Malaysian Victims Of The Terrorist Attack On NZ Mosques Recount The Terror They Witnessed

The day of the terror in New Zealand, which has claimed at least 49 innocent lives so far, may have passed, but its devastating impact will linger on, maybe forever, in the minds of those directly affected

The 28-year-old terrorist who ambushed the mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, during Friday's prayers, killing at least 49 people and leaving an additional 48 injured, has been charged with murder and has been remanded in custody till 5 April.While the terrorist will meet his fate, he leaves behind his victims, picking pieces of their lives, their lost loved ones, trying to come to terms with the terror they witnessed."I don't know who of my friends is dead or alive now. I am waiting. Police told me: 'I am sorry, this is the first time this has ever happened in this country,'" a man named Hassan told the Guardian. He was worshipping at Linwood mosque during the attack.

While details about victims are still sketchy, there were at least five Malaysian victims of the terrorist attack yesterday with some injured

Among those is a 14-year-old Malaysian boy, who was at the Al Noor Mosque.He was there to perform Friday prayers, but instead of praying inside the mosque, as usual, he decided to sit in the back rows of the congregation, reported Bernama.While waiting for the prayers to begin, the boy, Idris Khairudin, suddenly heard gunshots and sounds of glass breaking as well as calls for pilgrims to run.Idris hurried out the building and climbed over the walls of the mosque and ran nearly 1.5km to escape the scene of the terror attack, according to his 20-year-old sister, Nur Balqis Khairudin, whom he had contacted to ask what he should do next."I was in a state of panic and worried about him. At that time, I and another sister of mine, Nur Zahirah were at home, and we had no transport. I had to ask help from the public to drop us to college so that we could get Idris. We then brought him home and called mother," Bernama quoted Nur Balqis as saying, who along with her two siblings are now safe at their home, which is located about 3km from the scene.When they reached out to their mother, Zarita Abdul Razak in Nibong Tebal, Penang, with a WhatsApp message, asking: "Ma, can I call you?", she was restless."Only God who knows how I felt at the time, my three children were there while we were here. I went weak at the knees. Thankfully, they are safe. But we are still worried and sad to find out that there are Malaysians who have been injured," the mother said.

Another Malaysian, Rahimi Ahmad, a 39-year-old Penangite, who was at Masjid Al Noor for Friday prayers, as he has usually been doing for the past five years with his family, was shot while escaping

The Friday turned out to be "one of New Zealand's darkest days".The 39-year-old Rahimi left his son outside and entered the mosque to offer prayers. His son was playing outside when shots were heard in the mosque."My son was playing outside when the shooting started after which a friend just grabbed him and took him to a Kiwi's house next to the mosque," his wife Azila said.She would later find out that her husband has been shot and was among the wounded taken to the hospital. Rahimi is in a critical condition, as doctors are trying to remove several bullets from his body, according to a Reuters report.Rahimi had tried to escape when deafening gunfire shattered the silence. He was shot, and fell to the floor, bleeding from his wounds. "While injured, he acted as if he was dead," a friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, told NST Online.Meanwhile, in Malaysia, Rahimi's mother, Rokiah Mohammad, recounted, in between tears, the moment she found out it was the same mosque her son goes to."When I heard about the mass shooting, I tried calling my daughter-in-law but I could not contact her and I was so worried because he goes to a mosque near his house which looked like the mosque in the news," she told Malay Mail.The 65-year-old mother was sure her son would be there for Friday prayers and became very worried when she couldn't get any information on what had happened.

Meanwhile, the condition of a 42-year-old Malaysian, Mohd Tarmizi Shuib, who was shot while he was praying, is still being treated and is expected to undergo an operation today to remove the bullet

"Our family was shocked when we were told he had been shot in the incident, and that one of his children is still missing. We hope he will be okay after his wife told us that he would undergo another operation today," Tarmizi's sister Mariani told NST Online.While Tarmimi is still alive and his condition is stable, his son Mohd Haziq, 17, was yet to be found after running away during the terror attack.

"I looked into the mosque and saw bodies piled up in the main hall," Hamzah Noor Yahaya, another Malaysian survivor, recounted

Hamzah, who lives about 6km away from the Al Noor Mosque, is a regular worshipper there. He moved to Christchurch from Tanjung Karang, Selangor, in the 1980s, and works as a forklift driver.

"Many people were mingling before going for prayers."The main prayer hall usually fits about 400 people. I seated myself right in front of the pulpit and the sermon had just begun. When I heard the shots, it was the shooter aiming at the people in the rooms. The main prayer hall was at the end of the mosque and the walkway leading to it had many rooms on either side," he was quoted as saying by The Star Online, adding that it took him just "two seconds" to realise what had happened.Hamzaj, who is still traumatised by the attack, said that while he was walking outside, "I saw two dead bodies. I looked into the mosque and saw bodies piled up in the main hall. At the front of the mosque, there were four or five dead bodies. Two more dead bodies were on the street in front of the mosque," according to The Star Online.

[VIDEO] Driver Crashes Into Lorry Causing Spillage Of Thousands Of Eggs

Thousands of eggs were sacrificed on a highway after a car rammed into the rear of a lorry transporting the delicate goods yesterday, 2 April

Image via New Straits Times

The incident occurred on the North-South Expressway near Kuala Muda, Kedah as reported by The Star.A video that was recorded by another driver showed a white car swerving lanes unnaturally before crashing into the back of a lorry which saw thousands of eggs cracked and splattered all over the highway.The video has gone viral on social media. At the time of writing, it has gotten over 300,000 views and shared over 2,300 times.

The 31-second long video showed a white Hyundai Veloster going from the right lane to the left lane before colliding with the lorry in the middle lane

Image via Berita Harian

The white car looked like it was about to crash directly into the back of the lorry before the driver made a last-ditch attempt to avoid the lorry by steering right. Instead, he rammed the right rear of the lorry, causing it to lose control and eventually hit the road divider.

