According to The Edge Markets, IKEA Southeast Asia group managing director Christian Rojkjaer said, "We are looking at a third store in Kuala Lumpur at some point in time but there’s no date to that yet.""We’re progressing with IKEA Batu Kawan, Penang. The development is ongoing and we will take a little break in Malaysia and see how it goes." Rojkjaer was quoted yesterday at the announcement of the Toppen Shopping Centre, which is expected to open next year.IKEA's Klang Valley outlets are located in Mutiara Damansara and Cheras.

According to Rojkjaer, IKEA is also looking into the possibility of opening a store in East Malaysia

Rojkjaer reportedly said, "We just launched our e-commerce in Peninsular Malaysia this year and we are also looking at how we could serve the people in Sabah and Sarawak better."Currently, the Swedish furniture maker is looking to expand the shipping of its e-commerce store to East Malaysia before they consider to have a physical store there.

IKEA continues its expansion in Johor with the development of its southern flagship shopping mall, Toppen Shopping Centre, which is expected to open in Tebrau in 2019

As reported by Free Malaysia Today, the RM900 million mall is expected to create 5,000 jobs.Rojkjaer said, "We chose Johor Bahru because we see the development that is going on, especially within Iskandar Malaysia. We are proud to be part of that development and contributor to the economy." IKEA had already invested close to RM600 million in Johor when it opened its third store last year.

[VIDEO] Konon Cakap Besar Tak Takut Sunat, Sekali Belum 'Cucuk Jarum' Lagi Dah Menangis

Bersunat merupakan salah satu perkara yang wajib dilakukan bagi semua umat Islam

Sunat dapat merujuk kepada status hukum syariat sebuah aktiviti dalam Islam yang dilakukan sehingga seseorang mendapat kebaikan (pahala), namun bila ditinggalkan rugilah seseorang Muslim itu.Musim cuti persekolahan pastinya merupakan waktu yang paling popular bagi ibu bapa membawa anak lelaki masing-masing untuk bersunat.Sama seperti video yang tular baru-baru ini apabila gelagat kanak-kanak lelaki ini mahu bersunat mencuri perhatian.

Gambar sekadar hiasan.

Action cakap tak takut sunat, tapi belum injection dah meraung

Menerusi video berkenaan, kelihatan kanak-kanak lelaki yang dikenali sebagai Aqeel itu memberitahu dia pada mulanya sangat teruja dan tidak sabar untuk bersunat.Tetapi, sangkaan itu berubah apabila Aqeel tiba-tiba merasa takut dan menangis kerana perlu disuntik.

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Datin Isma (@datinismatia)

Menggigil habis bila sampai turn untuk bersunat, takut lain macam

Walau bagaimanapun, belum sempat sampai ke pusat perubatan terbabit, Aqeel sudah mula meraung ketakutan sewaktu dalam perjalanan.Dia kemudian terpaksa ditenangkan oleh beberapa orang petugas agar semuanya berjalan dengan lancar.Kejadian itu malah telah terbawa-bawa sehingga Aqeel pulang ke rumah, sekali gus membuatkan petugas di situ mengambil kesempatan untuk mengusiknya.

Dalam pada itu, tinjauan di ruangan komen mendapati warganet turut terhibur melihat video berkenaan dan berkongsi pengalaman masing-masing

Immigration Dept Allegedly Starves Detainees After Photos Showing Frail Inmates Go Viral

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

A video and photos showing frail-looking men allegedly held at the Kimanis Detention Centre in Sabah have gone viral on Facebook this week

A Facebook user, who is believed to be from Sabah, first uploaded the video and photos in a post that received over 8,000 shares before it was taken down.The photos show six detainees in an emaciated state, with the shapes of their collar bones and rib cages pronounced and protruding, which are indications of malnutrition.In the 90-second video, a man, who calls himself Salomon and is speaking on behalf of other detainees, appeals to Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor and state immigration director Datuk SH Sitti Saleha Habib Yusof to release them.

Image via Facebook

"I have been here for close to a year. There are others who have been here for two or three years. How long will we be detained here in this centre?" says Salomon

"We are not getting enough to eat and drink. This is why our bodies are skinny.""Our bodies are also itchy. When we appeal for medicines from the immigration officers, we are ignored.""They only give attention to those who are severely ill. Those of us who just started getting infected are ignored."

