Itinerari Trip Bajet Indochina (Vietnam, Kemboja, Thailand) Selama 9 Hari Bawah RM1,000!

Sementara usia masih muda ini, antara aktiviti yang paling best boleh dilakukan adalah travel bersama kawan-kawan!

Tapi disebabkan usia masih muda ini jugalah akan terdapat kekangan sedikit terutamanya dari segi kewangan. Kalau boleh nak travel jauh-jauh. Tenaga dan masa ada, tapi duit pula tak ada.

Why Won’t The Swiss Accept A Monthly Income Of RM10,000 From The Government?

What would you do if the Malaysian government were to offer a monthly income that doesn't require you to work for it?
That could be the future of Switzerland as they mull over the idea of providing unconditional 2,500 Swiss francs (RM10,483) basic income for each of its citizens.

Image via The Independent UK

Switzerland is set to vote on a proposal that wants to pay everyone 2,500 Swiss francs (£1,700) a month regardless of whether people are working or not. The initiative also wants to give each child 625 francs a month (£430).If the plans go through, it will become the first country in the world to provide a basic unconditional monthly income, and they are already the first country to vote on the matter.

        independent.co.uk

This newfangled idea comes from a grassroots committee which strives for pay equality, assurance that people have a monthly income despite their employment status and better quality of life

Image via BBC

Organizers submitted more than the 100,000 signatures needed to call a referendum on Friday and tipped a truckload of 8 million five-rappen coins outside the parliament building in Berne, one for each person living in Switzerland.Under Swiss law, citizens can organize popular initiatives that allow the channeling of public anger into direct political action. The country usually holds several referendum a year.

        reuters.com

Why don't they want it?

While most people would easily think that the proposal would win with a popular vote, the Swiss think otherwise.
Nearly 77% of Swiss voters rejected the notion, leaving only 23% supporting the guaranteed basic income for all.

Provisional final results showed 76.9 percent of voters opposed the bold social experiment launched by Basel cafe owner Daniel Haeni and allies in a vote under the Swiss system of direct democracy.Supporters had said introducing a monthly income of 2,500 Swiss francs ($2,563) per adult and 625 francs per child under 18 no matter how much they work would promote human dignity and public service.Opponents, including the government, said it would cost too much and weaken the economy.

        bbc.com

"If you would offer every individual a Swiss amount of money, you would have billions of people who would try to move into Switzerland," opined Luzi Stamm of the right-wing Swiss People's Party.

Image via Fortune

The member of parliament for the right wing party also explained that offering basic income for its people would be a "total impossibility" as the country has open borders policy and has a living standard, reported BBC on 5 June.

Interestingly enough, a survey conducted prior to the voting reveals that most Swiss citizens would still continue working if the guaranteed income plan was approved

According to the Independent UK, only 2% of Swiss residents would stop working if the government offers monthly income, while the remaining 8% said that they "could envisage this possibility depending on circumstances", as reported by the Local.

Had it been approved in Switzerland, each adult would receive a monthly income of 2,500 Swiss francs while children would get 625 francs  each.
In Malaysia, that would translate into approximately RM10,483 for adults and RM2,621 for kids, every single month!

Image via Channel News Asia

Meanwhile, in Malaysia, citizens with a household income of under RM4,000 receive a yearly allowance of RM800 under the BRM1 scheme introduced by the government

While the Swiss government is deciding on providing unconditional basic income, Malaysians are battling with employment problems:

                Why Aren't Young Malaysians Interested In Dirty, Difficult, And Dangerous Jobs?

Low wages, poor working conditions or sheer dislike?

An NGO Founder Has Been Accused Of Sexually Harassing A Trainee Doctor In KL

A university lecturer was arrested to assist in investigations of the alleged molest of a male trainee doctor at a hospital in Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said the 56-year-old man, who is paralysed from the waist down, was arrested at about 5pm on Thursday, 9 July.Malay Mail reported that the wheelchair-bound suspect is also the founder and director of non-governmental organisation (NGO) Islamic Renaissance Front (IRF), a religious organisation that describes itself as an intellectual movement to empower youth."The suspect will have his statement recorded and released on police bail," said Mazlan in a statement after the arrest, adding that police received the report regarding the incident from the victim on 17 February.The suspect has since been released, according to local media reports.

