Balinese-Inspired Cafe Creates Inventive Classical Dishes With Flavourful Unique Twists

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

Step away from Malaysia for an afternoon and into a Balinese restaurant that'll widen your palette

Kafe Bali is an elevated Balinese restaurant located in Bandar Puteri Puchong, just 45 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of KL. Elegant and extravagant, step inside this eatery and be whisked away to Indonesia for a few hours of good food and stellar embellishments.Recently opened this past April, Kafe Bali has been expounding on their restaurant in a short period of time. They have demonstrated that while they may be new to the food and service game, they're ready to capture the attention of a widespread audience looking for some hearty Balinese favourites.

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

Entering Kafe Bali, we were taken by the detailed vernacular accents throughout the restaurant that somehow manage to amalgamate natural decorative elements with charming Southeast Asian minimalism, creating a paradise away from the busy streets of Puchong.From rattan light fixtures that illuminate the locale, to the charming 'bird nest' thrones scattered throughout the eatery, this is one of the most Instagrammable places we've visited in awhile. The ceiling-high windows boast natural lighting that radiates the beautiful interior design fixtures. Fun fact, almost every piece of furniture within the cafe was flown in from Bali!

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

Though there are no private rooms within the vicinity as of yet, sectioned off seating options upstairs give a cosy and intimate feel, so you'll be able to dine in semi-seclusion if need be.

Image via SAYS

We opened our tasting session with a mixture of drinks from coffees to mocktails

Each of us was served with a glass of Pandan Water from the very start. Grassier than normal water, it was a good buffer for the strong Balinese flavours that eventually came our way. Dynamic and bubbly, the Chili & Mango (RM17) signature mocktail was a rollercoaster of flavours from the first sip. Mixed with mango, lemon, lime, orange, and a touch of red chilli padi in sparkling soda, this drink was refreshing and quenching.Moving to the cutely named Kayu Manis (RM17) coffee, the fresh brew of espresso had a jolly stick of cinnamon in its glass as an aromatic accessory. Creamy and different from your typical coffee orders, there was a good balance of Gula Melaka that was a sweet relief. Be warned though, this would probably not be your typical 'early morning coffee order'. Rather, it is a wonderful addition if you're kicking back for a lively brunch with your friends.

Image via SAYS

Trying their Kopi Apokat (RM17) was an equally delightful treat for those who aren't typical coffee drinkers. In this concoction, we were served a fresh blend of creamy avocado topped with palm sugar syrup. A fun gag for those with short attention spans is the accompaniment of a shot of espresso next to the avocado blend, so you can play bartender and create your perfect coffee mix.

Image via SAYS

Thick and rich from the blend of avocado, the milkshake-like texture of this drink is once again, not for the quintessential coffee drinker. Yet, for those adventurous enough to take the risk and order this brew, the risk does pay off if you love a silky smooth avocado swill. Control the caffeine level to your own preference, and choose either a sweet shake for the go, or a coffee and avocado fusion. We couldn't resist, and dunked the whole thing in!

Seated and ready to eat, we were served up some Balinese classics with a flavourful twist to the dining experience

Beginning with starters, we were served both 'Sops' (soups) from their menu of, give or take, 20 items.The first of the duo, Sop Jamur (RM18), was a creamy mushroom soup served with roasted garlic croutons and a pinch of 'Sambel Goreng'. Dense and delicious, this soup definitely lived up to its velvety description, though it is definitely grainier than your typical mushroom soup. A good opening for impending dishes, this soup would even make a great snack if you're not looking for a full meal.Moving on to their Sop Tomat (RM18), this piece was a blended roasted tomato soup, also with 'Sambel Goreng', and a pinch of basil on top. A more textured soup, the filling provided within the blend was generous and plentiful, that kept us on our toes. Tangy with hints of sour that pierced our taste buds, those looking for a collage of spice and citrus will enjoy this soup.

Image via SAYS

Southeast Asian salads can be severely underrated, and that was the case with the Tipat Cantuk (RM21), a Balinese warm salad with grilled chicken, fried beancurd, rice cake, and boiled egg, that was served with tamarind peanut sauce. Hardly able to imagine it ourselves, this dish almost rose to being best of the day, had it not been for another coming later in this review. Dynamic and stimulating to every flavour receptor in our mouths, the multi-layered dimensions was a lovely surprise, especially for a salad.We then proceeded with the first main course, Soto Macaroni (RM26). An interesting reinvention of the classic 'Mee Soto', this dish saw the substitution of yellow noodles with macaroni instead. Hearty and comforting, this warm crock of pasta would do perfect for a cold, rainy day. Not as spicy as its traditional counterpart, those looking for a simple plate of food with solid flavours will enjoy this good attempt at a remake.

Image via SAYS

Though the past four dishes were respectable and delightful, these next two climbed their way to the top of our favourites for their bold flavours

Getting into the thick of it, the Fried Fish Ciabatta (RM27) was a blowout, and definitely claimed the title of best dish.Served in a carved slice of ciabatta bread, the contents of this sandwich included a deep fried marinated fillet fish topped with apple sesame coleslaw and cilantro mayo. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, the oscillation between the delicate spice of the fish fillet and the nippy coleslaw provided a great balance in flavour. The fish fillet itself was well-done, stringy, and steamy when sliced into. If you're visiting Kafe Bali, this is one dish off the menu you cannot go pass.

Image via SAYS

Continuing with another favourite from their 'Roti' menu, the Siap Gulung (RM26) wrap was something out of a parallel universe, where Taco Bell originated from Bali instead of California.With pan-grilled chicken fillet, mixed green vegetables, and tomatoes lathered in 'Apokat' ranch dressing in a sun-dried tomato wrap, this plate of food was an ideal snack for fast eaters. Generous with their filling and sauces, sink your teeth into this tortilla for an explosion of vibrant flavours. Served with a side of potato wedges and dipping sauce, the wrap was sturdy enough to hold the multitude of ingredients that boast subtle nuances in typical Indonesian flavours.