A video clip and several photographs of frail-looking individuals said to be incarcerated at the Kimanis Detention Centre near here have gone viral on social media, purportedly over the poor treatment they received there. pic.twitter.com/nre3T737bF— TheVibes.com (@thevibesnews) December 8, 2022

Many comments in the post urged compassion from the authorities when treating detainees

At the time of writing, it is uncertain why the post was taken down.When The Vibes reached out to the Immigration Department for a statement, it refused to comment on the allegation.The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) has also yet to respond to the issue.The news portal reported that issues concerning the ill-treatment of Indonesian migrant detainees in several detention centres in Sabah had surfaced since last June.According to New Straits Times, the last deportation of illegal immigrants, which is the 19th series, was on 24 November, involving 124 Indonesians. They were deported from Kota Kinabalu, Papar, and Sandakan depots through the Tawau port.

A Teenager Nearly Died With Blood Sugar Level 20 Times Higher Than An Average Person

A 16-year-old teenager nearly died from an exceedingly high blood sugar level

According to QianJiang Evening News, Xiao Ying had started feeling very thirsty, drinking up to four bottles of water a day.He also felt nauseous, which led to puking, and had lost a lot of weight.A few days later, Xiao Ying collapsed and was rushed to a nearby hospital in Zhejiang province, China.

Image via NextShark

Doctors discovered that Xiao Ying's blood sugar level was 20 times higher than the average person

The teenager's blood sugar level had hit 124 mmol/L (millimoles per litre), when it should have been between 3.9 and 6.1 mmol/L.At that time, Xiao Ying's organs had started failing and his body temperature reached a high 39-degree Celcius.The doctors managed to save his life and transferred him to an intensive care unit for further observation.

Image via QianJiang Evening News

It was revealed that the cause of Xiao Ying's high blood sugar level was his poor eating habits

Xiao Ying, who weighed 100 kilograms, had consumed bubble tea, soda, barbecued and fried foods on a daily basis.The teenager's parents shared that their son usually had a good appetite and often felt hungry.

Xiao Ying was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis

Dr Azman Ibrahim Says Women Are Like "Items"

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

A PAS leader today, 7 February, suggested how "inappropriately" dressed women are like exposed "items" that are sold by the roadside

Dr Azman Ibrahim, the Terengganu Agriculture, Food Industry, Plantation, Commodity, and Rural Development Committee chairperson, took to Twitter to use an analogy to liken women to items.According to him, "packaging" determines the monetary value of "expensive items" to suggest that "inappropriately" dressed women don't have value just like exposed items that are sold by the roadside.The PAS leader was referring to a report in Sinar Harian which quoted DAP's Bentong member of parliament (MP) Young Syefura Othman urging police to carry out their duties without prejudice and sexism.Young Syefura was commenting on a recent incident at the Kajang police station, where a woman was denied entry because she was "wearing shorts". The woman was there to lodge a police report."I am urging the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) to perform their duty without prejudice, and not be sexist towards women. Those who go to a police station are those in need of help. Their attire should not be an issue. PDRM's job is to safeguard peace and security, not be the rakyat's moral police," she said.The woman was only allowed entry after she called her sister to bring her a pair of long pants.

What did Azman tweet?

"Expensive items of high value will be packaged cutely and neatly," he began his tweet in Bahasa Melayu."The method of packaging (the way an item is packaged) plays a huge role in its marketing aspect. If an item is sold exposed by the roadside, it's like a cheap counterfeit," he added.

Barang mahal bernilai tinggi akan dibungkus comel dan kemas. Kaedah pembungkusan memainkan peranan penting dalam aspek pemasaran. Kalu main jual terdedah tepi jalan, itu barang tiruan harga murah. pic.twitter.com/BZZUhUkSMU— Dr Azman Ibrahim (@Dr_AzmanIbrahim) February 6, 2023

In a follow-up tweet, Azman then went on to state that he finds it unbelievable that there are still those who believe that a person should not be judged by their appearance or the clothes they wear.

