Manakan tidak, telatah dan gelagat haiwan ini sering kali membuat kita terhibur, lebih-lebih dikala sedang stress ataupun sedih. Salah satu haiwan yang kerap dipelihara adalah kucing. Kucing adalah haiwan yang sangat comel dan disukai ramai kerana sifatnya yang jinak dan suka dibelai serta manja dengan manusia.

Walau bagaimanapun, seperti manusia, kucing juga ada tempoh hayatnya. Dan seperti manusia juga, apabila pencinta kucing kematian kucing yang disayanginya, pasti akan terasa kehilangan itu.Bahkan, sudah menjadi adat buat kaum Melayu dan umat Islam, apabila kita kematian haiwan peliharaan, kita akan menanam mayatnya seperti mana yang kita lakukan pada manusia.

Seorang gadis telah membuat perkongsian di laman Twitter tentang bagaimana ayahnya sangat menyayangi kucing-kucing yang benar-benar menyayat hati

Perkongsian yang dibuat pengguna Twitter @qin_nasir  atau Asyiqin [email protected] itu turut menceritakan bagaimana ayahnya yang sebelum ini tidak menggemari haiwan tersebut akhirnya berubah menjadi sangat sayang serta sangat memanjakan kucing-kucingnya.Bahkan, ayahnya turut mengingati tarikh kelahiran, tarikh kematian dan punca kematian kucing-kucingnya dengan sangat terperinci.

Bukan itu sahaja, ayah Asyiqin tidak pernah lupa untuk melawat kubur kucing-kucingnya itu setiap kali menjelang hari raya. Selesai sahaja melawat kubur sanak-saudara, ayahnya akan menjenguk kubur kucing-kucingnya itu disertakan sekali dengan taburan bunga.Kucing-kucing tersebut ditanam di belakang kebun nenek, di tepi rumahnya.

Kebanyakan kucing-kucingnya itu mati disebabkan oleh jangkitan virus. Walaupun sudah divaksin, namun sudah terlambat kerana virus itu telah pun merebak.

Pada ketika ini, terdapat beberapa lagi ekor kucing yang masih dibela keluarga tersebut. Meskipun begitu, menurut adik Asyiqin, ini mungkin kumpulan kucing yang terakhir yang akan mereka bela.

Semoga hidup ini mampu untuk mengingatkan kita semua tentang betapa pentingnya mempersiapkan diri bagi menghadapi kematian yang bakal tiba.

Baru-baru ini seorang pengguna Twitter @pearkuku telah berkongsi pengalaman dan iktibar yang diambil daripada kematian ibunya sekitar 9 tahun lalu.
Memang sedih, tapi hakikatnya, mati itu pasti.

Perkongsian tersebut juga telah meraih sebanyak 18 ribu retweets dan 15 ribu likes ketika artikel ini ditulis.Baca penuh di bawah:

Malam ni aku nak share story pasal aku dengan arwah mak aku. Apa apa pun kau ambil la ikhtibar dari cerita aku 9 tahun lepas. Cerita ni bermula pada hari mak aku meninggal. Pagi tu telefon aku bunyi banyak kali, aku angkat, sekali mak aku call, aku mamai masa tu— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

"Dah solat Subuh ke?" - Itu merupakan pertanyaan terakhir oleh ibunya selepas berkelakuan aneh. Semuanya yang diborakkan dirasakan kelakar.

"Assalammualaikum, subuh dah ke?" Aku akan ingat ayat tu sampai bila bila. Tu la suara dia paling last aku dengar. Ok balik pada cerita, aku pun cakaplah dah (biasalah masa tu student kan) lepas tu mak aku borak agak lama dengan aku, satu benda yang tak pernah jadi.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Pagi tu dia punya gelak lain. Semua benda mak aku rasa kelakar. Lepas tu dia tanya soalan yang dia tak akan tanya aku "eri cukup tak duit makan, tahu ayah bagi duit sebab belajar tu, kalau tak cukup mek tambah" aku pause diri aku kejap. Aku pelik. Aku jawab je "cukup semua mek"— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Lepas tu borak tanya kabor semua macam biasa. Masa ni final aku diploma, aku ada buat project untuk psychology punya subject. Tu dia risau kot. Lepas tu aku siap siap, aku bagitahu kawan aku "dinie, mak aku peliklah hari ni?" Dinie jawab "perasaan kau je tu" tapi aku rasa lain— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

"Lutut mak okay ke?" - Jawapan yang diberikan oleh ibunya buat dia tersentap buat seketika.
Selepas itu, ini rupanya yang terjadi...

Mak aku sebelum tu dia jatuh motor masa naik dengan ayah aku, lutut dia koyak kena jahit. Tu last aku jumpa mak aku, lepas tu aku balik uni. Aku tanya dia "mek okay ke? Dengan lutut koyak" dia balas simple je "ni penghapus dosa eri"— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Habis kelas, aku ready nak brief pasal project tu, tiba aku dapat call dari kakak aku dekat klang "eri, kemas barang, mek tak sihat, nanti kak lah ambil" aku blur. Padahal baru pagi tadi bercakap dengan dia. Perasaan masa tu dia macam kau lost, lepas tu tak tahu nak cakap— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Aku call rumah takda orang angkat, aku tak fikir apa, mungkin lutut dia kot sakit. Aku tenangkan diri aku call abang aku, 3-4 kali call. Last kawan dia angkat "heri, miji tak dapat cakap, aku tak tahu kenapa abang kau mengamuk ni" aku jadi lagi blur— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Berita paling sakit dan pilu telah diterima melalui satu panggilan telefon. Menurutnya, ia merupakan satu perasaan yang tidak dapat digambarkan.

Aku call kakak aku tak dapat, aku call rumah aku, yang jawab jiran aku "heri, pak nyan harap hang sabaq naaa" dia duk ulang je ayat tu, aku panas aku maki, lepas tu bapak aku ambil telefon "eri, mek dah takda, balik" fuh masa tu perasaan dia terus meletup aku.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Lemah lutut, kaki, muka aku pucat. Aku kemas barang, dah siap. Masa tu ex aku otw nak hantar baju dekat aku. Aku tangan ketar tak boleh buka pintu, aku terajang grill dia, setel. Haha. Lepas tu ex aku sampai, dia blur sebab aku dah meraung macam orang gila.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Dinie cerita smeua dekat dia. Dia datang dekat aku, dia cakap "now baru i tahu kenapa i bawa yassin ni tadi" aku diam. Dalam hati "apa benda ni tuhan? Apa benda kau buat dekat mak aku?" Terus ex aku, dinie dengan gf dia hantar aku balik pahang. Dalam 2 jam otw balik pahang— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Dalam perjalanan pulang ke kampung, dia menghabiskan 4 kotak rokok sambil merenung foto arwah ibunya. Ketika itulah semua kenangan bersama arwah bermain di kotak fikiran.

