Foreign students will have to learn Bahasa Melayu when they are studying at universities in Malaysia, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Saturday, 19 March

According to Free Malaysia Today, the Prime Minister has spoken to Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad about the matter and she has agreed with the move.Besides that, Ismail also announced that the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) Act  will be amended to include enforcement powers."The DBP Act will be strengthened by giving DBP the enforcement powers. For example, [for] the use of Bahasa Melayu on signboards, DBP can take action against language abuse," Bernama quoted him as saying at the 2021 UMNO General Assembly at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.

Ismail told party members at the assembly that they must champion the use of Bahasa Melayu, which he hopes would become ASEAN's second language

He said efforts to uphold the national language are in line with Article 152 of the Federal Constitution and Clause 3.5 of the UMNO Constitution.In a circular issued to agencies, ministries, and government-linked companies (GLCs), they are instructed to use Bahasa Melayu in their programmes."The time has come for us to be proud of Bahasa Melayu. Therefore, there is no reason for us to feel awkward when speaking the language even on the international stage because bahasa jiwa bangsa (language is the soul of the nation)," said the UMNO vice president, reported Bernama.

According to him, Bahasa Melayu is spoken by over 300 million people in ASEAN and is the seventh most widely used language in the world

During his official visits to Cambodia and Thailand last month, Ismail said he used Bahasa Melayu during a press conference with the leaders of the two countries and would do the same during his visit to Vietnam on Sunday, 20 March.

Previously, the Prime Minister pushed for broader use of the language internationally, instructing government officials to use Bahasa Melayu while speaking at conferences and other engagements abroad, reported Free Malaysia Today.

6 Tempat Paling Berhantu Di Malaysia Yang Harus Anda Tahu. Errr.. Serius Seram!

1. Highland Tower

Image via Ratu Perang/Facebook

Tragedi Highland Towers merupakan tragedi runtuhan yang sangat menggemparkan satu ketika dulu. Tragedi nahas yang meragut 48 nyawa ni bermula apabila satu daripada tiga blok kondominium di Taman Hillview, Ulu Klang, Selangor, runtuh pada 11 Disember 1993. Tragedi tersebut adalah satu-satunya tragedi bangunan runtuh yang pertama dan terburuk setelah Malaysia mencapai kemerdekaan. Highland Towers merupakan tiga blok pangsapuri 12 tingkat yang dinamakan Blok 1, Blok 2 dan Blok 3. Selepas kejadian itu pelbagai perkara seram telah berlaku di tapak lokasi kejadian tersebut antaranya kelihatan kelibat makhluk tanpa kepala dan sering juga kedengaran suara wanita menangis di tengah kepekatan malam.

2. Lebuhraya Karak

Image via www.panoramio.com

Lebuhraya karak mula dibina pada 1970 dan mula dibuka kepada orang ramai pada 1977. Lebuhraya ini menghubungkan Kuala Lumpur dengan Karak dan jaraknya lebih kurang 60.0 km. Lebuhraya ini mempunyai sepasang terowong di kawasan peranginan terkenal iaitu Genting Highland.Terdapat pelbagai kisah misteri dan seram mengenai lebuhraya ini yang dikatakan berhantu. Antaranya paling popular kisah VOLKSWAGEN KUNING.Selalunya pemandu akan dikacau selepas terowong karak..Kereta ini akan memotong kereta anda dan selepas itu dia akan bawa perlahan tanpa pemandu di dalamnya.Puncanya dipercayai bermula dari sebuah kisah seorang isteri curang yang telah membunuh suaminya dengan kejam dan kemudian merampas kereta Volkswagen kuning milik suaminya.Sang suami mati sambil menyimpan rasa dendam yang membara untuk memiliki semula Volkswagen kuning tersebut. Kenyataannya, jika benar hantu Volkswagen kuning ini wujud dan pernah dilihat orang, maka itu adalah jin (keturunan iblis yang bergelar jembalang), bukan si suami malang yang mati dibunuh kejam.

3. Amber Court Genting Highlands

Amber court adalah dua bangunan apartmen berkembar di pinggir Genting Highland yang dikatakan berhantu dan merupakan lokasi sering berlakunya kejadian bunuh diri bagi orang yang kalah judi di Genting Highlands. Amber Court juga dikatakan mempunyai sebuah bilik misteri yang berpalang kononnya tempat menyimpan hantu kasino di Genting Highlands. Terdapat pelbagai kisah seram yang diceritakan mengenai bangunan ini antaranya penginap akan mengalami kejadian aneh seperti TV terpasang sendiri dan penginap juga pernah menemui satu lembaga tanpa kepala sedang mendukung anak di dalam lif.

