Najib's CNY Banners in Penang: Koyak banner = tolak Malaysia?

Lim Guan Eng defends his government

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said in a press statement on Sunday that a small issue had been blown out of proportion.

        theborneopost.com

Penang government should remove own banners too

Datuk Ibrahim Ali, president of the Malay right-wing group Perkasa, urged the Bar Council to investigate the matter, saying it involved the nation’s top leader.

        themalaysiantimes.com.my

The Penang government has been urged to remove billboards and banners carrying pictures of their leaders in the state, as there were no apparent approval from the local authorities to display them.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Tearing down PM's CNY banners is undemocratic

“If you want to make festive greetings, we have no objection. So, we are puzzled with this unwarranted attitude of showing power in an improper place,” said Malacca Chief Minister.

        freemalaysiakini2.com

Political analyst Assoc Prof Datuk Zainal Abidin Borhan said the Penang government showed political immaturity through such action which he felt could turn sensitive.

        mysinchew.com

The Tourism Minister said Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng should apologise for the disrespectful behavior towards a prime minister of Malaysia.

        mmail.com.my

Tindakan menurunkan kain rentang ucapan Tahun Baharu Cina Perdana Menteri Najib Tun Razak di Pulau Pinang mencerminkan ketidakmatangan politik yang diamal kerajaan Penang.

        antarapos.com

"Sekiranya sebuah banner (dengan gambar perdana menteri) dikoyak ia bermakna menolak Malaysia," kata Menteri Pelancongan.

        1agenda.org.my

Lim perlu ingat Najib adalah Perdana Menteri Malaysia termasuk Pulau Pinang. Memijak muka perdana menteri adalah sama seperti memijak muka Malaysia," kata Menteri Pelancongan.

        malaysiakini.com

The prime minister was elected by the people, such act was tantamount to disrespectful of the principles of democracy embedded in the constitution.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Penang government tore down Najib's CNY banners

“It is so sad to see it treated like that, just dragged out and crushed like an illegal advertisement…what is wrong with the Prime Minister greeting the people of his nation?"

        nst.com.my

MPSP officials held a ‘crackdown’ of sorts when they brought down nearly a dozen of the New Year banners as it was apparently displayed without a permit from the council.

        nst.com.my

Feedback received had also indicated that some people had stepped on the banners bearing the prime minister's image, after they were pulled down.

[PHOTOS] This Dad And His Tiny Lego Friend Went On A 365-Day Adventure Together

When his kids discovered the Lego camera accessory which fits in the hand of the mini Lego man, Andrew had a lightbulb moment

“I love to document everyday things and build them into mini-series,” Whyte says. “But quite often there's nothing cohesive about what I shoot from one day to the next. As soon as my kids discovered the camera accessory at the Lego store, which fits in the hand of a mini-figure, I worked out a way to start placing the character in my day-to-day shots and he became a cohesive element. For the whole year, I really never left home without the figure.”

“The whole series thrived on spontaneity so for the most part there was no planning involved,” he says

There are shots out in nature and there are some in metropolitan settings, there’s interaction with animals and industrial machines, inclement weather and bright sunny days. The one thing there is very little of, however, is shots at night, since lighting is difficult using an iPhone.

"The end is nigh."

TIP from the photographer himself: hold your phone upside down so your lens is close to the ground. It gives your small subject magnitude.

"Perhaps the most important thing the iPhone brings, though, is the ability to manipulate scale. By getting in close to the mini figure I can make the character look life-size, to better fit in with his surroundings." -Andrew Whyte
Image via akamaihd.net

This behind-the-scenes image from a previous shoot shows the common distance between camera & figure. The iPhone's minimum focusing distance is about 4" - I just need to be able to get light onto the back of the figure to help the camera focus, hence often carrying a torch.

        facebook.com

Holding the phone upside down, for instance, rendered the lens low enough to look up at the figure and give him a sense of magnitude. The difference in depth of field, by which the background turns blurry, occurs naturally depending on how close Whyte positions the camera to the figure, often less than 8 to 10cm apart.

Here's Why You Got Logged Out Of Your Facebook Account (Hint: A Major Hack Has Happened)

If you've been logged out of your Facebook account and asked to sign back in, it's because some 50 million user accounts have been compromised after Facebook suffered a major hack this week

In a blog post, Facebook's vice president of product management Guy Rosen said:"On the afternoon of Tuesday, 25 September, our engineering team discovered a security issue affecting almost 50 million accounts."We're taking this incredibly seriously and wanted to let everyone know what’s happened and the immediate action we’ve taken to protect people’s security."Our investigation is still in its early stages. But it's clear that attackers exploited a vulnerability in Facebook’s code that impacted "View As" a feature that lets people see what their own profile looks like to someone else. This allowed them to steal Facebook access tokens which they could then use to take over people's accounts."

Image via Voz via Hazem Bader/AFP/Getty Images

While the full extent of the massive security breach remains unknown, it affects more than just a user's Facebook account

For example, if your account was impacted it means that a hacker could have accessed any account - including Instagram - that you log into using Facebook.In a second, follow-up conference call with reporters on Friday, Facebook revealed this information, which drastically widens the potential impact of the hack.Basically, hackers are now believed have access to other services in which a person used their Facebook account to register, including apps like Tinder, Spotify, and Airbnb. While it is not yet clear whether this has actually occurred, the possibility may force the other companies to undertake their own investigations into the issue.

