Jimmy Choo Releases RM58,000 Pink Boots To Celebrate Sailor Moon's 30th Anniversary

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

Happy Birthday Sailor Moon!
As one of the global pioneers to introduce many to the world of anime, it seems fitting that her 30th birthday be just as memorable as her presence.

Since its initial release in the form of a Japanese manga series back in 1991, Sailor Moon has been one of the most successful personifications of an anime series worldwide, receiving praise for its art, characterisation, and comedic humour. Selling out 35 million copies worldwide, the franchise has also generated a whopping USD13 billion (estimated RM58 billion) worldwide in merchandise.To commemorate the 30th Anniversary of this immensely successful television series, British fashion house, Jimmy Choo, has revealed a pair of limited-edition, fuchsia-coloured boots.

Covered in 19,000 Swarovski crystals, the knee-high boots also feature Sailor Moon's signature crescent moon at the top of the footwear

Taking inspiration from the titular character and the main protagonist of the series, the boots are meant to be an elevated version of Usagi Tsukino's signature battle costume when she transforms into her superhero counterpart, Sailor Moon.

Image via PR Times/Pinterest

The boots are said to have a 10-centimetre tall heel (which is approximately 3.9 inches high).They were first put on display on 1 July at the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Museum, which is located in the Roppongi district of Tokyo, Japan. While this was an exclusive exhibit, the boots are said to remain there until 30 December, so the public will have a chance to view this rare creation.

The boots will soon be released in limited quantities for purchase, costing an estimated USD13,196 per pair (roughly RM58,590)

In a comment with Japanese publication, PR Times, the creative director of Jimmy Choo, Sandra Choi, expressed her excitement for the collaboration, stating that the very concept of Sailor Moon that amalgamates fantasy and femininity, aligns itself perfectly with the vision of Jimmy Choo.The boots have been available for order since 1 July, and will continue to be open to purchase until 15 September this year. Shipping will properly begin in February 2023.As for those who probably won't be able to afford these boots, I guess it's time to pay a visit to the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Museum before the year ends!

Mother Of Autistic Boy Arrested On Birthday Narrates How She Had To Lie To Calm Him Down

A case of a 22-year-old man who was arrested last week for allegedly outraging the modesty of a woman in Subang Jaya would have been like any other case except that it's not. Because the man has the mental capacity of a 13-year-old and does not understand the consequences of his actions nor why he was arrested.

Subang Jaya district police chief Mohammad Azlin Sadari claims the arrest was conducted in accordance with the standard operating procedure (SOP).That they detained the 22-year-old man following a report made by the 24-year-old victim on Tuesday, 11 September, after she positively identified the man.That the ACP believes the actions taken in carrying out this investigation are based on the SOP and acting in accordance with the law is what, however, is the problem here.Because this case is not the standard 'Section 354 of the Penal Code' case, which deals with assault or use of criminal force to a person with intent to outrage modesty.The emphasis is on the word intent here because the 22-year-old is autistic.He does not understand the consequences of his actions nor why he is arrested.

In the above video, the autistic man, whose name is Ahmad Ziqri, is seen in shackles being led by cops to Petaling Jaya magistrate's court as his mother tries to calm his feelings by lying to him that he was in a Gerak Khas movie hoping the events would not scar him

Despite his mother's tries, Ziqri appears confused, not aware what's happening, what's with the frenzy of events that surround him or where is it that he is being taken away.Speaking about the situation later with The Star Online, the mother, Hasnah Abd Rahman, says she doesn't blame the police or the woman who filed the report.Being a woman, Hasnah says he understands how harrowing the experience could be (of being touched inappropriately) and considering the fact that her son looks like a normal guy it can be especially hard when one is not familiar with autism"I'm not blaming the police, and I don't blame the complainant either," she told The Star Online, adding that the police could have handled her son's situation better."If everybody was to sit down and listen to explanations, look at the medical report and then later judge for themselves, and [only then] make the necessary arrangements" then the outcome of the events wouldn't have been this unfortunate, she told the English daily, adding that people like her autistic son are children in adult bodies.

The mother said she is unaware if Malaysian police have a SOP for handling people with disabilities, but it's something the police must adopt so that these incidents can be handled more sensitively

"We need to address this delicately and the police need to have more interaction with such peculiarities so that they know how to handle (such situations)," she said."I don't mind if the police want a blood test or even a medical test done, our family can always bring him over," The Star Online quoted Hasnah as saying.The police had applied for a four-day remand for Ziqri. However, the remand order was denied by the Petaling Jaya magistrate's court on 12 September.For which the mother is thankful as detaining Ziqri for four days would have been detrimental to his mental health, she told the English daily today, 17 September.

While Ziqri was released on police bail on Wednesday and allowed to return home with his mother, he has not been his usual self

"I noticed that after he got home from Court, he did not want to change his clothes and eat," Hasnah said, adding her son is a slow learner and it usually takes him two years to develop the ability to realise that he is not allowed to do certain things.People from the Welfare Department will be making a visit to their home today, and Hasnah hopes that they can help in getting through to her son."It is good that they are coming because even I can't get through to him. I am not even sure if he knows what happened to him. I don't want him to be traumatised. There is no reaction from him, so I just don't know," she told the Star Online.

Meanwhile, National Autism Society of Malaysia (Nasom) chairman Feilina Muhammad Feisol has urged the government to review and adopt different policies when handling persons with disabilities

"I am not blaming anyone here, I believe the police were only following their standard procedure when dealing with an accused. "However, what is needed is a different procedure when authorities are handling a disabled person. There is none here. So, what we have seen is that the police cannot act on their own understanding because they have a procedure to follow," the Nasom chairman was quoted as saying by The Star Online on Sunday.According to Feilina, "an autistic boy, in a body of a man, sees somebody who is pretty and nice and might come up and touch her. This is wrong but he does not know it.""Sadly, he touched someone (which is wrong) and as far as the girl is concerned, she has been violated. I can't blame the girl either," she said, adding that some sort of protection must also be given to those who hold an OKU card.

The day the incident happened, Hasnah had posted on her Facebook profile, writing about the ordeal Ziqri was put through:

It was supposed to have been a lovely birthday celebration for my son with autism, Ahmad Ziqri.