Aku habiskan 4 kotak rokok. Aku tengok je gambar mak aku dalam phone aku, hati aku dah rebel gila dengan tuhan "aku baru baik dengan mak aku, baru 4 tahun, kenapa tuhan?" Kalau korang nak tahu, aku rapat dengan ayah aku. Dengan mak aku dulu, aku salam gitu je, mak aku garang.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Pernah aku baca alfatihah masa dia mengajar aku ngaji sekali nafas, lepas tu dia kata "dah habis ke?" Aku angguk, terus kena rotan wey. Hahaha aduh rindunya nak kena rotan. Lepas aku umur 21 sebelum smbung study baru aku rapat dengan dia, salam cium tangan, peluk semua lengkap!— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Ni antara kenangan yang main dalam kepala aku dalam kereta. Sedar je aku dah sampai. "Okay reality check" hati aku cakap. Aku masuk rumah, dekat beranda ada jiran aku dah. "Okay ni real" aku masuk meluru, dekat ruang tamu belakang ada tirai, aku selak tirai tu aku nampak mak aku.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Sampai di rumah, bila lihat arwah dan setiap ahli keluarga berada berdekatan dengan mayat, terus rasa tak keruan dan masih tidak faham dengan apa yang berlaku

3 orang kakak aku, tengah baca yassin. Sedu sedu nak habiskan yassin. Aku tengok abang aku, mata dia barai. Aku duduk dekat area kaki mak aku, badan dia masih tertutp dengan kain putih. Aku pegang lutut dia yang accident tu. Aku pegang. Aku keras masa tu. "Apa benda ni?"— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

"Eri, ikat rambut ambil wudhuk baca yassin untuk mek" abang aku bisik. Aku ikat rambut kembang aku. "Cabutlah subang tu" kakak aku tegur, aku bangun, aku pergi toilet, aku tarik terus subang aku. Aku ambil wudhuk. Aku keluarkan yassin mak aku bagi 4 bulan sebelum tu.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

"Eri, ambil yassin ni, ada tulisan rumi, boleh la mu baca nanti" ayat tu terus datang dekat aku. Aku tak pernah baca tak pernah buka pun. Aku simpan je. Aku terus pergi balik kat tempat aku. Aku duduk, tarik nafas. "Okay this is it, aku mengaji, mek eri mengaji ni" bisik hati aku— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Waktu tengah baca Yassin, tiba-tiba kedengaran suara, "Tu la, masa mek kau ada untuk ajar kau mengaji, kau tak nak.."

"Bismillahhirahmanirahim, yassin, walqur, walquran wal" aku gagap. Aku terus baca. Then aku dengar suara "tu la masa mek kau ada, ajar kau mengaji kau tak nak" suara tu ulang je benda ni. Makin lama makin kuat. Aku ignore je. Aku habiskan baca yassin.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Habis semua solat jenazah, kebumi, aku adik beradik duduk. "Kuih mek masak pagi tadi sedap sangat" suara kakak aku sedu sedu cerita. Aku tanya mak aku call siapa lagi pagi tadi, dia call aku. Aku anak jauh dia yang last dengar suara dia. Aku menung. Pedih pilu sakit lengkap— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Lepas habis semua, jiran aku datang. Dia cakap ada benda dia nak cerita. "Hang tahu tak mek hang berjalan petang tadi, dia pi jumpa jiran jiran dia, dia mintak maaf, tapi masa tu kami tak rasa apa" aku fikir lutut mak aku koyak tu tak elok lagi, tapi kuasa tuhan kan?— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Lepas tu depan rumah aku dekat felda sana ada dua jiran, bergaduh dari aku baby lagi. Dua dua mai menangis kata mak aku nasihat suruh berbaik, tak elok gaduh lama lama, putus silaturahim semua. Alhamdullilah sampai ke hari ni, jiran aku bff.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Kejadian aneh berlaku ketika dia berada di kubur. Kedengaran bunyi seperti orang menjerit, "Ya Allah sakit Ya Allah! Nak hidup Ya Allah, tolonggg...!"

Seminggu lepas tu, batu nisan dengan kepuk sampai. Aku, abang aku dengan ayah aku ke kubur. Kitaorang tunggu dekat rumah wakaf bahagian atas bukit. Lori sampai je ayah dgn abang aku gerak. Aku pandang je, aku angkat cangkul nak gerak ke bawah..— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Selangkah kaki aku keluar dari rumah wakaf tu, aku dengar orang jerit. Sebab kawasan kubur dekat dengan ladang kepala sawit, jerit tu benda biasa. Aku cuba tenangkan diri. Aku langkah je aku dengar "ya allah sakit ya allah, nak hidup ya allah, tolongggg tolonggggg"— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Aku punya cuak sebab selalu baca mastika takut tanah terbelah telan aku ke apa, aku terus selawat. Sepanjang aku nak ke kubur mak aku, aku dengar suara dia dah sayup. Suara dia horror gila. Aku tak akan lupa suara tu. lelaki. Aku akan ingat sampai mati.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Bila dah selesai aku diam je. Esok nak kena datang balik sebab masa tu  nak raya haji. Aku sampai kawasan kubur pagi tu dengan family aku. Ramai orang datang melawat. Kami satu family mula baca yassin, sekali aku dengar suara yang sama.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

"Tolong saya, tolong saya, sakit ni tolonglahhh" lama lama suara tu makin kuat. Aku pandang ke arah punca suara tu, aku tengok semua orang buat tak tahu. Semua orang buat mcm takda benda jadi. Lepas tu suara tu sayup balik. "Kenapa mu eri?" Bapak aku tegur "muka pucat bakpa?"— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Bila diberitahu kepada ayahnya tentang suara yang didengari, ini jawapannya...

Aku bisik dekat ayah aku "eri dengar suara orang kena siksa la" ayah aku senyum je, "mu tahu kan yang boleh dengar benda ni iblis, mu iblis ke?" Aku terus senyap. Sentap sekejap, tapi bila fikir, agaknya betul lah kot, tuhan nak tunjuk.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Habis cuti raya haji aku balik shah alam, tapi aku stay dekat rumah parent ex aku. Aku baring dekat sofa, aku tengok jam nak pukul 12 malam, aku lelep je aku nampak aku tengah tidur. Aku punya cuak, aku gerakkan kaki aku, okay gerak. Mimpi kot ni.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Lepas tu aku dengar suara yang sama ejek aku baca yassin gagap tu dia cakap "tak boleh dah ni, ajar mengucap" banyak kali dia ulang, aku punya meraung, maki semua ada. Aku sendiri nampak badan aku makin pucat. Kelam kabut dah aku. Tiba ada orang nak kejut aku— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Nampak wanita bertelekung putih kejut untuk bangun.
Rupanya arwah mak...

Orang tu perempuan, pakai telekung putih. Aku tak kenal suara dia, tapi dia duduk tepuk pipi aku "eri bangun eri, eri bangun" aku nak usha muka dia tapi setiap kali aku nak tengok, aku tak dapat. Last aku mengucap aku jerit "aku dah readylah" terus aku bangun.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Aku nampak arwah mak aku, dekat hujung kaki aku, aku nampak weyh. Dia senyum lepas tu, dia geleng kepala. Then baru aku betul sedar. Aku dengan mandi peluh, kaki lemah, aku tengok jam pukul 6pagi, merangkak aku pergi toilet. Gigil badan aku. Macam orang gila panik.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Aku setel solat semua. Aku menung. Apa benda yang jadi. Ni first time dalam hidup aku semua benda ni jadi. Aku share benda ni supaya korang tahu, sayanglah mak ayah korang. Aku bersyukur tuhan bagi aku 4 tahun happy dengan mak aku. Masa mak aku meninggal..— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Pesanan terakhir, sentiasa ingat ibu bapa di rumah.
Jangan pernah lupa mereka kerana jika ketiadaan mereka, anda akan kehilangan keajaiban doa buat selamanya.

First time aku nampak ayah aku lap air mata dia. 1 tahun tak pernah tak melawat kubur arwah mak aku sampai dia sakit dulu. Tu cinta wey bagi aku. Parent aku tunjuk apa tu cinta. Korang jangan lupa doakan mak ayah korang, yang mana ada lagi, call la selalu, tanya khabar.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Sekarang aku selalu call ayah aku. Walaupun tanya benda sama setiap kali call aku happy, dengar suara dia. Jangan jadi macam aku yang dulu. Sekarang aku tak boleh dengar suara mak aku, aku dah hilang keajaiban doa. Korang yang ada ibu, mintak dia doa baik baik untuk kau.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Aku akan ingat apa ayah aku cakap setiap kali dia nak balik dari kubur "miah, mu isteri yang baik. mu tunggu aku miah" korang yang baca sampai sini mintak sedekah doa untuk mak aku Mariah bte Ali. Thank you baca.— Pear (@pearkuku) March 23, 2019

Seperti umum tahu, seluruh negara kini sedang mengalami wabak yang sangat teruk iaitu Covid-19

Malaysia juga tidak terkecuali daripada pandemik ini. Berjuta orang telah meninggal dunia disebabkan terkena jangkitan penyakit tersebut.Sudah tentu, setiap pemimpin mahu lakukan yang terbaik buat negara mereka bagi mengekang wabak itu daripada terus menular.Salah satu langkahnya adalah degan memberikan suntikan vaksin kepada semua orang.

