“Ibu, Ampunkan Dosa Auni” - Gadis Bergegas Jumpa Ibunya Pada Saat-Saat Terakhir

Hargailah yang tersayang selagi yang kita mampu, selagi kita masih bernafas di bumi yang sementara ini

Image via Baitul Jannah

Ajal dan maut itu rahsia Allah SWT yang tiada siapa tahu. Hari ini kita masih bersama tetapi mungkin esok lusa kita sudah tiada di dunia ini. Begitu juga dengan orang di sekeliling kita, mungkin hari ini kita menjalani kehidupan bersama-sama, gelak ketawa bersama, makan minum sama-sama, luang masa bersama, tetapi esok  mungkin terjadi suatu perkara yang kita sendiri tidak tahu penghujungnya. Kita harus ingat bahawa semua yang ada di dunia ini hanya pinjaman semata-mata, bila-bila masa sahaja Allah SWT akan ambil tanpa perlu permit kebenaran dari kita.

Begitu juga kehidupan anak dan ayah serta ibu. Selagi mana seorang anak itu mampu untuk menolong orang tuanya, memberikan bantuan, berilah semampu dan sedaya yang mungkin. Hargai orang tua kita, sebagaimana mereka membesarkan dan menjaga kita dari sebelum kita lahir sehinggalah kita sudah mencecah alam dewasa sekarang.

How Volkswagen Tricked Movie-Goers Into Using Their Phones For A Life-Saving Lesson

We know that texting while driving is bad. We know that texting in the cinema is bad. Volkswagen wanted to remind us of both, so they created a PSA.

Image via YouTube.com

It was an interactive PSA called "Eyes on the Road" created for a movie theater in Hong Kong. The ad begins with a first-person view of car on an empty road.

Image via YouTube.com

The theater then uses a location-based broadcaster to send texts to the moviegoers, while the driving footage continues to play on screen

Image via YouTube.com

While audience members are busy checking their phones, the vehicle on-screen crashes — jolting the crowd into realising their texting and driving mistake

Image via YouTube.com

It was pretty alarming

Image via YouTube.com

The ad ends with the following message: "Mobile use is now the leading cause of death behind the wheel"

Image via YouTube.com

WATCH: Eyes on the road

×

While it's a brilliant way to make people think about texting and driving, it also makes us think about the insidiousness in location-based communication. So, how did Volkswagen send a location SMS?

In Hong Kong there are different rules on sending messages to mobile users than in other countries, so it is important to follow FCC rules, CTIA guide lines and MMA best practices. Volkswagen used a location based broadcaster and sent messaging to patrons with bluetooth on, but sending a message to make a strong point as a public service announcement is going to be received differently than a spammy sales message, so you might want to think twice about investing in one.

        cnet.com

How does one send a location-based message without invading a mobile user's privacy?

The simple answer is, Ask. Location aware text messaging services such as Thumbvista’s requires a opt-in by the mobile user requesting the use of their location. This is a good thing, a study was recently conducted  by Urban Airship showed that 62% of those surveyed agreed to share their location for relevant messaging, meaning they want to hear from that product or service provider.

        thumbvista.com

With other varies forms of location based advertising all that is required is to used an application with location services on and agreeing to receive messaging. A bluetooth broadcaster most likely sent the message to the refined area in a close proximity such as a theatre and by using BLE or low energy bluetooth devices or wifi micro indoor location triggered messaging can occur via mobile web or application.

        thumbvista.com

Marketers can use applications and mobile GPS to trigger messaging in a general area a little larger or non-application geofencing can be used to send a message to an even larger general perimeter. The main takeaway from all of these methods is to get permission before you send a location based message to avoid the any privacy issues.

        thumbvista.com

Creative messaging is hugely effective when tied with relevance. Whether the use of timing or location provides more relevance depends on the strategy, but Volkswagen created a remarkable PSA that has went viral and hopefully does what it set out to do, not sell cars, but to inform mobile users on the dangers of texting while driving.

Under Armour Is Helping Millions Of Young Athletes Achieve Their Dreams. Here's How

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Under Armour.

Ever dreamed of becoming a pro athlete?

Image via @nba / GIPHY

Many of us grew up spending hours in the field or the court after schooling hours, dreaming of becoming the next Nicol David, Serena Williams, Lee Chong Wei, or Stephen Curry. Some of us were even good enough to represent our school, district or maybe even state at some point.

