Special Invitation To Dine With PM Muhyiddin Leaves Veveonah Smiling

After being accused  by two deputy ministers of pretending to take an online examination on a tree for popularity, Veveonah Mosibin was invited to have dinner with Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin

According to New Straits Times, the 18-year-old Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) student shared a meal together with the premier on Saturday night, 12 September.During the dinner, Veveonah took a selfie with Muhyiddin, where both of them can be seen smiling while gesturing with an L-sign under their chins."Stay awesome! It was such an honour for me and my parents to be invited to have dinner with Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, the eighth Prime Minister of Malaysia," she shared on Instagram yesterday, 13 September."He is such a humble and amazing person. Thank you so much, Tan Sri."

This is the second time Veveonah received a visit from government officials following the accusation

On Thursday, 10 September, Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI) Minister Khairy Jamaluddin personally visited Veveonah to apologise to her on behalf of the government.Khairy said he visited the student at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), located in Kota Kinabalu."Had a meeting with Veveonah at UMS. I have apologised to her and her parents on behalf of the government," he wrote in a tweet."I also have suggested for [Veveonah] to work with Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia in developing innovation projects in environmental conservation at her village."In the post, Khairy also shared a few photos of him with Veveonah and her parents.

The two deputy ministers who made the accusation were Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin and Deputy Finance Minister I Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri

Last week, the duo took to Dewan Negara and Facebook respectively to call out Veveonah for being an "attention-seeker".However, they quickly retracted their comments after the UMS Board of Directors confirmed that Veveonah was indeed sitting for an exam during the filming of the video, which was posted on 13 June.The video, titled '24 Hours On Tree', has garnered over 830,000 views on YouTube at the time of writing.Zahidi had on the same day made a formal apology to the student, while Rahim had taken down his erroneous Facebook post.

[VIDEO] Another YouTuber Is Showing Off How He Scaled Merdeka 118 During A Thunderstorm

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

Risking their lives and being caught by police, the content creators behind YouTube channel 'Driftershoots' have posted a video showing how they scaled Kuala Lumpur skyscraper, Merdeka 118

American army veteran and tower-climbing content creator, Isaac 'Drift' Wright, said he and his three friends flew to Kuala Lumpur solely to film and climb the world's second tallest building."This is our first international trip solely to go photograph. We're on our way to Kuala Lumpur where we'll be exploring and shooting the second tallest building in the world, hopefully," he says in the opening of the video uploaded on 30 December."Hopefully, we also don't get hit by lightning," he added.

The seven-minute video shows the four of them, with their faces censored except for Wright's, climbing the inside of the tower clad in construction workers' outfits

They can be seen cutting through and climbing past restricted areas leading up to the top floor, and also encountering a thunderstorm when they reached the top of the building."The journey was long and difficult and full of challenges," Wright wrote in the caption of the video.However, the thrill seeker admitted that he still enjoyed the law-defying experience."A number of attempts had already ended in prison time for certain individuals so we knew we were up against heavy odds," he said."The trip ended successfully and it's a gift to be ending the year showing this footage."He also warned, "This video is an artistic expression of freedom done for love, I do not encourage anybody to recreate the actions shown in this video."

Image via Driftershoots (YouTube)

The video on the channel also included scenes of the friends celebrating their success by taking panoramic photos on top of the skyscraper and popping bottles of champagne in a hotel room

The video by Driftershoots comes a month after Russian tower-climbing content creator couple, Ivan Beerkus and Angela Nikolau, also claimed to have conquered the peak of Merdeka 118.The police are currently investigating the couple for trespassing into the tower.

Despite drawing ire for trespassing, Nikolau had also made a video documenting her "incredible" experience scaling Merdeka 118:

Angela Nikolau said she wore hijab, glasses, and a builder's uniform to look as "unnoticeable" as possible.

'Budak Berapa Eh Nak Bagi?' - 7 Soalan Yang Ada Di Fikiran Bila First Time Bagi Duit Raya

Masa kecil dulu, sesi pemberian duit raya adalah masa yang paling ditunggu-tunggu bila beraya di rumah orang. Betul tak?

