I Was Battling With Chronic Anxiety Attacks And My Husband's Death Was The Last Straw

She's used to panic attacks, insomnia, shortness of breath, and regular heart palpitations. She lost her appetite and she certainly had no zest for life.

Her days and nights were filled with fear - the fear of death, fear of going mad, and fear of being alone. It was a dark time but those were only some of the things that Nazihah Iryani (also known as VirginRose) endured for more than a year. This is her story.

At the end of 2012, Nazihah was going through one of the most stressful moments in life. She was on the verge of breaking down.

"Pressured to complete my studies at university, getting married at a young age, divorce, barred from meeting my own child for six months, discovered that my pregnancy with my second husband was a molar pregnancy (an unsuccessful pregnancy); all of these made my life increasingly depressing," Nazihah recalled. Although her second husband had been very kind towards her child from her previous marriage, she had hoped to have a baby with him. However, things did not go quite as planned. "When the doctor confirmed that my four-month-old pregnancy had no heart and did not develop into a fetus, I was utterly disappointed and was depressed."

That was it. That episode pushed her over the edge.

"I began to be quick to worry and tend to think negatively. I suffered from chronic anxiety problems continuously. I felt afraid and anxious over little things," Nazihah said. Her work performance dropped drastically, causing her colleagues to feel dissatisfied as she often took sick leave and left her work undone, thus burdening them with her duties. "I felt like a walking corpse and neglected my duties as a wife and mother. I was too lazy to care for myself, let alone my husband and child. I lost interest in doing any activities due to the fear of death and I felt suffocated. I lost my true self!"

After she took a few tests at the medical centre, the doctor confirmed that she was suffering from anxiety disorder

She was advised to seek psychiatric treatment and to take medication but she refused. "But I refused to accept the treatment because I realised that the problem lies in the soul, and no one is able to restore my own soul except for myself." "I started looking for my own understanding of anxiety disorder and read inspiring stories of individuals who have successfully overcome their mental illnesses."

Just when things started getting better, she hit rock bottom when she received news that her husband died in a fatal accident

Image via VirginRose

"At that time, it felt like a stone crushed all the spirit that is left of me. I was depressed and refused to see anyone. I cried day and night."To make matters worse, some people began to forward cuttings of newspapers about her late husband's accident and death on WhatsApp. She had so many questions on her mind as she questioned her own fate. "Why is it that God took my husband straight out of my life at a time when I needed him most? How could I live the days ahead of me without him by my side? Will I lose my mind in the end? How do I want to raise my own child alone?" those questions kept playing on her mind.

However, who would have thought that this would be the incident that brought the much needed strength for Nazihah to overcome her mental illness

She did not want her and her son's life to be burdened by allowing this mental problem to be a source of suffering."I know that I could bounce back from this situation and walk the road of recovery, just as how I did a few months earlier.""I realise that this the cure does not come from the presence or absence of my husband but from myself. Only I have the power to help myself to recover with the strength from God."Since then, she had a different outlook at life.

Image via VirginRose

"Life and death, joy and sadness, sickness and good health, meeting new people and farewells are just cycles in life. Like how day and night come alternately, it's all a cycle."

That moment, she made a constant decision to change her life and quit complaining."I put the past behind and keep them as memories. I left the sad picture of the future as a mere imagination. I live life by taking one second at a time. I give meaning to my life in my own ways." She admitted that there are times when she still suffers from panic attacks that would cause her so much difficulty in breathing that she almost fainted, but she constantly trains herself not to pile up her anxiety and fear during those frequent attacks. She was learning how to let go and cope.

She struggled with her condition but she did not allow it to paralyse her like before

"After almost a year of going through the healing process in isolation without psychiatric medications, I have finally reached a real sense of relief," Nazihah said. She said that she was slowly freed from physical symptoms and chronic anxiety. "I managed to live a life more beautiful and extraordinary than before. Those were the things that I enjoy after I changed my views and perspective on anxiety disorder, thus changing my whole life."