But the jump from being a recreational athlete to a pro athlete is a steep one. It's not easy to 'make it' in competitive sports, plus, not everyone has the resources to put themselves in a position to succeed.

Every year, millions of aspiring athletes have to ditch their dreams in exchange for getting by in life, because they don't have access to sporting equipment, the right coaches, and a training environment that would allow them to compete in the professional arena.

It's a shame to see all this talent go to waste, simply because of these limiting factors faced by many.

In an effort to get young people one step closer to their dreams, Under Armour has embarked on a journey to break down barriers and create opportunities for growth in competitive sports

Image via Under Armour (Provided to SAYS)

The well-known Baltimore-based sportswear brand is upping its game to offer more than just innovative and quality gear for sports enthusiasts at all levels, all over the world. From its breakthrough performance fabric UA Tech that keeps you comfy no matter how hard you hit your training sesh to running shoes that provide ample support, and more, Under Armour is equipping communities with everything they need to give it their all in sports.

Check out this short video about Under Armour's 'Gift of the Game' campaign, and how it exemplifies the brand's tagline, 'The Only Way is Through':

Whether it's in the US or here in Malaysia, Under Armour recognises that young people all over the world face barriers that negatively impact their journey to compete in sports

Image via Under Armour (Provided to SAYS)

Here are three areas the brand is focusing on to make sports more accessible:

1. PathwaysUnder Armour works with communities around the world to help build programmes and drive engagement in organised, structured, and competitive sports programming for young people. Globally, it has impacted 20 communities with UA Sports Zone, expanded the women's UA Next Programming, and continues to tackle the cost barrier of sport.2. PeopleBy bringing together coaches, organisations, and community stakeholders, the brand aims to help break down barriers to sports engagement and create a lasting change. This helps level the coaching landscape and support key community partners. In the US, the brand has launched a collegiate program for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs).3. PerformanceAthletes need the necessary tools to excel, which is why Under Armour continues to provide performance solutions, resources, and tools that athletes need to achieve their best. This includes helping women to keep evolving the way they train, compete, and recover. On top of that, the brand is also making running a more inclusive sport, as well as delivering footwear innovations across playing fields.

At the end of the day, Under Armour believes everyone deserves the right to engage in sport

As Under Armour CEO Patrik Frisk puts it, the opportunities that sports provide are endless and critical to society."From teaching kids to be good teammates and good leaders, to how to take accountability and work hard for their goals, having access to sport is fundamental to developing skills that will empower young athletes on and off the field, pitch or court," said Frisk.

Terror Attack at Kenyan Mall: Americans and British Were Among the Attackers Says Kenya FM

Kenya foreign minister says, "‘2 or 3’ Americans, ‘1 Brit,’ among mall attackers"

British fugitive Samantha Lewthwaite, whose husband blew himself up in London’s 2005 terrorist attack, may be responsible for Nairobi shopping center terror and may have been gunned down by authorities, according to reports. The mother-of-three also trained female jihadists in Somalia, reports say.
Image via nydailynews.com

Two or three Americans and one Briton were among those who attacked a Nairobi shopping mall, Kenya's foreign minister said Monday.

        go.com

The foreign minister, Amina Mohamed, said in an interview with PBS’ ”NewsHour” program that the Americans were 18 to 19 years old, of Somali or Arab origin and lived “in Minnesota and one other place” in the U.S.

        washingtonpost.com

The attacker from Britain was a woman who has “done this many times before,” Mohamed said.

Kenya hostages freed, troops have mall 'under control'

The Kenyan police are claiming via their Twitter feed that the standoff with the mall attackers is now over. An official communiqué will be issued shortly, they added. No further information was immediately available.

        firstpost.com

All hostages are believed to have been evacuated from a Nairobi shopping mall and Kenyan special forces are not encountering any resistance, a government spokesman told AFP late Monday.

Kenyan forces have launched a "major assault" to put an end to a two-day long siege mounted by attackers who threw grenades and opened fire on unsuspecting crowds at an upscale mall in Nairobi, Kenyan police said.