Image via Google

Tak khusyuk jamah kuih, mata memang akan melilau kalau tuan rumah dah pegang sampul raya. Bila dipanggil je, kelam-kabut semua beratur nak kutip duit raya. Ha, tapi itu dulu, sekarang semuanya dah besar. Ada yang dah masuk universiti malah ada yang dah bekerja pun. Bila dah bekerja mesti tergerak hati nak bagi duit raya untuk anak buah dan anak-anak jiran bukan?Bagi anda yang pertama kali nak bagi duit raya tahun ini, berapa ringgit yang anda akan bagi? Siapa yang akan dapat? Soalan-soalan ini dan beberapa lagi soalan yang lain pasti terlintas di fikiran bukan? Mana tidaknya, pertama kali bagi duit rayalah katakan.

Di bawah merupakan soalan-soalan lazim yang sering anda fikirkan. Betul atau tidak?

1. Berapa nak bagi untuk dorang eh?

Gambar sekadar hiasan
Image via Rileklah

Jumlah pemberian sebenarnya tidak ditetapkan dan terpulang pada anda. Biasanya, RM5-RM10 pun dah cukup. Kalau ada bajet lebih, bagi lebih sikit contohnya RM20. Terpulanglah, janji ikhlas. Kami pun ada tanya kawan-kawan di pejabat, rata-ratanya akan bagi RM5-RM10 mengikut bajet masing-masing. Okay je bukan?

2. Nak bagi siapa eh? Patut tak bagi semua orang?

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via DollarsAndSense.my

Biasanya, kita akan bagi pada mereka yang kecil sehinggalah yang bersekolah sebab mereka memerlukan duit untuk beli buku, barang keperluan dan sebagainya. Ada juga yang suka beri had umur, maksimum 12 tahun. Tu semua terpulang. Malah, zaman sekarang ada juga jenis yang bagi duit raya pada mereka yang dah menuntut di universiti. Katanya, mereka lebih banyak memerlukan duit. Ada juga yang bagi pada ibu bapa, tapi jumlahnya lagi besar. Sekali lagi kami cakap, itu semua terpulang.

3. Bila waktu yang sesuai dan bagaimana cara yang betul untuk bagi duit raya?

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Google

Duit raya biasanya akan diberikan sebelum kanak-kanak atau tetamu balik. Tapi pastikan mereka sudah menjamah sikit kuih, paling tidak minum air. Beratur elok-elok, salam dengan tuan rumah, barulah boleh dapat duit raya. Kalau bagi masa tetamu baru datang, nanti terus capai selipar dan balik. Tak sempat nak duduk. Yelah, janji dapat duit raya kan?Lagi 'awesome' kalau bagi ‘e-Duit raya’ guna aplikasi. Zaman sekarang dah makin maju, banyak aplikasi perbankan juga dah memperkenalkan fungsi hebat ni. Barulah anda layak digelar 'pakcik/makcik yang cool' raya kali ni sebab bagi ‘e-Duit raya’!

4. Cukup je jumlah yang diberikan tadi? Hmmmm...

Gambar sekadar hiasan.
Image via Loanstreet

Sekali lagi kami pesan, nak bagi duit raya biarlah mengikut kemampuan dan ikhlas. Cukup atau tak itu terpulang pada penerima. Mereka yang akan memanfaatkan duit tu nanti. Lagi pun, bukan dia raya satu rumah je. Banyak lagi rumah yang mereka akan singgah!

5. "Cun gila kakak dia, bagi duit raya lebihlah kat adiknya." Wah, perangai macam ini pun ada ya!

Image via Imgur

Baik mengaku, siapa yang pernah fikir macam ini? Kami cadangkan, baik lupakan jelah! Bagi duit raya bukan sebab ikhlas, sebab kakak dia lawa. Bagi pun bukan RM1-RM2, paling-paling RM10! Yelah, nanti budak tu balik mesti dia cerita dengan kakak dia yang ada orang bagi duit raya banyak kan? Haha apalah!