The 27-year-old victim told the police he was allegedly molested at the suspect's office on 4 November 2019 - the first day he reported for work

According to Malaysiakini, the trainee doctor reported that the suspect, who is his supervisor and a specialist doctor, had hugged him after hearing about his financial issues when pursuing his degree abroad."He then started kissing my neck and cheeks," the victim claimed.Mazlan said the young doctor was also initially hesitant to lodge a police report as he feared that his career would be ruined as the accused was an influential person in the industry.After lodging a report in February this year, the complainant again decided not to pursue the case. It was only this week that he asked the police to resume their investigations, the chief clarified.Bernama reported that the case is being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code for using criminal force to outrage the modesty of a person.

The accused has since denied all allegations and described them as a malicious "concerted effort" to tarnish his name

The IRF director welcomed the investigation since it would be an opportunity for him to clear his name.He also added that he will take appropriate legal action to deal with the matter and said the victim only wanted revenge after losing a civil suit to him six years ago.

Several individuals have come forward alleging the activist had molested them as far back as 2014

According to separate reports by Malay Mail and Malaysiakini, a handful of former IRF members said the director had touched them inappropriately on several occasions.These included stroking their arms and legs, hugging them around their waists, and also one other case which resulted in a police report for sexual assault.News reports are withholding the name of the accused as the case has not been brought to court and to secure the confidentiality of the complainants.

These Malaysian organisations aim to help survivors of rape and sexual assault:

Ini Cara Tangani & Elakkan Budaya 'Favouritism' Wujud Di Tempat Kerja. Stay Profesional!

Follow kami di Telegram, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita dan artikel-artikel menarik di SAYS Seismik.

Soal favouritism di tempat kerja bukanlah satu isu yang asing pada zaman ini

Tidak kira syarikat kecil mahupun syarikat besar, pasti timbul isu tersebut. Adalah menjadi tanggungjawab setiap majikan untuk bersikap adil dan profesional di tempat kerja. Namun begitu, masalah sikap pilih kasih masih tidak dapat dielakkan.Sikap pilih kasih dan amalan diskriminasi bukan sahaja akan merosakkan suasana dan keharmonian di tempat kerja malah turut akan menjejaskan reputasi tempat kerja berkenaan.Pihak majikan harus tahu menilai tahap kebolehan serta sumbangan setiap pekerja mereka.

Tak salah kalau nak 'kipas' boss...

Kipas boss ada positifnya, iaitu sebagai tanda untuk menghormati ketua kita. Selain itu, ia juga boleh meningkatkan komunikasi yang baik antara pekerja dan majikan. Bukan itu saja, persaingan yang sihat untuk menjadi pekerja yang terbaik juga berlaku. Namun begitu, padahnya jika perbuatan 'mengipas' sahaja, tanpa melakukan sebarang pekerjaan. Itu yang dikatakan sebagai perkara negatif. Tidak berguna kalau kita 'mengipas' boss tetapi kerja di pejabat pun tak siap. Tambahan lagi, sekiranya amalan ‘kipas boss’ ini berlaku terlalu ketara, maka akan muncul pula puak-puak yang kecil hati kerana mereka bukan pekerja kegemaran majikan.

Gambar sekadar hiasan.

Berikut merupakan cara untuk tangani budaya pilih kasih di pejabat:

1. Fokus perbaiki diri sendiri

Jika dahulunya kita merupakan pekerja yang malas atau lambat buat kerja, ubah sikap malas tersebut. Selain itu, kita boleh tingkatkan juga komunikasi dengan boss, bertanyakan khabar atau meminta feedback tentang kerja kita. Bukan itu saja, kita juga perlu tanamkan dalam fikiran bahawa kita sedang berada di tempat orang. Jadi sebagai pekerja, kita harus mengikut rentak kerja pejabat itu. Seperti pepatah, ‘masuk kandang kambing mengembek, masuk kandang kerbau menguak.’ Selagi apa yang dilakukan majikan tidak menyalahi undang-undang, jadi kita perlu sesuaikan diri dengan tempat kerja. Sekiranya kita rasa tidak selesa dengan tempat kerja tersebut, maka bolehlah beransur bawa diri dengan cara yang baik.

2. Perbaiki kemahiran komunikasi

Mungkin sebelum ini kita kurang bertegur atau bercakap dengan boss. Jadi boss pun susah nak faham kita atau bercakap dengan kita. Mungkin sebab itulah kita kurang dipandang boss, dan hanya rakan sekerja kita yang pandai berkomunikasi dengan boss yang akan lebih banyak dipandang boss. Jangan salah faham perkara ini dengan mengipas atau mengampu boss, kerana ini merupakan perkara biasa di tempat kerja. Kita perlu faham di tempat kerja kita tidak bekerja seorang diri. Mungkin ada beberapa tugasan kita perlukan bantuan rakan sekerja juga. Jadi boleh juga tingkatkan skill komunikasi dengan rakan sekerja, agar sikap kita itu sampai kepada pengetahuan boss. Selepas lakukan semua itu, minta maklum balas daripada boss tentang prestasi kerja kita.