Apakah kepentingan mengambil vaksin Covid-19?

Menurut sumber, vaksin Covid-19 diberikan untuk mengawal penularan penyakit Covid-19. Apabila semakin ramai orang mendapat vaksinasi, ramai penduduk yang akan membentuk antibodi lebih kuat supaya dapat mengurangkan komplikasi yang teruk apabila dijangkiti oleh penyakit Covid-19.Secara tidak langsung ia bukan saja boleh melindungi golongan yang berisiko. Malah, semua orang termasuk kanak-kanak dan golongan warga emas pun dapat dilindungi.

Sebelum menerima suntikan vaksin Covid-19

Perkara pertama yang anda perlu lakukan adalah dengan mengemaskini maklumat peribadi anda di dalam aplikasi MySejahtera. Pastikan anda telah mengisi semua maklumat yang dikehendaki di dalam aplikasi tersebut.Jadi, sebelum menerima suntikan, petugas kesihatan akan memberikan sedikit penerangan kepada anda tentang vaksin berkenaan dan ada diminta untuk menandatangani Borang Persetujuan Menerima Vaksin Covid-19 di depan petugas kesihatan.Malah, anda mungkin tidak layak untuk menerima vaksin jika anda:Mempunyai sejarah kemasukan hospital disebabkan alahan yang terukMempunyai sejarah reaksi alahan pada mana-mana vaksin yang pernah diterima sebelum iniPesakit kanser yang sedang menjalani rawatan kanser seperti kemoterapi dan radioterapiPesakit yang menghidapi penyakit HIVIbu yang sedang hamil atau merancang kehamilan (Bergantung pada jenis vaksin)Ibu yang sedang menyusukan anak (Bergantung pada jenis vaksin)Individu yang sedang demam disebabkan jangkitan virus atau bakteriaIndividu yang mempunyai masalah sel darah putih yang rendah

Selepas menerima suntikan vaksin Covid-19

Pasti ramai yang tertanya apakah rasanya selepas menerima suntikan Covid-19 ini?Kebiasaannya, selepas saja anda menerima suntikan vaksin, anda akan dibawa ke ruang pemerhatian sekurang-kurangnya 15 minit. Ia adalah untuk melihat status kesihatan anda supaya anda tidak mengalami kesan sampingan yang teruk.Anda mesti memaklumkan kepada petugas kesihatan atau mendapatkan rawatan segera sekiranya anda mengalami tanda-tanda berikut selepas menerima vaksin Covid-19:Kesukaran untuk bernafasPembengkakan muka, bibir dan tekakDenyutan jantung yang sangat cepatRuam teruk timbul di seluruh badanMerasa pening dan lemah tubuh badan

Jika tiada tarikh tertentu, anda boleh menyemak aplikasi My Sejahtera untuk temu janji dos kedua.

Semoga perkongsian di atas dapat memberikan manfaat kepada anda semasa mengambil suntikan nanti :)

30 Things That Are Believed To Be Totally Taboo During The Hungry Ghost Festival

Hungry Ghost Festival a.k.a. the 7th month in the Chinese calendar marks the opening of the Gates of Hell, allowing the spirits of the dead to freely roam in the land of the living for an entire month

Image via mholloway63

During this period, Buddhist and Taoist devotees hold prayers and submit offerings to the guardians of Hell and the spirits as a mark of respect. Street performances are also enacted to entertain the spirits.This year, Hungry Ghost Festival falls from 19 August to 16 September.

In observance of the Ghost month, the Chinese observe a number of superstitions and beliefs - mainly focused on things that should be avoided - that have been passed down from their elders since the olden days, such as:

1. Don't sit on the front row of seats at opera street performances and getais. They are reserved for the unseen.

Image via anneileen92

The front row seats are roped off and left vacant for a reason, they are specially reserved for the spirits as a form of respect. Under no circumstances should you sit on any of those seats, even if all the seats behind it are taken. You would do better to stand by the side rather than risk offending the spirits.

2. Don't touch, step, or kick prayer items and offering for the hungry ghosts, especially those from temporary altars placed by the roadside. You should also refrain from making jokes or complaining about the prayer altars.

Image via Travels In Translation

The temporary altars are erected to pay respects and extend offerings in order to appease the hungry ghosts. If one were to mess with the offerings or even remark unfavourably upon them, it is believed that the spirits might get offended and disturb or follow him or her back home! In the event that one were to accidentally step on them, be sure to apologise or risk incurring the spirits' wrath. After all, you wouldn't like it if anyone steps on your food too, right?

3. Don't look under the altar, especially during prayer sessions

Image via Shamshahrin Shamsudin

The unseen may be having their feast underneath the table and they do not take too kindly to being disturbed.

4. Anything placed on the offering altar is considered as an offering for the spirits, so don't place your child on the altar!

Image via Art-Eater

There is an urban legend that's been going around for some time and it goes like this: A mother took her child to a Hungry Ghost Festival event. She place her child on the altar table while preparing her offerings, but when she turned to check on her child, the kid had already turned pale and passed away. Yep, the hungry ghosts have mistakenly devoured the kid's 'life essence'.

5. Avoid staying out too late at night and try to return home by sunset, more so if you are alone. This applies to everyone, especially children and pregnant women.

Image via Shockin Poop

Ghosts are at their strongest in the night because the "yin" energy from the moon strengthens them, whereas the "yang" energy from the Sun weakens them.

        allsingaporestuff.com

Spirits are said to be able to roam the streets freely to their supernatural hearts' content without being obstructed by human beings during the 7th month, hence your chances of 'bumping' into them are much higher. Some Chinese shops also opt to close down earlier during the inauspicious month.There is also a belief that children are much more susceptible to possession by wandering ghosts, while pregnant women are advised to not go out at all as the spirits are exceptionally attracted to foetuses.

Image via The Stir

6. Don't stand under a tree shade or a bus stop, especially alone during the night and after bus service times

Image via blendspace

It is believed that spirits favour the dark and cold conditions under a tree shade and bus stop, hence the spirits may follow you back home.

Image via viletaste

7. Any major travel or vacation plans should be postponed to after the 7th month, especially if it involves travel by plane or by sea, to avoid any mishaps caused by mischievous spirits

Image via SunnyTrans

8. In fact, avoid going near any body of water for the entire month. Don't go swimming or engage in any water-related activities.

It is said that vengeful water spirits who have drowned are determined to drag the living into the water as their 'substitute' in death so that they can leave the place where their souls linger and be reincarnated.Another belief is that spirits favour water due to its 'yin' environment.

It is commonly said that some swimmers who encountered "water ghosts" felt their legs being "pulled" at while they were swimming and they only managed to break free by luck or because they screamed for help or someone came to get them.

9. Avoid going for jungle trekking, hiking, or camping trips

It is believed that one is more vulnerable to possession and physical injuries during the Hungry Ghost month, as spirits tend to roam in jungles where the 'yin' energy is strong underneath the shade of trees.

10. Don't pick up any strange items you stumble upon on the streets, especially coins

Throwing coins on the street is part of the Hungry Ghost Festival ritual and apparently those coins are for the hungry ones to take, not you!