6. Pening pula, nak bagi ke tidak niiiii? Aduh...

Image via Giphy

Pada yang terfikir macam ini, ada baiknya korang ikhlaskan hati sempena raya. Bagi je, tak luak pun duit tu, InsyaAllah ada rezeki lain. Kalau terdetik soalan macam ini, mesti budak tu buat perangai masa tengah beraya kan? Silap-silap budak tu pecahkan pasu, tak pun tumpahkan air, lauk, tabur kuih raya dan macam-macam lagi. Sebab tu tanya diri sendiri balik nak bagi ke tak. Betul? Hehehe.

7. Kalau bagi RM5 untuk budak-budak, berapa lama mereka boleh happy?

Image via Giphy

Bagi sesetengah kanak-kanak, berapa pun jumlah duit raya yang anda bagi, mereka tak berapa kisah. Janji, diorang dapat duit raya. Lepas dapat duit raya, mesti mereka akan tersenyum dan ucapkan terima kasih. Nampak tak mereka bahagia? Lagi happy bila mereka beraya 5-6 buah rumah dalam sehari, setiap rumah hulur duit raya. Kumpul-kumpul nanti dapat banyak juga. Wah!

8. Budak ni dari mana pula? Macam tak pernah nampak je...

Image via Ballroom On My Mind - WordPress.com

Sedang hulur duit raya, tiba-tiba perasan ada sorang budak yang tak dikenali. Apa nak buat? Bagi ke tak? Bagi jelah. Ikhlaskan diri, dapat pahala. Sambil-sambil itu bermesralah sikit dengan dia, tanya duduk mana, anak siapa apa semua.

Sebab Tak Scan MySejahtera Di Kedai Makan, 6 Pelajar Ini Didenda RM1,000

Seperti kita semua tahu, sejak berlakunya penularan wabak Covid-19, kerajaan telah pun mewajibkan setiap orang untuk mengisi nama di dalam buku log atau scan kod MySejahtera sebelum memasuki sesebuah premis

Ianya sudah pun menjadi perkara yang wajib dilakukan setiap kali seseorang individu sampai ke sebuah premis sepanjang musim pandemik.Anda juga boleh dikenakan tindakan yang tegas oleh pihak berkuasa jika tidak mematuhi arahan atau prosedur operasi standard (SOP) yang telah ditetapkan oleh kerajaan.Seperti kejadian yang berlaku kepada 6 orang pelajar ini, mereka berada di kedai makan tanpa melakukan imbasan kod MySejahtera atau menulis nama di dalam buku log yang disediakan.

Image via The Star

Menerusi sumber, sekumpulan 8 orang mahasiswa telah datang ke kedai makan namun, 6 daripadanya gagal melakukan self check in yang menyebabkan mereka dikenakan denda sebanyak RM1,000.Pihak penguatkuasa tiba secara mengejut untuk membuat pemeriksaan di kedai makan tersebut untuk memastikan setiap individu mematuhi arahan yang telah ditetapkan.

Pemilik restoran pun tidak terlepas dikenakan denda juga oleh pihak penguatkuasa

Woman Shares How She Was Denied Entry To The KL Library Because Of Her "Revealing" Clothes

Editor's Note: This story has been updated to clarify Unis' response to a security guard.

A woman shared on Twitter that she was denied entry to the Kuala Lumpur Library recently because her clothes were considered too revealing

On 12 August, user @SyarifahAmin, also known as Unis, uploaded a photo of herself along with a caption that read, "Got denied entry into Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur this morning because of 'pakaian menjolok mata' (revealing clothes) 'sebab nampak bra' (because my bra was showing). This was what I was wearing."The tweet has since garnered over 1,400 retweets and 95 replies.

The woman shared that she was wearing a white shirt and long trousers.
In her thread, she mused that had she not been wearing a bra, then her nipples would have shown.

In a separate tweet, she explained that she had told the library staff, "I came here to study. I'm wearing long sleeves and long pants. I'm not going to wear a sweater to cover my bra lines."

SAYS reached out to the Kuala Lumpur Library regarding the incident, but they have yet to issue a statement.

Unis also told SAYS that she hopes the library will revise its policy which mainly targets women.
However, she stressed that she enjoys using the library facilities and hopes that no action will be taken against the security guard in particular.