        630wpro.com

The army said it had managed to secure most of the upmarket, part Israeli-owned Westgate complex, and that most of the hostages had been rescued. It said it was trying to bring the 36-hour-long bloodbath to a "speedy conclusion".

        google.com

The attackers have so far refused any attempts at negotiation, but an al-Shabaab spokesman demanded that Kenya withdraw its troops from Somalia, where they have been fighting Islamist militants since 2011. "If Uhuru wants peace from us, he should withdraw his troops from Somalia,"

7 Simple Values Uncle David Upholds In His Life

David Christopher, or fondly known as 'Uncle David', is a 65-year-old toy peddler based in Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya and today, he is no longer a stranger to the Malaysian community

Image via Facebook

For the last few weeks, Malaysians have been rushing to the HSBC Bank at Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya to meet Uncle David and buy his toys after his predicament was widely highlighted on social media.  Earlier this week, a man reportedly ordered 250 Pokémon soft toys from Uncle David but bailed out on him after that. Following that, netizens began to spread the word and urged the public to lend their support to the elderly man so that he won't be burdened by the irresponsible act.

Image via Paula Isaiah Lopez Panganiban/SAYS

Malaysians from all walks of life quickly responded and people immediately began visiting his makeshift stall, buying the toys in bulk.In fact, the generosity and overwhelming support from Malaysians have seen Uncle David selling the 250 Pokémon soft toys with ease. He reportedly has reached a stage where he is selling about 1,000 soft toys a day for the last few days.

Uncle David has gone viral for several times over the past year, but the man who has battled cancer has remained humble through it all:
Here are seven life-lessons that we can learn from Uncle David:

1. Give back to the society when you can

Uncle David is known for selling his soft toys at only RM10 per toy, a much cheaper rate than other retailers or sellers who usually sell them at a range of RM20 to RM25 each. Instead of exploiting the ongoing craze, Uncle David stuck to this pricing, taking a profit of RM3 each so that his customers are able to purchase from him without burning a hole in their pockets.   He believes that this is a way to give back to society for fervently supporting him.  "This is an income for me but at the same time, this gives people the opportunity to buy them (the toys) cheap."Although he admits that the profit margin is much smaller, however, with enough volume, he is still able to make enough to survive.

2. Choose to be kind

Image via SAYS

Uncle David shared with SAYS that once a lady approached him with a good intention - she wanted to give him some money as a form of donation because she didn't want the toys but he stubbornly refused to take it. Instead, he encouraged the lady to buy the toys and donate them to an old folks home. She obliged to Uncle David's request.   When she returned one day, she gave Uncle David a hug, telling him how happy she felt because at the end of the day, she thought she was only helping out Uncle David but in fact, she made many more senior citizens happy with the toys she donated. The lady told Uncle David that an elderly man at the old folks home was clearly very happy to receive a cute plushie, treating it as a companion and even "talking" to it. It was a sight she couldn't forget. Uncle David's simple gesture of refusing to take the money for his own made at least thirty other people happier that day.

3. Don't be lazy

Uncle David has always been a hardworking toy peddler. He used to walk around in Klang Valley, from Subang to Sri Hartamas to Paramount Garden just to sell his toys. That was until he had to go undergo chemotherapy sessions to treat leukaemia and as a result, that took a toll on his body and he wasn't able to walk around so much anymore. Even then, Uncle David made no excuses when he could no longer drive and had to rely on public transportation. The hardworking man would take three trains and two buses to make his way from his house in Pandan Perdana, Cheras to Damansara Utama, where HSBC bank offered him a spot to set up his makeshift stall due to his health condition.

4. Always be grateful for what you have

Image via Choo Choo May/Malay Mail Online

Speaking to SAYS, Uncle David told us that the country's poor economy has badly affected some of his customers' financial wellbeing as some of them were retrenched."Some people don’t buy but they still come up to me and say, 'Uncle, how are you?'. That means they still care. Some also come up to me and say, 'Uncle, I'm sorry I cannot help you because I lost my job.' People are facing their own difficulties. We thank God we still got something to do," he said.

5. Think of your loved ones and never succumb to doing things that are not right, especially those that are illegal

Uncle David has revealed to us that someone had tried to tempt him with money after seeing that he was struggling with make end meets at one point of time. He had tried to persuade Uncle David to push drugs and firearms but as a man of principle, he did not give a second thought to it after he refused the man for the first time.  "Everybody must work hard, be honest and have moral. Whether you are selling things, a taxi driver, or a reporter, it's about honest living," Uncle David said.He also thought of his son, saying that it will be irresponsible of him to do such things because his son still needs him.

