by Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS, where others shared their scary encounters that they had with snakes

According to the owner of the picture above, he said he faced the exact same situation as Tengku but fortunately, he managed to stop his bike at the road curb in time.

Snakes are known to migrate to seek shelter which is suitable for its body temperature as they are cold-blooded animals

"They (snakes) tend to come out from their natural habitat to find warmer places and this is when many of them are seen slithering into houses," said Civil Defence's disaster management, operations and logistics officer, Lieutenant Norasmawi Abdul Mutalib in 2015.

Remember to check your vehicles before you start your engines because you don't want unwanted reptiles crawling up on you

Speaking of snakes, watch how one brave firefighter catches a King Cobra with mad skills:

What Brought You Joy This Year? We Ask 10 Malaysians To Share Their Stories

2020 has been a whirlwind of a year. But it definitely made us appreciate the joy in our lives just that little bit more!

Together with BMW Malaysia, we asked Malaysians to reflect back on the year and tell us what brought them the most joy. Was it family? Was it career? Or was it something completely unexpected?Come read their stories!

1. "I got engaged!!"

Image via @thefoodtrooper (Instagram)

"At the start of the year, I wasn't even thinking about marriage. But, 2020 made me realise how much I want to spend the rest of my life with this beautiful girl who makes me smile, laugh, and feel happy every day! So I got her a diamond ring... and we're getting married woohooo." - Jeremy, 26

2. "I managed to open a stall in a kopitiam during this pandemic."

Image via @studio._kitchen (Instagram)

"My family and I were managing a kitchen in a local cafe, but unfortunately, we had to shut down during MCO. We lost our business and income, so shutting down was inevitable. We spent months trying to navigate through the tough season, but, one day I just walked up to a kopitiam near my home in Jinjang Utara, and enquired if I could rent a stall there."The owner was generous, allowing me to start the business without needing any payment upfront. Studio Kitchen started its first kiosk and is currently helping us tide through this difficult time." - Peter, 32

3. "I survived an accident and lived to still celebrate with my family"

Image via Hilman Shukor

"This year, I am really joyful and grateful because I survived a pretty nasty accident. While I was on my way to my chiropractor's appointment, the other party didn't notice their red light and just rammed into my passenger's side. I was the only one in the car so the impact wasn't immediate."I was super impressed that immediately after my airbags deployed, my BMW X3's entertainment system dialed BMW's Helpline, and Customer Support was very helpful given the situation."The accident made me REALLY grateful for my life and my family. I appreciate all the little things that much more now." - Hilman, 27

4. "2020 really helped me reignite my passion for teaching."

Image via Gabriella Francis

"I love children. They are such a joy. Working in a kindergarten this year and being around kids made me realise what I'm really passionate about - teaching children and educating them. I feel so blessed that I am able to see these kids every day, and they just put a smile on my face."- Gabriella, 24

5. "I landed a job that I really, truly love!"

Image via Timothy Tuan | XPS (Unsplash)

"So, earlier this year, I had to finish my degree at home and didn't get to graduate at all huhu. I took a short break before I began applying for jobs. And man, did I apply for A LOT OF JOBS. I attended quite a few interviews but because my degree wasn't exactly relevant to what they're looking for, I got rejected here and there. But, I managed to score an internship with an awesome company!"Thankfully, the company I was interning at was looking for a full-timer so I got employed! I'm really happy I persevered during this challenging time, and just glad that l I finally have a job. I really enjoy working, and I feel blessed that I get along with my co-workers."- Timothy, 21

6. "I supported a cause that is dear to my heart."

Image via Alesha Shukor

"I really enjoy painting as a hobby. Earlier this year, I decided to paint and sell tote bags, with some of the proceeds going to OrphanCare. It's an organisation that gives children who are in institutions and unplanned newborn babies whose lives are at risk the opportunity to grow up in the care of a loving family. "It's a cause that I feel strongly for, and since my family members work closely with them, I thought, "Why not?". I am very happy that I got to raise some funds and help out in my own way."- Alesha, 15

7. "I graduated from med school! Next step, hello adulting!"

Image via Amirah Faizah

"I studied at the University Sains Malaysia - Karnataka Lingkayat Education Society in India, and it was definitely super challenging last semester because we had to conduct classes online. We absolutely had NO access to the hospital or the patient. It was tough as we were unable to look and talk to patients. Observing simulated cases just made everything harder to understand the subject ): "However, with the hard work of students and lecturers, 100% of the students at the university passed their professional exams with flying colours! Woohoo!" - Amirah Faizah, 24

8. "I wanted to ease my parents' burden, and introduce authentic Peranakan food to KL locals, so I started my own home business."

