Landlord Wins Netizens' Praise For Waiving Mak Cik's Rental Fee During The MCO

With the Movement Control Order (MCO) being extended and now lasting for a month, many out-of-work Malaysians are starting to feel the pinch

In light of this, many Malaysians have started practising generosity and kindness to help others in need. Among them is this landlord who decided to waive the monthly rental fee for a mak cik and her husband during the MCO.

In a now-viral post on Wednesday, 25 March, netizen Siti Shabariya Sahlan shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation between her husband and her mother-in-law's landlord

In it, the landlord - only known as Eng - told Siti's husband that he does not have to pay the rental of his house next month."Adik, you do not have to pay for the rental for April next month because all of us are struggling to make money due to the COVID-19 outbreak," Eng texted. "Use the rental money to help your family instead. Send my regards to your father too. Salam."

Upon receiving the message, Siti's husband quickly thanked Eng for the special arrangement

"Thank you so much, encik," Siti's husband responded."Even though we do not share the same religion, but you have always been kind to our family. Thank you so much again." To which Eng replied, "You are welcome. We have to always help each other. Take care."Siti's husband then wished Eng good luck and great fortune ahead.According to Siti, the rental fee for her mother-in-law's house is RM600 a month.

"Encik Eng is very kind and considerate," she related.Siti said her mother-in-law is not facing any financial difficulty because the rental and utility bills are shared by a few of her sons. "Our landlord is just good-hearted. He texted us to inform us about waiving the rental fee for the month. Not deferment but giving us a free rental," Siti explained, "We are so lucky to have a landlord like Eng."Siti then urged Malaysians to help each other during the MCO."In trying time like this, let us all be united to lighten the burden of our brothers and sisters regardless of religion or race because all of us have the same goal... and that is to live a peaceful life," she added.

At the time of writing, Siti's Facebook post has garnered 12,000 shares, with over 1,500 comments

Many netizens were amazed by the landlord's compassion, while some said in jest that they hope their landlords will do the same."I felt like crying reading the conversation. The landlord is so pure-hearted lah," a Malaysian wrote.Another person commented, "I hope my landlord read this." A netizen then asked the commenter to tag his landlord in the post so that they can see it.

"In a situation like this, it is important that we stay united. Just because one or two people are racist doesn't mean all Malaysians should fight. I hope that one day Malaysia will have anti-racist laws. Peace," said a Facebook user.

Kenapa Ada Sesetengah Orang Lebih Kerap Kena Gigit Nyamuk Berbanding Yang Lain?

Pernah tak anda rasa macam selalu kena target dengan nyamuk? Habis berbintat satu badan :( Sedangkan orang lain boleh relax dan tak perasan pun ada nyamuk.

Image via TED-ed Tumblr

Haa nyamuk ni bukan main pilih saja ya. Kajian telah membuktikan bahawa nyamuk memang ada kecenderungan yang tertentu dalam memilih mangsanya.

Menurut laporan dari WebMD, seorang profesor emeritus dari Universiti Florida, Jerry Butler telah menyatakan bahawa "1 daripada 10 orang adalah mereka yang menarik perhatian nyamuk".Dan untuk pengetahuan anda, nyamuk menghisap darah bukanlah sebagai makanan. Malahan, hanya nyamuk betina sahaja yang akan menggigit manusia kerana mereka memerlukan sumber protein dari darah manusia untuk membenihkan telur serta menghasilkan lebih banyak anak. 85% kemungkinan kita akan digigit oleh nyamuk adalah disebabkan oleh faktor genetik.

Adakah anda ada ciri-ciri 'istimewa' yang nyamuk mahukan? Bawah ini ada senarai perkara yang boleh buat anda jadi 'magnet nyamuk':

1. Darah jenis O

Image via Biology stack Exchange

Satu kajian telah mendapati bahawa mereka yang berdarah jenis O adalah 83% lebih cenderung untuk digigit nyamuk. Manakala mereka yang berdarah jenis A mempunyai kecenderungan yang paling rendah, dan bagi yang berdarah jenis B pula mereka berada dalam kategori pertengahan. Boleh jadi cenderung untuk digigit dan mungkin juga kurang.  Selain itu, 85% orang yang menghasilkan rembesan yang boleh menunjukkan jenis darah mereka juga biasanya akan menjadi mangsa gigitan nyamuk, tanpa mengira jenis darah.

