Note that supper clubs are not actually business establishments, but a venture usually initiated by someone who is passionate about cooking and would like to share their love for good food with like-minded people. While prices tend to be on the expensive side, the home-cooked food and multi-course setting makes it pretty worth it.Dinner parties are usually hosted in the host or chef's residence based on their availability and guests will only be entertained if they make prior reservations or in the presence of an invitation. Dinner events are often advertised by word-of-mouth, e-mail or Facebook.

So, if you're yearning for something new combined with the familiar taste of home, here are some underground supper clubs to check out:

115- And 111-Year-Old Kelantan Sisters Attribute Long & Healthy Life To Fasting

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

Two sisters in Kelantan, both more than a century old, have attributed their good health and long life to their practice of fasting for three months every year

115-year-old Munah Yunus and 111-year-old Pah Yunus who live with their children in Kampung Rengas, Machang said they are grateful to be blessed with long lives.Pah told Bernama that many people have asked her and her sister for tips on living a long life too."I told them that we fast, which we have been doing since were were young and are still doing," the mother of five, grandmother of 16, and great-grandmother of 36 shared."My sister and I always fast for three consecutive months, which is from the month of Rejab, through Syaaban, and then Ramadan. We also fast on Mondays and Thursdays."

While the sisters — whose husbands have passed away — consider themselves generally healthy, they have been slowing down because of a fall about 10 years ago

"It was separate incidents, but both of of us suffered back injuries and after some time it affected our movement. Our legs became weak and we cannot walk properly," said Pah, adding that they can still move around their children's homes by shuffling slowly.She added that her older sister also hasn't been able to do their three-month fast consistently in the past few years."Munah has become senile and tires easily, but during Ramadan, she will fast. Alhamdulillah, so far, I have no problem fasting, and health wise, I only have high blood pressure and Parkinson's disease," the younger sister said.Pah's son, 63-year-old Mohd Ramli Ismail, also told Berita Harian that other than fasting, his mother also takes good care of her diet and often eats healthy food such as ulam.

Both the sisters live with their respective children in Kampung Rengas, Machang.

The centenarians also made headlines recently for getting their COVID-19 vaccinations together

Both the sisters recovered well after both of their vaccine doses, with Pah not getting any side effects while Munah was down with fever for a few days.According to Harian Metro, Mohd Ramli said his mother woke up in high spirits to attend her first appointment at a vaccination centre in Pulai Chondong on 12 July.Meanwhile, Munah's daughter, 64-year-old Siti Mariam Taib, said her mother was also determined to get the shot because she was concerned about COVID-19 and her risk as a senior citizen."At the same time, she was also excited because she and her sister have promised to get their vaccines together," she said, adding that the sisters have been close since young because they have no other siblings."I'm thankful that my mum is blessed with good health, and despite being more than a century old, she is able to watch her 15 grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren grow up," the daughter added.

Recently, a doctor from Kuala Lumpur shared that her hospital is seeing fewer elderly patients because of COVID-19 vaccines:

Their Majesties also spent over an hour visiting 25 other cancer patients and interacted with their parents and staff at the hospital's Haematology-Ochology Ward

Speaking to Bernama, Mya said she had planned to go to Istana Negara but was unable to do so due to her ongoing treatment."Even though I cannot go to Istana Negara, the Queen said she will cook something for me," Mya  said. "I'm so excited because I have watched on television how she always cooked for the people, and after this, I will have the chance to taste it too."

"We always work with hospitals to fulfil the dreams of children, and today, it is Mya's turn," said Tan."She was so happy when she found out that Their Majesties were coming and had even asked to borrow a pair of baju kurung from the nurses so that she would look nicer."


Mother Of Decapitated 11-Year-Old: "What Did She Do To Deserve Such Cruelty?"

On Saturday, 9 February, an 11-year-old was found in an oil palm plantation in Pahang allegedly tied-up, decapitated, and missing some of her internal organs

Siti Masyitah Ibrahim had been missing since she went to a shop in Kampung Tanjung Medang Hilir, Pekan alone on 30 January, New Straits Times reported."She said she would return home early. That was the last time I saw her," said her mother Zaleha Abdullah.

