MMA Urges Police To Stop Harassing Doctors For Participating In #BlackMonday Campaign

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

The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has urged the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) to stop harassing the doctors who participated in a solidarity campaign on Monday, 12 July

In a statement yesterday, 13 July, MMA president Datuk Dr Subramaniam Muniandy said that doctors who supported the 'Code Black' and 'Black Monday' campaigns organised by the association are currently being investigated by the police.He said that such investigations could be seen as a form of harassment and that MMA strongly condemns "the nature of this exercise targeting doctors who have supported our campaign championing the rights of healthcare workers in the country".Subramaniam stated that the doctors involved in the campaign still carried out their duties diligently while showing solidarity for their peers."Medical officers, like any other Malaysian, have the right to stand up, even at the very least by the show of colour," he said.

The 'Code Black' campaign ran from 1 to 12 July

The campaign asked senior doctors to change their social media profile pictures to black in solidarity with contract doctors who are scheduled to go on strike on 26 July.The 'Code Black' campaign culminated in a 'Black Monday', in which doctors posted their photos on social media wearing black to work and hold placards saying "We stand with Contract Healthcare Workers".The campaign sought to put pressure on the government to resolve longstanding issues raised by those in support of #HartalDoktorKontrak, which include job security for all doctors and allied healthcare workers.

Subramaniam added that the doctors are afraid and traumatised by the investigations

According to him, the association has many times reiterated that the 'Code Black' and 'Black Monday' campaigns have nothing to do with other similarly colour-coded campaigns."We have also briefed the Ministry of Health regarding our campaign and its demands in our last meeting," he said, adding that MMA is engaging independent legal advice over the matter and will provide all support and assistance needed in addressing the issue."We are in the midst of reaching out to the chairman of the Kuala Lumpur Bar for help and we will inform members of the outcome accordingly," he said.He also urged the doctors who have faced intimidation by the police to either inform their state Section Concerning House Officers, Medical Officers, and Specialists (SCHOMOS) representatives, or contact the MMA via email at [email protected], or by phone at 03-40411375.

Almost 2,000 Children And Teenagers In Malaysia Have Gone Missing In 2016 Alone

Deputy Home Minister Datuk Masir Kujat recently revealed that 1,803 children and teenagers were reported missing in the year 2016 alone

Image via New Straits Times

According to a report by Bernama yesterday, 15 November, out of 1,803, 979 were found while the remaining 824 are still missing. Masir said that the numbers had increased in 2016, compared to 2015, when 1,782 went missing. 1,563 were found and 219 are still missing. The numbers were even higher in 2014. A total of 2,015 children and teenagers were reported missing - 1,959 were found and 56 are still missing.

He said that the main cause of teenagers running away from home was to seek freedom, with 4,188 cases between 2013 and 2016

This was followed by running away from home to follow friends (1,330 cases), following lovers (1,025 cases), family misunderstandings (715 cases), lack of interest in studies (150 cases), employment (101 cases), custody disputes (64 cases), and lack of family attention (81 cases). Masir revealed these details when responding to a question by Dr Izani Husin (PAS-Pengkalan Chepa) who requested for the statistics on children and teenagers running away from home from 2013 until 2016. He said that the problem could be solved if parents kept a close watch on their children and forbade them from going out with strangers.

Stressing that parents should also monitor their children's social media usage and interactions on platforms such as Facebook, WeChat or WhatsApp, Masir explained that it's crucial for parents to steer their children away from unhealthy habits and instead emphasise on religious and moral education

It was also reported that in 2016, more female children and teenagers went missing (1,222) compared to males (581) under the age of 18. Here are the figures, in terms of race, from 2013 until 2016: - Malays (5,123) - Other races (1,245) - Indians (758) - Chinese (528)


Galaxy Note 8.0 Is Out. You Want?

Samsung Exec Confirms Galaxy Note 8

The internet has been quietly discussing the possibility of an 8-inch Galaxy Note for a while now, but nothing appeared at CES. However, it might\'ve just

        engadget.com

Jong-Kyun Shin, the president of Samsung's mobile business (pictured), told reporters attending a dinner in Seoul, Korea, that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 would be fully revealed at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, at the end of February, according to iNews24 and reported by Engadget. As the name implies, it'll be an 8-inch tablet, very close in size to the iPad mini (which sports a 7.9-inch screen) as opposed to the 7-inch size of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is an 8-inch tablet running on operating system Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and powered by 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos processor.

The internet has been quietly discussing the possibility of an 8-inch Galaxy Note for a while now, but nothing appeared at CES.

The long-rumored Galaxy Note 8 will launch at Mobile World Congress 2013, Samsung says.

        laptopmag.com

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, which was recently leaked, is expected to feature an 8-inch 1280×800p display, 1.6GHz quad-core processor, 5MP rear camera, 2GB RAM and Jelly Bean. It will be Samsung’s competitor to the iPad Mini and its upcoming successor. Similar to other Note devices, it will also sport S-Pen.