3. Bincang masalah dan penyelesaian dengan majikan

Sekiranya anda berpendapat bahawa majikan masih mengamalkan amalan pilih kasih sehingga termakan racun mengenai cerita yang bukan-bukan tentang diri anda, terus berjumpa dengan boss dan tanya tentang hal tersebut. Mulakan perbualan dengan cara berhemah, dan seterusnya jelaskan hal yang sebenar. Sebagai majikan, mereka juga perlu mendengar cerita daripada kedua-dua pihak dan berlaku adil.Semoga tips dan informasi yang dikongsikan ini dapat dipraktikkan oleh kita bersama.

Over 113,000 People In Singapore Have Received Their 1st Dose Of The COVID-19 Vaccine

In Singapore, the COVID-19 vaccination programme is well underway with over 113,000 people receiving their first dose of the vaccine

The individuals in Singapore received their first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine as of Thursday, 27 January, according to the Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) on Thursday, 28 January.Of which, more than 50 have also received their second dose and completed the full vaccination regimen, with the numbers expected to go up in the coming weeks as vaccination operations continue.

One of the people who received their second dose and completed the full vaccination regimen includes Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong

Lee received his second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on Friday morning, 29 January, at Singapore General Hospital. He had the first dose on 8 January, reported CNA."Just like my first jab, it was quick and painless," Lee wrote in an Instagram post."The doctors watched me for 30 minutes afterwards, just in case. Happy to share that I feel fine," he said urging others to "go for your vaccination when your turn comes".Lee added that getting vaccinated against the COVID-19 will protect not only the individual getting the vaccine but also their family, friends, and everyone they come in contact with.

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Lee Hsien Loong (@leehsienloong)

Meanwhile, 432 adverse events were reported including three cases of anaphylaxis — rapid onset of severe allergic reactions

The three individuals, in their 20s and 30s, developed multiple symptoms such as rash, breathlessness, lip swelling, throat tightness, and giddiness, according to Singapore MOH."All three individuals had a history of allergies, including allergic rhinitis and food allergy such as to shellfish, but none had a history of anaphylaxis which would have precluded them from receiving the vaccine. Anaphylaxis can be controlled when detected and treated in a timely manner," CNA reported.All three have since recovered from the episode and were discharged.

Close to home, the Malaysian government said that it aims to kick-start the national COVID-19 vaccination programme by immunising 75,000 people a day across 600 vaccination sites nationwide from March

While speaking to CodeBlue over the week, Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the daily goal of 75,000 jabs to the arm is the government's first target. The next target, depending on supply, is to administer 150,000 shots a day to take into account the second dose.The government expects to complete vaccination of 27 million people by March 2022.

Malaysia plans to set up 24/7 mass Covid vaccination centres, like stadiums, to reach Dec 2021 target of 80% population coverage (27 mil ppl). @Khairykj is mapping locations for mass vaccination sites, based on population within 10km radius.Read more https://t.co/DR1We8weNG pic.twitter.com/jToH8JZdCY— CodeBlue (@codebluenews) January 27, 2021

Malaysians Can Start Making Calls Using WiFi Soon

Malaysians will be able to make voice calls through a WiFi network soon

Image via IMore

It was reported that local telco U Mobile will be launching a new service - the WiFi Calling feature - this Thursday, 26 May.Last September, Sebastian Barros, vice president of solutions for Ericsson Malaysia and Sri Lanka, revealed that a Malaysian mobile operator was testing this particular feature. He also said that most major telcos in Malaysia are expected to offer WiFi Calling services to their customers by the end of 2016.

What is WiFi Calling?

WiFi Calling is a feature that allows you to use a WiFi network to make and receive phone calls, rather than using the traditional mobile network. This benefits those in poor signal areas, such as rural villages and underground stations, as you'll be able to harness the power of available Wi-Fi networks to stay connected. It's not just calls that are supported though, you can also send and receive texts.

        techradar.com

How is WiFi Calling different than using apps like Skype, WhatsApp, Viber or Facebook Messenger?

Image via Tech News Today

Users may already find themselves using these apps to make and receive calls and texts over a WiFi network. However, when using the WiFi calling feature, users don't need to fire up an app or connect to a service to use it. They can simply set up WiFi Calling as the default way of placing a call, or if they lose a signal, it will automatically switch to WiFi Calling.

