Dear KTM Commuters, Here Are Some Good And Bad News For You

Malaysians who frequently use the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) trains would be pleased to know that the waiting time for trains is expected to be reduced by half come 2019

Image via Tourism Malaysia Blog

KTMB's grand plan is to slash the KTM Komuter waiting time on the Klang to Kuala Lumpur route by half – from 15 minutes to 7.5 minutes.“For the 'Metro' standard, the frequency is around 3.5 minutes, but we cannot achieve that. The maximum we can go to is 7.5 minutes,” KTMB project division general manager Ismail Said was quoted as saying by Malay Mail Online.

However, KTMB will roll out a new schedule tomorrow, 27 May, that will see longer queues for trains, with wait times expected to double or more for the next few years in order to facilitate the upgrading works

Image via Twitter @501Awani

KTM Komuter passengers have been advised to take note of the train schedule, which would be revised from time to time due to the upgrading works. The project will commence in four phases: Phase 1A includes Rawang until Simpang Batu, Phase 1B will comprise Kuala Lumpur until Simpang Pelabuhan Klang, Phase 2 (Simpang Batu - Kuala Lumpur); Phase 3 (Sentul - Simpang Batu) and Phase 4 (Simpang Pelabuhan Klang - Salak Selatan).

        nst.com.my

The lower frequency is necessary to allow for scheduled shutting down of tracks to carry out various works under the RM1.41 billion project, such as the laying of new tracks that will be easier to maintain, Ismail said.

        themalaymailonline.com

Ismail added that bus services will be provided as an alternative transportation in the four-year period of upgrading works

The project is expected to be completed on 1 November 2019. KTBM hopes that the project will not only reduce waiting time but also improve the quality of railway infrastructure and system to sustain the increased frequency of train services in Klang Valley, and ultimately to improve passengers' comfort and safety. KTMB general manager Azshidah Shah Shahari reportedly gave the assurance that the KTM Komuter fare will not be increased after the upgrading works are completedThe public can visit KTMB's website for more updates.

Last month, hundreds of people found themselves stuck in the KTM train for at least an hour as all service routes were disrupted due to the broken rail switch:

                Malaysians Were Late To Work And Missed Their Flights Due To 2-Hour KTM Standstill

It all started with a broken switch rail.

Cat That Gives No Crap About Kids Covering It With Leaves Is Me As 2022 Nears

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

When you've been through enough in life, you reach a level of zen that nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can affect you.
Not even a couple of kids.

Take this cat, for example, that recently went viral for being utterly unfazed by what was happening to it.

Image via Veronica JL NG (Facebook)

A woman in Singapore was in shock for a split moment when she found her community cat lying completely still on the ground like a corpse covered in leaves

Veronica JL Ng, who works at PetReview, wrote that she drove over to give the cat some love.To her surprise, she found what she thought was a 'crime scene' instead.

Image via Veronica JL NG (Facebook)

"Fortunately, he moved!" she wrote in a Facebook post that has been shared over 800 times since yesterday, 20 December.She said that there were two kids placing leaves on and around him for the sweetest reason. "They told me that it may rain and the cat may get cold. So they make a house which are the leaves around Mr Kitty and blanket to keep him from the cold which are the leaves on him. (sic)"

Image via Veronica JL NG (Facebook)

Touched by their act of kindness, she decided to stay on and have a chat with the girls, while telling them that the cat's name is Precious and sharing several stories about him

One of the girls said she felt that there were not enough leaves for the cat and informed Ng that she was going to look for more. While all this was going on, Precious just laid there completely chill about it all.

Image via Veronica JL NG (Facebook)

"I love children who love to do nice things for cats and dogs. This really made my Monday!!!" Ng wrote in the post.We don't know if Precious was simply basking in all the attention or just couldn't be bothered. Either way, we stan an accommodating cat!

Check out her full Facebook post below:

11 Simple Ways To Make Your Hair Healthier And Keep It Looking Beautiful

If you're Malaysian, you'll probably understand the struggles of taking care of your hair in Malaysia's hot, humid weather

Image via Giphy

We looked at some practical ways you can keep your hair healthy and beautiful:

1. Let your hair breathe

Image via Pinterest

Your hair is alive and needs to be free. If you tie or bun up your hair often, make sure you let it loose for a couple of hours each day. Also be careful not to strain your hair by tying or braiding it together too tightly; taking care of it now will help you prevent hair breakage in the long run.

2. Treat your hair to healthy botanical oils

Image via Healthline

Natural oils like olive oil, coconut oil, and jojoba oil are good for smoothening the frizz in your hair and making it softer. Rub a few drops into your palms and work your way through your hair. Just a little bit can go a long way.

