Doesn't look like something you'd expect to see in Bali, right? This hidden canyon is situated in Gianyar, which can be quite difficult to find if you don't have a local guide. You'll trek from the Guwang Village to the Beji Guwang Temple, where you can find a sacred pool and a separate one with free 'fish therapy'. After that it's just a short upstream walk to the canyon!

4. The beaches of Pulau Weh, Banda Aceh

The waters around Pulau Weh are so clear that you could even see the fish and coral reefs that are on the ocean floor. There are more than 20 dive sites around the island, where you can see eels, stingrays, and even sharks! Don't forget to catch the sunset, which is said to be one of the most beautiful ones in Indonesia.

Also called the 'White Crater', Dolok Tinggi Raja is a natural hot spring with white limestone banks. The snow-white colour of the banks is the result of calcium carbonate deposits that are left after the hot spring waters pass flow over the rocks. As the water temperature can go as high as 90°C, you're not allowed to swim in it. The locals also call the place 'Snow Heat' due to the steam that it produces.

6. Harau Valley, Padang

Photographers love capturing shots of sunlight shining through the roof of the cave in Goa Jomblang. This cave is connected to other chambers within the cave system of Gunung Kidul, formed by rainwater and underground rivers that used to flow through it thousands of years ago. It's a 50m-deep cave, so you'll need to be lowered into it by rope.

Sunsets are the best things to see at Kenjeran Beach, especially on the famous Suramadu Bridge. It's a great place to escape the crowd to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.

If you're brave enough, head to the cliff diving area at Apparalang and take that leap of faith into the crystal blue waters; or you can just head to the docks to have a closer view of the clear waters. Apparalang is accessible via public transport from the city, but it's better to hire a private car to bring you there.

7 Controversial Statements Found In The Tamadun Islam Dan Tamadun Asia (TITAS) Book

On 14 June, news of a local university teaching its students that the Hindu community "preferred to be dirty" got locals riled up about the Islamic and Asian Civilisation Studies (TITAS) subject

Image via Facebook/ P.Kamalanathan

It was reportedly taught by a lecturer at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). The issue was brought up to the attention of the institution's vice-chancellor that assured the matter will be rectified. Less than a month later, on 28 July, a lecturer at the Multimedia University (MMU) reportedly taught his students that Osama bin Laden doesn't exist and that 9/11 is a mere conspiracy. These were taught during the Islamic and Asian Civilisation Studies (TITAS) class that was made a compulsory component for all Malaysia students pursuing tertiary education in local institutions.

What's really in the TITAS book? Were its contents misinterpreted by lecturers?

Image via Carousell

The TITAS module talks about the origins and development of both the Islamic and major Asian civilisations. It was introduced to teach tertiary education students about the history and culture of all these civilisations that greatly impacted the world. The authors of the book are Osman Bakar, Azizan Baharuddin, and Zaid Ahmad. It became a major subject of controversy when the then Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin introduced and made it part of the syllabus. Many argued that that the students risk being taught by religious fanatics and it might be a step further towards the Islamisation of the country but Muhyiddin refuted it by saying that it was just to streamline the requirements between public and private tertiary institutions.

We found a digital copy of the TITAS book and came across some questionable statements such as these 7 below:

We used a digital copy of the Modul Pengajian Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia as a reference, as the book was out of stock in most local bookstores. The 273 pages PDF version of the book was uploaded on Uploady, an online file hosting service.

1. "Apabila diimbas kembali akan kehebatan Islam dalam menguasai dunia semenjak zaman Nabi Muhammad SAW hinggalah kepada kejatuhan kerajaan Islam Sepanyol, kita melihat bahawa dunia hidup dalam era yang aman kerana tiadanya dasar penguasaan globalisasi Barat."

Image via TITAS PDF screenshot

Translation of the statement: The paragraph reads that Western superpowers have used their military powers to control countries that disagree with their principles and ideas. According to the TITAS module, this has lead to the widespread acts of violence and terrorism associated with the Islamic community.Under Unit 12: Isu-Isu Kontemporeri Tamadun Islam Dan Tamadun Barat- Hegemoni Barat Dan Globalisasi, the introductory chapter of this syllabus talks about the development of science and technology that has greatly affected the world's civilisations. While agreeing that those developments have positively impacted the world, the book also mentions that the western world's domination of globalisation has managed to penetrate into other parts of the world with their western ideas of economy, culture, thought-process and technology.

2. "Perang terhadap pengganas adalah 'modal baru' Barat bagi menindas negara-negara Islam pada hari ini."

Image via TITAS PDF screenshot

Translation of the statement: "This is clearly proven after the 9/11 attack that brought down the World Trade Center in the U.S. when the West was quick to blame the Islamic militant group, Al-Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden for the incident." Moving further into the topic of western influence under the chapter, 'Gerakan Hegemoni Barat' (The Western Hegemony Movement), TITAS states that the wars against terrorists is just a new form of Western model to suppress Islamic countries. Referring to America in particular, the module adds that they launched multiple 'wars' against other countries, especially Islamic ones, in their efforts to "conquer" the world. Hegemony is defined as the political, economic, or military predominance or control of one state over others.  The ghastly 9/11 attacks killed 2,996 people including 11 unborn babies, and injured 6,000 others. Following the attack, Osama was quick to disassociate himself from the act, by releasing a statement that was broadcasted on Al-Jazeera, stating that, "I stress that I have not carried out this act, which appears to have been carried out by individuals with their own motivation."However, in 2004, Osama released a taped statement acknowledging Al-Qaeda's involvement and his direct links to the 9/11 attacks.