As usual, when he goes...Posted by Hasnah Abd Rahman on Tuesday, 11 September 2018

A Malaysian Made This App To Help You Get Borrowed Money Back From Friends

Long time ago, your parents would have told you not to borrow money from your friends. Most importantly, never let your friends borrow from you.

Image via Giphy

Keyword: NEVER.

You see, lending money to your friend can be pretty tricky.
If you keep pestering your friend to pay you back, you might come off as a cheapskate. On the other hand, asking too late might risk your friend forgetting about the loan.

Image via Giphy

This is even an idiom to describe this predicament, “Lend your money and lose your friend”.

This is where FrenLoan comes in, an app that helps you certify a loan between you and your borrowers. It also helps to keep track of your loan and send reminders to borrowers.

Image via FrenLoan

Frenloan is a mobile app created to certify a loan to both lender and borrower. The app generates a digital pdf that has all the details of the friendly loan for both parties. It also certifies, tracks and sends reminders between friends, serving as a black-and-white loan cert between the two parties.

Founder David Sin created the app from his personal experience of lending and borrowing money

“Growing up, I have asked and been asked to either lend or borrow small loans from buddies. Some helped, some didn’t. This social borrowing affects almost all of us,” David said.“When the sum gets bigger we stop lending for the fear we won’t get our money back. Even today I keep hearing of stories of friends ending relationships because one party didn’t want to lend money. This sort of spark off an idea. If we can remove this barrier, people will be more willing to help out.”

        vulcanpost.com

To start using the app, you would need to create an account first

Image via FrenLoan

For your convenience, you could opt to sign up with your Facebook and Twitter profile.

Once you've signed in, all you need to do next is to enter your phone number, your friend’s email and the amount you’d like to borrow. The pay-back-by date is also a must-enter.

Image via FrenLoan

The dashboard is clean and minimal. There are also two tabs for you to keep track on the money you've lent out and borrowed.

Image via FrenLoan

FrenLoan doesn't limit you to borrow money in RM only, you could request to borrow in different currencies like USD, AUD and SGD.

Once your friend has approved your request, a Loan Certification in PDF format will be generated for both parties as proof

Image via Samantha Khor

An e-mail will be sent to your friend whom you're lending from for approval.

Image via FrenLoan

When the date arrives, the tracking feature will alert the borrower so that they will cough up the cash to pay back.

Currently free to use, FrenLoan is certainly a useful tool when lending or borrowing small amounts of money - but when it comes to larger amounts, it's better to meet up with your friend face-to-face with a physical agreement.

Check out FrenLoan here. Be sure to follow them on Facebook for more updates!

That Awkward Moment When UKIP And Nigel Farage Made Malaysians LOL...

If you haven't already, take a look at this photo of British politician Nigel Farage sitting underneath his party's promotional banner that reads 'I'M VOTING UKIP' — it seems harmless enough, right?

Image via theladbible

Well... not if you're a Malaysian and understand what the word UKIP, given the way its written in the banner, actually means here.The word UKIP, due to its presentation in the banner, has some unintentional but absolutely unfortunate (for Nigel and his party) and hilarious (for those who oppose Nigel and his party) consequences in Malaysia and in the Philippines.

The UKIP banner inadvertently reads as 'PUKI', which refers to a woman's private part in an absolutely offensive term in Malay (BM)

Image via The Independent

'PUKI' means vagina and c#nt in Filipino and Malay. On the other hand, Farage (which reads as Faraj) also means vagina. The banner then inadvertently reads as "I'm voting for a c#nt."

How did I miss this?  Yup Nigel is a proper #PUKI alright (and Faraj means vagina in Malay too, so it seems) https://t.co/rOr6zePpxP— Bob Hutton (@bobsyerunkle) July 3, 2016

No wonder @Nigel_Farage hates foreigners. Puki means c*nt and Faraj ( Farage) means vagina in #Malay lol pic.twitter.com/zcovYisN8c— Zainah Zain-Ismail (@KLCanolog) July 1, 2016

The "WannaCry" Ransomware Attack Has Spread To Malaysia. Here's All You Need To Know

On Friday, 12 May, England's National Health Service was hit by a ransomware known as "WannaCry"

#nhscyberattack pic.twitter.com/SovgQejl3X— gigi.h (@fendifille) May 12, 2017

The massive attack shut down work at 16 hospitals across the United Kingdom.According to The Guardian, the attack happened at roughly 12.30PM local time.The ransomware threatens hospitals that they will lose access to patient records and other files if they don't pay money to the hackers.

By evening, the ransomware had spread to the United States, South America, Europe, Russia, and Taiwan

Image via Telegraph

Car manufacturers like Nissan and Renault halted their production in several of their factories across the UK. Other organisations hit include the Swedish engineering firm Sandvik, the German train operator Deutsche Bahn, FedEx, the Russian Interior Ministry, and several global telecoms companies.

Most recently, Malaysia and Singapore have been added to the growing list of countries hit by the attack

A digital directory service at Tiong Bahru Plaza in Singapore was affected by the WannaCry virus over the weekend. A representative from the mall has confirmed to Channel NewsAsia that there was no sensitive information in the directories and that neither money nor bitcoins were paid to the hackers.A real-time map of the attack puts Malaysia and Singapore as the countries affected by WannaCry.

CyberSecurity Malaysia, an agency under the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry, has urged Internet users to be cautious with their machines

Dr. Amirudin Abdul Wahab.

"We urge system administrators to patch their systems as soon as possible and keep their users aware of the new ransomware in order to prevent them from opening suspicious e-mails and files," said chief executive officer Datuk Dr Amirudin Abdul Wahab as quoted by The Star.According to local IT security service provider, LGMS, at least 10 computers have been infected by the ransomware over the weekend.

How does WannaCry work?

Multiple computers being attacked by WannaCry in an office.
Image via The Hacker News

Ransomware is a kind of cyber attack that involves hackers taking control of a computer system and blocking access to it until a ransom is paid.The virus gets into a computer when a user clicks or downloads malicious files.The user then gets a random demand which must be paid for access to be restored. Security experts warn there is no guarantee that access will be granted after payment.