She said, "I would be very happy to raise awareness on this matter. Public policies, a lot of them, target only women. I do not want [the guard] to lose their job because of this. I'm sure they are only doing their job according to their level of what is appropriate."

here are some other angles of my clothing since some comments are still justifying its inappropriate. If you zoom hard enough... you can see the pimple on my chest. help me pop it pls pic.twitter.com/hu23r4mpWF— Miss Atomic Bomb (@SyarifahAmin) August 13, 2020

Several netizens were angered after hearing about the incident

One person wrote, "I'm glad you fought back, Unis. I don't see how this is 'inappropriate' dressing. Honestly, I would've done the same thing too. It's a library and you're just there to study for God's sake."

Meanwhile, another user said, "Utterly absurd that you had to endure this. Creepy obsession with policing women's bodies, the way we dress. How did we get here and how do we get the heck out. Glad you pushed back, but frustrating that you had to in the first place."

"How the heck is this menjolok mata? In cases like these, I can't help but feel like the people who over police women's bodies are also the people hypersexualising femininity - not everything that a woman wears is meant to be attractive or sexy to others! People have got to stop projecting!"

Ipoh Grandpa Charged With Molesting And Raping His 2 Granddaughters Was Granted Bail

A 71-year-old man from Desa Chemor Permai in Perak, who was charged in the Ipoh Sessions Court on Thursday, with molesting and raping his two granddaughters in June 2017, was today granted bail

Judge Datuk Julie Lack Abdullah allowed the man to be released on an RM10,000 bail for both charges with one surety, according to a report in New Straits Times.The accused, who identity was not revealed to protect the victims, has been charged with multiple charges involving molestation and rape, with one of them falling under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.The above charge carries a 20 years jail term and whipping upon conviction.

Image via NST Online

He has pleaded not guilty to both charges

According to the report in New Straits Times, both the alleged offences were committed between 3 to 6 June in 2017 in his house at Desa Chemor Permai, Perak.The 71-year-old grandfather is accused of committing a sexual act on his six-year-old granddaughter, for which he was charged under Section 376B of the Penal Code which carries a maximum jail term of 30 years and whipping upon conviction.He is also accused of sexually molesting his other granddaughter, who is five years old, for which was charged under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act which carries a maximum jail term of 20 years and whipping upon conviction.

His defence appealed for bail on medical grounds

While Deputy Public Prosecutor Naidatul Athirah Azman had appealed to the court to disallow bail for the accused in view that both the victims were his grandchildren, the accused's lawyer Sukhdev Singh said both victims were not living with him."The children are not staying with my client and he also needs medical treatment for his illness daily," Sukhdev Singh told the court, adding that the accused suffers from Parkinson's disease, hypertension, piles and hearing defects.However, while the bail was allowed, Judge Abdullah placed an additional condition, cautioning the accused to not have any contact with the victims in any manner.

Badass Crayfish Becomes Online Hero After Cutting Off Its Own Claw To Escape Hot Soup

A badass crayfish became an online hero after dramatically sacrificing its limb to escape a hot pot of boiling soup at a restaurant in China

Image via Jiuke/Facebook

A diner dropped the live critter into a steamboat pot and was about to stir the soup when the crayfish quickly clambered out in a dash to save itself from being cooked.

Footage then showed the creature amputating its own claw that was presumed to have become immobile due to the boiling temperature of the soup

The clip was posted on a Chinese site Weibo by a diner named Jiuke who said that he later took the crustacean home as a pet instead of eating it."I let him live. I already took him home and am raising him in an aquarium," he said, after netizens urged him to spare the animal's life, reported The Straits Times.

Thankfully, the little hero will be regrowing its lost claw as crayfish are able to regenerate their own limbs

Adult crayfish are usually unable to grow their claws back to their original size however, their new limbs will still be able to fully function.When a crayfish sheds its claw, a smaller and weaker version will eventually take its place within a couple of months depending on the species.

Crayfish was apparently the most popular dish in China last year, based on a list of the top 10 most-ordered dishes on Chinese consumer app Meituan-Dianping.The "little lobster" dish made for a booming business that created 3.9 trillion yuan (RM2.4 trillion) sales revenue in 2017 and provided jobs for five million people in 2016.It is said that the savoury flavours were the most popular among the Chinese in 2017 while the spicy version ranked second.

