75YO Uncle In Melaka Makes Only RM5 A Day Selling Yau Char Kwai Because Of MCO

It is common knowledge that the making of yau char kwai is a gruelling task

Not only does one have to knead a large amount of dough with strength, but the person also has to stand in front of a fiery wok for a long period of time just to fry the dough until it turns golden brown.

That is why when a netizen shared that an elderly man in Melaka is selling yau char kwai six days a week at the age of 75, the post quickly went viral and garnered sympathy from fellow Malaysians

Sharing the senior citizen's predicament on Facebook on 3 June, netizen Allycia Soh posted a video showing the old man waving his hands to ask passers-by to support his business while frying yau char kwai."The most chilling thing is that sometimes the elderly man sells it for the whole afternoon and only makes RM5. He couldn't even make back the cost," Soh wrote in the caption."The business is very bleak during MCO (Movement Control Order). Not only is he not making money, but he also loses money for running the business."In the video, the elderly man can be heard telling Soh that he "does not even have salary" and that "it's extremely difficult to sell (yau char kwai) these days".He also says he cannot finish selling the fried goods every day. Soh said the elderly man had to throw away the fresh ingredients because of poor business.The elderly man also — like many uncle vendors we meet in real life — boasts to Soh how well his yau char kwai is fried. He knocks one of them on the oil draining tray, causing it to break in two just to show how crispy and tender it is.

"The uncle said every piece of yau char kwai is made with care. He controls the fire well and the dough is very well mixed," added Soh

"(Does the yau char kwai) look good?" asks the elderly man after explaining the importance of the heat that the wok receives to Soh and other customers at the premises.Soh answers that the yau char kwai looks pretty, while later on she writes in the caption that she can see the elderly man puts a lot of love into every yau char kwai he fries.She said the elderly man used to sell mangoes by the roadsides. However, after he moved to the area in Melaka, many of his old customers were unaware."On top of that, due to the pandemic, business is even harder for him. Just to make enough money to eat and survive is already a challenge," she said.She also heard a vendor next to the elderly man's stall saying that he always pants for air while kneading the dough.

Image via Allycia Soh (Facebook)

Speaking to SAYS, Soh said that after her post went viral with over 44,000 shares, she visited the elderly man's stall again and found that his business has gotten better

"He can sell up to 100 pieces a day at most. After deducting the rent, he only earns a small amount that is enough to cover his living expenses," Soh told this SAYS writer."He goes to the stall at 10am to start kneading the dough. When he is done closing the stall, it is already 5pm. It is tiring for him."She urged netizens to support the elderly man's business, saying each yau char kwai is priced only at RM1. He used to sell red bean paste doughnuts as well, but due to poor business, he decided to only sell one item to avoid wastage.Soh said the elderly man's stall is located inside a kopitiam in Malim Jaya, the central Melaka district, behind a Caltex petrol station and a Starbucks outlet."A lot of the stalls in the kopitiam are closed, so maybe you can't find him. But actually, the uncle is selling in there," she noted.He starts selling yau char kwai at 2pm until it runs out and rests every Wednesday.

Image via Allycia Soh (Facebook)

At the time of writing, Soh's post has garnered almost 10,000 likes and 2,000 comments

In the comment section, Soh dismissed many comments that claimed that the elderly man does not change his cooking oil used to fry the yau char kwai."The wok is heated for a long period time, (that is why) the bottom of the wok turned black, so the oil will also look darker. Uncle said that it can't be brushed off even though he tried to brush it many times. Hope you all understand," she said.

Image via Facebook

Meanwhile, thousands of netizens lauded the elderly man for his diligence while urging people in Melaka to support his business."People passing by, please stop and buy. It can not only help uncle but also fill your own stomach, why not do it?" said a Facebook user, while another added, "You are great, pretty! Thank you for sharing. I hope uncle's yau char kwai can be sold out every day.""Are there any friends in Melaka who can help buy something (from the uncle) and send it to the nearby orphanage? I can transfer money to you," commented a netizen.

"Islam Teaches Us To Be Loving" — Ustaz Shares Why It's Important To Care For Stray Dogs

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

Ustaz Mohammad Abdul Razak is a local religious teacher who grew up in a conservative family and was taught to be scared of dogs

But he's now a self-confessed animal lover.Hailing from Negeri Sembilan, he — as a vocal advocate of reforming Malaysia's laws regarding animal cruelty — feels responsible to educate the public against any form of animal abuse.Ustaz Muhammad spoke to MyForeverDoggo, an online platform dedicated to finding homes for stray dogs, where he shared how ignorance has led people to be cruel to dogs.According to him, he has been chased by dogs before, but still feels pity for them."I feel responsible. Especially as a religious person and an ustaz, I feel that I'm responsible to educate the public in providing a real perception of homeless animals, especially dogs," the ustaz said, adding, "as they are the victims of discrimination and the victims of cruelty by ignorant people.""There are many cases of abuse towards stray dogs. They are poisoned, beaten, and burnt. And such things still happen despite our efforts to spread awareness and educate the people," he rued.

He emphasised that enforcement against dog abuse needs to be improved

He gave examples where perpetrators of dog abuse have gone scot-free and faced no legal repercussions, and how strong legal action will play a crucial role in stopping animal abuse in the country."This is the way to solve this issue," he said.The ustaz also suggested that fatwas can be used to help solve the problem."Aside from advocacy, advice, education, etc., if there's something that we do call a problem, it will be the need for a fatwa to be changed," Ustaz Muhammad said.For context, a fatwa is a ruling on a point of Islamic law given by a recognised authority.

