According to Penang Local Government, Traffic Management and Flood Mitigation Committee's report, Penang recorded the highest amount of rain at 270mm which was measured earlier Friday at Air Itam dam

The overnight downpour produced the highest amount of rainfall ever recorded in Penang's history, which contributed to the floods in several areas in the state."The intensity of rain for one month poured within four hours, resulting in the flood we see today," State Local Government, Traffic Management and Flood Mitigation Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow was quoted by NST as saying."The damn is also filled up to 91.1 per cent by 12.15pm today compared to 74.6 per cent yesterday. Teluk Bahang dam received 180mm of rain today which is really high."

Scientists Have Discovered A New Species Of Cockroach And Named It After A
Pokémon

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

Singaporean entomologists have discovered a new species of cockroach at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in Singapore

According to The Straits Times, the newest addition to the nightmare fuel that are cockroaches measures at 5mm long and possesses long antennas, wings that mimic a hood, and long slender legs.The discovery was made by National University of Singapore (NUS) Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum entomologist and scientific officer Foo Maosheng and his co-author,  Cristian C Lucañas from the UPLB Museum of Natural History in the Philippines, both of whom are self-proclaimed Pokémon enthusiasts.In honour of their findings and their love for the anime, the entomologists named their new discovery after a seventh-generation Pokémon called Pheromosa. Its Latin name is Nocticola pheromosa, which means fond of the night. The name is fitting for the cockroach as it bears very similar characteristics to its anime counterpart."Both my collaborator and I are Pokémon fans, so we thought, why not name it after a Pokémon inspired by a cockroach," Foo said.

The new species was discovered when the entomologists collected a few male cockroach specimens between 2016 and 2017 during an insect survey

By comparing the male genitalia between specimens, Foo discovered that Nocticola pheromosa had no previous records in Singapore, indicating that this cockroach species was a new discovery."Since its DNA did not match any species recorded online, it does add to the suggestion that this species has not been formally documented," Foo said.

With the help of Lucañas, both entomologists dissected the insect and documented their findings on 27 February this year.

Foo, who is an avid fan of insects and Pokémon, so much so that his interests have earned him the moniker "bug catcher" among his students at NUS and other entomologists, was elated at this discovery. Sharing with Mothership, Foo said that he felt "surreal and somewhat emotional"."Both the adult and kid in me are cheering away. The scientific Pokémon journey has not ended for this Bug Catcher," he said.

Because this cockroach was only recently discovered and is "severely understudied", there is limited information about the insect, including where it's from.
But, here's what we know so far:

As hard it is to believe, cockroaches play an important part in the ecosystem, using bacteria present in their anatomy to breakdown woody and leafy materials, an essential step in the process of nutrient cycling. Some species are also essential pollinators in nature.However when it comes to Nocticola pheromosa, this species lacks the bacteria that is commonly found in all cockroach species, putting into question what its role in the ecosystem is.This new species is also only found in forests, where the first specimens were collected.Findings also discovered that this particular genus of cockroach belongs to one of the oldest species of cave cockroach, dating all the way back to the dinosaur period.

While Nocticola pheromosa is definitely prettier than the average house cockroach, we think it's much prettier far, far, far away from us. :)

UPSR Results Reveal That Almost 60,000 12-Year-Old Malaysians Are Obese

The 2017 Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) results were released on 23 November and it revealed some interesting statistics on Year Six students in the country

For the first time in Malaysian history, the Education Ministry took a refreshing, new approach in announcing UPSR results by including three other non-academic assessment reports, namely: 1. Sports, physical, and curriculum activities assessment - students will be evaluated on their level of fitness, body mass index, and participation in sports, co-curriculum, and extra co-curricular activities. 2. Classroom assessment - among others, students will be evaluated on their abilities to use various instruments, materials in class. 3. Psychometric assessment - this assessment will look at students' psychological traits and measure their innate and acquired ability in different areas including music, linguistics, naturalist leanings, mathematical logic, and kinesthetic learning.

Out of the three non-academic assessments, the Sports, Physical, and Curriculum activities assessment stood out, as it revealed that 58,294 Year Six students in Malaysia are obese

Image via New Straits Times

The Body Mass Index (BMI) assessment found that 56,294 (13.4%) students are at the risk of being obese, 58,294 (13.8%) are obese, and 40,347 (9.5%) students are underweight. The remaining 268,314 (63.4%) have normal BMI. "We need to tackle this issue and the participation of various parties including parents, ministries, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are crucial. It is a societal problem, not a school problem," stressed Education director-general Datuk Dr Amin Senin in a New Straits Times (NST) article yesterday, 23 November.

Meanwhile, the Physical Fitness Standard (SEGAK) assessment found that 40,957 (9.5%) students recorded 'very high' fitness levels and 168,101 (38.8%) were categorised as having 'high' fitness levels

"On the other hand, 189,929 (43.9%) candidates recorded 'fit' fitness levels and 3,644 (0.8%) candidates recorded 'unfit' fitness levels," said Dr Amin. He also advised parents to refer to their children's Physical Activities, Sports, and Co-curricular Assessment (PAJSK), Physical Fitness Standard (SEGAK), and BMI to ensure that they are healthy and physically active.

Explaining the new approach, Dr Amin said that the ministry is committed to providing a wholesome education experience for students

"It is no longer about how many As the students secure, but the emphasis is on how they do in other areas, especially on character building and instilling values as well as creating fun learning in schools. "We will do away with school average grades and subject average grades as they place pressure on schools, teachers, and students to excel solely on academics," added Dr Amin in a report by New Straits Times (NST) earlier this week.He also said that it is unfair to evaluate the students based on their academic achievements alone, without taking into consideration their physical, emotional, and spiritual progress and development. "Each student is unique in their own way and it is only fair that the evaluation takes note of all their best aspects. Priority should be given to students' development as a whole," added Dr Amin.