2. Saiz badan yang besar

Image via Gettystock

Perkara ini berkait rapat dengan kadar metabolik anda, ataupun kadar karbon dioksida (CO2) yang dikeluarkan daripada badan anda. Nyamuk dapat mengesan CO2 daripada jarak sejauh 50 meter! Dan ini telah menjadikan CO2 sebagai cara pengesanan mangsa yang paling utama bagi nyamuk. Nyamuk juga lebih sukakan mereka yang dewasa berbanding kanak-kanak kerana mereka ini lebih kerap menghembus nafas dan mengeluarkan karbon dioksida. Berbanding wanita, lelaki juga lebih cenderung untuk digigit nyamuk, sama seperti mereka yang obesiti atau lebih berat badan disebabkan saiz badan serta suhu badan.

3. Wanita mengandung

Image via Active

Merujuk kepada satu kajian yang telah dijalankan di Afrika, wanita mengandung adalah dua kali ganda lebih berisiko untuk menjadi mangsa nyamuk berbanding wanita yang tidak mengandung. Ini kerana wanita hamil lebih banyak menghasilkan CO2. Bukan itu sahaja, kajian pada tahun 2002 juga menunjukkan bahawa wanita yang mengandung pada hujung trimester akan melepaskan 21% lebih CO2 berbanding wanita biasa, yang mana menjadikan mereka lebih terdedah untuk menjadi target kepada nyamuk.

4. Melakukan aktiviti fizikal

Image via NYMag

Nyamuk tertarik kepada asid laktid iaitu bahan yang dihasilkan oleh tubuh badan selepas anda berpeluh. Oleh itu, anda akan lebih terdedah untuk digigit nyamuk sekiranya anda baru sahaja selesai berlari ataupun workout di gim. Selain itu, anda juga akan mengalami peningkatan suhu badan disebabkan oleh kadar metabolik yang meningkat selepas bersukan atau melakukan aktiviti lasak. Secara tidak langsung, ianya akan menjadikan nyamuk lebih tertarik kepada anda.

5. Anda baru mengambil segelas beer atau wine

Image via ABC News Go

Pengambilan alkohol juga akan meningkatkan kadar metabolik serta suhu badan yang mana akan menjadikan nyamuk lebih tertarik kepada anda.

6. Memakai baju berwarna merah atau warna gelap

Image via Mosquito Squad

Selain dari bau, nyamuk juga mencari mangsa berdasarkan penglihatan mereka. Warna merah akan menjadikan anda sebagai mangsa utama, sama seperti warna-warna gelap seperti hitam dan biru.Dr. Jonathan Day, entomologis dan pakar nyamuk dari Universiti Florida menjelaskan, "nyamuk mengalami masalah untuk terbang dalam keadaan yang berangin walaupun sedikit, jadi mereka akan terbang dalam ketinggian yang rendah. Dengan itu, mereka mengesan mangsa dengan membuat perbandingan warna pakaian. Warna gelap akan kelihatan menyerlah, manakala warna cerah seakan-akan senada."

7. Beberapa elemen dalam badan yang menjadikan anda 'magnet nyamuk'

Image via Mosquito Buzz

Mereka yang menghasilkan lebihan asid di dalam badan (contohnya asid laktik, asid urik) dan/atau mempunyai konsentrasi steroid dan kolesterol yang tinggi pada permukaan kulit akan lebih menarik perhatian nyamuk. Namun ini bukanlah bermakna nyamuk hanya target mereka yang berkolesterol tinggi, tetapi mereka ini secara *natural*nya memproses kolesterol dengan lebih cepat berbanding yang lain, menghasilkan bahan sampingan pada permukaan kulit.Bagi mereka yang jarang digigit oleh nyamuk, satu kajian yang dijalankan oleh London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine menyatakan bahawa mereka ini mempunyai "bau yang berbeza bagi nyamuk" seolah-olah mereka menghasilkan 'penghalau semulajadi'. Untunglah.

Jadi berdasarkan senarai di atas, adakah anda berada dalam kalangan 'magnet nyamuk' ini?

Twitter User's Call To Boycott IKEA Over A Pride Bag Has Spectacularly Backfired

A woman's call to boycott IKEA for releasing a carrier bag in celebration of Pride Month has completely backfired in the Malaysian Twittersphere

Over the weekend, the Twitter user shared a poster from an IKEA store in the United States promoting their rainbow-coloured Storstomma bags in support of equality and human rights.The poster showed that the company pledged to donate 30% of the bag's sales to charities that provide housing and healthcare services to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community.