3. "Tragedi 11 September 2001 mula dikatakan sebagai satu pembohongan besar yang sengaja diadakan bagi menghalalkan tindakan Bush untuk terus menyakiti umat Islam."

Image via TITAS PDF screenshot

Translation of the statement: "The September 11 attacks that happened in 2001 were said to be just a major lie that was deliberately spread to legitimise Bush's (former U.S. president from 2001-2009) actions to continue hurting to Islamic community." 9/11 attacks also saw the formation of many conspiracy theories surrounding the incident, rejecting the facts presenting by the U.S. government. One of it being that key individuals within the government planned the attacks or may have collaborated with the Al-Qaeda to carry out the attacks.However, the book does not denote on whether the statement was a theory or a proven fact.

4.  "Laporan media yang berat sebelah dan tanpa siasatan telah menuduh Osama bin Laden secara tidak langsung umpana menghalalkan segala tindakan Amerika."

Image via TITAS PDF screenshot

Translation of the statement: "The biased media reports that are based on little investigation have indirectly condoned everything that America has done." The chapter spills into talking extensively about the 9/11 tragedy. According to the TITAS syllabus, the unfair media reporting speaks all about the Islamic terrorism activities but fails to cover the atrocities of the Jewish regime in Israel.

5. "Dasar-dasar Barat yang diperkenalkan Inggeris telah mula tersebar dalam kotak fikiran masyarakat Melayu.  Walaupun Inggeris telah lama meninggalkan Tanah Melayu dan Tanah Melayu telah lama merdeka, namun dasar-dasar Inggeris masih digunapakai dan pemikiran masyarakat Melayu masih ke arah Barat hingga ke hari ini."

Image via TITAS PDF screenshot

Translation of the statement: "The western policies that were introduced by the English have penetrated into the minds of the Malay community. Despite the fact that the English have left Tanah Melayu and that we have already gained our independence, the policies left behind by the English are still used and is ingrained in the minds of the Malay community."Also, note the usage of the word Tanah Melayu which has not been used since the country officially became Malaysia in 1963.

6. "Oleh kerana Barat menguasai media komunikasi dunia, segala berita dan maklumat yang disiarkan di seluruh dunia adalah lebih berpihak kepada mereka dan menindas mana-mana negara yang tidak bersekongkol dengan mereka khususnya negara-negara Islam."

Image via TITAS PDF screenshot

Translation of the statement: "As the West holds the power over the communication media industry, all the news and information spread across the world is in favour of them and paints a negative picture of countries that refuse to "cooperate" with them, especially the Islamic countries." While talking about the effects of globalisation on Malaysian culture, economy and politics, the module also talks about the control and power the West have on the media and the kind of reports it churns out.  Instead of presenting facts, TITAS says that most of the western media goes out of its way to present Islamic countries in a bad manner.

7. "...Untuk itu, kita perlu menghadapi cabaran penyebaran idea-idea dan fahaman politik yang salah seperti demokrasi ala Barat, pluralisme dan
hak-hak asasi manusia."

Image via TITAS PDF screenshot

Translation of the statement: The statement basically asks people to not fall for wrong western ideas, including democracy, pluralism and human rights.

All things considered, the TITAS module does provide information on Asian and Islamic civilisation, but these statements, like many others are opinions, although they are not classified as such in the book

While these statements may even provide the students with a different point on view on these topics, some have argued that it may mislead the students into thinking that they are facts as opposed to the opinions they really are.Meanwhile, Deputy Education Minister P. Kamalanathan expressed his utmost disappointment over the inaccurate information in the TITAS module about Sikhism and Hinduism. "I can't help but feel only someone who willfully and purposefully filled with ill intent would produce such a document," read a Facebook post on P. Kamalanathan's Facebook page on 14 June about the issue.However, he stressed that UTM's vice-chancellor has assured that changes will be made immediately to the module, referring to the part in the book that mentions Hindus "preferred to be dirty".

Three Canadian prisoners made a daring escape from Orsainville Detention Center, near Quebec City, Saturday evening when a helicopter dropped down and picked them up, according to the AP. The helicopter flew off toward the west and the men were not immediately recaptured. It's the second helicopter-aided inmate escape in Quebec province in two years.

Provincial police identified the escapees as:

Sgt. Audrey-Anne Bilodeau, a spokesperson for the Surete du Quebec, the provincial police force, said police were searching for a green helicopter with red and white markings that landed at the prison, though she didn’t know whether it landed in a prison yard, on a building or nearby. She said it was last seen heading west from Quebec City.

        nbcnews.com

Lefebvre and Lamontagne were both arrested in 2010 during a massive drug bust, according to CBC

During the bust, police confiscated a plane, 41 vehicles, and a stockpile of weapons, among other things. They are believed to have connections to the Hells Angels.

        cbc.ca

This is the second time in less than two years that a helicopter has been used to free Canadian prisoners

The previous incident happened in March of 2013 when a pilot was forced at gunpoint to pick up two men from another prison in Quebec, according to the AP.

According to the confessions, it is not uncommon for doctors to give money to their patients so that they can afford food

"As a doctor at a Klinik Kesihatan (Health Clinic), I frequently have to give money to my patients so they can buy food," one doctor explained.They went on to say that they had previously given money to a patient who could not afford to buy baby formula for her toddler.One medical student also recounted seeing a doctor slip a few RM50 notes to a patient, who was a homeless woman with a baby, while handing over their document."The doctor's kindness inspired me and made me rethink about life," said the student.