3. Trim your hair regularly to avoid split ends

Image via Fustany

Make a habit of trimming your hair at least once every two months. You can even opt to do this on your own at home, just make sure to use proper hair shears instead of scissors—because it could end up making your split ends worse.

4. Resist the urge to brush your hair when it’s wet

Image via Bustle

It may seem sensible to brush your hair straight out of the shower, but your hair is at its weakest when it's soaking wet. Brushing wet hair, especially if you tug at it, will cause your hair to break more easily. So make sure it's dry or semi-dry before combing your hair into place.

5. Be careful when blow-drying your hair

Image via Dyson

Your hair is a delicate thing, and you don't want to overheat it, as this may cause hair damage and promote breakage. However, the great thing about using hair dryers like Dyson Supersonic is that it always regulates the heat, preventing damage and maintaining your hair's natural glow. This means you can blow-dry without a worry.

6. Condition your hair before you go for a swim

Image via Daily Mail

The water in swimming pools contains chlorine, which can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it brittle and dry. Remember to apply conditioner on your hair before going for a dip, as the conditioner will act as a protective layer from the chlorine in the pool.

7. Eat food rich in omega-3 fatty acids like salmon

Image via Serious Eats

Foods like salmon, spinach and oatmeal contain omega-3 fatty acids that are essential for hair growth, along with a host of other health benefits. Essentially, you become what you eat, so start cutting down on the unhealthy junk and treat your body to the good stuff it deserves.

8. Try sleeping on silk pillowcases

Image via Huffington Post

Regular pillowcases are usually made out of cotton, which can suck the moisture out of your hair. Silk pillowcases, on the other hand, will protect your hair's moisture and reduce friction—resulting in less split ends and healthier hair overall. The smooth, soft texture of silk will also help you sleep better at night!

9. Keep your hair loose during bedtime

Image via Bustle

Whether you sleep with your hair braided, in a ponytail, in a bun, or just as it is, make sure it's loose and not held together too tightly. This way, you won't wake up with messy bed hair, and you won't have to worry about hair breakage through the night as well.

10. Take your vitamins and supplements

Image via USA Today

Whether in pill form or its natural state, make sure you take your vitamins and supplements regularly. Vitamin E, often found in nuts, can keep your hair thick and voluminous. Vitamin C, on the other hand, prevents your hair from becoming brittle. And for those who want more hair, Vitamin B12 found in tangerines promotes hair growth and reduces hair loss.

11. Enjoy a hair mask every so often

Image via Luxy Hair

Just like you use face masks to refresh your skin, hair masks are the perfect way to revitalize your hair. The great thing is that you can make your own homemade hair masks with ingredients like avocados, coconut oil, and honey.

Your journey towards healthier, more beautiful hair starts today

The Darwinian natural selection process would seem to dictate that male nipples really should not be there. So what's the deal?

        infinityhousemagazine.com

But before we begin, here's a fun fact:

Male mice exit the womb with their furry bellies smooth and nipple-free. Alongside stallions and male platypuses, mice are among a small cluster of mammalian species that don't go ahead and sprout nipples as though in symbolic solidarity with their female kin.

        howstuffworks.com

According to a Wikipedia entry about nipple in male mammals, from conception until sexual differentiation, all mammalian fetuses within the same species look the same, regardless of sex

In humans, this lasts for around 6 weeks, after which genetically-male fetuses begin producing male hormones such as testosterone. Usually, males' nipples do not change much past this point; however, some males develop a condition known as gynecomastia, in which the fatty tissue around and under the nipple develops into something similar to a female breast. This may happen whenever the testosterone level drops.

        wikipedia.org

So here's the thing, as much as men might hate to hear this, the human fetal blueprint is initially female. We all begin as a ball of cells that quickly differentiates into various body parts.

Image via livejournal.com

At five weeks of gestation, the fetus sports a neural tube that eventually becomes the spine, but other than that, we all look like a wad of chewing gum. Then at six weeks' gestation, the outlines of eyes, arms, legs and a face (and let's not mention the tail that also shows up for a while) appear. It's not until about week six that the fetus also begins to take on the biological accoutrements of gender.

        livescience.com

If the fetus has a Y chromosome, testosterone will turn the buds for sexual organs into testes. Once in operation, those testes will pump out even more testosterone and, voila, a penis appears. Female fetuses aren’t swayed by testosterone and so they stick with the fallback blueprint that calls for ovaries and a vagina.

        about.com

But the developmental secret here is that breasts and nipples are already in place before testosterone shows its hand and starts shaping cells into male organs. In other words, men have breasts and nipples because they already had them before they became male.

        livescience.com

Therefore, the simplest explanation for men having nipples is that all human embryos start out with them, and evolution didn't get around to selecting against their existence on the male bust. But why didn't evolution opt to remove them?