Image via Lowyat.net

She called on her followers to boycott the furniture retail company in Malaysia for obviously supporting LGBTQ

"Does IKEA want to see the power of Malaysian boycotting?" wrote the user."Take this poster down or we will buy nothing from you, IKEA. From, a Malaysian."The tweet was quickly deleted after her plan backfired and she received backlash from netizens for being homophobic.On Sunday, 5 July, she reuploaded a screengrab of the deleted tweet with a new caption but the same stand.She wrote, "You want to bash me, go ahead. You want to condemn me, go ahead.""I will block anyone that leaves pornographic videos on my tweet. I will fight LGBT to the end!"

Image via Twitter

While the tweet drew criticism again for its homophobic sentiment, many Malaysians chose to reply with creativity and sarcasm

"I'm already boycotting these two," said a netizen who shared pictures of rainbow-coloured ice cream.

Image via Twitter

"Please also boycott cats," said another user who posted pictures of a cat holding a rainbow-coloured flag.

Image via Twitter

This Twitter user supported her stand to boycott IKEA. He wrote, "The next time I go to IKEA, there will be less customers, so I don't have to line up to buy curry puffs."

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, many other Twitter users chose to flood her replies with pictures of same-sex couples kissing and hugging to promote the message of acceptance

Historic Cold Storage Supermarket In PJ Is Closing Down By End Of 2019

It's a sad time for many as one of the oldest supermarkets in Petaling Jaya – Cold Storage in Section 14 – will be closing down by the end of 2019

The Edge Financial Daily quoted staff saying that the store's last day of operations in Jaya Shopping Centre will be on 31 December 2019.

Image via Free Malaysia Today

As of last Saturday, it began its closing-down sale but items were almost cleared out by 5pm on that same day itself

Image via The Edge Markets

Cold Storage is operated by GCH Retail (M) Sdn Bhd, which also runs the Giant supermarket and hypermarket chain, the Mercato supermarkets, and Jason's Food Hall.The Edge calculated that around 13 Giant and Cold Storage outlets have shut down this year.However, it also noted that the closure is part of GCH's business reorganisation to "better meet customer needs and to remain competitive". This includes its relaunch of 30 Giant outlets this year and the expansion of its ShopSmart convenience store chain with 500 outlets expected over the next 10 years.

The Cold Storage outlet has been an iconic supermarket for those living in the area, especially since its heyday when the shopping mall was known as Jaya Supermarket

In 2009, Jaya Supermarket was knocked down and replaced with Jaya Shopping Centre.

UTM Team Creates 'Makcik Kiah' Robot To Help Deliver Food & Medicine To COVID-19 Patients

The Makcik Kiah 19 robot, fondly nicknamed MCK19, is the first Malaysian-made delivery robot created to help healthcare providers in the country's battle against the COVID-19 pandemic

MCK19 is the brainchild of a team from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM (HUKM), and local tech company DF Automation and Robotics.According to Bernama, the team made MCK19 with the idea that it will be able to navigate automously into a patient's room, assisting doctors and nurses deliver food and medication without the risk of infection.

Image via UTM Newshub

It took the team less than two weeks to come up with a prototype at the beginning of the Movement Control Order (MCO)

According to a statement published by UTM on Wednesday, 8 April, DF co-founder and also associate professor from the UTM School of Electrical Engineering, Dr Yeong Che Fai, led the work.MCK19 is based on one of DF's own commercial robots - the Zalpha - which can accommodate up to 300kg of weight on its shelves and navigate any room on its own.

"The usage of these robots will reduce the exposure of healthcare professionals and frontliners to Patients Under Investigation (PUI) that may be highly contagious and need to be in isolation," they explained."Hence, it would also decrease the need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as hospitals are facing a global shortage."Better yet, they made the prototype with an LCD screen to show an animated face, just to appear more human-friendly.

UTM said that the robot is expected to be tested at HUKM at the end of this week

"DF will commit to mass produce the robot to supply to hospitals in Malaysia or any organisations that need it," the university said.According to Malaysiakini, the team is looking forward to the pilot trial because if they find that the robot works well, they will proceed with producing more for other applications."Robots can help with many tasks to reduce human presence such as delivering, disinfection, cleaning, monitoring, service, and many more," said the forward-thinking Yeong.The project has gained strong support from many parties, including the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI), the Ministry of Health (MOH), as well as the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.

