"Saya Tak Curi Duit Rakyat," - Sindir Mat Sabu Pada Najib Yang Menggelarnya Menteri Kartun

Menteri Pertahanan Malaysia, Mohamad Sabu telah membidas DS Najib Razak yang menggelarnya Menteri 'kartun' dan 'joker'

Image via Biswardi Hasbi

DS Najib pada suatu acara kempen untuk Barisan Nasional di Sungai Kandis telah mempersoalkan kredibiliti Mohamad Sabu  yang lebih mesra dipanggil Mat Sabu di samping memanggilnya 'kartun'."Menteri Pertahanan pun kartun. Pakai beret pun macam kartun. Naik kapal perang cakap tentang kari ikan. "Anda adalah Menteri Pertahanan. Bercakap tentang dasar pertahanan negara, bukan tentang kari ikan. Ini bukan bahan Menteri Pertahanan. Ini joker," katanya.

Mat Sabu bagaimanapun membalas kenyataan bekas Perdana Menteri itu dengan sindiran ketika berkempen di Sungai Kandis bahawa dia mengajar memasak apabila melawat para kenamaan

"Saya bertemu dengan Setiausaha Pertahanan AS. Saya berbincang dengannya mengenai cara memasak sambal belacan," kata Presiden Parti AMANAH itu.

Image via Facebook Mohamad Sabu

Sindirannya itu bersambung apabila beliau berkata bahawa beliau telah membincangkan berkenaan kari kepala ikan dengan Menteri Luar Australia, Julie Bishop di Parlimen.“Hoi Najib, apalah hang ini b*doh sangat,” kata Mat Sabu ketika menyampaikan hujahnya sempena pilihan raya kecil Sungai Kandis malam tadi.“Dia kata [saya hanya] tahu masak, macam mana hendak jadi menteri pertahanan?“Saya tahu masak ka, tidak pandai memerintah ka, yang penting, saya tidak akan curi duit rakyat.”

DS Najib sebelum ini telah menyatakan bahawa Mat Sabu tidak layak memegang jawatan Menteri Pertahanan kerana asyik berbicara tentang isu makanan

Image via Berita Harian

Mat Sabu merupakan antara kumpulan menteri kanan pertama yang dinamakan oleh Perdana Menteri kini, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad selepas kemenangan Pakatan Harapan pada bulan Mei lalu.Beliau telah melanjutkan pengajian di Pulau Pinang sebelum menyambung pelajaran jurusan pemakanan di UiTM.

[SHARE] The Story Behind These Dubious Billboards Of 'Future Richest Man In The World'

Have You Seen These Billboards Of A Get-Rich-Quick Scheme On The Penang Bridge And In Kulai, Johor?

The Advertisement Promoting Multi-Level Marketing Company Called Yun Shu Mao Promises People Big Returns With Only A Small Investment Of RM300

The company’s ads on the Internet tell people that they can earn big money and drive fancy cars without having to work. It also boasts of creating millionaires around the world. By merely investing RM300, investors are guaranteed an income of between RM2,700 and RM6,800 per month – without lifting a finger.

        thestar.com.my

Victims are attracted to the scheme as it promised them luxury cars and cash within a short period. According to an ad placed by the company, a member has to pay RM300 to sign up. For every member he recruits, he will be paid RM50 per person until the sixth level. Beyond the sixth level, the member will have to top up his membership fee to a maximum of RM30,000 to continue enjoying the benefits.

        therakyatpost.com

Members are also promised stock returns through e-shares and luxury items, including BMW cars, through lucky draws when they reached a certain stage of recruitment.

        therakyatpost.com

However, The Ad May Not Be As It Seems. According To The Chinese Embassy, Yun Shu Mao Has Been Banned In China And Thus Moved Operations To Malaysia.

According To The Chinese Embassy, The MLM Company Has Been Banned In China And Thus Moved Operations To Malaysia.
Image via blogspot.com

The Chinese Embassy here says the company has been banned in China and its 26-year-old founder has been hauled up by police there five times. The man has now moved his operations to this part of the world, and his face has been appearing in giant billboards promoting his get-rich-quick scheme.

        thestar.com.my

A check on several Chinese websites showed that netizens in China have posted the excerpt of an article on the top 10 MLM cases from the websites of China’s Public Security Bureau and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, citing that the operator of a Yun Shu Mao website was coercing fees from downliners who would receive huge rewards in return.

        thestar.com.my

The article reported that Chinese authorities said the scheme had expanded to 28 provinces involving 190,000 people and that in August last year, police in eight provinces detained 33 persons involved in the scheme. Chinese laws prohibit any individual or company from carrying out multi-level marketing or pyramid schemes in the country.

        thestar.com.my

The Founder, 26-Year-Old Self-Proclaimed World's Future Richest Man Zhang Jian, Had Been Arrested By The Chinese Police Numerous Times For Cheating RM20 Million From 10,000 People.