4. Taman Tema Mimaland Gombak

Image via Ratu Perang/Facebook

Taman rekreasi ini terkenal pada era 80an dan ia mula dibina pada tahun 1971. Nama Mimaland yang agak unik itu sebenarnya adalah singkatan daripada gabungan perkataan Malaysia In Miniature Land. Ia dibina di sebuah kawasan berbukit seluas 300 ekar di Ulu Gombak tidak jauh dari Kuala Lumpur. Pembinaan Mimaland dibuat dalam beberapa fasa dan dibuka secara berperingkat.Setelah bertahun-tahun Mimaland menceriakan hidup ramai orang, sesuatu yang tidak diingini berlaku. Satu kemalangan telah terjadi di kawasan papan luncur air gergasi Mimaland pada Januari 1993 yang menyebabkan kematian seorang warganegara Singapura berusia 27 tahun. Kejadian malang itu mengejutkan orang ramai hingga memaksa pihak Mimaland menutup sementara kawasan yang terlibat iaitu kolam renang dan papan luncurnya bagi dilakukan kerja-kerja penambahbaikan. Pada Mei 1994 pula, berlaku kerosakan pada dinding kolam renang yang sama yang berpunca daripada kejadian kecil tanah runtuh hingga menyebabkan air lumpur memasuki kolam renang tersebut. Sekali lagi, kawasan tersebut ditutup kepada orang ramai.Kini lokasi Mimaland terbiar begitu sahaja dan ramai juga orang bercerita mengenai kisah seram di lokasi tersebut antaranya kelibat manusia tanpa kepala dan sering kedengaran suara suara menyeramkan di kawasan itu apabila senja menjelma.

5. Institut St Michael, Ipoh

Pada zaman perang dunia kedua, sekolah ini telah digunakan oleh tentera Jepun sebagai ibu pejabat mereka. Pada ketika itu tentera Jepun sering menggunakan sekolah ini untuk menjalankan aktiviti penyiksaan terhadap tawanan perang. Terdapat juga banyak terowong-terowong yang dibina oleh tentera Jepun untuk tujuan penyiksaan dan penyimpanan makanan. Kawasan paling berhantu di sekolah ini ialah di gereja kecil yang terletak di sekolah ini. Kelihatan seorang mubaligh kristian berjubah hitam tanpa kepala sering duduk berdoa menghadap pintu pada waktu pagi. Kebanyakan orang yang pernah melihatnya merahsiakan perkara ini.

6. Victoria Institution, Kuala Lumpur

Image via wikimapia.org

Kawasan ini merupakan satu kawasan sekolah bagi kanak-kanak lelaki. Ia lebih dikenali sebagai V.I dan pelajar-pelajar di sekolah ini menggelarkan diri mereka sebagai Victorian. Semasa pendudukan Jepun, ramai askar-askar British disiksa dan dibunuh di sekolah ini terutama di ruang bawah tanah. Banyak kejadian kerasukan di mana para pelajar akan berkelakuan pelik dan ganas yang boleh mencederakan orang di sekelilingnya. Ini dikaitkan dengan banyak roh yang berkeliaran dikawasan tersebut. Memang seram!Sumber: Ratu Perang

Chinese People Hate It That Their Expensive Japanese Toilet Seats Are Made In China

The good people of China have been flying to Japan to buy toilet seats. Yes, you read it right, toilet seats.

Image via carbonated.tv

A large number of Chinese tourists rushed to Japan to buy toilet seats during this past Spring Festival holiday. The item is popular among Chinese consumers because they are equipped with a variety of auxiliary functions such as heating and sanitizing.

        asiaone.com

Apparently, Japan produces some of the finest toilet seats in the market, complete with fancy single-stream sprays bidet systems.

Don't play play, the Wall Street Journal says these bidet toilet seats are masterpieces of Japanese creativity and consideration, featuring warm water options, heated seats and the ability to kill germs and unwanted odors.

It is so prized amongst the Chinese that Chinese tour groups have been seen cleaning out all the stock in Japanese stores

News segments on the shopping frenzy shown on Chinese state television showed a Japanese store manager bemused by herds of Chinese tour groups who take just one afternoon to clean out, so to speak, his entire store.

        wsj.com

They were even seen fighting over it in duty-free stores. Mind you, these Japanese toilet seats are not cheap at 2,000 yuan (RM1,163) a pop.

Image via postimg.org

So imagine their faces when they find out that these fancy toilet seats that they had bought in Japan was actually made in China

Image via wordpress.com

Cue anger, shock, and angry Chinese complaints

One blogger penned a short poem inspired by the discovery: “The flower blossoms inside the wall but is fragrant outside, national products are made in China but looted overseas…the reasons behind this are worth considering.” (墙内开花墙外香，国货国外被抢光，出口内销不一样，此中原由费思量.)

        qz.com

One guy flew all the way to Osaka to buy a Panasonic toilet lid. That precious cover was actually manufactured in his hometown of Hangzhou.

One of these visitors, a man from Hangzhou with the surname Wang, posted on Weibo that he was surprised to discover that Panasonic toilet lids on sale in Osaka were made near his hometown, in Hangzhou’s manufacturing district of Xiasha. He told Sina News, “I can’t believe I came this far to buy something manufactured on my doorstep. Doesn’t that just make me a porter?”

        qz.com

That's not even the most ironic part of this story yet. As it turns out, these Japanese toilet seats are in fact sold in China, at a cheaper price, with even better functions.

One model sells for 2980 yuan ($475) in China but about 59,000 yen ($492) in Japan, according to Li. The Chinese version even comes with an extra moisture protection function that the Japanese model doesn’t.

        qz.com

Perhaps the thought of owning foreign goods help some people sleep better at night

If not, what can we say but irony stinks

We're not sure if this is a toilet seat or computer.

