What can we do about sexual harassment in the workplace?

On 3 July, Cheryl Yeoh who is now based in San Francisco, wrote about her account after a New York Times coverage on sexual assault in the Silicon Valley. Her blogpost details her own account with prominent Silicon Valley investor and cofounder of 500 Startups, Dave McClure, who has been facing sexual assault accusations of inappropriate advances against women within the tech startup industry.Cheryl kept her silence but was compelled to put forth her experience with Dave after reading his post, "I'm A Creep, I'm Sorry", a response for the sexual assault allegations.

In her blogpost, Cheryl "Shedding Light on the “Black Box of Inappropriateness” appeared to have a good working relationship with Dave and considered a subsequent partnership

In April 2014, Cheryl was plucked from Silicon Valley to manage MaGIC (Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre), an agency formed by ex US president, Barack Obama and the Malaysian Prime Minister, Najib Razak as an effort to kick off the startup culture in Malaysia.Since the days of running her own startup Reclip.It, which was funded by Dave's startup incubator, 500 Startups, Cheryl and Dave have kept a good professional relationship to which she decided to carry on this preexisting partnership.

In the post, Cheryl describes the advances made by Dave she experienced three years ago

On 6 June 2014, Cheryl and and a few friends including Dave had a casual get together at her place to brainstorm about an accelerator programme for 500 Startups, branded 'Distro Dojo' and a hashtag for MaGIC. During that time, Dave is described to have been actively refilling Cheryl's glass of scotch.When it was past midnight, all except for Dave had left with an Uber. Cheryl offered to get him an Uber but he said no. He had also declined to sleep on the couch or the guest room after she offered. Cheryl walked back to her room and that was when Dave made a move."Then I went into my own bedroom but Dave followed me there, and that’s when he first propositioned to sleep with me. I said no. I reminded Dave that he knew my then-boyfriend and that we’d just talked about him earlier that night.At this point, I led him to the door and told him he needs to leave. On the way out, he pushed himself onto me to the point where I was backed into a corner, made contact to kiss me, and said something along the lines of “Just one night, please just this one time.” Then he told me how he really likes strong and smart women like me. Disgusted and outraged, I said no firmly again, pushed him away and made sure he was out my door."

Prior to that, Dave has also invited her twice to his hotel room before via private text

In June 2011, Cheryl's was featuring her startup CityPockets in an event in New York, Dave dropped by to congratulate her while later following up with a text inviting her to his hotel room for a chat. "I kept thinking to myself… this can’t be a proposition! It’s simply crazy! What balls does a VC (venture capitalist) have to send such a text that I can easily share with the press?" to which she ignored.A year later in June 2012, Dave offered Cheryl a chance to join him at a grand entrepreneurial event, Xconomy Napa Summit. Later that night, she received another invite to his hotel room for some wine and she obliged but nothing happened that night. As Cheryl describes, "Dave sitting across the room from me the whole time, relating to me how he was lonely and an entrepreneur just like all of us, that nobody understands his side of the story as well as his own failures, struggles and insecurities."

Cheryl was conflicted about speaking out about the incident because it might have threatened the Distro Dojo deal which weighed on the entire region's future of startups

The timing of the assault had caught Cheryl in a difficult position. She explains, "On one hand, I was really upset with Dave’s individual misconduct and never wanted to work directly with him ever again, but on the other hand, if I said anything, I would most certainly kill the Distro Dojo deal."She also noted how important the deal was for the region. To put it in perspective, the deal has helped boost local companies like GrabTaxi and Kfit, further crediting 500 Startups as what gave rise to the startup ecosystem here in the first place.

Cheryl makes it clear that her word is against Dave's individual misconduct and not 500 Startups

500 Startups was founded by Dave McClure and Christine Tsai in 2010.

In her post, Cheryl still acknowledges and respects the work done by Dave and 500 Startups and wants things to change for the better.“I believe in 500 Startups and want to find constructive ways to deal with this. Dave has done a lot for many founders, and people (including me) are grateful for his support in many ways. What he’s done for the startup community is commendable.It’s tough for some to accept the truth that Dave abused his power for sexual gain and put women in compromising, powerless positions. But we need to acknowledge the difference between inappropriate behavior and assault. What I experienced with Dave was the latter.”

Khailee from 500 Startups and friend of Cheryl's shares his statement with us

"I'm angry and sad about what happened to Cheryl, even more so as she's a close friend. At the same time, her choice to join 500's initiatives to strengthen industry practices for women, reinforces the shared belief in 500 as an organisation. 500's mission is larger than any one person. 150 staff (43% female) in 20 countries, 1,800 portfolio companies in 60 countries (30% female founders), and 500 cofounder Christine Tsai, leading 500 as CEO, will further build on our work. We will continue to be a platform for investing in and developing the full range of entrepreneurial talent including women, minorities, in Silicon Valley and beyond."

How can we fix this?