Image via androidos.in

The 8-inch Galaxy Note tablet we saw last week will be officially unveiled at Mobile World Congress, according to Korea's iNews24.

        theverge.com

According to some of the latest rumors, this 8-inch addition to the Galaxy Note tablet line will be displaying at 1200 x 800 resolution, feature a 5MP snapper around the back, and use 2GB of RAM. Reports on the CPU peg the tablet with either a quad-core Exynos 4 processor or an Exynos 5 Octa, the latest and greatest from Samsung that was revealed just a few weeks back during CES 2013. All in all it sounds like a decent tablet, but keep in mind that none of those internals have been confirmed by the company yet.

Based on previous details courtesy of the GLBenchmark filing, the Galaxy Note 8.0 is expected to debut with a 1280 x 800 display resolution, 2GB of RAM, microSD card slot, 4600 mAh battery

        androidcommunity.com

Measuring in at 8-inches, the Galaxy Note 8 will undoubtedly represent Samsung’s clearest effort to date to rival the likes of the Google Nexus 7, the iPad Mini and the Amazon Kindle Fire.

First we had benchmarks for the elusive Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet and now there’s a report that a key Samsung exec has confirmed the slate’s debut at Mobile World Congress.

IKEA Malaysia Has Replaced Its Signature Vanilla Ice Cream With Dairy-Free Soya Ice Cream

Ever gone to IKEA just for its iconic vanilla soft-serve ice cream?
If your answer is yes, you'll definitely have feelings about this announcement.

According to IKEA Malaysia's official Facebook page, the Swedish furniture giant has officially replaced the much-loved vanilla flavoured soft-serve with soya, which is 100% plant-based, dairy-free, and gluten-free.

Image via IKEA Malaysia/Facebook

Vegans, lactose intolerant people, and people with gluten allergies, rejoice!

IKEA Malaysia explained that the move is part of a bigger initiative towards "a more sustainable environment," which they plan to accomplish "one soya ice cream at a time"

According to a study conducted by Ripple, the carbon emission of dairy milk is nearly four times more than that of non-dairy milk.

Image via The Smart Local

IKEA announced its intentions to introduce a plant-based ice cream on Instagram in June."We're working closely with different suppliers to find the right taste and texture and are currently exploring three different alternatives, either based on oats, soy, or fruits," Range Manager at IKEA food services Gerry Dufresne told Vegan Food And Living.

Since the news broke, netizens have taken to social media to express their thoughts about the change.
Some were simply not having it.

Image via IKEA Malaysia/Facebook

A few social media users pointed out that the company should have introduced the soya flavour as an alternative to dairy, rather than replacing the vanilla option entirely.

Image via IKEA Malaysia/Facebook

However, others appreciated IKEA's inclusivity and are excited to finally enjoy its signature soft-serve ice cream

[VIDEO] Syrian Boy Runs Through Sniper Fire, Fakes His Death And Saves A Young Girl

UPDATE: It turns out, the whole video was a stunt, directed by a Norwegian director, to make people into believing it was real

                That 'Syrian Hero Boy' Video Was A Fake Short Film Made By A Norwegian Director

Read the full story

A YouTube video has emerged, purporting to show a young Syrian boy dodging a shower of bullets by faking his own death to rescue a young girl trapped in the middle of the shoot-out. In the video, the boy initially appears to be lying on the ground amidst gunfire.

Image via news.com.au

Seconds later, he is then seen getting up and running towards the burnt out shell of a car. As he runs, he is seemingly hit by sniper fire. He stumbles and collapses to the ground, apparently dead.

Image via westernjournalism.com

Then he gets up and keeps running, as bullets are flying, determined to make it to the car. He emerges with a terrified girl, who looks no older then 8, dressed in pink. Hand in hand, they run for their lives. Both of them appear to survive the ordeal.

Image via dailymail.co.uk

While it is not known where the footage was taken or what happened to either child after the incident, the video was posted by the anti-regime Shaam News Network. According to The WorldPost, activists from the media group distribute videos and photographs taken by Syrian citizen journalists.

Shaam News Network says on YouTube that the harrowing moment was captured in Syria, although it gives no details about where or when exactly. The dialect spoken in the clip, as well as the landscape, point to it taking place in Syria, though some have questioned whether the scene was staged. It is not clear from the video who is shooting at the children.

        huffingtonpost.com

While the authenticity of the video has not yet been independently verified, some reports suggest the events within it could have been staged, with doubts cast over the moment the boy appears to be shot

Charlie Winter, a researcher at counter-extremism think tank Quilliam, told The Independent there is no real way of knowing at this stage if the video is real. He said it is also difficult to ascertain if the shooters are government troops or militant fighters.

        independent.co.uk

He said: “It’s fast becoming something that people will refer to as a video that sums up the conflict in Syria. But at this stage, I would hesitate to say whether it is legitimate or not."