Ustaz Muhammad also shared that he hopes, in the future, Malaysians will have a different outlook on the issue of touching dogs

"[There is] a phenomenon whereby many of our Muslim and Malay friends are now involved in dog rescue and welfare. This is a phenomenon that to me is mankind returning to fitrah, where humans return to their innate nature in which Allah created them, which is compassionate, loving, and human," he expressed."Islam also teaches us to be loving," he said while asking people to love all beings.

An 8-Year-Old Malaysian Kid Used WeChat For Porn. Now She's Creating Sex Groups Herself

In a shocking turn of events, it was revealed that another Malaysian kid has become a victim to sexual predators. She is only eight.

Social activist Syed Azmi Al Habsh shared in a Facebook post yesterday, 21 December, about how the child's mother has reached out to him after she was devastated by the discovery that her daughter has been sending and receiving pornographic material.According to Syed Azmi, the mother had bought a tablet for her daughter to use earlier this month. The eight-year-old downloaded the popular messaging and calling application WeChat.

The mother was taken aback when she realised that her daughter has been involved in online sex chats

An image of the conversation between the eight-year-old kid (in green) with a stranger (in white).

A check by the mother revealed that her daughter was conversing with unknown men on WeChat, and the conversations are filled with inappropriate and sexual contents. "The mum saw this last Monday. This is not just a screenshot page. There are many pages and (sic) about the same and pictures which (are) mostly porn from the adult stranger," Syed Azmi said, adding that the child sent a photograph of adults sexual acts to the stranger.However, what's worse is the fact that things escalated to another level, where the child and the stranger had actually proceeded to go on a voice call.Yet, what's even more disturbing is what the mother told Syed Azmi afterwards.

"Her profile picture (on WeChat) is pornographic. She started to forward those (pornographic) photos to initiate chats. My body trembles at the thought of the disaster that is about to happen. Now she's creating sex groups herself."

"When I look at my child's behaviour, I feel like hitting her. Angry. But I know that's not the best way to solve things. I did not do anything. I only teased her and asked if she wanted to get married and that I could get her to get married quickly," she told Syed Azmi. Noting the severity of the issue, Syed Azmi has urged the mother to lodge a police report, to which she did."Do understand that you can't trace the (user's) number on WeChat. But if the GPS location is on, there is a 'friend finder' option for people to find you. Basically, most would look at the (profile) photo," he said.

Even with many other parents reaching out to him with their own stories, Syed Azmi still could not contain his own surprise and shock at this new revelation

"The girl must have picked it up from somewhere. She needs help. Who taught her all this? What is going on with her life? Why did the mum joke about marrying her?" "The girl does need therapy. But their socioeconomic background needs to be checked as well. Location, distance, transport, affordability and charges. Easy to ask. Not easy to apply," he said. "This case is not over. She is an excellent student and this is worrying. Once the mother is ok, have to guide her to help her daughter," he added.

Netizens, particularly parents, are on high alert now with many suggesting stricter parenting control over children. Some are also advocating the ban of WeChat.

KKM Teliti Hukuman Penjara Atau Denda Bagi Individu Tidak Memakai Face Mask Di Tempat Awam

Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) kini sedang meneliti cadangan sama ada akan mengenakan denda sebanyak RM1,000 atau penjara buat individu yang tidak memakai face mask di tempat awam

Menurut laporan, perkara tersebut telah dibincangkan oleh Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan, Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah yang turut berkata bahawa dua hukuman itu kini sedang dipertimbangkan untuk dilaksanakan sebelum mewajibkan pemakaian pelitup muka tersebut.Tambahan pula, beliau berkata pengenalan dua hukuman itu termaktub dalam Akta Pencegahan dan Pengawalan Penyakit Berjangkit 1988 (Akta 342).

Jelas beliau lagi, jika berada di tempat awam, setiap individu harus memakai pelitup muka jika penjarakan sosial sukar dijalankan

"Kementerian Kesihatan sangat menggalakkan pemakaian pelitup muka terutama di kawasan awam. Sekarang kita masih belum mewajibkan. "Kalau kita wajibkan dalam Akta 342, jadi kita akan pertimbangkan sebab individu itu akan dikenakan denda kalau tak pakai pelitup muka iaitu RM1,000 atau pun boleh dipenjarakan."Jadi kita melihat kepada tindakan denda atau pun penjara bagi mereka yang tak pakai pelitup muka. Itu yang kita sedang teliti sebelum kita laksanakan untuk mewajibkan pakai pelitup muka," katanya.

Jadi, jika anda tak ingin dikenakan mana-mana hukuman di atas kerana tidak memakai pelitup muka, baiklah pakai.
Diri sendiri selamat, orang lain pun selamat, bukan?

[PHOTOS] How To Snorkel By Breathing Through Your Nose

This company created a snorkel mask that they call the 'Easybreath Snorkel Mask'

Designed by Tribord, the EasyBreath Snorkeling Mask gives users a 180-degree field of vision, ensuring they enjoy an unobstructed view of the sights in the water.

This snorkelling gear promises land-like breathing underwater

Rather than covering the user's eyes with goggles, and then using a separate tube for breathing through the mouth, Easybreath covers the WHOLE FACE

The system makes sure that the moist air exhaled is quickly removed and provides the added benefit that the mask, according to its French makers Triboard, will never fog up.

        dailymail.co.uk

The snorkel tube, which stays above water and releases the exhaled breaths, also features a special valve that seals the tube when the mask is completely submerged.

        dailymail.co.uk

Goggles used with traditional snorkels can cut off peripheral vision, but Easybreath’s design allows the user to see a much wider view.