Who can use it?

First of all, consumers will need to check if their smartphones are equipped to support the function.  Users with newer smartphone models should be able to use this service.  Besides device compatibility, the mobile carrier also needs to have a WiFi calling system in place.

The first telco to introduce the WiFi Calling feature will definitely have a tremendous first-mover advantage, Barros said

Sebastian Barros, vice president of solutions for Ericsson Malaysia and Sri Lanka.

“Today, the main [reason] people change operators is the experience; pricing is becoming less of an issue."  “So depending on their strategies, WiFi calling can help telcos capture market share,” he added.  Operators can also potentially grow revenue with WiFi calling should they decide to offer it as a value-added service, Barros said.

[VIDEO] Customers Given The Middle Finger After Rearranging Tables At KFC Outlet

Fast food chain KFC seems to have landed itself in hot soup again after a video showing one of its employees making a rude gesture at a group of customers went viral

Image via Ampang 安邦's Facebook

The incident was reported to have happened at KFC Taman Putra sometime after 2pm on 25 April. According to the FB post, a group of 15 to 20 students had gone to the restaurant for lunch after their co-curricular events.

To accomodate for their party, the group had rearranged the tables to form a long table so as to fit all of them in one place. They then asked the staff to help them clean up the leftovers on the tables.

At that, one staff member asked them why they had rearranged the tables and allegedly ordered them to re-organise the tables to their original positions after they were done.
She then proceeded to clean up their tables in a manner that the uploader described as "full of anger and dissatisfaction".

"The staff gave us an unusual reaction by asking us why we arranged the table like that and we were sure that the table did not obstruct the walkway as we just turned it from horizontal to vertical so we can join the table in longish arrangement to fit our huge number of friends. She began to raise her voice and requested us to organize back the table and seats back to original order after we are finished with our feast. Firstly, why would it be a good idea for her to ORDERED us to do as such? We were the clients right? Then and there, we really don’t mind to help to reorganize the table and chairs, but rather why she have to let us know in the discourteous way? Then she cleaned the residue with full of anger and dissatisfaction, as in, throw the rubbish or place the tray so hardly and loud as if to release anger and demonstrate pride," stated the post.

The matter did not end there. The staff member - identified by her name tag as Nureen - returned to take photos of the group, prompting them to record the following video:

以下是一件抓破头皮都想不通的事，希望让大家知道和分享这件很“牛”的故事。学校的课外活动结束后，同学们打算到Taman Putra的KFC用午餐。我们人数大约有十五至二十人。因为位子不够，我们便分开坐但是位子还是不够，所以把几张桌子连起来，能够让大家坐在一起。当我们拍好了桌椅，便请求侍应生来帮忙收拾桌子（上个顾客吃的盘子，tissue，骨头）。当侍应生来的时候，说我们不应该自己擅自乱排桌椅。还说，我们乱乱排，会挡着她的出入，影响别人，我们可以非常确定我们的排法并没有阻碍到什么，原本桌子与桌子之间的距离还是一样。还有以我们的人数，你打算让我们分开四个四个坐，逻辑吗？她，侍应生开始大声的跟我们呛声，说“你们最好用餐完了跟我排回去，”第一， 您觉得侍应生是否应该“吩咐”顾客做某某事吗？刚开始我们就觉得随便啦，回的时候我们帮你排回去吧，不会少了块肉的。但是发指的是，她帮我们抹干净桌子时，那个脸是无比的臭，垃圾跟盘子乱砸，故意弄到大大声好像要给我知道，她“不爽”。但是，她并不知道我们已经开始注意她要玩什么花样，看到了她挂在胸前的名字标签纽，她叫做Nureen，巫裔女子。但她的种种不爽，我们还能接受，以为她只是压力大没什么。第二次当她回来时，我们看见她的名字标签纽已经摘下。我们觉得有点奇怪。她开始给我们一些很奇怪的眼神，瞪着我们。突然间，我们吃东西的时候，我们听见快门的声音“咔嚓”，她在一旁偷拍我们。不止一张，还360度全方位拍摄。这我们就不能忍受了，感觉被威胁。我们只不过是吃个东西，做错了什么？当她还不放弃拍我们，只好拿出手机录下她拍我们的那一刻。震惊的是，她知道我们录影时，还对我们比个“中指”。粗鲁的服务态度，我们可以容忍，但是“中指”，是文明社会该有的吗？KFC雇佣员工的制度，是那么失败的吗？这是干服务业该有的态度吗？服务税，难道是给爽的吗？我们虽然是学生，但是我们不是只买汽水，干聊三四个小时的啊。我们是花真金白银吃东西的顾客啊。只求KFC能够给一个适当的解释并且对此事采取行动。Good evening Mr/Mrs,Lunch in KFC Taman Putra on 25th April 2015 around 2pm++ after we had finished the school curricular events. We were in an enormous group like 15 to 20 people. We arranged our own particular table and seats and we asked for the staff to help us to clean up the chaos on the table after we done arranging our own table. Even so, the staff gave us an unusual reaction by asking us why we arranged the table like that and we were sure that the table did not obstruct the walkway as we just turned it from horizontal to vertical so we can join the table in longish arrangement to fit our huge number of friends. She began to raise her voice and requested us to organize back the table and seats back to original order after we are finished with our feast. Firstly, why would it be a good idea for her to ORDERED us to do as such? We were the clients right? Then and there, we really don’t mind to help to reorganize the table and chairs, but rather why she have to let us know in the discourteous way? Then she cleaned the residue with full of anger and dissatisfaction, as in, throw the rubbish or place the tray so hardly and loud as if to release anger and demonstrate pride. We looked at her name tag and recognized her name as Nureen. We thought ok, maybe she is a bit too stress for her job or what. After a while, she went down and came up again to the second floor. This time, the name tag has already been removed. We wondered why. Then she started to give us weird glance and took our photo silently. Sadly, she din silent her shuttle sound. When we realize that, we look at her and wanted to take a photo of her because we started to feel threatening. What have we done wrong until she wanted to take our photo? We really don’t understand. We were just there for our lunch, why was it so wrong? She then showed her middle finger to us which we really feel that that is a bit too over. We can tolerate the rude attitudes, but why was it showing middle finger? Did KFC really filter there staff properly? Why the staff has such low emotional quotient when they are actually in the service line? We are paying the service tax and this is the service that we deserve? We are student, but we were not eating free in the restaurant, why we deserve this kind of treatment? We are looking for a good explanation from them. Please share this as we want KFC to response on this and take prompt and instantaneous action to the particular staff.Disclaimer: We are saying "zoom zoom zoom"  in the video because to see her face clearly, not provoking her.Posted by Ampang 安邦 on Sunday, 26 April 2015