Meet The First Malaysian Restaurant To Be Listed On Asia's 50 Best Restaurants List

For the first time in history, a Malaysian restaurant made the list for Asia's Best 50 Restaurants!

Image via First Classe

Dewakan restaurant in Shah Alam, made the country proud by ranking 46th on the list during the ceremony – dubbed as the "Oscars" of the food world

Dewakan also bagged the Best Restaurant in Malaysia award during the event, which was held in Macau last night, 26 March.

Founder and chef Darren Teoh
Image via Lifestyle Asia

Lifestyle Asia revealed that the restaurants were judged by a group of 318 industry experts who were required to have personally dined at the selected restaurants within the past 18 months.

Founder and chef Darren Teoh attributed the win to the combined efforts of every person involved in the process, from farm to the dining table

"It's nice to be acknowledged for the work that's being done by all in Malaysia, the farmers, the producers, and other restaurants who are pushing it every day as well as our guests and the guys at the restaurant now and before," he told Lifestyle Asia.He also revealed his plans to eventually relocate the restaurant to the city centre.

Chef Darren Teoh
Image via Dewakan

Dewakan is derived from two words – 'Dewa', the Malay word for god and 'makan', which means food – translating simply into 'food from God'

The restaurant, which first opened in 2015, has since been recognised for its take on modern Malaysian cuisine.Some of its delectable dishes have local spins to it, such as roast eggplant with keluak and candlenut oil, slow cooked red snapper with a broth made from temu, and kid goat from Boden farm with petai-so.

3 Youths Honoured With UK's 'Diana Award' For Creating Social Change In Malaysia

Three young changemakers from Malaysia have been honoured with The Diana Award for going above and beyond in their daily lives to create and sustain positive change

Priyanka Vairavasundaram, Nelson Ng Jia Jun, and Prevena Ramakrishnan have been recognised internationally for their active social action and humanitarian efforts they have put into their local communities.Established in memory of Princess Diana of Wales, the award is given out by the charity of the same name to honour Princess Diana's belief that youths have the power to change the world, and their efforts have often gone unnoticed.This year, 184 young changemakers received the award worldwide through an online ceremony held on Wednesday, 1 July, to recognise their achievements.

Priyanka Vairavasundaram was given the prestigious award for her work with underprivileged students in Penang

The 23-year-old, who is currently studying chemical engineering in Monash University Malaysia, has found the time outside of studies to start and run the SPARK Students' Success Program - a series of motivational talks and enrichment programs for underprivileged and underperforming students.Started six years ago and occasionally assisted by volunteers, Priyanka has since touched the lives of 3,900 students, acknowledging the challenges deprived communities face in seeking education and imparting learning skills and strategies to school children.She has since been held in high esteem by school authorities in Penang, and amongst various non-governmental organisations (NGO) such as Service Civil International Malaysia and the Penang State Government's Hindu Endowment Board.

Image via SPARK/Facebook

Meanwhile, Nelson Ng Jia Jun won the award for founding a student-led NGO that strives to tackle education inequality in Malaysia

Also at 23 years of age, Nelson started ProjectEd to provide equal access to education to young people regardless of their socio-economic background.Growing up in a rural village in Pontian, Johor, he was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship which gave him the opportunity to become the first person in his family to attend university.Currently studying aeronautics and astronautics at the University of Southampton, Nelson's experience has since inspired him to help others like him.Through ProjectEd, he helps other underprivileged students pursue tertiary education by giving digital mentorships and educational workshops. He also set up a scholarship programme called 'Knowledge Is Free', which is the first and only student-led scholarship fund in Malaysia.

Image via The Interview

Last but not least is Prevena Ramakrishnan who has fought for gender equality in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in Malaysia

With a keen interest in science, the 17-year-old student from Kulim, Kedah believes that all children, especially young women and girls, should be able to access all human rights, regardless of their socio-economic background.Volunteering with the Talent Developing Society, Prevena advocates for young women and girls in STEM by mentoring students and creating various innovation programmes to support gender equality in STEM education.When not participating in scientific research programmes and volunteering, she is also an environmental campaigner who likes to develop products from used plastic and frequently teaches her fellow students different ways to protect the planet.

[SHARE] "You Tunggu Saya, I Mesti Balik Punya."

On 15 January, a Facebook post titled "Today I Met Angels" caught the attention of Malaysians. It started out with a confession and quickly told of an unfortunate yet typical SOS situation on the highway.