North Seberang Prai OCPD Asst Comm Noorzainy Mohd Noor said the 27-year-old driver might have dozed off before colliding with the lorry

Image via Astro Awani via PDRM

According to The Sun Daily, Noorzainy said both drivers escaped unhurt and were sent to the Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital in Sungai Petani for further check-up.He added that the police will investigate the accident further to find out the cause of it.

Some netizens have since urged others to honk if they ever suspect that another driver on the road could be dozing off as it can potentially save lives

11 Simple Hacks To Improve Battery Life On All Your Devices And Gadgets

Has your phone ever died while you were trying to Waze home? Or your laptop shut off midway through a Dota game?

Image via Giphy

We've all been there, and it sucks every single time.

Here are a few tricks to help your battery last longer:

1. If you're on your laptop, try to do one thing at a time and close all apps or web pages you aren't actively using

Image via Inquirer.net

As much as you like to multitask, having multiple apps or web pages open simultaneously can increase the battery consumption on your devices.

2. Also, remember to plug out all the cables and USB devices that you aren't using from your laptop

Image via Make Use Of

3. While most of us do this on a daily basis, try not to leave your laptop on permanent charge

Image via Popular Science

Although your battery will not overcharge, it will still deteriorate over time. The more often your laptop is charging, the more worn out the battery will get.

4. For longer performance, turn on the battery-saving mode to optimise your battery usage

Image via howtogeek.com

Almost all gadgets will include battery-saving features so make use of them!

5. Lower the screen brightness and adjust the sleep time for all your gadgets and devices

Image via Giphy

Lowering your brightness level to below 50% can help your battery last at least 2 hours longer. This tip not only applies to your laptop and phones, but also smartwatches!

6. For those of you who wear smartwatches, block out those unnecessary notifications

Image via postimg.cc

Sometimes, all you need your watch to do is to tell the time.

7. If you drive with Waze or Google Maps often, make sure to turn off your GPS when not in use

Image via Giphy

Or you could always go for a paper map.

8. When you're out and your phone is getting low on battery, you should turn off your Wi-Fi, data, hotspot, and roaming

Image via TNW

If possible, try to limit your Internet usage, especially if you're outside without a power bank or charger. Going online, especially with hotspot, can cause your battery to go down to 0% way sooner than you think.

9. If you want to conserve battery on your phone, resist the temptation to binge-watch videos, whether it's Instagram Stories, YouTube, or Netflix

Image via giphy.com

Going down the YouTube black hole will not only drain you, but also drain your battery really quickly.

10. For those of you with lots of mobile apps, disable auto-updates and WiFi syncing for your apps as these can also take up battery life

Image via MIUI

11. Finally, when in doubt, use the age-old trick of activating flight mode

Image via Digital Trends

This is a hack that many people swear by, and it's pretty much your last ditch effort to get the most out of your remaining battery life.

Always in need of better battery life? Upgrade yourself to gadgets that specialise in efficient battery usage so you won’t have to resort to little hacks all the time.

Gangguan seksual sudah tidak asing lagi dalam kalangan masyarakat kita, malah ia boleh berlaku di mana-mana saja

Contohnya seperti di rumah, tempat kerja mahupun di sekolah. Apabila sesuatu gurauan sudah melampuai batas sehingga menimbulkan ketidakselesaan dan ketidakpuasan hati oleh mana-mana pihak, ia boleh dikira sebagai sexual harrasment!Baru-baru ini tular posting berkenaan sekumpulan pelajar di asrama yang mengalami gangguan seksual seperti diraba dan dicabul oleh warden dan guru di sekolah. Perkara ini sangat tidak wajar berlaku di alam persekolahan. Lihat posting penuh itu di bawah:

Dulu few years ago saya ada tanya benda ni, tapi masih berlaku ke kat sekolah-sekolah dan asrama Malaysia? Tenaga pelajar check period dan private part pelajar?It shouldn’t be done sebab invasive of privacy, should be reported to parents or authorities btw. pic.twitter.com/xCsfjpaHdP— tērry  (@TerryDieHeiden) April 15, 2021

Dicabul dan diraba kerana tidak berpuasa pada bulan Ramadan

Terdapat pelajar yang sedang datang haid dan tidak berpuasa ketika itu, namun perkara itu tidak dipercayai oleh warden dan guru mereka. Oleh itu, warden dan guru bertindak untuk meraba sama ada mereka memakai tuala wanita atau tidak untuk membuktikan mereka datang haid. Perkongsian bebenang oleh @TerryDieHeiden di Twitter telah membuka lagi peluang para pelajar yang pernah mengalami gangguan seksual untuk dikongsikan bersama. Perkara ini dilakukan adalah untuk meningkatkan kesedaran yang gangguan seksual bukan satu perkara yang boleh dipandang enteng. Berikut di bawah merupakan pengalaman pelajar yang pernah mengalami gangguan seksual:

Sarawakians Get Called 'Stupid Sohai' By West Malaysians For Their Political Choice

So BN won in Sarawak with a landslide margin!
And opposition supporters from outside the state, it seemed, couldn't fathom the loss. In several Facebook posts, they called Sarawakians "brainless voters" and "stupid sohai Sarawakians".

In a Facebook post, Raja Petra Kamarudin highlighted a collection of some of these insults being hurled at voters of Sarawak for choosing to stay with BN by voting for Adenan bin Satem.Raja's Facebook post was being shared by others with their own commentary - some in support of the insults and some in against. At the time of writing this, the post has been shared for over 600 times and has more than 100 comments.

Raja shared the collection of comments with a caption that read:
"What West Malaysians think of Sarawakians"

A different set of comments shared on Facebook shows even more vile insults and name-calling of Sarawakians by west Malaysians:

Image via Facebook

"How do you justify hating Sarawak by telling them not to step onto Peninsular shores just because opposition failed their conquest? 3 years ago, we lost more than 1/2 the states in Peninsular. I don’t see anyone blaming Malacca, Pahang, nor even Perak, for falling into the hands of BN," Shaun, a KLite, the person who shared the above screenshot, wrote in his Facebook post, defending the people of Sarawak."Yet somehow, Sarawak seems to be blamed for everything that has gone wrong."