Several blog postings have linked Zhang Jian as the world's future richest man, with the billboard in Penang also mentioning the same.
Image via netdna-cdn.com

The ad was put up by 26-year-old Chinese national Zhang Jian, who claimed to be China’s youngest self-made millionaire with his Yun Shu Mao business empire, which sells thousands of low-priced goods.

        therakyatpost.com

Zhang  reportedly earned the titles of “China’s Ten Most Influential Person Award’, “China Most Successful Entrepreneurs Award” and “The Future Richest Man”.

        therakyatpost.com

Zhang had also attracted controversy over his business dealings. It was reported in January this year that a get-rich-quick scam operated by a Chinese national in his mid 20s had cheated some RM20 million from 10,000 people in the country.

        therakyatpost.com

Furthermore, The Direct Selling Association Of Malaysia (DSAM) Has Confirmed That Yun Shu Mao  Is Not A Registered Member

DSAM president Frederick Ng said the company was not registered with them and they have no knowledge whatsoever of its business. The company, he added, has created a perception that it was a direct selling company but it is not a legitimate company in Multi-Level Marketing (MLM).

        thesundaily.my

According to DSAM president Frederick Ng, the complaints had been forwarded to the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry. “The information in the company’s website seems to give the impression that it was operating a multi-level marketing scheme. However, the company is not a registered member of DSAM,” said Ng.

        thestar.com.my

"After looking at the Yu Shu Mao website, we strongly believe that this company does not direct sell its product to earn its revenue," he said at a press conference here today which was also attended by MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong.

        thesundaily.my

Following Negative Reports About The Company And Zhang Jian, Members Of Yun Shu Mao  Had Rallied At The Office In Puchong And Warned Reporters Against Their Accusations

Reporters covering a function were cautioned that “something bad” could happen to them over their negative reports about a self-proclaimed “youngest self-made millionaire” from China.

        therakyatpost.com

A female worker of the Chinese national insinuated about the repercussions when approached by a journalist, alluding to members of a company operated by the businessman, Zhang Jian.

        therakyatpost.com

The function at Zhang Jian’s office at Setia Walk in Jalan Puchong this morning was held to protest accusations that his business was nothing more than a get-rich-quick scheme, according to a Facebook posting linked to him.

        therakyatpost.com

“Our members are good people, but we also have not-so-good ones among them who may be offended by the reports,” she said. About 200 of its members turned up this morning, although 1,500 people were initially expected.

        therakyatpost.com

Datuk Seri Micheal Chong Has Urged The Public To Conduct Their Own Due Diligence Before Committing To Any Get-Rick-Quick Schemes

At the same press conference yesterday, MCA’s Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong urged people to conduct their own due diligence. “It was reported that he (Zhang) is being investigated and on the radar of Chinese authorities,” said Chong, who also took to task certain quarters for using the Zhang controversy to tarnish MCA’s image by circulating photographs of Zhang taken together with some MCA leaders.

        thestar.com.my

For Now, The Seberang Prai Municipal Council (MPSP) Has Ordered The Billboards To Be Taken Down

A prominent billboard showing a businessman Zhang Jian from China, put up near the Penang Bridge toll plaza here, will be brought down following a police report and a complaint to the Seberang Prai Municipal Council (MPSP).

        thestar.com.my

MPSP councillor Michael Tan said the council received a complaint from the public who made a police report on the content of the billboard. “We served notice to the billboard owner on June 18 to bring it down. “The owner is supposed to bring down the billboard within 44 days from the date the notice was served,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

An officer from the MPSP Licensing Department, who wished to remain anonymous, said the advertisement must be removed as it had nothing to do with local Malaysian content.
“We also don’t allow listings and advertising of multi-level marketing programmes.”

[VIDEO] Rapid KL Jumps On 'Squid Game' Bandwagon To Promote Their MyRapid Cards

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.Disclaimer: This story may contain spoilers for the Squid Game series.

The Squid Game hype in Malaysia is strong.
So strong that even Rapid KL has jumped on the craze to promote their services.

On Wednesday, 29 September, the public transport operator shared a video they made based on a popular scene from the Netflix hit series on their Facebook page.The clip shows two men playing 'ddakji' — a South Korean children's game — at the Merdeka MRT station, taking turns to throw envelopes on the ground in an attempt to flip their opponent's envelope.As in the show, one of them was in casual clothes while the other was in a suit.

Image via Rapid KL (Facebook)

In Squid Game, the unnamed man in the suit — played by K-drama star Gong Yoo — challenges protagonist Seong Gi-Hun to beat him

The loser either has to pay KRW100,000 (RM350) or get slapped by the winner.Hilariously, Rapid KL also parodied the slapping (they promise it was fake and simply a good camera angle), and instead of handing over the money when his opponent finally wins a round, the man in the suit only gives him RM1.

