It's a small 17-gram peripheral you stick into your iPhone's headphone jack that sprays out one of three scents: Short Ribs, Beef Tongue, and Buttered Potato.

It costs only US$35 and compared to the usual US$30 cost of one Yakiniku meal, it is a steal, since you can use it anytime you want to convince yourself you’ll be satisfied with just a whiff of meat.

You’re just 4-steps away from replacing actual food with this meaty app, saving money and calories: 1. Choose 1 of 3 menu items: Short ribs, beef tongue, or buttered potato

It’s that simple. Scentee suggests that college students on a budget, women watching their weight, and couples who would otherwise go out to eat should use the Hana Yakiniku app instead of buying expensive meat.

        rocketnews24.com

Cartridge refills are $10, and Hana Yakiniku will be out November 15 in Japan.

A Family Loves Their Disabled Pet Duck So Much They Made It A Wheelchair To Roll Around On

Meet Abner the duck. Both of Abner's legs are malformed and she relies heavily on her owner, Adele Gichard, for help to get around.

Adele Gichard cuddles Abner the duck.

According to the website Stuff, four German backpackers brought Abner into the North Taranaki SPCA shelter in January this year

"They found her as a wee ducking while they were travelling. They travelled with her, looked after her, absolutely adored her but they were heading away and couldn't take her with them any more ."

        stuff.co.nz

Its suspected that Abner's leg disabilities may have been caused by eels. Adele is a bird enthusiast and had volunteered rehabilitating feathery creatures for the shelter before. "I just feel so sorry for her."

"People keep saying 'she's just a duck', but it's not like she can survive outside so she's not just a duck. She's quite different to a normal duck."Her favourite position is sitting against Adele's chest with her long neck draped over her shoulder while watching Shortland Street.

        stuff.co.nz

One day Adele was doing research on the Internet about disabled ducks and got the idea of creating a wheelchair. "I went around all the hardware stores and found a square trolley," she said.

Her mother Gail cut the shape into the trolley and created several canvas slings for the wheelchair. Abner took to it like a duck to water."She was obviously used to being handled and carried around. Now, once she's in it, she's quite happy," Adele said. "She can't really move too much in the wheelchair but it does get her up off her feet."While on her new wheels Abner has been known to get caught under chairs and the clothes rack. "It's not ideal because then she pulls the clothes."

        stuff.co.nz

Abner loves cuddles. She definitely thinks she's the boss.

If she's in the wheelchair and one of the dogs or cats tries to get too close she bites them, which is pretty hard for the blind dog." One of Adele's pet dogs is blind. Abner has bonded with Adele's daughter Molly. "In the evenings she loves being tucked in a towel and put in my daughter's bed for story time. If my daughter's reading she'll sometimes try to eat the book."

Abner is about six months old

LHDN Can Now Access Taxpayers' Bank Accounts Without Informing Or Seeking Permission

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

Taxpayers will no longer be informed or need to give their consent for the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) to have access to their bank account details for review or investigations, according to local media reports

The Vibes reported that the Dewan Rakyat has passed the Finance Bill 2021 today, 15 December, and one of the amendments, Section 106A of the Income Tax Act 1967, grants powers to LHDN to access bank account details of taxpayers for the purpose of making garnishment application purposes.Under the amendments, LHDN will also no longer have to inform taxpayers when requesting their bank account details from banks for review or investigation, reported Sin Chew Daily.Furthermore, the banks are not allowed to disclose to anyone that such a request has been made.The Sin Chew Daily quoted tax expert Koong Chin Loong saying that in the past, taxpayers were required to sign a consent form before banks were allowed to furnish relevant information to authorities.

Banks refusing to comply with such requests by the specified timeline or in the event that it discloses such requests by the tax department to any person, the banks shall be be found guilty of an offence

The banks are liable to a fine of between RM200 and RM20,000, or a maximum of six months' jail, or both.The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which was enacted to protect confidential information, will not be applicable when enforcing Section 106A in the future as banks will no longer need to obtain consent from bank account owners before furnishing any information to LHDN, the Sin Chew Daily report said.