Another FB post highlights why it's wrong of others to criticise and blame the people of Sarawak for practising their right and political choice, regardless of how much you may disagree with that choice

"An election is the democratic process of the population to select a leader of choice. It can be a battle which may be unfair and dirty in places but ultimately it is also the final personal choice of each individual who went to vote", reads the Facebook post by Wiliam Cheah, who gave SAYS his permission to use it for this story.The insulting comments, William writes, by people from outside the state are the reason why Sarawakians and Sabahans "react with hostility towards us".

What To Do & How To Claim Insurance If Your Car Gets Affected By A Flood

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

If your car is one of the many affected by the floods, a Malaysian has recently detailed what to do and how you can claim insurance

In a viral tweet on Sunday, 19 December, @amaninanaeeim tweeted a step-by-step guide.1. Do not start your engine. Avoid doing this as it may cause even more damage to your engine.2. Take a photo; record the location, time, and date of the flood.3. Even when the floodwaters subside, do not start the engine. Instead, call a tow truck to take the car to the nearest police station so you can make a report. 4. After completing it, you can send the report to any insurance panel workshop and make claims.This applies if you have bought additional coverage that protects your car from these types of disasters.

Unfortunately, the bad news is that floods, windstorms, rainstorms, landslides/landslips, the sinking of the soil/earth, or other convulsions of nature are referred to as natural disasters and are usually not covered by standard car insurance policies

Even if you bought a 'comprehensive' car insurance policy, floods still usually fall under additional coverage which you need to have paid for.According to a joint statement by Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia (PIAM) and Malaysian Takaful Association (MTA), "special considerations" may be given on a case-by-case basis.

"Policy/certificate holders are advised to contact their insurers or takaful operators for further advice as the scope of cover, terms and conditions including relief measures accorded by one insurer or takaful operator may differ with another," the two associations said, according to Malay Mail.

If you are unsure whether your car insurance policy covers the damages, you can contact your insurance agent to check

How To Save Money Without Losing All Your Friends And Family

Recently, when I was at a young lawyers' event, someone in the audience asked a tough question: "How do you be responsible with money when there's lots of social pressure?"

Now, of course, the standard answer is it’s about "balance."You don’t wanna be so stingy until you lose all your family and friends. Neither do you wanna say “Yes!” to everything until you’re broke.But I had this nagging feeling that my answer wasn’t good enough.And looking at the resigned faces of the participants, I think it’s a real challenge that most of us go through, yet can’t figure out. Worst case scenario?We give up trying to be responsible with money since it’s just too damn hard.However, no need to lose hope. Now that I have had some time to research and think on the question, I'm here today with my follow-up answer:With so much pressure from society to spend, and with the cost of living constantly going up — how do you be responsible with money without losing all your loved ones?

1. The Inertia Problem

Let’s be honest. The average level of financial literacy among people is horribly low. And when I say financial literacy, I mean people who not only know about personal finance but actually use it to make their lives better.For people like us who actively try to get better with money, this presents a big problem. It’s difficult enough to escape the twin demons of debt and cost of living by yourself, but when your sister expects you to max out your credit card to “contribute” to her bridal shower — it feels like the universe is conspiring against you.I sometimes like to imagine our personal journeys to financial freedom like rockets blasting off into space. If you’re already at the advanced stage, all you need to do is continue cruising, avoid the occasional dangerous obstacle (e.g. a hot office affair which ends up in a pregnancy), and eventually, you’ll get there.But if you’re just starting out — that’s where it’s most challenging.In the beginning, it’s actually much easier for you to fall back to earth in a financial mess than it is for you to gain enough momentum and break through to financial freedom.Because you’re probably not earning that much, and there’s a lot more holding you back — for example, student loans.However, what gets less mentioned is that family and friends can pull you back too — huge chains tying your struggling rocket to the ground.

2. Gaining Momentum And Inertia

Here, you have choices. Yes, you could cut off every single thing that holds your rocket back, and it’d be easier for you to fly away. But perhaps a better way is for your rocket to gain enough power, so it helps pull everything tied to it to a better place too.Or more simply: I don’t want to leave all my loved ones behind so I can get rich. I want to be rich, and bring them up along with me.The rest of this article examines some practical ways to make this happen.I’m not gonna lie to you and say it’s easy — especially since you’re probably a young person. Money and relationships often don’t mix well — did you know that money is often quoted as the Number 1 reason for fights in marriages?But we have to try. Otherwise, we’ll be stuck in this sad cycle where we’re always struggling with money. And where our loved ones struggle too.

3. How To Say No

Being responsible with money is gonna require you to say "No" a lot.As I like to say, eating overhyped avocado toast is not gonna make you poor. But a combination of avocado toast, shopping sprees, big party nights, and expensive vacations most probably will. ¯_(ツ)_/¯So no, you don’t have to give everything up.But you will have to choose what’s important to you, and decide what’s not. And when you’ve figured out what you’re gonna say no to, here’s how to say it...

4. Frame It In Positive Terms

Your family and friends love you — they wanna spend quality time with you. But what if their idea of weekly RM 100 Red Box Plus karaoke is burning your wallet?"Sorry, I can't afford it" is brutally honest. But to the receiver of your message, it may sound more like "You're not important enough to me."Take into account that you've probably had a long history, are very emotionally invested in each other, and we have a big problem.The key here is to never just reject. It's to reject, explain why, and then explain your future money plans instead. For example: "I would love to join, but I'm struggling right now with money. I'm actually saving to do my Masters next year."Now, the focus shifts away from rejection to saving for your Masters. And since it's socially unacceptable to ask someone to give up responsible things for their future — hopefully, your loved ones will understand.Although, not only do you want them to understand your limitations, but you also want them to know they're still important...