The crayfish video clip has since gone viral, with one Facebook post that generated 1.2 million views since its posting last week

This sort of devotion to cleanliness is not the first time from the Japanese. Just last month, the Japanese football team left their dressing room at the Asian Cup in Abu Dhabi spotless despite suffering a disappointing defeat in the final against Qatar:

Their class off the pitch was first hailed by the official account of the Asian Cup, which tweeted a picture of Japan's dressing room, which was immaculately clean.They reportedly cleaned the dressing room, left the floor spotless and sorted all rubbish, and also left a note saying 'Thank You' in three languages.The ‘Thank You’ note was written in Arabic, Japanese, and English.In Arabic, 'thank you' is translated to 'shukran jazeeran' and Japan's players took note to write in the language with much care.

Happy CNY 2014: 5 Things You Most Certainly Didn't Know About The Year Of The Horse

1. The Chinese zodiac is a calendar system originating in the Han dynasty (206-220BC), which names each of the years in its 12-year cycle after an animal

The names are: the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig, in that order. According to the system, the universe is made up of five elements – earth, water, fire, wood and metal – which interact with the 12 animals, resulting in the specific character of the year ahead.

        ndtv.com

2. People born in the year of the horse are said to be a bit like horses

They are animated, active and energetic – they love being in a crowd. They are quick to learn independence – foals can walk minutes after birth – and they have a straightforward and positive attitude towards life. They are known for their communication skills and are exceedingly witty.

3. The animal signs of each year merely indicate how others see you or how you choose to present yourself

There are also animal signs for each month, known as inner animals, signs for each day, called true animals, and animals for each hour, or secret animals.

4. If you were born in the year of the horse, you're in some mighty good company

Fellow members of the horse club include Genghis Khan, Mongol ruler; Franklin D Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the US; Louis Pasteur, a 19th-century scientist; Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon; the American singer Aretha Franklin; and the model Cindy Crawford.

[VIDEO VIRAL] Lagu GST Ini Sangat Menarik Sampai Buat Kami Geleng Kepala

Mula-mula, kami sangat teruja bila lihat sebilangan pegawai kastam menari (atau bergoyang?) ke kiri ke kanan, ke kiri ke kanan pada permulaan lagu. Kami fikir, mesti akan ada tarian yang menarik selepas ini.

Image via SAYS.com

Tunggu punya tunggu, akhirnya kami kecewa sebab langsung tiada rutin tarian yang 'best'. Pergerakan ke kiri ke kanan diulang-ulang sampai ke habis lagu, cuma tukar 'camera angle' sahaja.

Image via SAYS.com

Tapi, ada juga babak menarik yang mereka selitkan di tengah-tengah lagu. Di bawah ini ialah salah satu contoh. 1... 2... 3... angkat!

Image via SAYS.com

Bukan setakat itu sahaja. Aksi 3 pegawai kastam pusing kerusi dengan kertas GST warna-warni di tangan ini pun tidak kurang juga menghiburkan hati kami.

Image via SAYS.com

Dan bila tiada kerusi, berdiri pun boleh.... Atau bila diterjemah kepada Manglish akan jadi "standing also can."

Image via SAYS.com

Ok tak nak komen lebih-lebih. Jom kita layan lagu GST!

This 30-Year-Old Armless NASCAR Engineer's Story Will Inspire You

WATCH: The unstoppable spirit of Richie Parker, an armless NASCAR engineer

      Unsupported video platform

READ: Richie Parker shows that with passion and determination anything is possible

Richie Parker’s entire life has been a refusal to accept the limitations of his condition. Born without arms, he has heard through his whole life that there were things he simply could not do.

        carbuzz.com

Richie Parker, 30 was born with no hands but is now a vehicle engineer at NASCAR's most winning organization. Hendrick Motorsports.
Image via christianpost.com

But when he invariably decided that he would do those things anyway, he had to be innovative and determined in figuring out how it would be done. This and a longtime love of cars led naturally to a career as an engineer.

        christianpost.com

"I don't listen too much to people when they tell me I can't do something. There's not a whole lot that's gonna stand in my way," says the man who takes pleasure in solving engineering challenges.