The Instagram post also revealed that some doctors would also travel to other clinics to get medications for their patients or use their own money to buy medical devices

"Even in tertiary hospitals, we sometimes need to buy food or medical devices for our patients," said one doctor.They went on to say that they had once bought an oxygen tank and a spirometry device to help their patients get the proper treatment in time.Another doctor stated that they had previously travelled to other clinics to help look for the right medication for their patients."I did everything with my own money," they said.

Some doctors have also helped patients who needed assistance getting home from the hospital

According to one doctor, some patients have slept at the hospital because they missed the last bus that could take them home."Doctors or nurses would order Grab for them so they wouldn't have to stay overnight in the hospital," they explained.Another doctor who also worked at a Klinik Kesihatan confessed that he had elderly patients who lived in rural areas and could not afford to travel to his clinic.The doctor added that these patients usually have to wait for hours just to get on a bus and get to their appointments.He went on to say that he had previously participated in an outreach programme to check on elderly patients and discovered that most were living in poor conditions."I wish we could get more help to those in rural areas," he said.

Malaysians Share Their Tried-And-Tested Tips To Save Money That Actually Work

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

Who doesn't want more money? Right, guys? Hehehe!

Image via GIPHY

We all know that we should set aside money for savings, so that we'll have funds on hand when faced with an emergency or to keep our lifestyles going once we retire. But... that's easier said than done, kan?From spending on necessities like rent, food, and bills to treating ourselves to fun outings and buying things we like, it can be easy for us to use up our gaji before we can even think about setting aside some for savings.

That's why we decided to ask everyday Malaysians to share their tried-and-tested tips to save money that actually work.
Here's what they said:

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

1. "I basically downgrade everything, from groceries and daily essentials, to clothing and other wants"

Image via GIPHY

"I've noticed how much I can save just by slightly downgrading my lifestyle, or being more conscious of how I shop. For instance, I steer clear of fancy groceries, and instead go to supermarkets as they offer affordable food items and other low price items."Instead of fish (average RM20-RM30 per piece), I eat chicken as my main protein (average RM5 per piece)."Also, when it comes to essentials like toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner, I just buy whichever is on sale, regardless of brand. Baju also I buy only when got discount. No discount, then put it in the basket and wait… Good things come to those who wait."- Uzayr, 23

2. "When it comes to meat and seafood, buy frozen instead of fresh"

Image via GIPHY

"Saving doesn't always mean you have to skimp on the good stuff, you just have to know where and how to get the most bang for your buck."For example, you can easily get frozen salmon fillets for just RM10 online. But of course, you need to do your research and find good sellers lah."- Amira, 35

3. "I don't have time to read up on business news, so I use a robo advisor and auto debit every month"

Image via GIPHY

"I used to find it very hard to set aside money every month for my savings, but now I use a 'forced savings' method to transfer out some money every month when my salary comes in. This way, the money is out of sight, out of mind."I also use a robo advisor app to help me invest the money I set aside. Most apps now allow you to set your risk profile, and it's just way easier instead of investing manually."- Sein, 40

4. "Why join a gym when there are tonnes of free workout apps and videos out there?"

Image via GIPHY

"There are lots of fitness apps now that are free and customisable. I also follow some social media workout influencers, who have over 100 workouts on IGTV and YouTube, which I can do in the comfort of home without paying for a gym membership."Also, you don't really need branded goods to workout, just make sure that your shoes are comfy and provide sufficient support."- Clara, 22

5. "I make a spreadsheet of all my credit cards, to make sure that I get the most out of the benefits every month"

Image via GIPHY

"I have a few active credit cards on hand, and I always keep a lookout for cards that offer better benefits and sign-up freebies. You have to know which type of card rewards suits your lifestyle and spending, whether it's cashback, discounts, or other perks."For me, I tend to prefer cashback. To maximise my cashback, I keep track of all the cards I own, and make sure I spend in each category (e.g. petrol, food, groceries, e-wallet top up) every month."With this method, I can get around RM40-RM50 cashback per card, per month. And all this is just based on what I would spend on a normal monthly basis."- Kerry, 36

6. "I'm not very good with numbers and stuff, so I just make things as simple as possible for my poor brain hahaha"

Image via GIPHY

"Basically, I do freelance work in addition to my full-time job. The salary from my full-time job goes into one account, and that's the account that I do all my spending from. Meanwhile, whatever I earn from my freelance work goes directly into my savings account, which I make sure not to touch at all."So, it's like a form of 'auto-saving' in a way, 'cause there's a constant source of money going into my savings account every month. And the best part is that I don't have to think about how much of my salary I should put aside for savings."- Ily, 30

7. "When I go out jalan-jalan, I only bring a limited amount of cash with me and leave my cards at home"

Image via GIPHY

"Yes, yes, I know this sounds super weird now when everyone's going cashless. But I find that I'm really able to save quite a bit this way."Whenever I go out, I set a limit of how much I want to spend during that outing, and only bring that exact amount of cash with me. So, if I say I'm only gonna spend RM50, then I bring RM50 cash je lah."Once it habis, that's it. I'm not allowed to spend more. And 'cause I only brought that exact amount with me and left my cards at home, I have no way to spend more and I am forced to stick to my budget."- Azian, 31

8. "I gamify my saving process by constantly trying different money-saving challenges. It's fun!"