Seeing that she is better than before, Nazihah has been reaching out to help others who are suffering from anxiety disorders

"I'm comfortable to meet other people who are suffering from anxiety disorder face-to-face to share and exchange our understandings about these mental illnesses," she said. Nazihah has been invited to speak about the topic of anxiety disorder by various organisations. Her list of experiences includes speaking to a group of participants at the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) Johor Bahru.

"All that I do is an effort to stop the negative stigma attached to anxiety disorder to view it as 'insanity'. I admit that this stigma arises because the patients themselves have little knowledge on this issue.""As such, the public is not communicated with the right understanding, thus inviting ridicule and various allegations that those suffering from anxiety disorders are 'hungry for attention'," she added.

She stressed that patients tend to suffer from depression which may lead to other mental illnesses if proper treatment is not given

"I would like to point out that understanding the patterns of attack of the anxiety disorder is important when walking on the road of recovery." "It must be known that those suffering from anxiety disorders can be well again iif we get the right treatment methods that are appropriate for our bodies."

Image via VirginRose

"I often remind myself, 'Peace and happiness is not something to be achieved. It's something that is felt and comes from within yourself. Appreciate this life and enjoy it to its fullest because you only have this one life.'"

Malaysian Photographs Stunning Birds & They're Just In His Neighbourhood

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

Sometimes, we just need a reminder to not hustle all the time, and to pause and live in the moment

It's easy to get caught up with our busy schedules, running around checking off lists and doing errands. One Malaysian, however, recently reminded us that life can be full of surprises if we take a moment to notice the little things around us.

Roy See, who has been living in Bangsar since 2001, has captured beautiful shots of not-commonly-seen birds around his neighbourhood

He read an article during the Movement Control Order (MCO) that challenged photographers to continue to take photos with what they have access to. Feeling inspired, the 36-year-old began to pace his garden to see if he could find any interesting insects to photograph. It wasn't long before he started to notice 'exotic' birds flying overhead and perching in nearby trees.

When the MCO rules were relaxed a little, he explained that he made it a point to document as many species as possible around Bangsar, taking advantage of the reduced road traffic that might have had an effect in coaxing these normally shy birds out from thick foliage and into the open.

"The lockdown made me realise that most of the time we are just 'too busy' to notice so many of these beautiful birds that are sharing the same space that we live in," See shared with SAYS.

"With this newfound awareness, I have started to notice birds on garden plants, on roadside trees, lamp posts, telephone wires, house gates, etc, just about anything — all around Bangsar neighbourhood"

"I once spotted (and photographed) a family of raptors, frolicking on a tree next to Bangsar Shopping Centre. One night, I also spotted a stoic owl on a telephone pole. There is a resident Oriental Pied Hornbill in Bangsar, seen by many, but I have yet to have the pleasure of meeting it."

After noticing such birds coming out into the open, all See needed was luck and perseverance to capture these beautiful shots

"I love to see the reactions from my family, friends, and neighbours when I show them photos of these interesting and not-so-commonly seen birds; and when they inevitably ask where I took them, it is always fun to reply with just 'Bangsar'", he shared.

It's one thing to be able to observe birds with your naked eye, but to be able to capture the perfect shot isn't always the easiest task

He shared one memorable moment when he convinced his wife to sit with him in one of the neighbourhood parks at night, as he was trying to photograph a resident Buffy fish owl."Drenched in a cocktail of mosquito repellent and our own sweat, we sat there for hours; at one point even hiding from a police patrol to save ourselves the hassle of having to explain to the cops what we were doing there," he revealed."The owl was a no-show that night."

Regardless, See has managed to spot many other beautiful, unique birds that one might never expect to see in the wild. Not in the city, at least.