Image via Instagram

Coming back to the part about if you were logged out

The reason you were logged out of your account because Facebook invalidated the access tokens for the 50 million affected accounts.It was a safety step - after patching the security vulnerability - taken by Facebook to ask users to log back in to access their accounts again.In a post on his account, Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg addressed the issue, writing, "As a precautionary measure, even though we believe we've fixed the issue, we're temporarily taking down the feature that had the security vulnerability until we can fully investigate it and make sure there are no other security issues with it."While the security breach impacted around 50 million accounts, the precaution taken by Facebook - resetting access tokens - means around 90 million people will now have to log back into Facebook, or any of their apps that use Facebook Login.

Said to be the largest hack in Facebook's history, it also affected accounts of Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg

However, it's unclear who has been affected, what kind of data has been stolen, or who carried out the attack, according to a report in the BBC."The firm would not say where in the world the 50 million users are, but it has informed Irish data regulators, where Facebook's European subsidiary is based. The company said the users prompted to log-in again did not have to change their passwords."

I asked Facebook how sophisticated the hackers were and whether this could be nation-state activity. Rosen says attack was "complex" and leveraged three multiple bugs that interacted together. "We may never know" the identity of the hackers, Rosen adds.— Dustin Volz (@dnvolz) September 28, 2018

Here's a video of Guy Rosen, VP of Product Management at Facebook, sharing details about the hack and the steps they took:

Guy Rosen, VP of Product ManagementPosted by Facebook on Friday, 28 September 2018

Meanwhile, in light of the hack, Chester Wisniewski, Principal Research Scientist at Sophos, a security company, shared how the truly concerned people should use this hack as a reminder to review all their security settings on Facebook and outside

"In something as big and complicated as Facebook, there are bound to be bugs. The theft of these authorisation tokens is certainly a problem, but not nearly as big of a risk to user's privacy as other data breaches we have heard about or even Cambridge Analytica for that matter."As with any social media platform, users should assume their information may be made public, through hacking or simply through accidental oversharing. This is why a sensitive information should never be shared through these platforms," he said.

During the Cambridge Analytica scandal, third parties were found to be scraping Facebook data and using it to target ads:

Perv Posing As A Singapore Photographer Tried To Lure This Malaysia-Based Cosplayer

Kino Mikii, a Malaysia-based cosplayer who also moonlights as a freelance model, was recently approached online by a pervert who claimed to be a photographer from Singapore

The pervert, who goes by the name Michael Alex, contacted Mikii on Instagram for a photo shoot involving "cosplay bikini theme".

Image via Kino Mikii

Image via Kino Mikii

Image via Kino Mikii

He then asked Mikii if she can model for him wearing bra & thong and pose with adult products, offering her SGD2,000 (approx RM6,000) and that he was willing to pay more

Image via Kino Mikii

Image via Kino Mikii

Image via Kino Mikii

After Mikii rejected the shoot, the man still persisted to ask her he could use his "product" on Mikii after photo shoot

Image via Kino Mikii

Image via Kino Mikii

Mikii then decided to screenshot their conversation and posted it on her Facebook page to warn others about him

At the time of writing this story, Mikii's post, which was uploaded on Facebook on 28 November, has received over 100 comments from her friends and fans and was shared for more than 600 times with over 750 people reacting to it.

Image via Kino Mikii

Although, there are comments on Mikii's FB post, claiming that she has faked the screenshots shown in her post

When a person sends a DM to someone on Instagram, it's the sender's name that should show on top and not the receiver's.On Mikii's screenshots, it is, in fact, her name that shows on top and not the sender's.

Earlier in August this year, a woman bravely confronted a man after she saw him taking photos of other women:

"Happy 95th Birthday, Tun M!" - Suka Watak 'Thor' & 4 Lagi Fakta Menarik Tentang Tun M

Hari ini, 10 Julai 2020, merupakan hari lahir ke-95 buat Bekas Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

Image via fbcdn.net

Alhamdulillah. Dengan izin Allah, Tun Mahathir yang juga dikenali sebagai Tun M diberikan peluang buat kali kedua untuk mengetuai barisan kerajaan negara baru-baru ini sebelum beliau meletak jawatan.Syabas, Tun M!

Di bawah kami senaraikan beberapa fakta tentang Tun M yang mungkin tidak semua orang tahu. Comel aje Perdana Menteri kita ni!

1. Tun M sangat sukakan telefon pintar miliknya iaitu iPhone. Tapi beliau masih belum boleh untuk fahami iPhone sepenuhnya.

Image via Tun Dr Mahathir / Facebook

Sejak Tun M meneruskan perjuangan dan berkempen untuk parti Pakatan Harapan, beliau sering dinampak menggunakan telefon pintarnya, iaitu iPhone 7 Plus untuk mengambil gambar-gambar atau detik bersejarah yang sedang berlaku.Untuk pengetahuan anda, telefon jenis iPhone 7 Plus ini telah dikeluarkan sekitar tiga tahun lalu iaitu pada tahun 2016. Namun begitu, Perdana Menteri Malaysia ini masih tidak ada masalah untuk menggunakannya kerana sistem pengendalian telefon tersebut masih dikemaskini oleh Apple.Menurut beliau, telefon pintar ini jauh lebih mudah untuk beroperasi berbanding Android. Namun, beliau sendiri mengaku bahawa beliau tidak tahu bagaiamana untuk menggunakan telefon itu sepenuhnya walaupun telefon itu miliknya.