However, Pahang police chief Datuk Mohd Zakaria Ahmad told Malaysiakini that the body found by locals was not missing any organs."Hands tied? That's not true. The body was also intact," he said, explaining that they are awaiting the results of the post-mortem.

The villagers had been searching for the child for 11 days before her body was discovered

According to villager Mohd Rosli Mat Rasat, they had looked all over the village including the site where the 11-year-old was eventually found."I suspect she was killed elsewhere and dumped in the oil palm plantation," he said.

Although the young girl's body had decomposed, her 35-year-old mother was able to identify Siti Masyitah by the blue dress she was wearing on the day she disappeared

Zaleha said that she was "heartbroken" to see her 11-year-old daughter's horrific condition."Who is the heartless person who did this to my child?" she asked.

Image via New Straits Times

"It broke my heart to see my daughter's body. Her hands and legs were tied, and her head was severed," said Zaleha in a report by New Straits Times."Why did they kill her? What did she do to deserve such cruelty? What was her sin?"

Police have since remanded a foreigner, said to be a family friend, who was believed to be the last person seen with the missing girl

"The victim was last seen riding a motorcycle with the man on 30 January," said District police chief Superintendent Amran Sidek.He is being held for 14 days under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for failing to provide any valid travel documents and will be interviewed to facilitate police investigations.

Apple is also launching a new search API for developers to take advantage of iOS 9 and Siri's functionality.

The iPad Air 2 is also getting a split-screen feature that will let users see two apps at once, a big boost for multitaskers. Other multitasking features will come to all iPads, including a way to switch between apps by swiping from either edge of the tablet’s display. Users of iOS 9 will also be able to minimize videos so they can place smaller windows anywhere on an iPad screen.

As of Thursday, 27 February 2014, Malaysia's Population Count Has Broken The 30 Million Mark!

Malaysia Has Officially Achieved A Population Count Of 30 Million On Thursday, 27 February 2014

PETALING JAYA: When dawn breaks on Malaysia Thursday morning, the country's population will have broken the 30 million number.

According To The Population Clock Published On The Malaysia Statistics Department Website, Malaysia Has 30,000,281 Citizens At 10.32am

According to the population clock published on the Malaysia Statistics Department website, the country has 29,999,530 citizens at 6.43pm Wednesday.

The Population Clock Malaysia is updated every minute. The Population Clock covers all usual residents in Malaysia. It excludes Malaysians residing outside of Malaysia. This projection does not take into consideration factors such as natural disasters or epidemics which can significantly affect death estimates. The estimates used are assumed to be constant for a period of three months (every quarter) before the estimates are updated. The population increase may be subjected to small discrepancies caused by rounding.

According To The Star, Malaysia's 30 Millionth Baby Was Born At Approximately 2am On 27 February 2014

Based on The Star Online's monitoring of the population clock, approximately one birth rate occurs every minute, which means the 30 million figure will be reached at approximately 2am on Thursday.

        thestar.com.my

Sometime this week, or even as early as today, the 30 millionth Malaysian will be born and it will most probably be a Malay boy. This is based on the Statistics Department’s figures that show males outnumbering females by a ratio of 106:100 and Malays form the largest segment of the population.

Malaysia's Population Was Only At 6.3 Million On 31 August 1957. It Has Tripled Since Then.

By 2040, Malaysia's Population Will Be At The 38.5 Million Mark

According to the Statistics Department, Malaysia’s population has more than tripled since it was formed in 1963.
Back in 1957 when Tunku Abdul Rahman shouted “Merdeka” seven times in the newly-built Stadium Merdeka on August 31, there were only 6.3 million Malayans.

        themalaymailonline.com

What’s more, there were only 410,500 Sabahans and 693,200 Sarawakians then, according to the book, Malaysia’s Demographic Transition: Rapid development, Culture, Politics by Richard Lete.

        themalaymailonline.com

The Department also stated that as at 2010, Bumiputras make up 67.4% of the popiulation, Chinese (24.6%), Indians, (7.3%), with other races making up the remaining 0.7%.

