"We Don't Owe You A Living" — F&B Service Worker Exposes Horrible Customer Behaviour

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

Whether service is a little slow, or your food isn't as hot as you anticipated for it to be, there's never a good enough reason to treat F&B workers badly

Opting for a career in hospitality, it is important to remember that all food and beverage (F&B) service workers deserve immense respect for their profession. While some hold on to the job out of absolute necessity, others have a genuine passion for providing satisfactory support to their customers. Nonetheless, it seems as though many individuals have not recognised this caveat.On 29 July, an anonymous Reddit user who goes by the screen name u/Inv1s1b1e, submitted a post to the subreddit r/Singapore, a dedicated platform for Singaporean stories and experiences. Apparently working in the kitchen of an F&B outlet for more than three years, the person goes on to divulge some of their experiences in this line of work.The user stated that they have heard all sorts of customer encounters from their service staff colleagues, which were utterly demoralising, and left them thinking, "Why do guests behave like that?"

From the outset, the anonymous user was forthright about their intentions, saying that the goal of the post is to share the side of the every day service worker, in hopes that people reading the thread will learn to empathise with them.

"It's not that we don't want to let you sit, so please don't insinuate that we are dumb or dislike you to refuse you entry"

Beginning their discussion, the user commented on the frequent problems they face with customers who make reservations, but come late without any warning or heads up on their anticipated delay."If you make a reservation at a busy restaurant (not cafe), and you are late even exceeding grace period, not picking up calls [or] answering texts, the table is going to someone else [who] walks in (without reservation). Please don't make a fuss and [treat] us like we owe you a living," the user stated. Continuing on, the confessor also stated that those who decide to walk in without a reservation and are told by the host that they're full, should understand that the empty tables around them are going to be used, "They are reserved for guests [who will be] coming [in about] 10 to 15 minutes."

The user also went on to say that customers should not be demanding if they're dining at low-end eateries, as they aren't paying for top-notch services

Commenting on certain customer requests, the user stated that if customers would like all their orders to be served at the same time, it can be done for most restaurants. Nonetheless, they also stated that guests should manage their expectations if they aren't eating at the grandest place in town."Your pasta is probably gonna arrive 15 minutes earlier than your baked mac and cheese in casual, low-end places. Service there may be different than most expensive places as these are the places entry-level [staff] usually work at. [It's] common to see people complaining about bad service there, but hey, you get what you pay for."Speaking on ordering certain cuts of meat, the user also stated, "If you order beef medium-well [or] well done, you WILL have [a] slightly longer waiting time than usual dishes, because, well, it takes a longer time to hit that temperature."

Further down, the anonymous confessor also stated that certain eatery rules are not decided by them, using serving water as an example."Some restaurants give tap water for free, some charge for it, some only have sparkling [or] still water. So if you say, 'What kind of restaurant doesn't serve ___?', kindly know that we don't make the rules, someone else does."

Among some of their biggest frustrations, the user also elaborated on how ludicrous it is for a group of 15 people to split a single bill by 15 credit cards

While the user admits that it's reasonable for smaller groups of say, four people, to want to split a single bill, it gets preposterous when larger packs want to mimic the same outcome."[If] your office group of 15 pax wants to split the bill, and 15 credit cards [come] out, just know [it's] gonna take LONG for service staff to split, [please] don't complain when [it happens]." Offering a solution to the issue, the writer stated that it would be easier for restauranteurs to bill one card, and have whoever paid the total amount receive their settled balance from the others later.A rather comedic contribution to the overall post, however, came when the user spoke on how their facial expressions are not an actual reflection of how they feel inside, "Some of us just have that 'resting b*tch face' and it's not that we dislike serving you, that's just how we look naturally, so please don't be rude to us unprovoked."

Concluding their overall statements, the user hopes that their confession will help some understand what F&B service workers face on a daily basis, and to treat them with kindness when being served.Initiating further conversation in the responder section, the user asked other F&B workers to add to their contributions, if they have any.

Since sharing the post, it has received a 95% upvoting percentile, and cumulated over 170 comments, ranging from fellow F&B workers, to everyday people

A slew of F&B providers shared their experiences working in the food industry. From describing a fussy customer who wanted a particular place to sit at, to an overall general statement that working as a server was not a pleasant experience, here are a couple of the most astonishing responses:

Image via Reddit

Image via Reddit

To plenty of people's surprise, one commenter affirmed the instance of splitting a single bill by many heads, recalling the time he encountered a group of 11, whom all pulled out their credit cards to split the bill 11 ways. What made the instance even worse was their eventual complaint to the restaurant for taking a long time to calculate the split, as they had a flight to catch.

Image via Reddit

Another user said that the inherent fact of being a service worker calls for this form of 'abuse', as in his own words. Explaining his perspective, the user stated that 'service' puts customers on a pedestal to treat the staff as lower than themselves. Concluding his statement, the commentator aptly said, "Basically, it brings out the ugliest side in the shittiest people."

Nonetheless, plenty of comments also flowed in uplifting the confessor and other service workers, thanking them for their hard work and dedication

One individual even went on to disclose that he makes it a point to arrive early at his reservations to ease the tasks of the servers. Adding to that, he stated that his father used to work as a waiter in the F&B industry all his life, therefore he understood the inherent issues faced by service workers with troublesome customers.

Berapa orang kita nak jemput. Macam kes aku, family aku kecil. Lepas tu mak cik-mak cik, nenek semua tak larat nak masak, memang kena ambil katering.Terus terang, dalam banyak perkara pasal majlis kahwin, katering paling aku risau, dok fikir mana nak cari duit wei. Ribu-ribu. Setakat makeup, pelamin semua tu aku tak risau, sebab aku pernah cakap kat suami. Takpe takda pelamin, takpe tak mekap, takpe takda baju cantik-cantik. Fikir nak cari duit makan je sekarang ni. Ada duit lebih boleh la tempah yang lain-lain tu. Alhamdulillah, rezeki. Akak katering bagi Rm10 jer untuk 1 pax, harga asal belas-belas ringgit. Dia tolong. Alhamdulillah, rezeki lagi.Nenek cakap tempah untuk 200 orang makan, kalau 150 je, nanti kang tak cukup. Dia kata baik lebih dari kurang.

(Gambar kat atas ni sekadar hiasan sebab tak jumpa cari mana gambar barang hantaran)Untuk barang hantaran, aku cakap kat suami nak cari barang sendiri. Dia cari barang dia. Aku beli barang masa tengah sale. Pasal barang hantaran ni sebenarnya bergantung pada individu. Kalau bajet besar, boleh la beli barang-barang branded. Macam aku, adalah 'seketul' dua barang branded yang aku beli. Tapi aku akan cover balik benda-benda tu semua dengan barang yang lagi murah. Set mandian aku beli Rm15 je. Dapat body lotion, scrub dan mandian. Boleh la cover harga handbag idaman.Macam buah-buahan, pulut kuning sepupu dan jiran sponsor. Jimat dah kan hehe. Alhamdulillah.Untuk goodies. Aku just beli surah yaasin 100 pcs, dapat harga 30 sen je satu. Sepanjang aku dok survey, tu paling murah dan cantik yang aku jumpa. Gula-gula makanan ringan sepupu aku sponsor. Tu pun tak sampai RM 100 pun. TOTAL ANGGARAN KASAR : RM 500