Here are some of the conditions Cheryl calls to be outlined in the workplace as part of company policy:1. Identifying verbal harassment, especially gender-targeted ones• Such as degrading and sexist comments2. Direct sexual prepositions• Aggressively implicating invites and/or requests that are suggestively sexual3. Requesting for sexual favours in exchange for a reward• Such as closing a deal, funding, withholding a promotion or using termination as threat4. Physical sexual advances• Inappropriate and possibly forceful touching, kissing, groping, and other forms of sexual misconductNext, providing a safe channel for reporting about the harassment:• Have a hotline that attends to harassment which creates a safe way to communicate with the perpetrator in describing what they did wrong as a warning• Reports to be recorded as data points and to be confronted by the firmAlso, training venture capitalists and founders on how to recognise harassment when it's happening:• Holding portfolios within companies for inappropriate behaviour to be recorded for all stakeholders, thereby creating a safe passage for victims to report about a case without feeling compromisedHold sexual harassment surveys in the company:• Surveys to be taken of each other and in private• Will act to encourage victims to step forward

Cheryl is working with the 500 management team to craft policies and raise awareness on sexual harassment in the community

Finalising the post, Cheryl says that she’s working alongside the 500 team to reach a solution to erase the norm of sexual harassment in the workplace not only in tech industries but across all professional settings.

Cheryl has also offered her support to those who have had similar experiences, encouraging them to contact her at [email protected]

Don't you love it when you discover ways to get the best savings on your favourite things?

Image via GIPHY

As Malaysians, we love getting a good discount, especially when it comes to food. Rain or shine, we will be there for a good deal. Another thing we love is fried chicken! Well, what if we told you that you can get the best of both worlds? Amazing discounts for KFC fried chicken on the KFC app, to be exact! Yassss! :DICYMI, KFC has their very own app, and it not only helps fix your fried chicken cravings easily, but also offers a bunch of in-app exclusive deals, great savings, and rewards points which you can collect with every purchase.

We decided to give the KFC app a try to see just how much we can save. Here's what we found out:

Right off the bat, we were welcomed to the app with a RM10 off voucher

Image via Smartmockups (Edited by SAYS)

All we had to do was register and log into the KFC app to redeem the voucher. Just like that, we got RM10 off anything we added to our cart. Got a birthday party or gathering coming up? This is your chance to save RM10 when you order a bucket of fried chicken. Your guests will be happy, and you will too since you saved some bucks. Just make sure to order a minimum of RM20 worth of food on the app, which shouldn't be a problem since they've got plenty of delicious meal options to choose from.

That's not all, we also got a 30% off voucher on our total cart

Have you had those days when you can't be bothered to leave the house to buy food or cook? Times like these call for food delivery, where sometimes you can get better deals online than if you were to purchase directly at the store. Exclusively on the KFC app, this 30% off voucher allowed us to save up to RM10 on anything we added to our cart, with a minimum spend of RM20.

Image via SAYS

As you can see, when we ordered a 9-pc fried chicken bucket which is originally priced at RM56.30, we got it for only RM51.30 on the KFC app. What a steal! What's even better is that we earned 51 reward points, on top of the 30% off discount. Yayyy! :) And, if you pay with an e-wallet, you get double the loyalty points.

With the KFC app, we also got to enjoy an exclusive in-app menu and deals that we could stack with the 30% off voucher

If you're looking to try something out of your usual order, then KFC has got you covered. On their app, you can expect exclusive meals rolled out with some already discounted by up to 30%. The best thing is that we got to stack the 30% off voucher we redeemed with a meal deal and get up to 60% off savings. Wooohooo!

Aku Rogol Kau Sini Karang! - Bengang Peniaga Baru Jual Benda Sama, Lelaki Ini Jadi Berang

"Aku rogol kau sini karang!" - Itu adalah ungkapan yang dilemparkan seorang peniaga lelaki terhadap seorang peniaga wanita yang berniaga di kawasan yang sama dalam satu video viral, semalam

Video yang dimuatnaik oleh page bernama Sosej Sambal itu memaparkan dua orang peniaga Melayu mengamuk dan marah dengan kehadiran peniaga baru yang berniaga di tempat yang sama.Melalui video tersebut, dua peniaga yang berpakaian baju bunga-bunga itu berasa bengang kerana peniaga baru tersebut juga menjual air minuman sama seperti mereka.

Image via Sosej Sambal/Facebook

Menurut page tersebut, dilaporkan kejadian berlaku di Sri Damansara, Petaling jaya, Selangor.

Bermacam-macam kata-kata kesat dilemparkan peniaga lelaki tersebut. Namun, peniaga wanita itu mengambil keputusan untuk berdiam diri tanpa menghiraukannya.

Akibat bengang dengan sikap peniaga wanita tersebut, peniaga lelaki itu mempertikaikan pemakaian tudung peniaga wanita tersebut kerana beranggapan peniaga wanita itu tiada adab 'datang' ke tempat baru.

Image via Sosej Sambal/Facebook

Bagaimanapun, sebelum rakaman itu ditamatkan, kedengaran suara seorang lelaki meminta tukang rakam untuk memadam rakaman tersebut.

Rata-rata netizen berasa bengang setelah menonton video tersebut dan menganggap peniaga lelaki itu kurang ajar dan melampaui batas. Malah, ada yang memberi cadangan agar perkara itu dilaporkan kepada pihak polis kerana ancaman rogol telah dibuat oleh peniaga lelaki terbabit.

"Tuhan dah tetap kan rezeki masing-masing"

"Pakai baju bunga-bunga, hati tak ada bunga ke?"

Namun, tidak semua mengecam peniaga lelaki tersebut. Sesetengah netizen berpendapat, sebagai peniaga baru, peniaga wanita tersebut tidak seharusnya menjual benda yang sama.

