Keretakan di dalam UMNO kelihatan semakin jelas apabila mantan Ketua Pemuda, Khairy Jamaluddin telah meluahkan rasa dukacitanya terhadap parti tersebut melalui beberapa tweet

Khairy atau lebih mesra disapa KJ yang tewas dalam merebut jawatan Presiden UMNO baru-baru ini menegaskan bahawa parti itu masih gagal dalam mendengar suara rakyat walaupun jelas kelihatan berdasarkan keputusan PRU14 yang lalu. "Sejak pemilihan UMNO berakhir, apakah yang dilakukan oleh parti saya? Bermain dengan sentimen perkauman, mengumpul sumbangan untuk bekas presiden kami dan lain-lain.

"Tidak salah bagi kita untuk bersatu padu demi Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, tetapi itu bukanlah satu-satunya perkara yang ditawarkan oleh 'UMNO baru'," kata KJ merujuk kepada kempen sumbangan yang dilancarkan oleh kumpulan yang dikenali sebagai Solidariti Bersama Datuk Najib pada 5 Julai lalu."Kami telah menerima pukulan maut semasa Pilihan Raya Umum ke-14, tetapi kami masih tuli dengan suara rakyat," tambahnya lagi.

KJ turut mengkritik pemimpin UMNO yang lain kerana mencetuskan sentimen perkauman di kalangan orang Melayu berikutan pelantikan orang bukan Islam dalam jawatan tertinggi dalam kerajaan

"Jika modal kita untuk Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 adalah untuk memprovokasi orang Melayu dengan isu pelantikan bukan Melayu sebagai Peguam Negara, Ketua Hakim Negara dan sebagainya, maka lupakan sahaja impian menawan semula Putrajaya," katanya.Beliau berkata kebimbangan ini adalah "perkara remeh" berbanding dengan isu sosio-ekonomi.

Bekas Menteri Belia dan Sukan itu berkata UMNO kini berada di persimpangan, sama ada mengambil haluan kanan atau tengah

"Memilih untuk ke haluan kanan mungkin menang sorak sementara, tetapi pasti lingkup 10-15 tahun lagi. Haluan tengah bukan mudah kerana ianya sukar difahami akar umbi. Tetapi itulah jalan yang ada untuk hidup," jelasnya.

Beliau menambah bahawa beliau memilih untuk tidak meninggalkan parti itu kerana beliau masih menganggap UMNO sebagai 'khemah besar' untuk orang Melayu, di mana nilai terasnya adalah moderat, berhaluan tengah dan meraikan kepelbagaian.Namun begitu, beliau tidak bersetuju dengan manifestasi yang masih wujud selepas pemilihan parti."Saya tidak terima tawaran jawatan selepas kalah dalam pemilihan sebab saya perlu ada kebebasan untuk bersuara dalam parti. Biarlah ada kepelbagaian suara dalam UMNO. Ada yang label saya ‘liberal’ dan lain-lain. Tak penting. Yang penting ada suara yang berbeza di dalam parti," kata KJ mengakhiri tweet-nya.

UMNO sekarang berada di persimpangan jalan untuk memilih samada mengambil haluan kanan atau tengah. Ke kanan mungkin menang sorak sementara. Tetapi pasti lingkup 10-15 tahun lagi. Haluan tengah bukan mudah. Sukar difahami akar umbi. Tetapi itulah jalan yang ada untuk survive.— Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) July 12, 2018

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

In a viral Twitter thread reposted recently, a husband recounted how his wife managed to save over RM1,400 in cash by cleaning up after him

In the story posted by user @WZullnaidi, the husband shared how his wife collected RM1,424 in a jar placed next to the washing machine within a year.Every time she found any change in his clothes or pockets while doing the laundry, she would put the money into the jar.

Hari ini genap setahun Wife saya menabung hanya ditepi mesin Bash sahaja. Tadi saya pecahkan tabung dengan arahan wife. Setelah dkira Jumlah duit terkumpul adalah sebanyak RM1424. (Tidak termasuk duit syiling). pic.twitter.com/BGqockTBhE— Wan Zullnaidi (@WZullnaidi) December 1, 2021

After one year, the couple broke the jar open and were surprised to find the amount in it

"The tips to save money are easy. Buy a cheap moneybox that can't be opened and place it beside the washing machine," said the tweet."Secondly, every time you wash your partner's clothes, make sure to check their pockets and hope there's some leftover change."The story also suggests that you should inform your husband or wife that you are saving money and hope that they will support your habit by adding their own shopping change or leftover toll money into the jar.

In addition to change found in laundry, you are also encouraged to put aside bills or coins found elsewhere, such as the car, bedroom, or any other corner of the house

"Whatever you do, if you have change, put it into the jar and not automatically into your pockets," said the tweet.After some time, Wan Zullnaidi said you can break the jar open and find that all the loose change will become a substantial amount, which can be used to buy jewellery or be deposited in the bank.In the story, the wife donated 10% of the money she saved to a mosque.As the Malay proverb goes, "Sedikit-sedikit lama-lama menjadi bukit".