The Facebook post titled 'Today I Met Angels'.
Image via imgur.com

With no petrol, the driver's stalled car was in the MIDDLE lane of The Federal Highway. It was in the morning. It would've caused others and you, the inconvenience of a hair-pulling traffic jam.

Image via imgur.com

Then there came a man on a motorcycle. He wanted to help. He asked her to give him money so he could buy her petrol.

Illustration purposes only.
Image via themalaymailonline.com

The man said, "You tunggu saya, I mesti balik punya."

At this point, most of us would have advised her NOT to believe a word he says. But she chose to trust this stranger. She even called her sister not to come with the petrol. He didn't show up...

I chose to believe him and called my sis no need to come. So I waited at the roadside and after 25 mins passed and he hasn't turned up I then started to doubt.. I was starting to feel a bit disappointed, and it was not because of the money.. u know rite?

        facebook.com

...until 25 minutes later. He came back for her.

Image via imgur.com

She learned that his name was Mr Vasu. Mr Vasu made sure she was out of traffic's way and filled up petrol with a DIY funnel.

Mr Vasu
Image via says.com

His kindness filled her with gratitude and appreciation. Not long after, a highway personnel helped to direct traffic. No words were exchanged with this man.

Suddenly a car stop at the back of my car and a driver came down. He straight put on his reflective jacket (being a highway personnel) and started help us signal the others drivers to other lane.. We did not have the chance to talk and he just left right after we done the filling up the petrol. I really wish I could at least say Thank You to him!

        facebook.com

When the ordeal was over, she wanted to thank Mr Vasu with a token of RM50 but he refused to accept it until she 'forced' him to.

In the end, I 'forced' Mr Vasu to accept my 50 ringgit as I really want to thank him.. but he insisted did not want to take it..and I still force..
Can you feel the kindness heart..I can.They just appeared when I need them without asking for reward. They are Angels
"You tunggu saya, I mesti balik punya".The hope that he gave me when im helpless.

        facebook.com

When Malaysians read this story, some recognised him as Mr Vasu, a driver from HELP University. Even Jeff Sadhu from BFM responded.

Image via Only In Malaysia Facebook

Most importantly, this story triggered Malaysians to share their own experiences openly on social media

Mr Vasu's kindness spurred Malaysians to share more positive stories like this, while others expressed their disappointment with the government. "This is the real Malaysia.." they said.

Azmin Ali Says Businesses Can Sue States That Do Not Follow The CMCO

State governments may face lawsuits from industry players if they stop businesses from resuming under the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO), warns Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali

According to New Straits Times, the International Trade and Industry Minister said the government was aware that several states decided against implementing the CMCO, which began yesterday, 4 May."Their actions are not founded on lawful authority and are contrary to the policy of the Federal Government, all the more so in view of the fact that the Federal Government's policy has already been made into law and is enforceable throughout the country," he said in a statement yesterday evening.

Image via Business Today

The government has gazetted the CMCO under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342) in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19, he explained

According to The Star, Azmin added the authorities should also take note of the views by various industry associations.He said the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers and the Malay Chamber of Commerce have insisted there should be no direct restrictions from the state governments to stop companies from wanting to resume operations from 4 May."Should the state governments refuse to cooperate in implementing Act 342, which has been gazetted into law and enforceable throughout the country, the state governments may face the possibility of legal action from various parties, particularly industry players."

Azmin also stressed that the government's plan to reopen most economic sectors under the conditional MCO was not done hastily

He said the decision was taken with utmost care, caution, and responsibility with data and findings by his own ministry, the Ministry of Finance, Bank Negara Malaysia, and Khazanah Nasional.The findings, he said, were then presented for discussion with the Menteris Besar and Chief Ministers at a National Security Council's meeting on 28 April, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) were already handed out to all the state governments on 2 May."Based on the discussions during the meeting, the state governments realised that should the MCO continue until June 2020, the cumulative loss of the national income is estimated to reach RM146 billion or a shortfall of 10.3% of the GDP," he said, as quoted by Bernama."This would wipe out the economic success that has been achieved for the last four years. In this regard, the meeting agreed to reopen the economic sectors during the CMCO beginning 4 May."

Azmin urged state governments to co-operate in complying with the Federal Government's decision to revive the economy

"This decision takes into account the importance and imperatives of the health and well-being of the rakyat and the need to regenerate the economy," he said."The government is confident that we, as a team, will succeed in winning the 'war' against the COVID-19 pandemic."