In another attempt to redesign the snorkel mask, a South Korean designer unveiled a mask which claims to "instantly transform the user into a human fish

The mask, dubbed Triton, acts like a fish gill to extract oxygen from water so that the user can keep on breathing while under the sea.

The device relies on "future" batteries with 30 times the capacity of current batteries, Yeon said.

#LeaveSajatAlone: 7 Things To Know About The Entrepreneur Being Hunted By The M'sian Govt

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

Cosmetics entrepreneur Nur Sajat is back in the limelight after she was arrested in Thailand following a tip-off by Malaysian authorities

According to New Straits Times, Sajat was arrested by Thai immigration on 8 September. Sources revealed to Harian Metro that the 36-year-old businesswoman was apprehended at a luxury condominium in Bangkok, where she had been staying with a local man.The source also alleged that she has been hiding at the residence since early March.

Image via Info Rakyat

Sajat's arrest comes after she had failed to show up for a court proceeding in February this year, leading Syarie judge Mohammad Khalid Shaee @ Shaii to issue an arrest warrant against her

The entrepreneur has been under intense scrutiny by both local authorities and netizens as early as 2016 after she publicly announced that she identifies as a woman.Since coming out, she has been on the receiving end of cyberbullying and death threats. Her plight as a transperson has often been reported by international media.

Here are 7 things to get you up to speed on Sajat's plight:

1. Sajat said she was born a 'khunsa'

Image via Murai

Sajat started receiving hate after she came out in April 2016. In an Instagram post, she said she was born a 'khunsa', a Malay word for someone who is intersex – meaning they were born with both male and female sex organs."My life started when I was born in 1985. My father was a Malaysian navy and my mother was a laboratory assistant," SEISMIK quoted her as saying at the time."I was born in a hospital in Lumut, Perak. That's where my history began.""At 10.30am, I was born. My doctor, nurse, and father were shocked by my extraordinary birth. I (Sajat) had two genitals. That time, everyone panicked. My father and mother didn't know what to do."She said she was raised in a masculine manner, but she had always preferred to do what women normally do. She thought it was normal until she had to go to kindergarten.She shared that she was afraid to go to the toilet at that time because her friends might see that she had two genitals, thinking, "People will say I am disabled later."Because of that, she refrained from using the toilet throughout her elementary years, causing her to develop kidney stones at the age of six.She also mentioned in the post that she adopted two children — a girl and a boy. She thanked God for the blessing and said she loves the children even though she is not their biological parent.Astro Awani reported that prior to the Instagram post, Sajat was already popular as she had begun wearing the hijab after surviving from an accident.Presently, Sajat's Instagram account can no longer be found. She used to have at least 1.4 million followers on her Instagram account.

2. Sajat posted a 'confirmation letter' that says she is now a woman

Image via Astro Awani

About a year after her shocking post, she had in February 2017 uploaded a photo of a 'confirmation letter' from KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital stating that 'Sajjad' is now a woman."I have examined the above named at the Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital, who is now by gender a woman," read the letter signed by Dr Katheeja Alavi Syed Alavi Thangal.At that time, the letter raised eyebrows as many doubted its authenticity. Attempts to verify the letter by Astro Awani found that the doctor had retired from the hospital three years prior.

3. Sajat drew backlash for wearing women's prayer clothing while performing the Islamic pilgrimage in Mecca

Image via Beautiful Nara

In early February 2020, Sajat was criticised for wearing female clothing while she was in Mecca, the holiest city in Islam.At that time, she uploaded photos of herself donning the telekung, and jubah with hijab, as she walked on the holy ground. One photo captured her children standing in front of her with the Kaaba in the background.Her action caused a huge uproar from both Mecca and Malaysia. According to Free Malaysia Today, the travel agency that managed Sajat's trip said they instructed Sajat to be taken out of Mecca.They also told her to apologise for the controversy.Meanwhile, back home, then Islamic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa said Sajat's action could harm relations between Putrajaya and Riyadh, the political and administrative centre of Saudi Arabia, reported The Arab News.The minister under the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government also said he had requested the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to ban Sajat's social media accounts, reported The Straits Times.Mujahid claimed her actions had given a bad image to the religion and the country. He also advised Sajat to return to the right path as a man, reported Malaysia Gazette.During the peak of the controversy, Sajat's photos attracted more than 5,000 comments, most of them hate speech. Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, in response, chided those who condemned the entrepreneur. He said even though it was wrong for Sajat to wear female clothing in Islam, Muslims should counsel her instead of saying she was cursed by God, reported Free Malaysia Today.

Meanwhile, prominent Turkish scholar Mustafa Akyol urged religious authorities in Malaysia to leave Sajat alone."The fact that Nur Sajat went for umrah shows that she is devoted to her religion. She also probably didn't disturb any other fellow Muslims around her on holy ground. So, why not respect the way she identifies herself?" said the US-based scholar who is a strong advocate of free speech in the Muslim world.He also gave an example that in Iran, sex-change operations are not only legal but even encouraged. Mustafa urged Malaysia not to take action against Sajat and that Muslims need to accommodate transpersons as part of the ummah.

4. 122 officers were sent on a 'witch hunt' for Sajat after she did not show up for a court proceeding

Image via JAIS

On 6 January, Sajat was charged under Section 10(a) of the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment (Selangor) 1995 as her act of cross-dressing is said to have brought contempt to Islam.During the mention of the case on 23 February, Sajat failed to show up at court. In response, the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) mobilised about 122 personnel to find and arrest Sajat, reported Malay Mail.The elaborated move was criticised by Justice for Sisters (JFS), saying JAIS had misplaced their overzealousness to arrest someone who was merely expressing herself."We are astonished by the financial and human resources that are being allocated for this search and arrest operation against Sajat," said the non-governmental organisation (NGO)."All these actions by JAIS are extreme and demonstrate their overzealousness in arresting and detaining Sajat at all costs for merely expressing herself and her gender identity."JFS also stated Sajat's charge can be seen as a sign of the Selangor government criminalising and not recognising trans, intersex, and non-binary persons.Meanwhile, South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported activists as saying that the deployment of over 100 officers to find and arrest Sajat can be seen as a move to intimidate the LGBT community in Malaysia.