Malaysian Jailed In The US For Running A Brothel And Money Laundering Scheme

Three people, including a Malaysian, have been sentenced to jail in the US for operating a brothel that lured women to work as prostitutes

Image via Google via Daily Mail

A report by the Associated Press (AP) states that Chow Chan Kong from Malaysia, and two Chinese nationals, Gong Biyun and Huang Xiaohong, were convicted of running a brothel and sentenced to jail on Friday. The trio pleaded guilty in July 2017 to conspiring to operate an interstate prostitution ring based in Doraville, Georgia, involving money laundering. Chow, also known as Blake Wong, was sentenced to one year and nine months in jail while Gong got one year and three months. Huang was sentenced to two years and nine months in jail. She has also been ordered to forfeit a large home in Johns Creek, cash, high-end watches, and designer purses.

It was revealed that the trio was at the centre of the prostitution ring that had been operating out of an apartment complex for more than 10 years

US Attorney Byung J. "BJay" Pak,

The prosecutors said that Huang operated the brothel from a complex in Doraville from December 2005 through May 2017, while Chow and Gong conspired together by managing the day-to-day operations. "The defendants induced women of Asian descent to travel to Georgia from across the US, including California and New York, for work at the brothel as commercial sex workers. Huang advertised her business online and by word-of-mouth," read a press statement by the US' Department of Justice. Acccording to US Attorney Byung J. "BJay" Pak, the trio arranged for sex workers to travel to the brothel on commercial flights into Atlanta approximately every 10 days on a rotating basis.

The court was told that proceeds derived from the brothel had been laundered through Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank, and Metro City Bank

The prosecutors added that the operation of the brothel was being funded using the proceeds from the illegal business.The Attorney's Office added that Huang managed to launder more than USD150,000 in criminally derived proceeds during the conspiracy.

Following the sentencing by the court, the defendants' lawyers argued that their clients' offence were not as severe as prosecutors asserted

Chow's lawyer, Howard Manchel of Manchel, Wiggins & Kaye, reportedly said that the women involved were not coerced into working as sex workers. "The women were commercial sex workers (CSW) who were not working under any conditions that could be considered coercive, otherwise the sentences would have been significantly longer," Manchel said. "The women traveled to and from Atlanta on their own, pocketed their earnings and left to return to their homes in New York and Los Angeles. In the time the brothel was in existence, there were never any complaints to law enforcement or reasons for law enforcement to come calling.  I believe the clientele was entirely Asian, as were the employees and CSW," he added.

Lawyer R. Gary Spencer, who represented Gong, shared the same opinion as Manchel

"From what I know these women knew what was happening. This was not a circumstance where women were being coerced or tricked. "This was a garden variety whorehouse. I don't disbelieve for a minute that there is a serious human-trafficking problem in Atlanta, that women are being abused and exploited, but this was not it," he was quoted as saying by Daily Report.Chow, Huang, and Gong will all be turned over to immigration authorities for deportation upon completing their sentences.


Political Analyst Shares His Thoughts On Why BN Won The Melaka State Election

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

The Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition emerged victorious in Melaka's recent state election, which took place just last month

BN won 21 out of the 28 seats up for grabs, while Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) won five and two seats respectively.

According to political analyst Dr Ainul Adzellie Hasnul, this proves that the people want a stable government

When speaking to New Straits Times, he shared his opinion that Melaka residents chose BN due to the coalition's experience and history of good administration over the past 60 years.He said, "Barisan Nasional's theme, 'Kestabilan demi Kemakmuran' (stability for prosperity), is a strong message to voters, and its victory indicates that people are done with politicking."They want a stable government that can deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and boost economic recovery. BN also had a strong machinery. The result also showed that the people of Melaka are comfortable with BN."This is also as Perikatan Nasional does not bring continuity, while Pakatan Harapan's record showed that it failed to fulfil its promises during its 22-month administration."

He also attributed the victory in Melaka to the Keluarga Malaysia concept  introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob

Ainul said the concept showed that BN was inclusive and acceptable, and also went on to say that BN chief minister candidate Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali brought continuity to the state's plans."He laid out plans for Melaka that  gave a sense of stability and continuity to the people. Now, the state government needs a better economic solution. When Sulaiman was CM, BN delivered. So the Melaka people trusted it and voted for it again."PN is a new coalition, while PH needs to perform better. BN now has the  advantage as it has a two-thirds majority, and the prime minister being  from UMNO, actually is a bonus," shared Ainul.

Following the election results, netizens took to social media to show their confidence in BN

Ryanna Raof: "Tahniah Tok Leman. We hope you will see us as a family, help those in need, and do not turn a deaf ear to our problems. We have chosen you because we have trust in you. So, please prove this."Noraishah Kakchick: "Please continue to work for the rakyat. Do not waste the trust and confidence the rakyat have in you."Zukefly Ahmas: "Hope that this will happen (victory of BN) in other states as well. This is time to embrace a new spirit and fight for the people."H.J. Paying Rebin: "Melaka people have made the right decision. Wish that Melaka will continue to be prosperous."Raimah Jusoh: "Use the trust of Melaka people as best as possible. Next is to retain the power of federal government."Abd Hafiz Baharudin: "Please fulfil the manifesto and safeguard the people's wellbeing."