Image via SAYS

As the savoury dishes stacked up nicely, it was only appropriate that we gathered our expectations to see if the desserts could match their performance

A tea-time must, we opened the dessert segment with a hot Latte (RM13) made with Nusantara beans, and served with a peanut-and-sesame brittle bite. Kafe Bali's in-house roast, this bean is grown in the region of Sumatra and Java Indonesia, approximately 1,200 metres above sea level.With hints of dark chocolate complementing the coffee, this mocha-like serve was a delicate evening treat. In comparison to the other coffees tasted earlier on the list, this piece would be a coffee lovers dream.

Image via SAYS

Another fun tidbit of Kafe Bali, is their spread of French pastries displayed at the counter, that are made fresh for customers to pick up if they want a quick treat. Trying the Vegan Crown, the light and airy confection was the simplest of the lot. While there was really nothing superb to comment on, the pastry itself was hot and buttery.Diving into their 'Manisan' dessert section off the menu, we tried a slice of their Soft Baked Cheesecake (RM18) with handmade pineapple topping. Resembling the texture of chutney, the pineapple topping added sweetness to the creamy and concentrated cheesecake.

Image via SAYS

Ultimately, the crowning glory ended up going to a marvellously constructed cake, with pizzaz in presentation and piquancy.The Lemon, Poppies & Lychee (RM21) cake was gorgeous in every aspect. From the tantalising topping of lychees on the slice, to the lavish and bountiful sprinkle of dried rose petals across the plate, this fluffy cut checked every box when it came to flavour. Fragrant from the freshness of the lychees, this candied cake was zesty and heavenly to have. If you need something to brighten you up, this cake would be just the treat you seek.

Image via SAYS

Overall, our dining experience at Kafe Bali was satisfying and gratifying, all including how they opened their doors just two weeks before our visit

Hardly any complains to go by, we appreciate the keen details achieved by Kafe Bali in such a short span of time since their opening. From weaved plates for the food to be served on, to traditional facets featured in every dish, we tip our hats to the servers who were attentive to our requests. Our dishes arrived within minutes of our order, displaying an organised and robust service for their customers. Though we didn't have time to try everything on the menu, some other interesting items ranged from beef burgers to lamb pennes, and even their own spin on the classic coconut and pandan kuih.With no reservation system in place yet, you'd better hurry to get a place at Kafe Bali, so to bask in some Balinese bliss.

"Mana Adalah, Indian Useless" — The Hub Coffee Roasters Accused Of Racism & Bullying Staff

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

Editor's Note: The story has been updated to include a new statement by The Hub's owner.

A former employee of The Hub Coffee Roasters has accused the specialty coffee business of racism and bullying that made her resign

In a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday, 3 March, Malaysian-Indian Melissa Kaur Wathan narrated the traumatising ordeal that made her scared of going to work at The Hub's Damansara Heights outlet."It's been a week and I'm still thinking about it," Melissa wrote, adding that she never understood how verbal abuse and racism could affect someone until it happened to her.She said that while she is someone who usually tolerates how others treat her and never really puts an argument about anything, this time she feels like "for once in my life I need to stand up for myself".

According to Melissa, she joined The Hub sometime in October last year after leaving her previous job at a commercial coffee company

Prior to joining, she met Nicholas Tay, co-owner of The Hub, at their Plaza Zurich Damansara outlet."I was very honoured to talk to someone like Nicholas. He gave me the service and comfort at the early stage of my venture. He offered me to work with them since I had some background and they were short of staff," Melissa wrote, adding that she remembers telling Nicholas about having zero experience with espresso."He knew I was a homebrewer, so he assured me that it was okay and what mattered was if I was willing to demonstrate a positive attitude and work. I agreed and started training at their OUG outlet."

About three months later in February this year, she was asked to assist at The Hub's Damansara Heights outlet.
"I was nervous yet excited because it was a dream," Melissa said, not realising that it was soon going to turn out to be a nightmare.

According to Melissa, she felt that was disliked and not welcomed there starting from day one."A barista named Joey told me that I wasn't needed there and that they had mentioned this to Nicholas," she wrote, highlighting how she was told they didn't need a barista from the OUG outlet to help out."I ignored whatever she said and resumed work as usual. I usually worked there twice a week, so I didn't make a big deal out of it, but it got worse," Melissa wrote, adding that the verbal abuse increased with time.She was then asked to work at the Damansara Heights outlet for four days.

			I became more devastated.

"I asked the owner if working there was a better choice because [the] girls didn't like me there. I mentioned how I was treated and they told me that they are aware and will look into the matter," she wrote in her post."So I continued to work there with the hope that these girls were already confronted and that it would be much easier to work with them now. It didn't end quite well."In her post, Melissa accuses Joey and her friend, who is also named Joey, of continuing their verbal assault on her by calling her "brainless, worthless, and f-cking lazy" all in the name of training.According to Melissa, Joey defended herself and her friend's behaviour towards her by excusing it as being "direct and sarcastic" with people they have trained."She said that she's not there to babysit me and that I didn't show any sense of passion for coffee. She mentioned that I didn't qualify to work in the specialty industry and that I belong in a restaurant chain like [redacted]. She went on and on about how useless my presence was," Melissa wrote.

			I felt so humiliated and degraded. Never have I experienced such a situation.