In the context of WannaCry, it primarily targets Microsoft's Windows operating system. A ransom of USD300 (RM1,300) - which is only accepted in bitcoin - must be paid to regain control.

The pop-up also features two countdown clocks; one showing a three-day deadline before the ransom amount doubles to USD600 (RM2,597) - another showing a deadline of when the target will lose its data forever.WannaCry exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft, which released a patch to fix it in March. However, people don't always install updates and patches on their computers and so this means vulnerabilities can remain open a lot longer and make things easier for hackers to get in.

Many are speculating that a hacker group is behind the attack and they've stolen a NSA-built device to aid them

A cyber gang - called "Shadow Brokers" - is being blamed for the hack. The mysterious organisation said in April it had stolen a "weapon" from the National Security Agency (NSA), America’s powerful military intelligence unit.The hacking tool - known as "Eternal Blue" -  gives unprecedented access to all computers using Microsoft Windows, the world’s most popular computer operating system.

A young 22-year-old cybersecurity expert known as "MalwareTech" slowed the attack by registering a domain name he discovered in the ransomware’s code, but he reckons that another attack is likely coming soon

Version 1 of WannaCrypt was stoppable but version 2.0 will likely remove the flaw. You're only safe if you patch ASAP.— MalwareTech (@MalwareTechBlog) May 14, 2017

The researcher, who identified himself only as MalwareTech, is a 22-year-old from south-west England who works for Kryptos logic, an LA-based threat intelligence company.The threat receded when he found a "kill switch" that involves registering a domain name used by the ransomware.

Here's what you can do to protect yourself against the attack:

Image via The Independent

1. Install and use an up-to-date antivirus solution (such as Microsoft Security Essentials and Kaspersky).2. Make sure your software is up-to-date. 3.  Avoid clicking on links or opening attachments or emails from people you don't know or companies you don't do business with. 4. Install browser extensions that help identify reported phishing and malware websites. 5. Regularly backup your important files.

Stay safe on the Internet, everyone!

Viral Video Sparks Debate About foodpanda's 'Doorstep-Delivery' Among Netizens

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

A video of a woman venting about foodpanda riders who refused to deliver food right to her apartment door has gone viral on social media

In the two-minute-30-second video, a caption reads, "Listen up, foodpanda riders. I'm so mad."The woman started venting, saying, "foodpanda riders, please listen to this. If you think you are not capable of carrying out your duties until it's done, you are not worthy to be a foodpanda rider."She explained that when she was previously staying in a condominium, it did not allow delivery riders to deliver the food to customers' units and as such, she had to go down to collect the food."Now that I'm back in my hometown and live in an apartment, you can go up to my unit without an access card, without filling in any details (in a form). So why did you force me to go down (to take the food)?" she asked.

The woman went on to describe the interaction she had with the foodpanda rider after she decided to cancel her order

She had an argument with the rider in the chatroom on the foodpanda app after the rider refused to walk up to her unit."It's okay. If you don't feel like you can't deliver anyone's food to the door, I'll just cancel (the order)," she told the rider. The woman also shared how exasperated she was when the rider ignored her after she thanked him for delivering the food to her door despite the argument."You are working, right? Don't give excuses, telling me that you have to deliver food to many other customers as well," she said, infuriated. The woman expressed that it was not her fault if the rider chose to accept many orders at once.She ended the video with a reminder to riders not to take the job if they do not wish to send food to the customer's doorstep.

The viral video had netizens all over social media debating whether food delivery riders can refuse to deliver food right to customers' doorsteps or not

Some netizens thought that the woman in the video should not have been demanding and should help ease the rider's job instead.A Facebook user commented, "It's hard if you're going to make a fuss over a small matter. Just go down and take (the food). You are the one who's going to eat it. If you get a good rider who is willing to climb up to your house, tip him, that's all. Then, just eat happily."Another person shared the same opinion, saying, "If you think you can't go down and pick up your food, don't order from foodpanda. Just cook at home."

Image via Facebook

However, some netizens were of the opinion that the woman's frustration over the rider's behaviour is valid since customers paid delivery fees for the food to be delivered to their doorsteps.A person commented, "That's the foodpanda rider's job. Customers paid for the delivery. (They should) send the food to their doorsteps."Another Facebook user thought the same, but they also thought that communication between riders and customers is important. He said, "That's why there's a delivery fee. We don't just pay for the food. But riders should communicate with customers properly to ask if the customers can pick up their food (from the lobby). Although there are some customers who are fussy, we can't do anything because that (delivering the food) is our job."

SAYS has reached out to foodpanda for a statement on this matter but has yet to receive a response.


Mydin Says Malaysians Are Poorer Despite Strong Economic Growth

Malaysia is experiencing strong gross domestic product growth but people just don't have enough money to spend on groceries, said Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin, managing director of Mydin

In his interview with radio station BFM yesterday, 5 February, Ameer pointed out that this could be seen in declining hypermarket sales across the country throughout 2017.

Hypermarkets and supermarkets, which control 50 percent of the grocery market are experiencing negative growth

He added, "That makes you wonder, how can a country grow but hypermarkets growth, which is the real basic consumption in the country, is negative."In the first quarter of 2017, Malaysia's GDP grew by 5.6% but retail sales dropped by 1.2% while hypermarket sales went down by 4.8%.He said, "I am not saying there's no growth, of course, the numbers are there. But in a normal country, growth will reflect on domestic consumption (basic goods)."In the third quarter, the retail sector shrunk by 1.1% while hypermarket growth declined by 5%. Even though the fourth quarter numbers are not out yet, Ameer is confident that the trend will continue.

According to data from Mydin stores, the prices of 150 goods have increased by more than 14% on average in the last five years

Ameer also shared some example of food prices which have shot up tremendously. Cabbage from Cameron Highlands has gone up by 29%, ikan kembung hitam (black mackerel) 19%, MAGGI Chilli Sauce 38.8%, Ayam Brand Sardines 30.6%.He added, "And you can say six percent may be because of the goods and services tax."

"The only silver lining is the ringgit has strengthened to the US dollar."