Predictably, the video sparked no small amount of outrage from Facebook users, who remarked on the lack of supervision from the store's manager as well as the blatant disrespect and rudeness displayed by the staff member in question

However, there were also some who urged the public to not jump into conclusions before getting the employee's side of the story, suggesting that the act may have been provoked and that the "customer is always right" mentality is not always applicable

Whether or not the group of students had any part in inciting such a dramatic reaction from the KFC employee, the general consensus it that she should not have made the rude gesture especially since she was aware that she was being recorded

Meanwhile, KFC has issued an apology in response to the video. The statement also confirms that the employee in question has been suspended following an internal investigation and assures the public that KFC will continue to strengthen their existing training programs.

[PHOTOS] 11 Things That Truly Show How Small The Mac Pro Actually Is

We've all heard that Apple's new Mac Pro is smaller than the old one. But to really get just how small it is, you need to see it in person—or at least next to something familiar.

The new Mac Pro next to an older Mac Pro

Image via techhive.com

It's refreshingly smaller than a gallon of water

Image via techhive.com

It's even smaller than a regulation-size basketball (specifically, the 94Fifty Smart Sensor Basketball)

Image via techhive.com

It's smalller than Apple's current 15-inch MacBook Pro

Image via techhive.com

Even a bathroom trash can is bigger than the Mac Pro

Image via techhive.com

Now, this is getting ridiculous. It's even smaller than a size-11 hiking boot.

Image via techhive.com

Apparently, it is so small it can fit inside a breadbox. Seen here alongside a partially eaten loaf of bread.

Image via techhive.com

Even smaller than Apple's iPad Air. Suddenly, the iPad Air doesn't look so small anymore.

Sigh. Even smaller than a Keurig coffee maker.

So, apparently, even an Our Generation Doll is much bigger than the Mac Pro.

New York City Buildings Collapse: Death Toll Raises To 8 As Rescue Operations Still On

Rescuers have found the body of an eighth victim following a gas leak and explosion that demolished two buildings in Harlem, New York City.

Telescopic cameras and sound devices have been deployed to search small spaces in the wreckage. Less than 50% of debris has been removed from the site after Wednesday's incident, which injured more than 60. "We have to think of survivors and work in that way, with hope," Fire Department of New York Chief Edward Kilduff told US media of the ongoing operation.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio Said That Search And Rescue Operations Would Continue "For An Open-Ended Period Of Time"

He said below-freezing temperatures and heavy winds that whipped up smouldering fires at the site were affecting recovery efforts. “This has been a very painful episode for the people of East Harlem,” de Blasio said. “There are still a lot of unknowns here.”

