Non-Muslim Donates To A Surau Every Ramadan In Exchange For Prayers For Her Late Brother

A non-Muslim woman's Ramadan tradition inspired by her late brother is warming hearts all over the Internet

Facebook user Rizal Imran shared about the woman in a post on 22 May, which has garnered over 1,200 shares at the time of writing."I'm so impressed with Aci," the netizen wrote, referring to his neighbour, Vijayalechumy Shamugam.

He explained that Aci visits a surau in Ulu Klang every year during Ramadan, with donations in hand

Rizal revealed in an interview with mStar that she comes to the surau with bags of fruits and cordial drinks for Muslims to break their fast with before praying.

Since Aci's late brother was a Muslim convert, she pays the congregation at the surau every Ramadan to read tahlil for him

"Regardless of religion, this is how she shows her love for her younger brother," he added in the post.According to mStar, Aci's brother Abdul Rahman Abdullah passed away a few years ago. His wife passed away not long after.Since then, Aci has been asking the congregation at the surau to make prayers for the couple.

"I do it because I loved my brother so much. We were very close. I miss him even more every Ramadan and Hari Raya," Aci said in the interview

She added that two of her four children are Muslim converts."For me it doesn’t matter what religion they practise as long as they believe and are sincere," the 54-year-old said.

Netizens praised Aci for respecting her brother's faith and continuously making an effort to ensure that he and his wife are prayed for

The joys of Ramadan are not exclusive to Muslims. Read about how people of all faiths have shown respect during the fasting month:

MH370: What You Should Know About China's Mistake Of Releasing Debris Images

On Wednesday Night, 13 March 2014, China Released Grainy Images Taken From A Chinese Satellite That Showed Possible Debris From The Missing MH370

The Three Large Floating Objects Sparked New Theories And Sent Ships And Aircraft Scurrying To The Location

When Malaysia Deployed Their Military Assets In Search Of The Suspected Debris, They Found Nothing

“There is nothing,” Malaysia’s civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman told reporters in Kuala Lumpur after planes were sent to scour the area. “We went there, there is nothing,” he said, deflating the latest tantalizing lead in the six-day hunt.

        nationalpost.com

Almost 24 Hours Later, The Images Were Completely Dismissed By Malaysian Leaders, Saying That The  Chinese Embassy Said "The Images Were Released By Mistake"

×

Hishamuddin Hussein, Malaysia’s defence minister and acting transport minister, said that an aircraft from the country’s coastguard was sent to investigate potential debris shown on Chinese satellite images on Thursday morning. “We deployed our assets but found nothing,” he said.

        ft.com

Adding to days of apparently false leads and U-turns on information, Mr Hishamuddin then read out a statement from the Chinese ambassador to Malaysia saying the satellite images had been released “by accident”.

        cnn.com

So, What Really Happened? The Washington Post's William Wan Writes:

Given China's criticism of the Malaysia-led investigation, there was an element of schadenfreude (feeling of joy or pleasure when one sees another fail or suffer misfortune) in the reaction to China's admission of a mistake.

        washingtonpost.com

A map showing search zones
Image via ft.com

To many, however, it was unclear what the mistake was – whether the photos had been discounted but were released anyway or whether they didn't show the objects they purported to.

        washingtonpost.com

Trying To Decipher The Meaning, Wan Further Dwells: "Deepening The Mystery Is The Fact That The Images Were Taken Sunday But Not Posted Online Until Late Wednesday"

They were released on the Web site of a relatively unknown Chinese agency called the State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and went unnoticed by many for several hours. Chinese officials have explained neither why the satellite photos were posted so long after they were taken nor their poor quality.

        washingtonpost.com

Wan Suspects That The Motive Behind Releasing The Images May Have Been China's Eagerness To Present A Proactive Image Of Its Search Efforts To Its Citizens

One reason the images may have been published despite lack of confirmation is China's eagerness to present a proactive image of its search efforts to its citizens. Since Sunday, the government has released a steady stream of propaganda-like news and images through its state-controlled media.

        washingtonpost.com

Image via mod.gov.cn

On Wednesday, for example, its military released images of Chinese search ships with a headline saying they had found life jackets and oil drums. After a period of brief excitement online, the defense ministry said the life jackets were determined to have come from a ship rather than an airplane.

        washingtonpost.com

The Chinese navy warship Jinggangshan prepares to leave Zhanjiang Port early on March 9 to assist in search-and-rescue operations for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight. The Jinggangshan, an amphibious landing ship, is loaded with lifesaving equipment, underwater detection devices and supplies of oil, water and food.
Image via turner.com

Wan, Citing One Chinese Satellite Researcher Of The Government-Affiliated Think Tank, 'Chinese Academy Of Sciences', Further Explains:

China has made itself visible in the search in part in reaction to criticism from its citizens that their government hasn't done enough to protect citizens abroad – and because out of the 239 passengers on board the plane, 154 were from China or Taiwan.