According to Finance Deputy Minister I Mohd Shahar Abdullah, the new provision is needed to ensure smooth garnishee proceedings

The Vibes quoted Shahar saying that if banks were to inform their account holders of potential garnishee proceedings, it is possible for the debtors to remove all of their monies from the bank."This would ensure that the garnishee procedure cannot be carried out, hence the rationale behind introducing the amendment. Further, we have already consulted Bank Negara Malaysia before suggesting amendments," he said while debating the bill in the Dewan Rakyat today.

Meanwhile, banks will be reinstating their interbank ATM withdrawal fee of RM1 in February next year:

                Banks Will Reinstate RM1 Interbank ATM Withdrawal Fee From February 2022

The fee waiver was introduced during the Movement Control Order (MCO) last year.

"Shame On You" - Netizens Slam Minister For Statement On Girl Who Married Her Rapist

In 2013, the nation was shocked with news of a schoolgirl who married her rapist

Riduan Masmud (right) was sentenced to 12 years in jail and whipping for raping a 12-year-old.

Riduan Masmud, who was then 40 years old, raped a girl in a parked vehicle on a road near Kionsom Waterfall in Inanam, Sabah, between 9 and 10am on 18 February 2013.  The victim was 12 years old when the incident occurred.   Following the incident, the rapist, who is a father of four children, was charged with raping the schoolgirl. However, in his bid to escape conviction, Riduan told the court that he had married the girl. He had also bribed the victim's father a total of RM10,000 on three occasions in his attempts to get the police report the girl made against him withdrawn. Riduan, a former restaurant manager, was found guilty of statutory rape, and was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment and two strokes of the cane in February 2014. He filed an appeal, but the high court dismissed the appeal pertaining to his statutory rape case in January 2015.

After almost four years, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim has revealed how the girl is coping following the incident

Rohani told the Dewan Rakyat recently that the girl is living with her parents in Kota Kinabalu and that she is still married to Riduan, who is still serving his 12-year jail term. The girl had even visited Riduan at the Kepayan Jail, Kota Kinabalu, January this year. Rohani said this in a written response to Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching's queries on efforts made by the ministry to assist rape victims.  "We visited the girl at her family home on 18 April and she is in good health while the husband is serving time," Rohani was quoted as saying by The Star Online. She added that the ministry had provided counselling and advice to the victim to ensure her well-being.

According to Rohani, the 16-year-old has no intentions to go back to school and instead wants to go to work

The Batang Lupar MP said that the welfare officer who visited the victim in March 2014 said the girl did not want to go to school as she was ashamed by the wide media coverage on her case. "She is comfortable living with her parents and helps her mother to take care of the children of her siblings," Rohani said, adding that she was informed by the girl's parents that they had no problem in taking care of their children.  "She intends to work in the future so she could be self-sufficient."

Teo has responded by saying that Rohani's Parliamentary reply on the girl's case is sending the wrong message

Image via Teo Nie Ching

She was reported as saying that Rohani's written reply appears to suggest that child marriages were the solution in cases of statutory rape. Teo pointed out that she appreciated the Social Welfare Department's (JKM) efforts to visit the girl, however, she was worried over the girl's bleak future."Because she didn't continue her studies what type of job can she get for herself? It makes no sense for the marriage to take place in the first place.""I think it is very difficult for any girl to go back and study after getting married at a very young age," Teo was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today.

Rohani's reply also did not sit well with some Malaysians, who opined that the ministry should have done more to get the teen back in school

Quite a number of netizens also questioned what the future holds for the young girl, especially after her convicted rapist husband finishes serving time in jail

A Fresh Grad Is Warning Others Of An Elaborate Room Rental Scam In Bangsar South

UPDATE: iBilik.my Has Released A Set Of Guidelines For Users Following Recent Rental Scam

In a statement to SAYS, iBilik.my said it has initiated an internal investigation and lodged a police report on the "unfortunate incident"."The iBilik.my platform is intended for young adults making their first tentative steps into adulthood and it pains us greatly to see guests falling victim to fraudsters who pose as legitimate hosts," it said."As with many other online services designed to improve lives, there have been grievous betrayals of trust committed along the way – this most recent betrayal of a user’s trust has compelled us to explore additional measures to better authenticate hosts and make the task of finding a room to rent safer for all users."