Here's Why Jeju Island Is The Perfect Holiday Destination To Experience Winter

Here are some things you need to know before visiting Jeju Island:

Image via Tenor

1. Where is Jeju Island?Jeju Island (a.k.a Jeju-do) is a volcanic island located just off the south coast of Korea. It's about 455km from Seoul and is accessible by plane or ferry.2. What makes it special?Nicknamed 'Island of the Gods', Jeju Island is most known for its picturesque scenery, supply of high quality fresh seafood, and home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The charming little island is a popular holiday destination for both locals and tourists alike; it's especially popular as a top honeymoon destination for Korean newlyweds.3. When is a good time to visit? During winter which is approximately from December to March. While there isn't really an off-peak season for Jeju Island, the winter months usually have fewer crowds as well as cheaper travel and accommodation fares.And you don't have to worry about it being too cold. Thanks to its mild coastal climate and constant circulation of warm currents throughout the island, Jeju-do is actually warmer than the rest of Korea. Even during winter, the weather generally remains mild and the temperature rarely drops below 0 degrees Celsius. But certain regions do see some snowfall and the island is known for being very windy throughout the year.4. Anything else I should know? Even if you're fluent in or have basic knowledge of the Korean language, you may find it difficult to communicate with Jeju-do natives as they speak their own dialect there. Even Koreans from other parts of Korea can have a difficult time understanding the Jeju dialect. Here are some simple terms you should know: - Honjeo obsseoye = Welcome- Annyeong hasukkwa = Hello- Jalipsseo = Goodbye- Matjo sundagye = It’s delicious - Gomabsuda = Thank you- Igeo eoleumsseo = How much is this?- Hosseol kkakajubsseo = Please give me a discount

For an amazing winter holiday in Jeju-do, add these things to your travel itinerary:

1. Go winter hiking at Hallasan

Image via @skywoong (Instagram)

At a height of 1,950m above sea level, Hallasan is the highest mountain in Korea and one of Korea's three spirit mountains. It is listed as both a Natural Monument of Korea as well as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. The young volcanic mountain is famed for the gorgeous view from its peak and is said to be especially beautiful during winter.There are six hiking trails, each of varying lengths and levels of difficulty. Out of these, only two go all the way to the top: the Seongpanak Trail and the Gwaneumsa Trail. The shortest and most beginner friendly trails are the Yeongsil Trail and the Eorimok Trail. Location: 2070-61, 1100-ro, Jeju-si, Jeju-do

2. Ride a horse through a winter wonderland

Image via Jeju Tourism Organization

Horse riding is usually considered a summer activity but in Jeju-do many actually prefer to go horse riding in winter when the weather is cooler. Also, it's a great way to take in even more of Jeju-do's gorgeous winter landscapes.The Jeju Horse Riding Park is over 1 million square meters, making it the biggest horse riding park in Korea. Beginners can opt for the guided tracks while more experienced riders can choose to explore one of the island’s volcanic cones on horseback. Location: 152-1, Nokgome-gil, Aewol-eup, Jeju City

3. Relax and unwind at trendy cafés facing the beach

The Monsant CaféIf you're a K-pop fan you definitely need to go to The Monsant Café 'cause it's owned by Big Bang's leader, G-Dragon! Maybe you'll get to see him there if you're lucky ;)Even if you're not a fan though, The Monsant Café  is still worth a visit for their coffee. Plus, the modern and stylish interior makes for great Instagram photos. But its best feature is definitely the wall of huge glass windows that guarantee a gorgeous view of the beach, especially during sunset.Location:  56-1 Aewolbukseo-gil, Aewol-eup, Cheju, Jeju-do

Image via Visit Jeju

Hey Brother CaféThe simple but modern Hey Brother Café is the perfect place to just kick back and relax. Head up to the rooftop to grab yourself seats with the best view. And don't forget to try one of their signature drinks: Lemonicano (Americano with lemon), Summer Latte (latte with Häagen-Dazs ice cream). Or you could opt for one of the 26 types of beer they have on offer. Pair it with a serving of their popular fish and chips or coconut shrimp.Location: 72, Hyeongjehaean-ro, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do

Image via Visit Jeju

The Jjokkeullak Café The Jjokkeullak Café gained popularity on Instagram thanks to their iconic colourful and layered lattes that are almost too pretty to drink. The green tea with latte and Jeju orange with latte are the most popular picks. Give their desserts a try too, there's a particular ooey-gooey chocolate brownie making its rounds on Instagram that looks absolutely divine!Location: 21, Gimnyeong-ro 21-gil, Gimnyeong-ri, Gujwa-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do