5. Sajat said she wanted to renounce her faith

Following a series of incidents and brushes with authorities, Sajat said that she wanted to leave Islam in a livestream in early March."I'm not saying this as a threat. By oath for the sake of my name, my father's name, and my mother's name, I no longer want to be a Muslim. I want to leave Islam," she said to some 300 audience members who tuned in to her Instagram livestream."It would be better like this. I'm not joking, I'm serious. They were the ones who made me want to quit the religion. They further pushed me away from Islam.""They thought that the things that did could teach me a lesson, but no. I became more terrified, I feel it's better for me to leave Islam. Because I was born a Muslim and I just followed everything my mother taught me, I did. Turns out... I don't know."The video was perhaps the most controversial as of yet. SCMP reported that Sajat received death threats after the video was published.The Hong Kong-based daily sighted a comment saying they wanted "to stone" her.Human rights activists said the public reaction to the video is "concerning" as there had been violence and murders against the transgender community in Malaysia every year for the past decade.Commenting on Sajat's no-show at the court, her lawyer Zuri Zabuddin Budiman said his client was probably "terrified"."Sajat feels [she] would not get a fair trial. I urge Sajat to show up before the next court proceeding on 1 June. I am here ready to fight and defend [her]," he said.

While it is popularly known that Thailand has an LGBT-friendly front, Sajat's recent arrest by Thai authorities is reportedly because of having an an invalid passport, The Star reported Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director CP Datuk Seri Abd Jalil Hassan as saying.According to Harian Metro, her passport has been revoked by Malaysian authorities.Currently, Sajat has been released on bail after paying RM8,343 for immigration-related offences, which she was charged for in a Thai court. She has to report to the authorities once every 14 days.Sources told the Malay daily that Sajat "is getting permission to move and take refuge in Australia".It is understood that she currently holds a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) card and claims that she is a refugee.The source added that Sajat's real motivation to escape to Australia is because she received death threats after announcing that she will be leaving Islam.The CID director also said that Sajat is wanted for criminal intimidation and preventing civil servants from performing their duties, reported The Star.

Sajat's arrest in Thailand has sparked a #LeaveSajatAlone and #FreeSajat movement back home.On Twitter, political satire artist Fahmi Reza and human rights activist Michelle Yesudas have publicly called the authorities to #LeaveSajatAlone.A tweet by Marina Mahathir captured over 1,700 likes about the issue. The former premier's daughter said she could only hope Malaysian authorities put in as much effort into finding Indira Gandhi's daughter or fugitive financier Low Taek Jho.

The Story of a Man Who Cut Off His Testicles and Delayed a Wedding

The man used a pair of scissors to cut off his testicles at All Saints Church

A British wedding was delayed after a man stormed into the church and hacked off his testicles. The self-mutilator ran into Hutton All Saints Church near Brentwood in Essex with a pair of scissors and started throwing chairs around.

        dailystar.co.uk

As the horrified vicar looked on, he then cut away his private parts just an hour before the ceremony was due to start.

        jezebel.com

The unidentified man was rushed to the hospital, and early guests at All Saints Church were denied entry until the bloody mess was cleaned up

The man, who has not been identified, was rushed to hospital shortly after the horrific incident on Saturday morning. Guests arriving early at the venue were blocked from entering before the bloody mess had been cleaned up.

        nydailynews.com

But one man said he sneaked a peak and was shocked to see slices of genitals still lying on the floor.

        ibtimes.com

"When I went in the church, I saw something which I'd only describe as flesh. I thought [it] was part of his arm, but that was one of his testicles," he told the Brentwood Weekly News.

        thetimes.co.uk

"[The vicar] said the man chopped his testicles off with a pair of scissors and was going bezerk, chucking chairs around. I'm surprised he didn't pass out," he added.

        nydailynews.com

The wedding went on later that day anyway, and the bride did not learn what delayed her big moment until afterward

Cops wanted to close the building so that they could investigate further, but the wedding still went later, reports the Brentwood Gazette. The bride was not told about what had caused the delay until after that day.

A Pregnant Woman Jumped To Her Death After Family Didn't Allow Her To Have A C-Section

In a tragic incident occurred last week in Shaanxi Province in northern China, a pregnant woman committed suicide by jumping from a fifth-floor hospital window after her family reportedly refused to give their consent to let her have a caesarean section

According to a report in a Chinese news portal, SupChina, the 26-year-old woman, surnamed Ma, who was 41-week pregnant, was sent to the maternity ward of a hospital in Shaanxi Province last Thursday.The hospital, after the initial diagnosis, found that the fetal head was very large and vaginal birth was very risky. However, after the doctor explained the situation to Yan, Ma's husband, and suggested a C-section, the husband's family insisted on a natural birth, refusing to give their permission for a cesarean.In China, family members have to give permission a patient undergoes surgery.While the hospital repeatedly tried to get the family to grant permission for the operation, the family refused surgery, preferring to continue monitoring the situation.

The woman herself walked out of Yulin No 1 Hospital's maternity ward twice to plead with her family, to let her have a caesarean because she could no longer bear the pain. Still, the family refused.