Image via Rapid KL (Facebook)

In the Rapid KL video, the man in the suit then drops a card and leaves mysteriously

The other man picks up the card and sees that the MyRapid card is actually the ominous three-symbol Squid Game invitation."Are you still using tokens to ride the train? It's easier to use our card!" says the Rapid KL video caption.They hope to convince commuters to use their MyRapid smart cards, instead of tokens, when boarding their trains.

Image via Rapid KL (Facebook)

The video has garnered over 200,000 views, with netizens appreciating the skit and joking along

"I thought I could pay for my ticket with slaps. [Imagine] Dato Keramat station to Kelana Jaya: 15 slaps," said a Facebook user.

Image via Rapid KL (Facebook)

This netizen said, "Give RM100 lah. You already slap him but give only RM1. So poyo (obnoxious)."

Image via Rapid KL (Facebook)

Another laughed and said, "He only got RM1? Going to the next station will already be more than RM1."

BFM Sexual Harassment Case: Hannah Appeals For Privacy Of Those Named In The Letter

Hannah Yeoh yesterday, 6 December, took to her Twitter to appeal to the public discussing the sexual harassment allegations levelled against BFM 89.9 staff members in an anonymous email last week

The Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development urged people not to forward the said email as "there are many alleged names of affected victims too."

She was then reported saying that people should refrain from speculating the names of the alleged harassers as they have the right to a fair tribunal and privacy until the investigation is done

Malay Mail reported Hannah saying that circulating the email could have adverse effects on the lives of those implicated when they have yet to be found guilty as the tendency for this to happen is higher with high profile sexual harassment cases."Even if they have issued a statement, the damage will be done," Hannah said.She was speaking to reporters after opening a forum on sexual harassment organised by her Ministry and the United Nations Malaysia Team in Putrajaya."I have been getting emails from (Segambut) residents asking me what are we going to do about it. And I appeal to the people to stop doing that simply because there are a lot of alleged victims' names in there and based on our experience dealing with (such cases), it is very painful," Hannah was reported saying by Malay Mail today.

Meanwhile, BFM 89.9 has released another statement saying an independent investigating committee has been given a full mandate to investigate all of the allegations contained in the email

In the statement, BFM founder Malek Ali said that the committee would report directly to a board panel consisting of independent non-executive directors of BFM."Staff at BFM have been given direct access to the investigating committee, without any need to go through any management team members or supervisors," he said.The BFM founder and Managing Director assured of transparency in the company's approach to the allegations and seriousness in the way it is treating them.

The anonymous email alleging sexual harassment at BFM 89.9 was sent out to news outlet on 29 November. Read more here:

A Boy Was Punched, Kicked And Slapped While Others Watched And Laughed

A video of a boy beating up another student in a classroom in Malaysia went viral recently

Image via Free Malaysia Today

The 2:29-minute video clip started with a male pupil lying on the floor with chairs around him. As the boy got back on his feet, the bully who was looking at him the whole time, threw a few punches at him until he was back on the floor. The bully was seen punching, kicking, and slapping the victim several times, even going so far as to throwing a plastic chair at the victim. At one point, the bully also appeared to be choking the victim. The victim did not attempt to fight back.  The whole situation took place while other students watched, where some were heard cheering in the video. Apparently, no one came forward to help.

Many netizens said that the video is yet another example that bullying cases have been rampant in the country lately, questioning the whereabouts of teachers in situations like these

Image via Facebook

It is believed that the victim had triggered the bully after he harrassed and teased his schoolmate about his late father

According to Penampang district police chief Deputy Supt Rosley Hobden, the victim did not sustain any serious injury and said that there were no other motives in the attack.He also revealed that the two pupils involved are two 12-year-olds, who are currently sitting for their Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR).While the video only started to go viral on Monday, 5 September, the incident reportedly took place almost a week earlier. Supt Rosley said that the parents of the victim lodged a police report on Tuesday, 6 September, over the alleged bullying, which occurred at a religious school in Putatan, Sabah, on 30 August.The duo had been called by the police to give their statements.

Meanwhile, it was reported that the Ministry of Education is also investigating the case

Image via NST Online

"We may need to reevaluate the delivery and messaging if the violent cases continue to happen," Deputy Minister Datuk P. Kamalanathan told The Star yesterday, 6 September, adding that the ministry has a very clear and concise SOP in regards to bullying."Bullying of any kind is abhorred and the ministry will continue to keep the safety and well-being of students as a priority."

Last April, a similar video surfaced on social media, where an unidentified school bully repeatedly slapped a girl inside a classroom in Malaysia:

PDRM has been requested to investigate the case and bring the culprit to justice.

[REVIEW] I Tried Getting A Mani-Pedi For The First Time. Here's What I Thought About It

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post.

When it comes to getting beauty treatments, most guys in Malaysia still think it's a little out of the norm

While certain treatments like manicures and pedicures (mani-pedis), facials, and even eyebrow grooming are becoming increasingly common among men, many guys are still so malu to be seen getting them. It's completely ordinary for you to embrace beauty treatments, especially now that most guys are looking to take control of their personal appearance, boost their self-confidence, and simply invest in their overall wellbeing.