5. Come Up With A Better Alternative

Which is why you'll come up with better, cost-efficient alternatives. For example:"Hey, I know I've missed karaoke for the past two weeks. How about we go for some live music today? The tickets are cheap, and we can all sing along too."Feel free to propose whatever activity you think your loved ones would like.The crucial thing here is that you show your loved ones that they are still important to you, and you really wanna spend time with them.Yes, blowing money always makes things easier. But whoever said that people can't have a good time without spending lots of cash?

6. Be The Voice Of Reason

You know how every group has that "one guy"? There's the food guy — who knows exactly where to get the best nasi lemak. There's the fashion diva — who knows exactly what colours and patterns to wear this season. And then there's the party queen — who knows how to get invites to all the coolest events.Well, you're gonna take on a role too — and your role is gonna be "Responsible Money Manager". And after maybe some awkward conversations in the beginning (refer to above point for tips), your friends are gonna love you more. You know why?Because within your social circle, this is probably true:1. Your friends/family are also struggling with money.2. They’re embarrassed to talk about it.But now, there's a person in the group who is openly trying to get better with money. And not only that, she's gonna help her friends and family with money too.

Image via Pexels

Now, if you're thinking, "I'm not rich so I can't give them money. And I'm just starting to learn, so how could I possibly help?"Well, I say you can. To list a few helpful things you could easily learn and share:1. New promos/discounts in the market2. Tips on how to save more money3. (Non-dodgy-MLM) ideas on how to make more money4. Good articles/websites where people can learn more5. Cool personal finance "influencers" to follow.

Here, I'd like to add that I'm not asking you to preach to them or to shove your money beliefs down their throat. That's just annoying.

What I am saying is, once your circle gets comfortable with your interest in money, they'll actually come to you for advice and help.Remember, the average level of financial literacy among people is so bad, that it only takes very little effort to be ahead of everyone else. I'm telling you this not because I want you to be proud, or charge for your advice. (At the start, you shouldn't.) I'm telling you this because I want you to help the people around you.Be that voice of reason in your group. If they wanna do stupid things with money, call it out. Speak up for those who are struggling with money, but are too ashamed to admit it. To say the hard things that everyone kinda knows but don’t dare to bring up.People need a trusted person — someone to lean on for emotional support — to inspire them to get better. So be that person and help them.And if you keep it up long enough...

...You'll eventually develop a reputation for being money-savvy

And I say this from personal experience.My pen name "Mr-stingy" sometimes has hilarious effects: like people think I'm the cheapest motherf*cker on earth so they'll quietly pull me aside with a concerned look: "Honestly, are you really stingy?"Mind you, my philosophy is to only be stingy with things that don't matter.I wouldn't mind being generous with things actually matter. For example, don't buy an expensive car, but give money to your parents.But having that money-competent label on your head has some real social value.It takes time to develop, but once you get there your friends/family are gonna respect you a whole lot more, than if you were just an "okay, just go with the flow" person.I will put it bluntly here: in modern society, money (or the ability to be good with money) equals power. Not to mention, it opens up more opportunities to gain influence and expand your social networks.You're now not just seen as the "cost controller" or "check with ms-stingy if the price is okay, otherwise, she won't join" person anymore.Now you're an influencer.

7. Win Some, Lose Some

I had to put this point in, even though it's my least favourite one. Because try all you want with the above methods, but there'll still be a minority who won't be happy with your responsible spending habits. You might even hear mean things:"Why do you have to be so calculative?""So now, money is more important to you than friendship?""Remember, blood is thicker than water.""But this is just once in a lifetime!""You've changed."Yes, you could always try to earn more money, so you can throw around more cash.But understand that even billionaires have people who're unhappy with how they spend their riches. Seems like no matter what — there will always be some people will always want to tell you what to do with your money.And if you don't agree, some relationships will get soured.Some people might drift away. It’s not easy. Losing people never is. But sometimes this is necessary and you have to let them go.Sometimes two people who aren’t aligned in certain things (in this case money) need to part ways, so they can be themselves and find their own paths in life.I can feel your pain as I type this. But growth comes through pain.

Lastly, I would like to emphasise that if you play it right, you won't need to give up all your friends and family to be good with money

In fact, your newfound powers with money will always be good for your loved ones. The majority who want good things for you will understand.But as we discussed earlier, growth is painful.Your struggles today are a result of you daring to challenge the status quo. To break free from decades of poor money habits that have become ingrained into society. Change is scary, even for the bravest and brightest among us.So even those closest to you will struggle with your new direction for a while. They’ll need time. But keep the faith and press on. And though it may seem this way at the moment, there’ll come a day when you realise you’re no longer alone.And that for so long you couldn’t see the people you were so afraid of losing — not because they had abandoned you, but because they were behind you all along.

Yes, The Weirdest Weapons In History Include Zombie Guns And Fart Bombs

1. Fart bombs to humiliate the Germans in World War II

The fart bomb worked, but almost too well with the sprayer often left as pungent as their potential target.
Image via news.com.au

As ridiculous as it sounds this was a project that actually found its way into operation during the second world war. Developed by the Americans and given to the French resistance, these weaponised stink bombs were designed to be sprayed directly onto German occupiers with the aim of humiliating and by extension demoralising them.

        lockeroom.com.my

The advantage of using stink bombs is that odors, unlike pepper spray and tear gas, are not dangerous. And they are effective at low concentrations.

        nationalgeographic.com

2. Dogs strapped with explosives, also known as 'anti-tank dogs' to carry explosives to tanks of Soviet and German forces in World War II

In the Soviet Union, anti-tank dogs were trained to think that food was stored under tanks and armored vehicles. Then they were laden with explosives and released onto the battlefield where they ran straight under the tank and were detonated – doing the most damage possible to the tank.
Image via toptenz.net

Man’s best friend was sent into battle in the second world war when, in an effort to combat the enemy’s armoured capability, Soviet forces employed what would later become known as bomb dogs.