4. Handpick special sweet and juicy Jeju tangerines

Image via Rachel Cheah (Wordpress)

Jeju-do is famous for two varieties of sweet and delicious tangerines: gamgyul and hallabong. Gamgyul are smaller and similar to mandarin oranges while hallabong are larger and have a characteristic bump on the top. Both are winter favourites as that's when they're at their sweetest and juiciest. They're also said to be good for keeping colds away.You'll see trees bearing these citrus fruits practically everywhere in Jeju-do but please do not randomly pluck them without permission as each tree usually has its own caretaker and/or owner. Instead, head to one of the many citrus farms around or to the Jeju Agriculture Ecology Park where you'll be able to pick and eat tangerines to your heart's content for a small fee.Location: Jeju Agriculture Ecology Park, Jungsangandongno 7413, Namwon-eup, Seogwipo City

5. Check out some awe-inspiring natural wonders

Image via The Straits Times

Seongsan IlchulbongSeongsan Ilchulbong is a tuff cone that was formed after a volcanic eruption caused it to rise up out of the sea over 100,000 years ago. At its peak is a huge crater surrounded by sharp rocks, making it look like a giant crown. This UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site is known for its magnificent view at sunrise, earning it the nickname 'Sunrise Peak'.In winter you won't be able to see the signature bright yellow canola flowers surrounded by green grass but you'll get to enjoy the cooling weather and the sight of the brilliant blue ocean. And the misty and cloudy sunrise view you can only see during winter is said to be quite mystically beautiful.Location: 284-12, Ilchul-ro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do

Image via Diveprice

Geomunoreum Lava Tube SystemCreated by volcanic activities between 100,000 and 300,000 years ago, the Geomunoreum Lava Tube System is yet another UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site on Jeju Island. The flow of lava along the coastal slope caused the formation of several lava caves, each with its own unique geographical features. Only one, the Manjanggul Lava Tube is open to the public. It does get colder the further in you go, but the temperature remains warmer than the outside even during winter. Some even describe it as cosy so you don't have to worry about feeling too cold or too hot.Location: 182, Manjanggul-gil, Jeju-si, Jeju-do

6. Be one of the first to visit YG Town

Image via WiffleGif

Set to open in November 2017, YG Town will be a K-pop lover's paradise, especially if you're a YG bias. It will be part of the brand new Jeju Shinhwa World, one of South Korea’s largest integrated resorts. The attractions of YG Town include trendy shops, an outdoor theatre, a space for DJ parties, performances and concerts, a bowling alley, and a café/lounge pub.Not only is G-Dragon the official brand ambassador for Jeju Shinhwa World as a whole, he was actually personally involved in the developing the overall concept and design of YG Town's bowling alley and the café/lounge pub.Location: 139 Sinhwayeoksa-ro 304 beon-gil, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do

The World's Best Problem Solvers Are Asians, But Not Malaysians

Malaysia has scored a ranking of 39 out of 44 countries in a creative problem-solving test that measures the skills young people use when faced with everyday problems

Malaysia once again fared poorly in a world student performance assessment test conducted in 2012, ending up in the bottom quarter among 44 countries – a result that reinforces the concern that the country’s education system is in tatters.

85,000 fifteen-year-old students from 44 countries took part in the Programme for International Student Assessment's (PISA) first assessment on creative problem-solving measures

85,000 students from 44 countries and economies took the computer-based test, involving real-life scenarios to measure the skills young people will use when faced with everyday problems, such as setting a thermostat or finding the quickest route to a destination.

Results show that Asian students are the best problem solvers with Singapore, Korea, Japan, and China taking the top seven spots

Students from Singapore and Korea have performed best in the OECD PISA first assessment of creative problem-solving. Students in these countries are quick learners, highly inquisitive and able to solve unstructured problems in unfamiliar contexts. Japan, Macao‑China, Hong Kong-China, Shanghai-China and Chinese Taipei were also among the top-performing economies.

Students from Canada, Australia, Finland, England, Estonia, France, the Netherlands, Italy, the Czech Republic, Germany, the United States and Belgium all scored above the OECD average.

Not all countries that did well in school subjects like mathematics or science did well on the problem-solving test. Conversely, students in the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan did better on problem-solving than in key school subjects.