6. Kos baju pengantin

Image via Syazliah Fateha / Facebook

Dari awal-awal lagi memang aku dah set dalam kepala tak nak sewa baju. Bagi aku, baik beli sendiri, habis beratus pun baju tu tetap jadi milik kita. Takpe la baju tak grand, janji raya haji nanti aku boleh recycle balik pakai baju ni. Jimat bukan.Bila orang tanya tema majlis aku semua colour apa. Serius aku takda jawapan.  Masa cari baju pun aku tak tau nak colour apa. Sampai kedai, mana yang aku nampak cantik, ada saiz aku ambil je. Suami aku pun jenis tak kisah jugak.Nampak baju biru cair ni, tengok saiz 36. Ok cun! Aku try, suami pun cakap cantik. So aku terus beli. Jadi tema wedding aku biru cair. Baju ni, aku pakai untuk akad nikah sekali dengan sanding. Sengaja tak nak colour putih, takut nanti tak terpakai pulak. Kang pakai pergi jalan-jalan orang kata pengantin sesat mana ni.Baju suami beli kat Gene Martino, Rm100 je. Nasib baik jumpa cari baju yang colour sebijik macam baju aku. Sebab kat situ ada 100 cod color baju. Tudung yang aku pakai tu aku beli murah je, sandal pulak beli kat Vincci. Selesa la jugak even 3,4x aku jatuh.Baju : RM 229Tudung : RM 7.90Sandal : RM 109TOTAL : RM 345.90

7. Kos make up pengantin perempuan

Part ni aku suka. Siapa tak suka wei bila tengok muka sendiri lepas make up. Cantik. Sorry terperasan. Makeup ni yang cantik sebenarnya hehe. Muka aku rasa tak pakai apa-apa, ringan dan tak melekit. Syok wei, rasa nak suruh akak MUA makeup kan lagi hehe.Aku tak guna sebarang span atau tisu untuk lap peluh even akak MUA pesan suruh dap-dap kan muka dengan span basah bila peluh. Aku dah test dok tengah panas, make up langsung tak cair, terbaik sangat make up dengan akak comey lote ni.Aku minta MUA makeup kan aku untuk sanding terus. Sebab aku nikah pukul 11.00 pagi, kira lepas tu terus sanding. Jimat masa, jimat kos, jimat segala-galanya.Boleh jenguk FB : Eyla D'touchHARGA : RM250tak termasuk caj perjalanan

8. Majlis sambut menantu

Image via Syazliah Fateha / Facebook

Majlis sambut menantu lepas Asar. Boleh dikatakan semua benda settle dalam masa 1 hari. Untung kahwin dengan orang dekat ni.Baju majlis ni, aku pinjam baju sepupu. Tudung dan veil pun aku pakai tudung yang sama. Pukul 4.00 petang aku cuci makeup, solat zohor and makeup siap-siap sementara tunggu azan Asar.Makeup kali ni, mohon jangan kecam. Sebab aku makeup sendiri. Dah namanya penjual Bc Cream. Takkan tak nak promote kan? Meh laa beli dyxy dengan kita.Aku just calit-calit jer bc cream, guna brush ratakan. Lipstick yang aku pakai pon set dyxy cod Sexy Nude. Aku letak blusher Rm10 sikit kat pipi kasi pinkish-pinkish gitu. Ok tak? So untuk majlis sambut menantu aku tak perlu keluarkan duit 1 sen pun huhuhu.

Menurutnya, selama 2 tahun bertunang dengan pasangan hidupnya, duit tidak pernah cukup. Sehingga soalan yang ditabur oleh orang luar tentang bila majlis perkahwinan akan dijalankan tidak terputus.

Image via Syazliah Fateha / Facebook

Ingat. Setiap perkara yang baik-baik, insya Allah, segalanya akan dipermudahkan. Aku bertunang selama 2 tahun. Duit tak pernah cukup. Setiap kali orang tanya bila nak kahwin, jawapan aku 'takda duit macam mana nak kahwin'.Mac 2017, aku pakat dengan suami. Kahwin tahun ni. 22 Julai. Sama tarikh dengan hari lahir aku. Pasal duit tolak tepi. Kita dah pasang niat nak buat masa tu, hari tu, DIA akan tolong.Syukur. Semuanya berjalan lancar.

Ini merupakan tips yang terakhir untuk pasangan di luar sana yang ingin mendirikan rumahtangga tidak lama lagi:

1. Set dalam kepala jangan ikut atau dengar cakap orang. Even kau buat majlis grand kat hotel pun pasti orang mengata juga. Pilih ikut kemampuan!2. Jangan berhutang. Lepas kahwin banyak lagi duit yang nak diguna. Duit banyak tu, takat tu je la majlis kita. Sekali lagi, ABAIKAN CAKAP ORANG.3. 3-4 bulan sebelum tarikh kahwin dah boleh beli barang-barang kahwin. Beli awal tak rasa duit tu keluar laju macam air paip.4. Bila kau down, tengok duit makan tinggal seringgit sebab beli barang-barang kahwin. Pejam mata. Tenangkan hati. Takpe, Allah SWT tolong. Aku selalu pujuk hati macam tu.5. ABAIKAN MULUT ORANG.3 kali aku ulang 'abaikan mulut orang'. Kenapa? Sebab kalau kau jenis hati tisu memang lambat la majlis nak berlangsung. Kecuali duit memang dah kepok-kepok.

Experts Warn Against Eating This Octopus As Its Venom Can Kill A Person Within Minutes

Marine life experts in Thailand have issued the public a stern warning not to eat any blue-ringed octopus as one creature of its kind contains enough venom to kill 26 people within minutes

Thai Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) issued the warning after receiving a report from the public over the weekend that the blue-ringed octopus was being sold at a night market, reported Chiang Rai News.The cooked octopus was being sold alongside other seafood that had been grilled on wooden skewers.

Image via DMCR via The Phuket News

Chief of the Phuket Marine Biological Centre (PMBC) Kongkiat Kittiwatanawong said the octopus is not safe for consumption as its venom cannot be neutralised by cooking. He told The Phuket News that the venom has heat resistance up to 200ºC and that there is currently no blue-ringed octopus antivenom available.

Merely the size of a golf ball, the octopus' venom will first block nerve signals within minutes

Image via Healthline

According to Ocean Conservancy, people who come into contact with it will experience symptoms such as nausea, vision loss or blindness, and loss of senses and motor skills.Ultimately, the victims may die from a respiratory arrest due to muscle paralysis, as the venom incapacitates the muscles that are needed for breathing.China Press reported that first aid responders should ensure air enters into the victims' lungs by performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), before rushing them to the hospital to be connected to a ventilator.If the victims survive the venom, they will recover within 24 hours. Or else, they could suffer from prolonged hypoxia, which can lead to brain death.Hence, members of the public are advised against consuming the blue-ringed octopus as the chances of surviving the venom are very slim.

Image via DMCR via The Phuket News

It is said that the blue-ringed octopus can be found in seafood markets and restaurants, where the vendors aren't even aware that they are highly venomous

Based on the photos published on The Phuket News, the grilled blue-ringed octopuses are sold alongside other non-spotted octopuses as if they are the same species. They are even sold at the same price.

Image via DMCR via The Phuket News

The sea creature can be found in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea, while various scuba diving sites noted that the waters in Mabul, Sabah contain the said octopus as well.If one spots a blue-ringed octopus in the waters, research lecturer at the Excellence Centre for Biodiversity of Peninsular Thailand Dr Jaruwat Nabhitabhata said it is best not to disturb it.They are not aggressive and will often hide in a crater of rocks or in the seaweed when they encounter a large animal like a person.However, they will attack by biting once they feel threatened or are taken out of the water. Dr Jaruwat advised the public to not handle the creature with bare hands, keep them as a pet, nor eat them.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health (MOH) Malaysia has issued a ban on these products:

                MOH Bans These 9 Cosmetic Products Said To Contain Harmful Poisons

One of the brands also appears credible as they claim their products have been certified by the MOH themselves.