        washingtonpost.com

As for the mysterious satellite photos that went bust, one Chinese satellite researcher involved in the effort said it was hard to verify or get more information about the three objects because of the limited number of images available from Chinese satellites.

        washingtonpost.com

The three mystery objects were identified on images captured at 11 a.m. March 9, but Chi Tianhe, who works at the government-affiliated think tank Chinese Academy of Sciences, said researchers have not had access to earlier images from that same site.

        washingtonpost.com

Most Chinese satellites were pointed at the area in question only after the plane vanished, and images are limited to set intervals during which satellites passed over that area, Chi said. Other countries, however, may have captured images of other areas from other times, he said. NASA and the U.S. government in particular, he pointed out, have considerable satellite assets to draw on.

        washingtonpost.com

Citing Another Researcher Involved In The Chinese Effort, Wan Writes That There Has Been Competition And Pressure Between Two Main Groups Working To Find The First Sign Of Debris

There are two main groups involved in the Chinese effort, he said. The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, where Chi works, has been helping analyze satellite images.

        washingtonpost.com

The photos of the three unknown objects were captured by the second group: the government’s China Center for Resource Satellite Data and Application (CRESDA). Another researcher involved in the effort said there has been competition and pressure between the two group to find the first sign of debris.

        washingtonpost.com

Wan Writes That On Tuesday, A Full Day Before The Satellite Images Were Released, CRESDA Posted A Short Explanation Of Its Work In Support Of The Search

Image via imgur.com

The center said the quality of images it had received so far were “pretty good,” which raises questions about why exactly the photos released Wednesday night were so grainy. China hasn't explained the poor quality of those images, but it could be related to guardedness about revealing the extent of defense capabilities.

        washingtonpost.com

In the Tuesday statement, CRESDA said it began tapping eight satellites March 8, the day after the plane disappeared, and had received a large amount of data and images that were being inspected. Those inspections appear to have led to Wednesday night’s release of the satellite images of possible debris at the coordinates 105.63 E, 6.7 N.

        washingtonpost.com

Even In This Blunder, Many Chinese Remained Defensive

“Why does Malaysia Airlines have to disparage China’s satellite data?” asked one user on the Chinese version of Twitter.
“Press conferences by Malaysia Airlines do only one thing, that is, deny everything,” harrumphed another.

        washingtonpost.com

Other comments suggest that the satellite blunder wouldn't do much to blunt their week-long criticism of Malaysia’s handling.
“Up until now, it seems that Malaysia has only confirmed one thing: MH370 flight is missing!”

A PDRM Officer In PJ Allegedly Raped 2 Women He Stopped At An MCO Roadblock

On Friday night, 10 April, two women were stopped at a roadblock in place to enforce the Movement Control Order (MCO) in Petaling Jaya

A Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) officer, with the rank of inspector, asked for their documents.The two women, identified as Mongolian nationals, were then arrested for failing to explain why they were out and not carrying valid travel documents, according to a report in Malaysiakini today, 12 April."After the women were arrested, the inspector volunteered to take them to the police station. However, instead of taking them to the lock-up, he brought them to a hotel," the portal reported.Malay Mail reported Petaling Jaya Police chief Assistant Commissioner (ACP) Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal, who corroborated the incident to reporters during a press conference today, saying that the inspector took advantage of the situation and forcefully took them to a nearby hotel where he allegedly raped them.

ACP Nik Ezanee revealed that the officer kept the two women in the boutique hotel room against their will for more than 24 hours

The two victims were eventually rescued by a police team at around 9.30pm Saturday, 11 April.The ACP said that they received information about the two women through a tip, following which a team led by his deputy, superintendent Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood, began investigating the case at once."We conducted an operation due to the sensitive nature of the case. We needed to conduct surveillance as our main priority was ensuring the two women were in no further danger," he was quoted as saying.Police conducted two raids in PJ including one at the hotel where two women were rescued.

The 30-year-old suspect was arrested from a separate location and has since been remanded for five days to facilitate investigations

"The case is being investigated under Section 376(3) of the Penal Code for rape," he said.According to ACP Nik Ezanee, the PDRM may also bring up more charges against the suspect as the case may also be possibly investigated for kidnap and extortion."Right now, there are elements of rape. We are also looking at other charges as well. The victims have no valid travel documents. There are possibilities that the women are involved in the illicit sex trade but I want to make it clear that, in this case, they are the victims," Malay Mail reported the ACP as saying.He emphasised on the fact that even if the women were involved in vice activities, it does not make them any less the victims given that they were being held against their will at the hotel."We will also be seeking an interim protection order from the court for the two victims, who are now under the custody of our D11 sexual crime unit," Free Malaysia Today reported him as saying.

Meanwhile, the ACP expressed his disappointment over the case

			I am deeply saddened and disappointed over this case.

"The policeman was acting in his own capacity and we will ensure stern action is taken using all available laws. We are confident that we can conclude our investigations soon," he said.


3 Things We Miss The Most About Going Cuti-Cuti In South Korea

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Korea Tourism Organization Malaysia.

