[PHOTOS] Is Vagina Talk The Right Way To Promote Women's Rights?

Beijing Foreign Studies University Gender Activism Club  raised a few eyebrows with its feminism campaign inspired by The Vagina Monologues

When 17 female students at the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), one of China's most prestigious colleges, posted photographs of themselves holding up messages like "My Vagina Says: I Want Freedom," they probably didn't expect to cause such a stir on Chinese social media.

By telling stories of the vagina, the group aims to call for respect for the “second sex,” as well as raising women’s own self-awareness.  The only problem? Chinese netizens thought that they went too far…and that these female students are ugly.

The women posted the photos on Nov. 7 on Renren, an online community website popular with university students, to promote an upcoming campus performance of The Vagina Monologues, U.S. playwright Eve Ensler's controversial 1996 play.

Most netizens thought these girls have crossed a line. “This is so low. Don’ they have shame?” Another netizen 爱之123 added: “This is disgusting. Will these girls still have the ’face’ to live on?”. Netizen 爱琳只为你 explained why she has been annoyed: “I’m not sure about what they’ve been learning at school, but being open, free and international doesn’t mean making a big deal of their private parts.”

The irony is that these negative reactions themselves prove exactly the necessity of more feminist calls in China. These girls clearly demonstrate that talking about sexuality and taking control of your sexual identity is nothing to be ashamed of and proudly show their faces. China needs feminism, and this is exactly the kind it needs.

Man Who Raped A Teenage Girl In Balik Pulau 12 Years Ago Has Finally Been Caught

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

A rape case that had gone cold after 12 years has been solved with the positive identification and arrest of the suspect on Friday, 8 April

The suspect, aged 40, was arrested at 3.30pm at a goat farm in Balik Pulau, Penang.The man is accused of raping a teenage girl at a workshop in Sungai Pinang, Balik Pulau. The victim was 15 years old at the time of the assault, according to a statement by Bukit Aman yesterday.Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Datuk Seri Adb Jalil Hassan the breakthrough in the case was due to a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sample taken at the scene of a rape.

While the DNA sample enabled police to identify the suspect, Jalil did not elaborate on how they matched the DNA that led to his arrest

He explained that they immediately launched an operation to track down the suspect and he was successfully apprehended and remanded at the Barat Daya district police headquarters.A six-day remand has been secured against the man, until Wednesday, 13 April.The police are completing the investigation and will refer the investigation papers to the public prosecutor's office for further action. The case is being investigated under Section 376 of the Penal Code for rape.The section carries a punishment of between 10 to 30 years imprisonment with whipping.

Meanwhile, Jalil said the identification proved that the police force does not give up on any case until criminals are brought to court

"Police have never given up in our efforts to get the latest developments in a case until we have succeeded in identifying the suspects involved so they can face justice," he added.

"Both Of U Cannot Die" - Reaksi Si Kecil Autisme Tentang Isu 'Mati' Buat Keluarga Terkejut

Bagi yang masih belum mengetahui apakah itu Autisme, ia merupakan masalah perkembangan kompleks yang melibatkan interaksi sosial kanak-kanak terganggu akibat masalah kemahiran berkomunikasi dan lain-lain

Antara masalah lain yang selalunya berlaku adalah masalah tingkah laku tidak wajar yang akan berulang, pemencilan diri dan juga mereka akan mempunyai keinginan terhadap sesuatu benda.Menurut kajian yang dikeluarkan oleh The Asian Parent Malaysia, hampir 47,000 kanak-kanak di Malaysia kini menghadapi gangguan autisme atau lebih dikenali sebagai autistik.Namun begitu, ianya gagal didiagnosis dengan kadar yang segera kerana ibu bapa mereka tidak tahu akan ciri-ciri penyakit autisme ini.

Image via Ideas

Untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang ciri-ciri dan tanda-tanda penyakit autisme ini boleh terjadi kepada anak-anak anda, boleh baca sini.

Seorang pengguna Twitter iaitu Syaza Rahizad baru-baru ini telah berkongsi pengalaman di mana adik lelakinya yang menghidap Autisme telah berkelakuan aneh selepas berlakunya sesuatu perubahan

Tweet tersebut juga telah mendapat lebih 11k retweets ketika artikel ini ditulis.Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Last Saturday, I jumpa my parents at a family friend’s wedding.My dad dyed his hair, moustache and beard...something yang dia takkan buat. Dari dulu lagi.And then my mom told me something.Here’s the story.— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

Adik bongsunya menghidap penyakit Mild Autisme dan selalunya akan bermain bersama dengan anak-anak kakaknya. Namun...

Recently my sister and her 2 children + husband moved out from the house. So tinggal lah my parents + 2 little broters. My adik bongsu ni mild autism. He used to have friends to play with (my sister’s anak) in the house and are not always alone.— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

Bila they move out. Dia sorang-sorang je. He do things alone. The house has become drastically silent with no children. Sepanjang hidup dia, now he’s 12, tak pernah tak ada orang. Autistic child HATES changes. Especially drastic ones.— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

Ibu terjumpa adik lelakinya menangis di dalam bilik yang gelap seorang diri.
Bila ditanya apa sebabnya, ini jawapan yang tidak disangka....