        lockeroom.com.my

They were then starved before being released on the battlefield with explosives strapped to them. Amazingly it worked and after scores of units were destroyed, an order was sent out to German troops to shoot all mutts on sight.

        lockeroom.com.my

3. Whirlwind canons to blow enemies away like a natural disaster would

The brainchild of an Austrian scientist, the whirlwind cannon was developed by German forces during second world war as a form of anti-aircraft weapon.
Image via toptenz.net

The canon worked by creating explosions in a combustion chamber and releasing the energy through targeted nozzles towards their targets. A scale model was built and successfully tested.

        lockeroom.com.my

The Whirlwind Cannon was built in Germany during World War II to produce man-made whirlwinds. A full size Whirlwind Cannon was constructed but it was unable to produce whirlwinds at high altitudes and the project was scrapped.

        toptenz.net

4. Vomit ray to cause severe motion sickness, nausea and vomiting spells, currently being developed by the US navy

      Unsupported video platform

Anyone hit by these waves (which, by the way, can pass through walls) is expected to throw up and experience severe motion sickness — effects that were proven when the company demonstrated the weapon on a very unlucky individual.

        yahoo.com

Currently being developed with the backing of the US navy, the vomit ray or ‘non-lethal stand-off weapon’ as it’s otherwise known, harnesses radio frequencies to make its targets dizzy. The aim is to disorientate and confuse opposing forces but the secondary effect of the weapon is that it can actually make its targets physically sick.

        lockeroom.com.my

5. Flaming pigs to terrorise elephants that were used to transport enemies of the Roman empire back in ancient history

Poor piggies.
Image via gstatic.com

Legend has it that in around 260BC it was not uncommon for pigs to be covered in flammable fluid and released into the battlefield. The sight, sound and presumably smell of the beasts would disrupt opposing forces, especially if they were using battle elephants, who were notoriously scared of even the slightest of critters.

        lockeroom.com.my

In the first century BC, Roman poet Titus Lucretius Carus mused that early humans may have attempted to launch wild beasts, such as lions or "savage boars," against the enemy, but with catastrophic results. War pigs are pigs reported to have been used in ancient warfare as a countermeasure against war elephants.

        wikipedia.org

Flaming pigs as weapons - the sight, sound and presumably smell of the beasts would disrupt opposing forces, especially if they were using battle elephants.

6. Bat bombs to detonate buildings in Japan that explosive-strapped bats took refuge in

      Unsupported video platform

Toward the end of World War II, the Air Force was looking for a better way to burn Japanese cities to the ground. A dental surgeon contacted the White House, and suggested strapping small incendiary devices to bats, loading them into cages shaped like bombshells and dropping them over a wide area.

        wired.com

The plan consisted of actual bats that would have timed explosives strapped to them and then be released in Japanese cities. By night the flying critters would whoosh around like normal, but when daylight came they’d seek shelter in the nooks and crannies of buildings, just in time for their incendiaries to detonate.

        lockeroom.com.my

Amazingly the idea actually worked, but the detonation of atomic bombs over Nagasaki and Hiroshima ended the conflict before it could be put in operation.
Image via img.com.ua

More tests were scheduled for the summer of 1944 but the program was cancelled by Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King when he heard that it would likely not be combat ready until mid-1945. By that time it was estimated that $2 million had been spent on the project. It is thought that development of the bat bomb was moving too slowly, and was overtaken in the race for a quick end to the war by the atomic bomb project.

        wikipedia.org

7. The gay bomb, also known as the 'love bomb' developed by the US air force to spread the love, not war

      Unsupported video platform

The basic aim was to release non-lethal chemicals including strong aphrodisiacs to encourage the enemy to engage in homosexual activity. The project, which was revealed after a freedom of information request in the US, was described in the proposals as "distasteful but completely non-lethal".

        lockeroom.com.my

In both of the documents, the possibility was canvassed that a strong aphrodisiac could be dropped on enemy troops, ideally one which would also cause "homosexual behavior". The documents described the aphrodisiac weapon as "distasteful but completely non-lethal".

        wikipedia.org

The halitosis bomb or gay bomb was a theoretical non-lethal bomb that when deployed would release strong female pheromones.
Image via toptenz.net

The gay bomb was never actually built but the idea was developed by the United States Air Force in 1994. The proposal was later discovered by the Sunshine Project through a Freedom of Information Act request.

14 Orang Asli Have Died In Kelantan Within A Month. Here's All You Need To Know

14 Orang Asli in Kuala Koh, Gua Musang have died in the past month

Image via Free Malaysia Today

National Unity and Social Wellbeing Minister P. Waytha Moorthy confirmed yesterday, 9 June, that the deaths are believed to have occurred between 2 May and 7 June, reported Sinar Harian. He added that two of them have died from pneumonia, while the cause of death of the other 12 victims remain unknown as the bodies have been buried by locals prior to reports of the outbreak.

Here is what we know about the deaths so far:

1. As of 8 June, 83 Orang Asli from the Batek tribe in Kuala Koh are believed to have symptoms of pneumonia

Sinar Harian reported Waytha as saying that two of them, a 36-year-old woman and three-year-old baby, are currently in critical condition. "37 villagers are currently under outpatient treatment, 32 people are being treated at Gua Musang Hospital (HGM), 11 are at Kuala Krai Hospital (HKK), and three are at the Orang Asli Health Homestay (RIKA) in Gua Musang," the minister said.

According to Channel NewsAsia, Kelantan State Health Department director Dr. Zaini Hussin revealed that based on the clinical symptoms and infection contracted by the villagers, the cases are believed to be pneumonia.

2. A local, who had lived in Kuala Koh for 10 years, claimed that the deaths were caused by mining activities nearby

A 32-year-old single father, Adidas Om, told Channel NewsAsia yesterday that he believes the outbreak and deaths are connected to mining activity around his village. He revealed that his two daughters have been experiencing breathing difficulty for days, and could not sleep at night."Apart from my children, my neighbours are suffering from the same disease and some have died," Adidas said.