In conjunction with SAYS' Inclusive Beauty campaign, I decided to try getting a mani-pedi treatment for the first time

I'm a 25-year-old male, and the only beauty treatment I've ever tried is a facial — and that's because I had really bad breakouts.To say that I have little knowledge about mani-pedi treatments would be an understatement. Trust me, I didn't even know what a cuticle was. I also thought that manicurists are only supposed to cut your nails, paint them, and voilá, it's time to pay.So, without further ado, here's what went down:

The first step was choosing a nail salon, and I was told to check out Honest Hour, a newly opened nail parlour in TTDI, KL

I visited the outlet with two (female) colleagues in the afternoon. It's located right above Restoran Chong Thoong Kee, a famous restaurant known for kai si hor fun (Ipoh chicken hor fun). To be frank, when we reached the outlet, I was a little nervous as I didn't know what to expect. But I certainly wasn't gonna back out.

Stepping into Honest Hour is like stepping into a zen living space.
The place had woodsy colours and interior, soft and warm lighting, as well as plenty of sofas and cushions, exuding an inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home.

Image via SAYS

There were plenty of comfortable seating areas throughout their space for you to get your nails done. Whether you're looking for a quiet corner with natural lighting or a big couch to chill and chit-chat with your friends as you get your nails done, Honest Hour has something for everyone.Eka, the founder of Honest Hour, welcomed us with a nice cup of ginger, lemongrass, and clove tea, and told us to make ourselves comfortable. I told her it was my first time getting a mani-pedi, and she took the time to explain to me in detail what each treatment package offered.

Just me waiting for Anne, my manicurist, to prep her tools and equipment.
Image via SAYS

Here's a look at their treatment packages:

1. Express — 30 minutesManicure: RM33 Pedicure: RM38 An on-the-go dry treatment with the removal and application of nail polish, with minimal cuticle care included. 2. Classic — 50 minutesManicure: RM68Pedicure: RM78A sensory manicure or pedicure treatment that starts with a gentle exfoliation, followed by a soothing treatment. 3. Signature — 75 minutesManicure: RM103Pedicure: RM113This treatment includes everything on the menu, including a warm paraffin wax treatment, which is basically a type of moisturiser that helps to make your skin supple and soft.   4. Advanced Callus Treatment — 55 minutesPedicure: RM138On top of a pedicure treatment, this package will also help eliminate those extremely rough patches, calluses, and dead skin cells.

Image via SAYS

Eka told me that most men opt for the Advanced Callus Treatment, as they usually have very rough patches and calluses on their feet. But since my feet were not that rough, I considered trying either the Express or Classic treatment. After hearing Eka's recommendations, I decided to go for an Express manicure and a Classic pedicure, as she said an exfoliation would be good for my feet.

Here's a look at my fingernails and toenails before the treatment began:

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

I started with the Classic pedicure treatment. Anne, my manicurist, brought out a wooden basin filled with cucumber-infused water for my feet to soak in.

Image via SAYS

Soaking my feet in the basin was very relaxing. Anne also asked if I wanted to pour a few drops of essential oil into the water, and I wholeheartedly said yes. I'm a very curious person, so while my feet were soaking, I bombarded Anne with questions (sorry, Anne!), but she was very accommodating and more than happy to answer all of them. She even kept checking in during the procedure to make sure I was comfortable.After several minutes, Anne dried my feet with a warm towel, and began scrubbing the soles of my feet with a foot file. This was followed by a vigorous bunga raya scrub that reached every inch of my feet and in between my toes, before soaking and washing my feet in the basin again.

Image via SAYS

I told Anne to go with a round-shape nail cut for my toenails, and she began cutting them, removing my cuticles (the layer of skin at the end of your nail), scrubbing my toes with a pumice sponge, and then applying cuticle oil

Image via SAYS

During this process, Anne showed me the parlour's collection of nail polishes, and asked if I'd like to paint my nails. According to Eka, Honest Hour's nail polishes are vegan and 21-free, which essentially means they're free from harmful and toxic chemicals.

Image via SAYS

Honest Hour has nice pastel and woodsy nail polish colours, but I was uncomfortable with getting my nails painted, so I opted out of it. If you're more adventurous than me, what would basically happen is they would first apply a base coat, followed by your chosen nail polish colour, and then finish it off with a top coat. A base coat would prevent staining, while a top coat would protect and make the nail polish last longer.Although I didn't get my toenails painted, I still got a base and top coat to add a layer of protection, which gave them a shiny look.