6. Persevere in all circumstances

Throughout the last 15 years as a toy peddler, Uncle David has faced a lot of ups and downs. There were seasons where he struggled to get by but still, he did not resort to any deceitful actions just to make quick money.Even when his Filipino wife ran away with all his money in 2001, leaving him to take care of their son all alone, Uncle David has done all that he could to give the best for his child.  They lived a simple life together, and today, Uncle David's hard work paid off as his son is studying engineering in the US under a scholarship.

7. Always keep an open mind

When we met Uncle David, he was very friendly and warm towards us. He told us that he had turned down a journalist who came looking for him for an interview once and he noticed that the journalist was fairly disappointed.  However, ever since then, Uncle David has been very accommodating and has promised that he will oblige to anyone who comes up to him for an interview. After all, he admitted that he used to be sceptical about the media, but he  realised that it has helped him tremendously in his business in the last year, especially the social media.

We wish you well, Uncle David! :)

The RM22,000 bribe solicited by the officer was meant to free them.

Sources said that the officer was acting alone and the bribery was not part of any smuggling syndicate

Source also said that this was not his first offence. Before his arrest, MACC officers questioned a foreign workers' agent in Cheras who revealed that there was an operation behind the bribery.The immigration officer would provide the agent with information of the China nationals detained in KLIA."The agent's job would then be to contact their family members in China to ask for a bribe to free those under custody," New Straits Times quoted sources as saying."The families in China would then contact their friends in Malaysia to help prepare the money and hand it over to the agent."MACC Selangor director Datuk Alias Salim has confirmed the arrest and the case is being investigated under Section 16 of the MACC Act 2009.

Wanita UMNO Leader Sues Najib For USD650 Million For The Love Of UMNO

High Court orders Najib to file defence against Anina's suit over RM2.6 bil "donation"

Image via The Malay Mail Online / AFP

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was ordered to submit his defence in a lawsuit filed by a sacked UMNO member to recover portions of a RM2.6 billion donation allegedly made to the ruling party by 1 October.

        themalaymailonline.com

Ms Anina's lawyer, Mr Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdullah, said the court also ordered Datuk Seri Najib, who is UMNO president, to file affidavits in response to two applications, one of which is to freeze his assets pending the outcome of the main suit for alleged breach of trust.This has to be done by Oct 6," Mr Mohamed Haniff told The Malaysian Insider yesterday, adding that Ms Anina can then respond by Oct 15.Lawyers for Mr Najib and party executive secretary Abdul Rauf Yusoh, who is also named in the main suit, later said they would file an application today to strike out the suit against them.

        straitstimes.com

Last week, the sacked UMNO member also filed a mareva injunction to freeze Najib's assets up to a value of US$650 million and asked the court to order Najib to fully declare his all his local and foreign assets either held by himself or others on trust

Haniff said the freezing of the assets under the Mareva injunction was made so that assets would not be removed elsewhere and also not to frustrate his client getting the remedy if she won the case.The Mareva injunction, also known as a freezing order, is applied so that a defendant to an action cannot disperse his assets from beyond the jurisdiction of a court so as to frustrate a judgment.Anina has also applied an order for Najib to divulge in an affidavit his movable and immovable assets in Malaysia and overseas within 10 days of a court order.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Anina also sought for the court to order — via a judgment without the need to go for trial — for the full details of the transactions involving the RM2.6 billion donation since it entered Najib’s account until the present.Haniff had said then that the two applications will enable Najib's assets to be secured and avoid any decision on the main lawsuit from becoming academic if the courts decide in Umno’ favour.

Separately, Anina has also filed a suit on 11 September to contest her expulsion from UMNO, naming UMNO’s secretary-general, Tengku Adnan Mansor, and its executive secretary, Abdul Rauf Yusoh, as first and second defendants respectively

Anina said she is seeking two reliefs in her latest suit. The first relief is for a declaration that the two letters issued by Tengku Adnan announcing her automatic expulsion to be invalid, void and have no effect on her UMNO membership. The second relief is for an order that her expulsion from UMNO is invalid and void.

“I hope my suit will mark the beginning of change in how UMNO is managed as a party for Malays and not a party for people in high positions of power,” she said in a press statement. “UMNO members deserve respect because they form the backbone of the party.”