			"Walaupun saya bayar untuk keseluruhan penggunaan telefon pintar iPhone 7 Plus ini, namun saya sendiri sebenarnya tidak tahu bagaimana untuk menggunakan telefon itu sepenuhnya."
        Tun M

2. Tun M adalah jenis yang 'Old School'

Image via The Coverage

Tun M ini sebenarnya Old School! Kenapa?Mana tidaknya, seperti yang kita tahu, bekas Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak sering menggunakan terma 'bossku' untuk mengejek Tun M dan penyokongnya. Namun ianya kini digantikan oleh Tun M dengan terma dan cara yang lebih kelas dan sesuai dengan umurnya.Tanpa menggunakan apa-apa 'memes', Tun M sebaliknya menulis sajak atau puisi Melayu untuk membalas kembali terma yang diberikan oleh Datuk Seri Najib dan penyokongnya, menurut laporan The Borneo Post.Simple, old school dan berbudi bahasa walaupun sudah berumur 94 tahun.

Image via The Borneo Post

3. Tun M peminat tegar kereta dan masih gemar untuk memandu

Tun M yang dilihat sedang memandu kereta jenis Ferrari berwarna merah di Sepang International Circuit bersama Tan Sri Azman Yahya pada 1 Ogos 2018.
Image via theborneopost.com

Walaupun sedang berada di tengah-tengah kontroversi mengenai penentuan untuk kereta kebangsaan yang ketiga, mungkin ramai tidak tahu bahawa Tun M merupakan salah seorang individu yang boleh dipanggil peminat kereta dan begitu gemar untuk memandu sendiri.Malah, setelah kali kedua bergelar Perdana Menteri Malaysia, beliau masih memandu di sekitar bandar untuk melihat ibu kota. Sejak daripada itu, beliau telah mengambil supercar iaitu Ferrari untuk perjalanan di sekitar litar Sepang.Tun M turut bercanda bahawa orang yang berumur seperti dirinya tidak lagi mampu untuk memandu kereta secara fizikalnya.

4. Tun M minat filem Avengers. Lebih-lebih lagi watak Thor!

Image via theborneopost.com

Walaupun jadual kerja beliau begitu padat, Tun M masih sempat meluangkan masa untuk berhimpun bersama adiwira dunia ciptaan Marvel, pasukan The Avengers di Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur pada 27 Jun 2019 yang lalu.Ketibaannya bersama isteri tercinta, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah telah disambut oleh keseluruhan anggota pasukan Avengers iaitu Thanos, Iron Man dan Captain America. Beliau turut berkata bahawa kemajuan teknologi pembikinan filem itu memang amat mengagumkan, menurut laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Malaysia Kini.Untuk pengetahuan anda, watak karaktor yang menjadi pilihan dan kesukaan Tun M adalah Thor (big man with big axe katanya). Memang terbaiklah, Tun M!

Image via Gempak.com

			“Saya suka yang besar tu, yang pakai kapak. Garang!"
        Tun M

5. Tun M kini bekerja lebih keras dan membuatkan Tun Siti Hasmah risau

Image via says.com

Berbanding dengan dirinya sebelum menjadi Perdana Menteri buat kali kedua ini, Tun M seolah-olah memerlukan lebih banyak masa untuk mencapai apa yang diingini seumur hidupnya setahun yang lalu. Isteri tercinta juga turut menjelaskan bahawa sebelum ini Tun M akan mula bekerja pada 8am - 5pm, namun waktu tersebut kini telah dinaikkan kepada 8:30am - 6pm setiap hari.Ada juga hari di mana beliau tertidur di atas sofa sambil menonton saluran berita Al-Jazeera kerana kepenatan. Tun Hasmah turut mengatakan bahawa, sebagai penolong peribadi kepada Tun M, ianya adalah terpulang kepada Tun Hasmah untuk menentukan bahawa suaminya itu akan berehat pada hujung minggu dan hanya menghadiri majlis yang tidak memenatkan dan lebih casual.Pasangan ini juga turut mengenal pasti tahap keintiman mereka di mana ia merupakan rahsia untuk setiap perkahwinan yang dibina. Tun M juga membuat pengakuan bahawa walaupun Tun Hasmah tidak akan menggangu ketika beliau sedang sibuk bekerja, beliau sebenarnya tidak boleh tahan tanpa Tun Hasmah di sisinya ke manapun beliau pergi.

Apa pun, kami mengucapkan Selamat Hari Lahir yang ke-94 buat Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad!

Semoga Tun M panjang umur dan sentiasa dilindungi oleh Yang Maha Esa. Amin.

Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has been receiving praise online after a video of His Majesty driving and giving way to an ambulance with its sirens on was posted to the official Istana Negara Facebook page.In the 11-second clip, the Agong can be seen driving on the left lane of a road before an ambulance overtakes his vehicle on the right lane. His right hand can be seen balancing on the right window of the car with the frame rolled down, signalling to the ambulance to overtake him.After the ambulance passes, His Majesty can be seen moving back to the right lane, with a royal escort riding just a few feet in front of his car.

In the caption of the Facebook post, it was revealed that His Majesty was on his way from Pekan, Pahang, to the Abdulaziz Palace in Kuantan

"HRH His Majesty Yang di-Pertuan Agong prioritised a citizen who was in a state of emergency by giving way to an ambulance in Pekan, Pahang, this evening."His Royal Majesty was on his way to the Abdulaziz Palace in Kuantan from Pekan, when the ambulance, which was carrying a patient who required immediate medical attention, appeared behind his motorcade," read the caption.