While waiting for my toenails' coating to dry, Anne began with the Express manicure treatment, which is a very basic and quick treatment, great for those who are always on-the-go

Image via SAYS

The Express manicure treatment basically consists of nail cutting and coating as well as cuticle care — and that's it. I opted for a square-shaped nail cut this time, and to be frank, the cut made my hand look more feminine. So if you don't want that, opt for a round-shaped nail cut instead. I also opted out of getting nail polish for my fingernails, and went with just a base and top coating.Both of the treatments took over an hour, less than the said time, since I didn't opt for nail polish. Also, once Anne was done with my fingernails, she applied some moisturiser on my feet, which is part of the Classic treatment package.

By the end of the treatment, my fingernails and toenails looked good, fresh, and shiny. The best part? My feet were so smooth and soft — as smooth as a baby's butt!

Here's a look at them after the treatments:

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

The total bill came to RM111, which I thought was reasonable. But what's my verdict, you wonder? All in all, I enjoyed it!

It was a good and relaxing experience. And I don't see why everyone shouldn't get a mani-pedi. Having said that, I don't see myself purposely visiting a nail salon unless my feet are in need of a good pedicure treatment. To all the guys out there, it's fine if you don't want to get a manicure, though I think a pedicure treatment would be beneficial, especially if you engage in activities that strain your feet or if you want to address issues like calluses or ingrown toenails.And if you visit Honest Hour, I would recommend their Classic treatment over the Express treatment. It's more of a complete package.

McDonald's In Japan Has A Genius Idea Of Recycling Plastic Toys Into Serving Trays

On 15 November, several McDonald's outlets in Japan recently served its new "midori" trays, which are made from recycled plastic toys

Image via NHK World-Japan

The "midori" trays are the final product of a recycling campaign that was launched by McDonald's Japan earlier this year.

Back in February, McDonald's Japan launched the "Happy Ribbon" campaign where old plastic toys were collected for recycling

Throughout the campaign period, children (or their parents) could drop off old Happy Meal plastic toys in specially prepared donation boxes at selected McDonald's outlets.In return, children would get a green "happy ribbon" to wear and proudly show off that they have made a donation.

Image via LIMIA/Sirabee

McDonald's said a previous statement that the initiative was launched because, according to a survey it conducted, mothers wanted to practice recycling but didn't know how to go about it when it came to plastic toys.

The campaign was such a hit that the number of toys collected surpassed the initial goal of one million pieces

Image via HugKum

AFP BB News reported that a total of 1,270,000 plastic toys were collected, which were recycled into more than 100,000 "midori" trays.Additionally, McDonald's said that they will continue to implement the campaign again in the future.

You may not be able to turn toys into trays, but taking simple steps to curb plastic waste starts at home:


Kelantan Palace: Social Media Posts About Sultan Muhammad V's Private Life Are Defamatory

The Kelantan Palace yesterday released a statement slamming social media postings about His Royal Highness Sultan Muhammad V's private life, calling them inappropriate and defamatory

In the statement issued by the Kelantan Palace on Friday, 6 September, Comptroller of the Royal Household Nik Mohd Shafriman Nik Hassan said that the Palace decided to "deviate from the norm and respond to untrue and defamatory statements circulating on social media" to clear the confusion caused by them among the rakyat."The Kelantan Palace strongly denies all comments that are untrue and defamatory posted along with the pictures. The Palace would like to urge the rakyat not to be swayed by the dissemination of false and untrue information on social media."Only official statements from the Kelantan Palace and HRH Sultan Muhammad V's lawyers can be considered as accurate information and should be used as a point of reference for the rakyat and media practitioners," the Royal Household Comptroller said.

Image via The Borneo Post

The Royal Household Comptroller said the lies told on social media had deeply upset the Sultan and defamed the Kelantan royal family

"His Royal Highness Sultan Muhammad V, as the Kelantan Ruler, should not be associated with slander and the subject of lies on social media. These lies have defamed the Kelantan Sultanate and the Kelantan royal family," Nik Mohd said.

In the statement, Nik Mohd also said that Sultan Muhammad V has expressed regret and deep sadness over the personal choices made in his private life that caused confusion among Malaysians

			HRH Sultan of Kelantan also expresses his regret over the personal choices made in his private life that has caused confusion among Malaysians, leading to dissension on social media when fuelled with unreliable hearsay.

According to Nik Mohd, the spread of misleading rumours about the Sultan's private life has led to various disagreement in social media among his subjects."His Royal Highness hopes that the people would spare their time to pray for the health and well-being of His Royal Highness' ailing father, His Royal Highness Sultan Ismail Petra, whom he loves dearly. May Allah bless the people of Kelantan and Malaysia."

The statement from the Sultan Palace comes days after the Kelantan Sultan's ex-wife shared details on her Instagram account, hinting she is ready to tell all about their brief marriage:

                Kelantan Sultan's Ex-Wife Hints That She's Ready To Tell The Truth About Their Marriage

Malaysian Couple's Tiny Container Home Has A Spiral Staircase & 'Submarine' Windows

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

Shipping container homes are common in many countries due to their cost-effectiveness compared to conventional homes.
But they're rarely seen in Malaysia.