3. However, despite knowing that the mining activities have caused water pollution, villagers claimed that they were left with no choice but to use the water for daily activities

26-year-old Zeli Shahir Khan told Kosmo Online yesterday that her fellow villagers have knowingly used polluted water from Sungai Pertang for daily necessities for the last few years. "We are left with no choice but to drink and cook using polluted water as our village is located too far from clean water supply... I believe the polluted water also caused my siblings to pass away almost a month ago due to lung infection," Zeli was quoted as saying by Kosmo Online

Another local, 32-year-old Inja Punai claimed that the contamination has been happening since three years ago. "We have not made accusations but suspect that the water pollution is caused by chemical waste from an iron ore-mining company that has been operating here since three years ago," Inja revealed. "Before this, our village was threatened by the opening of an oil palm plantation to the point where our river was buried with soil, but it wasn't as bad as this time," the villager added.

4. The Ministry of Water, Land, and Natural Resources has since vowed to probe the alleged water contamination in Kuala Koh

New Straits Times reported that Deputy Minister Tengku Zulpuri Shah Raja Puji said earlier today, 10 June, that the ministry will investigate if water pollution is behind the pneumonia outbreak among the Orang Asli community. "We have been conducting visits to review all the issues raised by the community today," Zulpuri said, according to New Straits Times.

Meanwhile, the Orang Asli Development Department (JAKOA) pledged to assist investigation of the bacterial outbreak. "JAKOA is also planning to supply raw water to the residents as initial aid following allegations that their water sources have been polluted... We hope the disease is not contagious," JAKOA director-general Prof Dr. Juli Edo told New Straits Times yesterday.

5. According to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, the government will take stern action against culprits if the deaths are found to be caused by water contamination

Image via Channel NewsAsia

Channel NewsAsia reported Wan Azizah as adding that mining and logging activities in the area will also be probed to make sure proper procedures in relation to the environment have been followed. "Stricter enforcement and more deterrent measures are some of the steps that must be looked into," she added.


10 Perangai 'Annoying' Orang Bercinta Kena Stop Buat Di Laman Sosial

Kami pasti ada di kalangan kawan-kawan anda yang menjadikan laman sosial sebagai medan untuk mempamerkan rasa cinta mereka terhadap pasangan masing-masing. Betul tak?

Image via giphy.com

Apa anda rasa bila nampak benda-benda macam ini di 'timeline' anda? 'Annoying' kan? Jadi kepada mana-mana orang bercinta di luar sana, adakah anda termasuk dalam 11 golongan di bawah?

1. Suka 'upload' gambar berdua-duaan sepanjang masa, tak kiralah kat mana pun

Image via tumblr.com

Sekali-sekala takpelah jugak. Ini dah jadi macam rutin harian. Atau kalau dah takde gambar yang nak upload hari tu, upload pulak gambar boyfriend/girlfriend dengan kapsyen yang sweet.

2. Kalau ada apa-apa 'anniversary', mesti ada 'countdown' atau ayat popular "counting days"

Image via wordpress.com

Contohnya: "23 days til I'm officially yours. OMG! Tak sabar!"

3. Sering menggunakan 'hashtag' yang melebih-lebih

Image via fanpop.com

Hashtag seperti #cintahati #sayang #futurehubby #futurewifey #mylove #myboo #rinduawak200peratus #missyou #rindu #awakkatmana #dontleaveme #comebacksoon dan macam-macam lagi digunakan bagi membuktikan cinta yang sangat mendalam terhadap pasangan.

4. Buat plan dengan pasangan macam "Sabtu ni kita main badminton, nak?" dekat 'page' si dia

Image via giphy.com

Ada banyak lagi cara yang boleh digunakan untuk membuat plan seperti 'Whatsapp', 'WeChat', 'Telegram', 'Viber' atau 'KakaoTalk'. Dan kalau anda nak tahu, sistem SMS pun masih wujud lagi.

5. Bergaduh, bersembang, meluahkan perasaan cinta dan lain-lain yang seangkatan dengannya

Image via giphy.com

Bila gaduh, cerita. Bila happy, cerita. Bila rindu, cerita. Bila sedih, cerita. Bila dating, cerita. Apa je yang taknak cerita?

6. Gambar profil WAJIB gambar mereka berdua

Image via imageshack.com

Yang ini mungkin tak dapat dielakkan. Maklumlah, kalau tak letak gambar dengan pasangan, si dia akan merajuk pulak.

7. 'Post' dedikasi paling sweet kepada si dia secara halus untuk orang lain baca

Image via giphy.com

Secara halus? Macam mana tu? Contohnya muat naik status seperti, "Awaklah yang terbaik untuk saya. Terima kasih sebab buat saya bahagia.". Kalau diikutkan, boleh je kalau nak beritahu pasangan depan-depan tapi saja nak suruh orang lain tahu boyfriend/girlfriend atau suami/isteri dia lah yang terbaik di dunia.

8. Kongsi akaun laman sosial dengan gabungan nama ala-ala Brangelina

Image via reactiongifs.com

Rasanya, tak perlu sampai nak berkongsi semua benda kot. Bak kata pepatah, "everyone has their own privacy."

9. Tak habis-habis 'post' gambar si dia

Image via hellogiggles.com

Mungkin sebab dah tak tahu nak upload gambar apa, jadi apa salahnya kalau penuhkan timeline orang lain dengan gambar pasangannya. Kalau tak upload gambar sehari macam tak sah.

10. Komen benda-benda yang bagi 'hint' cemburu pada gambar si dia

Image via tumblr.com

Contohnya, katakanlah si boyfriend upload gambar dengan kawan-kawan perempuan lain bersamanya (rakan sekelas, rakan sekolah, rakan sekerja), lepastu si girlfriend pun komen "handsomenya lelaki tu. Boyfriend siapalah tu." Kalau ini terjadi, maksudnya dia cemburu lah tu.Ini kes biasa bagi pasangan yang 'clingy'. Jangan sampai mengongkong sangat.