But it didn't end there, Melissa says

When a regular customer asked about an outlet that was about to open just opposite The Hub, enquiring if the owners of the new outlet were Indians, Joey allegedly answered in a tone full of disgust.According to Melissa, Joey answered the customer saying, "Mana adalah, Indian useless" and then turned towards her to say that she didn't mean this for her."The entire time that day, I was continuously yelled at because I wasn't good in the espresso routine. I became so demotivated and quiet. I didn't utter a single word," she wrote.

After that incident, she said she knew her journey there had ended

"So I texted the owner stating that I would like to resign and she called me to ask what happened. We spoke on the phone, but I felt so unheard because she kept justifying the girls' behaviour," Melissa wrote.According to her, Nicholas' wife - who is also The Hub's co-owner - told her that they need both the employees there because they know how to 'manage' the outlet and that Melissa must have misunderstood them."She said that their character is very direct, and told me to take the next day off and that she and Nicholas would discuss the matter. She also told me that they will talk to me when I resume work in OUG."However, the next day, Melissa received a text from Nicholas' wife saying that they are accepting her resignation as it was a better choice since she was unhappy working there.She said that while she isn't the kind of person to air out problems she has faced, what happened with her at The Hub left her feeling extremely humiliated and bullied all for wanting to learn.

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by   (@melissawathan)

Following Melissa's post, The Hub has released a statement

In the statement that was posted across their social media pages, The Hub stated that what Melissa said was correct and that they never intended to deny what she experienced.However, The Hub appeared to put the blame solely on one staff who is "rude and disrespectful".According to them, while they regret that such an incident occurred in their company, no action will be taken against the staff "because she has pledged not to repeat her behaviour".

They said that they apologise for the incident and would like to thank Melissa for her help during this period, albeit a short one

In the statement, The Hub said that they had hoped that there would be a better outcome from this because to them, Melissa seemed to be able to work well with other colleagues at the OUG outlet."With regards to allegations of us being a company that employs racism policy, we strongly deny that. We cherish the best talent we could come across all the time as we think the Malaysian coffee industry has so much room for growth," The Hub said, adding, "We wish to reiterate there was no intention to lay off Melissa in the first place, and we were surprised by her tendering to leave, as we believe in a long term working relationship.""On the staff responsible, we hope to reiterate that we do not agree with her behaviour and have communicated our stance to her, it's because she has pledged not to repeat her behaviour, we decided to give her another chance and not to lay her off."

Meanwhile, Nicholas has since taken to Melissa's comment section to clarify that he never denied that the accused staff is wrong

At the same time, though, Nicholas commented, "No one is perfect".According to him, the way Joey spoke to Melissa is not correct but she just needs to be taught about having a good character so she can learn and be better."At least, A will say sorry and accept what we say that she can't act or speak to people like this in future, she knows she is wrong, she knows that she needs to improve and respect people," he wrote.Nicholas also stated that Melissa did mention to him about not having a prior experience, but after three months of training her, she can't simply be saying she's only interested in filter coffee and not espresso base."Our job as a barista is to cover everything from making coffee to hospitality, not only filter coffee. But we didn't tell you because same as Joey, we know no one is perfect as we need to give chance for everyone."

His comment, however, has backfired with several netizens since calling him out for gaslighting Melissa and asking for an apology from her

According to Nicholas, as an employer, he can't just listen to one side and take action.He says that the problem that started between two staff now involves the company, due to which he now needs Melissa to say sorry to them as he is not racist because he had hired Melissa in the first place.About accepting Melissa's resignation, Nicholas said that there are reasons for it; as if a person is willing to change, the business is always happy to give chance, but not if the person thinks they are always right.Nicholas also questioned if an employee should be immediately let go for saying something racist.

Amidst all this, Melissa spoke to this SAYS writer to share that The Hub was aware of the racism and chose to discriminate against her.
"How can one be openly racist and deny it," Melissa remarked.

She told SAYS that before going public, she did go to them."Before I resigned I told them I couldn't stand the bullying. And they told me they would take care of it. I was scared to go to work. They chose to see the bullying and racism as a misunderstanding," she shared."This is not a misunderstanding. This is bullying and racism. And my employers did not give me the reassurance I needed. Instead, they justified those two employees' behaviour."She surmised that The Hub didn't want to confront the problem."So since I said I was going to resign, it was a better option for them," Melissa told this SAYS writer, agreeing with the conclusion that her resignation gave them an easy way out.

Since the publication of this story, Nicholas released a fresh statement on The Hub's Instagram page, saying he would like to extend "an unequivocal, unconditional, and unreserved apology" to Melissa

Nicholas admitted that when she came onboard, he made a terrible mistake of not being diligent enough in ensuring the best environment for her to grow. "I shall admit to that mistake and owe up to it," he wrote.

Addressing the issue about Joey who was accused of racism and bullying by Melissa, Nicholas said that after taking a couple of days to understand the issue, they are letting the staff go for the time being."I have spoken to Joey about this, and she is willing to change. We are willing to change," he added.

If you missed it, you need to check out these spectacular shots of Leehom taken during the concert with the soon-to-be-launched Huawei P30 smartphone

Look at how far away Leehom is on stage, but how close the Huawei P30 can zoom into his all-black sparkly bodysuit.

Image via Huawei Malaysia

Here's another shot of Leehom in one of his modern outfits for the night.

You can even see super close-up shots of Leehom and his instruments

Leehom is actually on the left of the big-screen display, highlighted in the green box. Despite being such a long distance away, check out how the Huawei P30 manages to capture the details of Leehom and his violin despite all the rapid movements.

If you were in the crowd, you probably wouldn't be able to see much of the dragon-inspired grand piano with your bare eyes. But look at how far the Huawei P30 can zoom in thanks to its extreme telephoto capabilities.

While the Huawei P30 is slated to be launched on 26 March 2019, we've already seen it in action on several occasions

It was first seen during a recent Blue concert in Kuala Lumpur.