According to the Statistics Department, it is projected that Malaysia’s population will grow to 38.6 million in 2040. A rough calculation based on the projected growth rate of an average of 1 per cent, the Malaysian population will at most be 65 million in 2100. By 2040, the Statistics Department projects that the number of Malays will increase to 20.9 million (54 per cent of overall population), followed by other Bumiputras, 5.2 million (14 per cent) and the Chinese, 7.1 million (18 per cent).

DAP's Anthony Loke Also Responded To The PM's Remarks, Saying That The Chinese Have A Democratic Right To Vote For Whoever They Wish To

The opposition leader added that the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition has no right to “take revenge” on voters who choose to cast their ballots for the opposition, in response to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak who called on Chinese Malaysians to back the BN if they wanted more aid.

        themalaymailonline.com

“The right and freedom to choose whichever party and candidate to represent them is something that cannot be questioned in a democracy,” Loke said in a statement in Malay. “Hence, it becomes the responsibility of the party that forms the government to administer the country and serve all citizens without taking revenge on voters who did not support them,” the Seremban MP added.

        themalaymailonline.com

On The Other Hand, MCA President Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai Said That Najib's Words Had Been Twisted By Online News Portals, Saying That Najib Had Merely Expressed Hope That The Chinese Community Would Continue To Support BN Instead Of The Opposition

"The online report was twisted, they like giving a negative image (of the government). We were all there at the assembly, we heard clearly the prime minister’s positive response to MCA’s proposals," said Liow at the party’s headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. "He clearly said that MCA fights to raise the Chinese community and that he hoped (the Chinese) would continue to support BN, and not the opposition."

Lelaki Malaysia Ini Tinggal Selama 4 Tahun Di Dalam 'Mall' Di Singapura

Setiap orang mahu memiliki sebuah rumah yang selesa untuk didiami. Tetapi tidak buat lelaki yang bernama Chen Jinfu ini. Dia memilih untuk tinggal di shopping mall dan perkara itu telah lama dilakukannya.

Image via wanbao

Lelaki warga Malaysia yang berusia 35 tahun ini dilaporkan telah 'mendiami' Pusat membeli-belah Jurong Point selama hampir 4 tahun.Menurut laporan media di Singapura, Lianhe Wanbao semalam, Chen menggunakan segala kemudahan seperti air, elektrik, dan WiFi di pusat membeli-belah tersebut secara percuma.Chen mengatakan suasana di pusat membeli-belah itu sangat selesa kerana mempunyai kemudahan air-conditioning dan banyak kemudah fasiliti seperti pasaraya 24 jam. Malah ia juga boleh mengecas telefon bimbit miliknya tanpa sebarang caj.

Mungkin ramai beranggapan dia merupakan seorang gelandangan. Tidak, tanggapan itu ternyata salah. Chen bahkan menyewa sebuah bilik dengan menggunakan duitnya sendiri.

Chen yang berasal dari Ipoh, Perak itu bekerja di sebuah kilang elektronik. Dia menyewa sebuah bilik yang dikongsi berdua di Boon Lay, satu kawasan kejiranan yang terletak di bandar Jurong West dengan harga SGD250 (RM780) sebulan.Mungkin ia kedengaran agak pelik, tetapi Chen memberitahu dia berasa sukar tinggal di bilik tersebut kerana di sana sangat panas, sempit, malah tidak 'sebulu' dengan penyewa yang lain.Dia hanya akan pulang sekali atau dua kali seminggu hanya untuk mandi dan membersihkan diri. Chen tidak mempunyai port yang tetap untuk bermalam di sana. Dia boleh tidur di mana-mana sahaja termasuklah di kawasan tangga dan kaki lima di pasaraya tersebut.Padanya itu lebih baik berbanding bermalam di dalam bilik yang disewanya itu.

Tetapi kenapa Chen perlu menyewa bilik sedangkan dia lebih selesa 'tinggal' di kawasan pusat membeli-belah tersebut?

Seperti yang dilaporkan, dia memberitahu bahawa dia sangat perlu menyewa mana-mana tempat walaupun dia 'tinggal' di pusat membeli-belah tersebut kerana dia memerlukan alamat tetap untuk pas bekerja.Chen sudah bekerja di Singapura selama 10 tahun dan pendapatan beliau kini adalah sebanyak SGD1,000 bersamaan RM3,125 sebulan.