My mama told me that she found my adik crying alone in the dark dalam bilik. When she ask him, why? Dia senyap je and just cakap dia sedih, not telling anything. So my mom comfort him and tanya dia kenapa dia menangis?— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

He finally cerita. Satu hari tu he was watching tv and dia saje keluar to check up on my parents then he saw them talking and he was standing behind my dad. Dia nampak rambut my dad penuh uban, so is my mom’s hair. Dah beruban. And then he lari masuk bilik and menangis.— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

And then he cried again the day after. Ni la yang my mom terkejut tetiba masuk bilik nampak he’s crying his heart out in the dark room. Bila he open up, he said mama & papa is getting old and dying. Sebab the uban he saw on their hair.— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

He said that one day mama papa is going to die, and leave him to live alone and sampai masa dia mati pulak. Dia marah and menangis cakap both of you CANNOT grow old and die.— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

So both my mom and dad terpaksa dye rambut diorang yang dah beruban tu semata-mata to reassure him yang they won’t go anywhere.— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

"Dia sedih, dia tak nak grow up. Dia mimpi kereta accident dan mati. Dia ada juga mimpi pergi airport lepas tu flight tak berhenti..."

And then my abang texted me this the other day:Well, it got worst. pic.twitter.com/bSlB1djV0R— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

Setiap kali birthday, dia akan cakap I DON'T WANT TO GROW UP sebab menurut keluarganya, dia baru mula mengenali apa itu 'mati'

He started to cry again sebab he asked for my abang a nintendo switch(?) and my abang said, tunggu your birthday nanti abang beli. Tahu kenapa? He said this every freaking year we celebrated his birthday + other fam member’s birthday on August;“I don’t want to grow up”— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

This time macam makin teruk sebab he started to have nightmare yang dia naik flight and the flight never stops and then dia naik kereta, crash and accident. Like, dia baru kenal death.— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

My abang cakap dia jadi macam trauma bila dengar my abang said “birthday”.He repeatedly cakap “I don’t want birthdays. I don’t want to grow up. I don’t want to have a hard life”Last, dia jerit “I don’t want to think about the future”— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

I jadi risau lah dia macam tu kan. Sebab dia tak pernah seteruk tu. Always fikir orang mati, dia mati now. Dia mild autism, drastic changes ni buat dia rasa macam tu.— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

Ayahnya tak pernah dye rambut hitam sebelum ini tapi untuk melegakan hati adik bongsunya itu, terpaksa jugalah.
Tapi Alhamdulillah, tingkah lakunya kini tidak begitu membimbangkan.

Sampai my dad yang tak pernah dye his hair semua tu pun kena dye rambut. Both mom and dad dah 55+ and my dad pun dah tak kuat macam dulu, so susah sikit untuk hide that from him. My abang said he’s always miserable now. My mom pun tak tahu nak buat macam mana.— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) January 31, 2019

This is from my mom: pic.twitter.com/FFD5rREC7B— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) February 1, 2019

What makes me less worried is that: Dia tak berkurung diri, dia nak je keluar rumah, and dia macam looking forward to weekends sebab dia tahu my dad cuti so boleh jalan and maybe his niece and nephew akan datang tidur rumah. Also my mom dah plan him someactivities dia boleh buat.— Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) February 1, 2019

Betul lah some of you said, he just need some time to get used to it. He’s just not used to being alone, ada suggest suruh dia buat activity dia suka/enroll him to a school yang buat apa dia minat. Thank you so much for suggesting — Jaja (@SyazaRahizad) February 1, 2019

Perkongsian ini juga disambut baik oleh pengguna Twitter yang lain dengan berkongsi semula pengalaman yang pernah dihadapi oleh mereka:

A Talking Parrot Helps Catch Owner’s Murderer

A talking parrot in India’s bustling city of Agra reportedly helped police track down the man responsible for murdering the pet’s owner

Neelam, wife of a local Hindi newspaper editor Vijay Sharma, was found murdered at her residence in Balkeshwar colony here on 20 February, police said.

        firstpost.com

Valuables, including jewellery, were missing from her house in the city’s Balkeshwar colony, 100 miles south of Delhi.

Local police were struggling a week after the murder of Neelam Sharma, 45, until they received a tip from the most unlikely of sources: Hercules, the dead woman’s parrot.

        time.com

Sharma's husband, Vijay Sharma, told police that after the murder, he noticed whenever his nephew, Ashutosh, came over, the parreot would go berserk

"It sulked every time Ashutosh passed its cage," Sharma's brother Ajay said. Growing suspicious, the victim's family started taking names of possible suspects in front of the parrot.