Ahhh, South Korea... we miss you sooooo much! T__T

Image via @kto_malaysia (Instagram)

With the current situation, it's been a while since we've been able to travel overseas, and South Korea is definitely one of the countries that we miss the most.It is a country that provides endless attractions for all visiting tourists to enjoy. From Hallyu and famous landmarks to fashion and lots of yummy food, South Korea turns your imagination to reality. Diverse, vibrant, creative, and intriguing, it's undoubtedly one of the top travel destinations for Malaysians!While we can't go cuti-cuti in South Korea just yet, we can still reminisce about how awesome going on holiday there is, and about all the exciting things we rindu doing there.

Jom, let's take a walk down memory lane with these top three things we miss the most about South Korea:

1. Feasting on all the delicious street food, mmmm!

Located at the heart of Seoul city, Namdaemun Market is home to backstreets such as Kalguksu Alley and Galchijorim Alley, which are filled with restaurants that serve delicious traditional food.
Image via @visitseoul_official (Instagram)

No trip to South Korea is complete without food, food, and MORE food! Of course, we always make sure to get our fill of KBBQ, kimchi jiggae (kimchi stew), japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), bibimbap (mixed rice with toppings), and other iconic Korean dishes at restaurants.But what we super miss more than anything else is all the glorious street food, omggg getting hungry just thinking about it!There's nothing quite like strolling along the streets of Myeong-dong or through a market as you sample all the food on offer — tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cakes), mandu (dumplings), kimbap (rice rolls), odeng (fish cake), gyeranppang (egg bread), bungeoppang (fish-shaped pastries), and soooo much more. Take us back!

2. Dressing up in hanbok and visiting popular attractions

There are various hanbok rental places where you can rent gorgeous, saeguk-worthy hanboks, complete with accessories and an accompanying hairdo. Then, head over to traditional spots like Jeonju Hanok Village to take Insta-worthy photos.
Image via Gowri Chitra

Visiting popular attractions around South Korea is already such a wonderful experience, but doing it while dressed up in hanbok just makes it extra special, kan? Whether it's Jeonju Hanok Village or Gyeongbokgung Palace, donning a gorgeous hanbok always elevated the experience and made us feel like royalty while exploring interesting Korean sites.Plus, we used to end up with lots of Insta-worthy photos to post online too, hehe! Kesian our feeds, no cantik Korea photos for so long dy, huhu.

3. Living out all our Hallyu (Korean wave) fantasies by attending our favourite K-pop idols' concerts, recreating iconic scenes at K-drama filming locations, and more, wheeeee! :D

One of the most iconic scenes in hit K-drama 'Goblin' was filmed at Jumunjin Breakwater. If you watched the drama, you definitely know which scene was filmed here, hehe ;)
Image via @annyeongaisyasya (Instagram)

Man, K-fans definitely super miss doing these things :( Being able to watch your favourite idols perform right in front of you or seeing where your favourite K-dramas were filmed are like the ultimate fan experiences.Remember how awesome going to Jumunjin is, guys? Located in the northeastern Gangneung City, K-fans flock to this town 'cause it's home to two super popular spots — Jumunjin Beach and Jumunjin Breakwater.

The BTS Bus Stop at Jumunjin Beach is an absolute must-visit for ARMYs! <3
Image via @imminus_loh (Instagram)

The former is where the famous BTS Bus Stop is located, at which photos from the group's You Never Walk Alone album were taken and scenes from their Spring Day music video were filmed. As for the latter, it's where a super iconic scene from the hit K-drama Goblin was filmed!Ahhh, such fond memories of trying to imitate BTS' poses and recreate the scene of Eun-tak and Kim Shin meeting for the first time. <3

Man, we seriously can't wait for the day when we're able to travel to South Korea again!

Knowing how much everyone misses going to South Korea, Korea Tourism Organization Malaysia (KTO Malaysia) recently hosted a fun K-uiz show, in which Malaysians got to test their knowledge on Korean travel and cultural facts

Image via KTO Malaysia (Provided to SAYS)

The online preliminary rounds took place from 19 May to 4 July, while the semi-finals and finals recently concluded on 18 September. Throughout the competition, K-lovers battled it out to see who would come out on top by having the most knowledge about everything Korean.The best part? The grand prize winner won a trip to South Korea* to participate in 'Quiz on Korea' there, wahhhhh, so best! :D*Due to COVID-19, the trip to Korea will only be carried out when international travel is permitted. This also depends on when the K-uiz show in Korea will commence. In the event where overseas travel is not permissible at the time of the travel date, the winner will receive a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 as the Grand Prize instead.

Watch the highlights video below to see what went down during the contest:

Through this event, Malaysians who love South Korea were able to rediscover the country all over again <3

Though we aren't able to visit South Korea just yet, The K-uiz Show was definitely a fun way for Malaysians to virtually experience the places they love and miss. Be it K-wave, K-place, K-food, K-spirit, or K-style, the participants were able to delve into their interests as they answered the quiz questions and chatted with fellow enthusiasts.Thank you, KTO Malaysia, for giving Malaysians a way to "travel" while still staying safe at home. :)

In a series of photos believed to have been posted by an AirAsia staff member, luggage handlers at KLIA2 were shown hugging and smooching various suitcases in a bid to apologise for their past mistakes

25-Year-Old Starts NGO To Help Refugees And The Underprivileged Get Medical Treatment

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

It's easy to forget the privilege many of us have when it comes to receiving medical aid

Not everyone has the financial stability, let alone the ability, to simply walk into a clinic or hospital whenever they're sick.Doctors on Ground (DnG), a medical non-profit organisation, seeks to bridge the gap that many marginalised communities in Malaysia face with medical care.

Image via Doctors on Ground (Provided to SAYS)

The brainchild of the organisation is Arissa Jemaima, a 25-year-old student who is passionate about public health and human rights

As a student of international relations and international law, Arissa would often volunteer with NGOs around Malaysia."Most of the time, these projects were all on a touch-and-go basis: you send aid once with no intention or plan to follow-up on the assistance. Where is the element of sustainability and transparency in that?" she lamented, which inspired her to start her own organisation.

Image via Doctors on Ground (Provided to SAYS)

DnG is made up of a diverse team of medical and non-medical volunteers, who are both professionals and full-time students

Working alongside Arissa is chief medical officer Dr Jeevitha Brama Kumar and DnG's primary medical officer Dr Aravind Giri, who frontlines the medical missions mobilised by DnG. Since its inception in April 2021, DnG has organised over 50 healthcare and community-based projects across Peninsula Malaysia and Borneo, and over 3,000 families have benefitted from its aid.

Image via Doctors on Ground (Provided to SAYS)

Due to the pandemic, DnG initially began with home consultations and community clinics in Selayang.The aim was to help Rohingya and Myanmar-Muslim families who often have difficulty accessing and financing their healthcare, especially those who suffer from chronic illnesses that require long term follow-up and medication supplies. With the help of ordinary Malaysians and other generous funders, the non-profit organisation was able to carry out its missions, procure medications, and even pay for hospital bills for those requiring urgent healthcare.

Since its launch, the organisation has gained a tremendous amount of support, from specialists and medical doctors to medical students alike

"What sets us apart from others is our element of sustainability. We do not delve into one-off projects for the sake of publicity, but rather stay for the long haul. That means going down to the ground on a regular basis and doing the hard work, like following-up on chronic and complicated cases," Jeevitha shared.

Image via Doctors on Ground (Provided to SAYS)

Having worked with different communities across Malaysia in the past three years, one recent incident really stood out for Arissa

"The first community that I ever interacted with was a Rohingya and Myanmar-Muslim one in Selayang. There, I worked very closely with a group of women, who were refugees, and were engaged with the leadership programmes that were being run by my NGO at that time," she shared with SAYS."One woman, in particular, has experienced a lot of hardship in the past month: her husband is incarcerated and her children are forced to stop school. Yet, two weeks ago, she submitted a case of a recently migrated family from Arakan, [Myanmar] needing UNHCR registration. While this fell under her responsibility as a case worker, we've put a pause considering her current situation. "I told her that I'd follow-up on the case, and asked her to take it slow — she's also dealing with some serious medical concerns. Her only reply was 'Cikgu tolong kita, kita tolong orang lain.' (She's referred to me as 'Cikgu' since the first time we met.)"Arissa explained that it's things like these that really make it all truly worth it.

Image via Doctors on Ground (Provided to SAYS)

In the long run, she hopes that DnG is able to become financially sustainable, so they can start accommodating other needs like hiring and paying skilled staff to run its operations, mobilising more aid to communities, and establishing physical care centres in their rural locations. This would also allow the team to look into developing research and data systems to help formulate better policies for government and NGO bodies alike.

At the moment, DnG is run with the help of Malaysians

Image via Doctors on Ground (Provided to SAYS)

"[Since] the beginning, a majority of our campaigns and patient projects have been financed by the average follower who'd donate a range of RM10 to RM200 whenever we called for aid. "When they interact with us, whether through social media or in-person, it allows us to expand our cause to different industries. One of the best engagements is when someone refers us to a networking or grant opportunity that they were able to connect to within their own personal networks. By opening that circle up to us, it gives DnG the ability to operate on a stronger support system."To find out more about Doctors on Ground, follow them on social media: Facebook and Instagram.

While in Dewan Rakyat, he said that the COVID-19 pandemic has been described as the worst economic crisis since the 1930s' Great Depression and it has upended the economies in over 150 countries.

However, the minister assured that it is the government's main priority to protect the lives of the rakyat. Therefore, this year, the budget is focused on three things: the rakyat's well-being, business continuity, and economic resilience.

The total amount allocated for Budget 2021 is the largest in history with a value of RM322.5 billion.

Here are the highlights of #Budget2021 and how it affects you:

16. Underprivileged families will get cash aid of up to RM200 per child

Financial assistance for children will be increased from RM100 per child with a maximum of RM450 per family, to RM150 per child aged seven years to 18 years, or RM200 per child aged six years and below with a maximum of RM1,000 per family.Tengku Zafrul elaborated, "For example, if Puan Safiah has three children, with two of them below the age of six years, and a disabled husband who works, her family will receive monthly assistance of RM1,000 per month."

BSH or BPR recipients and micro enterprises with loans of up to RM150,000 will be given several different options. They can choose to opt for a moratorium on their instalments for a period of three months or reduce their monthly repayment by 50% for a period of six months.Eligible borrowers will only need to contact their banks to choose the options and complete the documentation.Meanwhile, for the M40 borrowers, application for the repayment assistance will be simplified. In order to secure the repayment assistance, borrowers would only need to make a self-declaration of the reduction in income.The facility for the B40 and M40 will commence in December 2020.

Man Claims He Got A 'Saman' For Using Sunshades. Here's What The Cops Have To Say

A man took to social media to express his anger for being issued a summon yesterday, 6 September

Image via Facebook

In the incident that happened yesterday afternoon, he alleged that he was stopped by a police officer, who then issued a summons to him for putting up sunshades on his car windows. He included two photos in the post, one of which showed the summons slip that stated the offence committed was "putting something on the window" (tampal sesuatu pada cermin) while the other was a photo a sunshade on the car window.

Image via Facebook

The man included a dialogue with the police officer in the post, in which he claimed that he is "anti-corruption" after the police officer allegedly asked him, "So, apa macam boss?" (So how, boss?)

Image via Facebook

The post has gone viral, receiving more than 10,000 shares at the time of writing.
The police have responded to the viral post by issuing an official statement today, 7 September.

Image via Polis Selangor/Facebook

In the statement issued by Serdang District Police chief ACP Megat Mohd Aminuddin Megat Alias, which was shared on Polis Selangor Facebook page, the authorities said that they were aware that the man's post has gone viral on social media and took the chance to point out what really happened.  According to the police, the man was driving a Toyota Hilux and the vehicle was stopped during an operation yesterday afternoon at Jalan Serdang Perdana due to its tinted windows.The police said in the statement that a summons was issued by the traffic officer under Section 4(B) PU(A) 039/91 of the Motor Vehicle Rules (Prohibition on Specific Types of Glass).According to a post published on Friends Of PDRM's blog today, 7 September, the 'tampal sesuatu pada cermin' offence is specified under the Motor Vehicle Rules (Prohibition on Specific Types of Glass) 1991 PU(A) 39/91 - 004(B) which states that the use of curtains, venetian blinds, or other material fitted in a motor vehicle to shield the interior of the motor vehicle is not allowed.

Additionally, the police said that the image of the sunshades on the car window is a photo that was taken from Google and it is not the actual photo of the man's vehicle

Image via Polis Selangor

A photo of the man's driving license with what appears to be a tinted window in the background was also shared in the Polis Selangor Facebook post. This is apparently the same image that can be seen at the bottom of the summons slip that was shared by the man earlier.

Image via Polis Selangor

The police also said in the statement that they viewed the complaint seriously and will launch investigations against anyone who spread the viral post because "the act is purposely done to undermine the image and credibility of PDRM (Royal Malaysia Police)".The public was reminded that action can be taken against those who distribute false information under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588) and Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948. The authorities also advised the public not to disseminate or share false information because such irresponsible acts can affect public order.

Meanwhile, the man has denied allegations that he had used a photo taken from Google's search results

Image via Raymond Lee/Facebook

The man said in new Facebook post that was published today, 7 September, that the photo of the sunshade on a window was indeed his own.  In the post, he shared a photo that shows a hand holding up a summons with a sunshade on the window in the background.

So is it illegal to put sunshades on your car window?

Although "curtains, venetian blinds, and other materials" are prohibited in a motor vehicle under Rule 4(1) of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Certain Types of Glass) Rules 1991, it appears that driver and passengers could use sunshades to shield themselves from the glare and heat of the sun.  This was revealed by Road Transport Department (JPJ) deputy director-general Datuk Yusoff Ayob, who was the then Selangor JPJ director, a few years ago."Motorists are allowed to use sunshades or place towels on car windows to block out the sun. This is allowed because sunshades and towels are not permanent and can be removed when needed. Stickers and curtains are permanent and they reduce the driver's view," he was quoted as saying in a report by The Star in 2012.

Kon'nichiwa again, Japan!

Calling all Malaysians who've missed visiting the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan is opening its borders to all Malaysians starting 10 June 2022!According to the Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO), Malaysians will no longer be required to do on-arrival PCR tests, and quarantine once landing in Japan.

For the first time in over two years, inbound tourism for Japan is set to resume in days

Reviewing their requirements of on-arrival COVID-19 tests and home quarantine period upon entry to Japan, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare classified countries into three zones: red zone, yellow zone, and blue zone.In a statement on 27 May, the Kuala Lumpur office of JNTO noted, "For visitors from countries in the 'blue' list, which includes Malaysia, PCR test on arrival and quarantines will no longer be conducted from 1 June onwards."Carrying on, the organisation noted that the number of entries in Japan will be increased from 10,000 to 20,000 starting on 1 June 2022.

Nonetheless, Malaysians will be required to pass the pre-departure PCR test, to be taken up to 72 hours before their departure to Japan, regardless of possession of a vaccination certificate, as according to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

An important factor to note is that travellers will only be allowed in Japan through tour groups

Japan is set to allow visitors from the United States, France, Spain, Canada, UK, and Malaysia among others.According to the President of JNTO, Satoshi Seino, "JNTO is working with local government agencies and DMOs in Japan, as well as domestic and foreign affairs agencies, airlines, and other organisations to prepare for the resumption of inbound travel."Promising to expand on their efforts with more information on tourism, Seino continued, "...We plan to roll out promotions in consideration of Japan's policy on accepting inbound tourists to Japan."

His left arm was broken, too," related the district police chief.He said the deceased's body was sent to the Jasin Hospital Forensic Unit for post-mortem.The woman said she and the deceased first met 17 years ago in 2005, but they went separate ways and married their new partners."In 2017, the deceased divorced his wife before rekindling his relationship with the woman despite knowing she was married," Mispani added."They were having an affair without the husband's knowledge."

The dUCk Group, a branch under local clothing line Fashion Valet, recently introduced these vital metal clips priced at RM10 for a packet of 50 pins

They come in three colours: silver, gold, and black.

According to an Instagram post by the Malaysian store, these pins were "highly requested" by their customers, who are also known as dUCkies. So much so, that the company announced that they sold out their first batch of black pins and needed to replenish their stock.

Despite the popular demand, some netizens have not have been very impressed by this "expensive marketing scheme", saying that the pins can be bought at the pasar malam for a fraction of the price...

Well, if you do the math, they actually come up to 20 cents a piece which sounds like a less painful cost to bear

... and at least they come in pretty packaging.

Guess where there is demand, there will be supply

Choose Your Right Size With Durex's New Icons So You Can Rock That Bed All Night Long

Let's get real. How comfortable are you talking about sex?

Admittedly, sex remains a taboo and sensitive topic among Malaysians, which shouldn't be the case at all! Come on, gais, it's time to stop being such prudes, okay?

Image via @jcomp (Freepik)

Talking about sex openly is important, because that's how we can educate ourselves on the topic. It's especially important to learn about safe sex so we can protect ourselves from sexually-transmitted diseases and infections as well as avoid accidents.

In support of the brand's global philosophy – "Challenge The Norms", Durex has launched their new campaign tagline, "When It Fits Right, It Feels Right"!
This way, we get to form a society that's more open to talking about sex, or more specifically... condoms. ;)

Y'all, a condom is so much more than just a wrap for your shaft, you know. You can't just go buying any random one to use just 'cause you're rushing to get it on. Using a condom that fits snugly not only helps to prevent STIs and accidents, but also makes getting busy between the sheets more enjoyable. ;)If you're looking for the right condom to spice things up with your partner, Durex has a wide range of options for you to choose from such as ribbed, flavoured, tight fits, and even extra-lubricated ones! But... how to decide which one to get lah?

Don't worry! Durex now has icons on their condom packs that let you find a condom that fits you juuuussst right.

Image via Durex (Provided to SAYS)

That's right! Taking condom navigation to the next level, you're bound to find the perfect sheath to wrap it before you tap it. ;) Everyone likes different things in bed, kan? Durex's new icons will help you understand which condom you truly need for that maximum pleasure. You can finally find the best condom to get your bed rocking all night, bow chika wow wowwwwww, hehe! You can also rest assured that with 90 years of manufacturing experience in the industry, Durex ensures that their products perform well and exceed global quality standards.

Here are the deets on their new icons:

1. How WideNot sure which size to get to wrap your tool? From regular to large, find your right size by looking for the right icon.

2. How SmoothLove it extra smooth so that things will move cepat sikit? Select your preferred lubrication to find your desired texture.

Image via Durex (Provided to SAYS)

3. How ThinFrom thin to thick, choose your preferred thickness based on how sensitive you want it to be. ;)

Image via Durex (Provided to SAYS)

Durex also prepared a chart, so you can understand which condom shields your rocket the best ;)

Image via Durex (Provided to SAYS)

Durex has a wide range of condoms for you to choose from, each pack suited for different needs. Remember, when it fits right, it feels right. It's essential to find the best fit to ensure the condom not only gives you extra pleasure, but is also effective in preventing STIs and accidents!

Plus, Durex's navigation tool on Shopee can also help you find your perfect fit by answering a few simple questions. Senang je!

"I Rindu My Students The Most" - Pahang Teacher Shares What It's Like To Teach On DidikTV

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.This Spotlight is sponsored by the Ministry of Education (MOE).

DidikTV, an education-based channel, officially launched earlier this week. It provides educational content for both primary and secondary school, and aims to help students learn better from home.

Image via ntv7MALAYSIA Official (YouTube)

Airing from 7am to midnight daily, DidikTV is an initiative by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to help improve home-based teaching and learning (PdPR). Besides daily classes on various subjects, the special channel will also feature edutainment, content produced by students, and more.Only the top teachers, who are experienced in their respective fields, are handpicked to be part of DidikTV. The programmes also feature creative learning methods to keep students engaged.

To find out what it's like to be a teacher on DidikTV, we spoke to Cikgu Juraiti binti Mokhtar, fondly known as Cikgu Jue

Cikgu Jue (in dark blue) with her students
Image via Cikgu Jue (Facebook)

Hailing from Kampung Chempaka Lanchang in Pahang, Cikgu Jue has 11 years of teaching experience, specialising in Pendidikan Seni Visual (PSV). She has come a long way, from being a head of department in school, to a National Head Trainer of PSV – one of the highest ranks for PSV teachers in Malaysia.After working in Johor and Negeri Sembilan, Cikgu Jue recently moved back to her hometown in 2020 and now teaches in SMK Lanchang, Pahang.

"I was super excited when I got called up to be a presenter on DidikTV! But, it was a totally new experience for me, teaching in front of a crew and studio cameras."

"I got a call to audition with the Bahagian Pembangunan Kurikulum, because they saw the teaching videos on my YouTube channel. They put me in together with a group of other potential PSV teachers, and alhamdulillah I was chosen to be one of the presenters!" shared Cikgu Jue."I felt my heart racing right before the live broadcast, because it's really not easy to teach in a studio with only virtual students. The pressure is immense, and we can't afford to make mistakes on screen.""Nevertheless, it's been fun teaching on DidikTV. I've been able to learn about camera angles, interacting with hosts, and maintaining good facial expressions on screen. Most importantly, this experience has made me confident to be in front of the camera."

Cikgu Jue says that teaching on TV is very different from teaching in person, and a lot of preparation needs to be done beforehand

"When you teach live on TV, you need to have very detailed preparation, and plan what you want to say beforehand. That's why I draw a storyboard of my lesson and make sure I have my teaching materials ready. Besides that, I also look to other teacher friends for feedback and help whenever necessary," said the 36-year-old teacher.

"Ultimately, I feel like DidikTV has brought a positive impact to my school and kampung, because I was able to show how even a kampung girl like me could succeed and make it!"

"I've gotten a lot of positive feedback about DidikTV from both my students and fellow colleagues. The channel helps students to do revision at home, especially those who are lesser fortunate and without Internet access. It also allows students to broaden their knowledge – they can learn from their teachers in school, and gain another perspective from DidikTV teachers at home," said Cikgu Jue.

The one thing that Cikgu Jue misses the most about teaching physically in school is her students and all their funny antics

"I definitely miss the vibrant classroom environment, where we can share stories, draw, and paint while listening to music, and laugh out loud together. I also miss our Art Appreciation sessions, where we critic each other and display the best artwork from students," shares Cikgu Jue."I rindu my students the most, and all their funny antics. I remember once, I asked them to draw a fish according to an example I gave, but they ended up with hilarious designs instead. Some drew fish with scary faces, some drew fish with lipstick, and one even drew a fish that kering macam nak mati. Oh, COVID cepatlah pergi!!"

To help students with drawing tips and tutorials, Cikgu Jue even has her own YouTube channel

Cikgu Jue's YouTube channel has over 100 videos, teaching students how to draw objects like ants and crabs, as well as giving tips on how to answer exam questions.

Have You Been Pronouncing These Food Names Wrongly? Oh, YES, You Have!

This highly nutritious berry, native to tropical regions of Central and South America, recently gained popularity as a “superfood.”

This word deserves all the butchering it gets just for the obnoxious way it was spelled. Both ah-SI-ee and ah-SAH-ee are correct.
Image via hellawella.com

There is no “niece” sound in the pronunciation of this licorice-flavored plant, which also produces seeds that are used in cooking. Star anise comes from a different plant, but the second word is pronounced the same way.

Not “a niece.”
Image via buzzfed.com

A Vietnamese sandwich often made with pork on a baguette-style roll.

Don’t beat yourself up for this one. How were you supposed to pronounce a word that ended in “nh” anyway? The best MOST OF US can do is BON-me, and yes, the emphasis is on the first syllable.
Image via hellawella.com

A word used for sausages in different cultures, including Cajun, Creole, French and German.

Not boo-DEEN or boo-DON.
Image via hellawella.com

A French seafood stew.

Now say it three times fast.
Image via buzzfed.com

Can refer to any broth or to the cubes or granules made from dehydrated broth.

Easy enough.
Image via hellawella.com

There’s no “brush” sound in the name of this Italian dish of grilled bread with toppings.