Azman's sexist stance was immediately called out by Malaysians

Several called him "stupid" despite his "doctor" tag.While others shared former inspector-general of police (IGP) Musa Hassan's views on the incident.Responding to current IGP Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani, who insisted that people must be dressed "appropriately" while visiting police stations, Musa pointed out that no one would actually go to the police station to lodge reports unless they have to because they need police assistance."It doesn't matter how one should dress. It is the duty of the police to receive reports in whatever situation."

No one would go to the police station to lodge police reports unless they have to, as they need police assistance. It is not only in cases of life and death, thus it doesn't matter how one should dress. It is the duty of the police to recieve reports in whatever situation.— Musa Hassan (@TSMusaHassan) February 4, 2023

After being called out, Azman, however, doubled down on his analogy

This time, he took to his Facebook account to share multiple proverbs to justify his tweet.

Speaking of sexism, local actress Daiyan Trisha called out people, who accused her of having a "sugar daddy":

If you're not familiar with Thai milk tea, it's a delightful drink that usually comes in a vibrant orange hue. It's creamy, decadent, and just all-round delicious and now McD has taken it to another level by turning it into ice cream!You can choose to have it in a cone on its own, mixed with vanilla ice cream, or even as a sundae with a chocolate drizzle. So sinful, but so, so good.

McD also decided to bring back a few of their salted caramel desserts but this time the McFlurry comes with a twist

You can now enjoy the Salted Caramel McFlurry with crunchy Oreo bits. Nothing can go wrong with the sweet and salty sensations of this dessert.

Meanwhile, the Salted Caramel and Chocolate Pie made a comeback. Over the past few years, we've seen it occasionally appear on the McDonald's menu. It's just warm, sweet, and salty goodness inside a flaky crust.

Don't worry if you're not big on desserts, there's still something for you!
Another new menu addition is the Spicy Lemon Chicken McDeluxe.

Mekdi's Spicy Chicken McDeluxe is a fan favourite in Malaysia but now they've released a never-before-seen version served with lemon mayo sauce.It has all the good things about the old burger - crispy chicken thigh layered with fresh greens, but the new sauce will add a tangy kick to it.

Available from 10 September onwards, you can get these items through McDelivery, drive-thru, or takeaway

McD refreshes their menu all the time so we're not sure how long these will remain available. Might as well get them while they're here and remember to practise physical distancing if you choose to go out!

24-Year-Old Woman Resumes Surfing Seconds After Giving Birth In An Internet Cafe

Earlier this week, a pregnant woman ended up giving birth in the restroom of an Internet cafe in Nanchang, China. However, instead of rushing to the hospital or ask for help from others, she went back to her computer to surf the Internet, as if nothing had happened.

According to a report by People's Daily Online, the woman was identified as Xiao Li, aged 24.Workers at the Internet cafe in Nanchang had rushed to the bathroom after hearing a baby cry, and saw a pool of blood by the door. One worker told reporters that they were worried something had happened to a child in the bathroom—but that wasn't exactly the case.Li left behind a trail of blood as she emerged from the bathroom with her baby in tow.While the workers at the cafe scrambled to the phone to call an ambulance, the new mother seemed a bit more relaxed about the whole ordeal. She returned to her seat to continue playing on the computer. Both the staff and the customers looked on in shock.

It was a cleaner who found her and the baby in the toilet stall. She refused help from the cleaner, who later told a local TV station:

The cleaner was shocked that Ms Li went back into the internet cafe while still covered in blood.

“There was a lot of blood. It totally blocked the toilet. She initially just stood there shaking and covered in blood but then she sat down and continued surfing [the internet].”

When the paramedics eventually arrived, she refused to get on the stretcher and walked to the ambulance herself. According to the woman, she ran away from home after an argument with her family and was supposed to move into her boyfriend's house. But she lost her wallet and decided to wait for her boyfriend at the cybercafe.

Her family members and boyfriend rushed to the hospital after hearing the news.

Here's Everything You Need To Know About The Smart Meters That TNB Is Rolling Out

After the success of their pilot project in Melaka a few years ago, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has been rolling out their plan to introduce the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) a.k.a the ‘Smart Meter’

Image via Utusan Online

According to New Straits Times, the initiative involves replacing all traditional meters with the Smart Meter that will "record consumption of electric energy in intervals of an hour or less and communicates the information at least daily back to the utility for monitoring and billing".Not only will this smart device allow you to monitor your electricity bills and help to minimise your carbon footprint, it will also provide you with insights on your energy usage and patterns. With this, you'll be able to identify where you are using most energy so that you can figure out how to cut down. This will help you save money in the long run!