He started off by driving around Bangsar area with his windows down, listening for bird calls and constantly scanning the sky. "Sometimes the birds lead me to the outside of people's houses; I can imagine it must be terrifying for Bangsar folk to see a stranger's car parked outside their homes with a long lens sticking out the window. I've stopped this practice on the account that is very unsafe, creepy, and also not very productive," he shared.

"Now I either walk around the neighbourhood, into the various trails scattered around Federal Hill, or just stand in my garden with my camera when I have just a little downtime."If you live or frequent the Taman Tun Dr Ismail and Mont Kiara areas, See shared that it's probably easier to bird-watch at the recreational parks there, due to the "park's close proximity to Bukit Kiara's sizeable greenery".

Treating photography as just a hobby, See emphasised that he's no expert in birds, but simply wants to share the beauty of the natural world through his captures

His love for photography started underwater when he borrowed his scuba instructor's camera to take a photo of a lion fish. Since then, he'd always wanted his own camera but realised it was too costly to get one exclusively for diving. So he made a promise to himself that he needs to use the gear not only for underwater, but for everything else as well."So far I have kept my own promise — using the camera to its fullest. Aside from underwater and bird photography, I have subsequently developed an interest in photographing a wide variety of things, including food photography, product, portrait, astrophotography, and street photography."

"Although I occasionally take photos for work purposes, I don't have the intention to make it my profession... I don't study birds academically; I only learn just enough from books and online to be able to identify the species for captioning purposes."For the photos that I really like, I print, frame and gift them to friends and family."

The phone is officially available in Indonesia at a price of IDR2,240,000 — which is roughly RM653.There's no official date yet, but Realme has confirmed that the phone will be arriving in Malaysia, soon.

Who Is #MalaysianOfficial1? Twitter Has The Funniest Answers

Just when you think the storm has been weathered, the spotlight is once again on the 1MDB scandal when the US Justice Department filed several lawsuits seeking to seize assets tied to misappropriated funds from 1MDB

US Attorney General Loretta Lynch speaking at a press conference in Washington DC.
Image via Al Jazeera

On Wednesday, 20 July, the Justice Department filed several lawsuits seeking to seize more than USD1 billion (RM4.05 billion) worth of assets, all of which were a results of USD3.5 billion (RM14.16 billion) that was misappropriated from the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), a sovereign fund set up by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak in 2009. The misappropriated funds were used to fund lavish lifestyles (e.g. hiring musicians and celebrities for parties), payment of gambling expenses, as well as the purchase of luxury property (mansions and apartments in Manhattan, Beverly Hills, and London), fine art (Van Gogh and Monet paintings), and jewelry.

“The Malaysian people were defrauded on an enormous scale,” said Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe at a news conference announcing the complaints. The asset seizure would be the largest ever by the Justice Department’s anticorruption unit.

        wsj.com

Several people were named in the lawsuit, including Najib's stepson Riza Aziz, financier Jho Low and his business associates, as well as several unnamed 1MDB officials. But one stood out in particular - "Malaysian Official 1".

Image via SAYS

According to a 136-page court document filed by the Justice Department, Malaysian Official 1 is described as "a high-ranking official in the Malaysian government who also held a position of authority with 1MDB". Furthermore, the individual "had the authority to approve all appointments to, and removals from, 1MDB’s Board of Directors and 1MDB’s Senior Management Team".In addition, the court document states that Malaysian Official 1 is "the ultimate beneficiary of the AMPRIVATE BANKING-MR Account" which received payments totalling approximately USD681 million (RM2.6 bilion) in March 2013, confirmed by the Attorney General of Malaysia.It was also added that Malaysian Official 1 is a relative of Riza Aziz and a friend of Jho Low.

Unsurprisingly, Malaysians had a field day with the #MalaysianOfficial1 hashtag on Twitter because GUYS. WHO THE HECK IS "MALAYSIAN OFFICIAL 1"?