News of the dangerous Batu Kapal road that ends in the forest has reached the Ministry of Works.Minister of Works Datuk Fadillah Yusof said in a tweet to JKR Terengganu, JKR Malaysia and SAYS that safety of public must be put first all the time. In a back and forth tweet between JKR Malaysia and Yusof, JKR was seen reporting to the minister that a road closure sign has been installed and a permanent guardrail is also under works. Yusof also instructed JKR to make sure that the road closure sign is visible at night. At the same time, Dr Sam Walton replied to JKR Terengganu requesting for reflectors to the added to the barriers. Today, JKR Malaysia informed SAYS that reflective signages are being installed. A permanent dead-end sign has also been erected. Secretary General Ministry of Works Dato' Sri Zohari Akob has congratulated JKR for their swift action.

28 Feb: JKR's explanation on why they built a road to nowhere puzzles UK professor

Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) has responded to SAYS about the immediate action that they have taken to make the Batu Kapal road safer. In a Facebook comment, JKR Corporate Communication says they have erected warning signs and plastic barriers at the location. Moving on, they will be installing a permanent sign board to inform motorists of the road closure.

According to Dr Sam Walton, JKR has also replied him with an explanation of why the perplexing road ends abruptly in a forest reserve. Hafizulazrin bin Hassan from JKR Hulu Terengganu said in a short email that the T177 road is a state road. It was supposed to end at Batu Kapal, which is a tourist destination, but due to constraints of resources the road ended 1km away from it.

SAYS secured a copy of the official complaint that was sent to the Terengganu state JKR. It was revealed that construction of the road started on 15 December 2008 and was completed on 9 September 2010. The road was contracted by the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development, with JKR Terengganu leading the project and JKR Hulu Terengganu as the on-site officer. JKR also proposed a long-term solution for the road to be connected to the Batu Kapal tourist destination.

"Apparently Batu Kapal was actually designed to be a "tourist trap" in the first place," says Dr Walton says. However, he is perplexed that the road was just left unfinished for five years. "Seems like they're doing something about it now at least."

26 Feb: A professor from UK and a group of international academics narrowly avoided death after driving on a road in Terengganu that ended abruptly at a forest with no warning

Image via Dr Sam Walton

Dr Sam Walton, a research lecturer at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) was driving a party of prominent academics to Tasik Kenyir at 10pm on 16 February 2015 when he took a wrong turn and ended up on a main road signposted "Batu Kapal"

Image via Dr Sam Walton

It was smooth driving all the way on the well-constructed main road until it ended abruptly, with no warning signs, in a forest reserve area. The main road turned about to be an unfinished or abandoned road.

Image via Dr Sam Walton

With no street lamps, slow signs, barriers nor reflectors, Dr Walton was not able to see the end of the road in the darkness of the night

Image via Dr Sam Walton

He could not stop his Mitsubishi Pajero in time. The car hit a ditch, careered into the jungle, and carved out a chunk of the hillside before stopping. The group narrowly avoided a fatal crash into a tree.

Image via Dr Sam Walton

The group was lucky to escape unhurt, but they were traumatised and stranded in the middle of nowhere

Image via Dr Sam Walton

The next morning, Dr Walton returned to the crash site to retrieve his car. To his surprise, word of the crash had gotten out overnight and a surprising number of locals were gathered there, ready to help.

Image via Dr Sam Walton

"The car had crashed into the earth and surrounding vegetation. The impact of the crash left a big ditch for the car to cross back to the road. There was absolutely no way to get the car out by reversing, towing or winching, we had to get a wheel loader."With prompt help and kindness from the local villagers, Dr Walton was able to quickly find a contractor who was willing to help."A friend and I drove into a nearby town where we found a construction site. My friend, Professor Reuben Clements asked the site foreman if he could get us a wheel loader and he made a phone call. By the time we returned to the crash site, the driver was already filling in the ditch between the road and the car. After that, he hitched a tow rope onto my car's tow bar and started to drag my car out of the forest." A crowd of locals helped Dr Walton to change the passenger side tyre that was now blown, but the replacement tyre also blew out on the way to a garage as the alignment was badly damaged. "We were left stranded on the side of a rural road. After a while, a nice man in a minibus pulled over and gave us a ride to Kuala Berang where we could find a tow truck. We spent the rest of the day tracking down a tow truck and recovering my car for the second time."

According to locals, this was the sixth accident to have occurred at this very spot. However, the authorities have yet to implement any preventive measures.

Image via Dr Sam Walton

"This not only represents extreme negligence but also demonstrates the sustained ignorance and incompetence of local authorities, and a complete disregard for public safety," says Dr Walton

"The road is signposted "Batu Kapal" on an official blue signboard, it's not been taped over or blacked out to indicate there is nothing at the end of the road. There are no dead-end signs along the road at all to give drivers some warning. There are no slow signs, no lines on the road or other markings to give drivers notice, and last but by no means least there are no barriers, lights, signs or even simple reflectors at the end of the road, making it impossible to see the road's end at night," Dr Walton told SAYS.

In a complaint letter to the Public Works Department (JKR), Dr Walton says deaths are guaranteed if the road remains like this

Image via Dr Sam Walton

"Apparently your organisation didn't feel the need to make drivers aware of the abrupt stop in a forest reserve area that awaits them at the end of the unfinished or abandoned road."

Besides urging JKR to install accident preventive measures, he is also seeking the department to bourne the RM5,000 cost of recovering his car from the crash

Image via Dr Sam Walton

"Whilst the main objective of this letter is to ensure that accident prevention measures are put in place to prevent future fatalities, this accident has personally cost me approximately RM5,000... Please can you at least compensate me for the costs incurred during recovery and repair following the crash. I won’t ask for compensation for the stress and trauma my passengers and I have been subjected to as long as my immediate shortfall is offset."