Saving money successfully with a piggy bank is no secret. A man in Klang recently saved up to RM5,000 to buy his wife an iPhone 13 Pro:

Perlis Gave Monthly Aid To Dead People & More Shocking Findings From 2016 AG Report

The Auditor-General's Report 2016 Series 1 was tabled in the parliament yesterday, 31 July.
It outlined 353 recommendations to help the federal government, federal statutory bodies, and state governments realign their priorities and rectify their mistakes.

Image via Kamles Kumar/Malay Mail Online

According to a report by Bernama, two of the recommendations were related to the Federal Government Financial Statement 2016, 90 were for the federal government ministry and department activities, and 244 pertained to financial management of state government departments, agencies, and companies. "As usual, the department heads concerned have been informed beforehand, for the purpose of confirmation," Auditor-General Tan Sri Dr Madinah Mohamad told Bernama.

A total of 25 ministries, 18 federal departments, 38 federal statutory bodies, 138 state ministries/departments, 41 state statutory bodies, 41 local authorities, and six Islamic Religious Councils were audited

63 performance audits were ran on government projects/activities/programmes and 21 management audits were conducted on government companies at federal and state levels. 187 out of the 307 ministries, federal departments and statutory bodies, state ministries/departments, state statutory bodies, local authorities, and Islamic Religious Councils received the 'excellence' (5-star) rating. "25 ministries achieved excellence compared to 16 in 2015," added Auditor-General Dr Madinah.

Here are nine highlights from the report:

1. The federal government incurred a deficit of RM38.4 billion in 2016

The ratio of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was at 3.12%. The deficit was financed by internal and external loans amounting to RM99.85 billion to repay existing debts, finance the Housing Loan Trust Fund and development expenditure. Federal ministries and departments spent a total of RM41.99 billion from the allocated amount of RM43 billion. According to the Series 1 of the 2016 Auditor General's Report, the final provision for operating expenditure in 2016 was RM212.3 billion. RM210.17 billion was spent from that amount. Overall, the report stated that the performance of the federal departments showed an improvement compared to the previous couple of years, with 16 rated as 'excellent' and the remaining two as 'good' in 2016, reported Bernama.

2. A 2,132-day delay in the Rawang bypass construction led to the cost bloating 208.7% to RM628.14 million

The 23km road project which started in July 2005, was initially supposed to be completed by January 2008 at the cost of RM203.47 million, stated a report by Malaysiakini. Soon after, the Extensions of Time (EOT) for 2,132 (five years, 10 months) was approved for the project, which led the contractor to claim losses and expenses amounting to RM7.88 million.Two contracts were signed in March 2009 and December 2011. In the first one, changes to the price of construction material were made. The contract cost was retained. The second contract saw the addition of several other works including a 3.3km alternative road through Taman Warisan, a 2.64 elevated structure, and the upgrading work of 1.57km to an existing federal road. In total, the additional works cost RM390 million. These additions were supposed to be completed 40 months from when the contract was signed in December 2011. Based on the latest EOT, the project should have been completed by 16 March 2017, however, only 97.15% was completed by 15 February. More factors that resulted in the increase of cost:- The design changes in the overlapping routes between elevated structures with the Assam Jawa Taman Rimba Highway (LATAR) led to an additional cost of RM34.2 million. - The delay in settling the compensation for land acquisition with a valid justification resulted in the payment of penalty which cost RM5.52 million. Rawang Bypass is part of the 9th Malaysia Plan which links the road network between Kuala Lumpur and Rawang.

3. The mistakes by the consultants involved in the construction of Phase Two of the obstetrics complex at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR), Klang, cost the government an extra RM17.2 million

Malay Mail Online (MMO) reported the Auditor-General as saying that the contractor, Pembinaan Sujaman Sdn. Bhd., was forced to apply for 36 variation orders and five measurement work which led to an additional cost of RM16.23 million and RM1.01 million, respectively. The AG report mentioned that the Public Works Department (PWD) also failed to supervise this construction project and take actions against the consultants. The mistakes by the consultants and PWD led to a 333-day delay and additional consultancy services which cost the government RM1 million. The second phase was meant to upgrade the obstetrics and neo-natal services, reduce patient congestion, and enhance existing infrastructure. The approved cost of the project was RM180 million, including the cost of medical equipment at RM30 million.