Some jokingly owned up to the title, claiming part ownership to a USD35 million (RM141.56 million) Monet painting implicated in the lawsuits

Syed Saddiq Questions Why Teaching Institute Students Are Not Getting RM200 eBelia Aid

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

On Monday, 26 June, Muar member of parliament (MP) Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman shared a screenshot of a complaint that he received from a Malaysian student on Instagram

According to the screenshot, the student, who is currently enrolled at a Teachers Education Institute (IPG), also known as an Institut Pendidikan Guru, said they could not claim the RM200 eBelia Rahmah government aid."What is this behaviour? IPG students are also studying full time and (the institute) is registered with the Ministry of Education (MOE)," wrote the student."This is discrimination," they added.

Image via @SyedSaddiq (Twitter)

The Muar MP stated that it was unfair for IPG students to not receive the same government aid as students from other institutes

"Why are students from IPGs being left out? They're full-time students, and they're future teachers too!" Syed Saddiq wrote in a tweet."Other students from both private (IPTS) and government institutions (IPTA) received the funds, no matter rich or poor. Why were they ostracised?" he added.In October last year, during the tabling of Budget 2023, the government announced that all Malaysians aged between 18 and 20, as well as full-time students above the age of 21, would be eligible for RM200 of e-wallet credit.

Image via @SyedSaddiq (Twitter)

At the time of writing, Syed Saddiq's tweet has garnered over 1,600 retweets and 4.4 million views

However, some Malaysians did not agree with his points.One user pointed out that IPG students already receive a monthly allowance, so it's only fair that the eBelia Rahmah aid is distributed to others."IPG students are also 100% guaranteed a job, and the institute is not an IPTA, they’re only registered (as a standalone institute) under MOE."Why do you always point out things that can be discussed and asked directly to stakeholders?" they added.

Image via Twitter

Another commented that eBelia Rahmah was created to assist students aged 18 to 20, and has nothing to do with the teaching institutions.

Image via Twitter

But some netizens agreed with Syed Saddiq's opinion, with one asking why the government could not just give every student the financial aid.

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, one IPG student admitted that they do already receive a monthly allowance of RM430.However, the allowance is insufficient for them because they must pay for other basic necessities, including housing rent, debts, fuel, clothing, and so on."But it's okay, IPG students don't deserve to get the aid because we receive monthly allowance, right?" they asked sarcastically.

Ibu Bapa Beri Nama Anak ‘Alhamdulillah Rezeki Hari Ini’ Dedah Sebab Di Sebalik Nama Itu

Sudah menjadi satu trend hari ini untuk memberi nama unik kepada anak. Ada yang sampai tergeliat lidah nak menyebutnya!

Bukan itu sahaja, ada juga ibu bapa yang suka memberi nama panjang kepada anak melebihi 80 aksara. Sudahnya nanti, mereka juga yang mengeluh apabila nak menulis nama anak di buku sekolah. Melihatkan trend yang semakin 'membimbangkan' ini, Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) melarang ibu bapa memberi nama yang panjang sehingga melebihi 80 aksara. Memetik laporan Berita Harian, Timbalan Ketua Pengarah (Operasi) JPN, Jasri Kasim, berkata 80 aksara itu turut merangkumi nama bapa, bin atau binti serta simbol seperti koma dan sebagainya.

Menurut Didit, dia mempunyai harapan yang besar supaya anaknya membesar menjadi manusia yang bersyukur

"Saya pernah menjadi manusia yang kurang bersyukur, kehidupan saya dahulu boleh dikatakan mewah kerana bekerja sebagai seorang jurufoto dan memperolehi bayaran yang lumayan. "Pada tahun 2014, ketika perkahwinan saya memasuki tahun kedua, saya diserang penyakit strok hingga menyukarkan saya untuk menggerakkan kaki dan tangan. Dalam keadaan sakit itu, saya mendapat tawaran kerja dengan bayaran lumayan daripada seorang lelaki di Bali."Pada mulanya saya menyangka bahawa lelaki itu adalah orang kaya. Saya terkejut saat melihat kehidupannnya yang bersederhana. Malah, lelaki itu juga terpaksa menggadaikan tanah milik keluarganya untuk membayar saya. "Melihatkan cara kehidupan lelaki itu membuatkan saya insaf serta mula belajar bersyukur tentang kehidupan. Perkara lain yang buat saya pelik apabila kaki dan tangan saya yang kononnya ada strok baik dengan sendirinya," kongsinya.