"Calls Every 10 Mins" - Activist Breaks Down At Growing List Of 1,500 Families In Need

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

Heidy Quah, the co-founder and director of Refuge For The Refugees (RFTR), recently took to Facebook to share the heartbreaking truth about families in need amid this pandemic

She wrote, "Broke down for the first time today in a long time.""Just over the past week, we've received pleas for help from over 1,500 families. Despite providing grocery packs to over 400 families this week and last, calls are still rolling in."

Co-founder and director of Refuge For The Refugees, Heidy Quah.

She says that the RFTR hotline has been buzzing over the past week with calls every 10 minutes and over 100 text messages in a day

"The voice notes being sent to us are absolutely heartbreaking. "Probably some of the hardest things to listen to and digest. Pictures of empty milk tins. Empty rice tongs. Small children. I cannot imagine having to beg and plead in such a way," Quah elaborated in her post.During a call with SAYS, Quah illustrated these struggles much further. She said, "Refugees and migrant workers who have lost their jobs and have zero income would reach out to RFTR. There are communication problems in terms of a language barrier, so we would receive photos of empty rice tongs, empty milk tins, just so they can really show how they have no food at all."She shared that in a recent case, a father of a sick child reached out to them, saying that he only had RM17 left. His child had been hospitalised since January after experiencing fits and high fever, but he had to pull the child out of the hospital after accumulating a RM6,000 bill."He didn't know what to do, he cannot go even go buy medicine with only RM17. Families are literally watching their children die because they cannot go to the hospital," Quah said. She then added that this was a common situation among those who reach out to RFTR for aid.Quah also said that although their NGO is focused on helping migrants and refugees, lately, they have also received calls from people in the B40 community."People are desperate and are trying to find absolutely anyone who is willing to help. We try to cater to them too," she noted.

Image via Refuge For The Refugees (Facebook)

The 19-person RFTR team is facing great challenges in trying to help these families in need

Quah elaborated and said that it has been very overwhelming for her and other volunteers. "The team isn't dealing with it very well," she admitted to SAYS when asked about how RFTR has been managing in these trying times."As first contact point for these people, when they reach out, it is often a lot to process, especially for those who feel very deeply. Besides that, time is short. How do we tell people to delay hunger? How do we tell people to wait for help? Usually, they only ask for food. They're just asking for rice, not even something like chicken because that's a privilege for most. The team is just trying really hard."She then explained that they usually send out aid in the form of grocery packs on Saturdays as they spend other days of the week compiling a list of beneficiaries, run background checks on the families, and respond to messages and calls. However, lately, there's been an increase in more urgent situations where families are left with no food at all and the team is forced to send out help on weekdays as well.Quah then added that the team they have now is much smaller than the team they usually work with prior to the Movement Control Order (MCO). She revealed that there aren't issues in getting volunteers, but getting permits for them and keeping their team safe while COVID-19 cases remain high are two of the biggest challenges RFTR are currently facing.

After her recent Facebook post, more donations have been rolling in and Quah expressed that her team is very grateful

The post has garnered over 700 shares and she said that more people have been reaching out to them, with some offering food and supplies as an alternative to monetary donations.She noted that they also meet challenges when accepting donations that are not in the form of money as the small team will have to manage logistics, and more often than not, these donations do not come in bulk. Therefore, monetary donations are the best form of help the team can receive.In her post, she highlighted that RM60 will be able to cover the cost of a pack of groceries for these families in need. Nonetheless, any little amount matters and will be put to good use.To donate, you can transfer money to their account:PERSATUAN KEBAJIKAN PERLINDUNGAN KANAK-KANAK PELARIAN8000499285 (CIMB Bank)

Video Bomba Kita Selamatkan Penyu Terjerat Pada Jaring Ini Viral, Media USA Pun Share!

Sebuah video memaparkan seekor penyu yang hampir mati kerana terjerat dalam jaring tapi diselamatkan anggota bomba telah tular di laman Twitter

Video berdurasi 3 minit itu telah dimuat naik oleh akaun The Dodo, iaitu sebuah laman media dari Amerika Syarikat yang menceritakan tentang kisah haiwan, khas untuk pencinta haiwan.

When he waddles back to the ocean  pic.twitter.com/HWhiqo5anO— The Dodo (@dodo) March 1, 2020

Dalam video itu dapat dilihat beberapa anggota bomba cuba sedaya upaya menyelamatkan penyu itu daripada terus terjerat dalam jaring. Masing-masing menggunakan gunting bagi membebaskan penyu terbabit daripada  jaring berkenaan.Meskipun ianya hanyalah seekor haiwan, namun dapat dilihat betapa hampanya wajah penyu itu pada awal video tersebut namun terus berubah kepada gembira setelah akhirnya bebas.Penyu itu kemudiannya dilepaskan ke dalam laut.

Menariknya, lokasi kejadian berkenaan adalah di tanah air bermakna anggota bomba yang terlibat adalah dari Jabatan Bomba Dan Penyelamat Malaysia!

The Dodo turut berkongsikan rakaman video sama di laman Facebook rasminya dengan caption, "Wira-wira menyelamatkan penyu laut ini daripada tejerat dalam jaring", yang telah mendapat lebih 12 ribu likes dalam masa hanya 40 minit setelah dimuat naik.

Heroes Cut Huge Sea Turtle Free From Fishing LinesWhen he waddles back to the ocean Posted by The Dodo on Tuesday, 25 February 2020

Buat yang tidak tahu, sebenarnya insiden ini telah berlaku pada 19 Januari tahun lalu di Taman Rekreasi Pantai Mersing, Johor

Seekor penyu seberat kira-kira 15 kilogram dipercayai tersangkut dalam jaring menjala ikan ketika berada di dalam laut sebelum dihanyutkan ke persisiran pantai.

Image via Twitter @dodo

Pegawai Operasi dari Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat Mersing, Pegawai Bomba Kanan II Anuar Hussine, berkata pihaknya menerima maklumat daripada orang awam berhubung kejadian. Susulan daripada itu sebuah jentera bersama enam anggota bomba telah bergegas ke lokasi kejadian.

Image via Twitter @dodo

“Setiba di lokasi kejadian, penyu itu didapati tidak dapat bergerak kerana tersangkut dalam jaring yang turut mempunyai sampah seperti plastik makanan dan bungkusan.

“Anggota bomba mengambil masa kira-kira tujuh minit bagi membantu melepaskan penyu itu daripada jaring dengan menggunakan gunting jenis ‘medical scissor’,” katanya kepada Berita Harian.

Difahamkan penyu bekenaan tidak mengalami sebarang kecederaan lalu dilepaskan di pantai berhampiran.

What Happens When Superman Is Given A GoPro? EPICNESS!

The Internet has a barrage of GoPro videos. Some people may use the versatile camera for thrilling stunts or seeing the world from their pet's point of view, but nobody does a GoPro video like the Man of Steel.

Image via YouTube

This video of Superman starts with him "finding" a GoPro camera. He reads "If found, return to Sam Gorski" on a note attached to the camera. Superman then straps the camera to his head and flies to Gorski’s home.

This is Superman flying to Sam's home in Metropolis

The video was created by a team out of LA who, armed with a personal RC drone, a GoPro camera, and fistfuls of crazy video editing talent, recreated a first person view of a day-in-the-life of ol’ Clark Kent himself

The video was created by using a quadcopter with a camera on it (instead of a machine gun) to fly around the city, even flying up to the height of some skyscrapers. One cool feature — apparently the drone has a GPS on it, so if it gets lost or your controller dies, it can fly itself back to where you launched it!

Be Aware If You Get Bitten Or Scratched By A Cat Because It Could Lead To Rabies

The public has been warned to not take cat bites lightly

The caution came from Perak Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) director Dr Fuziah Muhayat who said that a person might risk getting rabies if he or she was bitten or scratched by a cat. She explained that the transmission of the disease is not limited to dog bites. "People must seek immediate treatment at the nearest health centre if they have been bitten or scratched by a cat because they are at risk of infection," she told Bernama yesterday, 18 July.