And then on Malaysian actress Fasha Sandha's Instagram account for her pre-wedding photos.

This also isn't the first time Huawei has come up with a unique smartphone camera

Last year, the company launched the Huawei P20 series, which was the first phone in the world with a triple-lens setup. Not long after, the Mate 20 series was launched, also retaining the triple-lens feature found in the P20 series. With the Mate 20 and P20 both achieving identical DxOMark scores of 109, it's clearly evident that Huawei is no stranger to making special phones.

Needless to say, we're excited to see the actual unveiling of the Huawei P30 series and what it can offer to everyday users and avid concert-goers

Huawei Malaysia has also announced they will be giving away the Huawei Backup as a possible freebie along with the Huawei P30 series. This 1TB external hard drive will give you all the space you need to store your photos, videos, and documents on the go.

Local cryptocurrency traders, did you know there's an ATM in the country that lets you convert bitcoins into cash and vice versa?

Image via Pinkexc - M Sdn.Bhd

The founders of Pinkexc told ChinaPress that the machine was imported from Portugal, costing approximately RM70,000

The inspiration to set up a bitcoin ATM in Malaysia came when the founders were travelling in Japan and South Korea, as revealed in a report by the Chinese daily yesterday, 15 January. The two countries were some of the earliest adopters of cryptocurrencies in the Asia region.ChinaPress added that the ATM is the first of its kind in Malaysia.

The founders revealed that traders would normally withdraw RM200 to RM300 in one transaction. For withdrawals exceeding RM500, an online transfer is required.

Besides bitcoin, the machine provides trading services for other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Bch, Lite, and Dash. When asked if it has plans of installing more of these machines, the company said they have tried applying for permits with Bank Negara. However, all their applications thus far have been rejected.

The ATM is located inside Pinkexc's office building

'Jangan Bagi MyKad Kalau Tak Boleh Cakap Melayu'

Seorang profesor dari Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) mencadangkan kanak-kanak di negara ini perlu fasih bertutur dalam Bahasa Melayu dahulu, baru mereka layak diberikan kad pengenalan berwarna biru

Profesor tersebut, Prof. Datuk Dr. Zainal Kling mengutarakan pendapat beliau melalui tulisannya di Mingguan Malaysia, edisi hari Ahad akhbar Utusan Malaysia.

Image via SAYS

Menurut beliau, bahasa pernah menjadi satu kewajipan bagi memohon kewarganegaraan pada suatu ketika dulu.Namun, hal ini bertukar apabila pengasas Gerakan, Tan Sri Dr Tan Chee Khoon berkata rakyat Malaysia sudah pun belajar Bahasa Melayu sejak dari kecil, baik di sekolah kebangsaan mahupun di sekolah vernakular.Lagi pun, Bahasa Melayu juga merupakan bahasa kebangsaan di negara ini.

Pada masa ini, kanak-kanak diberikan kerakyatan Malaysia atas dua syarat:

1. Jika seorang atau kedua-dua ibu bapa adalah rakyat Malaysia2. Jika seorang atau kedua-dua ibu bapa adalah pemastautin tetap di dalam negaraDatuk Zainal Kling berpendapat bahawa perlu ada syarat ketiga yang mesti dipenuhi bagi mendapatkan status warganegara iaitu bahasa."Sekiranya syarat ketiga, bahasa mereka, tidak dipenuhi, jangan beri kepada mereka kad pengenalan berwarna biru, tetapi berikan mereka kad berwarna merah buat sementara waktu," kata Zainal, merujuk kepada MyKad merah untuk penduduk tetap.

Menurut beliau lagi, golongan profesor di Malaysia sepatutnya sudah mampu menulis buku mengenai teknologi dalam Bahasa Melayu

Image via alumniuitm.org.my

"Kita mempunyai tenaga kerja, kita ada 10,000 ahli akademik dari 20 universiti awam dan dari beratus-ratus universiti swasta untuk menghasilkan penulisan berbentuk teknikal dalam Bahasa Melayu."Kita tidak perlukan satu bilion warga China belajar Bahasa Inggeris untuk menghantar rakyat China ke bulan, tidak perlu. Kita hanya memerlukan beberapa ratus orang untuk memahami bahasa asing."Kita juga tidak perlukan 31 juta rakyat Malaysia belajar Bahasa Inggeris untuk memahami teknologi. Malah, hanya satu peratus sudah cukup dan kemudian kita ajar dalam Bahasa Melayu. Ini yang sepatutnya berlaku," katanya.

You Won't Have To Slow Down At Toll Plazas After This New System Is Implemented In 2018

Most toll plazas in Malaysia have gone fully electronic and cashless in the past year as it is more convenient and efficient

Image via Wikia

However, using Touch 'n Go card and SmartTAG at tolls may be a thing in the past soon. This is because the authorities are planning to introduce a new system using the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.

Image via Sin Chew Daily

Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) director-general Datuk Ismail Md Salleh announced recently that a new digital payment system that uses RFID-based ETC (electronic toll collection) system will eventually replace current system for toll collection. It is said that this system would be even more advanced and efficient than using Touch 'n Go card and SmartTAG to pay at toll plazas.  With this new system, a road user would just need to stick a special tag on their vehicle and pass through a toll plaza without the need to slow down or come to a full stop. The sensors on the toll plaza would detect the tag, and the charge for passing through the toll is automatically debited from the motorist’s pre-loaded amount.

This new system is scheduled to be introduced to the public in stages starting from January 2018

Sin Chew Daily reported that MHA is conducting a trial run for this new system before allowing the public to use it as early as 28 January next year. On the other hand, The Star reported Ismail as saying that the RFID tag is already being used by the police and other authorities such as the Fire and Rescue Department and ambulance services. It was reported that they were exempted from paying toll.