Image via www.superadrianme.com

Dan bagaimana pula Chen boleh melakukan perkara ini bertahun-tahun tanpa ditangkap walau sekalipun?

Dia memberitahu bahawa dia tidak pernah menghadapi sebarang masalah setakat ini. Menurut jurucakap Jurong Point, dia dibenarkan untuk tinggal seberapa lama yang dia mahu tetapi dia tidak boleh mengganggu mana-mana aktiviti yang diadakan di pusat membeli-belah tersebut."Jika Chen Jinfu menggunakan kemudahan kami dalam cara yang sesuai tanpa menimbulkan apa-apa kekacauan, gangguan atau ancaman kepada keselamatan pusat membeli-belah, kami menyambut dia seperti mana-mana pembeli yang lain," kata beliau seperti yang dilaporkan The Straits Times.Beliau berkata pihak pengurusan pusat membeli-belah adalah sangat "bermurah hati" kerana pelanggan boleh menikmati dan menggunakan Wi-Fi percuma yang telah ditawarkan sejak 2015.

Chen juga dilaporkan sering ke Johor untuk membeli barang-barang keperluan hariannya

Chen melakukan ini hampir setiap hujung minggu untuk memaksimumkan simpanan.Dia hanya akan kembali ke Ipoh sekali setahun untuk melawat ibu bapanya semasa Tahun Baru Cina kerana ia memerlukan kos yang tinggi untuk pulang ke sana. Dia berkata dia sering menghantar wang kepada ibu bapanya dari semasa ke semasa."Kos sara hidup di Singapura adalah sangat tinggi. Jadi wang yang ada hanya  cukup untuk menyewa sebuah bilik untuk tidur," kata Chen.

The 5 Major Highlights Of NST's Wang Kelian Human Trafficking Exposé

In May 2015, 139 graves and 28 abandoned camps were discovered in the dense jungles along the Thai-Malaysia border in Wang Kelian, Perlis.
The squalid camps were used to house human trafficking victims.

The graves were found in Perlis, bordering Thailand's Songkhla province, where Thai authorities stumbled upon a mass grave and human trafficking camps that they suspect held almost 800 people in early May 2015. Former Malaysian IGP Khalid Abu Bakar confirmed the shocking discovery on 25 May 2015. "It is a very sad scene. I am shocked. We never expected this kind of cruelty," he told reporters, according to a Guardian report. Describing the conditions of the camps, Khalid said the police found crudely built cages made from wood and barbed wire that were too small to even stand in where they believe the human trafficking victims were imprisoned. "They were not allowed to move freely and traffickers kept watch at sentry posts," he added. As they dug deeper, they found a pink teddy bear and other children's items in one of the camps. Bullet casings and metal chains added to the discovery, indicating that the victims were not only held in inhuman condition, but were also tortured. Soon after, New Straits Times (NST) reported that more than 150 remains of foreigners were exhumed from the unmarked mass graves in Wang Kelian.

Autopsies conducted on the remains revealed that the victims had starved to death or died of diseases. The first decomposed body the investigators found was described as having "only bones and little bit of clothing on it".

These discoveries shed light on the growing human trafficking crisis in Malaysia. A 2009 report on the trafficking and extortion of Burmese migrants in Malaysia and Southern Thailand to the Committee of Foreign Relation United States Senate detailed the alleged complicity of Malaysian government officials with human traffickers. "Burmese migrants in Malaysia, often, regardless of whether they possess UNHCR identification, are arrested and placed in detention facilities. The committee has reports of individual refugees UNHCR official documentation being destroyed by Malaysian officials at the time of arrest or later."The report cited testimonies from Burmese migrants which explained how the smuggling camps operated in Malaysia.

Once captured, the migrants would allegedly be transported to the border by Malaysian government officials and later handed over to human traffickers, operating from the Thai side of the border.
The migrants would then be held in captivity close to Malaysia-Thai border areas, beaten and sexually abused.