Dr Walton, who has worked in Terengganu for over a year, says he wants JKR to take responsibility because he cares about the image of Terengganu. "This pointless and dangerous road to nowhere with no purpose or accident prevention measures is frankly ridiculous and very embarrassing."

Image via Dr Sam Walton

"I think it's important as this road is bloody dangerous! And there are many roads like this that are just ignored and forgotten. My guests, who happen to be prominent foreign academics, probably left the area with the perception that Terengganu is a bit of joke. How can we expect to appeal to visitors if this is the example we demonstrate?"

To add salt to the wound, his favourite fishing rod was stolen from his car when it was left overnight in the forest

Image via Dr Sam Walton

"I guess I should be grateful that this is the worst thing that happened, but I loved that damn rod!"

JKR has responded to Dr Walton's complaint letter, saying that they are investigating the matter

In an email reply to Dr Walton's complaint letter, JKR response was:"We are very sorry for what had happened to you and your friends. We are doing our investigation and at the same time will take necessary action to it. Your's Sincerely, Hafizulazrin bin Hassan JKR Hulu Terengganu (Road Section)."

Dr Walton has been told not to expect a response, but he is keeping his fingers crossed. He explains that if people don't make a complaint because of the perception that the authorities don't care, it would only breed complacency.

"I had been told not to expect a response, but I wanted to give the JKR a chance before I make my judgement. I think there is a perception here that the authorities don't care so people perhaps don't complain when they should. This kind of perception is just as damaging to society as the lack of authority action as it breeds complacency. If people don't complain because they have no faith it'll work, then how can the authorities asses their performance?"

With the support of UMT behind his back, Dr Walton sees it as his duty to influence the authorities to put in effort and make our roads a safer place

Image via Dr Sam Walton

To prove his point, he also made a video of his endeavour to further inspire change

March Records Over 600,000 Malaysians Left Unemployed Due To MCO

The unemployment rate in Malaysia has reached a 10-year high, with over 600,000 individuals losing their jobs in March 2020

The data was released by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) in its Labour Force Statistics, Malaysia, March 2020 report today, 8 May.The report noted that the current unemployment rate as of March 2020 stood at 3.9%, the highest since June 2010 (3.6%).In comparison to the same period last year, March 2020 accounted for 610,500 unemployed Malaysians, while March 2019 recorded 521,300 - a whopping 17% increase."Unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted) in March 2020 also increased to 3.9% as compared to 3.3% in the previous month," said the report.

The DOSM attributed the enforcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO) to the devastating increase of Malaysians losing their jobs

It cited employers and self-employed individuals were the worst-hit group, which made up 2.81 million out of the 15.84-million strong labour force in Malaysia.The group consisted of freelancers and traders, who worked in industries such as farmer markets, nightmarkets, and caterings. "These group of workers were exposed to the risk of unemployment and work losses that affect their income during the MCO, partly due [to being] unable to work," said the DOSM.The MCO was enforced on 18 March as part of the nationwide social distancing measure to curb COVID-19. All businesses that were not deemed essential services were told to shut down during the period.

Meanwhile, chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said the sales recorded by wholesale and retail trade in March suffered a 5.7% year-on-year decrease

A whopping 52.6% of Malaysians reported that their finances were severely impacted during this period.

20-Year-Old British Sniper Kills 6 Taliban Fighters With A Single Bullet

In what is being referred to as "a record breaking shot," a British sniper killed 6 Taliban fighters simply by 1 bullet

Representational Picture
Image via ibtimes.com

A single amazing shot from a British marksman’s rifle killed a suicide bomber in Afghanistan – and five of his fellow terrorists as they were about to launch a bloody attack.

        nypost.com

The 20-year-old sniper made this insane shot in Kakaran, a region in southern Afghanistan, last December

Representational Picture
Image via thedailybeast.com

His accomplishment wasn't revealed until now, but according to his commanding officer, the shot prevented a major attack on British forces — a second suicide bomb was discovered nearby.

        policymic.com

So how did he take out 6 Taliban insurgents with a single bullet? How, and from a 850-meter distance?

Representational Picture
Image via wordpress.com

The British soldier knew that a clean shot would take his enemy down. The only thing he didn't know was that his one bullet would kill five other friends of the enemy present. Apparently, his rifle round triggered the explosion from the vest worn by his target, killing all the men present around him.

        ibtimes.co.in

"The guy was wearing a vest. He was identified by the sniper moving down a tree line and coming up over a ditch."

"He had a shawl on. It rose up and the sniper saw he had a machine gun. "They were in contact and he was moving to a firing position. The sniper engaged him and the guy exploded. There was a pause on the radio and the sniper said, 'I think I've just shot a suicide bomber.' The rest of them were killed in the blast," Lt Col Slack told the Telegraph.

        policymic.com

The sniper, supposedly a lance corporal, who was not named due to security reasons, was on a mission to intercept a suspected suicide bomber

Commandos and soldiers had feared that the bomber was planning to blow himself up at either a UK base, a civilian target such as school or a government building or an Afghan security checkpoint. But before the bomber could execute his plans, the British sniper reportedly blew him up with the help of one triggering bullet that blew up the entire area he was present in.

        ibtimes.co.in

As the British troops were moving to tackle the suicide bomber, they are said to have ran into attacks from a group of 20 Taliban. A massive firefight broke out between the troops and Taliban group as the soldiers were moving to tackle the bomber.