This system is expected to solve traffic congestions at toll plazas

The new toll system is said to be similar to Singapore's  Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system.

Along with the new RFID-based ETC system, MHA is also planning to implement the multi-lane free flow (MLFF) system which will see toll booth plazas without barriers. The MLFF system is expected to ensure faster flow of traffic through the toll plaza as road users are able to zoom through with cashless payment.According to Ismail, each toll plaza would have at least a single lane provided for this new system to be tested out. The authorities will then expand to more lanes when it proves to be successful.It was reported that these systems will be fully implemented by 2020.

Do you think the new system will help to ease congestion at tolls? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

South Korean Hotel Cancelled Thai Tourist's Reservation Claiming Thais Are Unreliable

A Thai woman travelling to South Korea with her friends had her reservation cancelled by the hotel a few hours before check-in

The highly rated hotel, Incheon Airport Best Guesthouse had blacklisted the Thai tourist claiming Thais were unreliable, as reported by Coconuts. According to the female tourist, she had submitted a complaint to Booking.com as that was the only option available.  “The hotel’s in Korea, what can authorities here even do?" she said.

The problem began when the tourist forgot to update her payment information

“I lost my card and got a new one but forgot to update my information. … I got an email from Booking.com telling me to change it within 24 hours,” said the tourist on Twitter. An hour later, the hotel approached the tourist on Whatsapp asking her to update her information as soon as possible or they would accept another reservation. She explained to the hotel that according to the email, she had 23 hours left to update her information only to receive a nasty reply from them in return.

According to screenshots of the duo's exchange, the hotel cancelled her reservation on the last day of her trip with her British friends

The message also told the woman that her photo will be sent to "all the guesthouses in Incheon," claiming that she was "Blacklist No.112."According to Coconuts, the hotel also discriminated the Thais in rugged English during the exchange. “Thai always no show. You know same as you… Poor people poor life."

The tourist, who declined to give her name for fear of further hostility in the future, took to Twitter to share her experience

This sparked outrage among many Thais, who retweeted and commented on the woman's post while also sharing similar experiences during their travels. Some of the comments were:"'Poor people poor life,' that’s so discriminatory. I cannot accept that. That’s dissing an entire culture.""I've also experienced something similar. At that time, I was checking in at 9pm, the hotel said since there was a big concert and we didn’t call, they didn’t think we’d show. Luckily for us, we had a local friend who argued with them. They told the hotel that they were going to file a police report so they gave us KRW20,000 (about RM72) for our trouble." said another Twitter user.


"Treated Like Criminals" — 2 M'sians Denied Entry Into Germany Over Vaccine Criteria

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

Earlier this week, two brothers from Malaysia wished to celebrate Ramadan with their youngest brother in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The dream trip, however, turned into a 'nightmare' for the brothers.

The two Malaysians were not allowed to enter the country over the vaccine they received.Travelling from Kuala Terengganu, they were accompanying their parents, who were allowed entry.According to one brother, something was not right when they arrived at the airport on 19 March. The brother, who wanted to be known only as Fariq, 30, said that they are disappointed over what happened.

The brothers, who returned to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on Tuesday, 22 March, alleged they were treated like criminals

This, despite the fact that they had reportedly complied with every standard operating procedure and screening protocols that were set by their travel agency and Turkish Airlines, Fariq said.Commenting further, he hoped that the story of their bitter experience of being treated like criminals by the German Immigration authorities will be a cautionary tale for Sinovac recipients.They still expressed gratitude for being able to return home after spending 15 hours on two different flights.

Image via Kosmo!

While the brothers are fully vaccinated with the CoronaVac vaccine, Germany is one of the few countries that does not accept the vaccine

CoronaVac is developed by Chinese biopharmaceutical company Sinovac Biotech.Currently, Germany only recognises these COVID-19 vaccines:- Pfizer-BioNTech,- Moderna,- Novavax, and- AstraZeneca.Additionally, those who have received Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine must have received a second dose of an approved vaccine to be accepted as fully vaccinated by the German authorities.The two Malaysian brothers had received Pfizer-BioNTech as their booster jab.

Meanwhile, Malaysia will transition into the 'endemic' phase from 1 April. Here are the simplified COVID-19 guidelines you need to know:

How To Settle A Car Accident The Right Way

Everyone can do all the right things and be the safest driver on the planet. But let’s face it, accidents happen more often than not, especially in the busy streets of Klang Valley.

In fact, car accidents in Malaysia are on the rise. Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai has said that 489,606 accidents were reported in 2015, while there were 476,196 road accidents in 2014.

If you ever get involved in a car accident, there are certain things you can do to protect yourself and your interests. The following is a list of things you should do during and after getting into a car accident:

DURING THE CAR ACCIDENT

1. Before stepping out of the vehicle, move it to a safer place

Keep in mind that if you are in the middle of the road, it may be best to drive your vehicle to the side of the road to avoid another accident. Make hand signals to the other party involved as an indication to move to a safer location.

2. Step out of the vehicle and observe the damages of your car

Before stepping out, observe your surroundings and make sure you can leave your vehicle safely. You can prevent further accidents by keeping your flashers on, especially at night. Make sure the other party is getting down from the car as well.

3. Stay calm and don't panic even as a crowd gathers around

Malaysians' busybody nature means any accident will result in a lot of unwanted attention. Don’t panic when motorcyclists start pulling over and telling you they “know a guy who can fix your car for cheap” or tow trucks magically appear promising all sorts of assistance. Stay calm and don't let them sway your judgement.

4. Take pictures and exchange information

You should take pictures of the vehicles if there is visible damage. If you have visible injuries, you should photograph them as well - these pictures will come in handy. Don't forget to get the names, numbers, addresses, drivers' license numbers, license plate numbers, and basic insurance information from the other party. A reminder to always be cordial and cooperative to prevent any further misunderstandings between you and the other party.