Jadi, kepada mana-mana pasangan yang tergolong dalam kategori-kategori di atas, tak salah untuk berkongsi tetapi mesti ada hadnya

Kami faham mungkin anda sedang berada dalam fasa yang paling membahagiakan dalam hidup anda. Biasalah kalau dilamun cinta, segalanya akan nampak indah dan mesti anda akan rasa nak kongsikan kegembiraan dengan orang sekeliling, termasuk di laman sosial.

Nasihat kami, tidak perlulah terlalu 'lovey dovey' di depan orang ramai. Kurangkan aktiviti anda berdua di laman sosial agar anda 'happy dan orang lain pun 'happy'. Jadi, apa kata kita layan video #KucingHappy.

                Tiba-tiba ada Elizabeth Tan dalam video #KucingHappy. Comel kan?

Susah nak jumpa kucing yang boleh bercakap dalam Bahasa Melayu.

Hospital Canteen In Klang Temporarily Shut Down After A Rat Video Went Viral

A 32-second video clip of a rat on a buffet food counter, allegedly at a local hospital canteen, has recently gone viral on social media.
The rat could be seen picking up a piece of cabbage and nibbling on it in the video.

According to New Straits Times (NST), several comments on social media posts about the rat video said that the incident happened at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) in Klang. Responding to the video, HTAR director Dr Ding Lay Ming, told NST that the hospital management has launched an internal investigation to verify the authenticity of the video and when it occurred. "So far, we have yet to confirm that the video was taken at the HTAR canteen. We are investigating to find out where and when the video was recorded, before taking further action," Dr Ding added, as reported by NST. The video does not have a timestamp, nor is there any indication on where it was taken at.

Soon after the video started circulating, the Klang District Health Office ordered a temporary shutdown of the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) canteen effective 2pm today, 18 August

The Malaysian Insight posted a photo of the notice which says that the Klang government hospital's canteen will have to cease operations until 1 September due to hygiene issues. Dr Ding also told the news channel that the hospital is still unsure of where the video came from and that the shutdown of the canteen has nothing to do with the rat video. "I really do not know where that (video) came from but we are making them (the canteen operators) clean up the canteen."We routinely spring clean the canteen. This video, I take it as an opportunity to ensure that the operators clean it properly," she explained.

Dr Ding explained that while a two-week closure notice is the health department's standard operating procedure, establishments can usually reopen once it has been thoroughly cleaned

"We will inspect the place again this evening and if we are satisfied with the cleanliness, we will allow them to reopen later this evening,'' she told The Star today, 18 August. The English daily also mentioned that this is not the Klang government hospital's first problem with hygiene. In April 2015, they were ordered to cease operations for two weeks for rodent infestation and lack of cleanliness, according to The Star.

"No Indians Allowed" – Couple Denied Stay At Bentong Homestay By Racist Airbnb Host

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

A Malaysian woman has called out a property on Airbnb for being blatantly racist after one of its agents turned down her booking when they found out her boyfriend is Indian

The woman, who requested not to be named, said her boyfriend was looking to book the homestay in Bentong, Pahang for his family's annual Christmas trip."I called the host, who is supposedly one of the property agents. We spoke in Mandarin, and I clarified some questions about the property before we decided to book," she recounted on Twitter.

Image via Twitter

It initially went well, she said, and so the couple decided to place the booking.
However, when her boyfriend reached out to the same agent, he was asked to declare his race.

Confused, he asked the agent why that would matter, and the agent replied, "We just rent to Chinese and Malay," and cancelled their booking."He said the company's reasoning for this is that they have rented the property out to a group of Indian people and they didn't follow the rules," the woman tweeted in disbelief."Just because one group of people from a certain race left the place dirty, it makes it okay for you to assume every single person from that race is dirty?"The woman added that when she called up the agent for more information, the agent had allegedly said, "They're so dirty, they leave the place messed up and stole the property's ice cream."

Image via Twitter

The Twitter thread was retweeted over 6,000 times and garnered over 11,000 likes at the time of writing

Netizens sympathised with the woman and agreed that it was a bad way for the Airbnb property to do business."That's so evil. As if he has never come across a Malay or Chinese who is dirty and not good at tidying up. It's not about the race, it's about the person. Because of one group, all this has gone out of hand," said a netizen.Meanwhile, another replied, "Exactly! Those who are dirty are characteristics of the individuals, not a race. Frustrating."

Image via Twitter

"The thing is, it's business, you'll come across bad durians once in awhile, doesn't mean you got to hate the fruit," said someone else.

Image via Twitter

Airbnb also responded to the woman's viral tweet, saying that they do not condone discrimination in any way, as stated in their non-discrimination policy

The company then urged her to send them a message so that they could look into the matter.The woman told SAYS that Airbnb has since taken down the agent's listing, but the effort is probably in vain."There's another host of the same property who also declined our request to book due to race and their listing is still up," she shared.SAYS has also reached out to the property for their side of the story but has yet to receive a reply.

The woman also acknowledged that it was likely the actual owners of the property, not the agents, who were imposing such racist rental requirements

She questioned why the owner could not just impose a penalty fee if they were afraid of guests messing up their house."If anyone who rents your property damages it, doesn't matter what colour their skin is, just impose a penalty fee. Doesn't that make more sense than just being downright racist?" she asked.Finally, she added, "I hope Malaysians will do better. [I hope we] find a rational solution to our problems and stop judging people based on their skin colour."

In April, several Malaysians spoke to SAYS about their personal encounters with racism when looking for a place to stay:

                Malaysians Share Horrible Stories Of How They Struggled To Rent A Place Due To Racism

"They allowed me to stay because I didn't look like a 'typical Indian', whatever that meant."

In 2019, the government was called to draw up an anti-racial discrimination law to address rental racism:

He said such acts go against the foundations of peace and unity in Malaysia.