Speaking of UPSR results, Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid posted a very important message earlier this week on celebrations for the high achievers:

                Edu Minister's Wise Words On Celebrating UPSR Students Is A Must-Read Not Only For Parents

UPSR candidates can collect their result from their respective schools on Thursday, 23 November.

Pupuk Kesedaran Jaga Haiwan, Doktor Veterinar Ini Sanggup Tawar Khidmat Rundingan Percuma

Follow kami di Telegram, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita dan artikel-artikel menarik di SAYS Seismik.

Haiwan merupakan antara makhluk ciptaan Tuhan yang mempunyai hubungan yang sangat rapat dengan manusia secara langsung atau tidak

Perbezaan di antara manusia dan haiwan ialah akal dan keupayaan untuk berfikir secara rasional. Maka manusia haruslah menggunakan kelebihan akal yang diberikan untuk kebaikan.Walau bagaimanapun, bagi Dr Siti Nadzirah Zulkiffle, 33, kecintaannya terhadap dunia haiwan terutama kucing antara pendorong utama dia menceburi bidang veterinar.Pada zaman remajanya sekitar usia 16 tahun, dia tidak tahu wujud jurusan kedoktoran haiwan ada ditawarkan di pusat pengajian.Asalnya, Siti Nadzirah atau mesra disapa Dr Naz bercita cita menjadi doktor bidan. Namun akhirnya, dia dapat juga belajar jurusan Doktor Perubatan Veterinar di Universiti Putra Malaysia di Sri Kembangan, Selangor.Sejak tujuh tahun lalu, Dr Naz menjadi pengasas klinik dan penjagaan haiwan, CT Vet di Gelang Patah, Johor Bahru (JB).

Mahu pupuk kesedaran terhadap orang ramai betapa pentingnya menjaga haiwan peliharaan dengan cara betul

"Berpegang kepada prinsip setiap makhluk termasuk haiwan, saya percaya semua perlu dilayan baik. Itu juga antara sebab saya begitu berazam memiliki klinik haiwan sendiri."Saya sendiri begitu dekat dengan haiwan terutama kucing. Hati memang cepat tersentuh dan hiba melihat haiwan itu diapa apakan atau terbiar begitu saja."Kesedaran mengenai hal membela haiwan ini dengan baik sudah mula ada kalau mahu dibandingkan dulu. Cuma kita kena terus mendidik tentang peri pentingnya menjaga haiwan dengan cara betul. "Jangan anggap kucing atau anjing ini setakat binatang semata mata. Lagi banyak mendidik, lagi besar ruang kita bantu menjaga haiwan dengan baik. Jangan semberono," kata wanita berasal dari Johor Bahru itu.Tambah anak sulung daripada tujuh beradik itu, kewujudan banyak pilihan klinik haiwan yang menawarkan pelbagai perkhidmatan antara yang membuatnya tersenyum bangga.

Image via Klinik Haiwan Ct Vet (Facebook)

Tawarkan khidmat rundingan percuma sejak Mac tahun lalu sebab nak galak lebih ramai lagi menjaga haiwan dengan betul

Sejak beberapa dekad ini, semakin ramai pencinta haiwan terutama haiwan peliharaan seperti kucing yang begitu mementingkan penjagaan khusus buat si bulus tidak ubah seperti ‘anak’ sendiri menjadikan permintaan terhadap bidang veterinar semakin bertambah.Tambahan pula akses kepada penjagaan kesihatan haiwan semakin meluas di negara ini hingga ramai yang sanggup mengeluarkan belanja besar untuk memastikan haiwan peliharaan mereka mendapat penjagaan sempurna."Klinik saya sendiri sampai tahap menawarkan khidmat rundingan percuma sejak Mac tahun lalu sebab nak galak lebih ramai lagi menjaga haiwan dengan betul."Tak dinafikan kos penjagaan rawatan haiwan boleh mencecah beribu ringgit. Macam kalau haiwan itu patah tulang boleh cecah empat angka kosnya."Kalau rawatan penyakit yang boleh dicegah dalam anggaran kos RM1,000 hingga RM2,500. Padahal vaksin ubat kutu dan cacing cuma sekitar RM100 ke RM150 sahaja. Jadi kalau pandai jaga dan mencegah, kos mahal itu dapat dielak," katanya.

Image via Klinik Haiwan Ct Vet (Facebook)

Pernah suatu ketika sampai 80 ekor kucing 'menginap' di rumah, ayahnya terus marah sebab keadaan di rumah macam kedai haiwan peliharaan

Jika mahu diimbas zaman remajanya, Dr Naz gemar menyelamatkan kucing. Hingga satu tahap apabila banyak kucing di bawa balik ke rumah terus dimarahi bapa."Pernah suatu ketika,  nampak kucing di jalanan, saya akan selamatkan atau merawatnya. Sampai 80 ekor kucing 'menginap' di rumah. Apa lagi, ayah terus marah sebab keadaan di rumah macam kedai haiwan peliharaan."Ada sebahagian kucing itu saya jaga di klinik. Ada yang sudah mati," katanya.Dr Naz berkata, ada pemilik kucing yang sampai tahap mahu mematikan haiwan itu kerana sudah tidak mampu menjaganya."Tapi saya tak sanggup melakukannya. Malah mencadangkan kepada pemilik haiwan untuk membenarkan kucing mereka diambil alih orang lain," katanya.