5. Come to an agreement on the settlement

You and the other party could either opt to settle the problem amicably or make a police report at the nearest police station. In most minor accidents, drivers would prefer to come to an agreement on the amount that’s payable to the party at fault. The details you've gotten from the other party would be of great use at this point.  But what if you (or the other party) would prefer to file an insurance claim? You would first need to make a police report.

AFTER THE ACCIDENT

1. Make a police report

You'll have to bring along your driving license and identification card. At the police station, you will be attended to by a corporal. The details of the accidents and your personal particulars will be recorded. Next, you will be sent to meet a higher ranking officer. After a short inquiry, the officer will make a decision as to whether you are responsible or otherwise.Should you be found responsible, the officer will then issue you a summons, normally a compound summons. You can pay up the summons within one month.The next step, go down to the compounds of the police station to have a photograph taken of your damaged vehicle. Ideally, you are advised to get a copy (which cost RM2) of the police report a few days after.

2. Decide if you want to claim insurance

Image via Tech Replies

If you’re the guilty party in an accident, you may not want to put it an insurance claim if the damage is minor as that could affect your no-claims bonus (NCB). If the other party is found legally at fault, you might be able to claim for repair from your own without affecting the NCB.No-claims bonus (NCB) is a count of the number of years in which you haven’t made a claim on your car insurance policy. If you make a claim on your policy where your insurer pays out, you’ll generally lose some, or all, of your no-claims bonus. But if you’re hit by another car and it’s agreed that you weren’t at fault, your insurer may be able to reclaim the payout from the other car’s insurer and your NCB may not be affected.If you wish to put in a claim, inform your insurance company in writing as soon as possible. Failure to do this may result in you being liable for any losses, including the other party's claims against you.

3. Send your car to a relevant panel workshop

Image via ITE

You most likely would have to send your car to a relevant panel workshop approved by your insurance company. Most insurance companies have a list of workshops they partner with, so you won't have to worry about being ripped off. Do note that if you fail to send your car to an approved workshop, your claims might not go through.Your insurance company might also send over a loss adjuster to assess the damages of your car. Of course, if you’re not intending to make an insurance claim, you can head to any workshop for service.

With a little extra wisdom and experience under your belt, you should be back on the road in no time! Drive safe, guys!

Civil Servants Who Join Bersih 5 Or Red Shirts Rallies May Face These Severe Consequences

Severe disciplinary action awaits those civil servants who may take part in Bersih 5.0 or Red Shirts rallies this Saturday, 19 November

Image via Ida Lim/The Malay Mail Online

In a stern warning to civil servants to keep themselves from being involved in the rallies planned for this Saturday, the Public Service Department (PSD) has said that the department will take severe disciplinary action including termination and pay cut.The warning was issued by the Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Dr Ali Hamsa who said the disciplinary action will be decided upon the level of participation.While speaking at a press conference at the Civil Service Innovation Award in Melaka International Trade Centre in Melaka today, Dr Ali Hamsa said the PSD will seek a report from relevant authorities to determine if any civil servants had joined the rallies.

Speaking about the disciplinary action, Dr Ali Hamsa said:

"Our action will depend on how far are they involved. If a civil servant serves as a 'head' in the rallies or is caught creating a stir or chaos, severe action will be meted out. We will have to gauge the seriousness," adding that while police can act on the civil servants' criminal wrongdoings, the PSD will also take disciplinary action.

Image via Rasul Azli Samad/NST

According to NST, when asked how PSD plans to identify civil servants who are involved in the rallies on Saturday, Hamsa said this will be done via pictures played up in the news or social media

Civil servants, Hamsa said, should realise and not get involved in illegal rallies, and if photos of them participating in the rallies on Saturday show up in the news or social media, then the department will have no choice but to terminate them."We also have received complaints but then again, complaints must come with valid proof," he added, admitting that there have been participation by government staff in previous rallies but without proof the authorities could not take action against them.

Image via malaysiaoutlook

Hamsa, however, pointed out that it was important for civil servants to be more responsive towards citizens' needs and wants as providing service is different today as compared to years gone by

"Citizens can take to the social media to raise issues and it is the responsibilities of civil servants to adapt to such changes and be more responsive in attending to the issues raised by the people to better achieve their expectations," he was quoted by NST.

Meanwhile, both Bersih 5 and Red Shirts have been issued a final warning with Deputy PM Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi asking them to stand down ahead of their planned rallies this Saturday

"Action will be taken against both groups, whether red or yellow. So to prevent this from happening, both parties should call off their rallies.The police will not compromise in terms of action that will be taken against them under the law," Zahid Hamidi was quoted as saying by The Straits Times.

On the other hand, it's not just civil servants, even students have been warned of disciplinary action by two private universities:

                Monash University Will Act Against Its Students Who Join 'Illegal Gatherings'

The local branch of the university issued the warning without specifying any groups.

And Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri has warned Malaysians to follow the police warnings and not take part in the rallies:

                There Might Be Consequences If You Use The Freedom You Have, Warns Minister Ismail Sabri

"Not all freedoms must be used."

Malaysian Scientist Wins 'Nobel Prize' For Cancer Treatment Research

This is Prof Dr Serena Nik-Zainal.
This week, the Malaysian scientist was honoured with an award originally known as the 'Nobel Prize For Cancer Research'.