The sniper is also known to have killed another Taliban machine gunner from a staggering 4,400 feet on the first shot on his tour of duty.

Orang Johor "Serang" Erma Fatima Sebab Hina Sultan?

Belum sampai seminggu berlangsungnya istiadat kemahkotaan Sultan Johor kelima pada 23 Mac lalu, timbul pula satu isu panas yang mengaitkan nama pengarah terkenal, Erma Fatima

Image via sinarharian.com.my

Apa yang telah Erma lakukan? Beliau didapati memuat naik gambar seekor singa duduk di atas takhta dengan latar belakang merah biru, beserta kapsyen puitis yang didakwa seolah-olah menghina Sultan Johor.

Image via Instagram Erma Fatima

Kapsyen itu berbunyi: "Alangkah bertuahnya orang yang bernama... bertakhta... berpangkat dan berpingat... Bebas berkata... Bebas membunuh budaya...Bebas membodohkan sesiapa... Sesuka hati mempersendakan bangsa... Dia peduli apa... Yang peliknya... Tinta-tinta perkasa pun menjadi kelu, lesu dan bisu... Kalau si marhain yg melakukannya... Sudah pasti tinta-tinta akan menari-nari dgn lakaran berwarna-warni... Tak muat bangunan KLCC gambaran cemuhan diberi... Ha..ha...ha...hipokritnya manusia!!!"

        malaysiandigest.com

Dalam sekelip mata, posting itu mendapat perhatian. Orang ramai terutama rakyat negeri Johor bertindak "menyerang" dan mencemuh tindakan beliau yang begitu lantang mempersenda golongan pemerintah.

Image via Oh Bulan

Erma kemudian telah meminta maaf atas tidakannya yang tidak sengaja mengusir perasaan sesetengah pihak dan menerangkan motif sebenar gambar dan kapsyen itu dimuatnaik

Image via http://www.malaysiandigest.com

Image via Instagram Erma Fatima

Adik kepada pengarah dan pelakon tersebut, Umie Aida turut mempertahankan tindakan Erma dan memberitahu baginya perkara itu langsung tidak ada kena mengena dengan sultan

Image via Instagram Umie Adia

Walau bagaimanapun, perkara itu hanyalah salah faham menurut Erma Fatima. Mungkin kerana 'timing' gambar itu dimuat naik hanya beberapa hari selepas hari kemahkotaan Sultan Johor

Untuk pengetahuan, ini bukanlah pertama kali Erma dihadapkan dengan kontroversi

Image via www.pingje.org

Antara kontroversi yang dihadapnya termasuklah kontroversi pelakon berkemban di dalam filem 'Tahta 3 Ratu', gambarnya hisap rokok yang tersebar di laman sosial dan kes Rebecca Nur Islam menyamannya untuk drama 'Dejavu Di Kinabalu'.

Kajang Father Arrested For Allegedly Prostituting His 13-Year-Old Daughter To Over 20 Men

A man in Kajang was recently arrested for allegedly raping his 13-year-old daughter

Harian Metro reported that the 43-year-old suspect was apprehended at his home in Pandan Indah on Tuesday, 14 July.The arrest came after Teratai state legislative assembly member Bryan Lai Wai Chong was made aware of the sexual assault by the victim's relative.Lai ordered the victim to be taken Ampang Hospital for a check-up and a police report was filed against the father on Saturday, 11 July.

Image via Harian Metro

Initial investigations also found that the suspect prostituted his daughter to several different men

Kajang district police chief ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan told New Straits Times that the victim's father had raped her three years ago when she was 10."But that stopped when the victim's mother found out about it and scolded the man," he said.The victim, who is now 13 years old, said her father had forced her to sleep with other men whenever her mother was not home. "She said she was forced to have sex with at least 20 men," he added.Mohd Zaid noted that the exploitation started around 2019 when the victim was just 12 years old. It is learned that the men would pay the suspect RM100 for each visit. "The suspect brought the 'customers' to their home and forced the victim to 'serve' them."

Image via Malaysia Gazette

Five of the suspected 'customers' have been remanded by the authorities to assist with investigations

In another report, Harian Metro stated that the men were arrested in Cheras and Kajang yesterday.The case is being investigated under Section 376B/372 of the Penal Code and Section 43(1)(a) of the Child Act.Those with information about the case should contact the nearest station or investigation officer Inspector Hafiza at +6018-3903410 or +603-89114222.

"All onboard safely disembarked via two slide rafts. No injuries have been reported so far. The safety of all passengers is of utmost priority to Malaysia Airlines," MAS said.The Malaysia Airline has launched an investigation to find out why the plane skidded.

One of the passengers took to Facebook to share the incident. He said though the plane had an awkward landing, everyone was safe.

Another passenger said the flight went through turbulence in a thunderstorm as it was nearing the airport, adding that the plane had to circle above Sibu for half an hour,According to theSundayPost, the passenger said the pilot attempted to land at 10pm but was unsuccessful and had to pull up into the air again."He made the second attempt shortly and on touching down, the front wheel of the plane seemed to have been damaged and the plane skidded on the runway. We all made the emergency exit by sliding," theSundayPost quoted him as saying.