Image via GIPHY

"I've always thought of finance-related stuff as something boring, so I found a way to make it fun. There are lots of money-saving challenges out there, and I keep trying different ones. Saving money ends up feeling like a game to me, which makes me more motivated to keep doing it 'cause I wanna 'win'!"So far, the one I enjoyed the most was the Dice Rolling Saving Challenge, where you basically roll a pair of dice every day and whatever number you get, that's how much you have to set aside as savings."You save small amounts every day, but it really adds up in the end. If you wanna up the challenge, you can roll multiple pairs of dice to get bigger numbers."- Vinothini, 38

9. "Remember that there's no 'one-size-fits-all' method for saving, you have to be open to adapting according to your current situation"

Image via GIPHY

"In my case, I run my own business. During the MCO period, it was really difficult to contribute to my savings as my business was struggling and not making much profit."So, I decided to put aside the thought of saving for a while and focus on keeping my business afloat. I even ended up having to take money out of my retirement savings to pump into my business."But now that things are finally picking up again, my priority has shifted to making sure I restore the retirement savings I used, especially during the months when I earn more."It's important to always look at the situation you're in and adapt accordingly, rather than stubbornly stick to one method of saving."- Tomi, 36

10. "Most people don't realise that increasing your monthly EPF contribution can help you accumulate a lot more in the long-run"

Image via GIPHY

"One easy way to save for your future is by upping your monthly EPF contribution. Even if it's just by a bit, it can make a whole lot of difference down the road."When I first started working, I decided to talk to my HR and contribute 13% instead of the usual 11%. That, plus my employer's mandatory contribution, meant that 25% of my salary was going towards savings."Now, after almost 12 years of working, I have seen my EPF savings amount snowball. That's why I encourage fresh grads to make that extra 1-2% of contribution.

11. "Getting insurance might be one of the best decisions you'll ever make"

"So my sister-in-law had to undergo a major surgery, which would have cost a bomb. But, thankfully, it was covered by her insurance, so she didn't feel the pinch. After that incident, it kinda got me thinking...what if I was in her shoes?"The scary thing is I don't have insurance coverage, and I always thought I didn't need one ‘cause I’m still young. I'd much rather use the money instead to go on trips, shop, basically to enjoy myself. However, that would mean that I won't be able to cover any emergency medical expenses on my own. T_T"So I asked around, and found out about i-Lindung from an influencer on Twitter. It’s a new insurance product under EPF, offering health coverage for emergencies and treating critical illnesses. The protection plans offered are simple to understand and affordable. And it’s just a 1-time payment for a year’s coverage, which will be deducted from my EPF Account 2. This way, I don't have to worry too much about missing my monthly payments and risk of a policy lapse."- Ayu, 26

A 58-Year-Old Man Died From Having Sex With A Scarecrow

#TrueStory, we couldn't believe it either when the news broke

Image via reactiongifs

Shepherd Jose Alberto, 58 was found dead next to a scarecrow in his home by police. He allegedly died after having sex with it.

Image via Montgomery News

A shepherd was found dead after apparently having sex with a scarecrow. Neighbours led police to the Argentinian man’s body after they rang the local council about a foul smell coming from Jose Alberto’s home in San Jose de Balcare. Police later found Alberto, 58, whose rotting remains were found next to the scarecrow.

        news.com.au

Yes, you read correctly.

The defiled scarecrow was mistaken as another body at first but was later identified as it was dressed in a wig, wearing lipstick and a strap-on penis

Image via NY Daily News

"During a first visual inspection it appeared that there were two dead bodies. Then it was found that actually one of the bodies was a doll with special features," said prosecutor Rodolfo Moure. "I initially thought there were two bodies but then I realised one was a scarecrow wearing lipstick and a long-haired wig. It was lying next to the deceased and had a six-inch strap-on penis."

        ibtimes.co.uk

"Straw had been stuffed inside the old clothes that had been sewn together to make the scarecrow", he added.

        mirror.co.uk

The police couldn't find any evidence of violence or robbery, so it could only mean one thing...

Image via Noted From Camelid Country

Mr Moure said there were no signs of violence, or a robbery at the scene of the man’s death. “We are working on the assumption that the man died during sex with the scarecrow,” Mr Moure said. “We are now waiting the results of an autopsy.” It is understood the man lived alone and didn’t have a mobile phone.

The sudden death of Karpal Singh has left a huge void not only in the lives of his family members, but also in the lives of residents of Jelutong, who had fondly given him the moniker "Tiger of Jelutong"

Although Karpal, who defended his Jelutong seat for 21 years from 1978 to 1999, was known for his sharp and caustic comments of his opponents, be it in politics or in court, to the Jelutong residents he was a gentle, humble soul who was always there for them. When news of his death spread, it could be said that besides Karpal’s family and his DAP comrades, the people of Jelutong – a working class area with narrow roads and mostly low and middle-class homes – were the most affected. Karpal, after all, was their most famous product.

        thestar.com.my

Karpal Singh was a man of the people, as "he spoke of policies and of making them better for the people"

A 68-year-old resident, who only wished to be known as Tan, said Karpal made Jelutong famous. “Every Malaysian knew of Jelutong after he became MP, especially after people started calling him the Tiger of Jelutong. I’m just so sad that he died due to an accident, not because of old age,” he said, adding that Karpal was the first person the residents thought of contacting whenever they faced a problem in the constituency.

In Penang, about 100 attended the event organised by ATC college law students at the Esplanade, where the crowd lit candles and placed them on a banner printed with the names of Karpal and his personal assistant Michael Cornelius. As mourners wrote messages on the banner, the crowd held white candles and observed a minute of silence to pray for Karpal’s and Michael’s souls.