Image via Wellcome Sanger Institute

Dr Serena, who is based in the United Kingdom, was awarded the Dr Josef Steiner Cancer Research Prize 2019 for her breakthrough research in cancer genome interpretation for use in clinical practice.According to her biography posted on the University of Cambridge's Medical Research Council Cancer Unit, Dr Serena graduated with a degree in medicine from the university in 2000 on a scholarship from Petronas.She then pursued post-graduate studies in exploring whole genome sequencing for breast cancer at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Hinxton, a village south of Cambridge, in 2009.She was awarded a Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Advanced Clinician Scientist Fellowship in 2017 before moving to University of Cambridge to focus her genomics expertise towards clinical use.

Dr Serena carried out her research at Cambridge University in collaboration with two of her colleagues, Dr Paul Calleja and Dr Ignacio Medina

Their research showed how cancer tumour mutations can be studied using new bioinformatic methods, making way for new approaches in targeted cancer therapies, Malay Mail reported."The powerful combination of computational analytics and experimental insights helped to drive the development of clinical computational tools to interpret whole cancer genomes more effectively," Dr Serena was quoted as saying by Today Online."The rate-limiting step in cancer genomics today is not the ability to perform sequencing," she said."It is the expertise in performing downstream analysis and making a clinically-useful interpretation that remains the hurdle between genomic technology and the clinical context."

Dr Serena, and the two collaborating scientists, will be conferred the international award later today, 18 October, at the University of Bern in Switzerland

Their work, titled "Accelerating holistic cancer genome interpretation towards the clinic," will also be presented during the award ceremony.According to The Star, Dr Serena said that the Dr Josef Steiner Award would help encourage the university to advance in its expertise and develop novel, clinically meaningful algorithmic tools."We seek to consolidate our current knowledge into infrastructure that is appropriate for the future. We are building a more automated foundation that can be referred back to at any point."It needs to be more user-friendly for the next generation of clinicians and scientists to explore and be suitable for advanced data analytics," she said.

Meanwhile, Dr Serena has been overwhelmed by the congratulatory messages flooding her social media accounts

She took the opportunity to give credit to the team of people behind the work.

My WhatsApp, FB & twitter accounts have exploded! Please forgive delayed responses!Altho’ I am going topick up this #JosefSteiner award, it represents collective effort, laughter, tears, enthusiasm, passion, energy, hard work from my wonderful #TEAM #WishUWereWithMe pic.twitter.com/E32Yon7Ve3— Serena Nik-Zainal (@SerenaNikZainal) October 17, 2019

Video Shows A Woman Being Shamed For "Grabbing" Premium Seats On AirAsia Flight From KL

A female passenger on an AirAsia flight from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong was shamed after she decided to "upgrade" herself to a row of empty premium seats and make herself comfortable there

The incident that happened late last week, went viral after another AirAsia passenger, who was booked in premium class, posted about it on his Facebook profile.According to Bruce Lam's post, while the woman had booked a standard seat on the AirAsia flight, she decided to move to a row of empty premium seats.After she "upgraded" herself without paying any extra charges, she simply lay across a whole row of premium seats just before take-off.The cabin crew politely asked her to move back to her seat, trying to explain to her how her actions were not justified even though the premium seats were empty.After which, the woman went back to her standard seat, but it was short-lived as she kept returning to the premium seats on multiple occasions.She would then lay down on her neck pillow and start playing on her phone.

Image via Bruce Lam/Facebook

All this was too much for premium flyer Bruce Lam, who was sitting across the aisle. Bruce lost his cool after the woman refused to listen to the cabin crew's requests to move to her standard seat.

In his Facebook post, Bruce wrote that when the cabin crew asked the lady to return to her seat, the woman said angrily "why?"."I do not know if the flight attendants were too gentle and polite, but the woman had a bad attitude more than before. She was abusive and angry."

She finally went back to her standard seat after being shamed by a male passenger in the premium class who yelled at the woman

According to Bruce, who posted a short video of the argument, while the woman was being yelled at by the male passenger for her behaviour, she fought back saying where she seats in the plane was "none of your business"."The flight attendants have asked you for the third time to not sit here, but you still do it," the male passenger can be heard saying in the video.He also told her that it was most definitely not his business, but her "shameless" behaviour is why he wanted to tell her off.The 23-second-long mobile video then shows the woman getting up from the premium seats and returning to her standard seat. Watch the exchange in the video below:

Posted by Bruce Lam on Tuesday, 27 March 2018

After the incident, Bruce claims the cabin crew thanked the male passenger, saying: "We often encounter these rude guests"

At the time of writing this story, the Facebook post, which was posted on 27 March by Bruce had attracted hundreds of comments and had received over 6.7K shares.

Meanwhile, a couple who got married recently is taking the caterer they hired to the court for failing to live up to their expectations:

Sewage Clean-Up Turns Into A Gruesome Find Of A Headless Baby Chopped Up Into 15 Pieces

On 17 May, workers who were cleaning a sewage plan in the Kempas Permas public housing area at Johor Bahru were greeted with a gory sight when they discovered several pieces of meat stuck to a garbage trap

Image via worldcdn.net

The pieces of meat turned out to be dismembered body parts belonging to an infant. Horrified, the workers immediately informed their supervisor, who then notified the police.
Police have since confirmed that about 15 body parts have been recovered, minus the head. It is believed that a meat cleaver was used to chop up the infant before flushing the body parts down the toilet, while the head may have been disposed of or buried elsewhere.

Image via imgur.com

The police officer in charge of Johor Baru (North) district, Asst Comm Mohd Khamsani Abdul Rahman, said that the parts had been sent to the Sultanah Aminah Hospital for a post-mortem.

        thestar.com.my

“The body parts were found stuck in garbage traps. It is believed that the suspects tried to destroy evidence by flushing the body parts down the toilet,” he said today.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

“This explains the missing head, which may have been disposed or buried some place else as it would be too big to be flushed,” the source told The Rakyat Post today.A  meat cleaver was believed to have been used.

        therakyatpost.com

ACP Mohd Khamsani also said that the sewage plant is connected via pipes to the public housing area of 1,288 units. It is suspected that those responsible for the gruesome find may be living in the low-cost flats.