If the trend continues, Ameer thinks prices of goods might eventually decrease.

JASA's Tun Faisal dismissed Ameer's claims that Malaysians don't have enough money for groceries

Image via AntaraPos

According to Malaysiakini, Tun Faisal said that spendings in hypermarkets is not an accurate indicator to conclude that Malaysians have no money. Tun Faisal highlighted growth in other industries such as agriculture, mining, manufacturing, construction, services, utilities and F&B, claiming GDP growth was not determined by hypermarkets alone.He stressed that Ameer should not be questioning consumers' ability to spend, but rather look into the bad business decisions which led Mydin to suffer losses.

Recently, PM Najib also remarked that Malaysia is not going bankrupt as a lot of Malaysians are still travelling abroad

Image via Ideas.org

He said, “I have just fulfilled my umrah duties. However, the interesting part is whenever I go to the mosque, there will definitely be Malaysians."“I will surely bump into Malaysians or they will take pictures or videos from far away."

The ringgit may be riding on a high right now, but not everyone is:

                Ringgit Is Strengthening But Not Everyone Is Happy About It

The rise in the ringgit against the Singapore dollar has affected some consumers and money changers.

This M'sia-Based CEO Spent RM11.9 Million To Own The 1st Tweet In The World

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

Malaysia is back in the global spotlight today, 23 March, after a businessman based here spent a ridiculous amount of money to buy something that most would think is valueless.
What did he buy? He bought the first tweet in the world for RM11.9 million.

just setting up my twttr— jack (@jack) March 21, 2006

Sina Estavi is the man of the day

Little is known about him, but he is widely reported to be the chief operating officer (CEO) of blockchain company Bridge Oracle that is headquartered at Puncak Prima Condominium in Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur.According to Bloomberg, Estavi bought Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey's first tweet for USD2.9 million (approximately RM11.9 million).Dorsey had on 5 March announced that he was selling his first tweet — which is also the first tweet in the world — as a non-fungible token (NFT). He promised to donate proceeds he received from the sale to people impacted by COVID-19 in Africa.

If you did not already know, an NFT is a unique digital asset that is stored on a digital ledger, also known as the blockchain.An NFT can be a .jpg file, or a .gif, .doc, .ai, .psd, .pdf, and .mov file. The original maker of the digital asset can sell their work as an NFT on the blockchain and make money once someone buys it with cryptocurrency.In Estavi and Dorsey's case, the Malaysia-based CEO bought the ownership of the first tweet in the world, while Dorsey lost ownership of his first tweet. It might sound strange because the tweet is still publicly shown on Twitter with Dorsey's handle stamped on it, but on the blockchain, everyone in the world can verify that the tweet belongs to Estavi.

"just setting up my twttr" is the tweet Estavi spent top dollar on after outbidding everyone on auction website Valuables

Commenting about his purchase after the trade, Estavi said, "This is not just a tweet!""I think years later people will realise the true value of this tweet, like the Mona Lisa painting."The tweet was bought with cryptocurrency Ether at 1,630.58 ETH.Dorsey received 95% of the proceeds of the primary sale, while Cent — the operator of the auction website — received 5%, reported Reuters.Dorsey then converted the proceeds from Ether to Bitcoin, and donated 50.875 Bitcoins to non-governmental organisation GiveDirectly as promised.

"I'm glad this money is being donated to charity," Estavi tweeted at 3am today, adding, "Let's #Bridge to freedom"

According to CoinGecko, the price of Bridge Oracle did not see any significant changes after its CEO's splurge.

Incepted in 2019, Bridge Oracle is a blockchain startup in Malaysia, which was built on the Tron network, a cryptocurrency platform created by Justin Sun, reported Bloomberg.Sun is the Chinese token advocate who spent USD4.6 million (approximately RM18.9 million) to share a meal with Warren Buffett, who auctions off a dinner opportunity with himself every year since 2000.During the auction for Dorsey's tweet, Sun also participated in the bidding war with Estavi, reported coindesk.

This Tow Truck Scam Almost Cost A Person's Life. Here's What You Need To Know

What would you do if a tow truck offers you help on a busy highway after you got into a car accident?

In a Facebook post by Zia Shah that went viral, she explained that her father accepted a tow truck's help to move his car to the police station for RM200 after his usual tow truck service would take some time to arrive

Image via Zia Shah via Facebook

Image via Zia Shah via Facebook

Read the entire excerpt here.

But instead of taking the car to the police station as agreed, the tow truck brought the car to their workshop and threatened to keep the car unless they were paid

Image via Zia Shah via Facebook

When the tow truck arrived at the police station, the workers demanded to be paid RM2,000. The Zia's father turned to the police for help but they did not respond as he had already signed the consent form.

Image via Zia Shah via Facebook

After being forced to pay the hefty sum, a worker dropped the car off only to ask for RM200 as a "dropping fee"

Image via Zia Shah via Facebook

Image via Zia Shah via Facebook

When Zia's father refused, the worker then went to the truck to take a rod and chased her father only to be rescued by a security guard and her father's employee

Image via Zia Shah via Facebook

Image via Zia Shah via Facebook

Zia later called the police but no one picked up. Thankfully, the worker left after being told by his boss to do so.

Image via Zia Shah via Facebook

Zia mentioned in her post that her family is reluctant to make a police report as they are worried that more harm should come to them if they did

Image via Zia Shah via Facebook

So what should you do if you're caught in a car accident?

1. Check for any injuries and the safety of the passengers

Image via rhlawgroup.com

The most important thing to do immediately after a car accident is to assess any injuries you or the other drivers and passengers have received. Determine your own safety, then check with the other people involved and, if necessary, immediately call for an ambulance.

        wikihow.com

2. Snap a photo of the cars involved in the accident. Stay calm and try to remember the events and what happened. Note them down if needed.

3. If the car is obstructing traffic, move the car to the side and put on your hazard lights or a sign to alert oncoming drivers

Image via carmudi

If you can safely drive your vehicle, move it off to the side of the road and out of the path of oncoming traffic. This will keep you at a safe distance from traffic while you exchange information with the other drivers and make it easier for police and ambulance workers to reach the scene of the accident.

        wikihow.com

4. Should you be approached by tow trucks nearby, never take up their offer. There has been numerous cases where accidents has been engineered through the use of nails or oils on a targeted road.