After failing to convince her family, the pregnant woman jumped from the hospital building. Both mother and child were killed.

Her husband, after being accused of indirectly causing his wife's death, now claims otherwise

According to the husband, when his wife had asked to have a C-section, he had agreed immediately. However, it was the doctor who checked Ma's condition who said she was going to give birth soon and did not need a C-section, he alleged.

The hospital says they have documentary evidence showing Ma's family refused to give consent for a C-section on three occasions

According to a report by South China Morning Post, photographs of the documents were included in a Weibo post, along with an image of another form signed by the couple that gave Ma’s husband sole responsibility to authorise any surgical procedures she needed to undergo.

‘Honour Killing’ — Father In India Murders Daughter After She Married Without His Approval

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

In India, 21-year-old Aayushi Chaudhary was shot dead by her father, Nitesh Kumar Yadav, 49, for marrying a man he did not approve of

According to The Indian Express, the victim was a student of Bachelor of Computer Applications at the Delhi Global Institute of Technology. She lived with her family in Badarpur, a town in south east Delhi district. She was allegedly shot in cold blood by her father, Yadav, using a licensed .32 calibre pistol during an altercation with her parents over her revelation of a secret marriage to a man from another caste. Aayushi's body was kept in the house for a day, before it was purported that her mother, Brijbala, helped her husband dispose of the body. They wrapped the body in plastic, stuffed it into a red suitcase, and then dumped it along the Yamuna Expressway, near Mathura city in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. Her body was later discovered by authorities on 18 November.Two days later, an anonymous source led the police to Badarpur, where the parents of the murdered woman stayed. The two have since been taken into police custody upon suspicion of murder.

Yadav confessed he killed his daughter for the sake of family pride

Police grew suspicious as Aayushi's parents each gave statements that contradicted one another. Eventually, as the interrogation wore on, Yadav broke down and admitted to the crime."[Yadav] confessed that he was forced to kill [his daughter] for the sake of family pride [because] she married a man named Chhatrapal Gurjar, [a man] from another caste, without telling her family. It is a case of 'honour killing'," said Raya police station Inspector Om Hari Bajpai, as reported by the Times of India.Police also stated that during the argument, in a bid to convince her parents to accept her marriage, Aayushi told them she was pregnant. However this backfired, as her father became even more enraged, leading to him pulling out his pistol and shooting her on the spot. Her parents expressed that news of this pregnancy would leave them unable to face friends and relatives.Bajpai added that the victim had injuries all over her head, face, and body, suggesting she might have been beaten before she was shot twice in the chest by her father.

Yadav and his wife had long been aggrieved with their daughter's "independent style" of living

They were unaware that she had married Gurjar, 24, last year. She spent long periods of time away from home, much to the anger of her father.Aayushi's father eventually told police he was torn with "deep regret" for killing his daughter, claiming he committed the crime "in a fit of rage".

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

Owner Covers Dog With Tattoos To "Protect It From Cancer"

An image has surfaced online showing a pet dog that appears to have tattoos on its nose, ears, and next to its eyes

Image via Metro

The bull terrier appears to have tattoos of an anchor, a knuckleduster and a diamond on its nose. It also has star tattoos just underneath its eyes and the logo of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team on both ears.

Its owner, a tattoo artist from Brazil, has been accused of animal cruelty over the picture

Tattoo artist Emerson Damasceno.
Image via Metro

According to The Sun, Damasceno quickly deleted the picture after a Brazilian lawyer spotted it and shared it on social media.

He insisted that the tattoos had only been put there because he believed they would "protect the animal from cancer"

His girlfriend also defended him and claimed the dog was only inked after being seen by vets in the city of Posos de Caldas, Brazil.

However, vets have come forward and claimed that  the tattoos have no obvious benefits and it even might cause problems

It is unclear if police are currently investigating the incident for animal cruelty.

Do you think it was right for the owner to cover his dog with tattoos? Let us know what you think in the comment section below!


Masuk Universiti Pergi Dan Balik Kelas Saja Ke? Ini 7 Perkara Yang Anda Perlu Buat

Kami percaya zaman belajar adalah antara zaman yang paling berharga dalam hidup kita. Orang cakap waktu inilah kita baru nak kenal erti dunia, jumpa orang baru dan raih pengalaman sebanyak-banyaknya.

Sesudah tamat pengajian, pastinya kita mahu ke peringkat seterusnya iaitu alam pekerjaan. Tetapi biasalah, bukan senang nak dapat pekerjaan pada zaman sekarang. Segalanya memerlukan pengalaman. Jadi, sejak di alam universiti lagi anda perlu mencari pengalaman tersebut yang menjadikan anda lain daripada lain semasa sesi temuduga nanti. Bagaimana caranya?

Mari kita ikuti perkongsian daripada Khairul Hakimin Muhammad ini tentang 7 perkara yang perlu anda lakukan semasa menuntut di universiti

Apabila kau sudah pun masuk ke alam university, perkara pertama yang kau perlu fikir ialah adakah segala apa yang kau belajar itu akan keluar juga semasa kau kerja. Walau ramai antara kau yang suka belajar pagi petang siang malam, cuba kau perhatikan dalam setiap 20-30 orang, akan ada seorang dua yang kaki part-time buat kerja macam-macam.Mereka ini yang patut kau berkawan. Biasanya pengalaman inilah yang buat kau ada nilai istimewa semasa kau mahukan pekerjaan di tempat baru.