"Healthy" Instant Noodles From Taiwan Are Becoming New Favourites Among Enthusiasts

Instant noodles. They're the go-to meal when you're just too broke… or when you're too lazy to head out for food. :p

Image via Gizmodo

Instant noodles are often cheap and easy to cook, and they have even become a staple for people to survive during times of crisis following a natural disaster.

Unfortunately, instant noodles have a reputation for not being the healthiest of food.
However, things are about to change as more manufacturers are producing "healthier" instant noodles to meet customers' demands for fresher and healthier food.

Image via dreamstime.com

What sets these "healthy" instant noodles apart from regular instant noodles is how the noodles are made and preserved to improve shelf life.It is said that the raw noodles are naturally sun-dried or dehydrated using air-drying technology, which are supposed to be "healthier" than those that are made using the traditional method of frying. In the past year or so, instant noodle manufacturers, particularly those from Taiwan, have found great success in producing and marketing "healthy" instant noodles.Their instant noodles have been selling out not just in Taiwan, but also in neighbouring territories such as Hong Kong and Singapore.

"Healthy" instant noodles from Taiwanese brands such as Little Couples Q Noodles, Tseng Noodles (also known as Zeng Noodles), and KiKi Noodles, have been extremely popular

Image via Joey Tang/Facebook

Image via tsengshop.com via Taiwan News

Image via @kikifg.hk/Instagram

Among the three brands, KiKi is probably the most well-known as it shot to mainstream fame after it was endorsed by popular Taiwanese celebrity Shu Qi

Image via Gomaji.com

KiKi Noodles is produced by a restaurant chain in Taiwan of the same name. The restaurant chain specialises in Sichuan cuisine, so it's no surprise that one of its best-selling noodles is the 'Szechuan Pepper' noodles.Usually, “healthy” instant noodles are served dry as opposed to the usual MSG-laden soup broths, and KiKi Noodles is no different. The noodles are tossed with savoury sauces depending on the flavour.

Image via Zen Ngan/Facebook

The availability of such "healthy" instant noodles in local markets in Malaysia is still quite scarce, but selected brands and noodles have already made their way into on-ground fairs at shopping malls and e-commerce sites. Previously, KiKi Fine Goods Singapore told The Straits Times in September 2017 that there are plans to make the KiKi Noodles available in Malaysia.

Have you tried any of these healthy instant noodles? Did you like it? Share with us in the comments section below!

Speaking of which, a one Michelin-Star cup noodle was introduced to the market last year:

50 Ekor Terjual Dalam Sejam, ‘Ayam Bakar Pasu Tekup’ Jadi Kegilaan Terbaru Rakyat Kelantan

Salah satu perkara yang menggembirakan tatkala menjelangnya Ramadan adalah adanya bazaar-bazaar Ramadan yang menjual pelbagai juadah berbuka yang menarik dan enak

Kebiasaannya juadah yang dijual di bazaar Ramadan adalah makanan dan minuman yang sangat jarang untuk didapati sewaktu bukan bulan Ramadan contohnya kuih-kuih tradisional, ayam golek, roti john dan banyak lagi.

Image via www.nikkhazami.com

Namun tahun ini berbeza pula di Kelantan, satu menu baru telah diperkenalkan iaitu "Ayam Bakar Pasu Tekup" dan ternyata ia mendapat sambutan yang sangat menggalakkan

Image via Harian Metro

Pengusaha perniagaan tersebut, Tajuddin Mat Isa, 50, memberitahu 50 ekor ayamnya habis terjual dalam masa sejam sahaja. Dia yang berniaga di Jalan Maktab, Pengkalan Chepa, berkata ayam yang dibakar di dalam pasu yang ditekup mendapat sambutan penduduk setempat kerana aroma dan kelainan rasanya berbanding ayam lain.

Image via Wawan Faiz/Facebook

"Awalnya saya bakar 50 ekor sahaja sebab nak tengok sama ada dapat sambutan atau tidak. Tak sangka betul, dalam tempoh sejam, semua 50 ekor habis ditempah pelanggan."Inilah percubaan pertama saya jual ayam pasu tekup. Sebelum ini saya memang menjual ayam mentah untuk bekalan penduduk setempat," katanya.

Oleh sebab mendapat sambutan yang sangat menggalakkan, dia menambah jualan ayam bakar istimewanya daripada 50 ekor kepada 150 ekor

Image via Wawan Faiz/Facebook

Menurut Tajuddin, dia berpendapat mungkin pasu seramik yang digunakannya itu telah berjaya menarik minat orang ramai untuk singgah di gerai jualannya dan melihat sendiri ayam dibakar.Tambahnya, di Kelantan belum pernah lagi orang membakar ayam di dalam pasu. Kebanyakannya di dalam tempayan atau tong."Inspirasi menjual ayam sebegini diperoleh dari Melaka yang sudah terkenal dengan ayam pasu selain Negeri Sembilan. Kami cuba tawarkan di Kelantan untuk citarasa baru orang kita," katanya yang dibantu menantu, Mohd Shamsuddin Zakaria, 34, dan dua pekerja.

Pasu yang digunakan juga ditempah khas dari Melaka kerana buatannya yang halus dan tahan lasak serta mudah panas

Tajuddin bukan saja menjual ayam bakar pasu tekup, malah dia juga menjual pelbagai jenis air buah-buahan tetapi sambutan diterima tidak semeriah ayam terbabit.Keistimewaan menu ini bukan saja menjadi buah mulut orang ramai malah turut disiarkan di berita TV9 baru-baru ini.