4. Rumah Iskandar Malaysia (RIM)'s failure to achieve its targets led to a loss of rental income at RM3.52 million

It was reported that the Prisma Harta Sdn Bhd (PHSB) was in charge of assisting its parent company, Iskandar Region Development Authority (IRDA) with the operation and maintenance of the the rental-based housing scheme,  Rumah Iskandar Malaysia (RIM) Project in Bandar Nusajaya, Johor. Specifically, PHSB was supposed to manage the rental of 1,500 RIM houses, ensuring that it is at an affordable rate to people from low and middle income groups. They were also supposed to manage the rental for 13 commercial units. PHSB did manage the rental of the RIM and commercial units well, but it did not meet its intended targets."For these three years, the rental of housing units recorded between 70.5% and 80.5% only, whereas the rental of commercial units was between 61.5% and 84.6%. The rental income for housing units in year 2013 was at the lowest of 72.8%," reported MMO."Based on the PHSB Rental Debtors Aging Report as of 31 December 2015, the arrears of housing and commercial rental for three months and above were high which was RM762,580 (64.1%) compared to the total arrears in rental debtors amounting to RM1.19 million," explained the report.PHSB has been asked to review the rental rates for the commercial units which is currently at RM3.08 and RM8.08 per square feet, as the average rental rate from the Valuation and Property Services Department Johor Bahru earlier this year states that the rate for the three areas near RIM (Taman Nusa Sentral, Taman Nusa Idaman, and Taman Nusantara) was only RM2.27 per square feet.

5. The National Entrepreneurial Group Economic Fund (Tekun) accumulated losses worth RM209.28 million as of 2015 due to debts

The losses incurred were mainly due to large amounts of debts to the government and bad debts written off by Tekun, reported New Straits Times (NST). The total amount of bad debts which were written off were RM410.61 million (9.6%) from total financing and collected repayments were only RM74.63 million (18.2%).The AG report also revealed that while Tekun's management was in line with the objective of the corporation, it was, however, not properly planned. "The corporate governance practices are also less than satisfactory," said the report. The audits conducted between May to October 2016 and February 2017 revealed that detailed studies were not carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of fund utilisation by entrepreneurs who are starting or expanding their businesses. "Failure in the implementation of Tekun Entrepreneurship Portal, Tekun Entrepreneur Community Card, and Cyber Mall resulted in losses of RM872,035 and members of the Audit, Integrity and Risk Committee did not have accounting background," read the report.

6. The Malaysian Immigration System (myIMMs) failed to blacklist deported immigrants

Calling the department's management of immigrant deportation as "less than satisfactory", the AG report said that their failure to blacklist the immigrants could result in them being able to return to Malaysia. NST also reported that the numbers of those deported registered in myIMMs differs with those recorded by the department's enforcement division. "The number of removed immigrants between myIMMs and the department’s enforcement division headquarters differed by 155,813. Furthermore, they were not blacklisted and updated into the suspects list in the system," read the report. The report also revealed problems with the contracts of the ferry service used to deport the immigrants. "Ferry service contracts were renewed four times with the same company from 2007 to 2017. Yet, there was no travel insurance coverage for the immigrants until 2015," said the report.The AG report also commented on the management of the depot services which was only described as "satisfactory". "The audit carried out between November last year and January this year also found that controlled documents in the deportation transit centre were poorly managed because they were handled by contractors."The appointed caterers also failed to provide meals according to specified menus in the contract and there was no quarantine room at the detention depot while others were poorly managed," explained the report. A total of 265,550 immigrants from various countries were deported between 2014 and 2016 and a majority of them were Indonesians, (75,580). It cost the government RM95.24 million for the detention and removal process.

7. The Perlis Social Welfare Department continued paying monthly aid to deceased people

According to Free Malaysia Today (FMT), the AG report stated that 32 deceased recipients who passed away in 2015 and 2016 received the welfare aid that totalled up to RM20,610. "This happened because the heirs did not inform (the department) about the deaths, and the department did not stop giving the payments even though the information could have been given through the myIDENTITY system," read the report. myIDENTITY is a government system that allows Malaysians to update their personal information details. The AG report has rated the record management and information on recipients as "not satisfactory" and it said that the information the department received on the personal details through myIDENTITY was not used immediately to stop the payments. It was reported that the Perlis welfare department had also given monthly aid to a foreigner with permanent residency status."The person was approved to receive general aid of RM100 per month on 14 November 2002. This happened because the department did not investigate properly when approving the aid application," explained the report. The general aid for Malaysians are given monthly to registered families whose income does not exceed the poverty line of RM830 per month. Single mothers, the disabled, and chronically ill patients are also entitled to receive this monthly aid but it is subject to terms and conditions. A family is usually given around RM100 to RM300 per month under this scheme. Other findings from the AG report on this matter include:- A single individual had received the same aid more than once.- Some recipients whose monthly incomes are above the poverty line were reportedly given the aid. - Some people who had shown proof of other people's identity card, claiming it as their own, were also given the monthly aid.