11. Don't be too curious. Ignore strange sounds like soft whispering or sobbing, as well as strange smells, particularly pleasantly sweet ones.

Image via pandayaang's Tumblr

No matter what you do, don't follow the sounds or smells!

12. If you sense something or feel a sudden coldness, remain calm (e.g. don't scream or start crying) and do not shift your eyes. Just look straight ahead and continue towards your destination.

If you treat the supernatural as if it is part of normal life and just go on with your business, the ghosts will have no power over you and they will be less likely to find trouble for you.

        allsingaporestuff.com

13. If someone taps you on the shoulder or calls your name from behind, do not turn around and look or answer the call. Seriously, DON'T ANSWER or the spirit may reveal itself to you.

Image via R.L. Crepeau

The Chinese believe that there are two torches of fire on your shoulders. Turning your head over your shoulders will put out these torches, causing an imbalance of yin and yang energy, making you more vulnerable. If need be, turn your whole body when someone calls you from the back.

        theinfluencermedia.com

Legend has it that any ghost who calls out you at night while you are walking alone is hostile and wants to possess or harm you. Spooky stories of how some people went missing or became stricken with illness after encountering such spirits abound.

        allsingaporestuff.com

14. Don't whistle at night

Image via susielindau

It is believed that roaming spirits are attracted to whistling, so you may be drawing attention to yourself. You could try humming or singing instead, although some believe that singing is also not advisable during this time.

15. Don't curse or swear out loud. You may offend and anger the spirits who happen to be on your path for being disrespectful.

16. Don't talk about ghosts (e.g. telling ghost stories) or worse, make fun of the supernatural

Image via litbites

The Chinese has a saying "Don't talk about ghosts at night and don't talk about humans in the day". When two or more people group together to talk about ghost stories in the middle of the night, they will tend to attract unwanted attention from wandering spirits and ghosts!

        foongpc.com

Avoid watching horror shows and talking about inauspicious topics like death, even if it's for laughs. The reason being that you wouldn't want the ghosts walking around to hear you making fun of them.

        allsingaporestuff.com

17. Avoid painting your nails in dark colours, particularly black, as the spirits may think you are one of them

Image via rose-angel-alice

Only the dead have nails which turned black due to the halt in blood flow. Black nails may lead the spirits to think that you are one of them and may lead you back to hell as well.

        missycheerio.com

18. Do not cover your forehead. If you have bangs, pin them up as high as possible.

Image via maymaykay / YouTube

This comes from the Chinese belief that the forehead has powerful yang energy emanating out from it and any ghost who wishes to cross you would be overpowered by your life energy.

        allsingaporestuff.com

Qi, or life energy, is believed to be concentrated at the forehead and therefore covering one's forehead will decrease the qi. Some also believe that shoulders and the top of the head represent the fire element, and tapping those parts during the festival will adversely affect one's luck.

        squarefoot.com.hk

19. Don't wear red or black clothing, the unseen are especially attracted to these colours and may follow you home. Ladies, avoid wearing high heels too!

Image via The Trent

According to beliefs, a person (or women) is opening themselves to spirit possessions if their heels are constantly elevated above the ground. Spirits are rising from the netherworld underneath us and basing on Chinese spiritual healing, one of the major energy points is found beneath our ankles that can be an entry point for spirits.

        trendingpod.com

20. Avoid hanging wet clothes late at night. It is believed that wandering ghosts will 'try on' the clothes and after that, be brought into the house along with the clothes.

Image via Steve Salt

21. During the night, do not open umbrellas inside the house or leave them open outside the house, especially if your umbrella is red or black

Image via Terry Williams / Flickr

Beside spirits being especially partial to the colours red and black, opening umbrellas in the house (or leaving them open outside) may seem like an open invitation for wandering ghosts to seek "shelter" under the umbrella and bring them into your home.

22. Don't kill rare insects like moths, butterflies, or grasshoppers in the house. The Chinese believe that they could be manifestations of spirits or ancestors paying a visit to the family home.

Image via Bianca Gravina-Price

23. Don't move into a new house, start renovations, or buy new furniture, especially mattresses. Also, avoid throwing housewarming dos and house parties.

Image via Coldwell Banker

This could inadvertently ‘invite’ some wandering spirits into your house as you are moving items into a new unoccupied space, which the spirits could deem as their own as well. Furthermore, they could hide from the guards to escape going back to their realm.

        missycheerio.com

24. Avoid leaning on or walking near walls, especially in the dark. It is believed that ghosts prefer to walk or fly along walls and stick to dark corners.

Image via The Gloss

25. Avoid taking photographs in the evening

Image via Kotaku

According to superstitious beliefs, taking any photographs at night – that includes selfies and instagram worthy vanity shots during the Ghost Month is not advisable as it will invoke spirits to associate with you. Traditional beliefs state that the camera or a photograph can record and trap spirits. Cameras are also long associated with ghosts as various “ghost images” or spirits captured in photographs have been subject for debate of their existence.

        trendingpod.com

26. It is inauspicious for couples to get married during the Hungry Ghost month

Image via Paintchild

Weddings during this month may not have a good ending, as believed, as there may be bad curses or hex placed by spirits on them. Furthermore, you would not want to have additional ‘uninvited guests’ crashing your party which you obviously did not plan for, do you?

        missycheerio.com

27. It is also considered an inauspicious period to visit a sick friend in the hospital, get surgery, or attend a funeral

Image via Paul Kounine

28. Don't stab chopsticks on your bowl of rice

Image via Just Hungry

Other than looking obscenely rude, having chopsticks stabbed on your bowl of rice also resembles the joss sticks offerings to the dead. It is indirectly cursing your own death and also telling the spirits that it is their bowl of rice.

        theinfluencermedia.com

29. Avoid leaving the main door to your home or any other premise open, especially at night, to avoid inviting negative energy or unwanted spirits into the premises

Image via houseti

30. Avoid talking to yourself

Image via Science ABC

We tend to talk to ourselves at a time of stress. In this time where spirits wander freely around us, talking to yourself attracts spirits as it is an invitation for interaction. So when you are alone in your cubicle or office, don’t mutter to yourself. Spirits crave interaction with the living at this time of the year and they will seek every opportunity to do so.

        trendingpod.com

These superstitions and prohibitions may seem like they're aimed at scaring people into not doing at all, but it should be noted that they are subject to personal beliefs

Regardless, many observe these age-old traditions and beliefs as a form of respect for the dead. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry!


Johor Sultan Stands Up For The Right Of Mums To Pass Citizenship To Children Born Overseas

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

The Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, has thrown his weight behind Malaysian mothers fighting for their right to pass citizenship to children born overseas on an equal basis with Malaysian men

According to a post on the Johor Sultan's official Facebook page yesterday, 18 September, it was stated that Sultan Ibrahim has urged Attorney General (AG) Tan Sri Idrus Harun to abort the government's appeal against the Kuala Lumpur High Court's 9 September landmark ruling, in which Judge Akhtar Tahir affirmed the right of Malaysian mothers to confer citizenship by operation of law on their children born abroad.Following the High Court's decision, the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) — acting for the government — filed a notice of appeal to overturn the ruling at the Court of Appeal on 13 September.Sultan Ibrahim believes, the Facebook post said, that all children born to Malaysian parents abroad, regardless of the parent being a father or mother, must be accorded the right to citizenship in this country."Why discriminate against Malaysian mothers with overseas-born children? This is a basic right of every child, irrespective of whether the Malaysian parent is the father or the mother," he said.

In the post that has since received widespread support from the people, the Johor ruler added that it does not feel right that Malaysian mothers and fathers are "viewed differently" in the eyes of the law

"It doesn’t feel right that Malaysian fathers and mothers are viewed differently in the eyes of the law concerning their child's citizenship. Are Malaysian mothers less Malaysian than Malaysian fathers?"Taking note of the brain drain of talented and qualified young people in the country, the Johor Sultan said that the government should stop rejecting citizenship rights to deserving individuals."Now is the time to embrace, welcome, and nurture them as Malaysians, not to reject and turn them away. Such a policy is fundamentally flawed," Sultan Ibrahim stated.He said that in the spirit of the "Keluarga Malaysia" (Malaysian Family) espoused by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, AG Idrus and the government should withdraw the appeal immediately.

Image via Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar (Facebook)

The government's decision to challenge the High Court ruling is puzzling given that several Cabinet ministers had voiced their approval

In fact, two days after the ruling, Women, Family, and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rina Mohd Harun had called it a "new ray of hope for Malaysian women" in a Facebook post.Rina stated that it reflected the government's commitment to creating equality for women and that it will highlight women's development in various aspects that can benefit the "Malaysian Family" agenda.Two other Cabinet ministers had welcomed the ruling.


Man Sues Apple Because His Wife Left Him. What's Going On?

Man whose wife left him over his porn addiction sues Apple

A married Nashville lawyer and amateur model is suing Apple claiming the tech giant should have blocked him from accessing porn when he, apparently by accident, typed 'F***book.com instead of Facebook into Google.

        dailymail.co.uk

Chris Sevier filed a 50-page complaint in federal court last month claiming the supposedly innocent spelling mistake resulted in him viewing a plethora of pornographic images that 'appealed to his biological sensibilities as a male and lead to an unwanted addiction,' which then ruined his marriage

        thesun.co.uk

Sevier, an army veteran who on a Model Mayhem profile lists his age as 26, states in the suit that Apple should sell all products with an installed porn-filter. He is seeking damages from the company.

        hngn.com

'The Plaintiff is a victim of Apple's product that was sold to him without any warning of the damage the pornography causes,' the suit reads.

        edgeboston.com

Servier goes on in the complaint to allege 'unfair competition' between the porn stars and his wife, brought about by his use of the Apple product, and thus 'interference of the marital contract.'

        dailymail.co.uk

He is also seeking damages because of becoming so "depressed and despondent" that he was unable to work.

        theregister.co.uk

Sevier takes no responsibility for his addiction claiming he was doomed to failure as soon as he accidentally found his way to a pornography website. Without any restrictions on what he could and could not view, he was left no choice.

        hngn.com

The Tennessee lawyer demands new filter to block indecent content

Nashville lawyer Chris Sevier argues that Apple should install a content filter in its browsers to block all internet porn

        time.com

His “reasonable policy” would only allow users 18 years of age or older to access inappropriate content if they contact Apple and sign a form acknowledging the perils of porn. Only then would a user receive a code to access the free interwebs.

Will Malaysia's New Tax Rates On Beer Affect Your Alcohol Consumption?

On 2 March, news of the Malaysian Finance Ministry mulling over the idea of increasing the alcohol tax spread, with many in the alcohol trade expressing concerns about the effects of the tax increment

The alcohol tax on beer and stout is expected to go up by at least 10 per cent this week, a source in the alcoholic beverage industry said.The Finance Ministry is expected to announce the revised rate at a press conference tomorrow. The last tax revision was a decade ago.“We do not know by how much the government will increase the tax. It is now at 15 per cent and we think it can go up by an additional 10 per cent,” the source said.“The manufacturers are now preparing a plan to raise their prices depending on the percentage announced by the ministry. Beer and stout will definitely cost more.”

        themalaymailonline.com

Confirming that the government will be announcing the new alcohol tax rates today, 3 March, Guinness Anchor Berhad (GAB) managing director Hans Essaadi informed that they have already made price adjustments to their products accordingly

"GAB acknowledges the news that the government has decided to raise excise duty on beer and stout effective 1 March 2016. As a result, we have made price adjustments to our portfolio of products in line with the new tax structure," read the press statement by GAB’s managing director Hans Essaadi, as reported by Malay Mail Online yesterday, 2 March.

"We are also concerned that the demand for illicit and unregulated alcohol products may increase," said Essaadi, adding that the current state of economy may make matters worse for those in the legal liquor industry.

He also said the hike would make their business harder amid an economy that is already bearing down on businesses and consumers,"The state of the economy is having a significant impact on businesses and consumers and the latest increase in excise duty on beer and stout will make the environment more challenging to our industry," said Essaadi.

        malaysiakini.com

Meanwhile, the Malay Mail Online was reportedly given a revised wholesale price listing of GAB’s alcoholic drinks by a pub-keeper and the rates inclusive of the six percent Goods and Services Tax (GST) are as follows:

In Peninsular Malaysia, a 24-pack carton of Guinness stout now costs RM202.12 from RM192.13 previously while the 24-pack of 500ml cans now costs RM280.89 compared to RM262.03 previously.A carton of Tiger beer now costs RM173.77, an increase of RM5.92 from RM167.85 previously, while its 24-can pack of 500ml costs RM238.79 compared to RM229.44 previously.One 24-can carton of Heineken beer costs RM213.76 from RM208.61 previously, while a 4X6 can bundle costs RM213.76 from RM208.61 previously.One 24-can carton of Anchor beer is now RM142.15 now from RM143.90, a reduction of RM0.75.

        themalaymailonline.com

The list further revealed the the pinch will be greater for those living in East Malaysia, as there is a price hike up to 7% as opposed to the 5% in West Malaysia

One 24-can carton of the Guinness stout now costs RM191.63 compared to RM181.63, while one 24-can carton of Tiger beer costs RM181.99 from RM176.07 previously.One 24-can carton of Heineken meanwhile costs RM190.66 from the previous RM185.50, and one 24-can carton of Anchor beer costs RM139.61, from the previous RM141.35, registering a reduction of RM1.74.

The Malaysian Singapore Coffee Shop Proprietors General Association president Ho Su Mong lamented that about 30% of their members are already doing poorly due to the increasing cost of living and implementation of GST

"Of our 20,000 members, some 30 per cent are struggling as it is. The increase could put them out of business and cause a loss of livelihood. "Many members have pleaded with us to urge the government to consider postponing the tax hike till we are in better economic times," said Ho, adding that manufacturers would be forced to increase their prices which would cause a domino-effect that would lead to retailers hiking up their rates too.“In the end, our patrons will be paying for it and we will have to deal with the fallout from an angry public," explained Ho when speaking to the Malay Mail Online.

Speaking about the tourism industry, Alcohol Consumer-Rights Group founder Deepak Gill, said that high alcohol prices in Malaysia may push tourists to consider other destinations, thus affecting both the tourism and alcohol industry

“It is not possible to underestimate the role these beverages play in drawing tourists. Rather than a tax hike, the authorities should instead reduce the tax on beer and stout.“We already have tourists complaining that our beer prices are ridiculously high and they are considering other destinations,” he said.Deepak said last year saw prices of alcohol shoot up by at least 15 per cent post GST and the depreciating ringgit had compounded the problem.“Hops and barley have to be imported. This means the industry is already under strain and the additional pressure this hike will cause does not bode well for consumers,” he said.

Malaysia imposes the third highest tax on alcohol worldwide, and the highest excise tax rate on beer and stout in Asia

Malaysia's alcohol tax structure
Image via Malaysian Brewers

Compared to neighbouring Asian countries, Malaysia continues to levy the highest excise tax rate on beer and stout. Following three consecutive tariff hikes (2004 to 2006), Malaysia now has the second highest duty on beer in the world after Norway. The excise duty for beer is RM7.40 per litre plus 15 percent ad varolem tax. The high excise duty imposed on the industry impacts the affordability of legitimate beer products for consumers and may potentially have a significant impact on the industry and on government revenue.

        malaysianbrewers.com.my

The Confederation of Malaysian Brewers have stated a number of impacts that the high prices for legitimate beer products may pose, namely;

Kedah Anti Smuggling Unit (UPP) seizing smuggled beers
Image via The Star

1) Smuggling and contraband beer products- Contraband beer products have become an attractive option for drinkers as the high excise duties have led to relatively high prices for duty paid beer. As a result, it is estimated that the Malaysian government loses over RM900 million annually in alcohol tax revenue including excise and import duties due to illegal smuggling of contraband beer and stout products. 2) Cheap Imported Beer (CIB) - Cheap imported beer (CIB) refers to imported beers that do not pay taxes as they are smuggled into the country, allowing them to be taxed at a lower price than locally-produced beers that pay sales and excise taxes. Based on industry estimates, the volume of CIBs in the market has grown five-fold to 250,000 hectolitres between 2010 – 2013. This equates to approximately RM310 million in Government tax losses.3) Compounded Hard Liquor (CHL) - Compounded hard liquor (CHL) refers to products made from imported raw alcohol which is locally blended or “home brewed”. Because CHL in Malaysia is currently taxed at a lower rate than other alcohol products, it has become an attractive alternative for consumers. The consumption of CHL poses risks as many of these CHL products do not adhere to stringent production, health and safety standards and can be harmful when consumed.

Clear Coca-Cola Will Be Available In FamilyMart Outlets In Malaysia Next Month

Apparently making drinks that look but don't taste like water is currently the in-thing among beverage manufacturers

Image via Nylon

Transparent milk tea and colourless coffee, just to name a few.

The latest company to cash in on the craze for clear drinks is a Fortune 500 conglomerate.
We're of course talking about Coca-Cola.

Image via SoraNews24

Coca-Cola first launched the clear Coke in Japan in June, priced at 140 yen (around RM5) for a 500ml bottle and 115 yen (around RM4) for a 280ml bottle.The drink was introduced to Singaporeans later that month.

Image via SoraNews24

What about Malaysia? Well, here's the good news: The see-through drink will be available early August at all FamilyMart outlets!

Image via FamilyMartMalaysia

It will retail at a price of RM8.49 for a 500ml bottle. The beverage is part of the convenience store's "Summer Fun & Fresh" range of products.Some netizens have pointed out that the drink is available in selected Jaya Grocer stores as well.

According to media reports, the idea for a clear Coke was conceived in Japan and the company's US headquarters spent a year developing it

Image via Coca-Cola Japan

The company had to do away with a caramel ingredient, which stripped the beverage of its signature brown-ish shade. Kotaku revealed that over 50 samples were tested and Coca-Cola eventually settled on a zero calorie version of the fizzy drink with a splash of lemon.

Thoughts on the Coca-Cola Clear? Will you try it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments sections below!

10 Things Anwar Hates About Najib's Financial Sense

1. Barisan Nasional could afford to increase the government's administrative expenditure to RM22 billion...

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today questioned why the government's operational expenditure has been going up but development budgets for important ministries are reduced.

        fz.com

"A characteristic and main problem with the Barisan Nasional Budget is that administrative spending again went up from RM 216.2 billion in 2013 to RM 217.6 billion in 2014," he said.

        mmail.com.my

Anwar noted that while development spending was cut, the budgeted operational expenditure for the Prime Minister’s Department (PMD) for 2014 rose by RM1.5 billion compared to the budget for this year.

        themalaymailonline.com

“It is clear that development for the poor continues to be neglected but the payments to expensive consultants at the PMO is maintained and increased,” he said.

        themalaymailonline.com

Government operational expenditure was increased to RM22 billion by 13%

2. ... but reduced the allocation for developing schools, hospitals and roads in rural areas to RM7.3 billion

"We are informed that before (Prime Minister Datuk Seri) Najib Razak took over the government, the government usually allocated 30% to 35% of the Budget for development expenditure.
"But during Najib's era this percentage has come down by 20%. Does the government needs reminding that there is still a lot of development to be carried out in states such as Sabah and Sarawak," he asked.

        fz.com

Meanwhile, development spending has continued to drop from RM 45.1 billion in 2013 to RM 44.5 billion in 2014. Allocations for road construction projects in Sabah and Sarawak — a key election pledge by Najib before the May 5 polls — were cut by RM158 million.

3. The wastage and leakages in government spending have not been addressed

"Wastage and leakages have not been addressed... our contention is that before you talk about new tax measures including GST, which can be rationalised in terms of an efficient tax system, you must avoid the leakages amounting to RM20 to RM30 billion," said Anwar.

        fz.com

4. Imposing a GST of 6% will cause a bigger burden for the lower and middle income group

"You actually lower tax for the rich and you talk about incentives and special funds for companies, but at the same time you impose a general services tax which will impose the larger population - this is a paradox.
"You punish the rakyat for your irresponsible spending... because it means transferring the entire pressure to the masses," he added when approached at Parliament lobby.

He said this was why Pakatan believed GST must be reviewed first and implemented only when the rakyat’s income level was satisfactory, the income tax system revamped, and the country’s economy stable.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

He pointed out that the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Report 2012 had revealed in its report that the GST was more regressive in developing and transition economies than in developed counties.
“The low- and middle-income earners will lose a higher percentage of their income to pay for the GST compared with high-income earners,”

5. Thus, it will further widen the income gap between the rich and the poor

Malaysia could see itself heading towards an income cliff similar to that of the United States if it rolls out the contentious goods and services tax (GST), Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today in a continued attack against the new tax scheme.

        yahoo.com

While the prime minister stressed that GST will replace the existing Sales and Service Tax (SST), opposition parties have rejected the tax saying that it further burdens the people who are already faced with increasing living cost.
"Invariably you cause the widening of the the gap between the rich and poor," said Anwar.

        fz.com

"If you want to alleviate the burden there should be a coherent policy that covers the whole spectrum," said Anwar.

6. When it is implemented, GST will cause an inflation of 5%

Anwar also reiterated past claims that the GST would spike inflation. He estimated inflation to be at 5 per cent after its implementation. The present rate is already at a high 2.5 per cent.

7. Cutting the sugar subsidy will only strengthen the monopoly of Malaysia's two main sugar companies

Sugar companies, including that of politically-linked tycoon Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, are expected to rake in a profit of RM1 billion from Putrajaya's move to cut sugar subsidy, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today in his criticism of Budget 2014.

        yahoo.com

But Anwar argued that Najib should liberalise the sugar industry to break up the monopoly and avert a sharp price hike stemming from the subsidy cut.
“It should be done and this can help prevent inflation in price due to subsidy cuts with the entry of new players,” he said.

        yahoo.com

"With the removal of subsidy, the profit before tax of the companies are expected to skyrocket between 20 to 25 per cent with the estimated returns of RM1 billion," Anwar said in his speech on the 2014 Budget debate.

8. Najib "forgot" to mention that the prices of cooking oil will also increase

Anwar said Najib had also failed to mention that the government was cutting cooking oil subsidies by RM505 million through the Cooking Oil Stabilisation Scheme.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

“While the people are still in shock over the price hike of sugar, why did the prime minister in his budget speech shy away from announcing a price increase of cooking oil, an amount almost the same as the sugar cut?” asked Anwar.