As an interim measure, the platform has released a detailed set of guidelines for its users to refer to and said it has "been in active discussions with stakeholders to filter out unscrupulous hosts and produce a safer platform"

The guidelines can be found here."The function of iBilik.my as an online advertising platform, as well as our current terms of service, do not enable us to bear complete responsibility for the contents of listings posted by registered hosts – but we recognise our obligation to ensure the safety of our users," the statement read."Among the improvements we intend to implement include a mechanism where the first month's rent is held in trust until both parties are satisfied with each other."

Additionally, the online advertising platform advises its users to "practice the same level of due diligence that would be necessary in any transaction involving property"

iBilik.my provided a list of safety measures that should be taken, which are:1. Verify the identities of the host, property owner, or any other parties claiming to represent them before providing any payments.2. Be wary of being forced to interact with any lawyers or other “appointed representatives” of an absent property owner – only deal with the property owner or a licensed real estate agent.3. Do not tolerate any duress or harassment from hosts or their ostensible representatives.4. Do not pay any booking fees or any other charges into bank accounts belonging to any party other than the property owner.5. Pay to the real estate agency directly and not to an individual if possible.6. Do not give in to demands for further payments when requesting a refund.7. If a tax charge is included, ask for the tax registration number and check if the individual or company is a tax registrant.  8. Demand to meet the other tenants, as is your right as a prospective tenant.9. Treat a rental agreement as though it were a cash transaction – only pay once the key is delivered.

It was previously reported yesterday, 12 November, that fresh graduate Venoshini Sevelimgam had put up a warning to others about an elaborate room rental scam that she fell prey to

Image via Venoshini Sevalimgam/Facebook

In a Facebook post, Venoshini detailed how her experience of trying to find a place to rent went from difficult to downright horrible."Initially I was embarrassed to admit this. I felt stupid and genuinely just defeated because I thought this was the New Malaysia. What could go wrong, right?" she wrote in her post.

On 3 October, Venoshini found a listing on rental database iBilik.my and contacted the "owner"

A screenshot of the platform.
Image via iBilik.my

"I found this room ad on iBilik.my on the 3rd of October by a guy in his mid-30's named Azrol Azizi bin Ismail. I contacted this guy and he sounded genuine," wrote Venoshini.The unit was situated at KL Gateway Residences, Bangsar South."I used to read about this [sic] scams on the news and be like who's dumb enough to fall for this kind of stuff but I guess, even the best of us sometimes become blinded by words."

The modus operandi of these scammers is simple: they ask you to pay a "booking fee" on the pretext that the "owner" is outstation

"He preyed on female tenants and he asked me to pay a booking fee of RM225 on the pretext that he was outstation and would like to finalise the names of the first four tenants ASAP," she wrote."Throughout the time dealing with him, he would make me do small transactions to different accounts who he claimed to be his lawyer/wife and the management of KL Gateway Residences. To a point I got really sick and tired of him and said I wanted my money back.""That's when the nightmare started."

			He started blackmailing me saying that I would not get my refunds if I did not pay up. Stupid me should have cut my losses soon but chose to trust that he would give back my refund but he OBVIOUSLY DID NOT.
        Venoshini Sevalimgam

Speaking from her own "miserable experience", Venoshini also detailed six red flags to look out for to determine if a rental is a scam

These red flags include:- The "landlord/landlady" asking for a booking fee, no matter how small the amount.- The "landlord/landlady" refusing to give you their identification, instead giving you their "lawyers" identification. Keep insisting on proper identification and if they don't, then avoid them.- If they refuse to give you the other tenants' phone numbers at the very least, save yourself the trouble and ignore them.- If they tell you that they're going away abroad for three months and you get to stay rent free, don't believe it.- Don't make any transactions until you have met the person, seen the property, and verified that the property actually belongs to the said person.- If you've already made payments which they insist is refundable, and then they make you pay for more charges they claim to be tax - just cut your losses earlier on and leave.

Venoshini has since lodged a police report and was told that she was not the only victim

A photo of the police report that was made.

"It has been rampant at the same accommodation (KL Gateway Residences) on the same platform (iBilik.my) since the beginning of 2018 with expatriates and locals falling victim to schemes with similar modus operandi. Obviously I was enraged and livid. Like how has higher authorities not taken any action on this!" she wrote in the post.In a message to SAYS, Venoshini claimed that many cases of such scams are reported, but the police are unable to take action because these platforms "never collect legitimate documents from users when they sign up to use their service".One of Venoshini's friends shared about her own experience with a similar scammer:

Image via Venoshini Sevalimgam/Facebook

When she contacted iBilik.my about the incident, the service replied that they had "disabled the user account" and will launch an internal investigation into the matter

Image via Venoshini Sevalimgam (Provided)

She also questioned why it was so easy for hosts to sign up on their platform.In one message, she wrote "Why hasn't iBilik done anything to make it stricter and make users feel safe on its platform?"iBilik told her they are "upgrading the platform" in reply.