But because the "female template" is the default for humans, the question should not by why evolution has not selected against male nipples, but why it would be advantageous to select against male nipples? And it begins with:

        wikipedia.org

The uncoupling of male and female traits occurs if there is selection for it: if the trait is important to the reproductive success of both males and females but the best or "optimal" trait is different for a male and a female. We would not expect such an uncoupling if the attribute is important in both sexes and the "optimal" value is similar in both sexes, nor would we expect uncoupling to evolve if the attribute is important to one sex but unimportant in the other. The latter is the case for nipples.

        wikipedia.org

Their advantage in females, in terms of reproductive success, is clear. But because the genetic "default" is for males and females to share characters, the presence of nipples in males is probably best explained as a genetic correlation that persists through lack of selection against them, rather than selection for them. Interestingly, though, it could be argued that the occurrence of problems associated with the male nipple, such as carcinoma, constitutes contemporary selection against them.

        wikipedia.org

As LiveScience notes, men's breasts, in fact, are a good lesson in the higgledy-piggledy way that evolution works

Image via stylehunterman.com

Natural selection chooses for and against body parts, but there is no master plan that aims for the perfect creature. Men have boobs, women get facial hair, and we all stand in front of the mirror asking, "Why?" Each person is, in fact, a Rube Goldberg sort of organism pieced together by biology and made up of good parts, bad parts and parts that are inconsequential.

7 Easy Things You Can Do To Put A Smile On Your Mum's Face This Mother's Day

Mother's Day lands on 10 May, which means we'll all still be at home, observing the Movement Control Order (MCO)

While there won't be any brunch celebrations or holiday getaways yet, that doesn't mean we can't still celebrate our mums. If you're currently separated from your parents, there are still plenty of ways to reach out and share the love!

Here are 7 easy things you can do to put a smile on your mum's face this Mother's Day:

1. Make an effort to clean the house so she doesn't have to lift a finger

Image via Good Housekeeping

There's no better feeling than waking up to a sparkling, clean home. If your mum is usually the one who's picking up after everyone else, this is definitely the time to return the favour.Better yet, hire a professional cleaning company to do a deep clean via Grab Clean & Fix. It's the most satisfying thing, guaranteed to make anyone happy!

2. Book her a spa day in advance so she can be totally pampered

Image via Alan Caishan/Unsplash

Mums rarely have time for themselves because they're so busy looking after everyone else.Book some pampering time for your mother to enjoy after MCO is lifted, whether it's an hour-long deep massage or special day-long spa treatment, she's sure to appreciate the "me time."Alternatively, you can always give her a massage yourself. It's a great way to bond and make your mum feel happy and relaxed.

3. Cook a meal for your mum or bake her something special

Food is always an awesome option. And there's nothing better than homecooked goodness full of love.You could bring breakfast in bed, cook up a simple lunch, or get fancy with a three-course dinner. Whatever you make, she's sure to appreciate the effort and say it's yummy (even if it's not haha).Not living with mum? You can cook at home and have a delivery service bring it to her immediately! It's an extra special care package straight from your kitchen.

4. Plan a family video call or online games night

Your family may not have a chance to spend time with your mum in person. But online time can be just as fulfilling and fun!Organise your siblings and other close family members to get on a video call together for a fun hangout session. You can even play online games together, which is sure to bring out loads of laughs from mum!

5. Give her something handmade and from the heart

Image via arolina Bobek/Unsplash

Remember back in primary school, how we used to make Mother's Day cards every year? There's no reason we still can't!Now we're adults, we can level up our art skills. Draw her a picture, paint her something personal, write her a letter, send her a postcard... There are endless ways to show you care without splurging on expensive gifts.

6. If you're already a mum, take this opportunity to plan a girly getaway to enjoy post-MCO

Image via Gradikaa Aggi/Unsplash

Plan a girls-only staycation! Leave your little ones at home with the men of the family, and enjoy a getaway with your mum instead. It's even more fun if you have sisters or sisters-in-law.That way all the mums get to enjoy Mother's Day together (away from diaper changes and tantrums)!

7. Buy her something luxe that she would love, especially if she's the type to never spend money on herself

Image via Krzysztof Hepner/Unsplash

Being a mother comes with a lot of personal sacrifices. It means giving up things you want for yourself, so that you can provide your children with things that they need.If your mum never buys cute things for herself, you should step up and get them for her! A gorgeous handbag with matching wallet, a beautiful cookware set, a pretty piece of jewellery, or an exclusive beauty and skincare collection. Get her something special.There are so many online stores and delivery options, you're sure to find the perfect gift.

Give your mum something to smile about on this special day by treating her to the best!