Tidak cukup itu, isterinya pula ditimpa kecelakaan

"Pada tahun 2018, isteri saya kemalangan hingga kakinya patah. Pelbagai cara berubat sudah dilakukan namun hasilnya tidak memuaskan. Malah, isteri terpaksa menggunakan alat bantuan untuk berjalan. "Setelah puas berusaha, kami bertemu dengan pakar tulang serta tukang urut dan isteri saya berjaya disembuhkan. Kami kemudian dikhabarkan bahawa isteri saya sukar hamil kerana ada masalah saraf. "Sebenarnya sudah pelbagai cara kami lakukan. Dari rawatan moden hinggalah ke tradisional namun semua tidak berjaya. Kami juga sudah berhenti berharap. Bagaimanapun, pada Februari 2019, isteri saya disahkan hamil 9 minggu," katanya.

Disebabkan rasa bersyukur yang amat sangat membuatkan dia mengambil keputusan memberikan nama unik itu kepada anaknya

"Isteri pernah bertanya kenapa ingin berikan nama itu, maka saya menjawab ringkas 'agar tidak jadi seperti bapanya' dan isteri terus faham," kongsinya.

Kisah yang dikongsi Didit sememangnya menginsafkan. Semoga anaknya membesar menjadi anak yang soleh.

6 Places To Order An iPhone 7 Before It Officially Launches In Malaysia

Apple has finally launched its long-awaited next generation smartphone - the iPhone 7 - earlier this month. Sadly for us, Malaysia is not in the first wave of countries that'll be receiving the device. :(

Image via Mirror

The smartphone went on sale on 16 September in first wave countries which include Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, US and the UK.

Now don't feel too sad just yet! Yes, Malaysia isn't on the list but a number of online shops and retailers have managed to get their hands on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus!

Image via Reuters

If patience isn't exactly your virtue or you wouldn't mind dropping a few extra stacks, below are the places where you can buy the highly-anticipated phone before it officially releases in the country:

1. Lazada

Image via Lazada

Apple fans keen to get their hands on the device can place their orders and get their phones from the famous online shopping with a one-year local supplier warranty. Prices start from RM3,149 for the 32GB model and RM4,839 for the 32GB iPhone 7 Plus model. The colours available includes jet black, matte black, silver, gold and rose gold.  Do note that the jet black or matte black colour comes with a heavier price tag, partly due to the popularity of the newly introduced colour choice.

There are a number of sellers over at Lowyat that are selling the phones at different prices. Do proceed with caution if you're planning to buy from a stranger and always go for cash on demand whenever possible.

Keep in mind that the phones listed above are imported by the sellers and you'll be claiming your warranty from them, not Apple

Or you could just wait a little longer for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to officially launch here. We're expecting the devices to arrive in a month or two.

Not a fan of the iPhone 7? Good news because the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are on sale!

[PHOTOS]  What's Left Of The Villages After Being Submerged In Floodwaters For Days?