Their only way out is if they know someone in Malaysia who can pay a ransom of RM1,500 to RM1,900 per person, which is pretty much impossible to gather, given the fact that most of these migrants are Rohingya Muslims and Bangladeshis who are trying to escape persecution and poverty-stricken lives in their home countries. If they are unable to raise the money for their release, the migrants would then be sold into slavery, to fishing boats and brothels. But the discovery of these mass graves indicate that the chances of making it out alive of the camps are slim.

More than two years after the shocking discovery of the Wang Kelian graves and human trafficking camps, New Straits Times' two-year investigation on the case uncovered some horrid truths.
Here are five major highlights from the report:

1. The Perlis police found out about the existence of the Wang Kelian jungle camps in January 2015, but only made the discovery public almost half a year later on 25 May

The Wang Kelian campsite.
Image via New Straits Times

One of NST's sources, who only wanted to be identified as ASP J.K., had lodged a report on the matter, stating that two General Operations Force (GOF) officers "stumbled upon an observation post" on a tree during a "routine patrol" at a "dumpsite" in the jungle of Wang Kelian at 10.15pm on 19 January 2015. Further checks on the same night found a trail leading into the Mata Ayer forest reserve. They followed the trail to the top of Bukit Wang Burma with a 30-man raiding team. There, they found a 30m X 30m campsite and that was the first time the Perlis authorities found a human trafficking syndicate along the Nakawan Range. The team spotted six cages with groups of men and women packed in. The campsite was guarded by foreign men who were armed with M-16 rifles. At about 4.30pm the next day, on 20 January 2015, the authorities conducted a raid and detained 38 human trafficking victims, 22 Bangladeshi and 16 Burmese nationals. NST says the official after-action report claims that around 150 human trafficking victims whom the team saw caged up earlier, had "escaped into the jungle" along with the armed foreign men. "How the men and women managed to "escape" the assault team remains unknown. We will never know how many innocent lives could have been saved if they had acted earlier," read the NST report. The authorities confirmed months later, during the 25 May press conference that the sites were only vacated three weeks before.

2. An order to destroy the campsite was issued the day after the first campsite was found

The day after the discovery, the officer who led the raid team allegedly met the Perlis deputy police chief. NST says the order to destroy the campsite was issued after that and it was when they went back to carry out the directive that they found the first 30 graves in Wang Kelian. "Why did the Perlis police issue the order to destroy the camp a day after the General Operations Force (GOF) reported the discovery? Who issued the order? Wouldn't this be construed as tampering with evidence/crime scene?" asked NST.

3. An independent report from another police team contradicts ASP J.K.'s report. It says the assault team never reached the campsite on the night of 19 January 2015.

According to this new report, only eight men were dispatched that night and they were split into two - one was led by the GOF officer who called for backup and the other by an officer sent for the mission. They had allegedly taken different routes to the camp and the team led by the GOF officer heard the camp guards shouting, "Run! The police are here!" when nearing the campsite. It was about three to five minutes later that the team led by the special officer turned up, claiming that he was given an order to pull back.

4. More than 10 Wang Kelian locals were identified as middlemen who work closely with the human trafficking racket in Thailand and Malaysia

After the January 2015 human trafficking base camp discovery in Wang Kelian, the authorities submitted a comprehensive report on it. 12 locals were flagged for acting as middlemen who "deliver the goods" to the human traffickers. When questioned, the men admitted to working with the personnel in border security agencies to ensure that the trafficking operations go undetected and run smoothly. "Many of these agencies are highly involved in human trafficking, and this is a serious trans-border crime that cannot be eliminated by arresting illegal immigrants and deporting them. "For as long as there are authorities working hand-in-glove with these syndicates, eradicating this problem will be an uphill battle," stated the report on the Bukit Wang Burma raid, sighted by NST.

5. NST reached out to Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim with their findings, but he refused to comment.
Former IGP Khalid, on the other hand, agreed to talk about the case, but only on strict orders that it's off-the-record.