Watch what happened when three young Malaysians tried to treat their parents to something special:

Grab And Foodpanda Riders Are Now Covered By SOCSO

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

Recently, Grab Malaysia and foodpanda registered their riders under the Social Security Organisation's (SOCSO) SPS Lindung scheme.
The move will now protect 145,000 gig workers across the country.

Among the more than 145,000 gig workers who will be covered by SOCSO include food delivery riders, walkers, and also parcel delivery partners, SOCSO said in a joint statement on 16 July.According to the statement, foodpanda and Grab have become the first among the 133 service providers in the country to enrol their delivery partners under its Occupational Disaster Scheme.Its chief executive Datuk Seri Mohammed Azman Mohammed hopes that more service providers will follow suit and support the government's initiative to register, contribute, and protect their delivery partners."Taking into account the increasing demand for the gig economy sector, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, protecting the delivery partners is a timely step to ensure their welfare as they are exposed to occupational risk while on road. This is vital so that workers in informal sectors, just like their counterparts in the formal sector, are not deprived of social safety protection," he said.

The SPS Lindung scheme is paid by the government for a year

To ensure that these gig workers are protected and in order to encourage more of them to register, the government will provide assistance in the form of full funding under Plan Two of the Self Employment Social Security Scheme (SKSPS) which is RM232.80 for the coverage period for a year.Benefits include medical, temporary disablement, permanent disablement, dependants and funeral benefits, constant care allowance, education benefit, and facilities for physical or vocational rehabilitation.

SOCSO, however, stated that as of 9 July the number of delivery partners who have registered and are actively contributing is still low

A total of 64,773 delivery partners have registered and are actively contributing under SKSPS.They make up about 39% of the 166,189 total gig workers in the country contributing to SOCSO."However, when compared to the 2.72 million gig workers recorded by the Department of Statistics Malaysia, the number of gig workers contributing to SOCSO is still low at only 6.1%," the statement said.

Did Rosmah Ask US To Call Off Their FBI Probe Against 1MDB?

The Asia Sentinel, in a report published on 28 March, alleged that:

Rosmah Mansor has repeatedly called US Ambassador Joseph Y. Yun in the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur in a vain attempt to get the United States Attorney Preet Bharara for the Southern District of New York to call off his investigation into financial dealings involving the scandal-ridden 1Malaysia Development Berhad fund.

        asiasentinel.com

The website also alleged that "the story" of Rosmah's attempts to strongarm the US investigation has been "circulating widely in Kuala Lumpur's small diplomatic circles", citing unnamed sources

Najib, Rosmah and Joseph.

The report also claimed that Joseph apparently told Rosmah that the United States Attorney operated so independently that not even President Barack Obama would be able to influence the probe

It quoted an unnamed source as saying: "She (Rosmah) has been told, 'If you have done nothing wrong, don't worry about it. The United States is a country of laws'."Furthermore, the Asia Sentinel, while citing someone who they claim is a "longtime observer of local politics, claimed that Najib and his family "aren't scared of anything in Malaysia, but are scared of this guy Preet Bharara", the Pakistani-born US law enforcement officer who has prosecuted nearly 100 Wall Street executives.

Preet Bharara

Following the report, which the Minister of Communication and Multimedia Salleh criticised as being based on rumours, access to Asia Sentinel in Malaysia has been blocked by the MCMC

Speaking to Malaysiakini, he described this as unethical journalism, where reports are published based on unverified claims. Terming the article as “preposterous and unfair”, the minister questioned Asia Sentinel’s motive in publishing such allegations without verification.“Furthermore, was there an attempt to seek a response from her or Malaysian authorities regarding these claims? This article is based on allegations from unidentified sources and gossip. To me, this is just another attempt to tarnish the reputation of the prime minister and his wife,” he added.

        malaysiakini.com

However, the US embassy in KL has dismissed the said report:

In an email communique to Malaysiakini, the embassy said it had no record of any inquiries from the Asia Sentinel regarding the matter."We have seen reports alleging that Prime Minister Najib’s wife called ambassador Yun multiple times. We do not comment on diplomatic discussions, but we can confirm Ambassador Yun has not spoken about the issues in the Asia Sentinel report with the prime minister’s wife," it added.

Here's How A 12-Year-Old Was Mistakenly Given Empty Jab Of COVID-19 Vaccine At UM PPV

A video uploaded on Facebook shows an incident that took place at the Universiti Malaya (UM) vaccination centre (PPV), where a 12-year-old was administered an allegedly empty shot of the COVID-19 vaccine

The one-minute video, which was uploaded yesterday, 1 October, has been widely circulated on the platform. At the time of writing, it has close to 300,000 views and has received over 22,000 shares.It also reportedly prompted concern among parents. The comment section is filled with mostly angry reactions and a number of them also accusing the health worker of playing tricks.In the video, the health worker is seen observing the necessary procedures.She makes sure to show the vaccine vial, the syringe, and that the right amount of vaccine was taken out from the bottle into the syringe to the teenager's mother, the viral video shows.