Dr Siti Nadzirah Zulkiffle.
Image via Klinik Haiwan Ct Vet (Facebook)

Katanya lagi, objektif membangunkan klinik itu bukan saja mahu menyelamatkan haiwan yang sakit atau tercedera sebaliknya dia mahu memberi nilai kepada kehidupan makhluk itu.“Haiwan itu tidak boleh bercakap jika ada sebarang masalah kesihatan. Lalu siapa lagi yang boleh diharapkan selain doktor haiwan untuk mengenal pasti masalah kesihatan yang dialami dan memberikan rawatan sesuai kepada mereka.“Kadangkala pemilik haiwan itu sendiri tidak tahu atau tidak dapat mengenal pasti masalah yang haiwan mereka alami. Jadi, pentingnya tugas kami untuk membantu menyelamatkan haiwan dan berbakti kepada mereka,” katanya yang sudah berkahwin April lalu dan belum mempunyai cahaya mata.Bagi meneruskan ruang memberi kesedaran yang mahu diperjuangkan, Dr Naz terus mahu menyedarkan lebih ramai pencinta haiwan terutama di JB dan berdekatan datang ke kliniknya."Selain berkongsi info penting dan tips, jika ada kesulitan melingkari haiwan peliharaan anda, datanglah ke klinik CT Vet  di Taman Nusa Perintis, Gelang Patah, JB."Saya sendiri mewujudkan akaun media sosial seperti Instagram @klinik_haiwan_ct_vet, Facebook (Klinik Haiwan Ct Vet) dan di aplikasi Telegram sahabatctvet," ujarnya.

Tun M: Students Can Wear Any Colour Shoes To School

Prime Minister and acting Education Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has assured that the black-shoe policy will not be implemented

In a report by Free Malaysia Today (FMT), Dr Mahathir wittily said that students will be free to wear any colour shoes they want to school. “You can wear brown shoes, black shoes, grey shoes, white shoes, or any shoes," the Prime Minster was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today."As far as I am concerned, you can wear any shoes," he told reporters at a press conference yesterday, 17 January.

This came after an uproar over a circular distributed by the Ministry of Education (MOE) earlier this week

On Wednesday, 15 January, Malay Mail reported that a circular by the MOE had been delivered to schools nationwide, instructing them to survey their students on the uptake of the black-shoe policy as part of the school uniform.According to Sin Chew Daily, a letter by the MOE dated January 14 was circulating on social media, addressing the education directors of all state education departments to notify schools of the survey, which was to be completed by 22 January. Speaking with Sin Chew Daily, principal of Chong Wen Hua Primary School confirmed the news, saying that the school was already conducting a survey on the number of students wearing black and white shoes.A screenshot of the survey form was also published, which included questions such as the number of students enrolled in the school and the number of students wearing black or white shoes.

Previously, former Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik had announced that the students will start wearing black shoes and socks to school

According to last year's report in The Star, the Education Ministry was to fully enforce the black-shoe policy in 2021, a policy that quickly became controversial.

Meanwhile, Dr Mahathir admitted that he was still in the midst of familiarising himself with his tasks as the acting Education Minister

Since he and the ministry's new director-general Habibah Abdul Rahman are new, they will discuss if any new policies should be implemented."I had a very long meeting yesterday. I am still digesting all the information. I am a little bit confused because so many facts were presented. I have to study all that," he said, as quoted by Free Malaysia Today.

      Unsupported video platform

In protest to the new MDA licensing regime, prominent bloggers set their blogs offline at the stroke of midnight last night. The 24-hour "internet blackout" is spearheaded by a group of 32 bloggers and socio-political websites, known as "Free My Internet".

        channelnewsasia.com

They said the new rules, which require local news websites with substantial reach to come up with a S$50,000 bond and comply with a take-down notice within 24 hours, will limit public discourse.

        todayonline.com

As of midnight, the group listed about 100 websites and blogs which it said have joined in the movement. It has also started a petition calling for the withdrawal of the licensing regime. As of 6 June 2013, the petition has garnered 3055 signatures.

        msn.com

#FreeMyInternet: Netizens protest against new licensing requirement for websites

The new rule had sparked an angry reaction from netizens who see the move as a bid by the Government to clamp down on expression online. They said: "We encourage all Singaporeans who are concerned about our future and our ability to participate in everyday online activities and discussions, and to seek out alternative news and analysis, to take a strong stand against the licensing regime which can impede on your independence."

        asiaone.com

The group of bloggers include the editors of sites such as The Online Citizen, TR Emeritus and Public House. They are planning to rally at Speakers' Corner on 8 June 2013, and shutting down their blogs and websites for 24 hours this Thursday (6 May 2013).

        straitstimes.com

Media Development Authority introduces new regulation for websites to secure a license and pay $50,000

Starting 1 June 2013, online news sites which report regularly on Singapore and have significant reach will be required to have an individual licence.

        channelnewsasia.com

The policy will require websites that report regularly on Singapore news & have at least 50,000 visitors a month to obtain annual licenses, the Media Development Authority said. They also will be required to remove content found to be in breach of MDA standards within 24 hours of notification.

        go.com

MDA said the move would place such sites on a "more consistent regulatory framework" with traditional news platforms like newspapers and television stations, which are individually licensed.

        straitstimes.com

Singapore government says licensing framework is not censorship

MDA said that the regulation is not an attempt to influence the editorial slant of news sites. It also added that  it would only step in when complaints are raised to their attention, and the content is assessed to be in breach of guidelines and merits action.

        singapolitics.sg

"The licensing framework applies only to sites that focus on reporting Singapore news and are notified by MDA that they meet the licensing criteria. An individual publishing views on current affairs and trends on his/her personal website or blog does not amount to news reporting," MDA said.

        asiaone.com

The government reiterated that websites can continue as per normal and that the new rule will not stifle freedom of speech on the internet.

        channelnewsasia.com

“Nowhere do the guidelines state that news sites cannot question or highlight the shortcomings of government policies, as long as the assessments are well-intentioned, and not based on factual inaccuracies with the intention to mislead the public,” Dr Yaacob said.