Malaysia ranked 39 with a mean score of 422 in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) first assessment on creative problem-solving, while neighbouring Singapore came out tops with a mean score of 562, said the report released yesterday by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The overall mean score for all countries was 500.

        yahoo.com

Malaysians scored 29.1 on solution rate on tasks measuring the acquisition of knowledge and 29.3 on solution rate on tasks measuring the utilisation of knowledge while Singapore scored 62 and 55.4 respectively, way above the average score of all countries, which are 45.5 and 46.4 respectively.

        themalaysianinsider.com

On the other hand, Malaysia only had 0.9% share of top performers compared with Singapore's 29.3%. Malaysia's share was below the average percentage of 11.4%. This showed that only one out of 10 Malaysian students, aged 15, is able to solve the most complex problems, compared with one in five in Singapore, Korea and Japan.

        yahoo.com

According to The Malaysian Insider, these results signify the weakness in the country's education system

Malaysia had more than half of the share of low achievers, which means the students tested lacked the skills needed in a modern workplace.

        msn.com

Malaysia's continuous dismal performance in international assessments highlights the weaknesses in the country's schooling system, despite the fact that education gets the largest share of funds every year from the national budget. Critics have pointed out that the PISA results contradicted Putrajaya’s insistence that Malaysia has a world-class education system.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Acting Director of Education and Skills at the OECD says policy makers should reshape schooling systems to help students develop problem-solving skills needed in today's economies

"Today's 15-year-olds with poor problem-solving skills will become tomorrow's adults struggling to find or keep a good job," said Andreas Schleicher, acting director of Education and Skills at the OECD.

"Policy makers and educators should reshape their school systems and curricula to help students develop their problem-solving skills which are increasingly needed in today's economies," he said.

Maszlee: Students No Longer Have To Sit Through Boring, Lengthy School Assemblies

A 10-minute Assembly Module (M10MP), developed by a group of lecturers and students, will be implemented in schools to make assemblies more engaging

Image via The Malaysian Insight

"Lengthy speeches and one-way activities need to be changed immediately," said Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik during the 60th anniversary of special education at the Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG) Ilmu Khas Campus yesterday, 12 February, The Borneo Post reported.The 42 activities under the new module range from Science, Music, and arts and crafts, to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), school-based assessments and values.

In order to "hone leadership, critical thinking, and communication skills," the 10-minute assemblies will be conducted by students themselves

"Assemblies are known to be boring for students but now they have the chance to lead," said Fatin Nuratikah Ahmad Shuhaimi, one of the students from Institute of Teacher Education (IPG) Kampus Ilmu Khas, Cheras, who was involved in drawing up the module."There can be a physics project where students put different types of objects into a balloon. They then shake it and listen to the type of noise each object makes," she explained, The Star reported.

The assembly module was adopted by 253 schools in 2017 and received positive feedback in the first six months of its implementation

Although the module would not be made compulsory for schools, the Education Minister hoped that teachers would embrace it for its creativity and innovation. "Every school is free to explore its own creativity in implementing the weekly assembly," said Maszlee."We need fresher ideas and unconventional approaches to education," he added.

"Steady, YB!": Malaysians Praise Anthony Loke After He Declined 2 Smartphones In Gift

Earlier this week, Anthony Loke was seen refusing to accept the gift of two smartphones that he was being presented as a token of appreciation by an event organiser at the of a new e-hailing service

According to a report in The Star Online, the Minister of Transport in the Pakatan Harapan Government was offered two smartphones, Huawei P20 and Huawei Nova 3i.The Democratic Action Party (DAP) politician, however, declined to accept the gift, saying, "I'm sorry, but I'm unable to accept as I am sure they cost more than RM500."The smartphones are actually worth almost RM4,000, reported the English daily.

He also reminded the event organisers of the PH government's policy on gifts for public servants and how he must abide by it

"We don't need any gifts or tokens of appreciation. We walk the talk."I had to reject the gift presented to me because it is worth more than RM500. As the new government, we don't need to be presented with any gifts or tokens. We hope that organisers carrying out events understand this rule," Anthony later said.In June, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had announced that the PH government will be enforcing a no-gift policy throughout the civil service.The only gift a civil servant is allowed to accept are flowers, fruits, and food.

Malaysians have since praised the Transport Minister for his stand:

Respect! It will take a while to break the culture which has been bred by old BN, but KUDOS to Mr Loke for being firm yet professional and objective — ODannyBoy (@TungDennis) August 21, 2018