What is rabies and how can a person be infected?

Rabies is a viral disease that could cause damage to the brain and spinal cord of all mammals.  A person infected with rabies may experience general weakness such as discomfort, fever, or headache, but will later display abnormal behaviour or has hallucinations as the disease progresses. Once the clinical symptoms are displayed, the disease is nearly always fatal.  The disease is most frequently transmitted from one being to another usually through the saliva from a disease carrier and most frequently spread through bites or scratches. According to World Health Organisation (WHO), dogs are the main source of human rabies deaths, contributing up to 99% of all rabies transmissions to humans. However, other animals such as cats and racoons could also be a disease carrier.

Fuziah's advice comes just a few days after a housewife from Kampung Menteri in Kuala Sepetang, Perak, was bitten by her pet cat

It was learned that Norhayati Abdul Hamid's cat suddenly bit her right fingers while she was cleaning a fish during the 11am incident on 16 July.The 41-year-old was told to immediately seek treatment as a precaution since there was an ongoing rabies outbreak in the area."I thought the bites were harmless until the officers from the DVS instructed me to get treatment because of the current rabies outbreak in the area. The officers also advised me and my family to be careful and not to roam outside the house," she was quoted as saying by Bernama.It was reported that Norhayati had received treatment at the Kuala Sepetang health clinic on the same day, and the results of the clinical checks showed no clinical symptoms of rabies. Nevertheless, the DVS said that the cat would be monitored for 14 days.

The Veterinary Services Depart ment (VSD) has stepped up its efforts to fight the ongoing rabies outbreak in the past week. It even declared the Perak sub-district as a 'rabies infection area'.

Earlier this month, two girls aged 11 and 12 years old were reportedly bitten by a rabid dog in Kuala Sepetang.  According to media reports, the girls have been admitted to the Taiping Hospital for further treatment and the duo are being closely monitored. Following the incident, Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir announced on Monday, 17 July, that a quarantine has been imposed on dogs at the Matang sub-district, which bars people from bringing dogs out of the zone."So far only one case has been reported but we are taking steps to contain it. Pet owners in this sub-district are not allowed to take their dogs out until further notice," he was quoted as saying by NST. The VSD has also initiated other control and preventive measures including, vaccinating all pets within a 1km radius of Kuala Sepetang and conducting an awareness campaign. TThe Star Online also reported today, 19 July, that 19 stray dogs infected with rabies were culled.

Besides Perak, Sarawak is also facing a rabies menace. These two young children were some of the victims of the recent rabies outbreak there:

Dr M Says: It Is Not Easy For Me To Go Against Najib, But I Have To

"Saying that the government is not doing too well and that we need a change of government, that is not sedition"

Tun M at answering questions from the floor at the Malaysian Social Media Week 2015.

“When you find a law is used for the wrong purpose, it becomes bad law,” Dr Mahathir said during a question and answer session at the Malaysian Social Media Week 2015.

        themalaymailonline.com

"The Sedition Act is to prevent people from incidents of hatred such as civil war, and to overthrow the government. But if you say the government is not doing well and should change the leader, that is not seditious," Dr Mahathir during a question and answer session at the Malaysia Social Media Week event in Kuala Lumpur today.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Despite his criticism of the use of the Sedition Act, Dr Mahathir today said that the blame does not lie with legislation but with those who enforce the law. He argued that every single law in the world is drafted to limit people’s freedom to do specific things, such as stealing. Dr Mahathir said a law is good when its use is limited to its intended purpose and those implicated are given the chance to defend themselves in a court of law.“Unfortunately there is a tendency to abuse (laws)... that’s the problem with all laws. If a law is used to keep yourself in power, then it is wrong,” he said.

Dr M says Najib has turned back the clock by employing British personnel to advise him on how to run the country

Image via Coffee Ticks

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak allegedly employed British personnel among his advisers known as the "fourth floor boys". According to former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Najib turned back the clock by bringing British personnel to advise the country's leaders."He began to recruit his own fourth floor boys plus a number of British personnel to advise him on how to run the country. They also used foreign consultants costing more than RM7 billion. We had achieved independence in 1957 and we got rid of British advisers. We did better without them. Najib did not seem to believe in the Malaysian capacity to develop the country," he said in his blog post.

Najib's surrendering to the opposition's pressures to abolish ISA resulted in increasing crime rates

Mahathir said Najib also gave in to opposition demands to abolish preventive detention laws such as the Internal Security Act 1960, which resulted in spiraling crime rates. This was followed by dolling out cash in form of BR1M and organising rallies to pat himself on the back."The organisers were instructed to gather 10,000 people. They were given food and allowances and were transported to the sites, where they were given placards to hold up with 'I love PM' written on them. A song 1M4U was composed and sung even at the national day parade," he said.Despite all the peagentry, Mahathir said BN still lost support from the Chinese and Malays. He said he had informed Najib that his strategy was flawed, but his views were ignored.

The former premier said Najib was told that the Chinese rejected his predecessor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi because of their dislike for the New Economic Policy. "To win them back Najib must ignore affirmative action and should be seen to be more supportive of the Chinese and Indians," he said. "He reduced places for bumiputeras in the government universities even though in the numerous private universities and twinned colleges, bumiputeras make up less than 10 percent. Bumiputera contactors and small business no longer had government favour. Most had to stop their businesses," he said."Without saying so in so many words he had adopted the 'Malaysian Malaysia' slogan of the opposition, only calling it '1Malaysia' instead," he added in his latest blog posting.

Najib established new agencies with non-civil servants to plan the development of Malaysia instead of listening to existing government units, leaving the services of civil servants unneeded

Image via Ong Kian Ming

According to Malaysiakini, like Abdullah in the past, Mahathir said Najib would rather listen to his advisers instead of established government agencies. He ignored the government planning units and set up a new agency to plan the development of the country. The agency was by non-civil servants with salaries that far exceeded the pay of civil servants which in turn caused civil servants to be unhappy. It also left their services not needed.Tun M is likely referring to the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu), which Najib established in 2009 in order to design his various "transformation programmes". Disgruntlement had led to many civil servants going against the government. "Some even joined the opposition after retirement and stood as candidates in elections," Tun M said.

On Najib and Rosmah's behaviour, "There are many things about his personal behaviour that I thought were not right. But I was prepared to overlook them, including he and his wife’s lavish lifestyle."

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad fired a new salvo at Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak on 10 April in a blog post, this time including mention of his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, "There are many things about his personal behaviour that I thought were not right. But I was prepared to overlook them, including he and his wife’s lavish lifestyle," the former prime minister wrote.

        themalaysianinsider.com

In an article in the New York Times which mentioned Rosmah's spending on jewellery and designer handbags. It noted that there were photos of Rosmah using at least nine different Birkin bags, which typically cost between US$9,000 and US$150,000 a piece. The article had invoices and other documents as proof of jewellery purchases for Rosmah and asked the Prime Minister's Office for a response according to The Malaysian Insider.

This is said in context of taking Najib to task again over unexplained missing funds from debt-ridden 1MDB, Dr Mahathir said in a blog post that he had been able to overlook some of Najib's "behaviour" until now. He has said,"I will explain about how he lost billions of ringgit in my next blog,"

14 April: "I was involved in making Najib the Prime Minister, and he is the son of Tun Razak. Tun Razak was my mentor. It's not easy for me to go against him, but when you do something wrong, I have to comment. And 1MDB is wrong."

“I have no agenda against Najib. My agenda is about this country. This country has been known as a country that has managed after independence to do better than the British. It’s what Najib did that is wrong.”

"Where is the money for 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB)? This is still unanswered."