The Sibu airport has been closed until 10pm tonight, 9 April, for the removal of the aircraft, which is lying on its belly next to the runway

While all the passengers and crew members were safe, the aircraft sustained substantial damage as its nose gear collapsed in the incident.The passengers drenched in the rain were shaken but were grateful they were safe.MAS said it has deployed its air recovery kit from KL to assist with the removal of the plane, which went off Runaway 13 and landed on the soft ground at the airport."An aircraft investigation team is also on the way to assess the site," MAS said.

As a result of the incident, though, a total of 48 flights involving nearly 4,000 passengers have been cancelled today, 9 April

Research Shows That Taking Pictures Of Your Food Can Make It Taste Better

If you feel the need to whip your camera phone out every time you have a aesthetically pleasing meal...

Image via Spencer Davis - Unsplash

You'd be pleased to know that those pictures do more than just get you likes on Instagram

New research suggests that taking pictures of your food before you eat can actually help make it taste better

A study published in the Journal of Consumer Marketing found that we perceive the taste of food differently when we take a picture of it.For the study, participants were asked to either eat their food straight away or take a picture of it first. Then, they were asked to give their food a score, evaluating its taste. It was found that those who documented their food, reported higher taste scores and overall satisfaction with the food.The researchers believe that it is because those who stop to take a photo pay more attention to the food's smell and aesthetics.

It turns out that just taking some time to savour your food, makes the experience a lot more enjoyable

Image via Dr. Laurence Dessart

"It's the delay of looking at your camera, being pleased with the aesthetics of it, smelling the food, and kind of having those visual and sometimes even audible cues of taking the picture that lead consumers to savour the experience as they anticipate the pleasure that they're about to experience more," Sean Coary, co-author of the study said.

However, the findings seem to only be true for unhealthy food

Image via Just a Taste

The researchers found that taking pictures of foods that are considered healthy, made no significant difference to how it tastes. It was only the indulgent and unhealthy foods that foodstagrammers reported feeling a difference in taste in.

The researchers theorise that it is due to the anticipation we feel before eating something indulgent

Image via Eat Guilt Free

Since we're a lot more likely to be excited about something that feels 'pleasurable' to eat, the process of taking a good picture further strengthens that sensation, resulting in a better overall experience of eating.

So the next time you head out for an indulgent meal, make sure your phone's fully charged! :)

It might be worth it.

Kelantan Government Concludes That Child Marriage Is A "Necessity" In The State

A roundtable consisting of the Kelantan state government, Kelantan Islamic Affairs Department, and Kelantan Pertubuhan Lepasan Undang-Undang dan Hak Asasi Manusia (Luham) concluded yesterday, 28 November, that child marriage is consistent with the Syariah Law and therefore a "necessity" in the state

Utusan Online reported that the roundtable, which happened in Kota Bharu, was about evaluating child marriage. Child marriage was said to be in line with Section 8 of the Islamic Family Law (Kelantan) Enactment 2002, as written permission from the court is needed.

Members of the roundtable.
Image via Utusan Online

The roundtable also decided that there is no "need" to raise the minimum age of marriage in Kelantan from 16 to 18

This conclusion was made among seven other resolutions passed during the roundtable, though Utusan Online did not report what the others were."There are strict mechanisms governing child marriage in the law and standard operating procedures," said the resolution.

Image via Malaysiakini

Two United Nations (UN) conventions were rejected by the roundtable as well

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) were rejected at the meeting. "These two conventions are not suitable for implementation, particularly for Muslims in Kelantan," the resolution said.

Child marriage remains an epidemic in Malaysia. Here's why some still get away with it:

6 Malaysians Tell Us Their Most "Potong Stim" Internet Moments

1. The airline ticket hunt gone wrong

Lee, a 22-year-old working professional was attempting to purchase air tickets online during a promo period. "I made sure that I researched the dates and times correctly, I even practiced my clicking speed skills and memorised the airline's navigation menu so that I wouldn't waste precious time! When the promo started, I was in the zone. Everything was working like clockwork, a trip to Krabi was almost the same price as a bus ride back to Penang! I entered my payment details before my Internet failed on me! Instinctively I turned on my phone WiFi hotspot on and connected but it was crawling. When it finally reconnected, the price for that flight was gone."

Image via Elevenwarriors

2. The super fail online job interview

Jason was scheduled to have a Skype interview with a potential employer. "I was dressed up in a suit. Okay, maybe half a suit since they can't see my pants. I was prepared, early and everything was going great at first... until my Internet began to act up. Of course, it is understandable if there was some slight delay but my connection was really bad. My screen froze and most of the interview was spent on troubleshooting the problem. I managed to reconnect quickly on my phone but my thought process to answer the questions were hasty after the whole connectivity issue. I didn't get the job."

Image via Skype

3. The penalty kick that was never seen

Andrew is a 25-year-old PR student studying abroad. "I love to watch football and I really miss the comforts of Astro back home. There are no mamaks here to catch the game so I mostly rely on streaming football games from my laptop. I remembered clearly once where a penalty was given at the last minute of a pulsating game. Just as the player was about to take it, the stream froze, only to see the player celebrating later. I missed the goal!"

Delays are not funny.

4. The "I-spent-my-time-more-on-the-phone-than-watching-the-concert" moment

Samantha, 25, Entertainment writer at SAYS regrets her Ed Sheeran concert experience. "I was tasked to cover the Ed Sheeran concert and I was to upload video snippets onto our Twitter and Instagram. Unfortunately, thanks to wonders of Malaysian Internet, I spent most of my time trying to repost the video instead of being serenaded by Ed Sheeran."