8. Two-thirds of the ministry offices in Malaysia do not follow proper management procedures

The AG report revealed that out of a surprise audit conducted at 265 government offices, only 72 of the offices were following proper official procedures. The remaining 193 (73%) of them have not been doing the same. Some of the procedures these offices have failed to follow are the management of payment receipts and the recording of certain stock items, reported MMO. The department heads had also reportedly failed to conduct frequent spot-checks to keep their staff in line.Meanwhile, the audit conducted at 148 offices of statutory bodies revealed that 109 (74%) of them were not following main procedures.

9. Penang does not owe the federal government any money

According to FMT, Selangor owes the federal government the least amount of money at only RM14.67 million in arrears. Contrary to that, Pahang owed the federal government the most amount of money compared to other states in Malaysia, at RM1.087 billion. This is followed by Kedah who owes the federal government RM1.028 billion in arrears. The report stated that both states did not pay back the government RM4.23 billion in loans. "The arrears in payment has increased by RM240 million, from RM3.99 billion in 2015 to RM4.23 billion last year," explained the report. It was reported that most of the loan arrears are related to water supply, low-cost housing, and state economic development projects.

KUALA LUMPUR: A bomb scare aboard an Indian budget carrier that was forced to land at the KL International Airport had disposal experts barging into a toilet where a cabin crew had spotted a mysterious package.

144 Passengers Were Evacuated From The Plane And 18 Officers In Hazmat Suits Were Dispatched To Investigate The Package

A cabin crew member of the IndiGo flight from Singapore to Chennai had spotted the package in the toilet of the aircraft and thought it could be chemicals or a bomb.
The crew decided to ground the airplane and all 144 passengers were evacuated upon landing at the KLIA at around 7.30am yesterday.

“We sent in 18 officers in hazmat suits to investigate the package. We handled the package carefully and slowly unwrapped the ragged cloth covering it ... only to find gold!” Mohd Sani said the gold bars each measured 5.1x15.2cm and weighed less than 1kg.

        thestar.com.my

"It was not chemicals. It was bars of gold stashed inside paper wrappings. It was a very weird find. We don't know where it came from or who brought it on board. Police are questioning the passengers now," Harul said.

        indiatimes.com

Police Believes It Could Be An Attempt To Smuggle Gold Into India

Sepang acting OCPD Deputy Supt Zaldino Zaludin said officers had questioned the cabin crew members and some passengers of the plane, before its flight resumed at around 2pm.
“We believe it was an attempt to smuggle the gold into India.

10 Things You Should NOT Do During Ramadan In Malaysia

Muslims around the world are celebrating the holiest month of the year beginning today. Over the next 30 days, we shall jaga our makan minum and kelakuan in our bid to get closer to Allah.

Image via imgur.com

But knowing it ain’t gonna be an easy task, I have taken the liberty to list down 10 things which I believe can help us get through Ramadan. Here are the 10 things you should not do during Ramadan:

1. DO NOT browse Ahmad Maslan’s cooking pictures or his recipes

Image via kinitv.com

Just a glimpse at his wok full of GST-free fried rice might be way too tempting, especially around lunchtime. Putting a ring of sliced cucumbers around it makes it even more irresistible.

2. DO NOT miss the chance to go for terawih prayers and be sure to double park along roadsides

Image via wordpress.com

If the road is wide enough, park triple pun lagi cantik!

3. DO NOT follow any news on Najib. Cursing and swearing can reduce pahala puasa.

Image via gempak.org

Read news on Bung Mukhtar and Ahmad Maslan instead – at least you will end up having a good laugh.

4. DO NOT watch the reruns of SEA Games, especially gymnastics and synchronised swimming

Image via The Malaysian Insider

And not forgetting their V shape might kurangkan your pahala and ‘naikkan’ something else. But don’t worry, if you think you cannot resist the temptation, you may wanna watch the show closely with crossed eyes – at least the V would appear as a W.

5. DO NOT prepare any meal for berbuka puasa, instead buy everything you need from the Ramadan bazaar

Image via boston.com

Try to get your own trolleys and make sure you buy everything in excess of what you in need. Remember, we need to pay as much GST as possible because our government could use some duit raya.

6. DO NOT walk around any neighbourhood with churches while fasting

The sight of a cross could burn your Bumiputera ego and melt your faith away.
Image via coconutsmedia.com

This is a very important message especially if you are living around Taman Medan.

7. DO NOT indulge on news about PAS, DAP and PKR

Perbuatan sia-sia and wasting time can reduce your pahala puasa.
Image via Malaysia-today.net

Instead, read on this extraordinary guy, Arul Kanda – just be sure not to imagine nasi 'Kanda' when doing so lah.

8. When berbuka, DO NOT go to any restaurants serving Church dippings, Temple sauces, Tokong Mayos and Gurdwara Mustards

Image via says.com

If you must, you could try going to restaurants serving Mosque belacans. That’s lebih afdal.