You might get away with ordering broo-SHET-uh here in the states, but don’t even think about saying it in Italy.
Image via buzzfed.com

This isn’t about that silent “t.” The beginning of the word is the problem, since many people say BUFF-ay instead of BOO-fay.

Image via hellawella.com

The “ah” sound is important. It is not [KAR-mehl].

To that stubborn group of people still saying CAR-mel, we are begging you: LET. IT. GO. It’s KEHR-ah-mehl or KAR-ah-mehl. Three syllables. And there are four syllables in caramelize.
Image via hellawella.com

The emphasis can also be placed on the last syllable when pronouncing this French word that refers to a variety of deli-style meats.

A collection of meats; sausage, ham, cold cuts. etc…
Image via buzzfed.com

This word, which is the name of a chili pepper and a popular restaurant chain, is often mispronounced by people who transpose the ‘T’ and the ‘L’ sounds. It is not [chi-POLT-ay].

Apparently there are people out there who say “chi-POL-tay.” If you’re one of them, kindly correct yourself or step out of the burrito line.
Image via hellawella.com

A very fine brandy.

Image via buzzfed.com

A classic French dish of chicken and vegetables cooked in red wine.

Please don’t attempt to order “cock” at that nice French bistro you’ve been wanting to try — even though that is technically what you’re ordering (i.e., rooster).
Image via hellawella.com

If you can't roll a French "r", the best bet is to substitute a "w". If you say "cwa-son", that'll be close enough.

Unless you’re French, you probably say cruh-SAHNT. If you want to pretend you’re French, say CWA-sohn. But we will judge you a little.
Image via hellawella.com

A fancy word for raw vegetables often served with dip.

No one correctly pronounces this French word for raw veggies with dip on their first try.
Image via hellawella.com

There is no “ex” in “espresso.”

FOR THE LAST TIME, THERE IS NO “X.”
Image via buzzfed.com

Whether you’re morally opposed to this fattened goose liver or not, this is how you say the word.

You’re not likely to find this one on the menu in California anyway, but it’s FWAH-GRAH, not foy grass.
Image via hellawella.com

Italian potato dumplings.

Just say no to saying NO-chee.
Image via buzzfed.com

This clarified butter used in your nearby mamak cuisine is not pronounced with a ‘J’ sound. It’s pronounced like “glee” without the “L.”

Like that show you “don’t like” that has a bunch of high school kids singing popular songs, only without the “L.”
Image via hellawella.com

The “mole” does not sound like an underground varmint.

People get heated about this one.
Image via hellawella.com

That’s the Greek pronunciation, but it’s also OK to say [JEER-oh]. Just don’t pronounce it like “hero” or put a “guy” in the first syllable.

We’ll allow YEER-oh or JEER-oh, but if you say GUY-roh, we’re going to eat your YEER-oh in retaliation.
Image via buzzfed.com

It’s also OK to pronounce the ‘H’ at the beginning when talking about this chili pepper.

If you really want to get finicky, you shouldn’t pronounce the “h" in habanero.
Image via hellawella.com

A root vegetable with crisp white flesh.

Pronounce the “j” like an “h.”
Image via buzzfed.com

If you’re talking about a chewy cookie made with almonds or coconut, it’s [mack-uh-ROON]. If you’re talking about the fancy French meringue sandwich cookie, it can also be pronounced [mack-uh-RON].

This is more of a common spelling error than a pronunciation blunder.
Image via hellawella.com

A Greek layered dish with eggplant and ground meat.

You’ve probably been placing the emphasis on the second syllable, but it’s actually on the third.
Image via hellawella.com

A New Orleans specialty, a sandwich with sliced meat and an olive relish. Some incorrectly pronounce the first syllable “muff.”

If you can’t say it right, you don’t deserve it.
Image via hellawella.com

A type of French olive and a type of salad that contains olives, tuna, green beans and other goodies.

Now you can confidently order your nee-SWAHZ salad.
Image via buzzfed.com

A Spanish dish with rice and a variety of meats, such as sausage, chicken, ham, and seafood.

Image via buzzfed.com

A Vietnamese noodle dish. Many pronounce this to rhyme with “go.” Yo, no, it’s not [foe].

This Vietnamese noodle dish does not rhyme with “yo.” It should sound like the beginning of a certain four-letter word.
Image via hellawella.com

Italian for “ham” and a type of ham.

The best kind of shahr-KOO-tuhr-ee.
Image via buzzfed.com

The pronunciation of this grain’s name is a puzzler, but there is no “kwin” sound.

Impossible to figure out on your own.
Image via hellawella.com

Gordon Ramsay might look snooty as hell saying ree-SOT-toe on “MasterChef,” but he’s right.

While the rest of us barbarians are going around saying ree-ZOH-toe, Ramsay knows not to use a “z” or long O sound in the second syllable.
Image via hellawella.com

Ah, it's okay, we thought it was SAH-kee too...

Technically it’s SAH-kay if you want to pronounce it like they do in Japan.
Image via hellawella.com