MBPJ Officer Won't Face Any Action Because Hitting Uncle With Catch Pole Was An Accident

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

The Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) said the officer who was seen in closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage roughing up a senior citizen will not face any action

In a statement yesterday, 11 April, the city council explained that the officer was not charged because the alleged assault against Patrick Khoo Kian Wui was an accident, reported Free Malaysia Today.Other than stating that the alleged attack was unintentional, MBPJ did not address how the officer managed to use the catch pole on Khoo's neck when the tool is normally used at a level closer to the ground due to dogs' height.

Image via Rekha Morgan (Facebook)

MBPJ said they referred the case to the police and also launched an internal investigation on the matter, which resulted in recommendations by the investigation committee to improve procedures for dog-catching operations.Officers will have to use body cameras and work with the police for higher-risk operations, according to New Straits Times."Low-risk operations will require the use of body cameras by staff involved. Images [of] the operation will be taken by senior staff. High-risk operations will be carried out together with the police," MBPJ said.MBPJ will also invite representatives from non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and residents' associations to observe their operations to ensure transparency.

The city council also reminded the public about the dangers stray dogs could pose to children.
They also emphasised that if left uncontrolled, stray dogs could cause public nuisance and hygiene problems.

"This issue cannot be shrugged off and it is necessary to address it immediately, especially by local authorities," they said."Besides wild cats, bats, and monkeys, wild dogs are the main carrier of rabies," it explained.MBPJ added that since February, they have conducted 12 dog-catching operations in Taman Kanagapuram following public complaints.39 stray dogs were caught in those operations.

Lihat bagaimana cara Dr Sheikh Muszaphar didik anak-anaknya dengan pelbagai aktiviti. Memang menarik sangat!

    Video - Sunday is ArtsCraft Day ! Tasha just loves painting and drawing . She’s a right-brain person which explains her being left handed . That’s make her unique as 10% of the world population are left handed . It’s important for me to make her use both hemispheres of the brain rather just one sided . We train her to be able to write on both hands , to do lots of Maths exercise and continue what she does best - sketching and painting . By covering both brain hemispheres she will have the advantage on skills in later life . If you have kids who are left handed do encourage them to be skillful using both hands . It’s certainly an advantage ... Let me know if you guys are a leftie too as that makes you special .... Good Morning Everyone ....  PS - Bella is a good artist herself . Not sure where the girls got the gift from as both parents can’t even draw a proper fish .... Love As Always ....

    Video - The girls just love horse riding  As long as they are happy , I will just follow the flow ... Good Night Everyone ... A post shared by  Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor (@drsheikhmuszaphar) on Mar 21, 2018 at 7:00am PDT

    Video - I love You Flights were delayed for 3 hours and I’m fully exhausted . The girls are still hyperactive and I’m half asleep . I always say I love you to the kids but Tasha always have difficulty saying it back . Hugging & Kisses is a good way to teach the children to love each other . Once they are grown up they will be too shy to do it . Love As Always ... PS - Tasha has lost her voice for talking too much today ...

Tidak susah pun bukan? Anak-anak adalah amanah yang dikurniakan, jadi tatanglah mereka ibarat minyak yang penuh. :)

It's Not On Top Of Your List, But Mumbai Is A Must-Go For The Adventurous Traveller

You probably already know that Mumbai is home to Bollywood and India's biggest stars

Image via Tenor

Everyone knows that the biggest Bollywood sets can be found in Mumbai, and that Shah Rukh Khan has a house (or palace) there. These places have become tourist attractions, being as popular as sites like the Gateway of India and the Victoria Terminus train station.

But that's not all there is in Mumbai. We bet you'll be surprised to know that you can find these there:

1. The world's oldest copy of Dante's 'Inferno'

Image via Facsimile Finder

'Inferno' is one of three parts of the 'Divine Comedy', written by Dante in the 14th century, and is one of the most important pieces of literature in the world.While the original does not exist anymore, there are two first edition copies left in the world - and one of them is kept in the Asiatic Society of Mumbai. Legend has it that the Italian dictator Mussolini offered to buy the book for £1 million back in the 1930s, but the Society rejected it.

2. The village where Coldplay shot their music video

Coldplay made a surprise visit to Worli Village in Mumbai back in 2016 to shoot the music video for 'Hymn For the Weekend'. The band even posted a photo on Instagram to thank the villagers for helping them with the video shoot.

Coldplay's 'Hymn For the Weekend' started with beautiful footage taken at the ruins of Fort Bassein, built in the 12th century by the local ruling family. Since then, the fort has been conquered by three different empires: the Portuguese, the Maratha, and finally the British.

4. The neighbourhood where the Tang monk from 'Journey To the West' stayed

If you grew up watching the TVB drama, 'Journey To the West', you'll know who we're talking about. The book was inspired by the journeys of Tang San Zang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty, who travelled from China to India to search for sacred Buddhist texts. In the year 640, Tang San Zang was in Mumbai and specifically wrote that he stayed in the Bassein area, now known as Vasai. A memorial hall was built for him at Bihar in 1984 by the Indian and Chinese governments to recognise his contributions.

5. Anthony Bourdain's favourite ice cream stall

The travel host and celebrity chef is apparently a big fan of the Taj Icecream stall in Mumbai. This popular ice cream stall has been in business for the past 125 years and is super popular among the locals and tourists as well.All of their ice cream are handmade using the freshest fruits of the day. They're so well made that you can actually find chunks of mangoes or strawberries in every scoop!

6. The world's most expensive private house

It's impossible for anyone to miss this building - it may not be the tallest building in Mumbai, but it's definitely the one with the most unique design. Named Antilia, it costs USD2 billion, has 27 floors, and requires 600 staff to maintain it.The building is owned by Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in India, who built this as a home for his family. The top four floors are living quarters, while other floors have pools, a spa, and enough parking space for 160 cars.

7. The mysterious caves that still confuse archeologists

Image via Memorable India

The Elephanta Caves is known for being a beautiful cave complex with many chambers of stone sculptures relating to Hinduism. Nobody knows for sure who built these caves - even archaeologists and historians still have not manage to figure this out. They also couldn't really determine when these were built due to the lack of historical records. Till this day, locals still believe that the caves were built by heroes from the Indian epic narrative, the Mahabharata.

8. A hipster art district

Situated in Downtown Mumbai is the colourful neighbourhood called Kala Ghoda, the city's art district. If you love Hosier Lane in Melbourne, you should definitely visit this place.The district also has its annual arts festival every first Saturday of February. Artists from all over the world flock to Mumbai for this nine-day festival to perform, set up their exhibitions, or sell their handmade crafts. Entrance is free for all.

9. A forgotten fountain with a touching story

Image via Kunal Tripathi

This unnamed fountain may look badly maintained and unimpressive, but the story behind its construction is anything but that. The fountain was built by a cotton merchant named Lowji Megji in memory of his late daughter, Kusumbala. Kusumbala was known to be a kind-hearted girl, always bringing water for her father's workers at the warehouse. Unfortunately, she passed away from an illness when she was just 13 years old, and was deeply mourned by her family and the workers. To pay tribute to his daughter, Mr. Megji built this fountain near his warehouse so his workers could continue to have fresh water to drink. There's even a plaque placed there by Mr. Megji that says: "This public gift of Mr. Lowji Megji, in loving memory of his late daughter Kusumbala." However, the fountain was forgotten after Mr. Megji passed away when his business was shut down. You can still see this fountain near Cotton Green train station.

What The Internet Got Wrong About The 'Removal' Of Palestine From Google Maps

Over the last few days, netizens have expressed their outrage after finding out that Google has apparently removed 'Palestine' from Google Maps

Image via Change.org

Multinational technology company Google has received flak as people from all over the world are protesting the fact that 'Palestine' is not in its mapping service, which is one of the world's largest sources of geographic data. Using hashtags like #PalestineIsHere and #BoycottGoogle, netizens voiced out their dissatisfaction and frustration, mounting pressure on Google to reinstate Palestine on Google Maps.

More than 250,000 people have signed an online petition calling for Google to put Palestine on the Maps

The Change.org petition was initiated by Zak Martin months ago but a mountain of signature only came in the last few days after it picked up serious momentum recently following an online statement by the Palestinian Journalists' Forum."The Forum of Palestinian Journalists condemns the crime carried out by Google in deleting the name of Palestine, and calls for Google to rescind its decision and apologise to the Palestinian people," reads part of the statement from the Forum of Palestinian Journalists, posted to its website on 3 August. "…The move is designed to falsify history, geography as well as the Palestinian people’s right to their homeland, and [is] a failed attempt to tamper with the memory of Palestinians and Arabs as well as the world."

Contrary to popular belief, Palestine has not been "removed" as it was never on Google Maps to begin with

Image via Adam Berry/AFP/Getty Images

Many have accused Google for deliberately removing Palestine from its Google Maps when in fact, it never happened.The Washington Post reported that a search for "Palestine" on Google Maps has never yielded any results."There has never been a 'Palestine' label on Google Maps," Elizabeth Davidoff, Google's communications manager, was quoted as saying by American digital publisher, The Daily Dot.

However, Google has admitted that the labels for 'West Bank' and 'Gaza Strip' have been removed due to a bug

Image via Why Israel

"We’re working quickly to bring these labels back to the area," Davidoff said.

Google's basemap data—which includes information like place names, borders, and road networks—comes from a combination of third-party providers and public sources. This helps Google produce a comprehensive map, but it also means the amount of data can vary from place to place. Google said it would be happy to study other potential data sources to determine if they're of good enough quality to bring to the map.

        dailydot.com

Why has the exclusion of Palestine from Google Maps caused such an uproar?

The Palestinian flag was raised at the UN headquarters for the first time last year.
Image via Andrew Kelly/Reuters

The longstanding territorial dispute between Palestine and Israel is perhaps one of the biggest geopolitical events in the world. The result of this is having two governments recognised partially by different nations around the world. As of September 2015, Malaysia is one of the 136 countries around the world that recognise the State of Palestine.Google may not have intentionally put a foot into tender issues of national identity with its geographic labelling, but critics have argued that as one of the world's top provider for geographic data, it is accountable to show how the world interprets states, nations, and our overall worldview, especially when Google Maps is "regarded as definitive by people around the world, including journalists, students and others carrying out research into the Israel-Palestine situation".

Should we be concerned about Google's geographic labelling? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below!

Woman Attacked After Saying RM12 Nasi Lemak Is 'Too Expensive'

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

A woman from Johor Bahru was allegedly attacked by the stall owner for complaining that the store's nasi lemak was too expensive

The dispute occurred over the weekend on 8 October, at approximately 11am, at a hawker centre located in Skudai, Johor Bahru.The sister of the customer, surnamed Huang (transliteration), told China Press reporters that she was visiting the hawker centre with her elder sister and three nephews when the incident occurred.According to Huang, her sister was complaining that the price of the nasi lemak she ordered was too expensive.The nasi lemak that the customer ordered was allegedly priced at RM12 but reports claimed that another customer had told the woman that patrons usually had to pay RM15, therefore the dish was considered 'cheap'. However, the woman still aired her displeasure at the price and refused to eat and pay for the nasi lemak as she felt that it was 'not worth it'.

Upon hearing the customer's gripes about her food, the stall owner became angry and confronted the woman

The woman, however, allegedly doubled down on her decision to not pay for the nasi lemak, which further enraged the stall owner.Things escalated when the owner threw the nasi lemak at the woman and her family and pushed the woman to the ground. The owner then reportedly rained blows onto the woman.Other diners had to step in and break up the fight between the women.Once the tussle was broken up, the owner of the stall allegedly came back to fight with the woman again, this time armed with a knife. However, her actions were quickly put to a halt by bystanders.

Huang was also doused with curry sauce during the altercation.

According to the manager of the hawker centre, the customer had allegedly attacked the stall owner as well

Reviewing the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, the owner of the store was indeed seen coming up to the customer and arguing with her, but was seen dumping the customer's nasi lemak on the ground instead.Because of this, the customer took a bowl of hot soup that was on the table and threw it at the owner in retaliation, and the fight escalated from there."Both sides are at fault and they have gone to the police station to assist in investigations," the manager said.He also confirmed that both parties will also be bearing the cost of each other's medical expenses as a form of resolution for the issue.

The head injuries the customer sustained after her fight with the stall owner.

The topic of nasi lemak continues to be a touchy subject for many Malaysians:

After trying out the nasi lemak in Singapore, she suggested flying back to Malaysia and never looking back.

Scientists Have Invented Shatterproof Screens For Smartphones

Smartphones are amazing. Until you accidentally drop them. And their screens shatter. And suddenly, they are not that amazing.

Image via ytimg.com

But thankfully, scientists from the University of Akron have discovered a solution to save these fragile screens of our amazing smartphones

Image via sciencealert.com.au

In their research published in the journal ACS Nano, lead researcher Yu Zhu, assistant professor of polymer science at University of Akron, and his team claim to have created a transparent electrode that could make phones shatterproof.

        geekosystem.com

They've developed transparent electrodes that, when layered on polymer surfaces, are just as transparent as current technology but much more durable

Image via imgur.com

Unlike current smartphone touch-screens which are coated with a brittle indium tin oxide, Zhu and co.'s solution would be more durable and more flexible than current options. At the same time, it would also be just as transparent and possibly more conductive, potentially making the surface even more responsive to finger-swipes.

        geekosystem.com

By coating a polymer surface with a transparent layer of electrodes, the team was able to dramatically improve surface toughness and flexibility.

        policymic.com

"In addition to state of art performance, the transparent electrodes also exhibit outstanding toughness," according to the study's abstract. "They can withstand repeated scotch tape peeling and various bending tests. The method for making the metal nanowire is scalable, and a touch screen on flexible substrate is demonstrated."

        uakron.edu

You can bend them over 1,000 times without breaking, and they also hold up against peeling. More importantly, the technology is cheap.

In fact, the university believes that it should be less expensive to make this film than the touchscreen tech in use today; you can simply mass-produce it in rolls. While there's no firm production timetable, scientists fully expect their technology to hit stores in the future.

        bgr.in

This should be good news for both the smartphone industry and smartphone buyers, a new, less expensive, stronger material to make each other happier

However, if you believe those who say companies purposely produce inferior products to keep you paying year after year, then the manufacturers may not be so pleased with Zhu's work. Either way, this is a welcome scientific advancement for the clumsier among us.

Malaysian Students Are Taking Drugs As Cheap As RM5 To Cope With Their Studies

RM5 for a pill. That's how much a person needs to get psychotropic drugs in Malaysia.

Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed recently revealed that many secondary school and university students in the country have turned to psychotropic drugs because they are cheaper than drugs such as cocaine, heroin, and ganja (marijuana).  "So, they turn to psychotropic drugs which are available for as low as RM5 each," he told reporters at the 43rd Peninsula Malaysia Penggawa Headman Union annual delegates conference yesterday, 8 October.  Psychotropic drugs refer to psychiatric medicines that alter chemical levels in the brain which impact mood and behaviour. Such drugs include Amphetamine Type Stimulant (ATS) and New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) types comprising of ecstasy, amphetamine and others.

What's more surprising is the fact that these students have resorted to taking these drugs to cope with their studies

Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed

"Normally, ATS drugs are used by secondary school and university students to prepare for their examination at the last minute. So, they take such drugs so that they can stick it out when cramming up on their revision," Nur Jazlan was quoted as saying in a Bernama report. He cited a data in 2015 that a total of 1,938 school students were found to be involved in taking drugs, an increase from 1,662 students in the previous year.Based on the data in 2015, 73% tested positive for ATS (Amphetamine Type Stimulants), 19.2% for cannabis, and 8% for other drugs. According to Nur Jazlan, some of the ATS drugs hot spots in the country included the low-cost housing areas in the Klang Valley, fishing villages in Kedah, Perlis and Kelantan, and the FELDA area in Pahang.

Nur Jazlan added that it is difficult to treat users who are addicted to these types of drugs compared to the ones addicted to cocaine, heroin, and ganja

The Malaysian Drug Prevention Association (Pemadam) chief said that there are serious effects and consequences on users who abuse these drugs as they could lead to brain damage.   "Seven weeks of drugs intake can damage the brain, while the recovery and rehabilitation process could take up to seven years," he was quoted as saying by Harian Metro.   He said that the Home Ministry is working with various entities such as the National Anti-Drugs Agency and Peninsula Malaysia Penggawa Headman's Union to tackle this drug problem that is on the rise. The Star Online also reported Nur Jazlan as saying that the ministry is working on training university students to become activists to educate their peers on the dangers of drugs usage. To encourage students to participate in this campaign, the ministry may provide them with incentives such as credit hours in their university.