Semua 100 ekor ayam dimasak dalam pasu habis dijual dalam masa...Semua 100 ekor ayam dimasak dalam pasu habis dijual dalam masa kurang dua jam. Mesti sedap ayam bakar pasu tekup ni...Posted by NX Digital on Monday, 29 May 2017

Sesampainya di sana, Eri naik ke bekas puncak Garuda dan mengambil gambar sendirian di atas. Rakannya, Dicky hanya perhatikan Eri dari bawah dan sempat mengambil foto Eri yang sedang berada di puncak tersebut.  Selesai mengambil gambar, tempat dimana Eri berpijak tiba-tiba runtuh dan membuatnya terus terjatuh hingga ke dasar kawah. Jika dilihatkan pada gambar, Puncak Garuda ini sememangnya sangat curam dan berbahaya.

Melihat kejadian itu didepan mata, Dicky lantas berlari ke Pos II untuk meminta pertolongan dari pendaki lain dan kemudian memaklumkan kepada petugas di base camp New Selo

"Setelah mendapat laporan, kami pasukan search and rescue dari BPBD Boyolali bersama para sukarelawan berpengalaman segera mendaki ke puncak Merapi untuk menyelamatkan Eri," kata Koordinator Relawan Barameru Merapi, saudara Samsuri.Samsuri menjelaskan, sungguhpun mereka berjaya menemui mangsa, bukan mudah bagi mereka untuk melakukan proses evakuasi, apatah lagi jika harus dilakukan pada malam hari. Ini disebabkan keadaan muka bumi Gunung Merapi yang sangat sulit dan kedalaman kawah sedalam 200 meter.

Setelah dua hari menjalankan search and rescue, pasukan penyelamat akhirnya menjumpai tubuh Eri yang sudah tidak bernyawa di kedalaman 200 meter kawah Merapi

Seramai lebih 20 anggota penyelamat turun untuk mengeluarkan mayat daripada kawah tersebut. Masa yang diambil untuk proses evakuasi ini agak lama memandangkan mereka perlu membawa mayat Eri naik dahulu daripada kawah, kemudian turun ke base camp New Selo.

8 Things To Know About Tabung Haji's "Missing" RM4 Billion And Alleged Misuse Of Funds

On 29 November, Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) came under public scrutiny after the pilgrimage fund's new management lodged two police reports against its former leadership over TH's past financial transactions

Image via New Straits Times

According to Malaysiakini, the board proceeded with the reports based on internal investigations launched by the new management after it was appointed to the board in July 2018.

The reports have since opened a few new cans of worms. Here's all you need to know about what has transpired since:

1. Seven officers in TH's former senior management team were named in the reports, including former chairperson Abdul Azeez Rahim

From left: Former TH chairperson Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Rahim, and former TH CEOs Tan Sri Ismee Ismail and Datuk Seri Johan Abdullah.

Just a few months ago, in September, Abdul Azeez and his brother were arrested and had their homes and offices searched under suspicion of money laundering by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). In addition to Abdul Azeez, Malaysiakini reported that TH also named former CEOs Ismee Ismail and Johan Abdullah, chief operating officer Adi Azuan Abdul Ghani, chief financial officer Rozaida Omar, legal adviser Hazlina Mohd Khalid, and senior general manager for corporate services and real estate Rifina Md Ariff in their reports. Malaysiakini noted that Ismee, a "known associate" of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak, was also sued by Felda Global Ventures Bhd last week in efforts to recover RM514 million of lost funds.

2. TH's first report alleged that RM22 million from Yayasan Tabung Haji (YTH) was used for political activities, which contravenes its memorandum and articles of association

Image via Yayasan Tabung Haji

The RM22 million is reported to involve YTH's 2017 programme. At the time, according to New Straits Times, the foundation's trustees were Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez, Tan Sri Ismee, Datuk Seri Johan, Datuk Adi, and Datuk Rozaida.According to The Edge, YTH was set up in 2016 as a charitable foundation to provide humanitarian aid, as well as to contribute to the underprivileged, poor, and needy. TH said that it has contributed RM7 million to the foundation.

3. The second report alleged that three senior officers - Ismee, Hazlina, and Rifina - misrepresented and withheld material information involving the sale of TH's 95% stake in PT TH Indo Plantations

According to The Edge, the 95% stake - which was held by TH subsidiaries TH Indopalms Sdn Bhd and TH Indo Industries Sdn Bhd - were disposed off to PT Borneo Pacific for USD910 milllion. The portal also noted that TH Indo Plantations owns a total of 83,000 hectares of palm oil estates in Indonesia.

4. Shortly after the reports were made public, Singaporean news portal The Straits Times revealed that TH was RM4 billion short of deposits in 2016. It was supposed to have RM64 billion in assets.

Image via The Malaysian Reserve

The Straits Times noted that the pilgrimage fund has nine million depositors, but has yet to present the audit of its 2017 accounts after its board and senior management were reshuffled following the 14th General Elections (GE14). It also suggested that the losses in deposits could have increased since then.

5. Citing an anonymous senior official in the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government, The Straits Times also reported that TH's former management had "faked last year's account" to justify its pre-GE14 dividend payout

Image via Utusan Online

The senior official told the Singaporean daily that TH had done so to "justify its dividend payout" of up to 6.25% in February 2018, just three months before GE14, amounting to RM2.7 billion in payouts.