After two years of thorough investigation, the NST Special Probes Team still had so many unanswered questions about the Wang Kelian case. "WHY was the camp not immediately cordoned off and the remains exhumed?""WHAT happened to the 38 migrants taken into custody by assault team? Aren't they prime witnesses?" "WHY were they investigated for immigration offences? Were they not prime witnesses?"  "WHAT was the overwhelming justification in allowing the slaughter of scores of innocents, including women and children to continue unabated?" It took Khalid a while before he finally answered their questions. "And when he did, his voice betrayed the enormity of what he was about to tell us." Bound by journalistic code of ethics, the NST team is not able to publish or reveal Khalid's responses to the burning questions on the issue.

The identities of the human trafficking victims who died in Wang Kelian remain unknown. Read NST's full report on the case here.


Syed Saddiq: I Swear To God That I Would Be The First Person To Resign If Found Corrupt

Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman has vowed to resign if he is proven guilty of misusing his power

On Monday, 25 November, he shared a video of his speech in the Dewan Rakyat on Twitter.The minister's tweet read, "I refuse to budge when it comes to integrity. I want the Ministry of Youth and Sports to be free from bribery and embezzlement. Here is my answer in Parliament."

Image via Miera Zulyana/Malay Mail

Paya Besar and Jelebu Members of Parliament (MPs) alleged that Syed Saddiq had accepted an under-the-table deal to grant a tender to Institut Kemahiran Belia Negara (IKBN)

According to Berita Harian, they claimed that it was suspicious how the tender was granted to the three shortlisted companies out of 6,000 applicants.Paya Besar MP Mohd Shahar Abdullah asked, "Minister, I only want to ask for one commitment from you, in this honourable hall. Do these three companies not have any links to you?"

"If we find that there are accusations and proof, are you willing to resign as minister?" he added.

Syed Saddiq then replied, "Allah is my witness. If there is abuse of power, swindling and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) proves that this is abuse of power, I would be the first person to resign."

He also said that he had instructed his own officer to lodge a report with the anti-graft agency.

Syed Saddiq said that all the tenders were done via open tender system through government's 'e-Perolehan' system

He also added that the tender evaluation was done in a transparent manner by the committees appointed based on a set criteria.

Malay Mail reported that the minister repeatedly stressed that he was not involved in the process.

He then went on to say, "I can name every single tender before this that was given a grant via direct negotiations and limited tender. Projects were abandoned and tens of millions of ringgit wasted. Contracts were given to fellow allies of UMNO. I can prove it!"

His remark against UMNO caused a second round of shouting matches between MPs to erupt, but order was restored and then the meeting continued.

Chinese Undergrad Quits Office Job To Become A Cleaner — Buys 2 Houses & 2 Cars In 2 Years

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

We're often told throughout our lives that education is the most powerful weapon for our futures.
However, does that phrase always ring true?

A recent video on the Chinese blogging website, Weibo, has gone viral for a real life circumstance that's changing society's perception as to what 'success' truly looks like.Published on 16 November, the clip features a Chinese woman by the name of Liu, who shared her story of working as a cleaner after quitting her office job, which she landed after attaining her tertiary education qualifications.The most astounding part of her journey? In just a couple of years working as a cleaner, Liu has been able to purchase two houses and two cars, dispelling the myths and stereotypes often tied to custodian workers.

Liu, the Chinese woman who shared her story of going from a corporate job to a cleaner.

Explaining her decision to become a cleaner, Liu stated that it all began when her family needed money, as her son was starting school and her mother fell ill

"I decided to quit my job and work as a cleaner. I knew we needed the money for different expenditures," she said in the video. At that point, Liu held down a regular corporate job (though the role was not disclosed), and was receiving a basic salary.However, going from a fairly untaxing office job to a cleaner for houses was not something she was going to announce to people, especially those closest to her."I didn't make any online post about my job. I didn't even tell my parents or my friends," she stated.

Recollecting the time she was nervous to tell her parents about her new career, Liu stated that she had already been working as a cleaner for half a year without her parents' knowledge, feeling as though she'd be letting them down if she told them.Nonetheless, she finally mustered up the courage to inform her father about her current role. In a delightful twist, he extended his support to his daughter for her choice. "He told me, 'It doesn't mean that just because you went to university, you're required to work a certain job'. I told him that every job has its own perks."