REVEALED: How North Koreans Talk About Their Supreme Leader In Private

There is an almost complete denial of the right to freedom of thought as well as of the rights to freedom of opinion in North Korea, according to a U.N. panel's Commission of Inquiry, which was looking into the situation of North Korean's rights and freedoms

Writing in its report in February 2014, the Commission of Inquiry said: "State surveillance permeates the private lives of all citizens to ensure that virtually no expression critical of the political system or of its leadership goes undetected. Citizens are punished for any 'anti-State' activities or expressions of dissent. They are rewarded for reporting on fellow citizens suspected of committing such 'crimes'."

In fact, people who express dissent or criticise the state, even if unintentionally, are subject to harsh punishments and detention

If they are lucky they are executed because being sent to a political prison camp is worse than death, as these torture drawings of North Korea prison reveal the horrifying animal-like treatment they are made to go through.

In such light, the question — 'what do ordinary North Koreans think of their leader, Kim Jong-un?' — becomes an impossible one to answer. But that's exactly what this new survey is trying to do.

While minuscule in nature, the survey by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) does help shed a light on the lives of those living under a totalitarian state, where — if you're not professing wholehearted adulation for the Kim regime — you are potentially exposing yourself to a life of hell in a political prison camp.This survey "gives us a window into what the average North Korean citizen is thinking", Victor D. Cha, chair of Korea studies at CSIS, who runs the "Beyond Parallel" project dedicated to Korean unification, told The Washington Post.

Image via The Washington Post

According to Victor D. Cha, chair of Korea studies at CSIS, "this is the first time we're hearing directly from people inside the country"

Image via Beyond Parallel

The survey results were published on Wednesday. It reveals:

1. Out of the 36 people surveyed, none of them said that the country's public distribution system of goods provides what they want for a good life.2. ONLY 1 of the 36 people said that while the country's public distribution system did provide him with enough in the 1990s, it currently does not.3. That 35 of 36 respondents' family, friends, or neighbours complain or make jokes about the government in private.

Image via Beyond Parrallel

The fact that all but just 1 out of the 36 respondents surveyed said that they know people who complain and makes jokes about the government may not seem like that big of a deal to us in Malaysia...

...where we still enjoy ample amount of free speech and can be found cracking jokes at the expense of our government, it is, in fact, an extraordinary figure when you put in perspective the manner in which the Kim Jong Un regime responds to criticism.

Elderly Couple Fight To The Death Over RM20 Meant For Chicken Drumstick

Warning: Graphic content

Warning: Images may be graphic to some

Image via amazonaws.com

The trigger: RM20

Mr Qiu Yong Gui took out a parang and attacked his wife.

Image via asiaone.com

Madam Huang was upset as she suspected her husband stole the money.

Image via asiaone.com

Incident took place in their house in Rimba Panjang, Perak.

Image via asiaone.com

RM20 does not seem worth fighting over, but an elderly couple battled each other with parang and blunt objects after the wife accused the husband of stealing the money.

        thestar.com.my

The woman had allegedly wanted to buy chicken drumsticks when she found that the money was missing from her purse.

        thestar.com.my

The woman, 66, questioned her 73-year-old husband but the man denied that he had taken it and showed his money to prove that he did not need to steal from her, Guang Ming Daily reported.

        thestar.com.my

The argument led to the elderly couple attacking each other with a knife, hammer and hot oil in their home

Mr Qiu's son was shocked to find him covered in blood.

Fight left Mr Qiu with cuts from his parang, while his arms and legs were scalded by boiling oil.

Image via asiaone.com

The incident took place at the Malaysian couple's house in Rimba Panjang, Perak, on Tuesday afternoon, reported China Press.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

The couple started quarrelling in their house after the wife failed to find the money, which she had kept in her wallet, at about 12.30pm on Tuesday. They then attacked each other with parangs and hard objects.

        thestar.com.my

The pair started arguing and Mr Qiu took out a parang and attacked his wife. Madam Huang retaliated with boiling oil and a hammer.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

She managed to wrestle the parang off her husband before hitting him on the head with the hammer. She also poured the boiling oil on him, reported China Press.

        asiaone.com

The neighbours called the son, who was shocked to see both his parents in blood

Neighbours said they heard a scream at about noon and went out of their houses to find out what was happening. They called the couple's son and the emergency services.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Their son was shocked by the sight of his parents when he arrived at the scene, neighbours said. When help arrived, the old man was found meekly sitting at the corridor of his house, while his wife could still stand up.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

An ambulance was called to the scene but the woman refused to go to the hospital in the same ambulance with her husband. Their youngest son had to send the woman to the hospital instead.

        thestar.com.my

Neighbours and relatives said that although the couple were often at loggerheads, this was the first time they resorted to such violence.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

The wife, 66-year-old Huang Yue Gui, initially said she was not sorry for attacking him

The wife says she is not sorry for attacking him

A SENIOR citizen involved in a bloody fight with her husband over RM20 on Tuesday says she has no regrets and will not pray for him "even if he dies". She claimed he had been bullying her for 50 years.

        mmail.com.my

Even when their child fell sick, she was the one who provided them medical care. "I snatched the parang from him and slashed him despite the neighbour shouting for us to stop fighting," she said.

        mmail.com.my

"He never paid a single sen for family expenses and never paid any attention to any family member. I got furious and attacked him with anything I could get. In return, he kept saying he did not steal the money. I refused to believe him as he will never admit it."

        mmail.com.my

Now, the 73-year-old man has died

The fight left Mr Qiu with cuts from his parang, while his arms and legs were scalded by the boiling oil.
His injuries were more serious than his wife's. Madam Huang suffered only a cut on her head.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

The couple were taken to hospital and the objects used in the fight were taken away by the authorities. The old man had some breathing difficulties, but both were in stable condition without any life-threatening injuries.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

He ended up being warded at the Taiping Hospital with serious injuries. His condition worsened at about 3am yesterday and he was transferred to the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital here, where he died at about 2.30pm.

        thestar.com.my

Police have arrested the wife for murder

Police arrested her yesterday. Sungai Siput OCPD Supt Azman Salim said the incident was being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