"The fact is the whereabouts of the money was still unknown. Najib said the money is no longer in the Cayman Islands and has been brought back."The people are confused. If it is not in the Cayman Islands, where is it? Where did the money come from? Half of it was said to have been brought back and another half is now in Singapore."

        themalaysianinsider.com

"When I heard of the arrest of these reporters for saying something so-called seditious, I don't think it's the right way to use your power."

Dr Mahathir was referring to the arrest of five – one from The Edge Media Group's CEO and four others from TMI by police in late March for sedition."Of course, you can say it is not him, it is the police, but we don't want to become a police state," he said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"With regards to Altantuya, I am merely asking who gave Sirul (Azhar Umar) the order. I am not accusing Najib. Normally, the police or army won’t kill someone unless they are attacked or ordered to."

"If I was angry because of the crooked bridge, I would have called for Najib’s resignation before GE13. Instead, I campaigned for his victory."

×

"He was my hope after Pak Lah (Abdullah) resigned. He said he would build the bridge when he became the prime minister even if Singapore opposes to it. But he didn't do," claimed the former premier. Dr Mahathir said he was unhappy when Najib broke his promise and appeared to "kowtow" to Singapore for not proceeding with the project.But Dr Mahathir denied being angry with the Prime Minister for not building the crooked bridge linking Johor and Singapore, saying that he would not have campaigned for Najib’s victory in the 2013 general election (GE13).

"I feel that Najib is going to cause Umno to lose in the next election, believe me... The Umno that I led before was quite powerful, the Umno now is about money."

“If policies were not changed, if things were not done wrongly, today we would be a great country,” he said in an April 10 video interview. “By now, I think this country should already have become a developed country. I’m sure of that.”

Tun M also says Najib should step down to give Umno two years to recover before the next general election

"It has to be now because we still have two years to recover. If he doesn't go now, the Public Accounts Committee and others will be investigating the matter (1MDB) for the next two or three years and come GE, if he is still around, we will lose. "I think there will be a lot of trouble for everyone. And those who cover up, they will have to pay the price," he said, adding that there should be ‘two or three’ independent commissions to look into the matter.

Amid Death Threats, Syed Azmi Apologises For The Huge Uproar Caused By 'Touch A Dog' Event

Earlier today, 25 October, gentleman Syed Azmi Alhabsi profusely apologised not once, but twice for all the resulting controversy of the I Want To Touch A Dog event held last Sunday, 19 October

Syed Azmi Alhabshi today apologised for the uproar caused by his "I Want to Touch a Dog" event last Sunday, saying he did not intend to insult Muslims but only wanted educate society to overcome their fear of dogs.

        themalaysianinsider.com

During the press conference, Azmi explained that the event was mostly meant to help people get over their fear of dogs apart from teaching them how to help a dog in distress and how to interact with a dog in the context of Islam. He added, “The programme was only meant to educate people on how we could show more respect towards God’s creation, an animal that has been increasingly despised and inhumanely treated by society.”

        freemalaysiatoday.com

“With a sincere heart, my intention to organise this programme is because of Allah SWT and not to memesongkan (distort) the faith, change religious laws, make fun of ulamas (religious scholars) or encourage liberalism,” he told the media today.

        themalaymailonline.com

Azmi, reading from press statement, also admitted that there were weaknesses to the programme, and apologised for the trouble and insensitivities that the programme had caused, The Star reported

Admitting the “I want to touch a dog” programme had its fair share of shortcomings, he did however express his extreme sadness and regret that it had caused so much unease among Muslims.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

He also apologised to those who had attended the event who were now placed in a difficult position as they had come simply for educational purposes and not because they were rebelling against their religion.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

“Once again, I would like to apologise for any reaction this programme had caused. I would also like to say thank you for all the comments made to me. This is a learning process for me,” he said, adding he had no intention to cause disharmony.

        thestar.com.my

He also reiterated that it was only meant to be educational and not an attempt by him to suggest Muslims now keep dogs as pets

Image via therakyatpost.com

“I want to stress that in no way was the event promoting the idea of (Muslims) keeping dogs as pets. It is something we stated clearly on our social media page from September 11, 2014,” Syed Azmi clarified.

        therakyatpost.com

However, he left soon after, it is believed, due to threats that he was still receiving for organising the 'touch a dog' event

Soon after reading the statement, Syed Azmi left the press conference abruptly and did not take any questions from the floor. His lawyer, Syahredzan Johan said he had to leave for his own safety as he was getting "severe death threats" since the event was held last Sunday at Central Park in Bandar Utama.

        thestar.com.my

Before leaving, Azmi said that the Selangor Mufti Department had given its official guidelines on how a programme involving dogs could be safely carried out according to Islamic teachings

He said he had also received approvals from the Selangor Mufti Department, who had given the organisers guidelines on how to handle the canines. “During the event, the participants were also given detailed explanation on rules and regulations on how to handle dogs,” he said, adding that ‘sertu’ (the Islamic way of purifying after being in contact with dogs) was also explained to the participants.

The Health Minister emphasised that all the fines were valid and will not be revoked

This was in response to Wong's question if the government will cancel notices issued after 21 July due to confusion on whether the Emergency Ordinances were still effective."These fines are still in force as the Emergency Ordinance is still enforceable for a period of six months after it expired on 1 August 2021," Khairy said.He explained that the Emergency Ordinance (Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases) (Amendment) 2021, which gives legality to the issuance of these fines, is in force until 1 February 2022, or until the Ordinance is repealed by the Parliament."Therefore, there is no confusion as stated."


"5/5 Infinity Sh-t" – YouTuber Threatened With Legal Suit After Review Of 'Gadis Jolobu'

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

The producer of a local film is looking to take legal action against YouTuber Zhaf, owner of the channel Zhafvlog, who posted an honest bad review of the movie on Twitter

The content creator is known for his unhinged reviews and unique rating system of ranking movies from "5/5 Infinity Sh-t" to "5/5 Infinity Stars". Last Saturday, 6 August, he shared an honest critique of Gadis Jolobu, which was just released two days before, saying, "This movie is embarrassing the people of Negeri Sembilan," after rating it 5/5 Infinity Sh-t."The plot is a mess, and where is the humour?" he commented on the comedy film.He also sarcastically suggested the director of the movie quit making films as he felt scammed by the movie poster.He noted, "The poster looks good, but the movie was awful!"

GADIS JOBO - 5/5 INFINITY SHIT‘OSAH BANGANG EH’Buek malu orang nismilan yo, plot takdo, lawak takdo, apo? muzikal? Kepala ayah kau! Apo bingai bona director pilem ni? Nasihat den boronti yolah buek pilem, membazir duit sponsor yo! Gambar kemain lawa, cerito eh hauk!… pic.twitter.com/V1qNXKw9XQ— #ZHAFVLOG pengabdi setan (@zhafvlog) August 6, 2022

The movie has dirty jokes that could tarnish the reputation of the local film industry, said Zhaf in the same thread

He was disappointed that no one cared to call out the misconduct during the making of the film.In the tweet, he said, "The lewd scenes are humiliating. Was there really no one bothered to call this out?"

Many netizens agreed with his verdict on the local comedy film

A Twitter user commented on the trailer of the movie, saying, "Even the trailer is making me cringe."Another person questioned the LPF when they said, ironically, "Movies like this can pass the censorship board easily. Unlike foreign films that have to go through layers of censorship.""As someone who comes from Negeri Sembilan, I am embarrassed. But yes, they better stop producing movies like this," said another netizen.

Netizens also pointed out the similarity of the Gadis Jolobu poster with Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising."The poster of this movie reminds me of the Neighbors 2 movie," tweeted a user.