Image via Weibo

In just two years, Liu shared that she's been able to purchase two houses and two cars under her name — showing that her hard work has not been in vain

"They aren't huge but I am happy to own them," she said in reference to her houses and cars.Furthermore, Liu said that she has no intention of stopping her current job. "I truly believe that this industry is where I want to remain in the future. I think it has many possibilities and the opportunities are endless," she explained.It has not been without her hard work and determination, though, as she recalls how she works up to 17 hours a day cleaning during peak seasons, all the way from 7am to 2am in some instances. Making sacrifices along the way, she revealed that at times, she has to eat her meals on the go as a result of her schedule, even settling for a bun pastry and water.

Image via Weibo

Keeping her spirit high through the challenges, Liu was forthright about the positive feedback she receives from her clients being the motivation and encouragement for her to continue.

In her closing thoughts, Liu stated that the service sector is always short of workers, giving those who have little qualms about working hard, an opportunity to thrive and persevere

[NEW UPDATE] Spain Train Crash: Train Driver Charged But Released Under Conditions

UPDATE: Train driver charged but released under conditions

The driver of the Spanish train which derailed on Wednesday night at high speed killing 79 people has admitted to being “distracted” shortly before the crash.

        euronews.com

He was charged with “79 counts of homicide and numerous offences of bodily harm, all committed through professional recklessness”, a court statement said. He was freed on bail though his passport has been withdrawn and he must report to police every week.

        express.co.uk

He told investigating Judge Luis Alaez that he lost track of his position and did not know where he was on the evening the accident occurred.

Police detain driver for "recklessness", he said afterwards 'he wanted to die'

Stills taken from footage from a track-side camera show the train derailing as it speeds round the bend

Image via telegraph.co.uk

Spanish police said Friday they have detained the driver of a speeding train that crashed in the nation's deadliest rail disaster in decades, accusing him of criminal recklessness.

        channelnewsasia.com

It emerged that as rescue workers pulled bodies of the dead and wounded from the wreckage, he commented: “I've f****d it up. I want to die.”

        telegraph.co.uk

The question of whether the brakes failed -- or were never used -- in the approach to Santiago de Compostela may remain open until police can question the injured driver and analyze the data on the train's just-recovered "black box."

At least 45 people are dead and 70 injured after a train crashed Wednesday evening near Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, officials said.

State-owned train operator Renfe said in a statement that 218 passengers and an unspecified number of staff were on board at the time of the accident. Renfe did not give an estimate of the numbers of dead or injured.

        cbc.ca

The Spanish government's main working hypothesis concerning the derailment of a train in the northern region of Galicia is that it was an accident, a government spokeswoman told Reuters.

Bride Walks Out Of Her Wedding After Groom-To-Be Failed To Solve Basic Maths Problem

An Indian bride has walked out of her wedding after her groom-to-be failed to solve a simple maths problem, the BBC reported.
She was testing him on his math skills. When he got the sum wrong, she walked out. The question she asked: How much is 15 + 6?

What was his reply? He said 17.

Image via tumblr.com

Reports say the groom's family tried to convince the bride to return, but she refused saying that he had misled her about his education.
According to the BBC, local police mediated between the families, and both sides returned all the gifts given before the wedding.

The incident happened in Rasulabad village, near the industrial town of Kanpur in northern Uttar Pradesh state, India. The bride's name is Lovely Singh and groom was named Ram Baran.
Speaking to a local police official, the bride's father Mohar Singh said that "just before the marriage ceremony Lovely came to know that Ram Baran is illiterate and she refused to marry him."
He told the Associated Press news agency that they were kept in the dark by the groom's family about his poor education. "Even a first grader can answer this [the maths test]."

Most marriages in India are arranged by the families, and it is common for a bride and groom to get married without spending much, or at times, any time at all in each other's company.

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Earlier in February, another bride in the same Indian state married a guest at her wedding after after her groom-to-be had a seizure and collapsed.Angry that she had not been informed of his condition, she asked a member of her brother-in-law's family to marry her instead. Caught off guard at the bride's proposal, he, however, accepted her proposal.

A Day In The Life Of A Malaysian Who Does Not Celebrate Christmas

1. Sleep in 'til it's super late in the day, because it's a public holiday and you don't have to go to work or go to school!