9. DO NOT post pictures on what you have prepared for juadah berbuka

Image via says.com

Seriously, no one cares what you’re having for buka puasa. But if you are itchy for it, try tweeting those pictures to our Twitter Lord instead, I am sure he would appreciate it – after all, he does love the limelight.

10. If you are a civil servant, DO NOT reduce your expenses for Ramadan

Image via mobypicture.com

In fact, spend lavishly – the government is always around to spoon feed you. Oh by the way – congratulations on your RM500 early duit raya as endorsed by Najib Razak recently. As the money came from our tax monies, I wish you a blessed Ramadan.

Family Of 11 Paralysed After Eating Deadly Pufferfish (PS: It's Deadlier Than Cyanide)

Eleven members of the Souza family, from Rio de Janerio, have been hospitalised after unwittingly cooking and eating a poisonous pufferfish for dinner. The fish was given to the family by a family friend who had recently returned from a sea fishing expedition.

In Japan, the pufferfish is considered a delicacy.
Image via bbcimg.co.uk

In an act of goodwill gone terribly wrong, an extremely poisonous variety of the pufferfish was given to the Souza family of Rio de Janeiro. The family proceeded to cook the delicacy, inviting extended family members to partake in the feast due to the “tasty” appearance of the dish.

        opposingviews.com

The group of neighbours, including four children, were hospitalised after they made a mistake while preparing the fish - one of the deadliest in the world. Within minutes all had become violently sick, according to Brazil's RJ TV news. Five have since left hospital.

        bbc.com

Cristiane Souza, whose 41-year-old husband Jose Augusto ate the fish, said she had called her extended family for what she thought would be a delicious fish feast on the evening of 22 October

Cristiane Souza, who said that the fish looked to tasty, they had invited the whole family, described to Brazil's RJ TV how her husband Jose Augusto lost all feeling shortly after taking the first bite. "My husband was the first to say he couldn't feel his tongue, then his face, and then his arms. Then his legs went dead and he couldn't stand up any more. It was terrifying."

        indiatimes.com

“My brother-in-law was the same. He didn’t even make it out the door. We had to carry them out and rush them to hospital in a car.”

        indiatimes.com

Grandmother Maria do Carmo said: “We had no idea it was a pufferfish. They’ll all in a critical condition. My grandson, my daughter and my son-in-law, they are all in hospital. We’re praying for a miracle.”

        huffingtonpost.co.uk

The creature, which contains a toxin more lethal than cyanide, must be expertly prepared to avoid poisoning

The pufferfish contains a toxin 1,200 times more lethal than cyanine, a drop of which can kill within 24 hours
Image via telegraph.co.uk

The doctor said one of the neighbours claimed to know how to cook it, but made a mistake in the preparation. Those affected included five members of two separate families - the De Souzas and the Da Silvas.

        bbc.com

Three of the Da Silva children were among those poisoned. The six others hospitalised were Adriana Fatima Santos, 34, Anderson Lucas, 31, Luciana Goncalves, 22, Maciel Rodrigues de Freitas, 29, and Cauan Goncalves, a child whose age was not known.

        bbc.com

On Friday, five of the family members were discharged from hospital, the BBC reported

Three are in intensive care and one of the children remains in a serious condition. Another adult and one of the children are reportedly in a stable condition.

Kantoi Jual Bayi Kembar Pada Harga RM15k Di Mudah, Pasangan Kekasih Ditangkap

Polis telah menangkap sepasang kekasih yang didakwa telah mengiklankan jualan anak kembar mereka sendiri di laman web Mudah

Image via Berita Harian

Memetik laporan Berita Harian, Ketua Polis Kuala Lumpur, Datuk Mazlan Lazim, berkata pasangan berkenaan ditahan di dua lokasi berasingan."Suspek berusia 20 tahun ditahan pada jam 8 malam di rumahnya di Setapak, manakala pasangannya yang berusia 18 tahun ditahan sejam kemudian di rumahnya di Ampang."Suspek dipercayai mengiklankan bayi kembar mereka yang berusia empat bulan untuk dijual dengan harga RM15,000 di sebuah laman web jual beli pada Jumaat lalu," katanya.

Namun begitu, tidak ada seorang pun yang menghubungi nombor telefon yang dimuat naik bersama iklan terbabit

Kedua-dua mereka telah dibebaskan dengan jaminan polis, manakala bayi kembar tersebut telah diserahkan kepada Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat.Siasatan dijalankan mengikut Seksyen 48 Akta Kanak-Kanak 2001 yang menetapkan mana-mana orang terbabit dalam pemerdagangan kanak-kanak, melakukan kesalahan yang boleh dihukum denda tidak lebih RM10,000 atau penjara sehingga lima tahun atau kedua-duanya jika sabit kesalahan.

Aktivis sosial dan kanak-kanak terkemuka, Syed Azmi menerusi Facebook memberitahu bahawa dia telah berhubung dengan wanita itu dalam tempoh tiga bulan yang lalu

Image via Syed Azmi/Facebook

"Saya kenal mereka kira-kira tiga bulan lalu kerana ingin tahu apa rancangan mereka dan bagaimana mereka boleh membesarkan bayi. Masih belum bernikah ketika itu."Nasib baik mereka tak berkahwin, kedua-dua mereka memang tidak mampu menjaga bayi, mereka meminta orang lain untuk jagakan. Selepas tiga keluarga, semua pun tak larat nak jaga kerana dua-dua bayi itu kerap menangis. Akhirnya, mereka menyiarkannya secara online untuk menjual mereka pada harga RM15,000," tulis Syed Azmi."Saya menjelaskan ibu bayi bahawa perbuatan itu salah, saya bertanya bagaimana dia meletakkan harga pada bayi. 'Main tekan-tekan kat handphone je'"Saya bertanya kepadanya, 'Sekarang beritahu saya, berapa harga awak?' Dia hanya diam," tulis Syed lagi.

Syed menjelaskan keluarga wanita itu sebelum ini cuba memberi bayi kembar itu kepada sesiapa yang berminat untuk menjadikan mereka anak angkat.
Tetapi...

... proses itu terhenti apabila ibunya tidak benarkan dan lebih mahukan wang Ringgit.Dia juga kecewa terhadap wanita itu yang bersikap tidak sopan dan biadap kepada ibu bapanya sendiri apabila mereka berbincang tentang apa yang perlu dilakukan dengan bayi kembar tersebut."Akhirnya, ada tiga pilihan yang kami cadangkan, iaitu untuk mencari keluarga angkat, hantarkan ke JKM atau ke OrphanCARE.

This Raya Video Depicts Touching Moments Of Malaysians Reuniting With Their Loved Ones

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Sime Darby Property.

As the saying goes, "A home is more than just a house". It's a place where we feel loved, cherished, and secure.

With Raya right around the corner, leading property developer Sime Darby Property wants to add joy to this time of year by celebrating together with Malaysians, especially those who can finally be home with loved ones during this festive season.

In keeping with their "Raya Yang Dinantikan" campaign, Sime Darby Property just released their Raya video that showcases various families reuniting after being apart due to the pandemic

This video depicts the story of various Malaysians of different backgrounds finally coming home. However, balik kampung is more than just a journey. It's the return to a place where loved ones welcome us with excitement and a warm embrace – it's the return home.   What sets Sime Darby Property's Raya video apart from others is that it highlights recent events such as the re-opening of the Singapore-Malaysian border, which tugged at our heartstrings due to the heartwarming reunions families had with one another. <3 Watch the full video here:

With travel restrictions gradually being lifted as the country transitions to an endemic phase, this festive season is sure to be exceptional, since everyone will be able to reunite with their loved ones

A flurry of Malaysians are making their way back to their homeland from all around the world. Excitement is rife in the air as everyone is just so happy and emotional at finally being able to see their friends and family once again. All over the news, we see our fellow Malaysians cheering in glee at the airport as they prepare to fly home, because everyone will be meeting familiar faces that they've missed so much.

The journey back home for Malaysians are sure to be emotional as well, especially knowing that their loved ones are eagerly awaiting their arrival

Be it reuniting with your children, parents, or spouses, that feeling of anticipation as you pass those familiar roads and reach your destination will become even stronger when making your way back home.

No feeling can compare to when you take the first step into your own house and embrace your family after what feels like an eternity

Image via Sime Darby Property (YouTube)

Undergoing a rush of emotions, seeing familiar faces greeting you must be so touching. So many nostalgic memories come pouring in, and you realise that your heart feels complete and whole again, because you've got everything you need right here with you, at home.

And once you're home, Raya festivities are made much more special when surrounded by friends and family

Image via Sime Darby Property (YouTube)

It really goes to show that celebrations mean the most when you're with your loved ones. Besides creating wonderful memories that will last a lifetime, you'll also be able to bond together, and make stronger connections with each other.

Ultimately, there's no place like home — it isn't just a structure that shields us from the elements; it's the people in it that welcome and love us through the ups and downs of life. <3

Understanding the importance of a home, Sime Darby Property wants to take this opportunity to give back to Malaysians who are looking to purchase a house of their own.When buying a home, it's important to consider your family's current lifestyle and how you can grow together with the home.

We Tried That Viral Filter That Makes You Look Like A Disney Character On 12 Famous People

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.Note: This story is for entertainment purposes only. Dun so serious, okay? :)

Ever wondered how everybody would look like if we lived in a Disney and Pixar world?

Image via CinemaBlend

Everybody would be so adorable with those huge sparkling eyes.

With the new 'Disney filter', everybody gets to be princes and princesses!