Not wise to break the law in front of this bird

Mr Sharma said: 'The parrot that was unusually quiet suddenly started shrieking and flapping around the cage. 'It was clearly distressed about something and only calmed down when Ashutosh left.

        dailymail.co.uk

'Then when I spoke to other people, every time I mentioned Ashutosh's name the parrot would start screeching. 'This made me really suspicious and I decided to call the police.'

        theaustralian.com.au

When Ashutosh Goswami’s name was read out, the parrot squawked "Usne maara, usne maara" (he has killed, he has killed)

Ashutosh was arrested by police in Balkeshwar Colony in Agra for the murder of his aunt Neelam and confessed to her killing, the Press Trust of India reported.

        telegraph.co.uk

"We would like to remind the public that littering has environmental consequences," the NEA said in a statement

"Keeping our environment clean by not littering is a gracious and socially responsible thing to do," it read.The agency told Channel NewsAsia that the offender "was cooperative throughout (the NEA) officers’ engagement with him".

In response to the viral photo, netizens couldn't help but make fun of Singapore's infamously strict littering laws

Iconic Speedy Outlet In Mid Valley Is Closing Down And Netizens Are Devastated

A tweet about Speedy Mid Valley Megamall's closing down sale recently went viral

Image via Muhammad Imran/Facebook

On Sunday, 8 September, Twitter user @putraadibadham urged everyone to pay their last respects to the iconic branch.

He wrote, "Part of the journey is the end. We are entering a new age. To all movie lovers, let's all pay our final respects to Speedy. Come to Mid Valley where they're having a mega sale before closing down!"

Part of the journey is the end. We are entering a new age. To all movie lovers, ramai-2 beri penghormatan terakhir kepada #Speedy / come to Midvalley they’re having mega kawkaw promotions before closing! pic.twitter.com/D9wFJ6yzEO— putraadib. (@putraadibadham) September 8, 2019

The tweet has since garnered 3,400 retweets and 2,000 likes.

Over the years, several popular Speedy branches have closed down.
As netizens say goodbye to the memorable Mid Valley outlet, they looked back on their fondest memories of the store.

Speedy Video has been around for 30 years since 1989. They're a local company that specialises in home entertainment such as DVDs, Blu-Rays, Video CDs, and CDs.

At their prime, there were over 90 Speedy outlets across Malaysia.

The formerly bustling outlets at 1 Utama, Bangsar Village, and Pavillion Kuala Lumpur closed down several years ago.

Although there are still a few Speedy branches across Malaysia, it is truly the beginning of the end.

Twitter user @putraadibadham wrote, "Back when I was in Form 4 or 5, I saved up my allowance every week. At the end of the month, I'll head to Speedy Eastern Plaza in Tawau to buy these. It would take me months to save up enough money to buy this many."

Image via Twitter @putraadibadham

"I have so many memories at Speedy. My father would take my two siblings and me to Speedy once a month. Each of us gets to choose one movie so by the end of the month, there will be three new movies in our collection," said @Yusoff_Imran.

Image via Twitter @Yusoff_Imran

Another netizen wrote, "I remember when there used to be a Speedy store in Shah Alam Mall, Section 9. At the end of every month after Kumon class, my dad will bring my siblings and me to the store and let us pick one or two movies. The good old days."

Speedy Mid Valley's clearance sale will be held until Sunday, 15 September. DVDs and VCDs are being sold for as low as RM5 each.

Tourism Ministry Advises Malaysians To Stay Away From North Korea

The President of the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA),  Datuk Hamzah Rahmat, says that Malaysians should heed Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz's advice and stay away from North Korea

Image via Utusan

Following the murder of the elder half-brother of Kim Jong-un, Nazri has discouraged Malaysians from visiting North Korea, describing the country as "a rogue state" which is highly unpredictable

"I don't encourage Malaysians to visit North Korea. You cannot predict what they will do," the Culture and Tourism Minister was quoted as saying by The Star Online.

Agreeing with Nazri, MATTA President today said that in the light of what happened at KLIA2, it would be prudent to heed the advice

He added that such travel advisory would apply to any destination where security of our citizens cannot be assured."It is the fiduciary duty of all travel agents to place the safety of travelers above all else."

Meanwhile, the Malaysian Government has ended visa-free entry for North Koreans. The announcement was made by Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, citing security reasons.

Image via colombogazette

The move comes in effect from 6 March, following which North Koreans entering the country will be required to secure a visa first

The move comes as the Malaysian authorities are hunting several North Koreans suspected of being involved in the murder of Kim Jong-nam. Read more about it here.


Gambar Jerebu DAHSYAT Di Indonesia. Kami Harap Malaysia Tak Akan Jadi Seteruk Ini

Jerebu oh jerebu, kau datang dan kembali setiap tahun sesuka hati. Dan tiap-tiap tahun pun puncanya sama, iaitu pembakaran hutan secara terbuka di Sumatera, Indonesia oleh pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab.