The water levels in parts of Kelantan have dropped, revealing the devastating impact of the floods

In Manik Urai of Kuala Krai, villagers who had to climb up hills to save themselves returned home to ruined shops, houses and suraus

In the remote village of Kampung Manek Urai Lama, Kuala Krai, in the east coast state of Kelantan, hundreds of villagers had been stranded for days up on the hills, having fled for higher ground when flood waters surged into their homes without warning.

        themalaysianinsider.com

No one in the village expected the flood to reach their homes. So when the water came rushing in at 3am last Tuesday, families scrambled to get to safety as frantic phone calls were made to the authorities to save them. But the rescue team wouldn’t, or couldn’t, come, and the villagers had only themselves to rely on. “The time when we needed them the most, the police, the firemen failed us,” Hayati said, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

        themalaysianinsider.com

What's left of many of their homes are just the base, as the structure had been washed away

“Everything is gone. Our furniture, our clothes, our food. We have nothing left,” she said, as her brothers lifted up the muddy remains of a wardrobe and dumped it in a heap in the street. “I can’t even imagine how my children will start school in the next few days, everything I’ve bought for them is destroyed,” Hayati (not her real name) said, her voice breaking.

In Tanah Merah, villagers have returned home but there is still no electricity nor water. The damage to the houses are so severe some are forced to sleep in tents and in their cars.

Fariza Salleh, 37, is putting up in a tent with six of her children outside her house at Kampung Batu Hitam here. She decided to return home, which is still without electricity or water, after staying at a relief centre for four days. She said the damage to her house was too much to bear and she decided to stay with her children in the dark tent with only a candle.

Another evacuee Razali Che Soh, 62, is sleeping in his car. “I left everything behind at home and I brought nothing with me. Just one pair of trousers and this dirty T-shirt,” the school gardener said.

But for some, there is nothing left to even salvage

“There’s nothing left for us to salvage,” a man from Kampung Manek Urai Lama said helplessly, as his relatives painstakingly tore apart the large yellow planks with a hammer and tossed them aside. “We’re just hoping for help from the government to rebuild this village, and maybe raise the roads leading to it so that this area won’t be inaccessible the next time there’s a flood.”

It is not only the mess that villagers have to face. They also have to find a way to pay for house repairs, buy new school supplies for their children, start their businesses from scratch.

Fariza, who sells drinks for a living, said she is worried about the safety of her children and school preparations. “My husband and I used to open up small booths to sell food. But, now all that has been wiped out by the flood. “How are we going to buy school uniforms and shoes for our children?” she asked. Fariza said her family wants to get a small portable cooking gas stove to feed her children.

        thestar.com.my

The villages of orang asli communities were also cut off by the devastating flood, with no way for organisations to send them supplies except by helicopter. Government aid has not even arrived yet.

He said there were many groups and organisations ready to help but the problem was getting supplies to these villagers. He said there was little or no access to these villages and that government aid has also yet to reach them. “There needs to be helicopters, and organisation and planning to reach these villages.”

        thestar.com.my

The 2,000 Temiar people who live in Gua Musang is believed to have lost everything. They may only have the clothes on their backs left.

Lawyer Siti Kassim, who is a member of the Bar Council’s Committee for Orang Asli Rights, was concerned for the approximately 2,000 Temiar who live in villages along rivers in Gua Musang. While contact with these villages was irregular, Siti said she had received word that many of the Temiar lost everything in the floods. “I fear that most will only have the clothes on their back and little else,” she said. To date, she only heard about one load of supplies that was trucked in by a Good Samaritan several days ago.

Meanwhile in Pahang, a total of 1,220 cases of flood related infections have been detected in six days

Pahang Health director Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar said the findings were made during health checks on 4,073 flood victims. Of the 4,073 flood victims examined, 1,645 non-infectious diseases such as knee problems, diabetes and asthma were also detected, other than 57 injuries and 614 other cases. “Of the total, only 28 infectious diseases are listed under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Although the water may be subsiding, some are still too traumatised to go home. Not after  they've been stranded in hills or mosques for days, looting vacated shop lots for the only source of food.

Husaini Hamzah, 40, stood by himself among the rubble several hundred metres away. He had arrived here alone from Kuala Lumpur the day before, after he heard that his family’s village was flooded. “When I arrived yesterday, I was devastated to see all my relatives squeezed inside a mosque outside of this village with a few hundred other people. They had been without any supplies for days. “They survived by looting other vacated shop lots. They had no other choice. It was either that or starve,” he said, adding that most of the elderly still remained in the mosque despite the floods subsiding, as they were too traumatised to go back to the village.