        facebook.com

1. Ambil kerja part-time

Ambil kerja part-time, masukkan pengalaman itu dalam resume kau. Sebagai contoh, semasa kau belajar tiga tahun, kau kerja di empat tempat. Kedai Makan Zamir (pelayan, 2010-2011), Farid Catering (Pemotong Ayam, 2011), Stesen Minyak Firdaus (2011-2012), BookCafe Acap (2012-2013).Tak usah kau malu-malu, orang yang menemuduga kau akan seronok melihat kau memang seorang yang berdedikasi mencari duit. Independent yang power kata orang.

        facebook.com

2. Asingkan dunia sebagai pelajar dan pekerja

Semasa kau mengambil kerja part-time, kau asingkan dunia kau yang kau juga seorang pelajar. Semasa kau belajar, kau belajar. Beri tumpuan 100% di dalam dewan kuliah dan kelas. Pastikan kau scorer macam abang. Dalam setiap semester, kau kena maintain 3.0. Bagaimana kau nak lakukan semua itu apabila kau kena kerja? Aha, ini rahsianya:Kau susun jadual kelas. Dari jam 8 pagi hingga 6 petang. Jika ada selang dengan maksimum 1 jam, kau belajar di perpustakaan. Kau jangan sekali-kali ambil job pada waktu ini. Tumpu pada belajar. Jumpa lecturer dan melepak dengan kawan-kawan bincang hal kuiz bagai.Jika waktu senggang kelas kau lebih 3 jam, barulah kau boleh ambil job. Ingat, jika waktu kau sempit, kau akan berkejar-kejar dan tumpuan dalam kelas kau akan kelaut.

        facebook.com

3. Asah skil-skil yang ada

Waktu kau bekerja part-time ini juga adalah masa untuk kau mengasah skil-skil yang patut kau ada untuk kau masuk dalam alam pekerjaan sebenar nanti. Walau syarikat yang kau kerja itu kecil, kau dah boleh mula belajar.Kau lihat bagaimana kau diterima kerja, prosesnya, proses gajinya, jika ada konflik bagaimana majikan kau selesaikan. Dan kau kena faham, kau tak boleh masuk campur. Yang kau perlu buat ialah belajar dan hadam. Observe sebanyak mana ilmu yang kau boleh dapat, dan fahamkan semuanya.

Image via www.amdi.usm.my

4. Elakkan lepak dan kurangkan tidur yang berlebihan

Elakkan lepak-lepak berlebih semasa belajar. Tidur pun kau kena kurangkan. Rugi besar apabila zaman kau beruniversiti, kau menangkan semangat tidur kau. Sedangkan kau sendiri tahu jika kau tidur, duit tak masuk. Malah kau mungkin boleh terlepas kelas. Kau akan rugi 2-2.Asasnya ialah kau kena fokus dengan apa yang kau lakukan. Buat dua jadual. 1 jadual kelas, 1 lagi jadual kerja. Pastikan dua-duanya berjalan dengan baik. Kau akan jadi manusia yang aktif, dan inilah ciri-ciri yang majikan sebenar kau akan cari walau kau tak ada pengalaman langsung dalam dunia pekerjaan sebenar.

        facebook.com

Image via katib75.wordpress.com

5. Sekali dua belikan makanan dan berikan kepada kawan-kawan

Lagi, dalam tempoh sebulan, ambillah sekali dua kau beli makanan dan kau beri kepada kawan-kawan atau sesiapa yang kau aim. Masa zaman belajar ini, kau utamakan kawan-kawan kau yang susah. Waktu inilah rezeki kau pada masa hadapan itu ditambah-tambah. Lebih cantik kau pusing kat bandar di tempat kau belajar, pasti ada gelandangan atau sesiapa sahaja yang memerlukan makanan. Kau bantulah. Kau akan dapat kenal diri kau yang kau manusia. Yang punya jiwa dan ada hati. Dan selepas itu kau lihatlah bagaimana rezeki mengenali kau.

        facebook.com

Image via naflyna.blogspot.com

6. Rajin-rajinlah melepak di masjid dan surau

Rajin-rajin melepak di surau atau masjid. Kau bersembanglah dengan pakcik-pakcik tua yang pun suka melepak di sana. Biasanya mereka ini bukan orang sebarang-sebarang. Orang pencen yang dulunya kerja bagus-bagus. Kau tanya macammana mereka bekerja. Walau kau power belajar, pengalaman mereka adalah satu nilai yang tidak ada siapa boleh bayar.

        facebook.com

Image via ikram.org.my

7. Jadi manusia

Akhir sekali, kau kena jadi manusia. Masa kau sudah habis belajar. Kau pergi cari kerja terus. Tak kiralah kau mahu jadi apa, utamakan poket kau supaya emak abah kau tak pening melihat kau. Emak kau hanya mahu kau bijak mencari duit, bukan kau terlentang berbaring kool dalam bilik tak berbuat apa-apa menanti syarikat menelefon kau untuk kau diterima ke temuduga.Carilah mana yang ada dulu waima kau perlu jadi pelayan ambil pesanan makanan minum di restoran.

        facebook.com

Image via themalaymail.online

Dan menurut saudara ini, jika anda faham belajar itu hanya ke kelas semata-mata, maka anda merupakan antara manusia malang yang diterima masuk ke universiti. Kenapa?