Clouds of thick smoke billowed from the rubble of the apartment buildings that sat above a ground-level church and a piano store in a largely Latino working-class neighborhood. Officials declined to give a number of people still missing.

Mayor Bill de Blasio, who rushed to the scene in East Harlem, where a cascade of twisted and burnt metal blocked the sidewalk and covered parked cars, said preliminary information showed the explosion was caused by a gas leak.

Orangutan Shows Exactly Why You Shouldn't Feed Them When Visiting Zoo Negara

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

Zoo Negara recently explained why visitors should not feed their orangutans after capturing a funny moment from one of its residents

In a TikTok video posted by the national zoo last month, an orangutan named Maya is seen casually walking towards a visitor.

While still remaining within the enclosure, Maya pauses to stand up, and seemingly looks around to check if anyone is watching her next move

Image via @znmzoonegaramalaysia (TikTok)

It all seemed normal until the cheeky animal casually bends down to remove something from her foot and flings it into the air towards the cameraman.

Image via @znmzoonegaramalaysia (TikTok)

The cameraman immediately pans out the video to see what the 'surprise gift' was

And this was the gift:

A poor hostage is seen quickly hopping away, relieved to have been set free.

Maya has since earned herself a reputation in the 'hood'

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Dzulkefly Ahmad announced yesterday, 8 April, that the sugar tax will not be imposed on the drinks ordered from restaurants and eateries

"There are no plans to extend the tax to eateries and restaurants offering sugary drinks," Dzulkefly was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today. "We will look into that aspect, but not at the moment," he added.The Health Minister made the announcement after launching the World Health Day celebration yesterday.

The tax, which will come into effect in July, will only be imposed on manufacturers for the time being

"It is better to educate the public not to take coloured sweet drinks served in any restaurants," Dzulkefly said, according to New Straits Times. "That is the only way to encourage them to not take sweet drinks. Nothing by regulation," he added.

Carbonated drinks, flavoured drinks, and other non-alcoholic beverages will be subjected to the tax beginning 1 July

A tax of 40 sen per litre will be imposed on drinks containing sugar or sweeteners exceeding 5g per 100ml, and fruit and vegetable juices with a sugar content exceeding 12g per 100ml. Free Malaysia Today reported that the sugar tax was postponed to July to allow manufacturers and the Customs Department time to make preparations.


M'sian City Life #4: The Guy Who ‘Works’ Weekends To Find Homes For Abandoned Strays

A weekend for most of us would usually mean hanging out with friends or just lounging around lazily at home.
But, guess what this young man does on weekends — he stands under the blazing sun outside of AEON Bukit Tinggi Shopping Centre, with a "Rescued Puppy For Adoption" sign hung around his neck, all for the sake of stray animals.

Image via Francis Poh

Francis, who is from Klang, Selangor, has done this several times. The animal rescuer would stand in public places, usually outside of AEON Bukit Tinggi, and wait for people to come up to him to adopt the puppies or kittens that he has rescued.

Image via Francis Poh

"I only did this once at Desa Park City, and it wasn’t a good place to go. I was chased away by the security guards wherever I went because I have these puppies. Perhaps I should have asked for a permit or approval first."When asked on why he chose this method of standing outside malls for adoption drives, Francis told SAYS that, "I always see puppies on my Facebook timeline and people often tag me whenever they see a puppy that needs a home. To me, the competition is quite tough for puppies on social media. This method allows people to actually see the puppies, thus making the process easier than just posting up photos on Facebook."

"The way I see it, at least people will see and recognise my effort, so they would adopt from me rather than those that usually post photos on Faceook," added Francis hopefully.

Francis standing outside of AEON Bukit Tinggi with a puppy that he rescued for an adoption drive in September 2015.
Image via Francis Poh

"The chances of them getting adopted by posting just photos on Facebook can be pretty low. For example, when I rescued about seven puppies, I posted up on Facebook that they are all up for adoption. Three weeks later, there wasn't even a single response to that post, " explained Francis."So, when standing outside public spaces like this, I get more attention and almost 95 percent of the time, the adoption drive is a success.""Last Saturday, 30 January, I did this adoption drive again but the turn out wasn't that great. However, at least I got a lot of coverage from people sharing my story. When people share, others will see my photo and they might be interested in this hands-on method of adopting puppies."