Seorang ahli bomba sedang berusaha memadamkan api di Ogan Ilir, Sumatera pada 12 September 2015.
Image via CNN

Isu jerebu sudah sekian lama dibahaskan. Seperti biasa, semua pihak memilih untuk menuding jari ke arah negara jiran kita iaitu Indonesia. Mana tidaknya, jerebu teruk ini semuanya berpunca dari pembakaran hutan yang tidak terkawal di kawasan Sumatera.Kalau diikutkan, jika pembakaran secara berleluasa ini dapat dibendung, maka isu jerebu juga mungkin dapat diatasi. Tetapi sehingga kini, masalah yang sama masih berlaku. Ramai yang mendakwa kerajaan Indonesia seperti 'melepaskan batuk di tangga'.

Nak tahu betapa buruknya jerebu yang berlaku di Indonesia, jom kita layan 11 gambar di bawah:

Sementara itu, pihak kerajaan Indonesia berharap masalah jerebu ini akan selesai tidak lama lagi, paling cepat pada bulan depan apabila negara itu mula mengalami musim hujan

Jerebu akibat kebakaran ladang dan hutan di Indonesia dijangka berakhir dalam tempoh sebulan lagi apabila negara itu mula mengalami musim hujan.Ketua Agensi Pengurusan Bencara Negara (BPNP) Willem Rampangile dipetik media Indonesia berkata, dengan peralihan cuaca itu, ia sekali gus memadamkan api dalam tanah gambut dan menghilangkan jerebu yang turut melanda Malaysia dan Singapura sejak dua bulan lalu."Cabaran terbesar menangani kebakaran hutan dan tanah pertanian kali ini ialah kebakaran tanah gambut dan cuaca kering. Jika air terhad, ia menimbulkan asap di tanah gambut yang terbakar. Saya harap dalam sebulan lagi ia akan selesai, (pada) akhir Oktober atau awal November," katanya.

Man Who Sexually Abused His Stepdaughter Since She Was 12 Claims Stress Made Him Do It

On Monday, 10 September, a 45-year-old man in Singapore was sentenced to seven and a half years' jail after he was found guilty of sexually abusing his stepdaughter since she turned 12 in 2006

The man, who cannot be named to protect the stepdaughter's identity, pleaded guilty to one charge of sexual penetration of a minor, one charge of voluntarily causing hurt and one charge of committing an obscene act with a child, reported Channel NewsAsia.According to a report in The Straits Times, the abuse began since the time the stepdaughter turned 12-year-old and continued until September 2014 when she told her family of the abuse after he hit her when she refused to do as he wanted.

The man married her mother when the girl was only three-year-old

For years, the little girl was under the impression that the man was her father. It was only when she was a teenager that she realised he was not her biological father.In 2006, the man approached his stepdaughter in the flat they lived in. After ensuring that no other family members were in the house at the time, he molested her.From that point on, he escalated his perversion over the next seven years.He would subject her to his sexual perversion on weekly basis and by the time the girl was in secondary school, the girl's fear took the form of forced compliance.He forced his stepdaughter to give him oral sex at 15. The abuse continued through secondary school to when the victim was in polytechnic, reported The Straits Times.

On 7 September 2014, when she returned home from work at around 10pm, the man brought her to an open area near the lift lobby and asked her to perform oral sex on him. But she refused.

While she cried and shoutout for help, there was no one to help her. It was only when the stepdaughter apologised to the man that she stopped his assault.However, her mother and brother saw that she was in tears when she returned home, they asked him what happened. She told them about them that her stepfather had hit her, and they called the police, according to Channel NewsAsia.She later confessed to her brother, grandparents and aunt that her stepfather had been sexually abusing her. A few days later, they lodged a police report against him.

In the Court today, while the man pleaded guilty, he said he committed the crimes as he was "curious, drunk and stressed"

During sentencing, the judge said that while the man had cited stress as one reason for his actions, it was no excuse as the man had exploited family trust of the highest order.In subjecting his stepdaughter from a young age to his "perverse whims and desires", he robbed her of her innocence and left emotional scars, said the judge.

Meanwhile, the man reportedly suffers from the paedophilic disorder. He was also assessed with a high risk of reoffending.

In Malaysian, a CCTV footage caught an aide of Deputy Home Minister Azis Jamman making an upskirt video of a woman while they were at an optometry shop in Solaris Dutamas on Saturday:

3 Easy Tips To Help You Avoid Getting Scammed When Investing

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by the Securities Commission Malaysia.

Did you know that at least 450,000 Digital Assets Exchanges (DAXs) accounts were opened in 2020?

If you're not sure what DAX is, it's an online business which allows investors to trade digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and digital tokens for other forms of currencies, including cash.  Meanwhile, robo-advisor investment is on the rise too. According to the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC), 175,000 accounts were opened in 2020. With the economic setbacks in the past year or so, more Malaysians, especially millennials, are looking for new ways to invest or diversify their portfolio, as investing may provide returns in the long-run.Other than saving, investment is also becoming a more common method when it comes to building funds for retirement.

However, this also means that investment fraud is becoming a bigger issue, with inexperienced investors taking advice from unlicensed investment advisors or getting scammed by unregulated platforms

Image via @mayofi (Unsplash)

According to The Reporter, in 2020, the SC received complaints against 19 possible unlicensed investment advisors, compared to only 10 in 2019, which shows a 90% increase in just a year. What's more shocking is that this year alone, there were complaints against 65 possible unlicensed investment advisors, which is a 242% increase. That's why it's important to conduct a thorough background check and research before deciding to invest.