Trump Halts WHO Funding For "Severely Mismanaging And Covering Up The Spread" Of COVID-19

US President Donald Trump has announced that he is halting funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) over the agency's "role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of coronavirus"

While speaking during his nightly press conference from the White House, the US President said that he was instructing his administration to halt the WHO funding while "a review is conducted"."As the organisation's leading sponsor, the United States has a duty to insist on full accountability. One of the most dangerous and costly decisions from the WHO was its disastrous decision to oppose travel restrictions from China and other nations," he said, as reported by NPR.

×

The US is the worst-affected country in the COVID-19 pandemic with more than 614,000 cases and 26,000 deaths. It is also the WHO's biggest funder with over USD400 million (RM1.75 billion) per year.

The US' funds to the WHO totals under 15% of the group's total budget of USD4.8 billion.According to BBC, China's contribution to the  WHO in 2018-19 was almost USD76 million in assessed contributions and about USD10 million in voluntary funding.Cutting off funds to the group will be a major blow to the organisation as it conducts vaccine trials, distributes test kits, and advises governments around the world, Politico reported.

This is like suspending firefighters while they are trying to save your house from the flames, pending a review of whether the trucks arrived later than they should. The world needs to focus on fighting #covid19 not each other and it needs @WHO to do that. https://t.co/rI4rVkzADT— Kai Kupferschmidt (@kakape) April 14, 2020

Trump said the review would take 60 to 90 days

"The WHO failed in its basic duty and it must be held accountable," the US President said.According to reports, Trump has alleged the WHO of covering up the seriousness of the COVID-19 outbreak in China before the coronavirus spread to over 200 countries and territories around the world.The US President, who has been on the back foot following criticism over his handling of the pandemic, has continuously accused the United Nations (UN) health body of siding with the Chinese government.CNN reported that amidst questions about whether Trump downplayed the crisis or ignored early warnings in January, he has sought to assign blame elsewhere, including at WHO and in the US news media.According to Trump, the WHO prevented transparency over the outbreak and the United States will now "discuss what we do with all that money" that goes to the UN health body."With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have deep concerns whether America's generosity has been put to the best use possible. Had the WHO done its job to get medical experts into China to objectively assess the situation on the ground and to call out China's lack of transparency, the outbreak could have been contained at its source with very little death," he said during the press conference."This would have saved thousands of lives and avoided worldwide economic damage. Instead, the WHO willingly took China's assurances at face value... and defended the actions of the Chinese government."

Trump's latest stand contradicts his own praise when he congratulated the Chinese government's response to the COVID-19 crisis

China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 24, 2020

While the WHO's response to the pandemic has not been perfect, public health officials generally agree that the group has done a lot better than how the US itself has handled the COVID-19 crisis

Detailing how the WHO has handled the pandemic, The Guardian reported that the group first raised the alert over the Wuhan outbreak on 5 January, and beginning on 7 January it was briefing public health officials from the US and other national governments on the outbreak in regular teleconference calls.Below is an excerpt from The Guardian's article:On 9 January, the WHO distributed guidance to member states for their own risk assessment and planning.On 10 and 11 January, its officials told their counterparts about human-to-human transmission being a strong possibility given the experience of past coronavirus epidemics and urged suitable precautions.On 23 January, the WHO updated its account of the coronavirus threat, confirming human-to-human transmission and warning that the global risk was high. A week later, it declared a global emergency.By early February, when the WHO was in a position to distribute a COVID-19 test worldwide, the US government opted not to have it fast-tracked through approval and instead produced its own test.However, the test produced by the US turned out to be flawed and had to be recalled. The actions caused US testing to be set back more than six weeks compared to the rest of the world.Trump then took his country's low number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, which was due to virtually no testing being done throughout February, to boast about his administration doing a good job in keeping the coronavirus in control, nearly a month after the WHO had declared it an emergency.

The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 24, 2020

Meanwhile, the US Justice Department announced it had sent USD300 million in funds stolen in the 1MDB corruption scandal back:

                PM Thanks US Govt For Returning RM1.3 Billion Worth Of Stolen 1MDB Funds

"The amount of money stolen from the people of Malaysia is staggering."

Samsung's Ridiculous Tactic To Hide Apple Logos On iPhones At 2014 Winter Olympics

According to reports, Samsung is giving athletes at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics a free Galaxy Note 3. But the 'gift' comes with a big-time quid pro quo.

Olympics sponsor Samsung is reportedly dropping Galaxy Note 3 smartphones in athletes' goodie-bags, though the gift comes with a catch: a supposed ban on any other device branding, iPhone or otherwise, during the opening ceremony.

        slashgear.com

Olympians looking for a free Galaxy Note need to cover up their iPhones on TV.
Image via businessinsider.com

Samsung's plan was outed by members of the Swiss Olympic team, who noticed the guidelines inserted into the athletes' gift bags

They were pleased to discover the Note 3 in among the other promotional kit sponsors have been offering, Bluewin reports, but the phone came with guidelines on what Samsung is said to be requiring in return for its financial support.

        appleinsider.com

Image via imore.com

The rule only appears to apply to athletes, rather than anybody else attending the opening ceremony.

        slashgear.com

Image via netdna-cdn.com

Under the headline "iPhone forbidden at Olympics opening ceremony," the image above is captioned, "If Beat Feuz had an iPhone and wanted to take photos of the Olympics opening ceremony, he'd have to cover the Apple logo."

        iclarified.com

This isn’t something that is completely unusual for a company to do. It is simply a marketing ploy, used by many companies in all venues.