Additionally, UMNO vice-president Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid said, "A big thank you to the people of Melaka who supported BN. We see a dynamic move in politics after four years. The people are back to supporting UMNO and BN."

He was speaking  after officiating the opening of the Flight Simulation Centre belonging to the Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology (UniKL MIAT) on 22 November.

How To Properly Mark Your Ballot And 6 Other Legit Voting Must Do's Verified By BERSIH

As Malaysia's 14th General Election (GE14) draws closer, there has been a surge of information about the public voting process

Image via Mohd Azren Jamaludin/NST

Parties can begin campaigning after nomination day for candidates, which will be held on 28 April. Malaysian voters will then go to the polls to choose their government on 9 May, a date which has been declared a public holiday. As talks about election heightens ahead of polling day, there is apparently confusion among voters on the procedures of voting, particularly about the right method to cast the ballot as permitted by the Election Commission (EC). BERSIH 2.0 said that the influx of messages on social media, whether intentional or unintentional, have led to false information and misinformation.

The BERSIH 2.0 Steering Committee has since outlined several steps that voters need to know in order to ensure that their votes are safe

The electoral watchdog said in a press statement issued yesterday, 17 April, that voters need to know the following procedures that will take place on polling day:1. Make sure to bring your identity card (IC) to the polling station. Although carrying your voter record is not necessary, it could come in handy to bring a copy which can be obtained from the EC's website.2. Once you enter the polling station, the first clerk will call out your name and IC number and strike your name off the electoral roll.3. The second clerk will mark your finger with indelible ink.

			4. The third clerk will issue you two ballots papers (one for your parliamentary candidate and one for your State Legislative Council [DUN] candidate). Take note that voters in the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan, and Sarawak, will only receive one ballot paper for their Member of Parliament as there are no local council elections for Federal Territories and Sarawak has already conducted its state elections in 2016.The ballots received must be unmarked except for the stamp and serial number on the respective ballot papers. The serial number on the ballot paper is necessary to indicate how many ballot papers have been issued. Your vote is still a secret as the serial number of ballot paper cannot be noted down by any party to tally with the serial number on the electoral roll.5. To cast your ballot, you only need to mark your ballot to indicate your choice of candidate with an 'X'.

Image via BERSIH 2.0

BERSIH recommends marking with the common 'X' although it is not the only mark that can be constituted as a valid vote. In the last election, the EC reportedly said that other marks besides the 'X' are also accepted as long as it is made within a chosen candidate's column.6. Fold your ballot paper and drop it into the ballot box.7. If you believe you have made a mistake in marking your ballot, you may request a replacement ballot from the EC officer in charge of your stream (saluran).

Elaborating further on the acceptable ways of marking a ballot paper, BERSIH said that they found that there are up to 39 valid methods which are recognised by the EC

Image via Free Malaysia Today

According to BERSIH 2.0 steering committee member Mandeep Singh, there are more than 30 ways to mark a ballot paper that will constitute as proper voting and counted as a valid vote, as per the EC's guideline. However, the information is not as accessible to the public."The information isn’t available on their website. We only got this when we attended the PACA (polling and counting agents) training at the EC."Only those who attended the training by EC have this information," said Mandeep, as reported by Free Malaysia Today.The EC's voting guide is now available for public viewing after it was uploaded to BERSIH's official website.

Thailand's Maya Bay Made Famous By A Leonardo DiCaprio Film Has Been Closed Indefinitely

Maya Bay, a beach in Thailand that was featured in a Leonardo DiCaprio film, will remain closed indefinitely to help it recover from hordes of tourists

Image via Daily Express

In June, Maya Bay was temporarily closed for four to five months in order to salvage the area's coral reefs. The environment was reportedly damaged by pollution and thousands of travellers who visited the bay daily.

However, Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation announced yesterday, 2 October, that the closure will be extended because the damage is worse than they initially thought

"We have evaluated each month and found out that the ecological system was seriously destroyed from tourism of up to 5,000 people daily," said Songtam Suksawang, director of the National Parks office, reported The Guardian.Songtam told Reuters that the four-month closure was not enough, adding that the environment probably needs a year or more for it to recover.

Image via Thaiger

The bay has grown in popularity since 2000, when Leonardo DiCaprio's 'The Beach' was released

Maya Bay, where scenes from the film were shot at, has since become one of Thailand's most visited tourist spots, attracting millions of people annually. As a result, pollution from boats, litter, and sunscreen has damaged more than 80% of the island's coral life, reported The Guardian.

According to the news site, a royal gazette published on 1 October by Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation stated that the tourism ban will only be removed once the ecosystem "fully recovers to a normal situation".