6. Meanwhile, the 2017 Auditor-General's (A-G) report has revealed that TH failed to record an asset impairment of RM227.81 million in its subsidiary and associate companies

"In the year ended Dec 31, 2017, LTH did not record an impairment totalling RM227.81 million against investment in three subsidiary companies and three associates, primarily the investment in the associate company, TH Heavy Engineering Bhd, which amounted to RM164.58 million," the report said, as quoted by The Edge. The A-G report, which was revealed today, 3 December, added that TH's policy on reporting its impairment of assets was inconsistent. Free Malaysia Today reported that the policy was changed every year. In fact, in the financial year ending 31 December 2017, it was modified twice.

7. After the police reports went public, former TH chairperson Abdul Azeez called the allegations an "attempt to embarrass" him and the pilgrim fund

Image via The Edge Markets

According to Malaysiakini, the UMNO-Baling MP said TH's new management should have approached him for clarification. "This is mala fide and an attempt to embarrass me and Tabung Haji," he said in a press conference at the Parliament lobby today, 3 December. "Tabung Haji never called me to allow me to defend myself. All funds were channelled into Yayasan Tabung Haji (YTH). UMNO, the federal government and contributors put their faith in YTH," he added, as quoted by Malaysiakini.

8. In light of the reports, TH group managing director and CEO Datuk Seri Zukri Samat had assured depositors that their savings are safe

Responding to queries on whether the police reports will impact the fund's operations, he explained, "It is business as usual for us. Our depositors should trust that TH will ensure their deposits are secure."

Things You Should Know About The Equanimity, Its Maintenance Cost And  What Tun M Said

Earlier today, 11 August, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad along with Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng among others boarded the 1MDB-linked RM1 billion super-luxury yacht Equanimity, which is docked at the Port Klang

Equanimity, which according to reports about a 2017 civil forfeiture suit brought by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), was bought using the proceeds of misappropriated 1MDB funds that had been laundered through the US financial system.The USD250 million vessel is allegedly owned by fugitive financier Jho Low, to whom Tun Dr Mahathir has now challenged to "come and claim" it.

Image via Lifestyle Asia

After touring the luxury vessel himself, Tun Dr Mahathir said that if Jho Low believes he is the rightful owner of Equanimity, he can come and claim in Malaysia."The only person who wants to take legal action is Low. For him to take legal action, he can come and prove to us that the yacht belongs to him."The yacht is very costly, so we want to know where he got the money to buy it, and when we trace the money, eventually we will find that the money is from 1MDB."The DOJ said if we want to keep it, we are entitled to it because this is ours, bought with stolen Malaysian money, and when we eventually sell this boat, we are entitled to the proceeds," Tun Dr Mahathir was quoted as saying by Malaysiakini.

The Prime Minister said that while there was no timeframe for Jho Low to claim the super-luxury yacht, the government would like to sell it off as soon as possible as its maintenance cost was very high

So far no one has shown interest in buying the Equanimity from the Malaysian government, but Tun Dr Mahathir quipped that interested parties had to be very rich."Maybe Arabs or Bill Gates might offer, because it is very expensive, even to maintain. You have to spend a lot of money to keep the boat in ship shape."I have also offered to buy, at my price of course, but they said no, so we have to invite buyers worldwide," the Prime Minister, known for his tongue in cheek remarks, added.

The RM1 billion super-souvenir of the massive 1MDB corruption scandal, Equanimity boasts facilities such as a massage room, a sauna, a helicopter landing pad, a cinema, and gold-leaf fittings

Built by Oceanco in the Netherlands at their Alblasserdam shipyard, Equanimity is said to accommodate up to 26 guests.The Equanimity is the 54th largest yacht in the world and the first superyacht built to the Passenger Yacht Code, which allows the yacht to maximise the number of occupants, bringing it up to 26 guests and 28 crew members.The interior of the Equanimity comprises of materials like gold leaf, dark coloured wood, bamboo, and marble. There are a total of nine cabins, which can easily fit its guests in a master suite, four VIP staterooms, and four double cabins.

Coloured blue and white, while the Equanimity is the epitome of luxury, opulence, and extravagance, it is also high on safety

It is also fitted with 'zero speed stabilizers' which work at anchor, increasing onboard comfort for guests when the yacht is stationary, particularly in rough waters.Tucked within are twin 4,828hp MTUs, giving it a top speed of 20 knots.The Equanimity also has a large 271,000-litre fuel tank, which allows for almost unlimited exploration on the vast open sea.

Image via QZ

Its monthly maintenance cost said to be RM3 million, has been equated to having daily parties or super grand weekly parties

Today, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir, however, said that the Malaysian government would like to sell the Equanimity as soon as possible as the maintenance costs alone would come to about RM2 million a month.

Additionally, the public won't be allowed to tour the Equanimity

This is so in order to maintain the Equanimity's value and safeguard its condition."We have to keep the yacht in good condition. But if you allow hundreds of people to come and view the yacht then it might damage the yacht."Buyers will not want to buy a ship that is exhibited like that," Tun Dr Mahathir told reporters after conducting an hour-long inspection of the vessel earlier today.

The Evolution Of Thirst: It Started With The Infamous Godskitchen Boombox Installation In 2010

It’s a massive, glorified edifice that housed the DJs and projected real time visuals on its surface, of which the likes of headliners Chuckie, Sander van Doorn, and Richard Durand, along with locals Goldfish & Blink (a Thirst staple now) and Joey G, had the once in a lifetime opportunity to play in.