To help you avoid falling prey to scams and unlicensed investment advisors, check out a few tips shared by the SC:

Image via @austindistel (Unsplash)

1. Always conduct your own assessment before buying or selling any stocksWhether it's about an investment advisor your friend has been raving about, or ads you've been seeing about a certain investment platform, it never hurts to do a background check to find out more. Look them up online, find out more about their investment schemes, or even get a second opinion. 2. Always check the SC's Investor Alert List before investingThe SC has compiled a list of unauthorised websites, investment products, companies, and individuals that investors should be wary of. If you're ever suspicious about an investment advisor or platform, you can check the list. Additionally, you can also contact the SC via phone at 03-62048999 or email at [email protected]3. Be wary when investment advisors approach you via social media and private channels What should constitute as a major red flag to investors is when investment advisors promote their services via Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram. In most cases, they would require investors to pay a fee to join their private channel for more info and tips. The SC also shared that some of these operators post 'testimonials' from their existing subscribers to encourage victims to subscribe to their service. At the end of the day, the SC is continuously reviewing the investment market and regulations, while also encouraging everyone to be vigilant when it comes to investing.

Additionally, to help Malaysians become informed investors in the market, the SC is kickstarting their annual InvestSmart Fest this month!

Image via Securities Commissions Malaysia (Provided to SAYS)

From 8 to 10 October, the InvestSmart Fest will educate the public about the various investment opportunities in the market, and how you can protect yourself against scams and dodgy investment schemes. Over the years, the InvestSmart Fest has been educating Malaysians about the investment market, and the important things every investor should look out for. This year, with the theme #JagaDiri and #JagaPelaburan, the annual event will be increasing awareness among investors to protect themselves and avoid getting scammed.The best part about the InvestSmart Fest? Registration is free!

Honest Workers Go Through Bags Of Garbage To Return RM2,000 A Makcik Lost

Honesty is a rare trait to find among people these days.
That's why when you come across such people, like these solid management workers in Baling, they should be praised.

A group of workers at a solid waste management company in Baling have earned a good name for their honest and noble act on Tuesday.The workers returned more than RM2,000 in cash, which they found in a garbage bag, to its rightful owner, reported NST Online.

Image via Harian Metro

The nine workers of Environmental Idaman Sdn Bhd (E-Idaman) were hired to carry out cleaning works at a house belonging to an elderly woman who lives alone in Kupang by one of her kids

Her son, who lives in Kuala Lumpur, had contacted the E-Idaman company so the garbage bags and recycled materials at the house compound could be cleared.He was concerned that the pile of garbage would do harm to his mother's health and safety, NST Online reported, quoting Baling E-Idaman Unit Chief Shazwan Shahbudin.Shazwan said that they understood that the woman, in her 60s, had a habit of collecting discarded and recycled items from the town and bringing them home.

When the pile of garbage was being loaded into the lorry, the woman said that her money, kept in a plastic bag was missing

While the workers inspected the garbage, they could not find the money.However, upon returning to the garbage collection centre in Pulai, they felt that they had to help the woman. So they decided to check each of the garbage bags."After much tedious labour, they finally found the cash in a plastic bag covered with mud. They counted the cash, which totalled to RM2,379.80, and subsequently returned the money to the woman yesterday evening," Shazwan said, adding that he is extremely proud of the workers for their honesty.

Keep up the hard up and your honesty, guys!

Successful Malaysians Don't Believe In These 6 Investment Myths

1. "I'm young! There's no need to invest yet, right?"

Image via Movie Pilot

On the contrary, that's the exact reason why there's no better time than now to invest. After all, the earlier you start, the more you stand to gain.

Image via quickmeme.com

Time is an important component in growing your wealth. Let's say a 25-year-old starts with RM100 initial investment, and contributes RM100 monthly with 10% returns annually. In 10 years, that's a RM20,405 headstart compared to a 35-year-old who's just starting out! If you're going to take on risky investments, it's best do it while you still have minimal obligations. Even if it doesn't work out, you would be in a better position to deal with it than say, a 50-year-old with 3 mouths to feed and hefty monthly expenses and commitments to keep up. Starting early will give you priceless experience in the investing world, and preps you for informed investing in your later years.

2. "I need to be super rich to invest."

Image via becuo

Between a flimsy paycheck and increasing monthly expenses lies the painful question: How much can we even put aside for savings?What most people don't realise is that investing doesn't necessarily require thousands of Ringgit; you can even start from as low as RM100. Let the power of compounding work its magic!What you DO need, however, is financial discipline. In order for you to reap the benefits, commit to the investment plan you're making. If you've decided to start investing RM100 monthly in unit trust, for example, stick to the plan.

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures/ Youtube (edited)

If you like something a little more dynamic, the latest buzzword in the investment world is leverage. Traditionally, if you had wanted to buy RM5,000 worth of stock, you would need RM5,000 cash in hand. With leverage, you would need a lot less.