Similar vigil was held at Dataran Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur last night where some 150 people, mostly clad in black turned up to show their respect for Karpal. They illuminated the night with their white candles and wrote farewell messages on a scrapbook on a table beside Karpal's portrait that bore the words 'Karpal Singh: True Malaysian'.

School Canteen Operators Are Urging For More Subsidies To Keep Students' Meals Affordable

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

School canteen operators are urging the government to let them buy cooking ingredients at further subsidised rates to maintain affordably-priced meals for students

According to The Star, Malaysian School Canteen Operators Association secretary Siti Normah Md Desa suggested that canteen operators should be allowed to buy subsidised cooking oil, which is currently only sold for domestic use."We are serving schoolchildren who mostly can't afford expensive meals. Perhaps we should be allowed access to some vital ingredients at subsidised rates," said Normah."For example, a kilogram of chicken was RM8.50 last week, and now it has increased by another RM2.80 to RM11.30."

Normah also asked for a better rental system for school canteen operators to keep their operating costs low

She said canteen operators currently cannot adjust food and drink prices on their own as agreed upon their two-year-long tender contracts.Due to this, many operators that submitted their tenders in 2021 for the 2022 school year have lost a lot of money amidst the ongoing price hike of ingredients.Subsequently, more than 40% of the association's 10,200 members nationwide have chosen not to continue with their operations at the end of their contracts because of the losses."Some even resorted to hiring a 'caretaker' operator while waiting for their contracts to expire," she added.

She also said only new operators would have their tenders factoring in the higher costs and be able to adjust their prices

"Operators on previous tender contracts are still selling at the old prices," she said.However, she added that canteen food in schools nationwide was still relatively cheap and affordable."Pocket money of RM4 is enough for fried rice with a fried egg and a glass of water at most school canteens."

School bus fares also saw a recent hike, making parents worry about the rising cost of living:

It's Easy For Anyone To Tell You're Malaysian When...

1. Your hand has magical powers

Image via imgur.com

Just by holding it up and in front of you, you can stop incoming car traffic – no matter how fast and intimidating. Car, van, or lorry – they all obey the hand. Also, raising your hand gets you past security guards in residential areas. It’s a short, powerful, Malaysian way of communicating the "I come in peace" message.

        bit.ly

2. You call everyone "boss"

“Boss, kuah lebih sikit!”
Image via Astro Awani

You don’t work for any of them. Your lawyer, your barber, the guy serving you at the mamak – they’re all your “boss”. For example, we might say, “Boss, kuah lebih sikit!” to a waiter. It makes no sense at all, but it’s friendly and respectful. In Malaysia, we’re all bosses and that’s the way we like it.

        bit.ly

3. The words “sale” and “free” excite you like an all-you-can-eat buffet (which also excites you)

Image via imgur.com

What could be more Malaysian than going crazy at the news of sales, discounts, and free giveaways? The cheaper and the freer, the better. We’re able to queue at 7 a.m. for a sale, but find it difficult to get up for work at 9 a.m. Our non-official slogan is basically “Boss, give discount lah."

        bit.ly

4. You hope for a public holiday whenever we win at sports

Image via Astro Awani

Whether it’s our badminton stars at the Thomas Cup, our football team at the AFF Suzuki Cup, or our athletes at the Olympic games – you hope for a public holiday if we do well. When Lee Chong Wei won in the recent Thomas Cup Final, Malaysians jumped joyously in their living rooms, believing a public holiday would follow. A sports victory is a big deal and the nation should celebrate it by being allowed to… sleep in.

        bit.ly

5. You almost always end sentences with "lah"

Image via wordpress.com

Can lah. No lah. Come on lah. "Lah" is as adaptable as Malaysians. You can use it for the weather - "so hot lah." You can use it for price - "so expensive lah." You can use it for disbelief - "No lah, where got?"

        bit.ly

6. You’re willing to travel for good food. When you travel abroad, you crave the nasi, the mee, the curry, the kuih, the roti, the...

Image via themalaymailonline.com

Food is so important to us that we’re willing to travel great lengths for it. A 4-hour drive to Penang for some authentic nasi kandar? No problem, man! To us, life is like a journey, and at the end of that journey, we eat. Even when we travel abroad, we start craving for Malaysian food after a few days – home is where our stomach is.

        bit.ly

7. You feel something is missing if your food isn't spicy enough

Image via wordpress.com

To us, throwing pepper on something doesn’t qualify as ‘spicy’. Spicy means bringing in the big guns - sambal belacan, cili potong, cili padi. We like chilli on everything we eat! This isn’t just limited to local food. Whether when eating chicken wings or pizzas, we always like an extra helping of chilli sauce or chilli flakes. We like our food as tough, dramatic, and sweat-inducing as a wrestling match. We’re not bland and our food shouldn’t be either.

        bit.ly

8. Speaking of food, you like it smelly too...

Image via imgur.com

Mm-hm! Bring on the durians, our petai, belacan and our cincalok. While their smell might put off the rest of the world, we know there's NOTHING like it. We wear our love for the world’s stinkiest foods like a badge of honour.

        bit.ly

9. You've developed a habit to feed your phone before you feed yourself

"Wait ah, take picture first..."
Image via imgur.com

We take pictures of everything we eat for our friends to see on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We've got skills arranging the roti canai to look fluffiest, the fried chicken thigh to look extra juicy and the lemon cheesecake to look like it was sliced out of a magazine. Today, posting food photos on social media has become the best way of documenting and sharing our every day lives.

        bit.ly

10. You have an in-built clock that's tuned to 'Malaysian timing' and you arrive 30 minutes late for anything

Image via imgur.com

Whether it’s an office meeting, a wedding, or even a mamak session with friends, we’re always 30 minutes late. At least. We call this ‘Malaysian timing’. And how many times have we told others via phone that we're “on the way” when we were still wearing our shoes at the door of our home?

        bit.ly

How many of those points applied to you?