Murder Suspect Who Covered Dead Baby In Salt Had To Be Carried To Court By 5 Policemen

A man who is believed to have murdered his eight-month-old son had to be dragged to court by five police officers

Harian Metro reported that on Wednesday, 14 October, the man was taken to Bachok Magistrate Court in order to obtain a remand order.

Image via Bernama

The suspect refused to leave the patrol car and said that he wanted to keep praying

He sat in the car for 10 minutes and recited verses from the Quran, Harian Metro reported. According to The Star, after several minutes of being persuaded by several policemen, an officer yanked him out of the vehicle.

Five other officers then picked the man up and carried him to the courtroom for the remand proceedings.

Earlier this week, police arrested the man and his wife after finding an infant's dead body hidden under a kitchen table in their home

Kelantan police chief DCP Shafien Mamat told Bernama that looking at the way the baby was murdered, police are not ruling out the possibility of the father being involved in deviant teachings.The man had previously claimed that he "heard an angel's voice" before committing the offence."Until now, the man has not said a word so we can't record his statement," Shafien said.

Police raided the suspect's home and found the victim's mother crying and traumatised. She has since been arrested to assist in investigations:

1. The disappointing loss of Nurul Izzah and Khairy Jamaluddin

In a shocking turn of events, Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Nurul Izzah Anwar lost her seat in Permatang Pauh, Penang, to PAS candidate Ustaz Muhammad Fawwaz. The two-time holder of the seat was dethroned by a narrow margin of 5,272 votes.Many were also devastated when Barisan Nasional's (BN) Sungai Buloh candidate, Khairy Jamaluddin failed to secure his member of parliament (MP) status. The BN candidate lost to Pakatan Harapan's (PH) Datuk R Ramanan by a mere 2,693 votes.The disappointment at the candidates' losses was overwhelming to say the least.

2. Perikatan Nasional's (PN) surprising rise in the ranks, coming up neck and neck against PH

While many Malaysians were expecting BN and PH to be fighting neck and neck against one another to reach 112 seats, PN surprised many by being the contender that gave PH a run for its seats.While BN only managed to gain 30 seats, PN was breathing down PH's neck during the vote tally, with the coalition managing to gain 73 seats whereas PH won 82 seats.

3. Going through thick and thin together despite having different political views

Malaysian citizens Ima and her husband voted for different parties in both GE14 and GE15, but that doesn't stop them from supporting one another.In her tweet which she gained a lot of support for, the vet said that it is their individual right to vote for who they want. The loving couple even proudly took a photo of themselves with their preferred party's flags together.

4. The unprecedent amount of voters who came out to cast their ballots and change the future of Malaysia

Whether you believe your vote mattered or not, Malaysia saw a 73% voter turnout this GE15. That's a whopping 3.42 million increase in voters since GE14. This means that about 15.4 million Malaysians practised their democratic duty and made their voices heard as to who they wanted to lead Malaysia.Many netizens sounded off their agreement that the voter turnout truly did turn the tides of the election results.

5. The party doesn't start without Abang Jo

With the GE15 vote tallying coming to an end, Malaysia is now faced with a hung parliament, it seems that the big three coalitions are gunning for Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg, colloquially referred to as Abang Jo, to have Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) with them as GPS won 22 seats in total. And this has many Malaysians worried as to who Abang Jo will merge GPS with. Will it be BN? PH? Or PN?Well, Abang Jo is currently considering merging GPS with PN, having met with PN chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang already.But most Malaysians have managed to make the situation more light-hearted with some memes.

6. Three words. No public holiday.

In their manifestos, all three main coalitions announced that they would be giving Malaysia a public holiday on Monday, 21 November, if they won the general election.Well, it now seems that there won't be a public holiday on Monday after all, as Istana Negara has called for party leaders to submit their candidates for prime minister by 2pm tomorrow, 21 November. Since the federal government has yet to be formed, there's no one to make the call now. So, sorry Malaysians. Guess we won't be having that public holiday that we were promised.Have some memes to ease your disappointment.