So what happened?

Confirming the incident in a statement today, 2 October, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has provided an explanation as to what happened following the pre-jab procedures taken by the health worker.The health worker had made an honest mistake when she picked up a similar-looking syringe that was empty and not yet had been used, instead of the syringe that she had just filled with the vaccine.The mistake is also visible in the video."This happened as she briefly placed the filled syringe on the table to perform the disinfection process on the teenager's arm before giving the injection. However, she mistakenly took the empty syringe and injected the teenager," the statement quoted Deputy Health Minister Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali as saying.

The empty syringe can be visible during the start of the video when the health worker is seen filling a syringe with the vaccine.
Image via Facebook

Following which, the teenager informed his parents that there may have been an issue with the dose. They then alerted the health worker.

The health worker, also realising her mistake, then informed the on-duty medical officer at the PPV."The two of them immediately had a discussion with the teenager's parents and after explaining, the teenager's parents permitted the vaccine to be given on a different arm, under the low doses procedure (Prosedur Dos Kurang), which is a clinical guideline that recommends administration of the vaccine in the opposite arm if the first dose is deemed insufficient and a re-dose is required," Noor Azmi said.He added that that the concerned health worker has been warned to be more careful.

Meanwhile, MOH also said that the COVID-19 Immunisation Task Force-Adolescent (CITF-A) deeply regrets the incident

"CITF-A deeply regrets this incident and would like to apologise to the parents and the teenager. This incident is described as an on-duty mistake or human error," the statement read.It added that the internal procedure has also been improved by ensuring that no other syringes are on the same table when giving the injection. This is to prevent the same incident from happening again.

PTPTN Cannot Give 100% Loans As Many Have Yet To Pay Back Theirs

Students furthering their education are still not getting full loans from the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) as loan recovery has yet to meet its target

Image via Notey

PTPTN loans were decreased up to 15% for students pursuing tertiary education in November 2014.

PTPTN chairman Datuk Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said loan recovery has improved recently, but is still a long way away from its expected target

Up until December 2015, PTPTN expended up to RM56 billion in loans and needed to get back at least RM15 billion, but only RM8 billion has been returned.

Hence why PTPTN had to make the difficult decision to make up to 15% cuts in loaning money to students from public universities and private institutions

PTPTN chairman Datuk Shamsul Anuar Nasarah.
Image via Sinar Harian

Since 2014, students of public universities only received 95% of their study costs while students of private institutions received 85%. “I ask that the people support and understand the enforcement measures such as the Central Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS) because it is not a blacklist but is a list of Bank Negara’s credit reference system," Shamsul said.

Shamsul also urged graduates who are facing difficulties in paying back their loans to contact PTPTN so that they can restructure and reschedule their loan payments

He explained that loan payment can be delayed for up to 24 months after graduation, but the administrative costs will have to be borne by the loanee.

In addition, the Minister said that the amendment was made to ensure that Malaysia's labour laws are in line with international standards

The amendment to the Children and Young Persons (Employment) Act 1966 is in line with Malaysia's Minimum Age Convention 1973, the Worst Form of Child Labour Convention 1999, and International Labour Organisation standards, reported The Star.The Dewan is reported to be meeting again today, 18 October.

Zahid Hamidi Wants to do This to Rela. Good Idea?

Zahid Hamidi says he is proposing to put the People's Volunteer Corps (Rela) under a separate department

Zahid Hamidi says he is proposing to put the People's Volunteer Corps (Rela) under a separate department.

The Home Ministry will submit a proposal to the Cabinet to place the People's Volunteer Corps (Rela) under a separate department to strengthen its role, said its minister, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

        mysinchew.com

“The proposal, which will be tabled in two weeks’ time, will enable Rela to function more effectively as a voluntary organisation in assisting the police and other security agencies in maintaining public order.

        malaysiakini.com

Ahmad Zahid said this would open up opportunities for promotion and encourage greater participation from partially active and inactive Rela members, particularly graduates.

No additional money will be needed for this new department

He said the department would be set up without any additional allocation and positions.

Ahmad Zahid said the ministry would appoint Barisan Nasional (BN) members of Parliament as honorary Rela members and they were required to disburse RM20,000 of their parliamentary allocation to buy new uniforms for Rela members in their constituency.

"Rela will be given suitable supplies and equipment in line with its duties while its uniforms will be changed to digital camouflage fatigues," he told reporters after breaking fast with Rela members here today.

        mysinchew.com

"Rela has been asked to classify its members into three categories, namely active, semi-active and inactive members - to enable additional training to be given to partially active and inactive members," he said.