We're guessing more than a few. As we approach our 57th year of independence, let’s remember that we’ve got more in common, as Malaysians, with each other than we even know.

myBurgerLab Has New Stuff On Their Menu And They're All Pretty Kick Ass

myBurgerLab needs no introduction, what with them making headlines with their bold flavours and signature charcoal buns. Just when you think they couldn't get crazier, they're back with even wackier - yet insanely delicious - food combos!

Image via myBurgerLab

The lovely people from myBurger invited us to try out their new addition to the menu. These are our honest opinions and no, they did not pay us to say any of this, okay! They just fed us delicious food. ;)

Coney Fries - A sharing basket of skinny fries, seasoned with salt, topped with minced BBQ beef, cheese sauce and raw onion

The Coney Fries is the only item not on the menu yet.
Image via SAYS

Lee Yee: Tastes just like A&W's Coney Dog! Oh man, brings me back to my childhood days. Would prefer it with thick cut fries though, "meatier" and can soak up the sauce.Samantha: Eh, it's spicy. I've never had Coney Dog before, so I didn't know what to expect. Feels like fries might have been left out for a bit too long.Ruxyn: Would love it with cottage fries cause they're thicker.

The Bulbasaur - A fried chicken patty burger topped with cheddar cheese, with kombu (seaweed) mayo, a sunny side up, finished with green salsa

Image via SAYS

Samantha: OMG it has an egg. Egg + chicken is always genius. The chicken patty is not dry and very tender. Also, I would rather not have the seaweed mayo.Ruxyn: After the first bite, I just had to stop eating and take a picture of the burger.  The sight of the sunny side up was just glorious. Seaweed in a burger was interesting...Lee Yee: The chicken patty is so tender, yet crispy at the same time. Thumbs up! Okay, so Samantha isn't the biggest fan of the seaweed mayo, but personally for me, IT'S THE BEST PART! But then again, I'm a huge seaweed fan heh.

Image via emmaphoon.tumblr.com

The Bait & Switch - An incredibly addictive, Thai and Kelantanese influenced juicy, crispy fried chicken thigh patty burger with raw onion, cilantro, lemon juice and budu mayo

The patty was so crispy yet so tender, we could cut through it with a plastic knife!
Image via SAYS

Lee Yee: This is sooo gooood. The super crispy fried chicken patty plus the Thai flavours are spot on. I need more of this. I can see why they say it's as addictive as cocaine.Samantha: OMG I love this! The lemongrass is a "bam" in da face. And that fried patty is tender AF.Ruxyn: I taste lemongrass and can instantly tell it's Thai-inspired. Also, it’s crispy fried chicken but why do I feel so healthy eating this. It doesn't feel greasy or heavy at all.

Image via @bernard_ting/Instagram

The Kaiju Burger - A Pacific Rim inspired beef burger drenched in Teriyaki sauce, topped with smoked salmon, spring onion, raw onion, and finished with some ebiko

Image via SAYS

Ruxyn: Why got chap (sauce) one. Okay, it can get a bit messy.Samantha: Tastes nothing like Pacific Rim. The beef is a bit dry but then again, I like my steaks medium rare. Heh. Also, I can't taste the ebiko at all.Lee Yee: It's a good flavour combination, but nothing mindblowing. The ebiko got lost in the texture of the salmon and the beef, since they're quite delicate in nature and don't really taste of anything. Could do without, honestly. Can save cost!

Image via myBurgerLab

The Stinkbomb - A beef burger topped with grilled pineapple, minced chicken sambal petai, cheddar cheese and blue cheese. Not for the faint-hearted!

Image via SAYS

(I made it a point to make everyone take a good sniff of it because they always torture me by making me smell durian when they eat dem stinky fruit in the office.)Lee Yee: Definitely not a first date type of burger. The smell is crazy overpowering but oddly enough, this combination works. It tastes better than it smells. I can see myself ordering this but without the blue cheese.Samantha: Oh, I can smell the cheese. It smells like feet. The petai is minced, so it's not so bad. It's quite good lah, quite salty in some parts. It's like durian, it tastes nicer than it looks.Ruxyn: To be honest, I was a little scared to try it out but it’s not as bad as it smells! In fact, the taste of petai and blue cheese was actually milder than I expected.

Image via myBurgerLab

Lava Brownies - Fudgy brownie served hot in a pan topped with 3 (OMG) scoops of vanilla ice-cream and drizzled chocolate sauce. One word: SINFUL!

The awesome brownie is supplied by Project C, birthed by the same team that brought myBurgerLab!
Image via SAYS

Ruxyn: I loved it so much that I was still thinking about it when I went home. Needless to say, I would definitely come back even if it's just for the brownies because it’s SO GOOD.Samantha: SH-T THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!! Who needs drugs when you have this?! Lee Yee: I would give up my firstborn for this.