The tweets came to the movie producer's attention, who thought that his criticism was harsh and vulgar

According to Berita Harian, the co-founder and executive producer of Zebra Studio, Saraleana Nattaya Azmi, said that she and her lawyer had discussed taking legal action against the YouTuber.The producer questioned Zhaf's credibility, saying, "I don't even know who the YouTuber is. Does he have any qualifications to critique films?"She added that she might consider her critic's suggestions if he is qualified or knowledgeable in filmmaking."However, his choice of words doesn't reflect an educated person, so CL Hor (the film's director) and I have the right to protect the work we produced," she added.

Saraleana also denies the allegations of pornographic elements and plagiarism in the film

She said that the film does not contain any obscene scenes since it passed the LPF."It (the poster) is part of a creative process that has nothing to do with copyright," added the producer when addressing the similarity between the film's poster and the poster of Hollywood's Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.Saraleana also acknowledged that there are directors who take inspiration from other films and insisted that they are not plagiarising.

Last month, another content creator was threatened with getting sued by a restaurant owner for giving them a bad review:

What You Absolutely Shouldn't Do When Visiting A Foreign Country

Common sense goes a long way when it comes to learning a country's proper etiquette. But even the savviest, most observant travellers can make the occasional cultural stumble if they are not careful. To discover these unexpected missteps, Quora respondents weighed in with some of the worst mistakes to make abroad.
Sam Bruce, a co-founder of the travel site 'Much Better Adventures', grew up in Hong Kong, yet he did not realise until he was much older that in Hong Kong's corporate culture you should always hand over business cards with two hands.
"I had a rather awkward moment where I casually slid my name card face-down across the table to someone at the end of a meeting, when at the very same moment they delivered theirs, bowing, with both hands," he explained to BBC.
"What I had done was a big no-no and highly disrespectful."

Many Quora respondents from southeast Asian countries, such as Malaysia and Thailand, reminded readers to be careful where they touch another person

As tempting as it is, try not to tousle that hair

“Never touch anyone’s head or pass anything from above the head,” said Neha Kariyaniya, a resident of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. “It is considered to be the most sacred body part.” Such touch is inappropriate even in informal situations – and also applies to small children, as tempting as rubbing their hair might be for visitors from other cultures.

        quora.com

“This is also very true in Thailand where the head is considered the seat of the soul,” said Morrison. The belief stems primarily from Buddhism, the religion that informs the everyday life of many Thai.

In Russia, giving the wrong amount of an item can be worse than no present at all

Giving flowers as a gift? Make sure to count them up first
Image via bbci.co.uk

“Do not give an even numbers of flowers as a gift. That’s for dead folks,” said Muscovite Katherine Makhalova. “A proper bouquet will have one, three, five or seven flowers.” Odd numbers of flowers are given for happy occasions in Russia, while bouquets of two, four, six, 12 or 24 stems are often brought to funerals.

        quora.com

Even outside of Russia, knowing which digits are lucky – or unlucky – may be important

“Numbers matter more than you might think,” explained Terri Morrison, speaker and author of the Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands series of etiquette books.  “In China, the word for ‘four’ sounds very similar to the word for ‘death’, so it is a good idea to avoid giving anything in fours.”

Similarly, in Japan, the traditional wedding gift of cash should not be given in bills divisible by two: that signifies the marriage could end in divorce. A gift of 20,000 yen, for example, should be given with one 10,000 yen and two 5,000 yen notes – but not two bills of 10,000 yen.

Xu Beixi from Singapore put out an executive summary of what not to do in the country:

While in Singapore: Don't feed birds. They'll fine you. Don't spit. They'll fine you. Don't urinate in public. They'll fine you. Don't bring durians into enclosed areas. They'll fine you. Don't smoke in public. They'll fine you. Don't bring pets into public. They'll fine you. Don't eat or drink on public transport. They'll fine you. Don't litter. They'll fine you. Don't vandalize. They'll fine you. Then force you to go home to Switzerland. Don't bring flammable goods. They'll fine you. Don't take drugs. They'll fine you. Don't walk around naked in public. They'll review or even take away your prestigious scholarship. Then they'll fine you. Don't bring more than 15g of heroin here. They'll kill you. Same thing with making meth. Walter White won't last a week here.

Quora users from across Western Europe pleaded for visitors to avoid striking up conversations with strangers

The London Tube is for commuting, not conversing with strangers
Image via bbci.co.uk

“Don’t talk to a stranger, except about how bad something is or about the weather,” said Londoner Thomas Goodwin.

        quora.com

“Someone made eye contact with me on the Underground once,” joked fellow Londoner Paul Johnson. “Now they don’t have eyes.”

        quora.com

No talking on the Tube

Other British users also commented on this one, saying that while talking to strangers is not always a negative, it should absolutely be avoided when using the Underground, London’s metro. “Avoiding eye contact is the only way to preserve your sense of personal space,” said Londoner Shefaly Yogendra.

        quora.com

When it comes to humour, people in some countries warned visitors to roll with the punches

Yucatan resident Alejandro Suarez said Mexico is a place where visitors should feel accepted – not offended – if they are being insulted. “We'll mock, ridicule, insult, pick on and put down just for the fun of it, on a regular basis!” Suarez said. “The best and most warm family dinners are the ones where everyone is laughing their heads off at making fun of someone at the table.”

        quora.com

This kind of humour is fairly common across Latin American cultures, Morrison said. Still, she warned visitors to tread lightly when returning the jabs. “Jokes just do not translate well,” she said. “It’s best to avoid them.” One man she interviewed for her books bombed a business meeting when he told a joke in an elevator in Germany. Instead of coming across as funny, he came across as not being serious in a formal situation.

Woon Wei Kian, another Quora user from Malaysia, writes about dress code in Malaysia

Image via imgur.com

In general you are free to wear anything, just make sure you wear something! Be decently dressed if you are visiting places of worship e.g. mosques. The above image was taken from a website illustrating what to and not to wear when visiting a mosque in Turkey, but it applies equally to mosques in Malaysia.

        quora.com

Elsewhere, try not to wear something too indecent - too short a skirt or too low a dress will earn you an eyeful and quite possibly some unsolicited comments/verbal abuse. This does not apply in night clubs/spots.

        quora.com

Most Thai people are conservative. You should be extremely careful with everything concerned with the king and the religion, writes Pachara Yoosawat

Image via imgur.com

Dress appropriately when visiting temples. Do not wear shorts, short skirt, bikini, tank top, tube top, or any other inappropriate clothes. Do not say anything negative about the king of Thailand and the royal family. Most people love the king. If you say something bad about the king, people will hate you. You can also go to jail.

        quora.com

Do not assume that all women walking on streets are prostitutes. I got called once, totally NOT cool. Do not touch Thai women's bodies, or stay too close to them. Do not get into a taxi if the driver doesn't use the meter. Also, be careful when you catch a taxi, and always make sure that you know the direction.

        quora.com

Terri Morrison, speaker and author of the Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands series of etiquette books, said she was surprised that Quora users didn’t advise against speaking in elevated tones

Even lively conversations can be on the quieter side in restaurants in France
Image via bbci.co.uk

“A loud tone of voice, particularly in a one-on-one conversation, can be tactless in many cultures,” she said. “In France, it’s truly gauche.” She mentioned that the French use different volumes for different situations. “In a café, you cannot overhear a discussion at the nearest table, even if it is only two or three feet away,” she said. She recommended always mimicking your conversation partner’s volume and adjusting upwards only when needed.