9. Millions of ringgit allocated to create agencies that already exist

The newly announced RM15 million Malaysian Green Foundation is similar to the Green Technology Corporation; the RM30 million Bumiputera Entrepreneurs Start-Up Scheme (Superb) is similar to Teraju; the RM50 million Malaysian Global Innovation and Creative Centre (MaGIC) is similar to the Malaysia Innovation Agency and the Malaysian Foundation for Innovation.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

10. Najib wasn't there to debate Budget 2014 with him. Debating about it in Parliament is like talking to the deaf.

"Debating in Parliament here, it's like talking to the deaf," Anwar said during his debate, after Anthony Loke Siew Fook (DAP-Seremban) pointed out that no senior minister was present in the House to listen to the opposition leader's take on the budget.

        malaysiakini.com

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Shahidan Kassim was the only cabinet member present during the debate.
Even Finance Minister II Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah was absent

        malaysiakini.com

"When I was the finance minister, if I tabled a budget on a Friday, I would come on Monday to listen to Gelang Patah (Lim Kit Siang, then Opposition leader)," Anwar said.
"Of course, sometimes (listening to Lim at the time) hurts my ears, but that is the practise of democracy," he added.

        malaysiakini.com

Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has likened his debate on the Budget 2014 akin to "talking to the deaf" due to the absence of Prime Minister and Finance Minister Najib Abdul Razak to listen to his debate.

More M'sians Are Being Diagnosed With Prediabetes. What Is It And How Does It Affect You?

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

Many Malaysians are well aware of diabetes, as well as its causes, symptoms, and treatments.
But, have you heard of prediabetes?

Image via Diabetes UK

As its name suggests, prediabetes is a serious health condition in which a person's blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but are not yet high enough to be diagnosed as Type 2 diabetes.It is often considered a gateway condition to Type 2 diabetes. If left undiagnosed and untreated, prediabetes could lead to irreversible long-term damage to your heart, blood vessels, eyes, and kidneys.

According to the 2019 National Health and Morbidity Survey, the number of prediabetes cases in Malaysia has increased three-fold, from 8.8% in 2015 to 23.6% in 2019

Image via Nestlé Health Science (Provided to SAYS)

That's almost a quarter of the population at risk of Type 2 diabetes if left unchecked, undiagnosed, and with no corrective actions taken.A reason for this increase could be that prediabetes usually does not present any symptoms, which is why most people are unaware that they have the condition. Many people live with prediabetes for years without even realising it, and the condition often goes undetected until serious health problems arise.

So, without any symptoms, how can you tell if you have prediabetes?

The only way to know for sure is by getting a doctor to do a simple blood sugar test for you.Those with the following risk factors should look into getting tested:- Overweight (BMI of  >23kg/m2) or obese (BMI of  >27.5kg/m2)- Aged 45 years or older- Has a parent, sibling, or child with Type 2 diabetes (in this case, you're two to six times more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes)- Is physically active less than three times a week- Has had gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) or given birth to a baby who weighed more than nine pounds- Has polycystic ovary syndromeTo assess your risk of developing prediabetes, you can take the Nestlé Health Science prediabetes risk assessment.

Nevertheless, you can take comfort from the fact that prediabetes is a lifestyle disease. As such, it can be delayed, reversed, or even entirely prevented.

Image via Nestlé Health Science (Provided to SAYS)

Think of the condition as a warning sign — an opportunity to take control of your own health before your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes increases.Making simple lifestyle changes such as eating healthier and being more active are the most effective interventions for treating or reversing prediabetes.For example, in The World Journal of Diabetes, it is stated that walking for at least 150 minutes per week was shown to reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes by approximately 50%.

Dietary management, including meal planning and making healthier food choices, is a crucial part of preventing or reversing prediabetes

Image via Nestlé Health Science (Provided to SAYS)

To keep the condition at bay, as well as to meet your daily nutritional needs, it's important to eat a variety of food — fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Other vital points to consider in your diet include prioritising carbohydrates with a low glycemic index (GI) and practising portion control.Associate Professor Dr Barakatun Nisak Mohd Yusof, Deputy Dean and Dietitian, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, UPM, shared, "It's not just how much you eat, but the type of carbohydrates you eat. For people with prediabetes, the body has a challenge managing blood sugar levels after a meal."Prioritise carbohydrates with a low GI and practise portion control. Food with a low GI contains carbohydrates that take the body longer to break down, and are less likely to cause a rapid fluctuation in blood sugar levels."

To commemorate World Diabetes Day, Nestlé Health Science has launched a new website dedicated to helping Malaysians beat prediabetes

Image via NutrenDiabetes

Aiming to play a critical role in identifying Malaysians at risk of prediabetes and assist them in planning their dietary needs, the newly launched NutrenDiabetes website is a one-stop resource hub for everything you need to know about the condition.You'll be able to identify your risk level through the website's prediabetes risk assessment tool. Once you do so, you'll get customised meal plan suggestions based on your risk level, consisting of hundreds of delicious recipes.

To complete your journey, the website also offers nutritionally balanced meal replacement solutions from Nestlé Health Science's comprehensive NUTREN range

Image via NutrenDiabetes

According to Rachel Liu, Medical Affairs Executive and Dietician at Nestlé Health Science Malaysia, "maintaining a balanced blood sugar level through careful nutritional intake is an essential component of diabetes management."As a complete meal replacement solution, NUTREN untuk DIABETIK has a low GI of 28, and contains all the vitamins and minerals to deliver a nutritionally balanced diet, for a balanced meal."

Serial Dog Killer In Subang Suspected After 2 Pet Dogs Die At Home Over Alleged Poisoning

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

A serial dog killer is suspected to be at large after two dogs died of alleged poisoning within the same week in the same neighborhood in Subang Jaya, Selangor

According to SJ Echo, Subang Jaya district police chief ACP Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said the police received a report from a Belgian Shepherd's owner, surnamed Wong, on 16 February, regarding the alleged poisoning of her pet dog.In her police report, Wong said her closed-circuit television (CCTV) captured a person throwing something into her compound in SS17 at 11.32pm on 15 February.The suspect was wearing a dark-coloured T-shirt and a face mask during the incident.China Press reported that the item thrown into Wong's car porch was later found to be buns allegedly laced with poison.By 12.10am, her Belgian Shepherd started vomiting. It suddenly convulsed and collapsed to the ground. Its eyes turned white and foam was coming out from its mouth. It died not long after.

"The Belgian Shepherd was allegedly poisoned. We have sent the dead dog to Universiti Putra Malaysia's Veterinary Hospital for an autopsy to determine the cause of death," said the police

The case is currently being investigated under Section 428 of the Penal Code. Wan Azlan said the police have received the CCTV footage provided by Wong.If convicted, the suspect can be imprisoned for up to three years and faced with a fine, or both."[Once] the evidence is conclusive and the suspect is in custody, we will most likely recommend to the deputy public prosecutor to charge the person under Section 30 of the Animal Welfare Act 2015," Wan Azlan added.The provision under the Animal Welfare Act carries a heftier fine.

Wong is now afraid for the safety of her family as her child once found "sweets" within the compound of her home, which she also suspects to be drugs or poison.

Meanwhile, another dog in SS17 had also succumbed to suspected poisoning

A nine-year-old female Pit Bull mix, named Oreo, vomited and coughed blood for two days before it died, according to its owner, surnamed Ong."On 16 February at around 7.30pm, Oreo was active as she usually was  when my son fed her. But just about 15 minutes later, we found her vomiting," SJ Echo quoted him as saying."Right after that, Oreo lost consciousness. I immediately brought her to a veterinary clinic in SS14."The veterinarian said Oreo showed signs of poisoning and there was very little that could be done. After an injection, Ong brought her dog home and it died two days later.He then lodged a police report after learning about a similar incident in the neighborhood. SJ Echo reported that Wan Azlan had confirmed receiving Ong's police report.

"Ours was only the second house built on that hill, everything else was trees and wildlife.As a 7-year-old, I was terrified after hearing what the imam said. So, my sister and I slept with my mum in her room. We didn't even have electricity yet (or maybe we did, but I remember it was dark). So, my mother opened the window, which overlooked a tall tree next to our house.That night, I remember squeezing with my sister under the same blanket. The next morning, my mum asked me what I saw. I said nothing.But she then told me, when she woke up in the middle of the night, I was sitting by the window, looking at the tall tree, and on that tree there were two "women" just floating around it. She panicked and carried me back to the mattress."- Pedd

2. "While on holiday as a child, I almost ended up staying at a haunted hotel eeeeeee!"