Image via myBurgerLab

We didn't even know what to say except repeating "SO GOOD" over and over again. Seriously though, this is not "just another brownie". You might be full as hell after your burger, but you have to make room for this. It will blow your mind (and your pants button)!Fun fact: The fudgy, dense, chocolatey brownie was actually discovered by accident when one of the ingredients added was more than the recipe called for. Well, it's the most delicious accident ever.

Seriously, do yourself a favour and grab one of these burgers at myBurgerLab now. Also, REMEMBER TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE BROWNIES!

Love At First Sight: Indian Man Weds Chinese Bride After Praying For Love At Taoist Temple

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

Ask and you shall receive.
That was certainly the case for an Indian man who met his beautiful bride at a Taoist temple in Singapore.

According to Shin Min Daily News, 26-year-old insurance broker Rishi Kumar told reporters in fluent Mandarin, that he was praying for fortune and love at the temple five years ago when he met Jiang Huiyi, who was working there at the time.Like a cliché love story, when Rishi was done praying and had planted his incense sticks, he turned around and saw his future bride. It was love at first sight for Rishi, who immediately went to chat with her.Rishi was 20 years old while Jiang was 24 years old when they first met.

The couple officially began dating in January last year after Rishi spent five years pursuing his future bride

Rishi said that he would consistently visit the same temple where Jiang worked to pray and spend time with her. Jiang was initially apprehensive about beginning a relationship with Rishi because of their age difference, and she thought that he was too young for her. However, thanks to Rishi's perseverance, the pair got married last month on 26 September.

Image via 新加坡韮菜芭城隍庙 Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple

As both the bride and groom are devout Taoists and had met at a Taoist temple, it made sense for them to get hitched at one

The pair tied the knot at the Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple in Singapore. The ceremony was documented on the temple's Facebook page, where they featured the couple's marriage registration plus some romantic photos of the pair posing together.Their wedding was witnessed by several friends and family members and was officiated by the Taoist Federation (Singapore) chairman, Tan Thiam Lye.

6 Unforgettable Cheese Trends In Malaysia That We Still Can't Stop Thinking About

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

We gotta love cheese, right?

Image via GIPHY

We're all crazy about cheese! In fact, we love cheese so much that we've even added it to numerous Malaysian dishes like nasi lemak, char kuey teow, and even bak kut teh, omggg. Plus, whenever new cheese creations come about, we definitely showed how much we love them! From hour-long queues in shopping malls just to try out new creations, to buying new baking tools to bake cheesecakes, we go the extra mile for cheese, hehe.

Jom, let's take a look at these memorable cheese trends:

1. Cheese tea

Image via Eat This, Not That!

Who would have thought that cheese would actually pair well with tea? :oWe discovered this beverage several years ago, where the sweet black or green tea is topped with a creamy, cheesy foam. Upon taking a sip, you get an explosion of flavours, first tasting the saltiness of the foam, followed by hints of sweetness from the tea, yum! And now, even fruit-flavoured teas like mango, strawberry, and banana are commonly topped with cheese foam.

2. Basque Burnt Cheesecake

This cheese trend was all the rage in 2020, especially when the first MCO was announced back in March. As we had to stay at home, we couldn't help but jump on the burnt cheesecake hype.The craze for burnt cheesecake still stands today, 'cause like, why would we ever get tired of cheese? And throughout MCO, Malaysians have come up with interesting burnt cheesecake flavours as well, such as pandan, coffee, boba, and even earl grey!

3. Korean food with cheese

There are soooo many yummy Korean dishes we have come to love, such as Korean stew, bbq, bibimbap, japchae, and kimchi fried rice, all of which pair incredibly well with cheese! Other than adding a creamy texture to the dishes, the cheese also helps to tone down the spiciness as well, because Korean food can get reeeeaally spicy! And whenever there's a new Korean dish that highlights cheese, you gotta be prepared to queue for hours or make reservations because it's gonna get crazyyyy. :p

4. Instant noodles with cheese

Whether soup or dry, instant noodles pair surprisingly well with cheese. While it adds a creamy flavour to your noodles, it also helps to make spicy noodles milder.In most cases, a slice of cheese is usually added to a bowl of cooked and seasoned instant noodles, so that it slowly melts to give your noodles an extra pull! Plus, instant noodles with cheese became so popular that several brands even came up with new cheese flavours.

5. Pisang goreng cheese

Pisang goreng is definitely every Malaysian's favourite snack to munch on, especially during breaks and teatime. When pisang goreng cheese was first introduced, most were skeptical at first, but now the snack is widely popular! Many stalls also add chocolate to the pisang goreng cheese for extra sweetness.

6. Japanese cheese tart

We've seen various cheese tarts in bakeries and markets, including common ones like blueberry cheese tart and strawberry cheese tart. In 2016, however, when the Japanese cheese tart was introduced, it was all the rage! Remember the snake-like queues for Japanese cheese tarts, guys? Malaysians were trying to get their hands on the cheese tarts, which even led to them buying in bulk on behalf of their friends and families.Since then, Japanese cheese tarts have been a staple snack or dessert for many. It comes with a soft, cheesy custard that's sweet and creamy to the taste, which also complements the crumbly tart.

Chuppppp, we're not done yet! To all the cheese lovers out there, remember the KFC Zinger Cheezilla?