Meanwhile, Malaysia's Cabinet Minister Yeo Bee Yin aims to turn the country into a zero single-use plastic free nation:

                By 2030, Yeo Bee Yin Wants Malaysia To Be A Zero Single-Use Plastic Nation

A road map will be released next month to achieve this goal.

Malaysia's Affordable Public Transportation Will Not Be So Cheap Anymore

The Land Public Transportation Commission Has Okayed A Move To Increase Public Transportation Fares

The Land Public Transportation Commission Has Okayed A Move To Increase Public Transportation Fares
Image via blogspot.com

The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) has recommended a rise in public transport charges nationwide. SPAD chairman Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Albar said the recommendation was based on a study it had made, following requests from industry players.

        thestar.com.my

The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) has recommended that the Transport Ministry increase public transport charges nationwide. A national daily reported that SPAD chairman Syed Hamid Albar said the decision was now in the ministry’s hands after launching Johor’s first Safe and Responsible Truckers Day.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Bus And Taxi Operators Has Been Asking For An Increase In Fares By 30% To 40%. The Last Fare Hike Was Implemented In 2008.

Bus And Taxi Operators Has Been Asking For An Increase In Fares By 30% To 40%. The Last Fare Hike Was Done In 2008.
Image via cbt.com.my

Bus and taxi operators had appealed to the government to allow them to raise their fares by up to 30% to 40%, a request they said was justified as operational costs had increased but their fare had not been changed since 2008. Syed Hamid said that the commission sympathised with the operators and agreed that the increase was justified due to rising operational costs.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

“The approval to revise the fares is in the ministry’s hands,” he told a press conference after launching Johor’s first Safe and Responsible Truckers Day here yesterday. Syed Hamid said a rise in fares was justified. He added that the commission was sympathetic towards the difficulties faced by the relevant companies as a result of the increase in operational costs.“We understand their plight and also agree that there is a need for an increase in fares, including for taxis ferrying passengers into Singapore.”

He said that the recommendation included taxis ferrying passengers to Singapore as it was reported earlier that over 200 such taxi drivers were expected to face losses following toll hikes at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex and the Woodlands checkpoint in Singapore. On this matter, Syed Hamid urged the relevant parties, in particular the Johor Baru-Singapore Taxi Association, to be patient as the fare increase would require the consent of the Singapore government.

Syed Hamid urged the companies, especially the Johor Baru-Singapore Taxi Association to be patient, as an increase in such fares would also require the cooperation of the Singapore Government. It was earlier reported that over 200 taxi drivers who ferry passengers into Singapore were expected to face losses following toll hikes at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex and the Woodlands checkpoint.

Reacting To The News Of A Possible Fare Increase, Many Consumer Groups Are Outraged As The Service Provided Is Not Up To Par

Reacting To The News Of A Possible Fare Increase, Many Consumer Groups Are Outraged As The Service Provided Is Not Up To Par

Consumer groups are up in arms over the Land Public Transport Commission’s (SPAD) proposal for a nationwide increase in public transport fares. Fomca supreme council member Ahmad Othman said a fare increase plus the Goods and Services Tax (GST) to be imposed in April next year will be a “double whammy” for lower income commuters who rely on public transport.

        thestar.com.my

Ahmad, who is also president of the Consumers Protection Association of Kelantan, said it was unfair to raise fares without improving the reach, frequency and quality of bus services. “Service is a problem not just in the big cities but also in parts of Kelantan where commuters have to sometimes wait for two hours for a bus to get from one town to another,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

“Any increase in fares must be properly justified and it must be fair to consumers,” said Nadzim. He said a rise in public transport fares could also trigger a rise in prices of other goods and services in a “domino effect”.

On another matter, Syed Hamid said foreigners should not be allowed to tap into the transportation industry despite the shortage of lorry and bus drivers. “If such jobs were offered to foreigners, it will not only reduce job opportunities for locals, but also invite unwanted social problems in the country.

        thestar.com.my

On another matter, Syed Hamid disapproved the use of foreign labour to counter the shortage of lorry and bus drivers as this would reduce the jobs available to locals and “invite unwanted social problems into the country”. He added, “As it is now, we have over three million illegal foreign workers and I think we should not contribute to an increase in this figure.”

A Man Would Have Lost His Valuable Belongings If It Wasn't For This Honest Cop

A man lost his bag recently when he was out and about in Cheras

It happened at about 4pm on Tuesday, 9 May, when Ahmad Shalaby Ibrahim was at Wisma CKE in Cheras with his wife to buy some goods for his office. After they were done shopping, the couple took the goods to the parking lot, accompanied by a salesman named Yap, to transport those items to Ahmad Shalaby's car.  "I then put my clutch bag on my four-wheel drive's bumper because I needed to open up the car's cabin at the back. When I was done, I covered up the load with a luggage cover and closed the cabin, saying thank you to Yap for assisting me," Ahmad Shalaby wrote on Facebook.