"So, I used to be in this Christian group and we would all go on holidays together every year. One year, we booked rooms in this hotel in Port Dickson. It looked decent.But then there was some mix-up and my family had to be put in a completely different hotel building. After all the stories I heard after the first night, I'M SO GLAD WE WERE IN A DIFFERENT HOTEL OMG!In one of the incidents, a bunch of our family friends were together in the hall and just chatting when the TV suddenly turned on by itself. It wasn’t even plugged in. In another one, their daughter was talking in her sleep in a voice that wasn’t her own and then she started sleepwalking. T__T"- Andrew

3. "There was a rumour in my neighbourhood that the corner house on my row was haunted by a spirit who was shot dead during a police standoff"

"It wasn’t a bad spirit or anything, but I was bothered by it, so we had to get a priest to come and bless my room with holy water huhuhu. After that, the figure wasn’t there anymore. I think it was the spirit of an old man who used to live in the house."- Jane

My mother noticed that the mother of that family always looked very anxious and apprehensive.One day, she told my mum that sometimes, she wakes up at 3am to find a huge black figure looming over her bedside (eek), and she has bruises the next morning. Things got so bad to the point where 'something' would grab her kids by their leg and flip them over.They called a priest over and he said that the previous owner of the house actually reared a Siamese ghost for 'business purposes'. Because she left, there was no one to feed it, so it was angry.They had to 'nail' the ghost to an altar outside the house and things were okay after that. But I always get the creeps whenever I pass it!"- Rini

There was no one outside my room, but we could hear loud footsteps stomping TUM TUM TUM on the stairs. We could hear the lights being switched on outside too.My maid suddenly SCREAAAMEEDDD because she felt someone massaging her foot. She used to massage my grandma's feet quite frequently, so I guess my grandma was paying her back in a way.The smell and heat remained for few hours, until about 1am when it all went back to normal. From that day onwards, I believe that spirits exist."- Jam

"He's Better Than My Husband" — Woman Details A Crush She Has On Her Married Co-Worker

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

Work can often be a really fun place once we find those whom we share common interests with.
But is there such a thing as getting a little too comfortable with a co-worker?

A recent confession made to the Malaysian Twitter page, @ConfessTweetMY, saw a woman express her fondness over one of her colleagues — that may be a cause for greater concern.Speaking on numerous characteristics relating to his personality and physical appearance, the woman describes how her 'friendship' with her co-worker has grown over time.However, she doesn't hold back in iterating her purest emotions felt towards the guy — more specifically how she has a full blown crush on him. The kicker to the whole situation? They're both married.

Diving straight into her current dilemma, the unnamed confessor states that she has fallen hard for one of her male colleagues

Complimenting him in numerous aspects, she describes how attractive he is in multiple ways. "He's soft-spoken, smart, and impeccably handsome!"While he sounded like the perfect catch, the confessor iterates how he is a married man. Things get spicier, however, when she mentions that she is unable to move on from her affection towards him."The more I try to forget about him, the more I miss him. Now we're in the same department, and he loves to ask me if I've eaten already, if I'm feeling well, and tells me to go and take a nap in the prayer hall if I'm feeling tired," she wrote.Gushing over him, the confessor expresses how she is taken by his caring demeanour. "Even my husband doesn't ask me those questions at home."

Explaining their close relationship, the confessor mentions how she takes active steps to hang out with him whenever she can."Sometimes, I simply wait around in the pantry so we can eat together. He even talks about his small baby at home, and shows me pictures on his phone."Ending her story, the confessor states how lucky his wife is to get a husband like him.

Responding to the confession, multiple Twitter users shared their take on the woman's crush — most of whom criticised her for having such feelings for a married man

Flooded with a plethora of harsh comments, many people told the confessor that she needs to get a grip, and not try to pursue or engage in her romantic emotions with a married man."How old are you? Why did you get married? Just because someone told you to go and sleep in a prayer room, you catch feelings? You are someone's wife. He is a friendly man, don't you have any sense to distance yourself from him? Waiting for him, trying to do immoral things?" wrote one person.

Image via @ConfessTweetMY (Twitter)

Others tried to tell the confessor that her co-workers' questions are merely to make conversation and to be friendly — advising her not to fall for someone just because they're trying to maintain a civil work environment."Him asking you if you ate is normal conversation. This man must be really good looking, cause no one would fall for someone who asks such normal things."Speaking on the man's family life, one Twitter user said that the man clearly loves his family, and that the confessor should not get any ideas in her head."If he's talking about his child, showing you photos of his baby, you need to understand that he's telling you about his family because he loves them. You don't need to flounder around and get too close with him," they wrote.

Image via @ConfessTweetMY (Twitter)

Image via @ConfessTweetMY (Twitter)

Giving a different perspective, a few users opined that the confessor's co-worker holds some blame for her developing feelings for him, too."Normally, when a man cares too much about other people, his own wife doesn't check on him and his emotions," said one user, seemingly taking a dig at both the confessor and the co-worker."Your own man doesn't ask you those questions because he's asking another woman, instead. Just like your colleague," sharply wrote another.

Image via @ConfessTweetMY (Twitter)

Image via @ConfessTweetMY (Twitter)

Nonetheless, one of the most fruitful comments of the bunch came from a user who cautioned the confessor on knowing her circle and limitations, since she herself is married."Once you have a partner, don't overdo it. When you start caring for them, things like this are bound to happen. Then, cases of cheating will happen. If all the parties involved already have a partner, just avoid hanging out together," they penned.

Here's What This M'sian Dad Said That Inspired A PhD Student To Complete Her Studies

29-year-old PhD student Norhidayu Hasan is a plucky woman who was pursuing a PhD course in Language and Malay Linguistics at University Putra Malaysia (UPM)

While strong by nature, nothing could have prepared her for the devastating news of her father's passing in 2019, while she was still in her first year of her studies. According to Harian Metro, Norhidayu's father unfortunately passed away due to an illness and did not get to witness his youngest daughter graduate.The lorry driver and canteen operator reportedly passed five days before Norhidayu could present her PhD proposal paper.Norhidayu, who hails from Jerantut, Pahang, was incredibly close with her father.

It hasn't been easy for the Jerantut native, as she reportedly went through a depressive stage for three months while trying to cope with her grief over losing her father

According to Bernama, Norhidayu reportedly lost weight and her motivation to continue her studies. "My father passed away so suddenly. I lost my will to continue with the PhD study, and I almost gave up. Losing my father was as if I lost my wings, hands, and feet. I felt so stressed, and I cried every day," Norhidayu said.However, the 29-year-old carried her father's final words along with her throughout her journey toward attaining her PhD, which were, "Adik, knowledge is everywhere. Don't ever feel tired or bored in your quest for knowledge."From then on, Norhidayu decided to pick herself back up."Instead of continuing to be depressed, [I] went straight back to UPM to present [my] PhD proposal paper. I thought that if I succeeded in my thesis, God would open a path for me, but if I failed, He must have other plans for me," the linguistics student said.

And it was all worthwhile because the student is now known as Dr Norhidayu

Speaking with reporters at the convocation ceremony in Serdang, Norhidayu described the day as a "bittersweet" one."My parents made sacrifices for me that are too many to repeat. My strength comes from my parents and without them, there would not be me," the doctorate holder said while trying to hold back her tears.The 29-year-old also gave props to her closest friend and her older sister for being her pillars of support during her time of need. "My family lives far from my place of study. But I had my best friend who has helped me through so much. My older sister also always supported me and I would sometimes go to her home to be with her," she reminisced.The young woman now looks forward to pursuing her dream of becoming a lecturer.