Muhyiddin Says He Met Ismail To Discuss Posts For Deputy Prime Minister, Ministers & GLCs

Pagoh member of parliament (MP) Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, a powerful figure in the current ruling coalition, has met Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to discuss some pertinent issues

Bersatu president Muhyiddin, whose Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition controls 48 seats in the parliament, said that the meeting was held several days ago and raised the previous agreement between PN and Ismail.Muhyiddin, who is the shortest-serving prime minister in Malaysian history, raised a number of important issues such as appointments in the government to fill vacancies and also ask for new posts."We are not asking for more (than what has been agreed upon), but only about the appointment of a deputy prime minister (DPM) and ministers as well as those involving government-linked agencies (GLCs) and statutory bodies as well as the government's allocations," he said during a press conference.The former prime minister shared this when he was asked to comment on the status of Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin who recently resigned from his party, Bersatu.For the record, the current Cabinet has not appointed a deputy prime minister.

At the same time, Muhyiddin, who holds a Cabinet minister-level position as the chairperson of the National Recovery Council (NRC), claimed he will resign from the post if that's what people want

"I leave it to the public to evaluate us [...] I am in the council to help the country and the government.  If the rakyat says, 'Muhyiddin enough', I will stop. I do this pro bono. I have not asked for a single sen. I'm not getting paid anything. I genuinely want to help. That’s my aim," the NRC chairperson told reporters.He was responding to a statement by UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who has called for the NRC to be scrapped now that the government has formed a committee to wage "jihad" on inflation.The committee is called the Special Task Force on Jihad Against Inflation.According to Zahid Hamidi, the NRC has not shown results and is basically a platform for Muhyiddin."The NRC was only given to Muhyiddin to boost his image and his party. The NRC has failed. It is time to abolish this council and free up government officials from attending NRC meetings that are ineffective. I advise Muhyiddin to use other platforms to contribute ideas as a former prime minister," he said.

For the record, the NRC chairperson is appointed and not elected

People, no matter how much they wish, have no say in calling for the chairperson's resignation.On 1 September 2021, when Muhyiddin was appointed to the post, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali said that the appointment was made on the basis of the government's confidence in Muhyiddin's ability to lead strategies for national recovery, in order to achieve the best economic impact and restore the lives of the people who were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, UMNO's Tajuddin Abdul Rahman recently revealed that party members supported Anwar to become the prime minister:

M'sian Garbage Collector Working In SG Returns iPad To Owner 1 Year After It Went Missing

A garbage collector in Singapore recently shared the heartwarming story of him returning a stranger's iPad that has been missing for over a year

On Wednesday, 2 December, Twitter user @EdaySam_, whose real name is Muhammad Khidir Samsudin, uploaded several photos along with the caption, "1 December was a great day for us! Leave it here for our memory. I'm Malaysian!"

Image via @EdaySam_ (Twitter)

Image via Michelle Lim (Facebook)

He included screenshots of a Facebook post by a woman named Michelle Lim. It read, "Lost my iPad Pro more than a year ago. Today around 7pm, checked my email and saw 'FOUND YOUR IPAD' in my inbox! Least expected that it was real. These two good samaritans are with SembWaste (Senoko Depot). Eday contacted me. Shocked and surprised, I almost cried.""My heartfelt thanks to Eday and Yuamirul. They are Malaysians working here in Singapore," she added.

Image via @EdaySam_ (Twitter)

In an interview with SAYS, Khidir shared that while collecting trash, he found the iPad in a plastic bag along with a broken laptop

Khidir is actually a 25-year-old who has been working in Singapore for roughly three months.He is from Batu Pahat, Johor and is a Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) graduate with a degree in development science.When he found the iPad, he was working with another garbage collector name Yuamirul and the garbage truck driver, Wan Hanafiah.

"Our lorry just took the blue recycling bin and while I was collecting rubbish inside, I saw a plastic bag with an iPad and a laptop in it. The iPad looked like it was in good condition but the laptop was already broken. So I decided to take the iPad to check whether it was still working. After our job was done, I charged the iPad and found that it was working fine."Khidir said that there was no password set on the iPad but he found the owner's Apple ID. Initially, he thought that the owner had thrown the iPad away because it was common to find gadgets in the rubbish."Maybe because they want to upgrade their gadget and throw away their old one," he said.

Image via @EdaySam_ (Twitter)

From the Apple ID, Khidir saw Michelle's email and he decided to get a confirmation on whether she lost the iPad or threw it away herself.
Michelle then replied and said that the iPad went missing over a year ago.

"I put my contact number in the email and waited for a response. Surprisingly, she contacted that night and said that she lost the iPad a year ago. Then we planned a meet up to return the iPad," he explained. "When I got the message from her, I called her immediately. Her voice sounded excited but she also wanted to cry. When we met to pass the iPad, she looked so happy. I knew that the iPad must have been important and meaningful to her."He said that as a reward, Michelle bought him and Yuamirul a meal.

Gutsy 12-Year-Old Bites Off Alleged Rapist's Penis When Forced To Give Him A Blowjob

In a sudden turn of events, a rapist got what he deserved when his 12-year-old victim fought back and drew blood by chomping on his penis

The rapist, who works as a fishmonger in Kuching, Sarawak, brought his victim to an abandoned house in Jalan Masja and raped her at about 1.30pm

Not satisfied with just raping the child, he then forced the girl to perform oral sex on him. However, the plucky child then bit back – like LITERALLY!

“Taking her chance, the victim bit the suspect’s private part until it bled,” a source said.

Wracked with pain, the injured suspect sent the victim home, where she informed her mother about what had happened and they proceeded to lodge a report

“Police picked up the suspect from his house. He was sent to the hospital for examination to his injuries,” a source said, adding that the case would be investigated under section 376 of the Penal Code for rape.