Jika waktu kau belajar, kau hanya faham yang maksud belajar itu adalah pergi ke kelas semata-mata. Maka kau merupakan antara manusia malang yang diterima masuk ke university. Belajar itu termasuk dalam hal-hal kau sudah pun berdikari, sudah keluar dari rumah emak ayah kau. Jadi kau perlu tanamkan dalam diri kau yang itulah permulaan kehidupan kau yang kau perlu pilih antara power atau hampas.Dan jika kau seorang lelaki, hal-hal begini tolonglah tidak malukan diri kau sendiri apabila kau tidak diterima temuduga kerana keputusan kau yang teruk, dan kau pula kaki tidur semasa zaman belajar, kelas hancur, duit pun tak ada dan terus menjadi tunggul dalam rumah yang reti buka peti ais jika lapar.Tolonglah jadi manusia yang rajinnya itu lebih banyak berbanding muka kau yang kacak.Khairul Hakimin MuhammadZaman Universiti, bercinta pun tak sempat.

[PHOTOS] How 150 Artists Turned An Old Village Into A Spectacular Outdoor Art Gallery

This past summer, the walls of Er-Riadh, a village on the island of Djerba off the coast of Tunisia, was transformed into an open-air art museum when 150 street artists from 30 different countries were invited to decorate the area with stunning works of graffiti

Once known as the “island of dreams,” Djerba is now one of Tunisia’s most popular tourist destinations. Scenic Er-Riadh, however, is off the tourist strip. Known for La Ghriba, Africa’s oldest synagogue, the village is a prominent pilgrimage site and home to a multicultural community.

        nytimes.com

For the past two months, 150 artists from 30 nations have been busy in the village of Erriadh, one of the oldest in Tunisia. They have been covering its buildings, gates, windows — almost any flat surface — in murals, in hopes of enticing tourists and infusing the area with new life.

        mashable.com

Before begining the project, 39-year-old Mehdi Ben Cheikh, founder of the French Galerie Itinerrance and organiser of the event, who didn't want to aggravate anyone, secured legal authorisation from the government and from private land owners

Ben Cheikh aimed to create a cultural crossroads here. “I wanted to do a project in Tunisia, but it was also a question of logistics,” he said. “I couldn’t send artists to the middle of nowhere. But also because Muslims, Christians and Jews have lived here in peace for the last 2,000 years or so. I’m not here to aggravate anyone, but to consolidate this aspect, which I find beautiful, and together with the natural beauty of the village, provides the artists with a unique canvas.” He claims it is the world’s first permanent street art project of its scale.

Painting began in June and was to continue to the beginning of September. The artists live in the village for a few days before the next group arrives. “At first, the locals didn’t really understand what I was trying to do,” Mr. Ben Cheikh said. “But this project isn’t about vandalism. It’s a real exhibition with a real scenography. I attribute the walls to the artists whose designs we approve together.”

        nytimes.com

There are more than 100 pieces woven into the village fabric, from calligraphy by the French-Tunisian street artist eL Seed, whimsical figures by the British artist Phlegm, a hand of Fatima by Alexis Diaz from Puerto Rico, to thought-provoking phrases by the Peruvian Elliott Tupac.

        nytimes.com

The artwork, however, isn't contained to the village. It extends across the arid landscape, close to the 18th-century Ben Ayed Palace and ruined prison a 10-minute drive away.

“I’d love to see the whole island of Djerba serve as a canvas for street art,” Mr. Ben Cheikh said. “I hope that the locals will keep the project alive by contributing to it after we leave.”

        nytimes.com

The Er-Riadh project spawned some controversy when the Itinerrance team first arrived. But the locals have adapted. Anis Tannich, a 33-year-old resident, said: “It’s true that some inhabitants weren’t too happy about the artwork at first because it’s something they had never seen before, but most are now overjoyed. I’ve lived here all my life and for the first time people from all over the world are coming to our village. It’s something we can be proud of.”

Demi Abadikan Cinta Jarak Jauh, Pasangan Ini Hasilkan Seni Kolaj Yang Sangat 'Impressive'

Perkenalkan pasangan merpati dua sejoli dari Korea Selatan Li Seok dan Shin Danbi

Li Seok (kiri) dan Shin Danbi.
Image via www.shinli-art.com

Mereka berdua adalah pasangan yang bekerjasama dalam menyampaikan karya seni mereka setiap hari kepada orang ramai

Image via www.shinli-art.com

Kerjasama mereka dicipta melalui minat mendalam Shin Danbi terhadap seni, digabungkan dengan teknik media profesional Li Seok bagi menghasilkan seni moden era baru. Hasil seni mereka disampaikan menerusi medium seni eksklusif yang diberi nama ShinLiArt.

Pasangan ini kini tinggal berjauhan dan menjalani long distance relationship di mana Shin Danbi bertugas di New York, USA, manakala Li Seok tinggal di Seoul, Korea Selatan

Image via www.shinli-art.com

Bagi mana-mana pasangan sekalipun, pasti agak sukar untuk menjalinkan hubungan cinta apabila berada jauh antara satu sama lain. Betul tak?

Tetapi, hubungan jarak jauh mereka berdua tidak disia-siakan begitu saja. Sebagai anak seni, mereka menghasilkan satu projek baru yang dipanggil 'Half&half' bagi menterjemah 'dua foto dengan situasi sama pada dua lokasi berbeza' dalam bentuk collage.

Image via Instagram @shinliart

'Half&half' merupakan projek collage Shin Danbi dan Li Seok yang menggabungkan dua gambar di dua lokasi berbeza dengan tujuan berkongsi kehidupan seharian mereka.Idea projek ini tercetus apabila kedua-dua mereka tertanya-tanya apakah yang boleh mereka wujudkan sementara tinggal berjauhan. Daripada mensia-siakan peluang dan masa, lebih baik menghasilkan sesuatu seni yang bermakna.

MP Wants First-Class Graduates To Repay PTPTN Loans Because They Can Afford It

Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming thinks that PTPTN loan borrowers who graduate with first-class honours should not be exempted from repaying their loans.
The DAP lawmaker thinks that students who graduate with the highest honours classification usually get high-paying jobs that would allow them to repay their loans.