You know what else stinks? This Guan Yin Ma's face, but who could blame her

A Bank Officer's FB Threat Against Sarawak Veterinary Personnel Has Landed Him In Jail

Earlier today, 7 January, a 34-year-old bank officer was arrested from his house at BDC Stampin in Kuching for allegedly posting a threat against the Sarawak Veterinary Services Department

The bank officer had allegedly incited followers of a Facebook page to set up roadblocks and release the captured strays, according to Sarawak CID chief Datuk Dev Kumar, who added that the suspect also suggested using extreme measures."His mobile phone was seized and he is currently being detained for further investigation, Dev Kumar said in a statement to the Borneo Post Online.

The Veterinary Department had lodged a police report over comments on a Facebook page, which aims to save stray dogs

The threats were allegedly made against public officials rounding up stray dogs in anti-rabies operations in Sarawak, reported Channel NewsAsia.The Veterinary Department had announced a "mass stray removal" operation after 28 areas in Sarawak were declared rabies outbreak zones.The announcement, which said that stray and free-roaming dogs will be caught and put down within 48 hours if unclaimed, had reportedly angered animal lovers.

Authorities are now working to locate another Facebook user who suggested killing personnel involved in the operation

"A Facebook account holder suggested to kill personnel involved in the operation to catch stray dogs while another suggested to set up a roadblock to release captured strays and to use extreme measures to prevent the operation," Channel NewsAsia quoted Dev Kumar as saying.The Facebook user who suggested killing Veterinary Personnel has been identified.

The State CID chief warned those who may be inclined to prevent the veterinary services personnel from carrying out their duties

"The police are not amused by the threats issued against public servants entrusted to do their job in accordance with the law."Any attempt to use force, cause harm or prevent public servants from carrying out their duties was an offence under the law," Dev Kumar added.

"Kak Long (Rohana) moved her car to slightly higher ground and she was also able to move some important items to a safer place," Rodiah said

"But then Kak Long realised that the water level had already reached where the car was parked," the younger sister told Malaysiakini."When she wanted to move her car again the residents there advised her to immediately get going because the water level was rising rapidly."

The next thing they knew, their entire house had been washed away

"Only the staircase is left. All other items in the house could not be saved, including important documents such as her MyKad," Rodiah related."Whatever it is, we are relieved that Kak Long is safe."

Viral Kisah Budak Perempuan Ajak Pekerja Asing Main ‘Board Game’ Ini Buat Ramai Tersentuh!

Ibarat pepatah, 'melentur buluh, biarlah dari rebungnya', ibu bapa perlu mendidik dan mencorakkan identiti anak-anak sejak mereka masih kecil

Salah satu perkara yang penting untuk ditanamkan dalam diri anak-anak ialah adab. Mengajar adab merupakan tanggungjawab utama ibu bapa yang sepatutnya dibiasakan sejak kecil lagi.

Gambar adalah sekadar hiasan.
Image via Image via The Asian Parent Singapore

Paling utama sekali, ibu bapa itu sendiri perlu menunjukkan contoh yang baik dimata anak-anak kerana dikhuatiri akan senang terikut-ikut dengan perbuatan yang tidak sepatutnya.

Bukan itu sahaja, anak-anak juga perlu mengamalkan adab-adab yang baik bukan hanya kepada ibu bapa, malah kepada sesiapa saja. Walaupun perkara ini tidak berunsur akademik, namun tidak dinafikan nilai kesopanan ini adalah tunjang kejayaan anak-anak pada masa hadapan.

Baru-baru ini, seorang pengguna Facebook bernama Yang Kaiheng telah berkongsikan mengenai layanan sepupunya terhadap beberapa orang warga asing yang membuat dirinya terharu

Menerusi postingnya itu, Kaiheng telah berkongsikan satu gambar menunjukkan sepupunya sedang bermain permainan papan atau board game di halaman rumah bersama tiga orang pekerja asing sementara menunggu hujan reda.Menurut wanita dari Singapura itu lagi, ini sebenarnya bukanlah kali pertama sepupunya itu berinteraksi bersama pekerja-pekerja tersebut. Malahan sebelum ini sepupu kecilnya selalu memberi mereka air di samping mengajak mereka bermain-main bersamanya.

Image via Image via Yang Kaiheng (Facebook)

Difahamkan juga, salah seorang daripada pekerja asing itu mempunyai anak kecil yang sebaya sepupu Kaiheng di kampung halaman yang sangat dirinduinya, dan ternyata kanak-kanak itu telah mengingatkannya kepada anaknya.

Di akhir perkongsiannya, Kaiheng telah meluahkan harapan agar anaknya sendiri akan membesar dengan nilai-nilai yang diterapkan dalam sepupunya itu. Dia juga mengatakan bahawa adab yang baik ini harus diajar kepada kanak-kanak pada usia muda agar mereka mempunyai sifat perikemanusiaan apabila dewasa kelak.

Tinjauan di ruangan komen perkongsian itu mendapati ramai netizen yang turut sama terharu melihat persahabatan di antara anak kecil itu dengan warga asing terbabit

A Malaysian Confirmed Dead In New Zealand Volcano Eruption With More Yet To Be Found

The High Commission of Malaysia in New Zealand revealed that at least one Malaysian was killed in the recent White Island volcanic eruption

The Malaysian embassy based in Wellington confirmed the information in a Facebook post published at 6.40am today, 10 December."This morning at 9.30am local time, the High Commission was informed by NZ authorities that at least one deceased is Malaysian. Further details are being obtained as the investigation progress," the statement read.As the embassy continues to work closely with the local authorities, they urge those with information of any Malaysians being in the affected area to contact them.