Trading using leverage is like trading on credit and requires significantly less capital on your side. A good example of this is warrants, where you're able to invest in a listed company's shares but without paying the full amount. Think of warrants as a "reservation" to buy a predetermined number of shares at a certain price in the future.

        investsmartsc.my

3. "I need to be some kinda financial pro to invest."

Here's the short answer: NOPE.Hey, we live in the digital age after all! Make full use of expert sites and blogs to find out extensive information on the type of investment you're interested in.

Image via Giphy

InvestSmart, for example, provides a great overview on various investment topics, from warrants to trading stock. Workshops are also provided if you're keen to learn in-depth on a particular investment topic!You could also check out the Savings & Investment section of iMoney.my for a comprehensive view on unit trust investments, gold investment, share trading, and private retirement schemes. Handy calculators are also provided to give a rough idea of returns.If you're particularly interested in stock market, catch up with the conversations at Bursa Market Place. Look out for their industry research posts and free upcoming events too!

Nothing beats that face-to-face interaction when it comes to your investment questions; you could also set an appointment with a wealth advisor who can offer financial advice based on your profile. They don't generally charge for the first consultation and if you find that you'd like to have them guiding you throughout your investment journey then great! But if not, don't worry; there are no obligations to engage them.

4. "It's too risky, and I'll probably lose all my money!"

It's true that the more returns you want to earn, the more risk you're likely to have to take. But each form of investment comes with its own level of risk; some have high risks while some have little to none. The below diagram shows potential returns versus the level of risk involved in different forms of investment:

Image via Jean McKinney/slideshare

Before you invest in anything, always ask why you're doing it. If your objective is capital preservation, you'll most likely be going for low-risk options. Keeping your savings in a basic savings account, for example, means that the returns are relatively low but you won't face much risk of losing your money either.If you're looking at capital growth, you'll mostly likely look into the upper right portion of the above chart. Investing in property, for example, is much riskier but may yield much higher returns than the relatively safe route. Be clear on your investment goal, and go for a risk level that's aligned with that. Find out your risk profile here.

5. "Investing is basically gambling, isn't it?"

The truth is, they're not even remotely similar to one another. All you need to gamble is a huge dose of hope and if Lady Luck happens to be on your side, you win. But more often than note, that's not the case.

Image via Marvel/ Youtube (edited)

Doing investment right, on the other hand, is a whole different matter. It involves a lot of research, and making an informed decision based on your financial goals. With proper planning and monitoring, you're able to make a profit consistently and in that sense, "win" more than you "lose".Even if you do lose money, don’t be discouraged! Everyone loses. You just need to learn to minimise your losses and maximise your gains. Experienced traders learn from their losses. Consider it your tuition fees, your price of learning! Pro tip: There's a way to start with a small initial capital and still "win" big, and warrants are a great way to do this. The initial capital required is typically much less than that of stock trading, making it a more accessible investment option. For example, you would need to invest RM10,000 for stock of that amount, but with warrants, you can invest RM2,000 and still obtain the same exposure of RM10,000. Learn more about how warrants work here.

Woman Bravely Confronts Pervert After She Caught Him Taking Photos Of Other Women's Chests

In a viral Facebook post, a 21-year-old woman detailed how another female resident bravely confronted a man after she saw him taking photos of the woman and her cousin while they were waiting for the lift

Image via Facebook

"At first, my cousin and I didn't notice at all. The girl came into the lobby and noticed that the man was taking a photo of us. She told us immediately and I felt violated, so I went to ask to the man to ask him if he's taking a photo of us," the 21-year-old woman wrote. Before she could grab his phone, the woman managed to glimpse photos of her and her cousin as the man (pictured above) quickly deleted them from his phone. She also saw photos of other women, all of which seem to be focused on their chests and taken in the condo's lifts.The incident is believed to have happened at a condo in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur around 10.45pm on Sunday, 13 August.

As all of this was happening, the woman who brought attention to the violation kept rebuking the man for his actions, even after the writer of the viral Facebook post and her cousin exited the elevator

Posted by Crystal Leong on Sunday, 13 August 2017

CCTV footage showed that the man actually tried to physically hit the woman in full view of several eyewitnesses

Image via Facebook

Fortunately, a young man who was also in the lift intervened. He'd also followed after the woman when she exited the lift, as the alleged pervert tried to block her from exiting the lift and actually tailed her when she did so.

Image via Facebook

At the time of writing, the writer of the Facebook post has lodged a police report regarding the incident. She'd also warned other female residents to be careful in case they encounter the same man doing "weird things".

Image via Facebook

"Girls who live here, please don't go outside alone or take the lift alone, especially at night. If no one is accompanying you, just be really careful," she wrote. "If any of you see this guy, don't do anything if he didn't do any weird things. If he does, just provide information to the management office. Since I already made a police report, I believe they will take action on this man."You can read her original post here.