Beliau berkata, kabinet juga memutuskan status pangkat Rela akan dibezakan dengan Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM).  "Nama pangkat itu akan diumumkan kelak dan digazet," katanya.

The problem with Rela

Rela has a bad reputation, having drawn flak from foreign attention for its human rights abuses of nabbing aliens without valid entry permits for a bounty of RM80 per head captured.

        freemalaysiakini.com

In 2007, Human Rights Watch said Malaysian government should immediately take steps to dissolve Rela who is responsible for numerous cases of illegal detentions, unlawful use of force, and extortion.

“The government has set up what’s little more than a vigilante force to target foreigners,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “Given RELA’s repeated abuses, it should be disbanded right away.”

Fully uniformed, armed, and unaccompanied, they break into migrant lodgings in the middle of the night without warrants, brutalize inhabitants, extort money, and confiscate goods, before handcuffing migrants and transporting them to detention camps for “illegal immigrants.”

Rela is also a strain on the home ministry budget as it would cost millions to maintain such a big and superfluous outfit.

These Star Wars Figurines Are The Most Epic Pewter Trophies From Royal Selangor

Pewter souvenirs are generally not too 'hot' as chosen gifts among 20-somethings - the perception of traditional designs could be why.
That might all change with this new Star Wars collection that is so tempting, you would buy it in pewter and guard it with your life.

Image via Royal Selangor

As the 'Force' would have it, Royal Selangor in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia is currently in the midst of immortalising iconic Star Wars characters and scenes in pewter

Image via Royal Selangor

The collaboration between Royal Selangor and The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia will see the former producing "Star Wars"-themed merchandise for the next three years. The first lineup will be launched on 21 August 2015, which will include Limited Edition figurines and collectibles such as cuff-links, flash drives, tumblers, and goblets.

Image via Royal Selangor

You're thinking, why didn't this come sooner, right?

Here's a behind the scenes look at the figurine of Princess Leia, perfectly sculpted to achieve her feminine curves, with her pleated hair placed on her right, as was always the case in the movie.

Image via Masses

Not just that, the talented designers and sculptors at Royal Selangor even ensured that the fine details of Leia's bikini-style costume and jewellery were carefully sculpted based on specifications. They, after all, had to justify one of the most successful movie franchises of all time that has created a worldwide popular culture phenomenon.

Image via Royal Selangor

Here's Darth Vader receiving final touches. As you can see, special attention was paid to the finer details such as the control panel on the chest and mask to ensure they were accurately reproduced.

Image via Royal Selangor

Moreover, as it's quite evident, the sculptors took extra care in ensuring that the pewter parts that formed Darth Vader's figurine such as the torso, cloak and head were cast separately to allow the molten metal to expand and cool proportionately without distorting the features imprinted on them. It seriously cannot get better than this!

Image via Royal Selangor

Speaking of which, take our poll to let us know what you think...

Earlier in July, when the collaboration was announced, Yong Yoon Li, Executive Director of Royal Selangor, expressed his joy and honour over the chance to immortalise the characters from this incredible franchise, adding that, "Star Wars has made a huge cultural impact on at least two generations of moviegoers."

    Excited, we are, for Royal Selangor's Star Wars collection. Watch out for the full collection launching this 20th August! -- Karmun #StarWars #RoyalSelangor #royalselangorxstarwars #yoda #jedi #maytheforcebewithyou A photo posted by Malaysia Tatler (@malaysiatatler) on Aug 10, 2015 at 3:24am PDT

And as the 'Force' is strong within Royal Selangor, the 130-year-old business has also received the rights to distribute the Star Wars collection in several other countries, including Australia, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, China and the UK.According to details provided in Royal Selangor's website, the Star Wars collection will be available in the following countries and online at the following dates:. Malaysia, from 21 August 2015 onwards. Singapore and Indonesia, from 1 September 2015 onwards. Australia, UK, Hong Kong and China, from 1 October 2015 onwards

Royal Selangor was founded in 1885 by Yong Koon

Royal Selangor is a Malaysia pewter manufacturer and retailer, the largest of its type in the world. The world's largest pewter tankard, recognised by the Guinness Book of Records, was made by Royal Selangor in 1985 to commemorate its centenary.

And here's a look at some of the finished models:

How Many More SPM Workbooks Have Racist Undertones Like "Chinese Willing To Kill Malays"?