By designing and building one from scratch, this couple has proven that it is possible to stay in a container home, even if you live near the equator.

Inspired by tiny houses and container homes on the Internet, Zaizul Azri Mohamad Mahayudin and his wife Hamizah Baharuddin re-created their own 'industrial' version in Meru, Klang

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Rumah Sederhana (@kotak_teduh)

Zaizul, who's a full-time primary school teacher in Shah Alam and a part-time photographer, shares with SAYS that they always wanted a Scandinavian home concept, but construction costs were too exorbitant for them. Instead, the couple decided to go for a minimalistic home using shipping containers.

After hiring container contractors in Port Klang, they began the construction process in 2017, and it's been an ongoing process for them, as they've been using their savings gradually.He shares that finances were one of their main challenges because they had chosen to avoid taking any housing loans and were depending on savings from their photography business, along with some help from family members.

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Rumah Sederhana (@kotak_teduh)

There were also difficulties during the transportation and installation process due to the narrow space of land. Plus, managing short-and-long-term effects on weather sustainability.But despite the setbacks, the couple has been able to make the space their own!

Calling it 'Kotak Teduh' or 'Rumah Sederhana', the 900sqft home may be small but it has a living hall, master bedroom, workstation (which doubles as a second bedroom), kitchen, and two toilets

It also has a balcony, which they use as a space to chill at, and a spiral staircase that connects the living room to the workstation. On top of that, Zaizul adds that they set up a hutan kecil (mini garden) that is managed by Hamizah, who is also a full-time photographer and editor of their photography company, Tied The Knot Photograph.

Despite the common belief that container homes attract heat, Zaizul explains that it's actually not as hot as expected

"There are various methods that can be made to reduce heat as well as humidity. What we did was just install an exhaust fan and an air conditioner. But we rarely use the air conditioner."We just switch on the fan and exhaust fan."

Image via @kotak_teduh (Instagram)

"In addition, we also plant a lot of trees to balance the nature of the hard container and also to get oxygen and reduce heat," he explains, adding that if people have more budget, they can install insulators."We did not install the wall like shiplap, fluted, etc because we wanted to maintain the character of the container itself. So far, there are no more major issues related to extreme heat and humidity."

It cost them roughly RM120,000, excluding the exterior and interior home appliances and cost of land.

Some of the items were DIY-ed by the couple themselves, such as the sliding door that was made with a collapsible grille they'd found in a used wood and metal shop

"At first we wanted to buy the grille but the shop owner gave it to us for free because it was rusty and damaged. We took it home and remodelled the fence and made the finishing touches."

They made one of the lighting structures and a little fish pond with an aluminium basin, and used recycled materials for the door, table, racks, and more.He shares all of the details around the house that they both love, including two round windows that were installed to look like a submarine.

Image via @kotak_teduh (Instagram)

The uniqueness is the character of the container house itself, Zaizul says, adding that the house was built with privacy in mind and inspired by a similar home they'd seen in Perth, Australia.After spotting a metal deck on the construction site, he says that they were inspired to combine metal and concrete elements for the fence. "It may be strange in Malaysia to use a metal deck as a fence because it's usually used as a roof, but we love it."

Aside from living a minimal life, Zaizul's one piece of advice at the end of the day is: "Do whatever that makes you happy."Regardless of whether it's perfect or not, he shares that it's their home, a place where they can recharge and be creative.

China Finally Bans Trading And Consumption Of Exotic Wildlife Amidst COVID-19 Crisis

China has banned the buying, selling, and eating of wild animals after the practice was linked to the COVID-19 epidemic that has spread across the world

According to official state-run XinHua News, China's legislature has immediately prohibited the trading and consumption of wildlife on Monday, 24 February, to prevent future spread of zoonotic diseases jumping from animals to people.Business Insider reported that the new coronavirus disease, which has killed almost 2,700 people in China alone, is suspected to have been transmitted to humans by pigs, civets, or pangolins sold at the Huanan Wholesale Market in Wuhan.

A legislative spokesman said the decision to ban China's wildlife farming industry, valued at USD74 billion (RM312 billion), was both urgent and necessary

"There has been a growing concern among people over the consumption of wild animals and the hidden dangers it brings to public health security since the novel coronavirus disease outbreak," said Zhang Tiewei of China's Legislative Affairs Commission, in an interview with Reuters.Zhang added that the decision came at a "critical moment for the epidemic prevention and control".

The fast-tracked decision stipulates that the illegal consumption and trade of wildlife will be "severely punished"

According to The Star, much of China's wildlife trade was already illegal. However, the practice persisted due to loopholes in the country's Wildlife Protection Law, inconsistencies with the exact species banned, and that enforcement was lax and episodic.After the rapid outbreak of COVID-19 across the country, China ordered a temporary ban of trading and transportation of wild animals in markets, restaurants, and online marketplaces, but only until the coronavirus epidemic ends.The ban announced this week is permanent.