Several incidents of sexual harassment have come to light as of late, with social media or members of the public having played a significant role in confronting the alleged perverts:

A Group Of 2,000 Chinese-American Immigrants Are Rooting For Donald Trump

We all know Donald Trump is a hate spewing racist. He is also a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, misogynist, and a bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S.

Image via Giphy

In fact, Trump's racism has even earned him the endorsement of white supremacists.

Despite all that, the real estate mogul and reality television star has become the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee

While it is evident that Trump, with his immature politics and narrow-minded world-view, cannot be considered a fit and proper person to occupy the office of president, the fact that he has reached almost close to it shows how a large number of American voters, who are so angry about the state of their country, so dissatisfied with the system and so fearful of global changes that they are ready to suspend normal, informed judgment.

While Trump's popularity among conservative American voters has surprised many — considering the fact that he himself is not very conservative — what's even more surprising is that there's a group called "Chinese-Americans for Trump". And its members, some 2,000 in numbers, like to join his rallies dressed in white T-shirts with red lettering that reads "Chinese Americans heart Trump".

Image via Breitbart

They are supporting Trump because "when he speaks, it's very straightforward," says Los Angeles resident Tian Wang, the founder of "Chinese Americans for Trump" group, which has now spread to 15 cities in the U.S. They have also called the billionaire "fatherly".

Nancy Jian, a "Chinese-Americans for Trump" member, while speaking to Elizabeth Lee of Voice of America, said that she feels she can understand the way Trump talks."It's like a parent. My father often uses this type of tone to talk to us when we don’t listen to him. Our father will scold us but I believe it's not a big problem. The key point is when it comes to Trump’s idea of how to govern the country, he is very tough."And when informed about Trump's "tough stance" which included some strong words during his campaign on China calling it a "currency manipulator", Nancy said: "I feel it's not a problem because I believe he will make a correct and wise decision. Also, he's said in the past when dealing with North Korea, he will let China solve the problem. The United States is already dealing with a lot of difficulties. We don’t want to go to war. We really need to improve our economy. We need to support this kind of talented leader."

Tian Wang, who believes Trump loves Chinese people, said the reason he supports Trump and the Republican Party because conservative values are more in line with core Chinese values

“Especially the same sex bathroom issue. Come on, Obama,” Wang said, although Trump has taken multiple stands on the issue“The legalization of marijuana and the legalization of same sex marriage are all issues we really don’t like -- we’re against them. When we came to the United States, what was most important to us was our future. The reason we came is because it’s democratic and free, the land of opportunity. If we go on this path and everyone smokes marijuana, if all the kids go down the wrong path, and become gay, then won’t it be chaos?” asked group member Vivian Chen.

        voanews.com

Wang, the founder of "Chinese-Americans for Trump" was recently interviewed by MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff, who paraded him around in order to be confronted by other Asians for his political views:

While the "Chinese-Americans for Trump" group thinks of him as a "father figure", Trump often attacks China for taking jobs from U.S.

“We can’t allow China to rape our country,” Trump said earlier this month. “And that’s what they’re doing. It’s the greatest theft in the history of the world.”

What a "father figure".

This 12-Year-Old Boy Tried To Bargain For A RM85 Watch. He Got It For Free Instead.

An Instagram shop owner recently shared screenshots of a conversation he had with a boy in Kota Damansara who wanted to purchase a watch from him

On Monday, 26 August, Khairul Amirin took to Twitter to share the conversation he had with the 12-year-old boy, adding that the kid tried to bargain for the watch he was eyeing.

A kid wants to buy a watch and then this conversation happens pic.twitter.com/sOXI3gvIZZ— khai (@amirin_johari) August 26, 2019

Khairul's tweet has since gone viral and received over 19,000 retweets and 17,400 likes.

When the boy asked for the price of the watch, Khairul revealed that it costs RM85 including delivery charges

Image via Instagram @kaywatch.gallery

According to their conversation, the boy thought it was too expensive, asking Khairul to lower the price to RM45 instead. Khairul, however, claimed it was too much of a price difference, adding that he could only offer to sell the watch at RM80. Defeated, the kid shared that he would try to look for a cheaper watch elsewhere. The man then apologised for the high pricing and thanked him for asking.

The kid later requested for Khairul to reserve the watch for him

Image via Twitter @amirin_johari

The man then wrote, "I can't promise that I can reserve it for you but I'll try my best. Give me a heads up if there is anything else.""Pray for me that I'll have a good business. If I do well, I'll give you the watch for free," Khairul added. The kid then replied that he hopes Khairul will do well in his business, adding that the man should never forget his parents if he does well. The kid also shared that he recently achieved 5As for his test and will try harder to achieve 6As for the next test. Khairul complimented him for his hardworking behaviour and encouraged him to focus on his studies.