This was apparent from the very beginning with Thirst 2010 – the infamous Godskitchen Boombox installation was brought down to Kuala Lumpur, the only country in this region to receive such an honour. Designed by the founders of Parisian design collective 1024, the structure was 16 metres wide, 8 metres high, and 6 metres deep.

Combining the latest in motion and video-mapping technology, a trippy feast for the eyes was projected onto the 5-metre tall structures that dominated Thirst 2011’s skyline. On a smaller scale, the Heineken Infinity Bar was also erected, acting as sort of a futuristic arch that illuminated the darkness.

Here's How China Successfully Reduced The Number Of New COVID-19 Cases

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is affecting 157 countries and territories around the world.
Out of the 80,881 confirmed cases in China as of today, 17 March, only 21 are new cases.

Meanwhile, other countries such as US, Italy, and even Malaysia are now reporting over 100 new cases daily.

Image via Xinhua

Since the outbreak started in January, China has taken several measures to rapidly reduce the number of new cases.
Here's what they did:

1. Enforced a lockdown

Image via CNN

According to The Guardian, Wuhan and 15 other neighbouring cities began their virtual lockdown on Thursday, 23 January.Trains and flights were cancelled, public transport was suspended, and most private cars were banned from the roads.

A total of 60 million people were largely confined to their cities for several weeks, reported South China Morning Post.

However, many others have criticised the lockdown, calling it 'draconian'. According to TIME, the initiative cripples citizens' livelihoods and wouldn't be as effective if implemented anywhere else.

2. Built emergency hospitals

Image via AFP/New Straits Times

Within just eight days, China completed work on an emergency 1,000-bed hospital. The 25,000sqm Huoshenshan Hospital began admitting patients on 3 February, reported Chinese state media Xinhua.

Only a few days after that, another emergency hospital was opened about 40km away. Leishenshan Hospital covered 75,000sqm with a capacity of 1,600 beds.

The Guardian reported that in total, there were a dozen makeshift hospitals in Wuhan but the last emergency hospital was closed on Tuesday, 10 March, after a massive improvement in the number of people infected in the region.

Image via AFP/New Straits Times

3. Disinfected public spaces regularly

Image via Business Insider

According to Business Insider, disinfecting highly-touched surfaces is one of the most effective ways to curb the spread of coronavirus.

Trucks carrying low-concentration bleach-and-water solutions drove through China's major cities, cleaning the streets and sanitation workers were sent to spray down all public areas.

Image via Business Insider

4. Made wearing face masks compulsory

Image via China Daily

South China Morning Post reported that Beijing and Shanghai unveiled a compulsory mask-wearing policy on 10 February.

Some citizens were even called out in public when authorities found them without a face mask.Watch the video here:

5. Practised social distancing

Image via Xinhua

Authorities in China even cancelled major Lunar New Year celebrations, reported CNN. Temples were closed, Shanghai Disneyland ceased operations, and the release of several blockbuster movies were postponed, all in the name of social distancing.

Malaysia will be implementing a nationwide restricted movement order that will be effective from 18 March:

This is not a military lockdown, but a nationwide health precaution, he stressed.

Watsons Malaysia Has Issued A Second Apology After Deleting Their 'Legenda Cun Raya' Video

Yesterday, Watsons Malaysia uploaded a 15-minute 'Legenda Cun Raya' video, depicting the tale of a woman "cursed with black skin" with a beautiful voice

The elaborate festive video features some of Malaysia’s biggest celebrities including Ruhainies, Kamal Adli, Amber Chia, Raja Ilya, Thanuja Ananthan, and Nadine Ann Thomas among others.Speaking about the ad, Customer Director Danny Hoh said, "This year we offer something different and unique that is relevant for all. This epic movie was carefully scripted to inject Watsons brand identity to include humour, wit and also over the top acting and characters."

Image via Watsons Malaysia

The video is about a rich merchant named Al-Kazam who is searching for a mysterious girl whose beautiful voice haunts his dreams

Actor Kamal Adli.
Image via Watsons Malaysia

While beautiful princesses from around the world audition to impress the rich merchant, he is smitten by the voice of one girl whose face is covered.The rich merchant asks the girl to uncover her face, saying, "I think your face must be as beautiful as your voice. Show me your face."

Image via Watsons Malaysia

But when the girl uncovers her face, Al-Kazam exclaims, "Oh my gossssh. Where are the lights?" A moment later, he then says in confusion, "She is actually dark?"

The merchant, however, still chooses her, who then surprises him by "washing" her face to reveal her fair complexion, explaining that it was "a test of Al-Kazam's sincerity" and that she is "flawless"

Ruhainies, plays Dayang Senandung.
Image via Watsons Malaysia

Watsons Malaysia said the ad campaign "was shot to highlight the legend and its moral values of inner beauty and that true love exists"

However, soon after the video was uploaded on Watsons Malaysia's Facebook page, it created a huge public uproar for using a blackface to portray ugliness.While the pharmacy chain said that the video was referring to the folktale of Dayang Senandung who was born cursed with black skin, netizens were naturally enraged.After all, the video, despite its message of inner beauty and true love, was still perpetuating the horrible stereotype that being black is a curse.

While Watsons Malaysia took down the video from its social media pages, the damage was already done. For the time it was up online, the video created a big controversy for the pharmacy chain.