"It's a big step in wildlife protection," said a member of an enrivornment protection group

"Finally there is a complete ban on eating and the trade in wild animals," said Zhou Haixiang of the Chinese National Committee for Man and Biosphere, as quoted by South China Morning Post."The current law only protects limited species of wildlife, but the ban forbids eating in a general sense, not only animals living in the wild, but also the ones in the breeding industry," Zhou explained.XinHua News reported that the use of wild animals for non-edible purposes, including scientific research and medical use, shall also be subject to strict examination and approval.

You Can Soon Pay For Public Transport And Highway Tolls Using Debit Or Credit Cards

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

Transport Minister Anthony Loke recently announced commuters can look forward to using debit or credit cards to pay for public transport

On 20 March, Loke said that he has instructed public transportation agencies and operators such as Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (the operator for Rapid KL) and KTM Berhad to adopt an open payment system, as reported by Malay Mail.What this means is that commuters can soon use alternative contactless payments like debit and credit cards to pay for fares, in addition to the current default Touch 'n Go card."Bus and train riders can soon pay using any type of debit or credit card. This implementation will take some time as operators need to integrate the system, but they are working on it," he said.

Loke estimated a timeframe of several months to implement this payment system

For the system to work, all train stations, as well as buses, are required to have a stable Internet connection to authenticate card payments, according to tech platform SoyaCincau.Back in 2020, Rapid KL and PayNet had already started running trials of MyDebit card payments at selected LRT stations, but it was never fully implemented.Currently, the KLIA Express and KLIA Transit ERL are the only rail services in the Klang Valley that support contactless card payments.

As for toll payments, Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said that five highways would start accepting debit and credit cards by September 2023

Here's a look at the five highways that will soon accept debit and credit card payments:- Sungai Besi Expressway- New Pantai Expressway- Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway- Guthrie Corridor Expressway- Penang BridgeIf successful, more highways may implement this open payment system — Nanta said the system would be assessed in October."From the beginning of this year, we have been talking with the highway concessionaires on the steps towards the implementation of an open payment system."The implementation of this system is among the early initiatives for a switch to the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF), which is underway," he said, as reported by The Star.MLFF, if implemented, will see the removal of boom barriers and a non-stop toll collection system at toll plazas, which is estimated to take place in phases by Q3 of 2024.

This Malaysian's "Oreo Rice" Went Viral On Twitter And It's Grossing People Out

Malaysians are no stranger to weird food combinations.
From Maggi Kari with Milo and sambal mooncake to nasi lemak gelato and Milo durian cheese drinks, we've made some bold and bizarre choices when it comes to food.

Image via Facebook

Which brings us to this Malaysian's favourite concoction.
27-year-old graphic designer Wahyu Ilahi's tweet recently sent a wave of disgust across Twitter because - get this - it involves mixing Oreos into rice. OREOS. Into RICE.

Image via Twitter @WahyuYordan

At the time of writing, the tweet has garnered 9,900 likes and retweeted over 4,700 times, with many expressing their disgust over the "nasty" concoction

Image via Twitter

Image via Twitter

Image via Twitter

There were, however, a select few who wouldn't say no to trying it out as it's basically "rice pudding"

Image via Twitter

Image via Twitter

Image via Twitter

Wahyu is hardly the first person to come up with the Oreo and rice concoction. In fact, the photos he posted came from a 2015 tweet by Twitter user @mdamndn, who also shared a Buzzfeed recipe for Oreo Rice.

Ramai dok tanya aku. Kenapa aku buat? Aku ok ke tak ok? Baik makan pulut je? Tak kesian ke dgn oreo tu? Hello pulis? Actually 4 tahun lepas aku dapat inspirasi untuk buat dari video ini. https://t.co/uCYcWYiONp— amie (@mdamndn) March 22, 2019

The history of Oreo Rice itself dates back to 2012, when Japanese portal SoraNews24 created the bizarre concoction to celebrate the cookie's 100th birthday.

Would you wanna try Oreo rice? Let us know in the comments section below.


This 7-Day Expedition Into The Heart Of Nepal Will Change Your Life Forever

If you've always wanted to go on an epic, once-in-a-lifetime journey where no one has gone, this trip to Nepal could be yours to conquer

Image via SCPR

Primatologist and UN Messenger of Peace Dr. Jane Goodall has been studying the life and behaviour of wild chimpanzees for 55 years. Her passion for environment and animal conservation led her to establish the global NGO called Jane Goodall Institute to improve the conservation of great apes and help safeguard the planet. She also founded the Roots & Shoots to extend the environmental, conservation and humanitarian initiatives to preschools and universities.

Through the Wild Karnali Expedition, the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) Nepal team wishes you to play a vital role in conserving Nepal whilst discovering its immaculate wilderness no tourists get to see

If you have been meaning to devote your time on learning how you could contribute towards the preservation and conservation of the environment, this is the right and crucial time to do so — because if not now, when?Let us walk you through the itinerary and mildly nudge you why you must not miss this trip of a lifetime.