Image via wordpress.com

At least, until the sun's rays pokes our eyes open. Or until you need to pee or your stomach starts rumbling in hunger.

2. When you're finally fully awake, you decide to go to the shopping mall because you have nothing better to do... only to be faced with a traffic jam of epic proportions. No matter, this is a war that can yet be won!

Image via imgur.com

3. Engage in a fierce battle for limited parking spaces with countless others mall-goers... and more cars are pouring in! When will this madness end?!

Image via arleneanddennis.wordpress.com

4. Bravely plunge yourself into the jam-packed horde of people in the shopping mall of your choosing. You finally know what it feels like to be a canned sardine.

Image via imgur.com

5. Santa may not be shimmying down your chimney, but that doesn't mean you can't buy a Christmas gift for yourself. It could be something small like a box of chocolates, or you can finally get that tablet you've been wanting all year!

Image via blueridgeandrv.blogspot.com

6. Insist on taking a picture with the Christmas decorations despite the ever-growing crowd, because you are NOT going back without some photographic evidence of your festive battle win

Image via Instagram: kshiry2000

7. Spend the entire day trying to beat that one level you can never get past on Candy Crush

Image via dailymail.co.uk

8. Test your mettle with a movie marathon or by binge-watching all four seasons of Game of Thrones. Or any TV show really, because...

Image via FOX

9. Get together with like-minded friends for "Christmas dinner", because that's what Americans always do on TV, right?

10. Make a special appearance at the Christmas party your friend invited you to. Oh wait, you weren't invited? How about CRASHIN' A PAAARTAAAYYY?!

11. At the end of a superbly exciting day, take a nice, looooonnnggg bath... just because you can!

Ajaib! Gerai Beef Noodle Di Seremban Ini Langsung Tak Disentuh Api Dalam Kebakaran Besar

Pelik dan ajaib! Sebuah gerai makan terkenal di Seremban, 'Beef Noodle' langsung tidak disentuh api dalam satu kebakaran besar yang berlaku di Pasar Besar Seremban, Sabtu lalu

Image via Lance Ycc/Facebook

Menurut laporan Sin Chew Daily, kira-kira 90% gerai di aras pertama pasar tersebut musnah dijilat api kira-kira jam 7.30 petang. Namun, ajaibnya gerai 'beef noodle' dilaporkan terselamat dalam kebakaran yang memusnahkan 327 buah gerai tersebut.

Pengarah Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Negeri Norazam Khamis berkata hanya kira-kira 10 gerai di tingkat pertama dapat diselamatkan dari kebakaran

Gerai-gerai di tingkat bawah terselamat, walaupun peniaga gerai terpaksa bergantung kepada lilin sebagai sumber cahaya apabila perniagaan diteruskan pada hari Ahad, memandangkan bekalan elektrik telah terputus akibat kejadian itu.

Image via Lance Ycc/Facebook

Keesokan harinya, pemilik gerai 'beef noodle', Sin Yee Kee terkejut mendapati gerai mereka tidak disentuh api, kerana gerai-gerai di sebelah mereka telah rosak sepenuhnya dijilat api

Image via Sin Chew NS/Negeri Sembilan Events Facebook

Segala perkakas yang disimpan di dalam gerai - peralatan memasak, tangki gas, pembalut plastik, dan kepingan kertas- juga kelihatan tidak berubah dan berada dalam keadaan asal.

Image via Negeri Sembilan Events/Facebook

Menurut sebuah page di Facebook, Negeri Sembilan Events, pemilik gerai juga mendapati bahawa daging di gerai mereka  masih panas apabila mereka dibenarkan masuk ke dalam gerai selepas jam 1.00 petang

Image via Negeri Sembilan Events/Facebook

Sementara itu, selepas kebakaran dahsyat tersebut, Ketua Pemuda MCA, Datuk Chong Sin Woon mengumumkan bahawa semua 327 gerai yang terjejas oleh kebakaran akan menerima bantuan kecemasan sebanyak RM1,000 setiap satu.

Di samping itu, Chong juga berkata bahawa tempat letak kereta pasar akan digunakan sebagai tapak perniagaan sementara untuk pemilik gerai yang ingin meneruskan operasi.