Go to a movie and see Coca-Cola everywhere with absolutely no reference to Pepsi, same goes for sporting events or concerts. The difference is, we don’t get free soda.

        androidheadlines.com

Samsung even has a group of athletes that they have dubbed the “Galaxy Team,”  who will be using their Note 3 to share their experience every step of the way

The Note 3 seems to be what Samsung is really pushing at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Since Samsung is an official Olympics sponsor, there is already the understanding that athletes are not allowed to advertise for anyone else.

        businessinsider.com.au

Image via tapscape.com

The Olympics provide an unparalleled advertising opportunity, with television coverage spanning the globe. Though figures for 2014 are unknown, it is thought that Samsung spent at least $100 million to sponsor the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

        appleinsider.com

Last year alone, Samsung spent $14 billion on marketing, a figure that investors have targeted as extravagantly excessive

But even as the company works to reduce its marketing expenses, Samsung is struggling with expensive sponsorships where celebrities have put their free Galaxy back in the box to use iPhones.

        iclarified.com

At the last Summer Olympics, Samsung signed an "exclusive agreement with David Beckham to be its global brand ambassador for the London 2012 Olympic Games," but Beckham was, embarrassingly for Samsung, just spotted using his iPhone 5s at the Super Bowl.

        appleinsider.com

Image via appleinsider.com

Samsung has regularly experienced difficulty in avoiding embarrassment after key sponsors continued using iOS devices, most notably via Twitter. In December, Samsung launched a "Galaxy 11" fantasy soccer team campaign that was intended to go viral, but instead went awry when star team manager Franz Beckenbauer tweeted out Samsung's prepared remarks from his iPhone.

RHB's Touching Raya Ad Features Malaysian Who Makes Music Covers Using Sign Language

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

Have you seen RHB's Raya ad yet? It's based on the real-life story of Nuramira, a Malaysian girl who is doing something absolutely amazing for the local Deaf community. <3
Watch the short film below:

×

Titled Sempurna, it tells the story of Nuramira and her best friend (named Izzatul in the film) as they navigate through the challenges presented to them and how they manage to overcome it side by side. Though Nuramira and her best friend are inspired by their real-life counterparts, they're played by actresses in the film, who beautifully bring their story to life.RHB's Raya short film shows everyone that no matter how impossible an obstacle may seem, as long as we draw strength from each other, we can get through it together.

Told from Izzatul's POV, she begins by recounting all the good memories and happy times she's shared with Nuramira

Image via RHB Group (YouTube)

Awww, only true friends tease each other about someone they like. Best friend goals, amirite? :P

However, all this comes to a screeching halt when Izzatul realises she can no longer hear as well as she used to :(

Image via RHB Group (YouTube)

Losing one of your main senses can be terrifying, and no doubt Izzatul had the shock of her life upon discovering it.

As Izzatul tries to grapple with her new reality, Nuramira sticks by her side through it all, and even learns sign language

Image via RHB Group (YouTube)

This part really highlights Izzatul's strength in moving forward despite the difficulty she's facing, and shows how supportive Nuramira is in learning the language in order to communicate with her best friend.

The film ends with Nuramira performing the song Sempurna for Izzatul via sign language :')

Image via RHB Group (YouTube)

The lyrics convey the meaning that no matter how different we are from each other, we're still perfect the way we are. Which is exactly what Nuramira is saying to Izzatul as she signs. Hey, who's cutting onions around here? T_T

Keep watching till the very end, as the real Nuramira makes a cameo appearance :)

Image via RHB Group (YouTube)

Meet Nuramira binti Mohd Amin, the 21-year-old Malaysian who has been hard at work creating song covers - all with sign language! Isn't that awesome? She uploads videos of herself using sign language on Instagram and YouTube.

Despite having no hearing loss, Nuramira wants everyone to enjoy the emotions behind music

Image via @nurrmraa (Instagram)

Although it may appear to look easy, performing song covers with sign language is quite complicated, since it isn't just about hand gestures. It is an expressive language that combines facial expressions as well as the speed of the signing, and Nuramira does just that with her song covers. Check out her cover of the song Menunggu by Orkes A Hizadin and Ainina Hasnul here:

×

You can check out more song covers on her YouTube channel, they're sooo cool :D If you can't get enough of her videos, she has even more covers uploaded to her Instagram as well!

After watching that heartwarming film, we can see why RHB decided to pay tribute to Nuramira's story, as it serves as a reminder to us all about being there for each other in times of need

Image via RHB Group (YouTube)

The chief marketing officer of RHB, Abdul Sani Abdul Murad, believes that Nuramira's decision to stand by her friend, even though it was not her challenge to face, was the most inspiring part of the story."Her act of selflessness is not just an anthem of what RHB stands for, but also what the people believe in during these trying times – that only by standing together in the face of challenges can true progress be found. Hence, this film is more than just about her story; it’s a story for Malaysians this Hari Raya," said Abdul Sani.

Just like how Nuramira supports Izzatul in overcoming obstacles, RHB aims to be supportive of the challenges being faced by the rakyat this Raya

Image via @rhbgroup (Instagram)

One of the challenges Malaysians are facing is the difficulty in giving out duit Raya to their loved ones. With RHB introducing a new feature to their mobile app, you can now send personalised e-Duit Raya to your friends and family!All you need is an RHB account, and once you've registered for RHB Now Internet Banking and downloaded the RHB Now Mobile Banking App, you can easily send all your duit Raya virtually with just their mobile number, Facebook ID, or email address.