Ahmad Shalaby had forgotten about his bag and only realised it later, when he was already on his way to Kajang

"When I was passing by Cheras Leisure Mall, I suddenly remembered something. My heart began pounding. Ya Allah, I've forgotten something."  Ahmad Shalaby asked his wife to immediately call up Yap's office and let the man know that he had left something there, asking Yap to help him look around the parking area for it. His heart sank when Yap called back about three minutes later to say that he did not manage to find the bag that Ahmad Shalaby was looking for. Still, Ahmad Shalaby made his way back to Wisma CKE and traffic was building. "When I reached Wisma CKE, I went around asking people if they've seen the item. Everyone said, 'No'. My heart became anxious, but I just surrendered to Him while praying that the bag will be found by those who are honest."

Ahmad Shalaby almost gave up all hope of recovering his missing belongings until suddenly he thought of calling up his phone

"It was only when I reached in front of Plaza Phoenix (now known as Cheras Sentral) when I thought of using my wife's phone to call up mine." "My wife then made the phone call. Thankfully, a man picked up the call and said that he is a traffic police officer." A traffic police officer known as Corporal Rizal from the Jalan Bandar Traffic Police Station in Kuala Lumpur found his belongings and they were safe with him. Ahmad Shalaby was extremely relieved and grateful. He told Corporal Rizal that he will make his way to Kuala Lumpur after 6pm. Meanwhile, he made his way back to his office in Kajang Perdana.

When he was on the way to the town with his wife later that day, Ahmad Shalaby gave Corporal Rizal a call to tell him that they were on their way. However, the policeman asked them to wait as he was coming over to them instead.

"After waiting for about 15 minutes, Corporal Rizal finally arrived in his raincoat. He looked like he was drenched in water as he braved the rainy weather and traffic congestion as everyone was heading home during rush hour," Ahmad Shalaby said.  He thanked Corporal Rizal for his honesty and for going to great lengths just to return the bag to its owner.  "There are still honest people like him. If other people have stumbled upon the item, I'm not sure if they would be as honest as him.""I gave him a little reward but he refused and repeatedly rejected my offer. I then told him to accept it as a charity from me and that this was Allah's rezeki (providence) for him today.""Great job, Corporal Rizal, for setting a good example for the rest of the members of PDRM (The Royal Malaysia Police). There's nothing else that I can say except, 'Thank you'."

It's definitely good to know that there are many Malaysians out there like Corporal Rizal who've inspired the nation to do good:

Raja Permaisuri Agong Kini Tweet Dalam Tulisan Jawi. Ajak Semua Orang Buat Perkara Sama!

Ingatkah lagi anda dengan surat khabar jawi satu ketika dahulu?

Oleh kerana kurang mendapat sambutan maka surat khabar jawi terpaksa dihentikan percetakannya. Sejak itu, jarang sekali dapat kita lihat tulisan jawi di mana-mana. Kini, tulisan jawi kembali menjadi perbualan apabila ada cadangan supaya ia dimasukkan dalam silibus pembelajaran pelajar. Tidak banyak, hanya tiga muka surat sahaja di dalam buku teks.Bagaimanapun, ada yang melahirkan rasa kurang senang dengan cadangan tersebut.

Bermula 28 Disember lalu, baginda mengumumkan akan menulis sepenuhnya dalam tulisan jawi dalam usaha memartabatkan tulisan tersebut.

Sam Ke Ting Files Appeal Against Conviction & Sentencing In The 'Basikal Lajak' Case

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

27-year-old Sam Ke Ting, whom the Johor Bahru High Court on Wednesday, 13 April sentenced to six years in jail for the death of eight teenagers, has gone to the Court of Appeal to set aside the decision

According to her lawyer Muhammad Faizal Mokhtar, Sam has filed an appeal against the High Court's conviction, the six-year jail sentence, and the fine of RM6,000 slapped on her, reported Malay Mail.The High Court found Sam, who worked as a clerk, guilty under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) for causing death by reckless driving when she rammed into a group of teens riding modified bicycles ('basikal lajak') on Jalan Lingkaran Dalam, Johor Bahru at 3.30am, 18 February 2017.In his judgement yesterday, Judge Abu Bakar overturned the Johor Bahru Magistrate Siti Hajar Ali's ruling to acquit Sam in October last year. Judge Abu Bakar also ruled that the Magistrate's Court had erred in not ruling on the 27-year-old's defence that she did not see the teenagers in the dark.Sam, 22 at the time of the incident, was driving at 44.5km/h or 75.8km/h on the far left lane at the accident scene. Her testimony matched with a study conducted by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety (MIROS).Sam's layer today said that they have filed an application seeking leave to appeal from the Court of Appeal and that they have also filed a certificate of urgency to expedite the hearing of the matter.