Day 1 | Kathmandu

Image via Cloudfront

Yes, the 2015 earthquake didn't kill the city and its soul still endures today. From the world's largest Buddhist stupa called Bouddhanath through Kathmandu's ancient temples, vibrant markets and colorful people, we wouldn't be surprised if the capital of Nepal is in everyone's bucket list.Itinerary: You will tour around the city's temples and bustling markets then sample the famous Newari cuisine for dinner at a 17th century restored palace.

Day 2 | Lumbini

If Muslims have Mecca and Christians have Jerusalem, Buddhists' centre of pilgrimage is the holy garden Lumbini where Siddharta Gautama (the Buddha) was born in 632 B.C. The word Lumbini literally means the lovely in sanskrit. Lumbini is included in BBC Travel's '10 Sites of Religious Pilgrimage’ along with the other must-visit pilgrimage destinations like the Golden Temple (Amritsar), Mecca (Saudi Arabia), Shrine of the Bab (Israel), Vatican City (Rome), Wailing Wall (Jerusalem) among others.Itinerary: You will visit the exact site where Buddha was born, at the Maya Devi Temple, and you will stay overnight in a monastery-guesthouse before heading to Wild Kamali by luxury coach.

Day 3 | Tiger Tops, Vulture Conservation

Image via Johnny Fenn

Journey through Nepal's dramatic landscape of canyons, rivers and hills in the west and try spotting the 400+ bird species in the region!Itinerary: You'll stay at the Tiger Tops resort located in deep wilderness then have your lunch at a "vulture restaurant" where villagers dispose safe carcasses for the endangered vultures to reverse the taboo (that they are associated with disease and death) and encourage the community to preserve the species. The "Vulture Conservation" case study will be based on the data that between the years 1995 and 2011, there has been a 91% decline of vultures in Nepal. The team will discuss the rest with you in depth.At sunset, you will sit with the team by the riverbank and watch the elephants return from their day's work in the jungle—a magical sight and the perfect way to relax into Kamali life.

Day 4 | Dalla, Human-Elephant Conflict

A staycation in Dalla is something to look forward to! Hear the occasional rampaging elephant, clumsy rhinoceros, or hungry tiger and experience the slow and peaceful life in the unspoiled village of Tharu.Itinerary: Since more than 40% of reported incidents of human-wildlife conflict involve elephants (between 2010 and 2014 elephants caused 65 human deaths), you will help on extending the solar fences of the residents which they use to deter wild elephants from entering the village. Solar fencing is one of the seven measures the village is doing commutatively:

Afterwards, the children will take you to a jungle food foraging expedition followed by a Tharu cookery workshop! When the sun starts to set, you will gather around the bonfire with the village people as they share stories about the legends of the past, especially the story of Raj Gaj—the biggest elephant to have ever lived, accompanied by traditional Tharu singing and dancing with drums, shouting, and lighting fires!

Day 5 | Karnali River, Responsible Fishing

Image via Rafting Expeditions

On the fifth day, you'll transfer to long canoes dug-out of magnolia trees, gently drift through the subtropical jungle (without disturbing the animals) and fully experience the rich biodiversity of Nepal where you might spot bears, Bengal tigers, elephants, leopards, martins and Ganges river dolphins.Itinerary: You will be observing the daily recording of the local fishermen's fish catch. The data collected from fishing enables fishermen to monitor the seasonal prevalence of species and local catching practices. You will also keep an eye for the critically-endangered gharial (fish-eating crocodile) while enjoying a picnic lunch by the river shores. After lunch, you'll visit the remaining 293 black bucks in Nepal and learn about the issues of habitat fragmentation, disease from livestock and inbreeding.

On the sixth day, you'll visit the off-beaten track safari of the Bardia National Park, the largest, untouched area of lowland Nepal where a plethora of wildlife live. Bardia is famous for its wild elephants, sloths, deers and rhinos.Itinerary: Upon visiting the park, you will discuss your case study "Karnali Ecozone" wherein the government plans to build Nepal's largest hydro-electric dam which could greatly cause irreversible damages to the ecology of Karnali region.

The Karnali is Nepal's longest river and is famous for its turquoise colour that originates from the sacred Mount Kaliash through the gorges of Himalayas. Nepal’s most diverse aquatic life flourishes in the Karnali river systems including the Himalayan trout, giant catfish, golden masher and the Ganges river dolphin.The people living along the Karnali banks are dependent on marine environment ergo strengthens the need to advocate tourism initiatives and science education while implementing conservation-related activities for the community.

The aim of the study is to ensure the dolphins' long-term protection and habitat in Nepal. By morning, you shouldn't miss the sunrise as it pours its golden glory on the tips of Himalayas, blanketing them in pink and orange hues leaving you in awe.