The High Commission wishes to update on the latest development regarding the White Island volcanic eruption. This...Posted by High Commission of Malaysia in Wellington, New Zealand on Monday, December 9, 2019

The volcano, known as 'Whakaari' in the Maori language, erupted yesterday, 9 December, sending an ash plume 3.6km into the air

Image via The Straits Times

The volcano is located 48km from the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand.According to CNN, 47 people were on the island at the time of the eruption.

The eruption killed five people in total and eight are reportedly missing

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said three of the deceased are believed to be Australians, reported The Guardian.New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern stated that New Zealanders and tourists from Malaysia, Australia, the US, the UK, China, and Germany are among the eight people who are missing.Local police do not expect to find any more survivors.Ardern added that 31 people sustained injuries, many of them are in critical condition.

Whakaari is the most active cone volcano in New Zealand, built up by over 150,000 years of continuous volcanic activity

Prior to the eruption, many questioned whether the privately owned island should be open for public tours.According to Reuters, the island brings in more than 10,000 visitors every year.Monash University Professor Emeritus Ray Cas told Reuters that the island "has been a disaster waiting to happen for many years"."Having visited it twice, I have always felt that it was too dangerous to allow the daily tour groups that visit the uninhabited island volcano by boat and helicopter," Cas commented.

The volcano recorded a fatal eruption in 1914, killing 12 sulfur miners

Keinginan pasangan suami isteri ini berkongsi keindahan percutian mereka dengan pengikut Instagram bertukar menjadi kejadian yang merugikan

Jessica Michibata dan Jenson Button.

Jessica Michibata, isteri kepada pelumba F1 Jenson Button telah memuat naik gambarnya yang sedang memakai cincin pertunangan berharga USD 388,000 (RM1.5 juta) ke laman Instagram

Image via Instagram Jessica Michibata

Tidak lama kemudian dilaporkan villa percutian suami isteri ini telah dipecah masuk dan cincin pertunangan itu telah dilarikan

Modus operandi yang digunakan oleh perompak adalah melepaskan gas di villa percutian mereka yang terletak di selatan Perancis itu, sebelum merompak mangsa. Gas itu mungkin menyebabkan mangsa tidur lena dan tidak sedar yang diri mereka dirompak.

Cincin pertunangan berharga RM1.5 juta.

Atas dasar ingin tahu, penulis portal The Next Web News, Amanda Connoly telah melihat profil Instagram Jessica Michibata. Kemudian beliau menemui punca kejadian.

Dari situ dia dapati yang gambar cincin pertunangan Jessica itu telah dipinkan di photomap, yang menunjukkan lokasi villa percutian mereka. Pada pendapat Amanda, ini adalah suatu kesilapan besar yang telah menyumbang kepada kehilangan cincin pertunangan yang mahal itu.Perompak di zaman moden semakin pintar dan tahu menggunakan laman sosial, jadi tindakan Jessica memuat naik gambar seolah-olah memberi mereka peluang dan memudahkan perompak untuk buat kerja. Amanda juga mendapati Jenson Button sebaliknya tidak *link*kan sebarang gambar beliau ke photomap. Mungkin kejadian yang berlaku adalah kebetulan tetapi ada kemungkinan ia dapat dielakkan sekiranya Jessica lebih berhati-hati apabila memuat naik sebarang gambar atau info ke laman sosial, apatah lagi mereka memang dikenali umum sebagai pasangan yang kaya.

Menurut portal digitaltrends.com, memang sangat mudah bagi penjenayah untuk mengetahui lokasi anda jika anda menggunakan fungsi geotagging yang terdapat dalam telefon pintar

Image via petapixel.com

Gambar yang disimpan dalam bentuk file .JPEG mempunyai data EXIF iaitu data tentang lokasi, jarak malahan nama tempat samada restoran dan kedai. Geotagging mempunyai ketepatan sehingga 15 kaki.Dengan meletakkan gambar di dalam geolocation, ia membolehkan sesiapa yang mempunyai perisian tracking untuk mengenal pasti lokasi anda dan membuat hubung kait antara maklumat lokasi tersebut dengan maklumat-maklumat lain yang telah anda muat naik ke laman sosial. Jenayah seperti rompakan dan penculikan boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh perkara remeh ini. Contohnya pada tahun 2010, lebih 18 buah rumah di sebuah bandar di Amerika dirompak setelah perompak membuat pemerhatian tentang pergerakan penduduk kawasan itu secara online, mengakibatkan mereka kerugian lebih USD100,000 (RM400,000).

        digitaltrends.com

Memang tak salah jika ingin berkongsi gambar percutian di laman sosial, cuma elakkan meletakkan maklumat peribadi yang keterlaluan seperti nombor rumah atau lokasi

Jika anda telah mengaktifkan fungsi geo-tagging di laman sosial, masih belum terlambat untuk anda disable fungsi tersebut. Langkah-langkahnya:

Jadi selepas ini, tak salah kalau nak kongsi gambar percutian di laman sosial cuma ingat, jangan sekali-kali kita biarkan fungsi geotagging ini menjejaskan keselamatan kita semasa bercuti.

Woman In Cheras Helps Elderly Aunty Change Soiled Pants After She Was Chased Off Bus

A Malaysian woman shared a recent encounter she had with an elderly woman who was taking a bus

On 9 January, Lucia explained that she was heading home when she smelt something unpleasant and saw watery stool at a bus stop in Cheras.As she got on the bus, she noticed the drivers chasing an elderly woman out because she had soiled her pants and it was smelling.