Image via Reddit

5. The "client-wants-the-file-now" incident

Christine, 27, works in a digital ad agency in Kuala Lumpur. "Being in an ad agency means that you're "on call" 24/7. I was on the way home one day when I got an urgent email saying that the client needed a particular file to be sent over. Thankfully, it was during heavy traffic so I was able to whip out my laptop in my car, tether my phone's Internet and proceeded to send the file over. But the connection was really inconsistent and took awhile to upload. Just when it was almost sent, the line disconnected which caused my upload to fail. Thankfully, I had a kind colleague who was still at the office and she managed to send over the file in the nick of time. Phew!"

6. The crazy girlfriend on WhatsApp

"Okay this may seem exaggerated but I swear it's true" Tim, a 20-year-old business student told us. "There was one time where my ex-girlfriend was really mad at me for something I did or didn't do, I can't really remember. While doing some damage control over WhatsApp, my data acted up and my replies were really, really, slow. This made my ex-girlfriend really mad because she thought I was ignoring her with my WhatsApp status being "online". Looking back, I guess I had to 'thank' my provider for acting up so I could see the crazy side of this girl."

Masala Wheels Expands With 'Tech For Good' & Launches 3 Cloud Kitchens For B40 Individuals

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

Founded by a group of young professionals in 2015, Masala Wheels is a social enterprise that first started selling Indian delicacies in a small food truck

Image via Masala Wheels (Provided to SAYS)

Back then, the Masala Wheels food truck was a familiar sight for locals in areas like Brickfields and KLCC, serving up nasi briyani and curries in packets.Soon enough, the social enterprise expanded their business, opening a restaurant right in the heart of PJ Old Town.

Image via Masala Wheels (Provided to SAYS)

Now, Masala Wheels has become a familiar staple among Malaysians, known for their banana leaf rice as well as their plethora of mouth-watering curries and vegetable dishes. But, did you know that they do much more than just sell yummy food?

Since its inception, Masala Wheels has prioritised empowering the community, especially at-risk youths, through different life-changing initiatives

Image via Masala Wheels (Provided to SAYS)

Before opening their physical restaurant, Masala Wheels had already begun reaching out to youths. Their food truck not only enabled them to run their business in different locations, they were also able to search for youths in troubled areas to help them get back on track. In fact, according to Going Places, desperate parents and guardians who heard about their initiative sought help by sending their children to the food truck. Since then, the award-winning social enterprise has helped countless youths make their mark in society. From employing those in the marginalised communities, to helping B40 entrepreneurs set up their own startups, donating meals, and more, Masala Wheels is truly going out of their way to make a difference in the country.

Here's a look at some of the social enterprise's recent initiatives:

1. Masala Wheels kickstarted their Pay Forward initiative in March 2020, and is targeting to donate 51,000 meals by the end of this year

With help from the public and sponsors, Masala Wheels has been donating meals and provisions to those in need, such as the poor, frontliners, stranded university students, and welfare homes. On one occasion, the social enterprise even managed to cook, pack, and distribute 7,000 meals to the marginalised communities within 72 hours.

Image via Masala Wheels (Provided to SAYS)

Their initiative garnered lots of support from the public, to the extent that it even got the attention of the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU), an agency that manages the national system of poverty (eKasih) database from the Prime Minister's Department (JPM). Reaching out to the social enterprise, ICU collaborated with Masala Wheels to make an even bigger impact in the community, by identifying and helping underserved beneficiaries. In addition, Masala Wheels also provided feedback and ideas to the ICU on how to help improve livelihoods through meal deliveries and training programmes. To date, Masala Wheels has donated more than 31,000 meals.

2. As champion of micro-entrepreneurship, Masala Wheels continues to partner with corporations to train beneficiaries through sustainable and innovative programs

What's cool about Masala Wheels is that other than providing employment opportunities, especially to B40 individuals, the social enterprise also trains and teaches their employees. These individuals gain exposure to culinary skills and F&B management in three different sectors — food truck, restaurant, and catering services.

Image via Masala Wheels (Provided to SAYS)

In fact, the social enterprise also offers a culinary talent development programme for their workers and students. Two of their beneficiaries, Chef Haziq and Chef Naqli, who were discovered through the government's Penjana Kerjaya under the PERKESO programme, are now leading Masala Wheel's cloud kitchens.

As part of their startup exit strategy, Masala Wheels has also since transferred 100% of their Petaling Jaya restaurant's ownership to two beneficiaries — P. Thiviya and Harvinder Singh — who have been part of the social enterprise's outreach programme.

3. Together with BEYOND4 and the Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (MaGIC), Masala Wheels will also be setting up another three cloud kitchens for 15 beneficiaries with zero charge for a year

True to their goal of empowering individuals, Masala Wheels will be setting up an additional three cloud kitchens for 15 micro-entrepreneurs from the B40 communities. To help them grow their startups and become self-sufficient, the social enterprise will also be sponsoring all costs for a year. Known as the Tech For Good initiative, the social enterprise wants to help aspiring individuals who wish to venture into the F&B industry realise their dreams.

Image via Masala Wheels (Provided to SAYS)

Plus, the social enterprise is no stranger when it comes to providing micro-entrepreneurs some much-needed help. During the pandemic, the social enterprise launched their micro-entrepreneurship capacity building programme, a training workshop which ended up helping micro-entrepreneurs collectively generate RM100,000 in revenue in just three months.If you're interested to take part in their free micro-entrepreneurship capacity building programme or own a cloud kitchen to grow your startup, Masala Wheels is currently accepting applications from now until December 2021. You can submit your application here.