The filter can be found on Snapchat. Simply search 'Cartoon 3D' in the filter library. Here's one example of the filter being used to create their own version of a Pixar film:

everyone on TikTok is using a Snapchat filter to make their own Pixar film... pic.twitter.com/7jZV4lvSCC— Sophia Smith Galer (@sophiasgaler) June 14, 2021

To join the trend, we decided to apply the filter on several famous Malaysians we often see in media during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Without further ado, here are 12 Malaysians if they were a character in a Disney or Pixar film:

1. Muhyiddin Yassin

Image via Muhyiddin Yassin (Facebook)

We love how the hair and eyebrows are more defined when we put the filter on Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

2. Noor Hisham

Image via Bernama via Berita Harian

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah looks 10 times happier when he is a Disney prince.

3. Ismail Sabri

Image via Bernama via Harian Metro

The filter brings out the worry that is written all over Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob's face.

4. Khairy Jamaluddin

Image via UNRESERVED

Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has a lot on his mind even when he is living in a Pixar world.

5. Anwar Ibrahim

Image via Bernama via New Straits Times

Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim can't hear you better even with those animated ears.

6. Syed Saddiq

Image via Syed Saddiq

Suddenly, we don't want former youth and sports minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman to come near us. He looks like a villain in a Pixar film. :p

7. Hannah Yeoh

Image via Prestige Women

Former deputy women, family, and community development minister Hannah Yeoh looks like she has great vocals and is about to sing to attract all the birds and deer to her.

8. Tajuddin Abdul Rahman

Image via Malay Mail

Former Prasarana Malaysia chairman Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman does not look less confused in either of the versions.

9. Douglas Lim

Image via Douglas Lim (YouTube)

Comedian Douglas Lim's face shield parody has caused him to have a crooked nose as a Disney prince.

10. Uncle Roger

Image via mrnigelng (YouTube)

UK-based comedian Nigel Ng looks like American actress Awkwafina when we put the filter on him.

11. Neelofa

Image via Free Malaysia Today

The filter takes celebrity entrepreneur Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor's joy away. :(

12. Najib Razak

Former prime minister Datuk Sri Najib Razak looks like he will snatch the Super Ring from us and eat it in front of us to mock us. Sad. :(


Saiful Bukhari Who Is Running Against Anwar In PD Says "Felt Good" To Meet His Former Boss

In the Port Dickson by-election, PKR president-elect Anwar Ibrahim has an unexpected candidate running against him: Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, his former aide who accused him of sodomising

Anwar and Saiful shake hands at nomination centre.

Saiful, who is running against his former boss as an independent, is one of the seven people in the race for Port Dickson seat

He claims that he wants to move on from his past controversies with Anwar, adding that his decision to go against his former teacher was not motivated by revenge."It happened in the past. I believe justice has been served and he (Anwar) had served time," Saiful was quoted saying by NST Online outside the nomination centre at the Port Dickson Municipal Council hall earlier today, 29 September."My narrative is not about the case. I want to move forward."I do not want to talk about the past. The decision for me to contest is not because of a grudge against my former employer. It is not about vengeance," the former aide of Anwar said, adding that he is not "contesting for personal reasons".The 33-year-old also claimed that he is running against Anwar at his own accord and no one is behind him, saying he "will not raise anything about the sodomy case."

According to Saiful, both — Anwar and he — are mature enough to be cordial with one another and that it felt good to meet him

"It has been a long time (since we met). It feels good. We are mature enough in this new democratic era; we just said 'Hi'," Saiful said after he was officially named a candidate in the Port Dickson by-election, scheduled to be held on 13 October.When asked about the reason he chose to contest in Port Dickson instead of in previous by-elections if he was not personally motivated against Anwar, Saiful said: "Port Dickson is a good platform for young politicians to grow. There is nothing wrong with going against your former teacher."

Besides Saiful, meet another independent candidate, who although a supporter of Anwar Ibrahim and his family is running against him:

                Here's Why This Twitter-Famous PH Supporter Is Running Against Anwar In Port Dickson

Independent candidate Stevie Chan told SAYS that he has always been a supporter of Pakatan Harapan's reform agenda.

Redditors Ridicule The Cringeworthy Costumes In This Mini Disney Carnival In Kota Bharu

Grand Riverview Hotel in Kota Bharu is organising a "Mini Disney Carnival", photos of which were shared on image sharing site Imgur

Image via Imgur

Image via Imgur

The carnival is running from 15 December to 31 December. However, the costumes of the characters are so bad, Redditors on a subreddit /Malaysia have dubbed them "cringeworthy".

Image via Imgur

Image via imgur.com

Although, costumes are not the only questionable items at the carnival. For example, as one Redditor pointed out, if it's a Disney Carnival, what's Spongebob from Nickelodeon doing there?

Image via Imgur

And since when did Darth Vader start wielding a green lightsaber?