"My spirits are at the highest possible, I will not move back even one step," she told The Malaysian Insider. Anina declined to comment when asked if she was upset over her sacking from Umno, and instead recited a poem about how it was the will of God that she was born a Malay and a Malaysian. "As long as Allah wills me to live, until then I will remain fighting for my beloved country," she said in her poem.Najib's disregard of her criticism, she added, prompted her to lodge a complaint with the Umno disciplinary board to summon him. "I believe he has committed breach of trust and gone against the party constitution by accepting and spending the RM2.6 billion," she was quoted as saying.

1 SEPT: UMNO expels Langkawi rep who filed a legal suit against Najib's RM2.6 billion donation

Image via Lim Huey Teng / Malaysiakini

UMNO executive secretary Abdul Rauf Yusoh confirmed with Malaysiakini that Anina Saadudin has been expelled effective today. He said this is because Anina took party matters to court, which under the UMNO constitution, is an offence that can warrant termination.

        malaysiakini.com

The dismissal letter which went viral on social media today stated that action was taken against her under Article 20.7 of the Umno Constitution for bringing the party to court.

28 AUG: Langkawi Wanita UMNO leader Anina Saadudin has filed an exorbitant RM2.7 billion lawsuit against PM Najib Razak despite his repeated claims that the RM2.6 billion deposited into his personal account came from political donations

Image via The Malaysian Insider

The plaintiff, represented by lawyer Hanif Khatri from the Messrs Hanif Khatri law firm, filed the suit at the Jalan Duta High Court earlier today.Section 14(d) of the Societies Act 1966 states that an organization registered under the Registrar of Societies must provide the accounts of the last financial year of the society along with a balance sheet detailing the financial position at the close of the last financial year of the society.

Anina is seeking an injunction against Najib and Abdul Rauf or their agents in all UMNO disciplinary boards, divisions, and state liaison body to be restrained from taking any legal action against her until the lawsuit is settled

The statement also said that complaints to the party's disciplinary board have fallen on deaf ears as the supreme council is 'unable' and 'unwilling' to act against Najib's power and influence over the party and authorities.

The plaintiff has named Najib and UMNO executive secretary Abdul Rauf Yusof as defendents in the lawsuit

The vocal member claimed that the legal action is for the benefit of and on behalf of the party and its members.The statement of claim said Najib had paid or removed from the party an original sum amounting to USD650 million (RM 2.7 billion), and this is in direct violation of the Umno constitution.The document also said that between March 21 and March 25, 2013, US$680,999,976.00 (RM2.6 billion) made its way into Najib's two private accounts in AmBank, through Falcon Private Bank in Singapore.

        malaysiakini.com

The USD650 million (RM 2.7 billion) stated in the lawsuit is allegedly the balance from the original amount of USD681 million that was deposited into Najib's personal account in a Singapore bank

The lawsuit has also demanded the detailed account of all forms of monetary donation received and monies in the AmPrivate Banking Account, No: 2112022009694, along with damages, costs and other reliefs, as reported by Malaysiakini today.  Najib had reiterated that the USD650 million (RM 2.7 billion) was just a party donation but according to the lawsuit, none of the accounts and details of that donation were noted in UMNO's audited accounts for the financial years 2013 and 2014.  All monies belonging to UMNO must be deposited in a commercial or a savings bank as per the Societies Act 1966.

Following the controversial lawsuit against Najib, Anina might find herself expelled from the party

UMNO lawyer, Wan Azmir Wan Hamzah claimed that the lawsuit filed by Anina was a personal action and does not represent the party's views.Wan also mentioned that they are waiting for the papers to be served as the details on the lawsuit were only from the media reports.

“Whether she was even acting on behalf of the division or branch will have to be ascertained," he said.

        therakyatpost.com

Wan warned that Anina will most likely be expelled from the party for the lawsuit she filed against Najib as according to him, actions like this nullified membership from the party.

Responding to the threat to be thrown out of UMNO, Anina claims that she is positive she is not alone in filing the lawsuit

When asked if she was afraid of her membership termination, Anina paused briefly before saying “No, I am not.”“As an Umno member, I am very disappointed with the on-goings within my party.“Therefore, I have no other choice but to bring the matter to court to seek justice,” she said.

        therakyatpost.com

"I am doing this because I love UMNO, and I believe all party members love UMNO", she added.