        popularhotrodding.com

In May 1983 when Richie Parker was born in Beaufort, S.C., doctors told his parents, Tracy and Lottie Parker, that their son had been born with a non-genetic birth defect called bilateral amelia that left him without arms.

        christianpost.com

Eight years ago, Richie's drive and love for cars led him to apply for an internship at Hendrick Motorsports and a thoughtful decision by Hendrick engineering manager Rex Stump gave Richie the opportunity of a lifetime.

        christianpost.com

Parker has now been at Hendrick for 8 years, through 5 championships, helping to keep them as the winningest team in NASCAR.

        carbuzz.com

Richie was born with bilateral amelia

Image via carbuzz.com

He was born with bilateral amelia, a non-genetic birth defect in which limbs aren't formed. Having dealt with not having any arms since birth has lead Richie to develop a number of interesting solutions.

        autoblog.com

He can ride a bike, open the fridge and microwave on his own, use a computer and drive a car with his feet – virtually everything we can do Richie can do with a bit of determination and creativity.

        christianpost.com

Richie analyzes data to make specs changes that maximize race car performance. He’s a high-level engineer who started as an intern. He does everything with his feet and face.

This healthy, young telecommunication graduate's life took an unfortunate turn when he was diagnosed with a serious illness during a routine medical check-up in January last year, 2015. A CT scan revealed that Surintan has stage 2 Lymphoma, a type of cancer that develops in cells called lymphocytes which are part of the body's immune system in the lymph nodes, spleen and other parts of the body. While speaking to SAYS, Surintan explained that a PET scan after the initial diagnosis revealed that he had tumours in his neck and chest areas.

Instead of the usual feeling of drowning hopelessness, all Surintan felt after the diagnosis was surprise, wondering how he, a vegetarian, outdoorsy individual with no cancer history in the family could have this disease

Surintan spoke about how he has always been an active person, constantly exploring the local nature scene and always on the lookout for something new to explore.

"After two weeks, I told myself that there was no point in crying over spilt milk, so I went on researching about the available treatments and started having some hope."

Determined to beat this disease that could potentially kill him, Surintan started his chemotherapy session in February and stuck to them earnestly till the course of treatment ended in August. After he completed that, he started his radiotherapy in late October, completing the final and 15th session on the eve of Deepavali last year, 2015. Chemotherapy is one of the most commonly used cancer treatment that uses anti-cancer drugs and chemicals to destroy the cancerous cells.This arduous treatment is known to have some very painful side effects, starting with nausea, diarrhea, constipation, physical pain, mouth and throat sores, to name a few.

During the course of his agonising treatment plan, Surintan lost a total of 20kg and was in constant pain with chemotherapy burns on his hand

"The treatment process wasn't easy. I could hardly move my body without feeling flinching pain and sleep didn't come easily. To top it off, I could hardly lift my right hand because of the chemo port. It became worse eventually and I wasn't able to use my right hand for daily chores, making my daily routine even more difficult," said Surintan. After a few sessions, the doctors had to resort to installing the chemo port in Surintan's chest, as the vein in his hand wasn't visible anymore.

In the midst of all those sessions, Surintan admitted to feeling really low and broken, with the heartbreaking realisation that he was unable to start caring for his family as the eldest son

"I felt useless, just wasting away at home," added Surintan, sadly.

"It was at this time that I decided enough was enough," said Surintan, determined to rise above all the pain.

Relying on his tenacious personality and leadership skills from his college days, Surintan made a decision to start picking up the pieces of his life. He decided that the best way to get back on his feet was to not give up, no matter how painful all the moving around gets. He started by learning to grip and hold on to objects, stand up and walk, even with all the searing pain.

To really turn things around and normalise his life again, he started going for brisk walks and continued to regularly exercise, regardless of the complications that arose from the treatments

"My aim was to prove to myself, and my parents that I'm not weak and they don't have to worry about their only son anymore. I slowly started to regain my strength," he said.

Upon completing all his treatments, this brave young man decided to celebrate his second chance at life by joining a hiking trip to Mount Kinabalu

"After completing my radiotherapy, I realised that the only way to fully convince myself that I'm back is to do what I love the best, and going big with it. So, I set my mind on reaching the peak of Mount Kinabalu and made it my only aim," added Surintan excitedly.Mount Kinabalu's height is 4,096 metres (13,438 ft) above the sea level and is part of the World Heritage Site.