Ong said that the National Higher Education Fund Corporation's (PTPTN) move to allow students who graduate with first-class honours to convert their loans into full scholarships is a non-progressive move, as reported by The Malay Mail Online yesterday, 19 December. The exemption has caused the corporation problems and losses due to this he added."From a progressive point of view, this is a very bad policy," said Ong at a forum titled, 'Sustainability of the PTPTN Loan Scheme' organised by think tank, Penang Institute, as quoted by The Malay Mail Online.

He claimed that researches in developing countries show that students from above average income groups have a higher possibility of graduating with first-class honours

"Let’s say out of 10,000 students, a hundred of them graduate first class. Most of these 100 graduates are those from the above average income group," added Ong. According to him, these students from middle to high income families are usually equipped with relevant resources like laptops and reading materials from a young age which allows them to better prepare before going into tertiary education.

Moreover, based on Ong's observations, first-class graduates usually earn higher starting salaries. This, he says, would not exactly help the ones that are not able to pay their loans back.
"There needs to be an awareness that the system rewards those with better off families and those who are better equipped to repay their loans," explained Ong.

In 2015 alone, PTPTN's loan exemptions amounted to RM841 million.It was also reported that PTPTN had provided a total of RM59.67 billion worth of loans to 2.6 million students up to November 2016.However, the corporation has only received RM10.07 billion from 1.2 million borrowers. 1,574,700 PTPTN borrowers had failed to repay their loans that total up to RM32.07 billion.

With all these in mind, Ong has asked the government to remove all discounts, exemptions given to students that either repay their loans early or graduate with first-class honours

Image via The Rakyat Post

In 2014, PTPTN announced that borrowers can get a 20% discount of their total payment if they repay their loans by 31 March 2015.

Talking about PTPTN, here's how you can repay your loans in a fuss-free way:

Shanghaiist reported that the 17-year-old boy ended his life by leaping off a bridge in Yichang, Hubei province, last Friday.Shortly after, a woman was seen bending down to pick up the phone that was left behind by the boy.

The teen's sister tried her best to get the phone back. A few days later, someone finally answered her calls.

Image via MiaoPai

When the grieving sister asked who she was speaking to, the person on the other end of the line said she had found the phone left on the bridge. The sister explained that the phone was her brother's and requested to have it return to her. But the woman quickly ended the call.

Moments later, the woman called back and demanded money. The sister responded by saying that she would pay anything to have the phone back.

However, the woman changed her mind and said that it would be too much of a hassle to hand over the phone. She told the sister that she had decided to keep it. The phone has been switched off and all attempts to call back have failed.In an interview with local reporters, the sister said that she wants the phone back so desperately because she thinks it may hold clues as to why her brother decided to end his life.

There Could Be A Serious Shortage Of Durians If Bauxite Mining Continues In Pahang

Durian farmers from Pahang are planning to march over 250km to the Parliament in Kuala Lumpur over the span of nearly two weeks to protest against the impact of bauxite mining on durian

Durian planter Che Long Che Ali.

"We will march to submit a memorandum to parliament ... I'm doing this for myself and all future generations to fight for our environment," durian farmer Che Long Che Ali said, adding that farmers wanted tougher regulations on bauxite mining or even a permanent ban."My durian trees didn't fruit last year. Our rivers and the air we breathe are polluted. People have fallen sick," Che Long said, with the march expected to begin around the middle of next month.

        reuters.com

Durian farmers have claimed to have lesser sales due to lower output of the crop and have attributed environmental damages and lesser land as the main causes

Durian planter Abdul Rani stands in his durian orchard, which no longer produces fruit, in an area mined for bauxite in Kuantan.

Farmers blame ore dust for disrupting pollination while environmentalists note that the habitat of birds, bees and bats - natural pollinators of the durian flower - are destroyed when land is cleared for mining. The Malaysian Nature Society also said that land used for mining would likely become infertile due to heavy-metal contamination, meaning rehabilitation for agriculture would be long and expensiveKoh Yen Boon, a durian seller in Kuantan, said his sales volume dropped by about 30 percent last year.“There was less produce to sell... The remaining trees were covered in red and brown dust,” he said.

After Thailand, Malaysia is the world’s No. 2 producer of durian, banned in many hotels and airports because of the sulphurous smell of its sticky flesh – although many consider that scent part of the eating pleasure. China is its key market for frozen durian and related products. Malaysia’s durian industry is not huge – government figures show 2014 frozen shipments to China were worth just more than US$1.2 million (RM5.06 million).

A durian farmer in Kampung Beserah, who only wanted to be known as Pak Ajis, admitted he made quite a sum by leasing his durian farm of almost one hectare.     Declining to reveal the amount of money he received, Pak Ajis, 62, however, said he was literally forced to lease his farm after it was intruded by a rogue bauxite miner at the end of 2014.  "I initially did not want to lease my farm for bauxite mining but when my durian trees were felled without my knowledge, I had to lease to him in the end.""I claimed RM5,000 from him for damaging my trees and on seeing the helpless situation, I gave in to lease my farm. I later discovered that other bauxite operators were offering even higher prices for our farms," he said, adding that more than 30 farmers had leased their land.

Malaysia supplied more than 40 percent of China’s imports of the aluminum-making raw material last year after Indonesia imposed a ban on shipments in January 2014. China produces about half the world’s aluminum used in everything from aircraft to door frames and drink cans. The country’s exports of the metal and its products surged 36 percent in November from the previous month, helping push global prices down 19 percent in 2015.