Anina first caught public attention after a video of her speech, harshly criticising Najib started circulating online

Image via Mohd Hanizam bin Yunus Facebook

In the video, Anina declared Najib had "lied" to Umno members by saying that they all supported him. "The president has lied about the 3 million Umno members. He said 3 million Umno members support him."Datuk Seri Shabery Cheek said I should have used better language in my speech. But I think the deputy president had already used very beautiful language. Even then, the president refused to listen. "How else was I supposed to speak? Please prepare the words for me yourself," she said when contacted by The Malaysian Insider.

        themalaysianinsider.com

In response to the video, the feisty UMNO member merely said that softer approaches will not work with Najib, as reported by The Malaysian Insider.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigated Najib for corruption and cleared him despite confirming the existence of the money and merely saying that the funds came from an unnamed Middle Eastern donor

In response, Najib stressed that he would never use party 'donations' for his personal use while still remaining tight-lipped about the sources of the money.

Earlier this month, PKR sued Najib for breaking the election laws by using more money than the law permits to spend on election campaigns

Nurul Izzah Anwar, PKR Vice-President

Nurul Izzah Anwar, one of PKR's vice-presidents' said the action was a follow-up to the Wall Street Journal’s article on the RM2.6 billion deposit in the Prime Minister’s bank accounts.She alleged that Barisan Nasional had engaged in “all kinds of corrupt practices” to win the 13th general election.

        freemalaysiatoday.com

Section 19 of the Election Offences Act states that a candidate for parliament cannot spend more than RM200,000 on his/her election campaign whereas a state assembly candidate's amount is limited to RM100,000.

Multiple prominent leaders, members of the political community, and the rakyat have been throwing questions at Najib over the RM2.6 billion scandal. More on that:

As a reminder, the legal drinking age in Malaysia is 21 years old. That means you need to be 21 and non-Muslim in order to buy and consume alcohol. Remember to always drink responsibly and in moderation. If you plan to drink, try carpooling with a friend who isn't drinking or catch a cab instead of driving. #CelebrateResponsibly


Is Apple Finally Ditching 16GB Storage In The New iPhone 7?

If you've been wanting to buy yourself an iPhone, good news! Apple is rumoured to be ditching one of the most complained about features of the iPhone - the 16GB storage.

Image via Giphy

Yeah, not kidding! According to an analyst at IHS Technology in China who claims to have links to Apple's supply chain, the new iPhone 7, expected to be released in September, will come with a minimum storage capacity of 32GB.

Image via 9To5Mac

IHS has a reasonable track record of accuracy when it comes to Apple rumors, correctly predicting last year that a 4 inch iPhone would debut in 2016 based on supply chain sources … which obviously transpired into reality as the iPhone SE.

        9to5mac.com

This is quite a big deal, considering how Apple has faced much criticism for the 16GB model. Users would often have to avoid spending on extra storage – and then find themselves without space to store their photos and music.

Could the iPhone 6 be the last iPhone with a 16GB variation?
Image via BGR

If you own a 16GB iPhone, you would know the struggle of avoiding new updates or having to delete photos and videos so that you can make space for other stuff. Especially as the latest iPhones feature 4K video recording, 16GB is a pitifully small amount.

The upcoming iPhone 7 is shaping up to be a significant update to the iPhone 6S. The rumour mill is saying that it will have a much thinner body and improved camera components.

Image via Tech Radar

Apple will also be dropping the headphone jack in favor of Bluetooth wireless or Lightning port connections for audio output.

As always, the iPhone 7 will most likely be announced around September. iOS 10, which will be released in June, may shed some light on the phone as well.

Image via 9To5Mac

Expectedly, Apple has not commented on these rumours.

Will the iPhone 7 be able to match up to the Motorola RAZR?

                OMG, Is Motorola Bringing Back The RAZR Flip Phone?!

Before the iPhone, there was the Motorola RAZR.

3 Men Were Caught Cycling From Ampang To Jelebu. Now They Each Have To Pay RM1,000 Fine

On the morning of Thursday, 21 May, three cyclists decided to indulge in some interstate cycling activity for undisclosed reasons.
Their decision soon landed them in trouble with police and Rela personnel amidst the ongoing conditional restrictions on movement.

The cyclists —  in sportswear and safety gears — were cycling from Ampang in Selangor to Jelebu in Negeri Sembilan. They were crossing state borders without travel permission from any authority.Aged between 30 and 40, the cyclists — all men — were detained at the entrance of Kampung Chennah at about 10am on Thursday, New Straits Times reported on Friday evening, 22 May.

When caught, they couldn't offer a reasonable explanation

According to Jelebu District Police Chief Deputy Superintendent Maslan Udin, when the police personnel patrolling the area enquired the trio, they failed to furnish a reasonable explanation.

Now they each have to pay RM1,000 fine

They have been charged under Section 25 Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988.The trio are required to pay their compound at the Jelebu district Health Centre by 3 June.However, if they fail to do so, police will take legal action against them.Meanwhile, Maslan reminded that interstate travel, without the permission of the police, is still not permitted amidst the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO). It also includes cycling.

Prior to this, Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob issued orders to ban all interstate travel amidst people trying to balik kampung:

Determined Baby Panda Refuses To Go Into Zoo Negara Enclosure After Trying To Escape

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

Although they are clumsy at times, pandas can be unexpectedly intelligent animals.
A lil' fellow in Zoo Negara recently proved that.

In a mission to escape, a baby panda was caught on camera attempting to climb out of its enclosure. Like a toddler trying to get out of its crib to avoid a nap, the panda can be seen slowly reaching the top of the barrier while using a rock wall feature as a stool to step up.

With sheer determination, the escape artist manages to reach the top, while precariously balancing its round, fluffy body on the barricade.

Much to the animal's dismay, a zookeeper spots its attempt to escape and gently nudges it back into its enclosure

Unwilling to give up, the panda clings on with its paws, forcing the staff to gently nudge each paw back down.

11 Other Places To Visit In India Besides The Taj Mahal

For some Malaysians, the Taj Mahal is probably the only thing that comes to mind when we think about India

Image via iStock

An Indian poet once described the Taj Mahal as "a teardrop on the face of eternity". It's also said to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, and it seems even more so after you learn about the love story between Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal. The monument was built as a tomb for the empress consort Mumtaz. It took the labourers 11 years to complete; using white marble from Rajasthan, jade from China, sapphire from Sri Lanka, and turquoise from Tibet.

Besides the Taj Mahal, there are many other interesting places in India worth visiting:

1. The ancient Adalaj stepwell in Gujarat

India is famous for its ancient stepwells. Stepwells are steps that descend into a pond or well, usually constructed to store water in case of drought. There are some stepwells built for aesthetic and memorial purposes, like the Adalaj stepwells.

According to legend, the Adalaj stepwell was first commissioned by the ruler of the state. Unfortunately, he was killed in war with a neighbouring country before it was completed. The conquering ruler sent a marriage proposal to the dead king's widow, who accepted it on one condition: that he allow her to finish the stepwell that her husband started. The conquering ruler agreed and labourers continued working on it. Once the stepwell was completed, the widow jumped into the well and drowned herself so she could be reunited with her husband.

Equally as famous as that is the Jaigarh Fort, said to be the strongest among all the forts, and was never conquered. For a scenic view, the Nahargarh Fort is a must-visit as it provides an amazing view of the Man Sagar lake nearby.

The rock garden was created by Nek Chand, a government official, back in 1957. What started as a secret project eventually became a popular tourist spot. Nek had to keep it a secret as the gorge where it was built was a forbidden area. After hiding it for 18 years, the local government found out about Nek's rock garden. The public was so supportive of his creation that the authorities granted him a salary and 50 labourers to continue his good work. Most of the items sculptures in the garden were made from waste material: bottles, tiles, broken pipes, etc.).

A tourist was left hanging 100m above ground for 35 minutes after a glass-bottomed bridge in Longjing, China shattered due to strong winds last Friday, 7 May

According to Chinese news portal Xinhuanet, the man was walking on the bridge — located at a resort in China's northeast province of Jilin — when it was damaged by a gale.Winds as strong as 150km per hour caused several pieces of deck glass to be blown away from the 100m high bridge.The incident was reported to have occurred at around 12.45pm and lasted until about 1.20pm.The tourist is said to have crawled to safety with the help of firefighters, police, and forestry and tourism personnel.After being rescued, he was rushed to a hospital to receive psychological counselling.The resort near the bridge has since been closed down and investigations into the incident are ongoing.

State officials said that photos showing the man gripping the metal sides of the bridge, surrounded by holes where the glass used to be, has been viewed more than 5.8 million times on Weibo

"This is exactly why I dare not step on a bridge like that," Xihuanet quoted a netizen as saying.Meanwhile, another netizen questioned, "How often did the bridge undergo maintenance?""So many glass deck bridges have been built in recent years and are very popular with tourists. But how can we ensure their safety?" added one person.

China has at least 60 glass-bottomed bridges built across the country as of 2016, noted the Geological Museum of China's publication, Earth Magazine

The bridges are commonly found in mountainous provinces like Jiangxi, Hunan, and Yunnan.Additionally, China is known for its record-breaking glass bridges, including a new 526m long structure in Qingyuan, Guandong that holds the Guinness World Record for longest glass-bottomed bridge, reported CNN.According to The Guardian, the most popular bridge in China is in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan province. The bridge is 430m long and is suspended 300m high across a canyon.However, local governments are preparing guidelines to limit construction of such bridges.They are also reviewing technical standards and recommendations on building such structures in earthquake zones.Parts of China have been affected by erratic weather recently.

Seremban Family Finds Weird Rubbery Residue At The Bottom Of Their Sunsweet Juice Bottle

In a Facebook post that has since gone viral, a man from Seremban shared that he found a foreign object at the bottom of his Sunsweet prune juice bottle

On Tuesday, 15 June, Joel Verghese shared how a month back, his family had bought a bottle of Sunsweet prune juice from a pharmacy.They had been gradually drinking it over the weekend. However, as his mother was finishing up the juice on 25 May, she noticed something weird at the bottom of the bottle.

Image via Joel Verghese (Facebook)

Thinking it was just bits of prune, she pulled it out only to realise that it was something else that looked weird and disgusting

It did not look anything like a prune or any kind of fruit. "It is hard to tell what is it exactly," Joel wrote. He also shared several images of the foreign object as well as a video of them inspecting it. It is apparent that the residue looked rubbery, and burnt on one side.The images also show that the Sunsweet prune juice had not expired yet and was still fairly new.Fortunately, Joel said his family did not fall sick after finishing up the whole bottle of prune juice.

Image via Joel Verghese (Facebook)

To clarify the issue, he reached out to Sunsweet Malaysia via Facebook on 25 May

He sent them the pictures explaining what had happened and said he wanted some clarification on what they had consumed and how the foreign object got into their drink.Sunsweet Malaysia got back to him on Thursday, 27 May, with a generic apology and requested for his contact details. However, they then kept mum.Joel sent them messages to follow-up on two occasions — once on 1 June and another on 7 June — but was left on 'seen'."Even after I told them I will take it public, they decided to keep things quiet after leaving me on 'seen'," he shared.

Upset by how irresponsible Sunsweet Malaysia was at handling the incident, Joel wrote on Facebook to get some advice from the public

"I gave them the benefit of the doubt when I reached out to them directly instead of taking things public but I think they've taken it for granted," he said.The public expressed their shock and offered some helpful advice such as hiring a lawyer and reporting the incident to relevant authorities under consumer rights.When questioned by SAYS on whether he is planning to follow through any of the advice, he said, "Considering them at the moment."

After nearly a month, Sunsweet Malaysia finally got back to him, on Thursday, 17 June

Joel told SAYS that they were sorry he found some mould in his drink and offered to give him a hamper, to which he declined and requested for a proper test to be done before they classify it as mould so quickly.In the screenshots provided, Sunsweet Malaysia responded that they know it is mould as they had encountered the same thing years ago. They promised to look into it again and offered further compensation of Sunsweet merchandise and a shopping voucher worth RM200.

Image via Joel Verghese (Submitted to SAYS)

After the whole incident, Joel advised people to not let companies get away with 'ghosting' their customers' complaints

"I think people should make a fuss with the faulty or bad food products they purchase," he said.SAYS reached out to Sunsweet Malaysia for their comment on this incident. They said that they are very concerned to hear of the negative experience that Joel went through."We would like to sincerely apologize for the negative experience that a consumer had with our product recently in Malaysia. Due to a technical oversight, we understand that our team was delayed in responding to a complaint by a consumer," they told SAYS.Sunsweet Malaysia also added that although the prune juice is pasteurised, if the prune juice is not refrigerated properly after opening and consumed within 7 to 14 days, mould can develop.They recommended that the consumer should keep the juice refrigerated after opening and consume it within one to two weeks after opening for best taste and best quality."We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused," they said.