Image via tsauto.com.my

For starters, you should never take up the offer of a “random” tow truck that “just so happened to be nearby” your car crash/breakdown location. There have been many cases where the tow truck operators themselves engineered the accidents, through the use of oil or nails on a targeted stretch of road. What you should do, is to contact a trustworthy service operator to assist you in such situations.

        paultan.org

5. Call your local motor insurance company or a trusted person for help

Image via groupon.my

The best option is to call your car’s official service centre or dealer for emergency roadside assistance. Certain models with electronic gear selectors and/or parking brakes may even need a special tool to engage a “tow mode.” Otherwise, the next best choice is to go with the tow truck service provided by your motor insurance company, or an association like AAM (Automobile Association of Malaysia) that offers breakdown services.

        paultan.org

6. If the accident is serious, call the police and to make an official report

Police will take statements from all drivers involved in the car accident and determine if a police report is necessary. This information will be important when filing insurance claims for your automobile accident. Write down the investigating officer's name and badge number in case your insurance agent or attorney needs to contact the officer. Get the names, addresses and phone numbers of all the other drivers involved in the traffic accident. Write down the make, model, year and license plate number of each vehicle. Be sure to obtain all insurance information including the company, policy number and any insurance agent contact information the driver can provide.

Swiss Man In Thailand Claims His Life Was Ruined By A Thai Woman But He Still Loves Her

A 56-year-old man from Switzerland, who now lives in Thailand, recently spoke to a Thai media about how his life was turned upside down by a Thai woman

The Swiss man, Tony Niko used to make around RM40,000 a month by running a building extension firm in his home country. There he employed 50 people to work in the firm, The Thaiger reported via TMN Cable TV.During a visit to Thailand, Tony claims he met a woman who would go on to change his life.

Image via TMN Cable News

According to Tony, he met "the love of his life" while he was visiting the Walking Street, Pattaya

Tony says he spent seven years together with the woman, whose name he said was Leuchakorn. They lived in Rayong, located on the east coast of Thailand.He claims he bought her a house, a car, and land in Rayong.And when Leuchakorn needed money for her new laundry business, Tony did not hesitate to invest in it.According to him, his life savings, worth over RM1.3 million, were enough for both of them to last.

Image via TMN Cable News

After seven years of being together, Tony finally asked the Thai woman to marry him

He believed that they would live a blissful married life and proposed to continue residing in Thailand after his marriage.Leuchakorn, however, was reluctant to marry Tony, claiming that she had to work further up north in the country.Before he realised it, she sold the house and land under her name before vanishing.

It's been three years since the woman disappeared from his life but Tony, still in love, is looking for her till today

Tony, who now battles to make ends meet each day, claims that he still loves her and wants to reunite with her so that they can continue living together.He no longer has any savings and is forced to live at a temple in Jomtien, south of Pattaya.According to The Thaiger, he survives by sweeping the grounds and getting help from the locals who are familiar with him.However, Tony claims that he is happy and still intends to continue living in Thailand.

Rude Homestay Guests In Subang Leave Apartment With Faeces On Bed And Rubbish Everywhere

Warning: Viewer discretion is advised.

A homestay owner in Subang recently shared their experience with guests who left a service apartment in shambles

A Facebook profile dubbed 'klshortstay-subangusj' uploaded several photos on the social media platform along with a caption that read, "A wake-up call to all homestay operators and hosts. In hard times during a pandemic like this, we all know that the hospitality and tourism sectors are affected badly. We are all going through tough times together, but it is sad to see people like this with no regard or empathy towards others."They added, "It's not the first time this had happened, and I know doing this business we have to risk issues like this. But this 'culture' should no longer be kept in the dark. Even though through verbal and written warning: no smoking, no partying, people like you still do it."

Image via Jin (Provided to SAYS)

SAYS reached out to the owner of the Facebook profile. Introducing himself as Jin, the host said, "I just shared into the Airbnb host group to express my feelings and also warn other hosts to beware of suspicious guests (sic)."

Image via Jin (Provided to SAYS)

A man booked a stay at the apartment through an online platform and said that he was hosting a small gathering among friends.
The next day, the housekeeper found the place in terrible condition with faeces on the bed and rubbish everywhere.

Jin said, "On the checkout date, my housekeeper sent me a video and some pictures, they held a party, and there was rubbish all over and faeces on the bed. I was so disappointed because this kind of party has taken place a few times before this."He then added, "We warn guests not to smoke and party but they still do it. This kind of culture should not be a thing, renting people's homes and leaving it in such a mess."

Photos provided to SAYS show rubbish such as empty cans and drinking cups littered everywhere while fecal matter stained bedsheets and dripped down to the bedroom floor.

Jin has decided to not take further legal action against the guests but stressed that it is important to spread awareness among others

"All business sectors are affected during the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO), especially hospitality and tourism. We don't really make much profit per night and guests like this can cost us a lot in repairs and cleaning. We need to shut the house down for three days so it would be okay for the next guest," he said.

"I wanted to file a police report. Some of my friends also suggested taking legal action but I chose not to because cases like these are normally swept under the rug. I felt that the best way is to spread awareness to people who like to party and wreck people's houses and also warn other hosts to be wary," Jin added.

5 Kerenah Yang Hanya Wujud Pada Bulan Ramadan. Jangan Tipu, Korang Mesti Macam Ni Jugak!

Artikel ini ditaja oleh Nescafe.

Bulan Ramadan merupakan bulan suci yang dinantikan umat Islam seluruh dunia

Image via Make A Gif

Pada bulan inilah kita diajak untuk memperbanyak amal ibadat selain menahan lapar dan dahaga. Nak kejar keberkatan bulan yang mulia ni. Bukan senang, tahun depan belum tentu jumpa! Tapi disebabkan bulan puasa ni hanya setahun sekali, selalu terjadi momen lucu sama ada anda terlupa tengah puasa atau tak tahan sangat nak berbuka puasa.