After the tweet went viral, a kind soul contacted Khairul to sponsor the boy the watch he wanted

Latest update Dia refuse untuk buat mungkin sebab tengah prepare untuk upsr yang just around the corner. Jadi saya dah bertanya kat orang yang bagi dia challenge so that he will get the watch for free and orang tu cakap takpa and bagi je! pic.twitter.com/au6kQq9yI1— khai (@amirin_johari) August 27, 2019

Khairul then shared that he attempted to contact the kid again, adding that it was now his responsibility to ensure the watch gets to the boy safely. The boy, however, refused to believe Khairul that he would be getting the watch for free. He declined to share his contact number and address to Khairul, adding that he was afraid of getting scolded by his father for sharing his details to a stranger.

Khairul eventually managed to get the boy's details when it was his mother who answered the Instagram video call instead

The man shared in a tweet that he will find the time to mail the watch this weekend as his class schedule is currently packed, adding that he would keep everyone updated of the progress.Later that day, Khairul shared a short video of the boy contacting him, saying "When do you want me to mail the watch to you? I'll ask your mother when she will be at home so that I can mail it to you."The boy then replied in agreement before ending the video call.

Haha tadi balik class dia call and got a few seconds of it pic.twitter.com/CJDafwA7yC— khai (@amirin_johari) August 27, 2019

Enjoy your new watch, kid!

Netizens Are Shocked By The Presence Of Two Huge 'Ivory Tusks' In Tun M's Living Room

On 5 July, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad posted a tweet which had numerous netizens raising their eyebrows

In it, the nonagenarian praised the young Parlimen Digital participants for their ability to discuss issues and proposals in an objective manner.

Saya mengikuti perbahasan di facebook @ParlimenDigital dan kagum melihat inisiatif oleh sekumpulan anak muda. Mereka telah mengambil bahagian berbincang dan berbahas usul-usul yang dibawa secara objektif. pic.twitter.com/BuXY0qJePD— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) July 5, 2020

However, Twitter users were more concerned with the two large 'ivory tusks' standing in Dr Mahathir's living room

Image via Twitter @chedetofficial

Several commenters questioned why Dr Mahathir would possess the illegal ornament, while others came to his defence

A number of netizens pointed out that it would be hypocritical for the politician to own elephant tusks, especially for decorative purposes, when he is himself a champion for policies safeguarding the environment. Dr Mahathir even expressed his concern for animal poaching at the Institute of Strategic and International Studies (ISIS) Praxis' conference last year. A report by Bernama quoted him as saying, "We have poachers who come into Malaysia to steal our tigers and for elephants' tusks, thus killing the rare elephants that we have."

Local conservation group Zoologi Malaysia also chimed in:

We coulndnt help but to wonder about those ivory tusks.Hurmmm.. https://t.co/hz10bmqEYV— ZoologiMY (@ZoologiMY) July 5, 2020

Though the politician has yet to comment on the matter, other Twitter users suggested that the 'tusks' could have been gifts

Several netizens noted that foreign governments often gave these items to politicians during the 1970s and 1980s when laws on the ivory trade were less strict.

Malaysia is part of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) which has implemented a ban on all trade of ivory

According to their official website, the international treaty was drawn up in 1973 as a method to protect wildlife against over-exploitation. Malaysia has been a member of CITES since 1978. In January 1990, countries and organisations involved in the convention declared a ban on the international trade of ivory.


Millipedes Are Usually Harmless. But You Should Still Not Touch Them With Bare Hands

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

Millipedes are often considered as common, harmless creepy crawlies.
However, a Thai man recently took to social media to warn people after he suffered an injury to his foot caused by a millipede.

Facebook user Nangan Songkran Sangkabkaew cautioned people to not overlook the invertebrate after his skin was burned by one while wearing his shoes.Taking to his personal account last Tuesday, 6 June, he wrote, "This is a reminder for everyone. Watch out for your children and grandchildren."It's the rainy season and there are lots of millipedes around. Millipedes are poisonous."

Image via Sukan Star TV (Facebook)

The man, from Chiang Mai, Thailand, said he did not realise the millipede was in his shoe when he was going out

However, after less than 30 minutes walking outside, he told Khaosod Online that he started to feel pain and a burning sensation in the toes of his left foot.Quickly taking his shoes off, he saw his toes had started to swell and blister, and hurriedly went to wash his feet, before examining his shoe and finding a millipede.He rushed to a hospital and was informed by a doctor that he had suffered a millipede burn.

Image via Sukan Star TV (Facebook)

Unlike centipedes, millipedes do not bite or sting.
However, some species do secrete a fluid that can cause chemical burns to humans if handled with bare hands.

According to pest management website Breda, millipedes release a foul smelling liquid from their glands as a defence mechanism to keeps predators away.Medical website MDedge states that this secretion contains poisonous toxins to the human skin called quinones, which can burn or blister the skin, as well as cause dark brown staining.While they resemble burns and scalds, and may hurt for a few days, the discolouration and blisters often resolve on their own over time with proper wound care.Eye exposure may result in more severe injury and will need prompt medical attention.

Image via Sukan Star TV (Facebook)

As for Nangan, he said the doctor treated his millipede burn with a disinfectant and asked to see him again in three days to follow up

Reposts of his photos on Malaysian community pages have since garnered thousands of reactions and shares across Facebook, with netizens shocked by the incident."Be careful of millipedes.