While expressing gratitude for all the support shown to Sam, her lawyer explained that the two applications are needed to obtain leave to appeal and to stay the execution of the 27-year-old's sentence

The case initially originated at the Magistrate's Court, where she was acquitted twice.However, with the High Court overturning her acquittal, Sam now first needs to obtain leave from the Court of Appeal, which is the second highest court in Malaysia, before she can proceed with the appeal.The first time Sam was acquitted was in October 2019. She was ordered to enter defence by the Johor Bahru High Court in February 2021. The Magistrates' Court then acquitted her again in October last year.Following which, Attorney General (AG) Tan Sri Idrus Harun instructed the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) to file an appeal against Sam's acquittal last year, which led to yesterday's sentencing.

Sam is currently under police custody

She will be transferred to the women's wing of the Kluang Prison in Johor today, reported Malay Mail.Yesterday, the High Court had denied her lawyer's application to stay the sentence pending appeal.

Nutrition, Safety & 6 Other Things Malaysian Parents Worry About The Most For Their Kids

Every parent wants what's best for their kids

From the day they're born, you strive to be their superhero, and do everything in your power to love them, protect them, teach them, and help them grow into their own person.But as parents, you just can't help worrying about your kids, no matter how old they are.

In collaboration with PTPTN, we asked Malaysian parents to share some of their biggest parenting fears. Here's what they said:

Note: Some names have been changed to protect the privacy of individuals.

1. "Despite my best efforts, I worry that my words and actions may end up having a negative effect on my kids, and cause them hurt"

"My parents said and did things with the best intentions when I was growing up. And yet, many of those things had long-lasting negative effects on my self-esteem, relationships, and social interactions. I worry that the same thing will happen to my kids. I want them to be confident, happy, and kind. But I am not always confident nor happy nor kind."- Laila, 33

2. "Some graduates with good grades, skills, and values are struggling to find work. What about in another 20 years from now? It could be harder for my son’s generation."

"I always wonder how my son will turn out to be in the future. Will he become a successful, good, and kind man or not? Also, raising a child is not just about making sure he gets good grades, but also about ensuring that he becomes a person with good moral values."- Zack, 27

3. "I worry whether or not my kids would turn out to be good, nice, and kind human beings"

"There is just so much hate in the world :( I want my kids to be able to spread love and joy, and to stand up for those who are unable to stand up for themselves."- Michelle, 31

4. "My son is autistic and I worry that I'm not giving him enough tools and support"

"His therapy and schooling are already expensive, and I wish I could provide more, but I can't afford it. I worry that he'll be totally dependent on me and his dad as an adult, both financially and emotionally. My biggest fear is that something will happen to me and there will be no one to look after him anymore."- Ninja Housewife, 33

5. "My biggest fear is my children's safety"

"I guess I'm considered a helicopter parent, but I feel it's better to be safe than sorry. I'm scared of bad people kidnapping or hurting my kids. I worry about bullies at school. Now with the pandemic, I'm stressed all the time. My babies are my responsibility, so if anything happens to them, it's my fault."- Cactus, 35

6. "I have five kids and I'm really worried that I won't be able to afford higher education for all of them"

"My five kiddos are all at different schooling levels and it's already expensive enough right now. School fees, uniform, books, exam fees, there's just so many things to pay for. I can't imagine what it's gonna be like paying for their higher education, especially with the increasing cost of education. Even if I start saving now... will it be enough?"- Gina, 36

7. "I'm really concerned about my eldest daughter because she's a very, very picky eater"

"I'm scared that her health and nutrition will be affected. She's okay now, but will this affect her in the future? I dunooooo :("- Bb, 27

8. "My wife and I worry that when our time comes, we'll be leaving nothing behind for our kids"

Image used for illustration purposes only.
Image via odua (Freepik)

"My wife and I live paycheck to paycheck, and never have enough to save at the end of the month. We live in a rented home and have no investments or assets. So, what will we leave behind for our three kids when we pass on? It's so scary to think about that. We don't want to fail them as parents."- Fahmi, 33

A huge part of parenting is preparing for your little one's future, and this includes saving up for their education. No matter your children's ages, now is always the best time to start.

PTPTN is encouraging parents to be their child's superhero by saving for their future with Bulan Menabung SSPN.Since 2018, PTPTN has held Program Minggu Menabung SSPN annually. It's usually an on-ground event, but due to the COVID-19 situation, PTPTN decided to have a superhero-themed Bulan Menabung SSPN instead.Throughout the month of October, there are lots of activities and rewards to incentivise you to save.Check them out below:- Kuiz Kahoot!- Happy Hour- Tabung DIY- Siri P&T Si Tabung- SSPN Got Talent- Teka Dalam Tabung- Kongsi Gambar Tabung- Bento SSPN Chef Junior- WOW! SSPN Challenge- Sembang Santai Online- Baby Merangkak Race SSPN x Pa&Ma- Pertandingan Mewarna Kuasa Menabung

To educate Malaysian parents about the importance of saving, PTPTN encourages them to save with the Skim Simpanan Pendidikan Nasional (SSPN)

Established by PTPTN, saving via SSPN gives you lots of special benefits, including Government-assured savings. Most importantly, this scheme is Syariah compliant.Besides that, SSPN also has a good dividend rate. For example, in 2019, the dividend rate paid out for SSPN was 4%.