Although the passenger tried to reason with them to let her stay on the bus, they told her to leave because "they didn't want the smell to disturb the passengers throughout the journey"

Lucia then got off the bus and followed the aunty to help her.That was when she discovered that the aunty had a left prosthetic leg, poor eye vision, kidney failure, and was actually on her way back from a check-up at Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM).

Lucia also found out that she is single and lives alone, so there wasn't anyone she could contact. "She was really helpless. I helped her to the MRT OKU toilet, as I went in the toilet, I saw that the tap sink wasn't able to work and the door lock wasn't working," she wrote, adding that it was challenging because there was only one water source that could be used and the door couldn't lock.

The aunty was willing to rinse her pants and wear them again. But feeling sorry for her, Lucia went to the nearest mall to buy her a fresh pair of pants and a face towel.

However, as she ran back to the toilet, the cleaner was disappointed because the toilet was wet and smelly. "She was telling aunty to quickly come out. I told the cleaner I would help her to clean up. Aunty felt really bad. I reassured her. After I helped aunty change, I told her to wait outside the toilet as I cleared the floor with a floor cleaner. I accompanied aunty to the bus and saw her off till her drop-off point."

Lucia ended her post by saying that it is important to be sensitive towards senior citizens when they are in these types of situations

"As a public transport user and a student nurse, I have seen many senior citizens using public transport as a means to travel up and down to hospitals for their check-ups and clinical procedures, as this is the cheapest form of transport for them to travel. This involves a lot of walking and waiting [in different kinds] of weather," she explained.Lucia urged public transport services, especially RAPIDKL, to improve facilities for senior citizens.And she added, "To the bus drivers, cleaners, and public transport users, I hope that you would be sensitive to the senior citizens when they are in a difficult situation."

Her post has been shared over 2,000 times on Facebook.

During the court session, Magistrate Mohamad Izwan Mohamed Noh warned Cranwell to not repeat his actions

"I promise, sir," a prison uniform-clad Cranwell replied to Izwan, with tears rolling down his cheeks.The two days spent in the police lockup had really taught Cranwell a lesson, said his lawyer Zaflee Pakwanteh, reported Free Malaysia Today.The charge was made under Regulation 97 of the Civil Aviation Regulations 2016, which includes a fine of up to RM50,000 or three years' imprisonment, or both.

In a similar incident, a passenger once tried to open a flight door because he wanted to smoke:

3 Things Our Malaysian Judge Said To The Aussie Strippers And How The Guys Responded

The 9 Australian men, arrested for stripping down to their briefs at Sunday's Formula 1 race, were allowed to walk free by Judge Duan Hirith Shan Bin Mohamed Ysinin, who decided not to charge them

Judge Harith Sham Mohamed Yasin used Section 173 (a) of the Criminal Procedure Code to let the men go without punishments

According to Malaysiakini, Judge Harith took into consideration how the Australian men, dubbed as the ‘Budgie Nine’, were remanded for four days, had lacked awareness that their action was insensitive and that they were remorseful.

Here are the three things Judge Harith said to them:

1. "What you have done was totally inappropriate and you have provoked the sensitivity of Malaysians."2. "The elements in the flag are a symbol of sovereignty and official religion of the country."3. "You must consider that Malaysia has a different culture to yours."

So what did the Aussies had to say?

Following which, one of the accused read out an apology, saying they had no idea that their conduct was deemed to be crass or "downright offensive" to the Malaysians.
They apologised and described their actions as "inappropriate".

"We are remorseful of our actions on that day. We had no idea that our conduct would be deemed to be inappropriate, crass or even downright offensive to the citizens of this country," one of the accused Tom Whitworth said on behalf of the other men. "Please know that we do not have the slightest of intention to undermine or degrade the dignity of the Jalur Gemilang, this country or her people," he added.

Explaining that their actions were purely an oversight which had stemmed from their lack of knowledge of cultural sensitivities of Malaysians, Whitworth said they only came to the realisation of Malaysians' respect towards the national flag, after their arrest

"We too have similar fondness and respect to our own Australian national flag, but due to our cultural differences, our display of respect and reverence for our national flag is perhaps quite different," Whitworth said while reading from the apology letter."But this is no excuse for us not to understand our own neighbours’ sensitivities on certain subjects, such as the present one. We, therefore, without reservation, apologise and express our deepest regret over our conduct of the afternoon of 2 October."

Meanwhile, Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull described the Malaysian authorities as being "very lenient" with the 9 Australians

Turnbull said it was appropriate for the men to apologise in court on, and described them as "very repentant", according to Australian media reports."They are on their way home and that's good. I think the Malaysia authorities were very lenient," he was quoted as saying.According to Malaysiakini, among the nine Australian, was Jack Walker, who is an adviser to Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne. It was reported that PM Turnbull would talk to Pyne once he returns regarding his future as a ministerial adviser.

Malaysian Passport Ranks As 14th Most Powerful In The World

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

As borders are slowly opening around the world, Malaysians are eager to find their next travel destination for a much needed getaway.
But what if we were to tell you that the Malaysian passport has access to 179 locations around the globe?