Watsons then issued an apology, saying, "We are sorry that some of our fans feel offended by the video which was not our intention"

However, the apology was seen as inadequate by many.

#Watsons Malaysia's "apology" is not going down well on Facebook. pic.twitter.com/NVkiql9fvL— Sumisha Naidu (@SumishaCNA) June 7, 2017

Today, a second apology was issued by Caryn Loh, the General Manager and Country Head of Watsons Malaysia

In the second apology, the pharmacy chain expresses regret over the video."We deeply and sincerely apologise for our recent "Legenda Cun Raya" video which... was inspired by the Malay legend Dayang Senandong... It was our intention to convey concepts of inner and outer beauty, unfortunately, the video instead offended many," read the apology that was posted on Watsons Malaysia's Facebook page."Regretfully, we acknowledge that the “Legenda Cun Raya” video is not in-line with the values that we hold dearly in Malaysia. Watsons Malaysia takes responsibility for the video and its content and is truly sorry..."

Malaysian Newlyweds Regret Taking A Loan After Parents Demanded For A Grand Wedding

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

Planning a wedding takes a lot of organising, money, and compromise.
While a marriage is only two people, planning a wedding sometimes includes parents who have their own ideas and beliefs.

In a recent anonymous confession through Twitter account @ConfessTweetMY, a newlywed confessed that she has been unhappy in her marriage since her wedding reception.Just married for six months, it all started when her parents disapproved of hosting a small wedding reception. The newlywed couple work average jobs, where the husband is a clerk and the wife works as a contractual government worker."I told my parents that we wanted to do a small reception with around 100 guests. They disagreed and told us they have a lot of relatives and friends to invite who will get offended if they weren't," the wife confessed in the post.

The couple's request for a small wedding then left her parents questioning if the husband could truly take care of their daughter

"After hearing that, my husband felt hurt. He decided to sit down with my parents and discuss how many people we should invite. The final numbers came up to 1,000 people and my parents wanted to host it at a hotel," she continued. "Then, they told us to take out a RM40,000 loan if we wanted to marry."Long story short, the husband took out a loan for the wedding and they managed to host a grand reception at a hotel. Her parents were happy and satisfied, with their friends praising them about how grand the wedding was.

"Now, we're struggling to pay the loan and have to take odd jobs to survive," she confessed

"Upon coming home from work, my husband continued working as a GrabFood rider while I handled an online dropship business. However, sales were less than profitable," she explained. "My husband went from being an outgoing person to a recluse who prefers to sleep a lot.""He said that he was tired from having to work continuously. He truly regrets ever taking that loan and feels that if he hadn't, our lives would be much more peaceful and he can relax with me after working at an office job."

Since the post was shared, netizens have expressed their sympathy towards the couple

Image via ConfessTweetMY (Twitter)

A user said, "Because of their need to please other people, their own child is suffering. This is one of the reasons a marriage is in shambles," while another said, "This is the type of parents whose friends hosted grand weddings for their own children and so the parents want that for themselves too."One user went on to say that RM40,000 is not a small amount of money and could have instead been used as a deposit for a car or a house. "There is nothing wrong with small weddings as long as there is no debt to be paid in the future."

Law Minister Says EC Has Been Notified To Prepare For Implementation Of 'Undi 18'

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

The federal government will comply with the Kuching High Court's decision to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 by year end, said de facto Law Minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar

According to Free Malaysia Today, Wan Junaidi said the government has told the Election Commission (EC) to prepare to implement 'Undi 18' amendments before 31 December.He also said Putrajaya has yet to put out any directive to appeal the Kuching High Court's decision."It has not been decided yet whether we want to appeal. I will discuss this with the Attorney-General and the Cabinet," he told journalists during a press conference today, 7 September."But the EC has been instructed to prepare to implement this (by 31 December)."

The implementation will enable 1.9 million individuals age between 18 and 21 to become new voters, said Wan Junaidi

Other than lowering the voting age, the 'Undi 18' bill also allows Malaysians to be automatically registered as voters.That, he said, will enable 4.4 million unregistered voters above the age of 21 to automatically become electorates, reported Malaysiakini.It was previously estimated that the total number of voters is expected to increase by more than 50%, from 14.9 million in 2018 to 22.7 million.

Prior to this, EC announced in March that Malaysians under the age of 21 can only start voting after September 2022 as the Movement Control Order (MCO) had hindered Undi 18's implementation

In response to the announcement, five youths age between 18 and 20 filed a judicial review application to compel the government to implement Undi 18 promptly on 4 May.The application named the Prime Minister at that time, the Malaysian government, and the EC as respondents.Last Friday, 3 September, the Kuching High Court ruled in favour of the youths, reported Bernama.In his rulings, Judicial Commissioner (JC) Alexander Siew How Wai said it was nonsensical that the respondents had from 2019 to 10 March 2021 repeatedly maintained that they were on track to implement Section 3 of the Constitution (Amendment) Act 2019 by July 2021, but before the end of March 2021, the respondents backpedalled and said the implementation could only be done in September 2022 at the earliest.He also said the respondents' decision to delay Undi 18 is "irrational" and "illegal".As such, the Kuching High Court squashed the respondents' decision to delay Undi 18 beyond July 2021 before granting an order of mandamus to compel the government and EC to take all necessary steps to implement Undi 18 as soon as possible,

In a tweet today, Undi18 co-founder Qyira Yusri thanked everyone involved in fighting for youths' voting rights

Other than her co-founder Tharma Pillai and MUDA president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, among others, Qyira also thanked the 18 youths from Kuala Lumpur and five from Sarawak for filing the judiciary review.