Image via Sarah Tay

'Well, being stuck alone in KL is no fun during the MCO. I felt even sadder especially after getting the news that the CLP exam is postponed till March 2021 T_T To ease my family's burden, I thought, if I sell food, at least that money can be my allowance and pocket money. I decided to sell Peranakan-style Mee Siam (got kuah wan, my great grandma's legendary recipe) and nasi lemak."After posting in a local Facebook group, Joanne Kam Poh Poh (the local celebrity comedian) ordered, gave a super awesome review, and suddenly the numbers escalated real high! "Orders poured in even though I wasn't posting anything. Along the way, I met nice people, people who shared and reviewed about my food to their friends and family, people who even cooked some food for me. One customer even brought me to buy my ingredients as she knows that I don't have any transport here <3" - Sarah, 24

9. "This year provided me with a great learning curve."

Image via Noraishah | Zany Jadraque (Unsplash)

"This year, I am grateful that learning opportunities are plenty. I started translating short paragraphs about birds as a way to learn a foreign language, and it ended up triggering an interest to learn about birds!"It involved observing birds around my housing area and reading up about the species. Through this, I discovered a passion for drawing the birds - a pastime that brings me peace of mind and happiness that no money could ever buy! Plus, I also gained a deeper awareness of the need to conserve the environment so the birds can thrive (: Next, I would love to use my hobby for a greater cause!" - Noraishah, 56

10. "I'm thankful that I got to make a change in the world."

Image via Norma

"I work with refugees, stateless people, and the disabled; all groups who have been hit hard by the economic effects of COVID-19. Seeing their struggles is eye-opening, and I'm happy that I got to impact their lives in one way or another."I am also thankful every day that I do not worry about a place to live, food on the table, and affordable education for my kids." - Norma, 57

[VIDEO] MBPP Officers Slammed By Locals For Clamping A Car Parked In OKU Spot

A video showing people venting their anger towards two Penang Island City Council (MBPP) officers went viral on social media recently

Image via Penang Kini

The five-minute, 12-second video was first posted on Facebook page Penang Kini yesterday, 20 November. At the time of writing, it has received over 200 comments and 300 shares.

In the beginning of the clip, an elderly woman could be seen being pushed in a wheelchair by a younger woman, believed to her daughter

Image via Penang Kini

She then goes on a rant, complaining that MBPP officers had clamped her car which was parked at a spot for the disabled at Jalan Macalister. The incident happened at around 2.30pm yesterday, 20 November.It is believed that her silver Toyota Vios did not display any OKU sticker as the woman admitted that she is in the process of applying for one. A summons was left on the windscreen of the vehicle.

Moments later, two MBPP officers on motorcycles arrived and that's when things got heated up

Image via Penang Kini

Locals from the vicinity began to gather and express their anger against the officers, demanding them to unclamp the vehicle.

However, the officers stood their ground. They would only unlock the clamp until the RM50 fine was paid.

A security guard also appeared on the scene to lambast the officers. He even asked the woman to lodge a police report to "teach them a lesson".

Image via Penang Kini

"How long are you going to let her stay under the hot sun? Who's going to be responsible if anything happens to her?", the agitated man chided the officers. The officers remained calm and did not retaliate as they waited for the woman to pay the fine.

The fine was eventually paid by another woman who was present at the scene

The woman (in white) paid the RM50 fine.
Image via Penang Kini

The officers left promptly after unclamping the vehicle.

Majority of netizens have sided with the officers. They said the OKU sticker is only applicable for drivers and not passengers, so it wasn't wrong for them to clamp the woman's vehicle.

Image via Penang Kini

Watch the full video below:

Sedikit kekecohan di Jalan Macalister siang tadi. Kereta itu didakwa melakukan kesalahn kerana paking di petak OKU. Orang tua tu baru diserang strok beberapa hari dan dalam proses permohonan kad OKU.

Tiada langsung timbang rasa dan tolak ansur. Saman tetap dikenakan juga oleh penguatkuasa MBPP terhadap mereka. Bertabahlah..Posted by Penang Kini on Monday, November 20, 2017

What do you think? Were the officers in the wrong for clamping the vehicle? Or should the woman take responsibility because she didn't have an OKU sticker? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