"By doing this, I hope that I will keep inspiring more people to be more interested in lending a helping hand, be it for humans or animals and giving them a chance to live. I think that is the most beautiful thing someone can do for another person."

Image via Francis Poh

"I would say that it's a very rewarding feeling to know that I have done something for another life. I don't quite know how to put it in words, but whenever someone adopts a puppy, I am genuinely touched and happy because I have helped a stray find a family, instead of just becoming yet another stray dog."

This 33-year-old runs his own business in the entertainment and events industry. Although he is usually tied up with work, Francis has been diligently rescuing animals for the past three years. He also rescues reptiles and even exotic pets like pangolins and owls!

Image via Francis Poh

"I usually only accept reptiles and help out with dogs' and cats' rescue missions if I happen to witness one. I've come to a point where I want to educate people so that they don't just share news about things like this, but instead rescue and run adoption drives themselves.""People should take ownership if they want to rescue. I will give you my full support by providing you all the contacts needed and any other assistance, but you must take responsibility for the stray animals that you find.""I'll guide you all the way and even tell you details on the most affordable vet services and which pet taxi is the cheapest, " said Francis.

"I am quite lucky because I have done this for many years, so I have quite a number of supporters. Whenever I post up (on social media) that I need funds for the rescued animals, people do bank in money for me, and I’m very honest about all the money involved."

Image via Francis Poh

"To be honest, maybe reptiles don't cost me much money but it's different for street puppies and kittens. Those honestly cost me a lot of time and money. For example, I need to arrange transport to send them to the vet. It takes up a lot of energy. Rescuing 6 puppies cost me almost RM 1,800.""I do not ever, I never, touch any single cent from the adoption money as it is purely for them (the puppies and kittens)."

For the past three years, Francis has been feeding about 20 stray dogs, every night, without fail using the funds that he receives from his kind supporters to buy kibble supplies for the dogs

Image via Francis Poh

"I’ve put a lot of effort to catch the dogs one by one to spay them. Most of the time I do it alone unless those dogs are unusually difficult, I will get my friends to come and help me," Francis said. "Today, I have successfully spayed almost all of the dogs that I’ve been feeding. They shall not produce anymore. I’ve done my part as an animal rescuer and animal lover. I feed them and I spay them. That’s as much as I can do as an individual."Francis recalled having seven friends to help in a spaying project. He didn't personally know them as he only got in touch with them through Facebook, but these people came together and helped him rescued four dogs."That was my biggest and proudest rescue mission ever."

Living in the city ain’t a piece of cake but it could also be exciting and adventurous. How are you coping? How are you making the best out of things? Do you have a story or experience to share?

2. Thirdwave @ Nexus Bangsar South

The coffee enthusiasts at Thirdwave are so serious about their java they established a special coffee counter just to educate you about hand-brewed coffee. Thirdwave gets beans from a variety of sources including Three Little Birds, and the resulting brew is a full-bodied coffee that pairs well with the upside-down starfruit cake, the root beer float cupcake, and – if you can handle it – the papaya cheesecake.

4. Pulp by Papa Palheta @ Bangsar

A high ceiling, a blue paper-cutting machine repurposed into a coffee bar, and a space bathing in sunlight – this might just be the prettiest café in Bangsar yet. Although the stellar coffee and desserts here encourage lingering, the owners insist that Pulp be described as a coffee retailer and supplier, rather than as a café. Get serious in a cupping room where you learn from baristas who work their gear with topflight technique. Or marvel at the mementos of the warehouse over a Blue Batak brew.

"Please Remove The Money ASAP!" — Woman Shares Why Money Bouquets Are A Terrible Gift Idea

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

Thinking of taking an ordinary bouquet up a notch by replacing the roses with paper flowers made out of banknotes?
In a Facebook post published today, 22 March, a woman shared why a money bouquet is a terrible gift idea.

"If any of you have a money bouquet with banknotes folded into roses, please remove the money (from the bouquet) as soon as possible!" the woman who does not wish to be named in this article warned members of the public.In the post, she attached four photos showing her bouquet and several crumpled RM100 notes."I stumbled across a post the other day and I saw banknotes in a bouquet were damaged after being left with flowers for too long," she related."So today, I decided to take mine part. It took me a lot of time to carefully remove (the banknotes from the bouquet)."

Image via Facebook

As a person with little patience, she said the process infuriated her

She said the person who assembled her paper flowers made out of banknotes used hot glue to make the design hold together, and in some parts, too much hot glue was used.According to her, she left the bouquet untouched for merely two months. While she was removing the money from the bouquet, she could not help but damage some of the banknotes."If it was left longer, it could be more difficult to disassemble," the woman shared."Some florists use hot glue. Maybe you can choose other types of sticking method (to hold the paper flowers in place)."