Kami kongsikan 5 ragam yang anda boleh 'relate' pada bulan Ramadan ini. Amacam, korang macam ni juga ke? Hehe.

1. Terlajak nak sahur, sedar je dah azan Subuh

Image via Giphy

Disebabkan waktu bersahur adalah pada awal pagi, mesti pernah terlajak tidur sampai tak bersahur. Lagi sedih kalau sedar masa tengah azan Subuh. Bagi anda yang dah biasa berpuasa, mungkin rasa takda hal pun kalau tak bersahur. Tapi kalau jenis yang berpuasa masa bulan Ramadan je, mesti berguling nak tunggu waktu berbuka kan?  Nasiblah...

2. Dah fikir dah nak berbuka makan apa. Kemain awal lagi!

Image via Giphy

Baru pukul 10 pagi dah fikir nak masak ke beli je untuk berbuka? Perangai apa ni? Mungkin setakat planning awal tak apa lagi, tapi kalau sampai pengaruh orang untuk sama-sama usha makanan untuk berbuka puasa, sampai semua jadi lapar. Baik mengaku ada buat tak perangai macam ini?

3. Hantu bazaar Ramadan

Image via OHBULAN!

Puasa dan bazar merupakan dua perkara yang tidak boleh dipisahkan. Setiap kali tibanya bulan puasa, bazar Ramadanlah yang paling dinantikan. Di sanalah anda boleh jumpa kuih-muih tradisional, ayam bakar, ayam golek, nasi ayam penyek dan pelbagai jenis air kat satu tempat. Alang-alang bulan puasa ni mengajar kita erti kesabaran dan menahan nafsu, janganlah membazir semasa berbelanja. Beli ala kadar je, sekadar kenyangkan perut sudahlah.

4. Asyik tengok jam je, macam pertama kali puasa. Ish!

Image via Giphy

Jangan ingat dah besar tak buat perangai. Makin tua kadang-kadang perangai  berpuasa mengalahkan budak-budak. Asyik tengok jam je, sebab tak sabar nak tunggu waktu nak berbuka. Paling parah bila tinggal sejam dua sebelum berbuka, asyik tanya pukul berapa. Gaya lapar macam sebulan tak makan. Siapa ada kawan macam ni? Memang perlukan kesabaran yang tinggi nak layan dia.

5. Waktu berbuka, teguk air kalau boleh nak habiskan satu jag. Dahaga sangat tu!

Image via Giphy

Lepas seharian berpuasa, waktu berbuka pastinya dinantikan semua. Dapat pula air manis dan berais, pastinya dapat memberikan rasa lega. Dapat pula minum air favourite memang layan!Nak pula dapat NESCAFÉ Smoovlatte dengan rasa kopi yang lemak berkrim, mesti puas punyalah untuk buka puasa. Sekali teguk je boleh habis.

Kekal Smoov Sepanjang Ramadan dengan NESCAFÉ Smoovlatte ~

Seharian berpuasa NESCAFÉ Smoovlatte pastinya dapat membantu anda kekal fokus sepanjang hari.

Why Did Malaysian Authorities Arrest ABC’s Journalists After That Press Con?

A. Santamil Selvi, wife of the late private investigator P. Balasubramaniam, held a press conference last Saturday, 12 March to apologise to Prime Minister Najib Razak and his wife for past accusations regarding Altantuya Shaariibuu's murder

                P.I. Bala's Wife's Press Con: Highlights, Plot Twists, And A BN Bribe?

Sarawak Report said that it has found evidence that shows Bala's wife was bribed.

Read the full story

A. Santamil Selvi read out her apology in the office of Persatuan Minda dan Sosial Prihatin (PMSP) activist, Ramesh Rao Naidu, in Petaling Jaya, but ran off after she was unable to answer questions about her statement. She later said her husband’s statutory declaration linking Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor was true. "When my husband died I felt 'tension' so I blamed Datin Seri Rosmah. Come March 15, my husband would have been dead for three years, but not a single person has asked if I needed help. "I apologise to Datin Seri Rosmah for saying she killed my husband," Selvi said. Asked if she was also apologising to Najib, she said she was only apologising to Rosmah.

However, the press conference took an unfortunate turn when Selvi stormed out angrily after an Australian journalist questioned the motives behind her apology, asking if she was bribed to do so

During a press conference at Pertubuhan Minda dan Social Prihatin Malaysia (Minda), A. Santamil Selvi first read out an apology to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his family for the allegations and difficulties she and her family had caused to them.When asked for an explanation on why she had "all of a sudden" apologised, Santamil just said she had made the allegations out of anger."I was upset over his death and so upon hearing everyone blaming Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor (Najib's wife), I too was influenced that she murdered my husband."Which is why I want to retract what I said and I want to apologise for causing the family any sort of difficulty," she said.

"Why have you after so many years of fighting really for your husband's name and the allegations he made, suddenly changed your story? Is this part of a political conspiracy to protect the prime minister?" asked ABC Australia's Four Corners journalist Linton Besser

"I waited for three years, they (PKR) promised me they will do everything for my children, but until now they haven't done anything," answered Selvi. When asked if she thinks her late husband's statements on the Altantuya case is true, Selvi said, "yes, it's all true". Interjecting Selvi, Minda's president Datuk Ramesh Rao angrily responded to Besser's question saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Stupid... have you ever been paid by PKR to do this?"I'm not being paid by anyone except my employer," answered Besser.

So, what happened next? How and why did the Malaysian authorities arrest Besser and his camera operator, Louie Eroglu?

Why the Four Corners duo were in Malaysia:According to news reports, they arrived on 5 March and have been investigating the allegations of corruption and bribery tied to the murder of model, Altantuya Shaariibuu. ABC Four Corners is ABC Television's news and current affairs program. Where they were arrested and why:The duo was picked up by the authorities after they allegedly crossed the security line and tried to approach PM Najib Razak in Kuching for questions. They are being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant.