Love Selfies? Nokia's Upcoming 'Superman' Might Be Perfect For You

Nokia Is Developing A 'Selfie' Focused Phone Codenamed 'Superman'

Nokia's new 'selfie' phone codenamed Superman
Image via cvcdn.com

According to the latest rumor, Nokia (well, Microsoft) will make taking selfies the focal point (sorry) of a future Lumia smartphone release.

        digitaltrends.com

However, if a new report is to be believed, Nokia might change this paradigm with its upcoming selfie focused Windows Phone device, believed to be dubbed Nokia 'Superman'.

        ndtv.com

This New Phone Will Reportedly Sport A 5 Megapixel Front Camera

Designed to sit in the existing Lumia range, the Nokia Superman upgrades the front-facing camera to a high resolution five-megapixel sensor capable of Full HD video recording and print-resolution stills.

        expertreviews.co.uk

Expected to be one of the first new phones to launch once Microsoft has fully integrated the handset maker into its business, according to sources that spoke to The Verge, the ‘Superman' is also reported to have a 4.7-inch display and mid-level specs. That should make it easy to hold with one hand for quick self-portraits and easy to afford too.

Nokia Isn't The First Company To Focus On A Selfie Phone With The New HTC One Already Having A 5MP Front Camera

HTC already has a selfie mode
Image via gizmag.com

Notably, the recently unveiled HTC One (M8) also packs a 5-megapixel front camera.

        ndtv.com

High megapixel selfie cams are nothing new. They’ve been around on phones sold in Asia for some time, but have only recently started to show up on mainstream hardware in the U.S. and Europe. The HTC One M8 already has a 5-megapixel camera above the screen, as does the Huawei Ascend P6 and Ascend G6, the Lenovo Vibe X, and even the Blu Life Pro.

        digitaltrends.com

The Phone Is Still In Development And Should Be Released Late This Year

Apparently, the phone is still in development, and has been held back due to support for the feature not being included in the first version of Windows Phone 8.1.

        digitaltrends.com

The Nokia 'Superman' is likely to be introduced with the second update at a later time.

        ndtv.com

As for a release date, don't expect to see the phone until at least July when the latest software update for Windows Phones has been released, and when it does arrive, it will have company. At least three other new Microsoft/Nokia handsets are expected to be unveiled before the end of 2014.

Microsoft is scheduled to conclude its acquisition of Nokia’s mobile handset unit at the end of this week, the company said. “Today we are excited to share that we have completed the steps necessary to finalise Microsoft’s acquisition of the Nokia Devices and Services business,” announced Microsoft’s Brad Smith, general counsel and executive vice president of the software giant’s Legal and Corporate Affairs department in a 21 April statement. Microsoft first announced that it was acquiring Nokia’s smartphone manufacturing operations on 2 September, 2013.

A 20-Year-Old Kepong Girl Wants To Marry Her 52-Year-Old Rapist

A 20-year-old woman is planning to marry a man, who is old enough to be her father and is her alleged rapist, reported The Star Online

As shocking as it may sound, but the 20-year-old, who is a food court worker, has actually refused to file a police report for rape against the man, who is 52-year-old.According to the father of the woman, the alleged rape happened in June.She met the 52-year-old man, who is a vegetable supplier, through work and over the period of time they both grew close and became friends.One day, the man, who is her father's age, brought the woman to his house in Kepong and forced himself on her after she refused his advances.While she told her parents of the rape, she refused to lodge a police report, with her family stating that she took pity on him as he has "multiple wives and children."

According to FMT, while the woman's family, who is against the marriage, lodged a police report on behalf of their daughter on 10 July, the police are unable to act against the man as the woman is above the legal age of consent and has refused to press charges

The family, especially the woman's father, is furious.The Star Online quoted him saying, "First rape then marriage? He sweet talked her into considering marriage with him. We are against it! The age gap is also too big. If they get married, is he going to call me father?"

The father had to take away her phone after he found out that she was messaging and calling her alleged rapist, reported The Star

Surprisingly, she even attempted to run away from their family home, the father said, who described his daughter as "an introvert and that this was her first relationship."

Just back in August this year, a rapist evaded conviction after he marred his underage victim under Islamic law:

                No Jail Time For Malaysian Rapist Who Married His 14-Year-Old Victim

The court stopped case proceedings after the alleged rapist submitted a marriage certificate.

'Lubuk' Emas Murah Ini Tawar Harga Lebih Rendah Sehingga 16% Berbanding Pasaran Biasa

Sejak tahun 1940-an, bandar ini memang terkenal sebagai 'lubuk' emas yang dijual dengan harga lebih murah sehingga 16% berbanding pasaran biasa

Image via Blog Jalan Raya Malaysia.

Bandar ini juga memiliki lapan buah kedai emas dijual dengan harga yang begitu rendah. Contohnya harga semasa emas 916 ialah RM193, namun kedai emas di bandar ini menawarkan harga di antara RM161 hingga RM163 segram sahaja.Bagi harga emas 999 pula ditawarkan dengan harga RM178 segram.

Pelanggan juga boleh menukar barangan kemas masing-masing yang sedia ada dengan barang kemas yang baharu dipaparkan di kedai emas tersebut dengan harga jauh lebih rendah

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Jutawanemas.com

Perkara yang menarik perhatian orang ramai adalah rekaan barang kemas yang dipaparkan dan dijual di setiap kedai emas di bandar ini adalah rekaan terkini dengan perbezaan harga sahaja.

Selain di Kuala Pilah, barangan kemas yang dijual di Muar, Johor dan Sungai Petani, Kedah juga adalah dengan harga yang murah antara RM20 hingga RM30 segram berbanding harga semasa

Menurut laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Harian Metro, faktor yang menyebabkan harga emas yang ditawarkan jauh lebih rendah berbanding harga pasaran semasa adalah kerana pemilik kedai emas di bandar ini tidak terikat dengan Persatuan Peniaga Emas Malaysia.Selain itu, mereka juga tidak perlu membayar sewa kerana premis tersebut adalah milik sendiri dan rata-rata pekerja pula diambil dari kalangan keluarga sendiri. Sebab itulah pelanggan sanggup datang dari jauh untuk membeli. Memang menguntungkan.

Seorang peniaga emas di bandar tersebut turut mengatakan bahawa dia menjual emas mengikut harga yang ditetapkan sendiri bagi menarik perhatian ramai pelanggan

Gambar sekadar hiasan.

Peniaga emas tersebut yang mahu dikenali sebagai Ng, 60, telah menyambung legasi perusahaan kedai emas keluarga sejak 100 tahun yang lalu mengatakan bahawa dia tidak kisah tentang harga emas rendah yang ditawarkan, asalkan tidak melanggar undang-undang.Ng juga berkata bahawa dia merupakan generasi ketiga yang telah mengusahakan perniagaan itu tanpa terikat dengan mana-mana persatuan berasaskan emas kerana dia mungkin akan dikenakan yuran keahlian untuk memasuki mana-mana persatuan.

			“Lebih baik macam ini untung rugi pun sendiri-sendiri. Premis pun kami tidak menyewa sebab itu boleh letak harga emas dan upah murah dari pasaran."
        Ng

Tambahan pula, setiap barang kemas yang dijual di kedainya diperoleh dari kilang di Pulau Pinang, Kuala Lumpur dan Johor. Malah, pada tahun 1999, kedai Ng pernah menawarkan harga paling rendah iaitu RM20 hingga RM25 segram. Oleh disebabkan itu, kedainya menerima kunjungan pelanggan yang sanggup datang dari jauh termasuk dari Kedah, Kelantan dan Johor sehingga kini.

Gadis Ini Kongsi 10 Perkara WAJIB Ada Dalam 'Checklist' Untuk Bercuti Ke Krabi, Thailand

Pemilihan lokasi untuk percutian tidak begitu sukar sebenarnya. Jika anda inginkan percutian yang relaks dan menenangkan minda, pulau adalah tempat yang sesuai.

Sama ada anda bercuti bersama keluarga atau rakan, pulau adalah lokasi yang membantu anda untuk lebih relaks dan enjoy percutian walaupun dalam masa yang singkat.Salah satu pulau yang sering menjadi tarikan ramai adalah Krabi, Thailand. Sejarah disebalik pulau ini sangat menarik untuk diketahui.