A Bahasa Malaysia SPM workbook with questions and answers deemed "racially insensitive" have been said to be the cause of disunity, causing concern among parents and teachers

Image via themalaysianinsider.com

An SPM workbook where model questions and answers discuss “Chinese killing Malays” and how Chinese schools are the cause of disunity among the people is causing concern among teachers and parents, Sibu MP Oscar Ling said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Based on an excerpt of a short story, a question in the workbook asked why the "Chinese are willing to kill Malays" and suggested that Chinese vernacular schools are contributed to racial divide in the nation

Image via imgur.com

In the workbook published by Info Didik this year, students are asked why the "Chinese willing to even kill Malays" and vice-versa, among a host of other racial innuendos.

        malaysiakini.com

The model answers for the questions painted the Chinese as responsible for some of the racial strife and seemed to suggest that Chinese schools contributed to racial divide in the country.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The excerpt was taken from the Bahasa Melayu literature component "Melissa". "Melissa" tells the story of a Chinese girl who fell in love with a Malay boy. The boy was later killed by the Chinese during the May 13 riots.

Image via mkini.net

The excerpt referred to in the SPM workbook is from the short story 'Melissa' by national laureate Abdullah Hussain. It is of an anthology of short stories called 'Harga Remaja', which is part of a Form Four text for the Bahasa Malaysia literature component. Abdullah also wrote the novel 'Interlok' which caused controversy when it was selected as a school text, for allegedly perpetuating racial stereotypes.

        malaysiakini.com

He explained the questions were based on a short story, titled ‘Melissa’, from the Harga Remaja anthology, which is part of the school syllabus. “The ‘Melissa’ short story is about a woman from China who was adopted by Malay parents in Malaya and was later engaged to her Malay boyfriend. “The boyfriend was later killed by Chinese during the the (May 13) riots. The question was based on the content of that short story,” Tong is quoted as saying.

        malaysiakini.com

DAP's Sibu MP Oscar Ling saw red and suggested that political conspiracy are involved. Ling says it is wrong that they are spreading the political agenda that vernacular schools are the cause of disunity among races.

Image via mkini.net

Ling today called on Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to state what his ministry's model answers would be if questions on "Melissa" actually came out in the SPM examination. "I will not deny that there could be a political conspiracy here, there may be a reason behind it. "We don't know whether these were common answers agreed by the ministry," Ling said of the contents in the workbook.

        themalaysianinsider.com

He said the sentiment in the book which suggested that Chinese vernacular schools were the cause of racial disunity appeared to be shared by certain Umno MPs in Parliament. "There appears to be an agenda to propagate that vernacular schools are the cause of disunity among the races. "They are trying to spread this theory to students, which is very wrong," he added.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Ling said that if that was the contention, the same could be raised about religious schools for Muslim students. "I am just using this as an example but if they say SJKC (Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina) is the cause of racial strife, what about religious schools which are for Muslims students only, isn't that the same thing?" he asked.

        themalaysianinsider.com

On the other hand, Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin explained that the book was the work of a private publisher and was not authorised by the ministry

Image via kualalumpurpost.net

However, Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin told the Dewan Rakyat the ministry is powerless to rectify the problem if the publication is private and did not come from the ministry. “We hope this did not come from the ministry. If it is from a private publisher, it is beyond the scope of the ministry,” Muhyiddin said.

        malaysiakini.com

Noting that no prior complaints were received by the ministry on the book, Muhyiddin nevertheless assured parliament that the matter would be looked into. He said the ministry would not have authorised the publication of the book which was likely the work of a private publisher.

        thestar.com.my

However, Ling still holds the Education Ministry responsible. He questioned whether the story about May 13 riots was suitable to be included in the SPM examinations, and what would the correct answers be.

The fact that the controversial "racial" SPM model question was the work of a private publisher does not absolve the ministry, DAP's Sibu MP Oscar Ling said.

        malaysiakini.com

This is as the question was based on an Education Ministry-approved short story which touches on the May 13, 1969 racial riots. Speaking to reporters at the Parliament lobby today, he said this raises the question of whether such a short story is "relevant" as a  school text. Ling also asked what the answers will be if students are asked about May 13 in SPM.

        malaysiakini.com

He questioned the suitability of using that particular story in textbooks for secondary students. "We want to ask the Education Minister whether it is suitable to include this story in books for the SPM examination because the meaning can be easily twisted. "We know how it can happen," he added.

        themalaysianinsider.com

DAP's Stampin MP Julian Tan also asked if there were other books with such content carrying racial undertones that have escaped the Education Ministry's attention

Julian Tan (DAP-Stampin) asked about the Education Minister's rescue plan given that many students had been exposed to the Kertas Model Sebenar SPM Bahasa Malaysia.

        themalaysianinsider.com

He suggested that the Education Ministry conduct checks if similar racial contents were in other schoolbooks. "Are there other books with such contents that escaped the attention of the ministry?" he asked, in urging teachers and students to report to the ministry if they came across such content.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Meanwhile, the publisher of the SPM workbook, Info Didik has apologised and ordered for the book to be withdrawn from all bookshelves