Both were released without charge on Sunday, 13 March, but have been told not to leave the country.Their passports were initially seized but have since been returned."Both of them were subsequently arrested for failing to comply with police instructions not to cross the security line," read a police statement obtained by AFP.

        abc.net.au

"They were just carrying out their duties and asked the prime minister questions and they stopped when they were told to," explained the duo's lawyer, Albert Tang

"They denied any accusation of obstructing anybody and there was no security line," Tang told The Malaysian Insider.Sally Neighbour, the programme’s executive producer, said on Twitter the staff were arrested "after trying to question Prime Minister (Datuk Seri) Najib Razak over a corruption scandal".The journalists, Linton Besser, 39, and Louis Eroglu,  51, tried to approach Najib who was on an official visit to the Darul Ehsan Mosque at Kampung Haji Baki, Kota Sentosa, at 8.35pm last night.Tang said the journalists did ask Najib questions, but he was not aware of the questions being asked.

        themalaysianoutsider.com

Responding to the arrest, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said that they would have to discuss with the Attorney General's Chambers before pressing charges

He said the action of the two men was improper as the Prime Minister’s event was not an interview or media conference session.Khalid said media personnel, whether local or international, should maintain ethics while conducting their duties."Security control for the Prime Minister is the task of the police. We do not want anything untoward happening to him," he said, according to Bernama.

Meanwhile, the Australian government has expressed concerns over the arrest, stressing that they will be bringing up the matter to Putrajaya

The Australian government will be contacting Malaysia over the two Australian reporters who were detained and had their passports seized on Saturday after attempting to interview Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Australian foreign minister Julie Bishop said.Bishop was quoted by international news agency AP as saying that the issue of the newsmen’s treatment “are matters that we are raising with the Malaysian authorities.”“We will do what we can to get to the bottom of this issue and make representations at the highest levels within the Malaysian government,” she was quoted as saying.The programme's executive producer Sally Neighbour said the newsmen's passports were returned yesterday, but they have been barred from leaving the country.

E-Hailing Drivers Are Angry About The RM10 Fee For Picking Up Late Passengers At KLIA

E-hailing drivers have expressed their disapproval against paying a charge of RM10 if they wait more than five minutes for passengers at KLIA and klia2's new pick-up points

Image via Visit KL

Since Saturday, 12 October, e-hailing drivers are required to use their Touch 'n Go (TnG) cards, debit or credit paywave cards to enter the two new designated pick-up locations at both the Kuala Lumpur International airports.According to the drivers, they cannot rely on passengers to be punctual.Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) has introduced a new rule that charges drivers RM10 penalty fee if their customers are late by five minutes to the pick-up points. The penalty is served as a deterrent for e-hailing cars holding up traffic space.Additionally, starting 1 November, a company that serves as a 'queue manager' will charge e-hailing drivers RM5 for each pick-up at klia2, reported The Star.

Malaysia E-hailing Drivers Association president Daryl Chong said the five-minute window is "totally unfair"

Image via New Straits Times

Chong said it is impossible for e-hailing drivers to complete pick-ups within five minutes as many passengers often book a ride even before they step out of the arrival hall."Their walk to the new pick-up points may take up to 20 minutes. And for passengers who are not familiar with the vicinity around the airport, they will take even more time," he said, as quoted by The Star."We understand MAHB wants a proper pick-up place for e-hailing services and they don't want drivers to clog up the small area. We also understand the RM10 charge is a form of deterrent."But the allowed five-minute waiting time is too short and troubling drivers," Chong said, adding that the waiting window should be extended to 15 minutes.

Chong also urged e-hailing companies to update their apps to make the new pick-up points the only locations they can find their drivers

Over the weekend, New Straits Times reported that many drivers and passengers were not aware about the new pick-up points.E-hailing drivers are now only allowed to pick up passengers at Doors 3 and 4, Level 1 of the Main Terminal Building at KLIA, and at Door 5, Level 1 of the Transportation Hub at klia2.Previously, e-hailing drivers were able to pick up passengers at arrival exits of both airports - just like how the public, taxis, and airport limousines can.

Image via klia2

A spokesperson of an e-hailing company, who declined to be named, said that the new change is unfair for the e-hailing drivers because other ride service providers do not have to follow the same rule, reported The Star."Why are only the e-hailing drivers getting penalised for waiting and not the taxis and airport limousines," he asked.

When announcing the move last Friday, MAHB chief executive officer Raja Azmi Raja Nazuddin said the change is meant to smoothen the traffic at KLIA and klia2

Image via Google Maps

In a press release, Malaysia Airports said there is a complimentary waiting area for e-hailing drivers at Landside Operations office which is just five minutes away from the terminals.They said e-hailing drivers will be able to pick up passengers within five minutes at the new pick-up points if the latter waited at the free designated parking area ahead.

Read more about the change in our previous report here:

                These Are The New Pick-Up Points For Grab And Other E-Hailing Rides At KLIA And Klia2

The change in designated pick-up points came into effect on Saturday, 12 October.

Clarification: KPDNHEP Won't Fine People RM100,000 For Not Wearing SIRIM Certified Masks

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

The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) won't fine people who wear non-medical face masks without the MS SIRIM certification and labelling from SIRIM QAS International

The ministry will only be taking enforcement action against manufacturers and importers who fail to comply with the newly set safety standards that were gazetted under the Trade Descriptions (Certification and Marking) of Non-Medical Face Mask Order 2022 under the Trade Descriptions Act 2011 earlier this week.An earlier SAYS report, based on coverage by New Straits Times and Bernama, had said that "individuals will be facing fines up to RM100,000 or three years in jail, or both".The confusion, it appears, is due to the wording used in the ministry's official statement itself.

Image via KPDNHEP

In the ministry's statement, while manufacturers and importers are specified as "company", no clarification is provided for "individuals"

Furthermore, the ministry's official statement offers no additional explanation. However, according to the latest New Straits Times report, "individuals" in the ministry's statement refers to "personnel in the business of manufacturing and importing non-medical face masks and not members of the public".

Doctors Say Savariamal Did Not Suffer From Broken Bones From The Fall. But How Did She Fell Down The Shaft?

Her son, Prakash Suppiah, 30, said doctors at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) told him that his mother did not sustain any broken bones from the fall.
Her death certificate stated the cause as “chest injury due to fall from high” (sic).

        yahoo.com

“My mother suffered from high-blood pressure, diabetes and heart-blockage, but she had no problems working,” Prakash said.
“Ask anyone and they would know her. It really puzzles me how she fell down the shaft,” he added.