London-based immigration consultancy firm, Henley & Partners, just revealed their 2023 ranking of 199 passports around the globe. Analysing data from the International Air Transport Association, the index sought to see how passports from these countries faired when accessing 227 travel destinations.Referred to as The Henley Passport Index 2023, a precise methodology was used to determine the ranking. Among them included determining if an individual from each nation would be able to enter a travel destination without a visa application, if they could attain a visa upon arrival, if they require a permit, or if they would need to attain a government-approved electronic visa. Ultimately, all the countries were classified based on their ease in accessibility, with a points system being used to rank the nations accordingly. Here's a complete rundown on the ranking of all 199 countries:

Image via Henley & Partners

According to the index, Malaysia possesses the 14th most powerful passport in the world for 2023, giving Malaysian nationals access to 179 of the 227 destinations.

While the ranking saw the Malaysian passport slip by one spot based on the 2022 ranking, it still remains the fourth most powerful Asian passport in the world

The three Asian countries that overtook Malaysia in the ranking also happen to be the nations that possess the three most powerful passports in the world. Achieving the top spot for the fifth year in a row, the Japanese passport claims the title of most powerful passport in the world, having visa-free access to 193 global locations.Slipping one spot to claim runner-up, Singapore ties with South Korea for possessing the second most powerful passport in the world, having visa-free access to 192 destinations. South Korea's retention of the second place standing also sees a slight improvement for the nation, which previously allowed visa-free access to 190 countries in 2022.

Rounding off the top five spots are numerous countries that tied due to their visa-free access to the same number of locations of the 227 destinations. The countries with the third most powerful passports in the world were Finland, Italy, Luxembourg, and Spain, allowing entry to 189 destinations. Austria and Denmark tied for fourth place with visa-free admittance to 188 places.Wrapping up the top five are the Netherlands, France, Ireland, Sweden, and Portugal, all of which have entry to 187 destinations, visa-free.As for the bottom five least powerful passports in the world, Yemen stands with visa-free access to just 34 countries, Pakistan with access to 32, Syria to 30, and Iraq to 29. Afghanistan ranks as holding the least powerful passport in the world, with visa-free access to 27 countries of the 227 destinations.

Nonetheless, it was also clarified that the rankings will be updated quarterly, and that the current status of each nation stands only for the first three months of 2023

"Updated quarterly, the Henley Passport Index is considered the standard reference tool for global citizens and sovereign states when assessing where a passport ranks on the global mobility spectrum," read a statement on the Henley & Partners website.Furthermore, it was also stipulated in a report by Bloomberg that the rankings are not a reflection of the actual use of the passport itself. Referencing a statistic from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, only 24 million passports were in circulation at the end of 2021 for Japan, three million less than what it was the year before.All in all, Malaysia's steady rank as one of the most powerful passports in the world gives clear assurance of the freedom and acceptance Malaysians are provided when travelling the globe.

These Facts Show How Eerily Similar We Are To Orang-Utans

According to a 2009 research, orang-utans, and not chimpanzees, are the closest living relatives to us humans

Accoring to a 2009 research, orang utans, and not chimpanzees, are the closest living relatives to us humans.

Orang-utans, not chimpanzees, are the closest living relatives to humans, a controversial new study contends. The authors base their conclusion on a close physical resemblance between orang-utans and humans, which they say has been overshadowed by genetic evidence linking us to chimps.

For starters, orang-utans share 96.4% of their DNA with humans

Image via gfycat.com

Orang-utans have been observed making simple tools to scratch themselves. They also use leafy branches to shelter themselves from rain and sun, and sometimes even drape large leaves over themselves like a poncho. They have also been observed using branches as tools during insect foraging, honey collection, and protection against stinging insects, and to “fish” for branches or fruit that is out of reach.

        orangutan.org

During pregnancy, female orang-utans carry the baby for approximately eight and a half months. Usually, a single offspring is born. Twinning happens, but it is rare.

Orang utan birthrates are low - once every five to eight years - therefore any external pressures such as hunting and diseases have an enormous impact on the survival of the population.

Baby orang-utans remain with their mother at all times until they are two to three years old. During this period, the infant is totally dependent on its mother for survival, food and transportation.

Infant orang-utans stay in close contact with their mothers for a long time. For the first two years of a young orang-utan’s life, he or she is completely dependent on its mother for food and transportation. A baby orang-utan clings to his/her mother’s stomach, side, or back while she moves through the trees, and feeds on his/her mother’s breast milk.

Once they are old enough to be independent, they will start to spend more time alone or with other immature orang-utans. However, they will not stray far from their mother.

Baby orang-utans have long childhood period to learn all the necessary skills, from feeding to building nests, from their mother before they can be independent

Primatologists believe that orang-utans have such long “childhoods” because there is so much that they need to learn before they can live alone successfully. Young orang-utans learn almost everything from their mothers, including: where to find food, what to eat and how to eat it (sometimes this involves using special tools), and how to build a proper sleeping nest. Also, mothers probably protect young orang-utans from predators such as clouded leopards and pythons in Borneo, and tigers in Sumatra.

Last but not least, different groups of orang-utans are known to have their own unique culture too!