Titled 'Kertas Model Sebenar SPM Bahasa Malaysia', the book is authored by Khairudiin Ayip and Yusanizan Shafie.

        malaysiakini.com

The publisher of a workbook which had questions that were deemed ‘racially sensitive’ has apologised after several MPs yesterday raised concerns about it in Parliament.He admitted that the editor was not sensitive enough in the usage of words in the workbook, which contained phrases like ‘Chinese willing to even kill Malays’. Tong stressed he was not a politician and did not mean for the questions to contain racial content.

        malaysiakini.com

Info Didik chief executive officer William Tong said he has also instructed the workbook entitled ‘Kertas Model Sebenar SPM Bahasa Malaysia’ to be withdrawn from all bookshelves. Tong said a refund would be given to any parent who wanted to return the workbook, according to a Sin Chew report today.

In an interview with Berita Harian, Melaka Chinese Mosque Imam Mohd Khabir Abd Karim said that the management initially received a lot of questions from visitors who thought that the mosque was a temple.

The mosque often holds social events such as talks and weddings

[PHOTOS] Malaysia's Carbon Neutral Pavilion At Expo 2020 Dubai Looks Fancy AF

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

The Malaysia Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai officially opened to the public on 4 October, making it the first net-zero carbon installation at the global event

According to the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Centre (MGTC), the  implementing agency for Malaysia's participation in the expo, the Malaysia Pavilion is based on the concept of a rainforest canopy.The 1,234sqm pavilion, themed 'Energising Sustainability', aims to present the country's commitment to a sustainable socio-economic and environmental future.

The pavilion is carbon neutral as it has reduced carbon emissions from its construction, operations, and materials to its recovery

According to MEP Middle East, the pavilion is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through 20% energy savings and has a solar rooftop that provides 10% of energy requirement of the building.Meanwhile, the Meranti wood facade spanning the pavilion was harvested under a sustainable reforestation project and will also be dismantled for reuse after the expo."Building the pavilion was a challenging project, but exciting too as it blended superior skills with imagination to provide visitors an immersive experience of being in a rainforest," said Shamsul Bahar Mohammed Nor, the chief executive officer of MGTC."Technology and design are combined in the right proportions to truly create a work of art."

As for design, the exhibition halls are suspended on long slender columns, hovering four to six metres above the ground, to mimic a tropical jungle canopy

15m-tall poles surrounding the building were also designed to sway slightly and to light up at night like fireflies to welcome visitors, reported Gulf News after an onsite visit.On the inside, Malaysia's flora and fauna are the main showcase, with rooms filled with interactive panels and LED visuals to artistically display the country's commitment in balancing science, technology, innovation, economy, and environmental protection.There is also an amphitheater to watch Malaysian cultural performances and a cafe serving local delicacies in the pavilion.

Chinese Tourists Are Already Destroying Shanghai Disneyland... And It's Not Even Open Yet!

It's no secret that Chinese tourists have made a bad reputation for themselves as of late, no thanks to their "uncivilised" behaviour when abroad

Some Chinese tourists climb up cherry blossom trees and leave their garbage in a park in Japan.
Image via aboluowang.com

The list of uncivilised behaviour from Chinese tourists sighted abroad include vandalising iconic scenes or artifacts (e.g. climbing cherry blossom trees), unruly conduct in public spaces (e.g. clamouring to pile food up in buffet lines), lack of hygiene in public facilities (e.g. littering, doing the number two in airplane toilet sinks, letting their kids pee on airplane carpets), and many others.

It seems like they are no different back at home in China. Case in point - the USD5.5 billion (RM22 billion) Shanghai Disneyland is already seeing the effects of unruly Chinese tourists, and it's not even officially opened yet!

Image via Weibo

Thousands of visitors have been flocking to the unopened theme park since a metro station opened nearby last month. However, there isn't much to do except to linger around in the village garden outside the gates.

Green tarps block most views into Shanghai Disneyland, but visitors take turns peeking through gaps to glimpse the world's largest Disney Castle and a wavy structure housing a roller coaster called Tron Lightcycle Power Run.

At the moment, visitors will find it hard to see into the interior of the theme park, as green tarps covering the gates and fences block most views into Shanghai Disneyland.

Even so, that is not stopping visitors - mostly locals - from leaving the place filled with trash and scratching graffiti onto freshly-painted lamp posts

Image via Weibo

Someone carved graffiti into a freshly-painted lamp post to notify others that he 'was here'.

Unfortunately for the freshly-planted flowers and grass in the outer gardens, visitors had no qualms trampling over them to take a shortcut or to frame a perfect picture

Let's not even get started on their toilet habits