Nuramira, you're an inspiration. Thank you for creating quality content for the Deaf community, and for us all too! <3

“Kadang-Kadang Aku Cemuih Juga Bini Aku Ni, Semua Tak Apa. Jarang Cakap Tak Boleh”

Sudah menjadi lumrah buat pasangan yang berkahwin untuk saling memahami dan bertolak ansur antara satu sama lain

Image via ohbulan

Perkara ini penting bagi menjamin keharmonian rumah tangga selain mengekalkan kebahagiaan yang dibina bersama.Sebagai contoh, seorang isteri mampu bertimbang rasa terhadap suaminya dengan mengambil pendekatan untuk tidak terlalu mendesak dan memahami kepayahan suaminya yang bekerja keras untuk mencari rezeki buat keluarga.Bahkan seakan sudah menjadi kebiasaan buat insan yang bergelar isteri dan ibu untuk lebih mengutamakan keluarganya dan melupakan keinginan yang terbuku di hati.

Seperti perkongsian yang dibuat seorang pengguna Facebook bernama Edi Arjuna, dia menceritakan sikap serta keperibadian isterinya yang sungguh mulia kerana sering mengutamakan keluarga

Image via Edi Arjuna / Facebook

Kadang-kadang aku cemuih jugak bini aku ni. Semua tak apa. Tu tak apa ni tak apa semua tak apa. Jarang nak dengar dia kata tak boleh. Jarang bila dia nak apa-apa aku tak bagi, dia tarik muka.Time dapat gaji, "Tak apa bang. Anak-anak dulu." "Tak apa bang. Barang abang lagi penting." "Tak apa bang. Bil letrik dengan yuran kena settle dulu."Jarang la nak dengar dia kata,"Bang, nak handbag. Nak gelang. Nak pi honeymoon."Kalau aku nak outstation tambah lagi ke Indonesia tu. "Tak apa bang. Sayang boleh handle anak-anak." "Tak apa bang. Pi la release stress abang tu. Sayang jaga anak." "Tak apa bang. Dah yang tu kerja abang."Ada masa dia balik cerita kat aku, "Bang. Kawan pi Korea. Kawan pi honeymoon New Zealand. Kawan pi umrah laki bini." Dah tu dia gelak senyum happy untuk kawan kawan. Dia tak kata pun, "abang, jom pi honeymoon."Jauh di sudut hati aku tau, "tak apa"nya itu kalau boleh nak ikut. Kalau boleh nak merasa. Kalau boleh nak duduk sebelah aku, genggam tangan aku sambil tengok matahari naik kat negara orang. Tapi benda tu tak keluar dari mulut dia sebab dia simpan dalam hati, dia simpan dalam doa. Dia faham aku ni tak mampu lagi nak bawa dia sekali. Kalau mampu pun anak-anak nak letak mana?Nak usung semua 7 beranak mahu tak berasap dapur 5 6 bulan. Selalu aku kata kat dia, nanti anak besaq kita pi. Nanti ada rezeki kita fly. Sabaq sat. Insyaallah kita pi Mekah dulu baru pi tengok tempat lain. Insyaallah, kita bawa semua sekali. Sama- sama kita doa ya.

Disebabkan itu katanya, segala permintaan yang diminta oleh isterinya tidak pernah ditolak kerana menyedari pengorbanan yang telah dibuat oleh insan tersayangnya itu selama ini

Image via Edi Arjuna / Facebook

Sebab tu bila dia ajak makan apa-apa aku tak pernah menolak walaupun benda tu aku tak suka. Dia ajak aku keluar time aku dah penat sangat pun aku ikut ja. Nak pergi makan laksa kena teman. Nak beli pad kena teman, nak beli lipstik kena teman. Nak pilih kain baju pun aku kena ada. Kalau aku yang ajak teman, lagi susah dia nak tolak. Confirm ikut. Dah tak boleh ikut jauh-jauh, ikut dekat-dekat pun tak apa.Jauh di sudut hati juga, aku rasa bersalah, berdosa. Rasa kesian. Lepas 15 tahun dia hidup dengan aku, tak banyak yang aku boleh bagi. Dia tetap dengan 'tak apa' dia. Tak apa tak apa tak apa."Tak apalah bang. Rezeki kita tak sama. Ada yang lebih ada yang kurang. Rezeki orang, boleh beli gelang bertingkat-tingkat, boleh pusing dunia setahun 2 kali. Rezeki kita, anak ramai. Rezeki kita, boleh tolong orang susah keliling kita. Orang mintak beras kita boleh bagi, orang mintak susu anak kita boleh bagi. Kita bahagia cara kita. Tak pusing dunia pun tak apa. Tak honeymoon pun tak apa. Tak kaya pun tak apa. Asalkan sayang ada abang. Abanglah dunia sayang. Abanglah kekayaan sayang."Itulah 'tak apa' seorang isteri. Bukan bererti dia okay segalanya. Tapi kita sebagai suami kena faham, dia sedia berkorban apa sahaja. Hanya satu yang dia minta, SETIA.

Pengorbanan seorang insan yang bergelar isteri dan ibu memang tiada tolok bandingnya. Jadi, hargailah ibu anda semua ya.