[PHOTOS] Stranded Teacher Returns To JB After 90 Days To Find Her Home Covered In Mould

After being trapped in her hometown for 90 days due to the Movement Control Order (MCO), a teacher was shocked to find her Johor Bahru house in a devastating state

In several Facebook posts, Sarah shared pictures of her walls and ceilings that were damp and cracked. The photos show mould forming under furniture and dead cockroaches were found in various corners of the house.According to her, the pipes connecting to the water tank on her roof had burst, causing damage to the walls and ceilings. Sarah said the walls looked like they had "shingles".Photos also show that her refrigerator seemed to have stopped working and dark mould had formed all over food packages and the refrigerator's door.

Sarah related that she went back to her hometown on 13 March when the school holiday began

She only brought three days' worth of clothes as she intended to stay for a short period.But little did she know that the government would impose the MCO on 18 March, which banned interstate travel, leaving her stranded in her hometown for three months.

Image via Que Sera Sera/Facebook

She, tongue-in-cheek, likened the condition of her house to a 'makeover'

"This is the 'makeover' that our house got in three months," Sarah wrote in her viral post with over 700 shares."I did not ask for this 'makeover', but I got it anyway. I am truthfully blessed."She said stray kitties were found in the house too. The felines' discharge caused a pungent smell in the house, but she said that it was much more tolerable compared to the smell coming out from the refrigerator.China Press reported that since she found the cats in her house, it left her with no choice but to continue sheltering them for the time being.

Some photos also show Sarah wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) while spring cleaning

Image via Que Sera Sera/Facebook

"I wear PPE to protect myself from bacteria that we do not see (with our naked eyes) because the house was a mess," she told mStar. "The most challenging part for me was cleaning the refrigerators. The smell is indescribable, only those who have experienced it before can know the feeling. "Lucky for me, I have two refrigerators. That's a real bonus for me," Sarah, a mother of one, said in jest.She said the odour in the refrigerators cannot be removed although they had been cleaned. While one of the freezers is working, she said she would only use it again once the foul smell is gone.Sarah said the house was cleaned by her husband and her over a few days, adding that she will paint the walls after they are dried.

A Father In Perlis First Raped His Disabled Daughter And Then Let His Friend Rape Her Too

On Friday, 28 June, two men, aged 61 and 53, were arrested in Arau, Perlis, after a police report was lodged against them for rape

According to NST Online, the 61-year-old man is the father of the victim, whom he raped her at their home in Kampung Baru Pauh at 8.30pm in the month of May."In the same month, her father took her to a friend's farm and raped her there."Initial investigations showed that the victim's father colluded with his friend and allowed the latter to rape his daughter," Perlis police chief Senior Asst Comm (SAC) Noor Mushar Mohamad was quoted as saying by The Star Online.

The police report was lodged on 27 June by the 28-year-old intellectually disabled victim with the help of her neighbour

"The victim did not know who she could tell on the matter, as she has learning disabilities and she can't speak properly," SAC Noor Mushar told NST Online.He said that even her mother and younger sister have the same disability, which made it more difficult for the victim to come forward.The victim is currently being treated at the Tuanku Fauziah Hospital, where an initial medical examination found an old tear in the victim's private parts.

Both the father and his friend have been remanded for seven days

Their remand date was set from the day of their arrest on 28 June.Perlis police are investigating the case under Section 372 of the Penal Code for exploiting any person for prostitution, SAC Noor Mushar said.


Vietnamese Factory Has Been Mixing Dirt And Battery Chemicals Into Their Coffee Since 2016

A Vietnamese family-run business has been caught producing cheap “dirty” coffee made from batteries, dust and harmful materials

Image via Saigoneer

After receiving some tip-offs from local residents who observed suspicious activities in the area, police raided the facility in Dak Nong province on Monday afternoon and found 12 tons of “dirty” coffee.

Other raw materials used in the production were also discovered, including 35kg of black powder extracted from used batteries and a bucket of black liquid weighing 10kg

A bucket filled with used batteries at the facility.

The owner, Nguyen Thi Loan, told the police that she would buy rejected coffee beans from other facilities at a low price. They would then mix the beans with dirt and rock dust, and dye the whole mixture black with the battery material.A highly toxic chemical, manganese dioxide, is said to be the black substance in batteries, according to chemistry expert Associate Professor Tran Hong Con.Manganese poisoning is said to cause brain damage after prolonged exposure.

Despite the owner’s confession and evidence, police have not found enough proof to conclude that the “coffee” was sold for food and drinks, according to Tuoi Tre News

Image via Saigon Street Eats

The business had been operating since 2016 and since the start of this year, they have supplied around 2,700kg worth of coffee, according to Loan’s statement.Tuoi Tre News reported that the police are scrambling to find enough evidence to determine where the coffee has been sold and for what purpose. In the meantime, concerned consumers in Vietnam demand justice for those involved in the business.

However, this isn’t the first time Vietnamese coffee has been found to hold chemicals. Back in 2015 in Ho Chi Minh, a black liquid that smelled like coffee was believed to contain dangerous heavy metals such as mercury and lead.

If consumed regularly, it was said to cause stomach and liver cancer, according to Thanhnien news."You actually only need a few drops for a perfect cup. Most coffee shops use this liquid, as it gives a very real fragrance, and a lot of profits," said Xuan, one of the local sellers to a Thanhnien news undercover reporter.According to Xuan, the liquid actually comes from China.

Local coffee shop owner, Hai, who claims to use real coffee beans said that they already allow him to earn a 100 percent profit margin. "Only those who want to spend one and earn ten would use this kind of murderous chemical," he said.As an experienced coffee maker, he said he can recognise a cup of coffee made from the toxic liquid as it has a pungent smell, tastes more bitter and does not leave some sweetness at the end."But casual coffee drinkers will not be able to tell the difference," he said.

Meanwhile, in Malaysia, the Health Ministry confirmed that two brands of canned sardines from China have been found to be contaminated by worms:

The importers involved have been instructed to recall the products.