Image via Facebook

However, the woman's best advice is to avoid gifting money bouquets altogether to save yourself the trouble

"To the men who want to gift a money bouquet to women, my personal advice is to either use another folding method or just give the money straight away," she said."It is either you gift (real) flowers or you gift money. Don't trouble yourself.""Someone has to fold it, someone has to take it apart. And you have to pay for the labour fee.""This kind of paper flowers made out of banknotes are not recommended at all," she added while laughing.She said seeing the money getting crumpled made her feel unhappy.

Image via Facebook

Speaking to SAYS, she said the bouquet had 10 pieces of RM100 notes in total.

At the time of writing, the post has gone viral with over 8,000 shares

In the comment section, thousands of netizens found the woman's advice amusing as well as practical at the same time."If you want to give me, just give me money. It's not suitable to give me a money bouquet because I can't bring myself to remove the banknotes," said a netizen while tagging her other half in the comment."Don't pay for the labour fee. Save that money and give it to me altogether," commented another person while tagging her friend.

Image via Facebook

"I received paper flowers made out of banknotes once and it took me two hours to remove the money. The banknotes were wrinkled. In the end, I scolded my husband. So, he changed his method next time by just placing the money on the bouquet. No banknotes were wrinkled and it's beautiful," commented one Facebook user while sharing photos of two different bouquets.

Image via Facebook

Meanwhile, one netizen shared photos of their money bouquets, saying that no hot glue or cables were used while assembling the bouquets.

Getting a luxury bag can be a surreal experience for some and most would want to flaunt it as soon as they buy their own.
Unfortunately for one woman in Singapore, there was no chance for her to flaunt her new Louis Vuitton bag because she came home with an empty box.

In a TikTok video uploaded by @annapooty on Monday, 12 December, the Singaporean got the shock of her life when she bought a SGD2,400 (RM7,800) Alma BB Ebene Damier Canvas handbag from a Louis Vuitton store located in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, on 9 December, only to find it missing later.Upon realising her bag's disappearance, she immediately called the Louis Vuitton hotline. After several unsuccessful attempts to contact the store, they finally got back to her. According to the store's representative, they informed the woman that their closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras captured her leaving the store with two bags and that their stocks tallied.Further probing them for an answer to this situation, the store allegedly told her that they were not ruling out the possibility that a crime took place in their store. She felt that the store was implying that she left her bag unattended and someone stole it from under her nose.Unsatisfied with their answer, the Singaporean claimed that they "tried to gaslight" her and shift the blame.

Undeterred by the store's reluctance to solve the issue, the Singaporean took matters into her own hands and lodged a police report on 11 December

Once the report was lodged, the police reportedly called the store to investigate the issue further.Coincidentally, the woman said that the store found her bag after the police contacted them and asked for her to come and pick it up.According to the store, a mix-up occurred between her and another guest's items. The store claimed that the customer had asked for an empty box as a decoration piece and the empty box got mixed up with the one containing the woman's bag. Once at the store to claim what was rightfully hers, the Louis Vuitton staff returned her precious bag and even gave her a bottle of champagne for the inconveniences she had to face.Reunited with her luxurious purchase, @annapooty said that her heart no longer feels heavy.

Others questioned @annapooty as to why she didn't notice she was carrying an empty box home, as it would have felt strangely light. Some also claimed that she should have asked the store assistants to pack the bag in front of her.

Lately, a mother who works from home has gotten Malaysians' attention after she revealed that she makes a four-figure income by selling Super Ring to Americans

In an interview with mStar, Adilah Ibrahim, who works as an e-commerce trader, said she has seen a surge in demand for Super Ring since late February."I have been doing business on eBay almost a year now and I get requests from foreigners, especially those in the United States, to buy things that don't even make sense," Rabiatul related."For example, recently, I received a high demand for Super Ring. That's strange, too."

"The demand came from the United States because I list the snacks on eBay," said the mother of three.

			Imagine, one bag of the snack cost RM1.60 here, but it can be sold for up to USD12 (RM51) there.

She continued that she had in the past received a large order of mosquito repellants."Once, I received an order for 24 boxes of mosquito repellants in two to three days. And the request came from Finland," Adilah related."In my head, I was thinking there must be a lot of mosquitoes there. These are some of the unique items I have sold."

On her website, Adilah said she also sells toothpaste, bitter beans, and pandan leaves to shoppers from all around the world