RMAF Pilot Killed In Hawk Jet Crash At Penang Airbase

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

A Hawk 108 aircraft crashed at the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) airbase in Butterworth, Penang at 10pm yesterday, 16 November, causing one death and an injury

Speaking to New Straits Times, a witness said that a "ball of flames" emerged as soon as the aircraft landed and caused an explosion."The aircraft dragged on before it exploded a second time," said Mastura Mohd Nordin, whose tomyam shop is about 100m away from the airbase at Kampung Benggali Sungai Puyu."We have been here for a long time and we know the type of sounds coming from an aircraft, but this was very different."

An explosion at the airbase was seen from afar.

The 44-year-old restaurateur added that she did not see any parachutes being opened nearby

"All we could see was the huge fire," she recounted.Witnesses claimed that about 30 minutes after the crash, they saw a helicopter flying out from the airbase.When New Straits Times reporters arrived at the scene, they saw many servicemen near the said aircraft, which was almost at the tail end of the runway.The Hawk 108 is a two-seater aircraft generally used as an advanced jet trainer, reported the English daily.

The serviceman who had died has been identified as Captain Mohamad Affendi Bustamy, while the injured is Major Mohd Fareez Omar

RMAF said both Affendi and Fareez were undergoing night flying when the incident occurred, reported New Straits Times.The latter is currently in stable condition and is receiving treatment at the Seberang Jaya Hospital.Meanwhile, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein has confirmed the incident and said that he is currently waiting for a detailed report of the cause of the crash.In a statement last night, RMAF also confirmed the incident and said it is "taking immediate actions and will inform the latest about the incident"."As such, we urge the people not to speculate on the matter," the country's air force pleaded.

We Asked M'sians To Review Mekdi's Nasi Lemak With Ayam Goreng McD. What's Their Verdict?

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

There's no denying that Malaysians love their nasi lemak, right?

Image via VOCKET

It's undoubtedly a Malaysian favourite, and for good reasons: the rich coconut rice, fiery and sweet sambal, fried crispy anchovies, and toasted peanuts, mmmm. An authentic nasi lemak has all of those yummy factors, but we've also seen various side dishes and condiments paired with it over time. This includes chicken and beef rendang, fried egg, fried chicken, curry, and more. What a spread, right? :9 With the national dish being such a wholesome meal, it's little wonder why Malaysians enjoy having it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even supper. ;)

In fact, even fast food chains like McDonald's Malaysia have the national dish on their menu

Image via McDonald's Malaysia (Provided to SAYS)

The best part? You can enjoy McDonald's Nasi Lemak McD together with their iconic Ayam Goreng McD, mmmm. That's right. Juicy, spicy, cripsy, and uniquely Malaysian, the Ayam Goreng McD, paired with the Nasi Lemak McD, is just oh-so-good.  But with nasi lemak being a staple dish, how does McDonald's Nasi Lemak McD fare on its own?

We asked a few Malaysians — most of whom dub themselves "nasi lemak connoisseurs" — to taste test McDonald's Nasi Lemak McD and Ayam Goreng McD.
Here's what they said:

1. Hafiz considers himself a big nasi lemak fan — he eats it at least once every week

Image via SAYS

"I'm a big nasi lemak fan, but surprisingly, I've not tried Nasi Lemak McD. It's good. The nasi lemak taste is very prominent. The sambal is just the right amount of spicy but a tad bit sweet for me. I usually prefer less sweet sambal because I'm a huge spicy and savoury food fan. On the contrary, however, the sambal is my favourite part of the dish."Pair the nasi lemak with the Spicy Ayam Goreng McD, and I think it's a very spicy dish. I think the ayam is already spicy enough that you can still get a satisfying meal even if you don't have sambal," he said.Hafiz rated the Nasi Lemak McD 7.5 out of 10.

Image via Viral Cham

2. Jasmine eats nasi lemak very frequently — about three to four times a week to be exact

Image via SAYS

When asked about her overall thoughts, Jasmine said, "I'm pleasantly surprised. I like it. The fried chicken has a lot of flavour and complements the sambal and the rice nicely. There are no peanuts, though, so slash one point!"The rice is good and my favourite part of the dish — it's fluffy, not lumpy. The sambal has a good amount of heat — it's not too sweet, but more on the savoury side."I like the chicken a lot. I like the crispiness of the skin — it has a good crunch."Jasmine rated the Nasi Lemak McD 8.5 out of 10.

Image via Viral Cham

3. Meanwhile, Firdaus loves tucking into a good plate of nasi lemak whenever he is lazy to cook

Image via SAYS

"The sambal is nice. I did not expect Mekdi to serve good sambal — it's spicy and sweet, and complements the Ayam Goreng McD well."The rice has a nice touch of coconut milk. It's not overpowering, so that's good — otherwise, it would not have paired well with the Ayam Goreng McD and sambal," said Firdaus. Firdaus rated the Nasi Lemak McD 7 out of 10.

Image via Viral Cham

4. When asked if she's a nasi lemak lover, Tammy excitedly and wholeheartedly exclaimed, "YES!"

Image via Tamara Jayne (Provided to SAYS)

"I think the nasi and sambal are exactly how I like it. Fragrant and not squishy rice, as well as not too sweet or spicy sambal. Just nice."It's definitely filling, haha. I like that there's Ayam Goreng McD with it, but I'm okay without it — just the nasi lemak on its own hits all the right taste buds when you're craving it," she said.Tammy rated the Nasi Lemak McD 7 out of 10.

Image via Viral Cham

So, overall, is McDonald's Nasi Lemak McD paired with Ayam Goreng McD worth it?
These Malaysians said yes, and personally, we'd give it a score of 8/10. :P

Still not convinced? Check out this short ad by Mekdi that is sure to make you crave the national dish right now, mmmm:

So, whatchu waiting for? Head over to your nearest McDonald's outlet, DriveThru, or order via McDelivery for some delicious Nasi Lemak McD with Ayam Goreng McD today!