Image via Imgur

Although, it could be worse, as one Redditor noted:"What if he was holding the new, silly Kylo Ren lightsaber? Or ISMA forbid, a keris?"

Speaking of Star Wars, that's one cringy looking stormtrooper

Image via Imgur

"Couldn't they have enlisted the help of the 501st Legion to become the stormtroopers? They would be more than happy to replace that cringy looking stormtrooper," wrote another Redditor, to which another replied:"They probably don't even know the existence of the 501st Legion. Nevermind if they even HAVE a local chapter in Sin City Kota Bharu."

Commenting on how bad the whole thing is, one Redditor said:

A 19-Year-Old Who Hunts Endangered Animals And Posts Them On Facebook Sparks Outrage

This is Kendall Jones, a 19-year-old from Cleburne, Texas. Recently she's become a fairly well-known figure on Facebook for her controversial page.

Image via https://www.facebook.com/kendalltakeswild

Jones has been hunting big game in Africa since she was 13 years old, and when she's not hunting, she's a cheerleader for Texas Tech University

Jones and her camera boys Josh, Kieran and Mack in Zimbabwe!
Image via https://www.facebook.com/kendalltakeswild

Some of the photos on her Facebook page are pretty gruesome, most of them involving Jones posing over bodies of recently killed animals

Image via https://www.facebook.com/kendalltakeswild

At the time of publishing this story, she's gained over 26,000 Facebook fans on her page, and the number of Likes are growing by each second

Screengrab of Jones's Facebook page

A gallery of Jones posing with animals she has killed:

Image via https://www.facebook.com/kendalltakeswild

Many of the comments on her page are a mix of hunting fans and animal rights activists that discovered the page

Image via https://twitter.com/BESTCAMPINKENYA

Commenting on a photo of Jones holding up the head of a large lion, one user said, “How could anyone take the life of such a beautiful animal and SMILE?? I just don’t get it, it’s sick!”

        nypost.com

“Trophy hunting majestic and rare animals so you can get paid by the people who sponsor you is sick,” another user wrote.

        nydailynews.com

A hunter also gave his opinion, saying, “I’m a hunter and proud of that. That being said I eat what I shoot and only hunt overpopulated animals that other wise would starve or get diseased.”

        theblaze.com

Another disheartened Facebook user offered a more measured response: "No matter how you look at it, seeing people smiling over the dead body of such a majestic animal is just sad."

        washingtonpost.com

But Jones says she's a conservationist, and there's an argument to be made that she actually is

According to a 2007 study published in National Geographic, "trophy hunting can play an essential role in the conservation of African wildlife." Basically, since trophy hunters have to pay for the rights to shoot big game, there are financial incentives to maintain the land these animals live on.

        gawker.com

From National Geographic: In the 23 African countries that allow sport hunting, 18,500 tourists pay over $200 million a year to hunt lions, leopards, elephants, warthogs, water buffalo, impala, and rhinos. Private hunting operations in these countries control more than 540,000 square miles of land ... That's 22 percent more land than is protected by national parks.

        nationalgeographic.com

She has tried to make this argument herself, writing:

Image via https://www.facebook.com/kendalltakeswild

"How would farmers be able to afford monthly feed and vet bills (over $15,000 a month) if there was no value on the animals? Come on people think about these things."

        nydailynews.com

“The vet drew blood, took DNA samples, took body and head measurements… I felt very lucky to be part of such a great program and procedure that helps the White Rhino population through conservation,”

        gawker.com

However, Jones' comments about conservation haven't slowed down the amount of online backlash she's received, nor has it stopped animal lovers from making online petitions against her

Screenshot of an AWAAZ.org petition filed against her.
Image via SAYS.com

More than 50,000 people signed one online petition started in response to her page, demanding Facebook remove it.

        washingtonpost.com

Image via SAYS.com

Another petition, started by a South African citizen, was signed by more than 7,000 people, asking the South African government to ban Jones from the country.

        nydailynews.com

Jones' controversy hasn't been all negative feedback though. Jace Bauserman with Grandviewoutdoors.com came to her defense:

Image via grandviewoutdoors.com

Currently, Jones, 19, is being targeted by the anti-hunting crowd as being a ruthless killer and harming the ecosystem. The controversy started during the first week of June, when Jones started posting mobile uploads of her hunting adventures to Twitter and Facebook.

        grandviewoutdoors.com

Aside from support from countless hunters, the Sportsman Channel will be airing a show in 2015 featuring Jones and her amazing hunting adventures. Stay tuned.

        grandviewoutdoors.com

And as for Jones, she wrote on her Facebook page:

Image via https://www.facebook.com/kendalltakeswild

"I just want to THANK all of my supporters for their continued encouragement and backing! I will continue to hunt and spread the knowledge of hunting and wildlife conservation."