"When I reached the peak of Mount Kinabalu, I was really just overwhelmed and all the sufferings of the past year just flashed before my eyes. It was surreal," expressed Surintan.

He started his journey to the peak at 2a.m. and the freezing cold mountain air at 2 degrees Celsius numbed his face but he stayed on and kept hiking, determined to complete his mission and reward himself with the view from the highest mountain in Malaysia. The journey apparently took only about 8 hours over a span of two days, which according to the guide was the average time most hikers take to reach the top of the mountain. "The view was amazing, the clouds, unique plant species, rock formations, everything was just so beautiful." said Surintan.

When asked about his future plans, Surintan expressed his wish to join a telecommunications organisation and continue exploring the world

Surintan stressed that without the unwavering support and love of his family and reading the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, he wouldn't have been able to get through last year. "My family, especially my first sister, was there for me all the time. This journey has taught me various lessons; always learn from your failures and strive to become a better person," advised Surintan.2015 for Surintan was filled with unforgettably painful moments and experiences.However, this man has proved that we have the power to make the best out of everything that happens in life, turning every struggle into a positive lesson.

Like Surintan, these amazing people have been making the best out of life with their sheer strength and kindness:

The Oldest KFC In Penang Is Closing Down For Good After 32 Years Of Operation

It's the end of an era for one of the oldest and most iconic KFC outlets in Malaysia

Image via Instagram @samteoh154

On Friday, 15 March 2019, the KFC outlet in Jalan Larut, Penang will be serving its signature fried chicken for one last time after operating for over 30 years

Image via Instagram @pin7z

A notice displayed at its front door (above) stated the fast food restaurant will cease operations permanently from Saturday, 16 March onwards.It is believed that the landowner is planning to put the land up for sale and hence, will no longer be renting the space out to the fast food chain.

Established in 1987, KFC Larut - as it is affectionately referred to by Penangites - is the first KFC to set up shop in the northern state

Image via Instagram @blackxs666

As such, it holds a special place in many a Penangite's heart. For over three decades, KFC Larut was the hangout spot for first dates, family days out, and of course, birthday parties.

Penang's oldest KFC branch particularly stands out for its unique architecture - the restaurant itself is housed within a 19th century colonial bungalow built by the British in 1830

Image via Instagram @ceipull

Even as the restaurant underwent refurbishments through the years, the building's facade and interior architecture remained pretty much untouched barring additional modern touches like LED lights.

Goodbye, KFC Larut! Thanks for all the childhood memories and fun times. :')

Could There Be Another Toll Hike In 2016?

The government may have to increase the toll rates later this year or risk paying RM1 billion to toll concessionaires as compensation

Image via CBT

Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the government would need over RM1 billion as opposed to the RM500 million set aside at the moment.He explained that this was the amount needed to compensate eight concessionaires of 30 highways if the toll rates were not increased.Fadillah, however, did not clarify as to whether or not there will be an increase in the toll rates.

        thestar.com.my

According to Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, the highway operator could have raised the toll rate last January, but the matter is still under discussion

“For the time being, there is no (toll rate) raise, wait for it (the announcement). We are still negotiating with the highway companies," he said, noting that the toll rates of several concessionaires including Plus Malaysia Bhd and intercity highways were due for increment. He said the government has not decided on the toll hike yet as it is still studying the agreements and looking at various aspects including the high cost of living, government’s financial capability, and highway traffic volume, among others.

        nst.com.my

If you remember the government's promise to reduce toll rates, the current negotiation was also made with that in mind, according to Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof

"We remember, there was a Barisan Nasional (BN) government manifesto on the toll rates between the towns which would not be raised, we are aware of it and we discussed with the concession company," he said. Referring to the BN manifesto, Fadillah said it only involved two highways namely the PLUS Highway and the East Coast Expressway (LPT).He said only these two highways linked the towns and the states, while the other highways in the Klang Valley were not included in the manifesto. However, he said the government took measures to help the people in towns who were burdened by the toll charges including terminating the toll collection for certain roads besides encouraging the concession companies to implement rebate and discount programmes for consumers.