[VIDEO] A Foldable Smartphone With Three Detachable Screens That Can 3D Print A 'Building'

The Human Media Lab at Queen's University has taken the wraps off its new prototype smartphone that's flexible and modular. It's called 'PaperFold'.

Each screen, pictured, can be removed so users can fold the device into various shapes that range from a notebook shape to a foldout map. It automatically recognises its shape and changes its graphics to provide different functionality upon shape changes
Image via dailymail.co.uk

The PaperFold lets users fold open up to three flexible electrophoretic displays to provide extra screen real estate when needed. Displays are detachable such that users can fold the device into various shapes that can range from an ultra notebook shape to a fold-out map.

        phonearena.com

With this device comes a set of three e-ink displays, which are attached together with magnets. When combined, they work together as part of a single system, but can also function individually, and in multiple shape arrangements.

        slashgear.com

PaperFold can be made smaller for texting, or larger for reading maps, and can even be turned into a laptop

Image via thinkdigit.com

The idea behind the smartphone is fairly simple: adding displays gives users extra screen space for times that call for it, whether it is looking at information while chatting, seeing a map spread out across the table, or arranging the smartphone into a laptop-like shape.

        dailymail.co.uk

Additionally, folding the PaperFold into the shape of a building from Google's 3D flyover maps picks up a Google SketchUp model that's available for 3D-printing

Elsewhere, shaping PaperFold into a convex globe shows the map in Google Earth view, while putting PaperFold into the shape of a 3D building when viewing a map, pictured, will pick up a Google SketchUp model of the building and turn the device into an model that can be 3D printed
Image via dailymail.co.uk

When displaying Google Maps, the map can be displayed over three displays when folded flat like a paper map. By folding the map into a convex globe shape, the view dynamically switches to Google Earth view. Further folding so that the shape of the device resembles that of a building on the map switches the view to a 3D SketchUp model of the displayed building ready to be sent to a 3D printer.

        gizmag.com

"In PaperFold, each display tile can act independently or as part of a single system," said Dr Vertegaal, a professor in the School of Computing and Director of the Human Media Lab. "It allows multiple device form factors, providing support for mobile tasks that require large screen real estate or keyboards on demand, while retaining an ultra-compact, ultra-thin and lightweight form factor."

        cnet.com.au

The phone can automatically recognise its configuration and change how it displays information based on that configuration

For example, folding the device into a notebook shape opens up a keyboard on the bottom screen. PaperFold owners could use this to create documents, or type an address search on Google Maps displayed on the top screen, pictured
Image via dailymail.co.uk

For example, opening it up like a notebook changes the bottom display into a keyboard for typing — to perform web searches. Other configurations include flattening, which opens a Google map view across all three flattened screens; folding into the shape of a building, which will display the Google SketchUp model of the building that can be 3D printed; or, viewing an album of thumbnails, flipping the right side up and down will flip through the thumbnails shown on the left in full-screen.

        thinkdigit.com

PaperFold is only a prototype at the moment and the researchers have not revealed details about whether it will go on sale commercially

The HML's director, Dr. Vertegaal, explained that his team is looking after modelling the versatile qualities of traditional paper into electronic devices. "PaperFold demonstrates how form could equal function in malleable mobile devices." - explained the scientist. Although it's in its early stages, the technology definitely shows a promising start. If anything, perhaps foldable e-ink displays will completely replace newspapers someday.

11 Kitchen Renovation Disasters We Hope Your Contractor Won't Make

If you’ve ever had to plan renovation works for your own home, you’d probably know exactly what it’s like to liaise with contractors...

Image via Giphy

... and how hard it is to get something right, because there’s always a chance that things could go very, very wrong, like in the case of these disastrous designs:

1. This kitchen drawer that is almost impossible to access

Image via A_burning_nebula | Reddit

If you're planning on having an extended countertop, make sure your drawer isn't directly underneath it.

2. The fridge that got stranded on an island

Image via Neuroprncss | Imgur

Image via Neuroprncss | Imgur

Refrigerators aren't meant to live on islands.

3. This diagonal beam that you’ll definitely walk into everyday

Image via DewayneJones | Reddit

Why would you even put something like that in the kitchen? Or is it supposed to be a slide for your kid to play on while you cook?

4. Or this vertical beam right at the centre of the kitchen

Image via The_Funky_Gibbon1711 | Reddit

Of all places!

5. The world's tiniest kitchen island

Image via Ugly House Photos

If you don't have enough room for a proper kitchen island, skip it.

6. The kitchen sink perfect for washing long, rectangular pots

Image via DavidTheWin | Reddit

The sink is one of the unsung heroes of the kitchen. Make sure your pots can fit into it, or the person doing the dishes will be in for a wet ride.

7. The door that leads to... Narnia?

Image via ZugNachPankow | Reddit

Or maybe it’s a special entrance for the pizza delivery guy.

8. The fridge that won't open

Image via Dino0986 | Reddit

I guess you're gonna have to keep everything in the freezer.

9. This stove that always burns the countertop and wall

Image via Tds819 | Reddit

Wood + fire = bad idea.

10. The kitchen with that awkward space

Image via Homify

Never leave awkward holes in your layout, even when you’re redoing your kitchen in The Sims.

11. These kitchen drawers that can never fully open

Image via Neatorama

Imagine the frustration of having to reach inside these drawers to retrieve your kitchen utensils.

All in all, kitchen renovation is an art that requires skill and great attention to detail

So the next time you plan on renovating your kitchen, make sure you get the right man for the job