CCTV Footage Shows A Teenage Girl Peeing Inside A Launderette In Melaka

A teenage girl was caught on closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) urinating inside a launderette in Bukit Baru, Melaka

The bizarre incident, which happened on Tuesday, 6 August, came to light on Friday, 10 August, after the New Straits Times (NST Online) reported about it.According to the report, after urinating inside the launderette, the girl grabs a piece of clothing belonging to another customer and covers the pool of urine.

Image via Mat Nasir Baba/FB/NSTP

The CCTV footage of the teenager's act was uploaded on Facebook by the owner of the launderette, 65-year-old Mat Nasir Baba

Mat Nasir said that he decided to upload the video after reviewing the tape."On 6 August, I went to the launderette and noticed a pool of water near the benches. After checking the CCTV footage, I found out that the girl was behind it."Five minutes before (she urinated), I noticed that she was pacing up and down uneasily as if something was wrong," NST Online quoted him as saying."Even if her bladder was full, she should not have done it there," he added.

Image via Mat Nasir Baba/FB/NSTP

The launderette's owner, meanwhile, cannot make sense of it

He questioned her motive, saying there were toilets at two restaurants near his shop.

			She could have gone to either one of the restaurants if she could not hold it in. What she did was unbecoming.
        Mat Nasir Baba.

According to Mat Nasir, CCTV footage showed that the girl had been loitering at his shop for the next three days after the incident."On the third day, I confronted her but she refused to admit it. After I said her act was caught on CCTV, she fell silent and left," he said.

Hawkers Who Use Staples Or Nails To Pack Food Can Be Fined Up To RM10,000

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

Food traders who use nails, staples, or other dangerous materials to secure their food packaging can be fined up to RM10,000 or jailed for up to two years

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said that traders can be charged in court for the offence under Regulation 36 of Food Hygiene Regulations 2009.Noor Hisham added that a heavier punishment could be imposed if the material is found in the food under Section 13 of the Food Act 1983."[The regulation] states that any person who prepares or sells any food that has in or upon it any substance which is injurious to health commits an offence and shall be liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding RM100,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years or both," he said in a statement on Tuesday, 4 January.

He said the Ministry of Health (MOH) took note of the recent viral post on Facebook about a young child allegedly ingesting a nail that was used to secure a pack of rice

The Facebook community page, Public Health Malaysia, claimed that a child was rushed to a hospital because he accidentally swallowed a nail and was experiencing immense pain."An X-ray found that the nail had reached his stomach and emergency surgery was done to remove the nail. This is an example of an unwanted accident that could happen if a foreign object is found in our food," read the post that was uploaded on 31 December last year.The page urged food stall owners to stop using hazardous materials such as nails and stapler bullets to secure their food, and instead opt for tying methods.

Noor Hisham agreed that there are safer methods to pack food with, instead of using small metal objects that could cause serious injuries if accidentally consumed

"At the same time, the public, especially parents, are advised to check the food given to their children before consumption," he advised.He added that the ministry's Food Safety and Quality Division found 19 out of 546 food samples collected from 2019 to 2021 that were contaminated with physical materials such as stones, plastic, sand, hair, insects, and worms.

The Health DG reiterated that action will be taken against food operators and traders found going against the law

Regulation 36 of the Food Hygiene Regulations 2009 states that food handlers must ensure that the food packaging is free from any contamination, he said.Noor Hisham also encouraged consumers to contact their state health departments, district health offices, or head to MOH's website or the Food Safety and Quality Division's Facebook page to make a complaint if they see food being secured with nails and staples, or to report other issues regarding food safety.

In August, MOH's Food Safety and Quality Division reminded the public that monosodium glutamate (MSG) is halal and safe to eat:
