Malaysian Shares How A Scammer Threatened For A Ransom Because They "Kidnapped" Her Child

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

A Malaysian woman is warning others of a recent incident where someone tried to con her over the phone by saying that he has her child in custody

Marlene Zahari, who's based in KL, said that she received a WhatsApp call from a man yelling at her in Bahasa Melayu (BM) at 2pm on Wednesday, 14 June.He claimed that he had her child and would kill him if she did not pay a ransom. "Marlene!! Dengar sini, sekarang ni anak kamu ada dengan saya!! Kamu boleh dengar kan?!" (Marlene, listen here. I have your child with me! Do you understand?) he yelled over the phone.According to Marlene, the scammer knew her name because of her WhatsApp profile, but did not provide any details like the gender or age of her child.

When she didn't respond to him, Marlene said that he continued to threaten her by claiming that his partner-in-crime would beat up her so-called child

"There were sounds of struggle and crying and screaming in the background," she added. She said that the sounds were unclear and she was not able to make out her child's voice. However, she believes that scammers may soon modify their modus operandi to make things more believable. Citing an example of how artificial intelligence (AI) is able to clone voices now, Marlene shared that "there is an ongoing court case in the US where a child's voice was cloned to extort money from her parents".

As he continued to scream threats at Marlene, she sent a text message to her eldest child

Fortunately, her son told her that he was still in school and had even seen his sister at lunch break.Marlene said that she kept quiet on the phone and the scammer eventually got tired and hung up.

"Please be aware, everyone," she said, adding that these scammers could be targeting women and playing on their emotions

Speaking to SAYS, Marlene detailed that her friend's sister had also received a similar call a few days prior. This time, the scammers apparently referred to the woman by her full name, which nobody calls her by. Marlene added that when she asked her friend's sister to check if her full name was written on her WhatsApp profile, she realised that it was, implying that the scammers were getting the information from there.Another friend of Marlene's also told her that a colleague received a similar call the day before she did and has since made a police report.

Not long ago, a couple received a call from a scammer who used an AI voiceover to pretend to be their grandson crying for help:

A bank manager realised the voice was fake before they got scammed.

New Straits Times reported that the incident is believed to have taken place at Bukit Sentosa, Hulu Selangor during the wee hours when the Uzbekistan woman took a cab to return home from an entertainment outlet in Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur.She was supposed to return to her condominium home nearby but instead, she was driven to Bukit Beruntung by the crooked cabbie. The taxi driver then stole her handbag, which contained RM100, and her cellphone before pushing her out of his taxi, The Sun Daily reported.According to Hulu Selangor police chief Superintendent R. Supramaniam, the victim was believed to be drunk, and she was found lying inside a drain at Jalan Jenjarum 1C, Bukit Beruntung about 9.30am.

Police revealed that the incident did not end after the cabbie pushed her out of the car, as he returned to the scene afterwards

The 23-year-old victim told the police that she tried to chase the taxi but the driver fled."The victim said she tried to run after the taxi, but failed as the driver had sped off," Supramaniam was quoting as saying by NST Online."Suddenly, the taxi returned to location and the driver shoved her into a drain," he added.

Thankfully, the members of the public were quick to offer help to the victim

It was reported that passers-by spotted her and called the police, who then rushed to the scene.  When the police arrived at the scene, they called for an ambulance that took her to the hospital. It was revealed that the victim sustained a broken spine as a result of being pushed into a drain by the taxi driver. This incident was the second case involving a rogue cabbie this week. According to the police, investigations are being carried out to determine if both cases involved the same perpetrator.

"Abg Minta Maaf" - Hanya 3 Kali Bertemu Isteri Selepas Nikah, Suami Pergi Untuk Selamanya

Pemergian orang yang dicintai sememangnya perit untuk ditelan. Apatah lagi jika insan itu merupakan seorang yang bakal membimbing kita di dunia dan di akhirat.

Seperti kisah seorang wanita yang dikenali sebagai Che Siti Ainsyah Che Mahmud yang berusia 21 tahun, telah kehilangan suami yang baru sahaja 3 kali bertemu selepas hari pernikahan mereka.Memang perit untuk ditelan, namun mungkin ada hikmah di sebalik kejadian yang menimpanya. Bukan itu sahaja, Ain juga menjelaskan bahawa suaminya itu kerap meminta maaf seminggu sebelum kejadian itu berlaku.Seolah-olah suaminya itu tahu bahawa jodoh mereka tidak panjang.

Menurut laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Harian Metro, suami Ain iaitu Mohd Zulfaiz meninggal dunia akibat terkena renjatan elektrik ketika melakukan kerja membaiki kotak fius elektrik di Teluk Kumbar, Pulau Pinang pada 21 September yang lalu.Selepas itu, arwah dikatakan telah terlantar di Hospital Pulau Pinang (HPP) kerana tubuhnya telah rentung 80 peratus selepas kejadian tersebut.

Ain tidak menyangka sikap suaminya yang sering memohon maaf itu adalah salah satu petanda bahawa jodoh mereka tidak berpanjangan

Ain juga telah menjelaskan bahawa perkahwinan mereka telah diatur oleh keluarga masing-masing dan mereka berdua hanya bertemu buat kali pertamanya pada majlis akad nikah di rumah keluarganya di Gua Musang, Kelantan pada tarikh 25 Ogos yang lalu.Tambah Ain lagi, “Selepas majlis, suami sempat tinggal bersama keluarga saya selama tiga hari di Kelantan sebelum pulang ke Kuala Lumpur kerana bekerja sebagai penjaga jentera elektrik. “Saya tidak mengikutnya kerana sedang membuat persiapan kenduri bagi pihak keluarga suami di Kedah pada 13 Oktober ini, namun hajat kami tidak kesampaian,” katanya.

Ain walau bagaimanapun reda dengan apa yang berlaku dan bersyukur dapat menjaga suaminya sepanjang dirawat di Hospital Pulau Pinang

Ain bersyukur kerana dia masih diberikan peluang untuk menjaga suaminya dan berada di samping arwah sehingga menghembuskan nafas yang terakhir.Menurutnya, kali kedua dia bertemu dengan arwah adalah di HPP dan ketika itu arwah sudah tidak sedarkan diri akibat kecederaan parah.“Ketika suami nazak semalam, saya sempat mengajarnya mengucap dua kalimah syahadah dan membantu menguruskan jenazahnya. Cuma saya terkilan tidak sempat melakukan tugas seorang isteri kepadanya sahaja,” tambah Ain yang sangat sebak dengan apa yang terjadi.Paling sedih, dia dan arwah suami baru sahaja bercinta dan mula untuk mengenali hati budi masing-masing melalui telefon selepas bernikah.

Ain juga turut memuat naik video pernikahannya dengan suami di laman Facebook miliknya:

Itulah wanita Siti Hajar….
Abg saat ini sy hanya dapat memegang abg berlapikkn kain2 putih...
Abg saat ini sy hanya dapat menutur bait2 syahadah أشهد أن لا إله إلا ألله
وأشهد أن محمدا رسول الله

Man Exploits Loophole In Food Delivery App's System To Order RM567,548 Worth Of Free Meals

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

A 25-year-old has been sentenced to 31 months in jail after he exploited a loophole in a food delivery platform's system, allowing him to order over RM567,548 worth of food without paying a single cent

According to TODAY Online, the accused, Ronny Lee Jia Jie, pled guilty to two charges of cheating and one charge of forgery yesterday, 19 January.The crime took place in 2020, when Lee was an administrative staff member at his father's ship repairing company, Hestia Marine.Without his father's knowledge, he registered a corporate account in Hestia Marine's name with a food delivery platform by listing himself as the representative of the company.The corporate account allowed for a 30-day credit term that ensured Lee would not need to pay immediately upon delivery of an order. The total sum of all his items would only be due at the end of each month.Between 20 January and April 5 2020, Lee ordered food amounting to a total of RM60,819. When the company pressed for payments, he would simply state that the payment cheques were not ready.

After the corporate account was blocked in July 2020,  Lee created another corporate account in the name of Mediacorp

Using this account, Lee ordered RM506,124 worth of food, surgical masks, and other items between 14 August and 3 November 2020.The food was for Lee's own consumption, whereas he resold the masks on e-commerce platforms for his own profit during the height of the pandemic.After his ruse was discovered, he was called upon to attend court on 5 December 2020. However, Lee managed to weasel his way out of attending his court hearings on three different occasions by forging letters from Singapore Media Academy where he was a student.He sent the State Courts letters stating he had examinations to sit for, and consequently would be unable to attend his hearings.The jig was up for Lee when court officers eventually verified with Singapore Media Academy that the letters were forged.

"It's A Red Flag" — Girlfriend Complains About Boyfriend Not Buying Her RM6,820 GUCCI Bag

Dealbreakers are not uncommon when it comes to relationships — but they are relative to what each person decides is important in a partner

One girlfriend recently shared an apparent red flag she deduced from her boyfriend of seven years, and is now wondering what she should do next.Lamenting her frustrations on the Singaporean confessions page NUSWhispers, the anonymous confessor begins by explaining how her boyfriend recently graduated from university and is currently earning SGD4,000 (approximately RM13,640). Describing their relationship, she continued by saying that throughout the years, she has never once requested for any gifts of big value, and that the most expensive thing he ever bought her was a ring and a bag estimated at around SGD700 (approximately RM2,400) for a previous anniversary.Things soon turned sour after she decided to ask him for a much pricier gift.

The confessor then mentioned that she recently came across a GUCCI bag priced at around SGD2,000 (approximately RM6,820), hinting to her boyfriend that she wanted it as a gift for their next anniversary

The boyfriend told the confessor that he couldn't afford to get the bag because he was saving for a nice proposal ring for her, which he claimed was very expensive. Nevertheless, the confessor stated that she still preferred the GUCCI bag."I proposed that he just get me the GUCCI bag, and that I am fine with a normal ring (less than SGD1,000 since the proposal is just for the sake of showing it to the elders, and I am not really keen on proposal rings either). Moreover, we will be wearing wedding bands after marriage, and the proposal ring will likely be kept inside a drawer for most of the time," she explained.Thinking she had struck a good deal with him, the confessor stated that her boyfriend proceeded to get angry at her, saying that he would not buy her the GUCCI bag as he wanted to save his money for other things. In explaining his feelings, the boyfriend stated that since it is his own money, he would decide what he wanted to spend on.

Desperate to get the bag, the confessor carried on by saying how she could leave her boyfriend for another guy who would be willing to get her such branded items

She continued to comment on the fact that her boyfriend has always been stingy with his money. Providing an example, she mentioned that they still split bills for dates, other than the occasional instance of him letting her pay a tad less.Posing a question to responders, the confessor asked whether this action would be considered a red flag in her boyfriend's character."I assume he lied and isn't even intending to spend on an expensive ring. Otherwise, he would be more than happy to take on my idea of getting the bag I like, and at the same time, save his money by spending less on the ring," she said before ending her confession.

Garnering a massive response online, many people chimed in under the comments section of the post to give their opinion on the confessor's story

Dishing out some brutal advice, some users told the confessor that she is not entitled to have her boyfriend purchase anything she wants."Just because you are his girlfriend does not mean he is your personal credit card. I bought my own branded bags without asking my boyfriend to buy them for me," wrote one user.Another user directly told the confessor that if she was the mother of her boyfriend, she'd tell him to dump her immediately."Don't ever plan how to spend someone else's money or think you have a right to his earnings. It's a huge turn-off," she penned.

Others even called the confessor a red flag for making such a steep request."I mean, the fact that you had the cheek to even negotiate after receiving a 'no' is beyond me," commented one user.

Some even suggested that she buy the GUCCI bag herself if it was what she so desperately wanted. "Your lover is not your banker. Don't equate love to rewards. Learn to stand on your own feet," added one user.

However, there were also a number of individuals who saw the  confessor's perspective

One user stated that they believe no party is wrong or right in this situation, as it is just a matter of compatibility and who is willing to compromise or accept the other.Another user stated that the vast majority of people who criticised the confessor were missing the point, saying that the difference in price for the ring her boyfriend said he was going to buy her in comparison to the bag is not as wide as one may think."SGD2,000 is the standard price for a decent diamond ring. If he claimed that he's going to buy a nice, expensive diamond ring, he would actually save some money by getting the GUCCI. Him getting angry over your request is totally BS," wrote the commenter.

Image via Facebook

Nonetheless, there were a portion of commenters who gave the confessor fruitful advice in telling her that since he's a recent graduate, she should not have asked for a bag priced at about half the salary he takes home, as he may be burdened with other commitments already."His money isn't your hard-earned money, that's too much! Be content and thankful with what you have," said one person.

"Oh My God – It Has Happened Again." MH370 Families Relive The Pain Of Loss

"Oh my God – it has happened again."

Image via dailymail.co.uk

American Sarah Bajc, whose partner Philip Wood was on MH370, told of the horror she felt learning another jet had vanished, a moment she said to herself.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"It is just like what happened nine months ago when I heard the news of MH370."

Image via news.com.au

Steven Wang's 57-year-old mother was on the flight which remains one of the biggest aviation mysteries ever.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"I can feel the desperation that the next-of-kin are suffering now. It is terrible. It is horrible."

A QZ8501 family member breaking down after receiving news that a body was found.

Wang emerged as one of the most vociferous campaigners for answers on how MH370 went missing on March 8, one hour into a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. An unofficial leader of hundreds of Chinese relatives who packed into often rowdy meetings with airline officials in the weeks after the disappearance, Wang was a sombre shadow of his former self after months of anguish.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"You just instantly start to shake because all that flood of emotion of what we went through on March 8 all comes back...You can't even control it. It's impossible. It is just a physical response."

Speaking from the Malaysian capital, Sarah Bajc likened her emotions on hearing about MH370 with the loss of both the AirAsia jet and MH17, another Malaysia Airlines fight that went down in strife-torn eastern Ukraine in July with 298 people on board. "Then you start thinking what those poor families are going through and you think 'Oh my God' – nobody has to go through that."

        themalaysianinsider.com

"The last few days have been a torment. It's brought everything back. We're just reliving what we've gone through...It's a horrible nightmare."

Danica Weeks, wife of Paul Weeks.

Danica Weeks, whose husband Paul Weeks was on MH370, said of the reliving the nightmare all over again.

        cnn.com

"I empathise with them because I’ve been there too...I want to tell them to take care of themselves."

Xu spoke to AFP from her Beijing home as she welcomed another MH370 relative Dai Shuqin, whose younger sister Dai Shulin was on the plane, along with three generations of her family.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"You just have to call on your close friends and family...You need to lean on them because they are basically the only way you get through this...Nine months, none of us are as strong as we used to be."

Yenny, the sister of Sugianto Lo who was onboard the Malaysia Airlines plane MH370, weeps on the couch as she watches a news update on the search of the wreckage of the jetliner at their family residence in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia.

"Now the victims' families can console themselves and give the victims a proper burial. The families can now have a closure and have a peace of mind which I am dying for."

Selamat Omar's son Mohamad Khairul Amri Selamat is still missing.

Selamat Omar, whose son Mohamad Khairul Amri Selamat was on MH370, said the news on AirAsia would provide some solace to victims' families."It looks like there could be no survivors after the QZ8501 crashed into the sea. I praise the Indonesian authorities and neighbouring countries for finding the plane in less than 50 hours after the plane vanished," he said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"I'm almost a little jealous in a way because, you know, at least they have this ability to put some closure to it."

Image via sbs.com.au

Few people would consider those with loved ones on AirAsia Flight QZ8501 lucky, but Sarah Bajc has a particular perspective. Her partner, Philip Woods, was on board Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared without a trace almost 10 months ago.

        cnn.com

"We're still in limbo. There's still no evidence as to what happened to the plane."

Malaysian Airlines plane MH370 disappeared on 8 March 2014 with 239 people onboard. Unlike QZ8501, the incident still remains a mystery even after nine months.

Sick Of Breathing In Polluted Air? Here's How You Can Improve The Air Quality At Home

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Blueair.

Polluted air is more widespread around us than you think

Image via NIKLAS LINIGER/Unsplash

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost 99% of the global population breathes air that exceeds WHO air quality limits, and this could potentially threaten the health of their lungs. In fact, nine out of ten people breathe in polluted air. :OAlthough you may not have much control over the air outdoors, there are a few things you can do to improve the air quality in your home, such as:- Using cooking vents to help filter out harmful contaminants from gas stoves- Avoiding using gasoline or diesel-powered equipment when gardening - Changing your aircond filter regularly - Keeping rugs and carpets clean so they don't trap dust particles in their fibres - Sprucing up your home with indoor plantsAnd that's not all!

Investing in a good air purifier can make all the difference in your air quality at home too

Image via Blueair (Provided to SAYS)

When we breathe in polluted air, we attract various pollutants into our lungs, engulfing it with contaminants that could possibly harm it. However, when you use an air filter the layers of dust and pollutants will stick to the filters instead, effectively removing pollutants in the air as we breathe, per the image above.

And if you're looking for a brand of air purifier that can deal with these air pollutants effectively, look no further than Blueair!

Image via Blueair (Provided to SAYS)

Since its establishment in 1995, Blueair has been coming up with air purifying solutions to help people breathe better and lead healthier lives

Image via Blueair Malaysia (Facebook)

Throughout the years, their air purifiers have been refined through technology. This is well reflected in their new products, the HealthProtect™ and DustMagnet™ air purifier series.One of the key standards for measuring an air purifier's efficacy is through Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR). The CADR indicates how effectively the air purifier is able to deliver clean air by filtering the contaminated air. The higher the CADR number of the air purifier, the faster the unit cleans the air for you. And Blueair's air purifiers boast one of the highest clean air delivery rates (CADR) based on testing done through the Association Of Home Appliance Manufacturers' (AHAM) Verified Certification Programme. Furthermore, Blueair's air purifiers are dubbed 'the world's number one standard' based on performance evaluations for CADR (Tobacco Smoke), ENERGY STAR rating, and safe ozone emissions in AHAM's Directory of Certified Portable Electric Room Air Cleaners as of July 2019.

Part of what sets the HealthProtect and DustMagnet apart is their implementation of dual filtration technology

Image via Blueair (Provided to SAYS)

The dual filtration method is initiated by combining traditional mechanical filtration with electrostatic charging of particles conducted in a four-step sequence, which are:1. The fan from the air purifier sucks in polluted air once turned on2. Airborne particles receive an electrostatic charge3. Charged particles stick to the filter4. A volume of clean air is blasted into the roomAccording to a 90-minute removal testing of particulate matter (PM) 2.5 and germs that was conducted in a small room, up to 99.97% of airborne particles, from viruses and bacteria to dust and pollen, were removed through this filtration method.

This filtration method is further enhanced through the HEPASilent Ultra Technology that delivers optimal performance with minimum noise

The HEPASilent Ultra Technology also gives out an array of benefits on both technical and consumer fronts.For example, it presents a less dense filter media which leads to lower air pressure through the filter and a higher airflow. As a result, consumers will hear lower noise levels coming from the air purifiers as well as less energy consumption.

Exclusive to the HealthProtect series are the SpiralAir and GermShield features

Image via Blueair (Provided to SAYS)

The SpiralAir outlets are uniquely engineered to deliver 360˚, omni-directional airflow quickly to circulate cleaner air to every corner of the room faster and more efficiently. On the other hand, GermShield is a feature that provides 24/7 protection against viruses and bacteria that turns on by default when it is set on standby mode, as reported by tests conducted by Blueair on different types of bacteria. It also proactively monitors your room, killing viruses and bacteria on the filters using lower air draft and plasma charging.

Alternatively, the DustMagnet air purifiers have a specific DustMagnet technology imbued in them

Image via Blueair (Provided to SAYS)

Blueair's patented DustMagnet technology attracts airborne and dust particles before they settle on floors and surfaces through a combination of a unique airflow and charged pre-filters. This conveniences home owners as it means that they can spend less time vacuuming and dusting their homes.Another great benefit of the DustMagnet series is its sleek design that showcases a top surface that can double as a side table, effortlessly blending into your home like an aesthetic piece of furniture.

You can also opt for a separate air quality monitor to determine the quality before and after using the air purifiers

An air quality monitor can detect and measure dangerous gases, chemicals, and particulates in your home. Although this is optional, using an air quality monitor can give you a better measure of how different your air quality is before and after use an air purifier. After operating Blueair's air purifiers, the readings of PM2.5 showed low figures, as depicted in the video below:

You can explore and learn more about Blueair's HealthProtect and DustMagnet air purifiers by going through their official website, Facebook, and Instagram page

What's more, you can even purchase these products from their distributor, Visionary Solutions' main website. Additionally, they also have an end-of-year promotion of up to 10% off for their HealthProtect and DustMagnet series!

Netizens Touched That The Homeless Are Being Well Taken Care Of In Quarantine Centres

Social media users have praised the Ministry of Federal Territories for taking good care of the residents at Sentul Perdana Community Centre in the past week

The community centre is one of the six multipurpose halls in Kuala Lumpur that have been turned into a temporary shelter for over 500 homeless people who were tracked down by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).They have been placed in these centres around the city to keep them safe from COVID-19 while the Movement Control Order (MCO) is in place.According to Malay Mail, they have also been tested for COVID-19, and no one has come back positive.Over the past few days, the Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa has shown that the authorities have taken further steps to ensure their safety and hygiene while they seek refuge in these centres.

Image via Twitter @AnnuarMusa

Annuar Musa wrote that the ministry has seen to the needs of the homeless, first by installing cubicles for the hundreds of residents

Before the orange fabric cubicles were installed, the residents of the shelter were seen lying on mattresses laid out on the floor in rows in the open space, one metre apart from each other.

According to Malay Mail, the newly installed cubicles now ensures that proper social distancing is observed and grants each of them some privacy."Alhamdulillah. My order to install the cubicles for the homeless is swiftly being done tonight. Praise to God. I will take care of blankets after this," Annuar Musa tweeted on Monday, 6 April.

The next day, to ensure proper hygiene was kept, each of the residents were given a haircut

"Today, the homeless will take turns getting their hair cut. They look more neat! Look at them before and after," tweeted Annuar Musa again on Tuesday, 7 April.

Lastly, it was arranged for all of the homeless to be given blankets, which the minister said was donated by his family

"Alhamdulillah, we have a supply of 550 blankets for the homeless, and we'll send them tomorrow. I hope they don't sleep without blankets as it might affect their health, especially those who are aged and unwell," said Annuar Musa.

And with help, they did deliver the blankets on Tuesday night."Now they can sleep more comfortably," the minister tweeted after distributing the blankets.

Netizens were full of gratitude towards the Ministry for their efforts

"Allah, I'm so touched to see this. Thank you Tan Sri and all the NGOs who were involved. Hope Allah repays all your kindness," said a Twitter user.

While another said, "Small matters but big significance. Congratulations Tan Sri and team."

Peristiwa kecil tapi maknanya besar. Tahniah TS dan Team.— HAMDAN RUKUN (@HamdanRukun) April 7, 2020

 "Those are microfibre blankets. Alhamdulillah, they are comfortable," said another observant netizen."I hope they get enough rest. And when the MCO ends, they have morale and new energy to possibly change their lives. Keeping them in prayer. The importance of assistance, thank you to those concerned, they too are citizens."

Selimut 'microfibre' tu, Alhamdullilah selesa tu.

Tajuddin Fined RM1,500 For Not Wearing Face Mask At LRT Crash Press Conference

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

Pasir Salak member of Parliament (MP) Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman will be issued a RM1,500 compound notice for failing to wear a face mask during his press conference on the LRT collision

Dang Wangi police chief ACP Mohamad Zainal Abdullah told Malay Mail that the fine amount was decided by the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) after the investigation paper was returned to the police yesterday.He said, "It was decided that Tajuddin should be fined RM1,500 for committing an offence under Regulation 17 (1) Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures in Local Areas of Infection) Regulations 2021 for his failure to wear a face mask during a press conference as stipulated under the Movement Control Order (MCO) standard operating procedure (SOP)."

"The fine will be issued at the earliest," he added.

Image via Info Roadblock JPJ/POLIS (Facebook)

The offence took place on Monday, 24 May, at the KLCC LRT station where he was photographed speaking to the press without wearing a face mask under his face shield

According to the existing MCO SOP issued by the National Security Council (MKN), it is mandatory to wear a face mask beneath a face shield.

Previously, the former Prasarana Malaysia Bhd chairman explained that his decision to wear only a face shield was so it would be easier for the press to hear him.

He was quoted by FMT saying, "I was told the face shield was good enough. I am sorry if the face shield was not good enough. The shield is not an ordinary shield, (it was) specially ordered from a reliable source."

"But how do you talk during a press conference with a face mask? So, I thought a (transparent) shield would be better," he added.

Image via S Mahfuz/Benar News

Tajuddin was questioned by police on 27 May

The Star reported that he spent about an hour giving a statement to the police before he was seen leaving the police headquarters at around 5.45pm.

Lelaki Ini Berhenti Kerja Dengan Gaji RM4,000 Untuk Jadi Petani Timun Sepenuh Masa

Dalam hidup ini tiada apa yang mustahil. Apa yang ingin kita cuba adalah terletak atas diri kita sendiri sama ada kita berani atau tidak.

Seperti laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Bernama, seorang lelaki yang dikenali sebagai Mohamad Amir Hasridz Bakar sanggup berhenti kerja tetap dengan gaji bulanan sebanyak RM4,000 sebulan sebagai pengurus di sebuah syarikat telekomunikasi sejak 6 tahun yang lalu untuk berkeringat sebagai pengusaha di ladang timun.

Image via Bernama

Walaubagaimanapun, Amir dikatakan tidak pernah menyesal dengan keputusannya untuk menggantikan pakaian formal dengan kasut peladang

Image via Sinar Harian

Menurut Amir lagi, “Arwah ayah saya adalah seorang petani yang terkenal di kawasan ini ketika beliau masih muda dan inilah yang mendorong saya mengikuti jejaknya,” katanya.

Dengan simpanan wang yang beliau ada sehingga kini, beliau berjaya menjalankan ladang berskala kecil dan penyaduran cili menggunakan sistem fertigasi berhampiran rumahnya

Image via Amir Hasridz / Facebook

Tanaman itu telah berjaya dan telah memberikan keberanian untuk beliau menyewa sebidang tanah lagi yang meliputi 0.7 hektar di Kampung Berhala Gantang dari Lembaga Kemajuan Pekebun Kecil Perusahaan Getah (Risda) untuk menanam timun dengan menggunakan sistem fertigasi."Dalam beberapa tahun, saya dapat memperluaskan lagi ladang saya dan sekarang terdapat 10,000 polikulum tumbuhan timun di empat tapak pertanian."Saya boleh menuai kira-kira satu metrik tan timun setiap hari dan alhamdulillah dengan hasil kerja keras, saya dapat memperoleh lebih banyak daripada apa yang saya peroleh sebelum ini dan saya juga mampu untuk mengambil pekerja," kata Amir.

Isterinya iaitu Nordini Hashim kini membantu Amir dalam menguruskan ladang-ladang dengan tiga orang pekerja tetap dan dua orang pekerja separuh masa

Image via Bernama

Amir sebagai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Bakar Fresh Farm kini telah merancang untuk membuka tujuh lagi ladang timun dengan menggunakan kaedah fertigasi.Beliau juga menerima geran sebanyak RM40,000 dari kerajaan dan mendapat manfaat daripada pelbagai kursus latihan yang dianjurkan di bawah program agropreneur.Amir berkata, "Saya berharap untuk mempunyai ladang yang lebih besar, sehingga 10 hektar, dan berharap kerajaan dapat membantu menyediakan tapak tersebut."

Apa pun, kami dari Team Seismik mengucapkan selamat maju jaya kepada Amir! Memang salute habis dekat brother ni! :)

“Cikgu Pegang Dada Dan Alat Sulit” - Viral Kisah Gangguan Seksual Di Sekolah Di Ampang

Gangguan seksual boleh berlaku di mana-mana sahaja sama ada di rumah, kawasan awam, tempat kerja bahkan sekolah juga

Image via Antarapos

Apabila gangguan seksual berlaku di sekolah, risiko yang boleh berlaku adalah mangsanya boleh terjadi dalam kalangan kanak-kanak sekolah rendah atau remaja sekolah menengah dan pelakunya boleh jadi dalam kalangan guru mereka sendiri.Mereka ini pastinya belum cukup dewasa untuk membuat pertimbangan bagi mengelakkan tragedi yang tidak diingini ini berlaku.

Sekolah yang sepatutnya merupakan satu tempat yang selamat untuk belajar, boleh menjadi pengalaman traumatik buat pelajar. Makin teruk sekiranya sekolah itu sendiri memilih untuk melindungi pelaku gangguan seksual terbabit.

Three days ago, a coffee shop owner had found a severed head with both its ears missing outside his shop in Bukit Mertajam, about 20km away. Now police are investigating whether the body and the head were those of the same person, said Gunarajan.

[VIDEO] Hishammuddin Talks To CCTV About MH370 Hijacking, Angry Chinese Families And More

China has been increasingly unhappy with Malaysia's management of MH370 investigations as acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein leads the search and rescue operation with no conclusive answer

                What Analysts And Experts Have To Say About Malaysia's Management Of The MH370 Crisis

The Malaysian government's lack of information and stonewalling of media in the missing MAS flight MH370 investigatio...

Read the full story

Amidst confirmation of foul play, Hishammuddin sat down with China Central Television (CCTV) to talk about the government's management of the situation

THE Malaysian Government's handling of the investigation questioned, and CCTV America’s James Chau sat down with Malaysian Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein to find out more.

        thestar.com.my

Hishammuddin Hussein

CCTV's James Chau started the interview by asking Hishammuddin why Najib refrained from using the word "hijacking" in the press conference when it was confirmed that someone had deliberately taken control of the
plane

Image via ibtimes.com

Hishamuddin: The difference is that we have moved on to another phase, where clearly from corroborated facts, somebody actually turned off some of the equipment. That is new and that is something that we have always been consistent about - being transparent, coming out with things which already been corroborated - and basically now we need to establish what actually happened. And there are many possibilities. Whether it is a hijacking, whether it is intentional, whether it’s under duress, whether it is some psychological reasons, who did it.

        cntv.cn

Nontheless, the
government is still open to the possibility of hijacking onboard MH370

Chau: But that is still open.
Hishammuddin: That’s still open to us, yes.

        cntv.cn

James Chau, "Who is this person (who has the technical skill to make the aircraft mute to the outside world)?"

CCTV's James Chau
Image via imgur.com

Hishamuddin: I would like to know too. And basically we won’t know until we get all the facts, and it would be irresponsible for us to name any names. There has to be a lot of speculation out there, and I think if to be fair to the investigation, anything revealed now which has not been corroborated, will affect the investigation and needs to be fair to the families or the passengers."

        cntv.cn

Chau: But I think it’s those families who do want to know.
Hishammuddin: Of course, but they do not want to know facts which may later on be found out to be untrue.

        cntv.cn

Hishammuddin stressed that besides the pilot and the crew, anyone on the plane could be a candidate too

Captain Zaharie
Image via googleusercontent.com

Chau: You’re going to go right back to the passenger manifest. Let’s talk about the crew manifest, because if it would require such extensive knowledge of aviations and also the skill to pilot a plane, of course it’s no surprise that the two most obvious candidates are your captain and the first officer.

        cntv.cn

Hishammuddin: But it doesn’t mean that anybody else could not be a candidate too. And like I said from the beginning, the whole manifest on all the passengers on that list, those who we are screening from day one.
But the Prime Minister indicated today that because of circumstances and corroborated facts, we are now intensifying our investigation on the personalities involved and that is clearly been indicated to our police especially. And I think we should allow some space for them to do the necessary fact-finding.

        cntv.cn

Besides the pilot, other names on the passenger and crew manifest are also
being investigated, Hishammuddin implied

Chau: I want to quickly lead you back to the crew. MAS had gone through their profiles, and insisted 24 hours ago that nothing stood out in those profiles nor from their years of records there. You say that you don’t want to speculate, but at the same time, as we speak, the police are now searching the home of the pilot. What’s changed?
Hishammuddin: Doesn’t mean that we have not also investigated the others.

        cntv.cn

When asked if there is anyone who potentially stands out, Hishammuddin refused to give a name. He continues to remind the public that his team has been consistent with releasing information that has been corroborated.

Hishammuddin Hussein
Image via imgur.com

Chau: In terms of that passenger manifest, and we have to go back to that again, in light of the new developments, is there anybody who potentially stands out?

        cntv.cn

Hishammuddin: Well I think it’s not for me to say right now. And I’ve always been consistent from the beginning, to be fair to everybody. Notwithstanding all the speculation that has been out there that we’ve only come out and verified things that have been corroborated. Even today’s statement by the Prime Minister it’s been corroborated by international agencies. And when we are quite clear on that position, then we come out with it.
Speculation at the beginning, seven days ago, the fact that the plane landed in Nanning.

        thestar.com.my

Hishammuddin then explains his sincerity in getting to the bottom of the investigation

Search and rescue operations
Image via telegraph.co.uk

I’m just reminding everybody the sort of things that were thrown out there. And we investigated, to be fair to the families out there, and this is where I’m reaching out to the passengers. Who I wanted to meet actually, I wanted to go to Beijing yesterday.
But with this opportunity I actually have the chance to actually convey how sincere we are in wanting to get to the bottom of this. But also be responsible in our approach so that we don’t give them false hope, we don’t lead into another investigation that comes out with a negative response. Worst still, false information.

        cntv.cn

Hishammuddin says he understands that the families in China are angry as he has a family himself

Anguish families in China
Image via themalaymailonline.com

I don’t blame them. I have children. I have a wife. I have brothers and sisters. And putting myself in that position, I can imagine how difficult it is for them. But I also have to be responsible. I am the minister responsible to investigate this, and I know the world is watching.

        cntv.cn

He emphasised that beneath pressures and speculations, the government has followed up with all the leads that they had, but they have all returned negative

Hishammuddin at a MH370 press conference
Image via telegraph.co.uk

And I think that it is very important for me, to state at the beginning, which I did, and be consistent in my stand, notwithstanding the pressures and speculation that goes out there. So that the credibility of information that comes out from the Malaysian government is something that they can believe. With time, I think the emotions will heal somewhat. But until and unless we find the plane and get to the black box, the rest still remains speculation. Unless we find out more evidence to give to the families.
And that I think must come out and must be consistent, being a responsible government. Now, even more so now, because there are so many other governments involved in this massive, unprecedented operation.

        thestar.com.my

And I think this is something that people don’t want to recognise, especially some of the media out there who just would like to have the headlines for the day and then move on the next. Because all the leads that were brought up to us earlier, we have followed it up and in all cases have been negative.

        cntv.cn

For now, he wants to assure the families that they will not give up looking for MH370, "and that I think we should not be distracted by other issues"

But yet, we will not, and I want to assure the families especially, we will not give up. We will continue to look for that plane. That is our sole, main focus at the moment. Because notwithstanding whether it is terrorism, whether it’s hijacking, whether it’s psychological, whatever the issues are out there, my main focus as the minister in charge is to find the plane. To get to the black box. To get to the facts of the matter. And that I think we should not be distracted by other issues.

These Are The 9 Other Finalists For The 'Visit Malaysia 2020' Logo Competition

See Stunning Photos Of The Rare Super Blue Blood Moon Sighting From All Over The World

For the first time in 35 years, a blue moon synced up with a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse. NASA called it a lunar trifecta: the first "Super Blue Blood Moon" since 1982.

Though each of the phenomenon occurs with some frequency on its own, the combination of all three on one day is unusual. That combination won't happen again until 2037.

Why is it called a #SuperBlueBloodMoon?Supermoon – When the Moon is at or near its closest point to EarthBlue Moon – The second full moon in a monthBlood Moon – The red tint Earth’s shadow casts on the Moon during a lunar eclipseWatch it live: https://t.co/OduDuvJhUP pic.twitter.com/lezmdEVHHv— NASA (@NASA) January 31, 2018

The Rain In Klang Valley Made A Lot Of People Angry Today...

This morning saw a heavy downpour of rain, which served as a welcome change from the blazing hot weather Malaysians have been facing for the past month

However, some of us weren't all cheerful about it when heading to work...

Office workers checked in to work late on Tuesday morning after being caught in an unusual traffic jam.Roads around the city were clogged up with cars causing motorists to spend from half an hour to an hour more than normal days.

        thestar.com.my

As usual, Malaysians took it to the social media channels to express their frustrations about this morning's haywire traffic:

One thought that the rain was making everyone drive at "turtle speed"

'Heavy rain' and 'jam' is like a pair of conjoined twins that cannot be separated

Okay, the only thing that could make this situation worse, would be getting into an accident in the midst of all this mess

Maybe it rained because of this...

Anyway, we hope all of you have reached your respective destinations safely!

We're certainly relieved that the rain helped to cool down the weather a little since it has been really hot recently:

I/O 2014: The Biggest Announcements To Know From Google's Keynote

Google revealed its 'L Developer Preview', an early glimpse at the next version of Android

Image via tnwcdn.com

Android's been a bit overdue for its next major overhaul. The last time Google's mobile OS got a major face lift was in the Fall of 2011. Now, Google has taken the wraps off of the so-called L release (presumably a dessert themed name will come later), which will launch later this year.

        thenextweb.com

For the first time, Google will allow developers to download a preview of the new version of Android to their Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 devices. This new OS will bring in the new Material Design UI (which we'll get to in a bit), as well as bring a bunch of new features.

        forbes.com

Image via tnwcdn.com

One of the more prominent changes is to the notification system. Now, you'll be able to access your collection of notifications directly from the lock screen. Just like before, you can expand the notifications and take action directly from the lock screen. You can also swipe up to unlock the phone. Google also added the new Heads-Up notifications that can appear over full-screened apps and be dismissed with a swipe without opening up the shade.

        lifehacker.com

Image via kinja-img.com

The L release will also improve performance by making the ART engine the default, introducing a new Battery Saver mode, and providing developers with detailed statistics on what's draining your battery. The multitasking interface is also getting an overhaul with a new card-based design, as well as the ability to treat Chrome tabs the same way it treats apps, making it easier to switch between tasks.

        thenextweb.com

Google's getting an impressive makeover across platforms

×

Google is about to give all of its products a new change of clothes, starting with the L release of Android. The design is an evolution of the flat, card-oriented interface we're used to, but adds depth and animation to every UI element. Google wants to treat each individual piece of the design like it's a virtual object that exists in 3D space.

        gizmodo.com

Despite being flat and digital, they have behaviors, layers, and react when touched. It's a neat idea and looks pretty fantastic. Expect to see this design theory expand over all of Google's products on Android, Chrome OS, and the web.

With Android TV, Google takes third shot at television

Image via mshcdn.com

Google's latest push to dominate the living room involves a new set-top box initiative, dubbed Android TV. With Android TV, smartphones, tablets, and even smartwatches can replace the humble remote control, and the entire platform is designed to give you a fresh Android experience on the biggest screen in your house.

        cnet.com

You can use voice queries to search for content, or ask it general questions like you would with your phone. Google demonstrates by asking "Who played Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games?" The TV responds with the same info cards you'd expect from regular Search. Android TV also comes with the some of the usual apps you'd expect from TV interfaces: Netflix, Plex, iHeartRadio. Hulu and Amazon are conspicuously absent (as they usually are when these things first come out). However, Android TV also supports Google Cast, so you can use the existing app ecosystem to stream to your TV, in the absence of native apps.

        lifehacker.com

Android TV also includes support for gaming. Developers can tailor their games for the TV, and even use phones and tablets as controllers for their games. Android TV is available for manufacturers to build into their televisions, as well as standalone set-top boxes, so you don't need to buy a whole new TV to use it. Android TV will be available later this year.

Google Docs can now edit Microsoft Office files

Image via kinja-img.com

In what might be one of the most useful moves to the productivity-minded people, Google Docs can now edit Microsoft Office files natively. Upload your .docx files to Google Drive and you can edit them directly on the web or the Android and iOS apps. You won't have access to all of the feature (like collaborative editing), but you can do many tasks without having to convert to Google's proprietary format and back.

        lifehacker.com

Chrome OS will run Android apps, integrate with your phone

Image via kinja-img.com

Google wants to bring native Android apps to Chrome OS. The company showed off native Android apps running inside of a Chromebook, including Evernote, Vine, and Flipboard. The ultimate goal is for Android apps to run alongside Chrome web apps on your laptops.

        thenextweb.com

The integration doesn't end there. Google says that it will mirror notifications between your Android phone and Chrome OS, including phone calls and text messages. You can also unlock your Chromebook with your phone. When your phone and Chromebook are near each other, your Chromebook will automatically sign in to your account.

        cnet.com

Google to keep track of your vitals with Google Fit

Image via kinja-img.com

Health and fitness is one of the biggest trends in tech and Google wants a space on the bandwagon. The new Google Fit platform will allow developers to track fitness data, sync it across devices, and store it in a central place. Nike, Adidas, Withings, RunKeeper, and Basis have all confirmed they'll begin using the service to track and analyze user data.

Android Auto controls your phone from your car's dashboard

×

Google has finally brought Android to the car with Android Auto, the company's connected-car platform not unlike Apple's CarPlay.

        mashable.com

The system is completely voice-enabled and allows you to cast navigation, communication and music apps from your phone to your car's dashboard. Voice commands, enabled by Google Now, allow you to send and receive text messages, get directions and make phone calls with only voice commands.

        cnet.com

Image via mshcdn.com

The company already has more than 40 partners for the system via its Open Automotive Alliance, launched earlier this year. Android Auto's launch will coincide with the rollout of Android L later this year, but developers will soon be able to start building their own apps for the car with the Android Auto SDK, which will be "published soon."

Android Wear, the LG G watch and Samsung Gear Live

Image via tnwcdn.com

Today Google gave its first deep look at how Android Wear devices will actually work. In short, Android Wear is all about glanceable information, and about what Google Now can help you with at any given moment.

        forbes.com

For example, swiping up and down lets you navigate through Google Now cards like recent messages, reminders, notes, music controls, alarms, your heart rate, and a step counter. By tapping once on a sleeping Android Wear device, you can turn on voice controls to say something like "Okay Google, call me a car" (with the Lyft app).

        theverge.com

You can swipe horizontally to see more about any card, or swipe downward to turn on "do not disturb" mode so your phone and watch won’t ring while you’re at dinner or in a movie. Google and its partners have spent the past months showing off the smartwatch models that could run Android wear. Today, you can actually order two of them.

        mashable.com

Image via bestofmicro.com

The LG G is a large but modest-looking black square, a style we’ve already seen variations of from Samsung, Pebble, and others. But most of the buzz so far has been around the Moto 360, a large, round piece of glass and stainless steel that actually sort of looks like a traditional watch.

You’ll have to wait until summer to order the Moto 360, but LG’s model will be available for order this afternoon. You can also order the Samsung Gear Live, which looks like an Android Wear version of the existing Tizen-based Galaxy Gear line.

"Pakcik Beritahu Mak Dah Pergi" - Calon SPM Kehilangan Ibu Pada Hari Pertama Peperiksaan

Tidak dapat kami bayangkan perasaan seorang calon Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), Muhammad Noh Zakaria, 17, apabila kehilangan ibu tersayang pada hari pertama menduduki peperiksaan tersebut

Berita kejadian 12 tengahari menimpa ibunya, Maziah Alias, 50, itu diketahui Muhammad Noh, sejurus menduduki peperiksaan kertas dua Bahasa Melayu pada 4.30 petang di Sekolah Agama Menengah Nurul Iman (SAMNI), Kampung Bukit Cerakah, Meru, Klang, semalam.Ibunya yang merupakan Guru Besar Sekolah Agama Kota Damansara 5 itu, ditemui tidak sedarkan diri ketika berehat di bilik rawatan di sekolah itu selepas keletihan dan tidak bermaya.

Menurut Muhammad Noh, dia sangat terkejut dengan berita pemergian ibunya itu yang dimaklumkan oleh pengetuanya

"Patutlah saya tidak sedap hati selepas solat Zohor tadi selain berasa degupan jantung tiba-tiba kencang, namun hanya menganggap ia perasan gementar sebelum menjawab peperiksaan."Selepas habis menduduki peperiksaan itu, saya dipanggil ke bilik pengetua dan mula berdebar kerana melihat bapa saudara turut berada di situ dan meminta saya supaya bersabar," katanya seperti yang dilapor Harian Metro.

Dilaporkan lebih 300 ahli keluarga termasuk saudara mara dan kenalan hadir memberi penghormatan terakhir kepada arwah yang turut dikenali sebagai Ustazah Maziah

Allahyarham turut meninggalkan suami, Zakaria Kasiran, 56, bersama lima anak lain.Suami Allayarham berkata, arwah kebiasaannya akan mengucapkan 'bye-bye' ketika bersalaman sebelum pergi mengajar ke sekolah."Namun, pagi tadi dia ada meminta maaf kepada saya dan tidak menyangka ia petanda akan meninggalkan kami sekeluarga buat selamanya," katanya.Rakan Allahyarham yang juga guru sekolah sama, Intan Ibrahim, 31, memberitahu, dia pada awalnya mahu mengejutkan arwah, 10.30 pagi, namun tidak berbuat demikian kerana memberi ruang supaya berehat.

"Ada tetamu hadir untuk menemui Ustazah Maziah dan kami terkejut melihat dia sudah tidak sedarkan diri dan mempunyai kesan muntah di pipinya."Selain menghubungi ambulans bagi mendapatkan bantuan kecemasan, saya cuba melakukan bantuan pernafasan namun gagal dan dia disahkan meninggal dunia pada 12.15 tengahari," katanya.

Tambah Intan lagi, dia masih teringat pesanan Allahyarham kepada rakan sejawatan lain supaya menjaga sekolah itu dengan baik sebelum ini."Tidak sangka itu pesanan dan amanat terakhirnya kepada kami," katanya menyifatkan Allahyarham seorang yang berdedikasi dan amat disegani ramai termasuk muridnya.