Not long ago many people thought culture was unique to the human species. However, in recent years scientists have found increasing evidence of socially learned traditions elsewhere in the animal kingdom. In 2003 a group of researchers, including Dr. Carel van Schaik and OFI’s president, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, described two dozen behaviors that are present in some orangutan populations and absent in others.

        orangutan.org

According to the report which appeared in the journal Science, these practices are learned from other group members and passed down through the generations. In parts of Borneo, for example, orangutans use handfuls of leaves as napkins to wipe their chins while orangutans in parts of Sumatra use leaves as gloves, helping them handle spiny fruits and branches, or as seat cushions in spiny trees.

        orangutan.org

There are about 1,300 orang-utans left in Sarawak. The population in Sabah dropped from 20,000 in the 1980s to 11,000 in 2003.

In Malaysia, orang-utans can be found in Sabah and Sarawak, the two Malaysian states on Borneo Island. In Sarawak, there are about 1,300 orang-utans, almost all in the Lanjak-Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary and Batang Ai National Park. In Sabah, there were about 20,000 orang-utans between 1979 and 1986. By 2003, the orang-utan population in Sabah was about 11,000 individuals, including approximately 1,100 individuals in lower Kinabatangan.

WWF-Malaysia is doing important work in North Ulu Segama forest, Sabah, to rehabiliate the degraded forest that is home to 300 orang-utans. They need your help.

Feeding primarily on fruits, orang-utans play an important role as seed dispersers, allowing more fruit trees to grow and flourish in the forest. Forests form the foundation to sustain the natural resource needs for all living things on this planet -- including us.

WWF-Malaysia works to rehabilitate the degraded forests of the North Ulu Segama (NUS) forest, Sabah, home to 300 orang-utans. Unfortunately, funding for our crucial conservation efforts will run out by the end of this year. We need more funds if we are to continue our rehabilitation of degraded forests and ensure the continued survival of wildlife like orang-utans.

10 Coolest Gifts Every Guy Secretly Wants Instead Of Another Pair Of Socks

1. A hoverboard

Image via Giphy

Why it's cool: It doesn't really hover as the name suggests, but a hoverboard does a good job of carrying you from point A to point B without you having to lift a toe. Hoverboards can be incredibly fast too as they can travel up to 20km/h, which is an equivalent to the running speed of a fast adult. With the pretty bling-bling LED lights, it's no wonder a hoverboard is the hottest and most sought after tech gift right now.

Image via shophyperwalk.com

2. A drone

Image via http://versus.com/

Why it's cool: You don't need to keep a pet. Get a drone. If GoPros were the trend last year, drones have taken it up a notch or two. Flying a drone and capturing aerial views of pretty much any terrain allows any guy to slip into a satisfying 'pilot mode' that was once only possible if you owned a toy helicopter, or if you were well, a pilot.

Image via The Drone Girl

3. A lightsaber

Image via technabob.com

Why it's cool: The reality is that you don't have to be a diehard Star Wars fan to own a lightsaber and be proud of it. With the current hype of the new "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" movie, lightsabers have arguably become the coolest weapon of all fantasy and sci-fi movies. If you're a guy reading this, we know you've probably flirted with the idea of swinging a lightsaber around in your living room in an epic duel with an invisible enemy...

4. A virtual reality device

Image via reddit.com

Why it's cool: A virtual reality device gives you an immersive 3D experience in which your head movements are tracked in a three dimensional world. Not only can you watch movies in a kickass 3D format, but many games especially those developed for mobile, are starting to pick up on this technology too. Perhaps the future of gaming and movie is already here.

5. A curved screen smartphone

Why it's cool: Ever since Samsung in 2013 announced it was developing a curved screen smartphone, gadget pundits have been ecstatic with the phone's potential, and Samsung didn't disappoint.Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ provides users with new ways to access information, engage with their mobile device, and gives quick access to 5 favourite apps as well as top 5 contacts - all with the swipe of your thumb.  In a time when smartphones can hardly differentiate themselves from other phones, this curved screen indeed offers something fresh for the tech savvy guy. With the dual curved screen, users can enjoy more immersive viewing experience, enhanced by QHD Super AMOLED display, when playing games or watching contents.

6. A LEGO set

Why it's cool: LEGO isn't just for kids. They're for adults who don't want to grow up. Ever since LEGO tapped onto the superhero movie market - especially the Marvel and DC series -  the 'it' toy has become a craze amongst young adult enthusiasts with releases of collections, packed with the most fascinating details. A completed LEGO set makes an excellent centrepiece for the home too.

7. A portable Bluetooth speaker

Image via http://www.trustedreviews.com/

Why it's cool: Consider this a more modern, edgy take on the typical surround sound home theatre system. Having a portable speaker is the most fuss-free way to share music with a group of friends at a house party, picnic, or a camp-out. You can play and control the music seamlessly from your smartphone by just syncing it with the speaker via bluetooth.

8. A very slim wallet

Image via hiconsumption.com

Why it's cool: Guys hate bulky wallets. Fitted trousers and skinny jeans have left very little space left for guys to fit their wallet in their pocket. By using a slim wallet, only the essential items will be carried around such as identification cards, credit cards and money, blending perfectly with tight skinny jeans. No coin compartment? That's all you could ask for.

9. A fashionable backpack for work and play

Image via coach.com

Why it's cool: A well-designed, well-made bag has become a must for guys who have graduated from carrying sporting bags or lugging around dated suitcases. It's the perfect accessory and meeting place for both form and function. After owning one, guys will find it hard to leave home without their packed bags.