Image via The Crazy Tourist

Jika tertarik untuk berkunjung ke Krabi, baca 10 tips menarik ini untuk anda yang pertama kali menjejakkan kaki di sana:NOTA: Tips ini dikongsikan oleh seorang pengguna Twitter iaitu Maisarah Mahmud.

1. Sediakan segala keperluan untuk percutian di pulau

Ini adalah termasuk membawa sunscreen, cermin mata hitam, hat, tikar, waterproof bag for electronic devices dan sebagainya. My mistake I plan nak beli topi dekat Thailand but turn out awal pagi semua kedai tutup lagi  (disarankan untuk bawak dari Malaysia).

Image via Twitte @MaisarahMahmud

2. Tempat tinggal dan cara untuk tempah sebelum berangkat ke Krabi:

Stay at Ao Nang Beach (pergi trivago/agoda/booking search for Ao Nang Beach). Ao Nang Beach ni bersepah hotel & walking distance to halal food restaurant. Gambar ini yang I sempat tangkap dkat Ao Nang Beach:

Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

Hotel Aonang Silver Orchid, RM200/malam:

Hotel I stay kat Aonang Silver Orchid. Bilik dalam RM200 semalam. I rasa hotel ni best comfortable, halal breakfast, mountain view & etc cuma satu jeh masalah dia.Masalah hotel Silver Orchid ni distance dia ker Aonang Street about 1-2km (jalan dia narrow & gelap) so setiap kali nak keluar makan kena naik tuk tuk which will cost you about RM37 (pergi sahaja) so it will cost you a lot of money. Senang book hotel dkat Ao Nang Beach terus!Sebab turun jeh terus Ao Nang Street. So you save dkat transportation.

Pengangkutan Tuk Tuk.

3. Menginap di Ao Nang, bukan di Krabi

Stay dkat Ao Nang, bukan dekat Krabi. Krabi dia ada night market, satu mall & tak byak sgat attraction. Ao Nang bersepah halal restaurant, dkat dkat island, byak souvenir shops & really convenient. Ao Nang ada bersepah sunscreen & hada labo mini. Harga dia bahagi 8.

Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

Di Krabi ada Tesco Lotus dan ada Watsons yang jual brand CeraVe. Harga pun dalam RM23 sahaja.

Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

4. SimCard boleh beli di Airport atau 7Eleven

I beli dkat 7E telco dia truemove for tourist (3GB).

Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

5. Pulau di Krabi memang sering menjadi tarikan ramai.

Antaranya:

Island (Main Attraction) so orang pergi Krabi mostly sebab pulau dia mmg lawa. Antaranya adalah:1) Chicken Island.2) James Bond Island.3) Phi Phi Island.4) Hong Island & banyak lagi.Macam mana nak tahu package yg termurah? Pergi jalan dkat Ao Nnag Street (bersepah orang offer).Okay for my family, kitaorg plan nak pergi Phi Phi Island. Tapi masalahnya Phi Phi skrg Maya Bay dia ttup utk renovation so kalau pergi setakat boleh swimming & snorkelling so we decided to go to Hong Island (best decision ever made).Hong Island - kitaorg ambik speed boat package and harga seorang around RM120 :) my family ada 7 orang so total RM 840 sebab I family besar.

Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

Hong Island banyak sangat activity boleh buat - snorkelling, swimming in lagoon (dia berhenti boat tengah laut you terjun), kayak , swimming dgn ikan & etc sgat worth it. Especially if you dgn family or bawak adik/anak kecik.

6. Bawa tripod untuk tangkap gambar berkumpulan atau dengan keluarga. Lebih memudahkan!

Tolang laa bawak tripod or anything yg boleh stand your phone/camera. Kitaorg ada satu je family photo itu pun suruh orang ambik. Haha. Tolong bawak tripod for family or group photo!

Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

4. Boleh sewa speed boat dari long tail boat. Lebih selesa untuk keluarga.

[Optional] Kalau ada rezeki lebih, better sewa speed boat dari long tail boat. Selesa (especially for family), laju & best sangat duduk depan boat sebab long tail boat tak semua tempat dia boleh masuk.Boleh refer gambar di bawah untuk perbezaan long tail boat dan speed boat:

Long tail boat.

Speed boat.
Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

Cantik sangat Hong Lagoon & ambik gambar depan boat (recommended)!

Image via Twitter @MaisarahMahmud

8. Jangan lupa bawa tikar

Tolong laa bawak tikar (paling penting) letak dlm waterproof bag.Senang nak makan, nk letak barang & etc. Mak mak pun boleh duduk kalau tak nak swimming.

9. Pancake Ao Nang. Wajib rasa!

Dekat Krabi famous sebab pancake yg popular yg warna pink tuh Yaminlah pancake tak silap.

10. Untuk pembelian souvenir, nego sampai dapat yang murah

Kalau nak beli souvenir, bargain sampai jadi. Seller selalu tanya how much do you want?’how much?’ So I rasa bab ni you serahkan dkat perempuan.

Thank you, Krabi :)

[VIDEO] Penguins Use Aquarium Coronavirus Shut Down As Opportunity To Visit Their Friends

While the rest of the world is practising social distancing, a group of penguins decided to go on a little adventure

Image via Twitter @shedd_aquarium

Amidst coronavirus fears, Chicago's Shedd Aquarium closed its doors to outsiders much to the delight of their penguins, who decided it was time to explore places they wouldn't normally be allowed to visit. The aquarium shared videos of the penguins waddling about and they are too freaking adorable!

A curious rockhopper penguin named Wellington decided to spread his wings and meet new buddies, who seemed just as intrigued by his presence

Image via Twitter @shedd_aquarium

He was spotted observing fishes from the Amazon. Both of which would never meet on any other normal occasion in their natural habitat.Watch the video of him below:

Penguins in the Amazon?! Some of the penguins went on a field trip to meet other animals at Shedd. Wellington seemed most interested in the fishes in Amazon Rising! The black-barred silver dollars also seemed interested in their unusual visitor. pic.twitter.com/KgYWsp5VQD— Shedd Aquarium (@shedd_aquarium) March 15, 2020

Two penguins, Edward and Annie, were also seen waddling around the rest of the aquarium, as if on holiday before the nesting period begins

The adventure continues! This morning, Edward and Annie explored Shedd’s rotunda. They are a bonded pair of rockhopper penguins, which means they are together for nesting season. Springtime is nesting season for penguins at Shedd, and this year is no different! (1/3)  pic.twitter.com/VdxN3oQAfe— Shedd Aquarium (@shedd_aquarium) March 16, 2020

Penguins like Edward and Annie will begin to build their nests next week. Join us digitally for nesting coverage! In the meantime, we will be sharing lots of different animal updates (and yes, Wellington will return!)  (2/3) pic.twitter.com/eCYKOwdOMz— Shedd Aquarium (@shedd_aquarium) March 16, 2020

One video showed the pair tottering about near the information counter.

"Our caregivers are constantly providing new experiences for the animals to explore and express their natural behaviours with," the aquarium shared in a series of tweets on Tuesday, 17 March.

While this may be a strange time for us, these days feel normal for animals at Shedd. Our caregivers are constantly providing new experiences for the animals to explore and express their natural behaviors with. Let us know what penguin activities you would like to see! (3/3) pic.twitter.com/ftlow7iPHl— Shedd Aquarium (@shedd_aquarium) March 16, 2020

When asked if they could show more penguin escapades like this, Shedd Aquarium responded that their animal caretakers plan to have even more creative activities for the penguins and other animals now that there are no guests in the building.

Naturally, the penguins' little escape has made the Internet swoon