Image via The Star / Asia News Network

Police believe that it may be an act of desperation that led those responsible to chop up a newborn baby to be flushed down the toilet for ease of disposal.Investigators from the Johor Baru Utara police are not ruling out this possibility following yesterday’s gruesome find in a septic tank at the Kempas Permai residential flats area.Those involved were believed to be young and most probably in their teens.Police are checking on homes and health clinics in the Kempas Permai vicinity for leads into the case.

        therakyatpost.com

"We will be knocking on each door to find who is responsible," ACP Mohd Khamsani vowed.

This is the third case involving babies being cruelly left for dead this month. Last week, on 11 May, twin baby girls were found dead and abandoned in a cupboard at a complex in Macallum Street, Penang.

Image via The Star Online

The twins were wrapped in a towel and abandoned inside a cupboard at the stairway of the complex.

        thestar.com.my

Northeast district police chief ACP Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said a cleaner found the victims wrapped in towel about 10.30am."We believe the premature-born babies, aged between seven and eight months were left in the cupboard for less than 24 hours," he said. "The police have detained three foreign men to facilitate investigations while a search is underway for the dead twins' mother, believed to be a foreigner, too. The woman was known to live in the same block where the victims were found."He added that the cupboard which had no doors was left beside the lift in the past one week. Mior Faridalathrash requested clinics and hospitals with information on a woman who had just delivered twins to contact the nearest police station to facilitate investigations.

        bernama.com

Three days before that, a newborn baby girl with her umbilical cord still attached was found abandoned and left to drown inside a toilet tank at a petrol station in Pasir Besar, Gemas.

Image via White news wire

A police source said the baby girl which believed born on Thursday, found by the petrol station staff in the female washroom about 5pm. The source said the baby was still alive when being discovered, however, passed away when on the way to a clinic nearby. "We suspected the baby passed away due to drowning. Therefore police are hunting the suspect who abandoned the baby inside the toilet tank under Section 318 of the Penal Code for concealing a birth," the source said.

Since then, more Malaysians have shared with SAYS about their most awkward and horrible experiences. So, here's part two.

"He gave me a sob story about his wife... that he was still married to"

"We met up for our first date. But something felt off so I decided to do some Googling when I got back and I found his wedding video. I didn't tell him I knew and still showed up for a second date. I asked him about his family, etc, and asked how's his wife. That's when he gave me a sob story. "He said his work requires him to travel abroad a lot (which is true), and he and his wife were having marital issues, etc. Then, I called him out and he suddenly turned the story around and said he has been speaking with his pastor about it. But he very clearly just wanted to bring me upstairs after the hotel buffet breakfast date." — Rachel, 28

"There's the guy I thought was gonna choke me good [in bed] because he was really into Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ)... But turns out he just wanted someone to practise BJJ with. Literally." — Zoe, 27

"I thought we hit it off and he liked me but I found out he was just using me to get a job at my company"

"He matched with me and we were chatting. I thought we hit it off and he liked me. But then he started asking me about my job because my company name was on my profile. Turns out he just wanted to use me to get a job at my company. And to make it worse... he got the job, so I had to see him every day." — Sheila, 24

"She kept telling me how lovely her boyfriend is"

"I matched with this girl on Tinder, and we started talking. Then, she told me she already has a boyfriend, and that she was on the app to make new friends. And I was like, okay... sure. The weird part was that she kept telling me how lovely her bf is. But it turns out they had only been dating for a week. "A couple of days later, things took a big turn — he stopped replying to her, so she got super butthurt. She told me how she wanted to call things off. Seeing how kesian she was, I consoled her by telling her that she shouldn't jump to conclusions and that he could be busy. "Despite my consoling, she continued to wallow in self-pity. He finally replied to her, (thank god). But the next thing I knew, she called it off because he kept ignoring her. AND THEN, she told me something like, 'Soooo, you can start courting me now'. I stopped replying to her after that." — Timothy, 24

"He kept insisting on watching Netflix with me even when I said I didn't want to. Then, he refused to leave my place despite me dropping hints."

"He said he'd be going to the gym in the evening and that we could hang out for lunch. So we went for lunch as friends after I made it clear I wasn't looking for a relationship. Basically, I friend-zoned him and he agreed that we can just hang out as friends. But when he came over for a drink after lunch, he asked a lot of questions about my relationships with men on Bumble and probed to see if I was someone who wanted to do friends with benefits. "I started to feel uncomfortable so I hinted for him to leave by saying things like, 'Hey didn't you mention that you are going to the gym?'. But he continued to stay for several hours and kept asking to watch Netflix with me. I told him I don't have a TV and I usually just watch it on my phone... alone. With no one else. Then, he kept insisting that we do that and I said, 'Um, no. I don't want to.'"Eventually, I hinted three more times for him to leave and he finally did. BTW, did I mention that he used a fake name on his profile? So many red flags. Ugh. D: " — Jess, 28

"He said he could pay me for hugs and cuddles"

"He said he works with United Nations and was a part-time model. Then he wanted to meet, but didn't have a car and asked me to pick him up around 9pm! That didn't happen. For awhile, we were texting and he had asked for my IG, and that's when things got funny. Out of the blue, he said he'd pay me for hugs and cuddles." — Alyssa, 29

"He called me a joke for being a virgin"

"We were having quite a good conversation until at one point, the guy started asking about my sexual preferences / habits / experience and stuff. I told him I was a virgin and he called me stupid. He went on to say how I was stupid for keeping my virginity, and that no guys would ever want me 'cause I wouldn't know how to please them. He called me a joke too." — Sara, 22