Not to mention, the brave 18 youths from KL and 5 from Sarawak. The real heroes in this judicial review. I'm so honored to play a role to facilitate. #Undi18— Qyira  (@takterqyira) September 7, 2021

In March, the Dewan Negara president and EC explained why Undi18 had to be delayed:

                Dewan Negara President Says Implementation Of 'Undi18' Is Not Practical  For Now

According to Tan Sri Rais Yatim, while the Undi 18 Bill has been passed in terms of legislation, in terms of readines...

This British Artist In Penang Painted The Chinese Zodiac Animals As Majestic Creatures

When we think of the Chinese zodiac, we usually only think of them as mere animals.
This Penang-based British artist, however, views them in an entirely different light.

Thomas Powell.
Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

Thomas Powell told SAYS, "I got the idea during a project for Macalister Mansion. At that time (this was in 2014), I was painting a pair of deer-headed pieces when it hit me.""Because all the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac are meant to represent people, why not draw an animal head on a human body, symbolising what the creature represents? It enables viewers to recognise their own zodiac animal and explore what [it] means to them."The entire series was first exhibited in Macalister Mansion during the 2014 George Town Festival. By the end of the exhibition, all the paintings were sold.

When asked how he chose the corresponding body for each animal, Powell told SAYS he referred to a number of books and online sources

"I used books and online sources for the background information regarding the characteristics of the animals (or rather the characteristics that people born in that year are meant to have)," he said."The sources I found were not always consistent, so I chose characteristics that overlapped with multiple sources and inspired me [which] made it easier to select a body for the visual representation of any given characteristic."

Spot your zodiac animal here and read Powell's explanation behind it:

1. Pig

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

"Pigs love pleasure [and] tend to be a bit self-indulgent, but they do have big hearts and care about other people," Powell explained the reasoning behind the 'wealthy, old aristocrat' body."They are very forgiving and always seek a quiet and peaceful life even to the point of being withdrawn from the mainstream, preferring instead to stay at home and indulge themselves."

2. Rat

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

Powell gave the rat a "merchant body" because "they provide very well for their family, they love to haggle for bargains, and genuinely adore collecting money".

3. Ox

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

The ox was given a political leader's body because it is believed the animal is a "patient, kind person who takes responsibilities seriously, who derives a lot of pleasure from doing things the right way – actually their own way".

4. Tiger

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

Tigers are "rash, impulsive, and dynamic; invariably charming and persuasive", which is why Powell gave it a king's body."The reason they are born leaders is not that they have any natural leading abilities, it's just that they can talk anyone into following them – no matter how ill-advised the project may be," Powell explained to SAYS.

5. Rabbit

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

Rabbits are believed to be "intuitive, psychic, sensitive, creative" and caring towards others."They are lone souls who deeply feel the pain of the world and often try hard to put it all right. Invariably calm and moderate, quiet and refined", which is why Powell gave it the body of a monk.

6. Dragon

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

"Big, bright, and bold, the dragon is life's good luck symbol," said Powell in explaining the dancer's body."Dragons are glorious and mythical, confident and glamorous. Dragons are usually extremely energetic, full of life, and fun.  They like to be surrounded by friends and admirers, sycophants and lovers."

7. Snake

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

Snakes are given a "stylish tea drinker body" because they are mysterious, clever, shrewd, and sensual."They are indulgent and sophisticated, and move with ease and grace – languid and very stylish."

8. Horse

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

The Chinese Opera body signifies that those born in the year of the horse are people who are fine "as long as they're having fun and in the limelight"."Friendly and communicative, horses are great givers, and incurable gossips and talkers," Powell explained.

9. Goat

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

"Goats don't fret about the past and they don't worry about the future," said Powell to SAYS.With the body of a musician seated by the stream, it signifies that those born in the year of the sheep are "relaxed, happy-go-lucky creatures who like to enjoy what they have now rather than strive for what might be".

10. Monkey

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

"Inquisitive, bright, energetic, and highly competitive," Powell explained, "The monkey is the liveliest of the animal signs – full of new ideas, and always scheming, mainly to get its own way.""They make fine leaders," he added, which is why he gave the monkey the body of Napolean.

11. Rooster

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

Much like an actual matador, those born in the year of the rooster "like to show off"."They are flamboyant, colourful people with outgoing personalities, and a friendly way about them.  They are good communicators and enthusiastic," said Powell."Very entertaining as they are never still or quiet, but most of their stories will be about them and their prowess in whatever activity they excel at."

12. Dog

Image via Thomas Powell (Provided)

On giving the dog the body of an ancient Chinese soldier, Powell said it is because dogs are the "friendliest and kindest"."Dogs are here to serve us all and love being of use.  They understand loyalty and faithfulness in ways others could only dream of. Firm, dutiful, noble beast indeed – and so are these people.  Dog people are unselfish and moral; honest, trustworthy and tolerant."

Powell has even painted a number of murals around Penang that are in the same style as the Chinese Zodiac series

The "Drippin' Dragon" mural depicts a dragon-headed General Guan Yu riding a horse on the wall of the Drippin' Dragon Hostel on Jalan Hutton, Penang.The building was a former hospice that homed terminally-ill patients in their last days, so the mural was drawn to change the feng shui of the lodging.Other murals can be found here.