Artist Sews Self-Inflicted Sculpture Into Her Flesh To Show How Women's Work Is NOT Easy

In an attempt to challenge the pre-conceived notion that ‘women’s work’ is light and easy, artist Eliza Bennett embroiders a self-inflicted sculpture into her flesh

Using her own skin as a canvas, artist Eliza Bennett has realized a self-inflicted sculpture, woven into the palm of her hand.

Considering the flesh as a base material, Eliza carefully stitches patterns and lines into the epidermis of her body using colored thread

Entitled A Woman’s Work is Never Done, the artist embroidered her own hand to appear weathered and worn, as if having undergone years of physical labor. The hope is to draw attention to the drudgery of low-paying jobs that are generally considered gender specific, such as those in custodial, health care, and service fields.

        elizabennett.co.uk

      Unsupported video platform

Speaking about her ephemeral sculpture’s significance, Eliza says: "through a personally charged perception, I explore a range of issues relating to the formlessness of both individual and social reality"

"Using my own hand as a base material, I considered it a canvas upon which I stitched into the top layer of skin using thread to create the appearance of an incredibly work worn hand."

"By using the technique of embroidery, traditionally employed to represent femininity and applying it to the expression of it’s opposite, I hope to challenge the pre-conceived notion that ‘women’s work’ is light and easy."

        elizabennett.co.uk

Eliza further says, "Aiming to represent the effects of hard work arising from employment in low paid ancillary jobs such as cleaning, caring, and catering, all traditionally considered to be ‘women’s work’"

"I employ a range of materials and techniques and apply them to the expression of themes central to existence, such as the formation and disintegration of identity, sexuality and the challenge of communication, often highlighting the conflict between natural and cultural in contemporary society."

Renovating Your Home: What You Should Spend On Vs What To Save

When it comes to renovating your home – two extremes often exist

On one hand, there’s the urge to splurge every penny on creating the ultimate home you’ve always dreamed of. On the other, do you really need to? Sure, call it a long-term investment (after all, you’re probably going to stay in it for years to come) - but some things aren’t necessarily important or worth the extra splurge.To save yourself the potential regret (and to help you save up), we rank which of these 6 popular, big-ticket works are worth the spend, and which are not.

1. Mixed tiles: SAVE

Yes, they are everywhere on our Instagram feed (#sorrynotsorry) and they look eye-catching to boot, but fancy tiles in general are pretty costly. Fancy on fancy? Let’s say they should be at the bottom of your list if your renovation budget is a concern. Unless you’re an eclectic soul who has always been in love with this sort of mismatched thing, stick with timeless, classic tile colours that you know you won’t cringe about after 10 years.

2. Kitchen backsplash: SAVE

Once again, another new fixture in stylish interior blogs and Pinterest boards, funky backsplashes are an instant way to add pizzazz (and hip factor) to your otherwise blah kitchen. However, just remember that they do just that – spiff up your space. Your kitchen can still function the same without it. And honestly? Extra backsplash tiles just means more cleaning work – considering how grime and dirt are easily trapped in the grout lines.

3. Wall hack: SPEND

Okay, hacking can be an expensive endeavour, but they are a worthy cost that can totally open up a cramped home or change the way a space functions (like an all-in-one open-plan concept). They can also greatly improve the way we live – and enable the space to fit into our lifestyles better. Just remember to think in the long run. Will you need your home to function differently in the future? For instance, that study room you were planning to hack for a larger living space might come in handy if you need extra storage space for the years to come.

4. Platform bed: SAVE

The ultimate storage space maximiser, platform beds might be heaven-sent solutions for hoarders and they give off that zen-like, minimalist look, but they have their downsides too. We won’t recommend having them if you’re living there for the long haul, as a platform bed’s flat surface can prove inconvenient to get out of as you age (or if you get pregnant).

Perhaps something more functional in the long run is a taller, wider raised platform that still achieves the same look and provides ample storage space?

5. Walk-in wardrobe: SPEND

If you’re talking about having enough storage space – spend those pennies on a solid, walk-in wardrobe instead. Got extra room at home to spare? Walk-in wardrobes are a worthy addition that not only helps you stow away your ever-increasing collection of clothes, but can even double as a mini-storeroom of sorts for other stuff. Consider customising compartments for storing items like your vacuum cleaner, luggage, ironing board or any odd-shaped knick-knacks to fully utilise this space!

6. Bathtubs: SAVE

A long, leisurely soak in a luxurious tub sounds like the ultimate indulgence – because it is. To be honest, most of us probably wouldn’t make full use of a bathtub on a daily basis; instead we’d grab a shower head to get the job over and done with! Not only are bathtubs a hassle to install, they can consume more water – and are chore to clean. So, leave that claw foot tub for your next staycation instead, maybe?

Renovating a home may be a pricey affair, so make the most of your budget by working smart!

An experienced interior designer can help come up with a suitable design, based on your available budget, and advise you on the best areas to cut costs from.