10. A smartwatch

Why it's cool: Smartwatches are a great way to read notifications on your phone, track your daily activities (especially health-related ones) and gain quick access to apps.Samsung Gear S2 is one of the best smartwatches around. Gear S2 comes with a durable stainless steel body that sits slim and sleek on your wrist.  You may change your watch band as per your taste from the variety of band options provided too.

Getting someone a smartwatch as a gift will definitely score you priceless brownie points.

Everyone In This Bus Could Have Perished If It Weren't For Their Driver, Encik Asoghan

On 10 March, D. Asoghan, aged 49, a bus driver who was driving 45 factory workers to work in his bus early in the morning, realised he had no choice but to crash his runaway bus into a concrete column

He did so deliberately to save his 45 passengers from a worse fate. The brakes of his bus had failed and he had to do something to slow it down. The bus was moving along the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu expressway near the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone.

"At that time, I wanted to expand my business by breeding dairy goat as there was a high demand for goat milk," Ahmad explains."When I was selecting some female goats, I saw Remos and how beautiful he was. I bought him immediately," he added.

However, all that beauty does not come easily, as Ahmad shared that Saanen goats require proper maintenance and a clean environment

Netizens Outraged After Govt Hospital Bans Food Delivery For Staff & Patients

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.Editor's Note: Sungai Buloh Hospital has retracted the ban. You can find the update here.

Sungai Buloh Hospital is under fire on social media for purportedly banning all online food deliveries for staff and patients at the hospital

The issue was made known on Twitter yesterday, 10 August, by junior doctor rights movement Hartal Doktor Kontrak, which shared a photo of a circular from the hospital about the ban.The circular, dated 9 August and reportedly issued by the hospital director, stated that the decision was reached during a meeting with all hospital department heads on 26 July.

KKM logic, ban food delivery like #Grab & #Foodpanda for staff and patients. Might as well ban eating so that there will be no waste produced. Yg buat keputusan dah lupa kot rasa tengah oncall & rasa lapar, sebab tu buat keputusan mcm ni. pic.twitter.com/rPCICu6p2e— HartalDoktorKontrak (@HKontrak) August 10, 2022

The document said the ban on online food deliveries was due to food waste that has "compromised the cleanliness of hospital wards"

It said the hospital has been receiving numerous complaints of increasing food waste and litter, as well as pests on hospital grounds.The circular then stated that the hospital cafeteria has been reminded to improve its services and preparation of food to meet the demands of staff and the general public.

The move was slammed by Hartal Doktor Kontrak for being insensitive towards hospital staff who enjoy the convenience because they work around the clock, as well as patients who may want to eat at odd hours

"This is Ministry of Health's (MOH) logic, ban food delivery like Grab and foodpanda for staff and patients. Might as well ban eating so that there will be no waste produced," the group criticised."Those who made this decision have forgotten what it felt like to be hungry while on call, that's why they have decided as such."

Image via Bernama

As of writing, the tweet has garnered over 2,000 retweets and hundreds of replies from netizens expressing concern and criticism over the new hospital ruling

"Are they stupid or what? When doctors become hungry during on-call at night, who are they going to call? The director?" replied a Twitter user sarcastically.

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, another netizen pointed out that the solution to the problem highlighted in the circular did not make sense."The director's solution: 'Oh, there are pests. Let's ban food delivery.' LOL. Improve the rubbish and pest control lah," they said.

Image via Twitter

Another Twitter user also questioned the hospital's management of its cafeteria and waste disposal instead, saying, "This shows failure of the hospital administration to handle the support service to maintain the hospital rubbish disposal and cleaning.""Does the hospital’s kitchen meet the standards in food safety, nutrition, and taste? Will the kitchen be able to cope with the increased demands to cater for all staff?"

Image via Twitter

SAYS has reached out to Sungai Buloh Hospital for a response on the matter.

The Hartal Doktor Kontrak movement was founded in 2021 to highlight the plight of junior doctors in Malaysia:

BN Got Its First Win In GE14 After PH Candidate Was Denied Entry Into Nomination Centre

Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan has won the Rantau state seat uncontested

Image via Bernama via NST

The caretaker Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar will return as the assemblyman for Rantau for the fourth term. The Star Online reported that Mohamad Hasan, who is also Rembau UMNO division chief, was declared as the winner as his sole challenger from Pakatan Harapan Dr Streram Sinnasamy failed to file his nomination papers.The announcement was made today by returning officer Amino Agus Suyub, not long after he announced the names of other eligible candidates for the Rembau parliament and other state seats, according to Astro Awani.

Local media reports stated that the Pakatan Harapan candidate was denied entry into Dewan Sri Rembau to submit his nomination papers earlier today

Image via Hazreen Mohamad/NSTP

New Straits Times reported that Streram, along with his proposer and seconder, were denied entry as each of them lacked a pass from the Election Commission (EC).According to Bernama, Streram and his supporters arrived at the nomination centre at about 8am and they protested against the police when the authorities prevented him, his proposer, and seconder from entering the centre, which caused the situation to be "a little tensed". Those who wish to contest in the election must submit their nomination papers at their respective nomination centres between 9am and 10am today, 28 April.

Mohamad Hasan's victory means that Barisan Nasional has secured its first win for the 14th General Election

During the last election, Mohamad Hasan defended the Rantau seat after defeating Parti Keadilan Rakyat's (PKR) Aisah Lamsah with a majority of 4,613 votes. Mohamad Hasan has held the Rantau state seat for three terms since he first won it in 2004.