However, Malaysians are still skeptical about the Smart Meter. Here are the top misconceptions:

Misconception #1: The Smart Meter can cause cancer and electromagnetic hypersensitivity

Image via Care2

There is no evidence that proves this. In fact, the Radio Frequency (RF) emitted by the Smart Meter is minimal and relatively low, especially when compared to other devices we use daily like smartphones, Wi-Fi, and microwaves.Here's a breakdown of their RF emissions:- Smart Meter (10 feet away): 0.1 Microwatts per square centimeter- Wi-Fi: 20 Microwatts per square centimeter- Microwave (2 inches from door): 1000 Microwatts per square centimeter- Smartphone (held up to head): 10,000 Microwatts per square centimeterYou can rest assured that the RF component of the Smart Meter has gone through and passed extensive and rigorous testing. It is also certified by governmental bodies in many countries, including here in Malaysia.This ensures that the Smart Meter complies with regulations and safety standards set and regulated by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) before being used by the public.

Misconception #2: The Smart Meter collects and stores your personal information

Image via Digital Guardian

The Smart Meter only collects and stores data on your energy consumption, meter related events, and information on power quality. No personal information will be collected and stored via the Smart Meter at all.

Misconception #3: The implementation of Smart Meter started in Melaka because there are many educated users in KL who are aware about its dangers

Image via New Straits Times

LOL really guys? Don't so mengada lah please.Melaka was chosen as the first state to start implementing the Smart Meter because it is the only state in Malaysia that is adopting the Green City Action Plan (GCAP). The Smart Meter project is in line with the Melaka State Government's vision and aspiration to achieve advanced state status. As the leader of the Smart Meter implementation in Malaysia, this initiative is truly oriented to the new Melaka slogan – 'Melaka Berwibawa. Pintar. Hijau. Bersih.'As of July 2018, approximately 30,000 Smart Meters have been successfully installed in Melaka, with plans to install 310,000 Smart Meters by end of 2018.

Misconception #4: Smart Meters interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers

Image via Verywell Health

As previously mentioned, the RF component of the Smart Meter is certified in many countries to ensure its compliance with specific regulations and safety standards set and regulated by MCMC.This means that it in no way interferes with any medical devices, including pacemakers. There is no evidence that suggests otherwise.

Misconception #5: The Smart Meter emits X-ray levels of radiation

Image via New York Post

Nope, it doesn't. The Smart Meter actually only emits non-ionizing radiation, just like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth hands-free kits.

The Smart Meter initiative is being carried out in phases, with plans for the implementation to be complete across the country, in the homes of 8.5 million consumers, by 2021

Other countries that are already using the Smart Meter include Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Sweden.

A 17-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself after her parents prohibited her from using Facebook

After being banned from logging on to social networking site Facebook, a 17-year-old killed herself, leaving a note for her family saying she could not live without the site.

The teen, Aiswarya Dahiwal, a second-year college student from Parbhani, in the Maharashtra state of India, had asked her parents for permission to log on to the site on Wednesday, but they said no.

The teenager then got into an argument with the couple who told her that she should pay more attention to school work, and spend less time on Facebook.

"Like all parents, their intentions were only to ensure that the girl did not go astray,” said investigating officer G.H. Lemgude, according to NDTV. “They advised her to concentrate on her technical studies and stay away from long mobile chats and social networking sites.”

        ibtimes.com

Police said that in the note the teenager had said that she couldn't stay in a home with the restrictions she felt she was being placed under, and that she couldn't live without Facebook.

        newsweekpakistan.com

Her father Sunil Dahiwal told India Real Time Friday: “We still can’t believe it. We are in deep shock.”

“We just wanted her to focus on her studies. We never thought she would ever take such a harsh step,” Mr. Dahiwal added.

A case of accidental death has been registered and investigation is underway, the police said.

From Gender Segregation To Restricting Stage Performances, A List Of Things Jakim Wants

Segregation of male and female audiences during concerts

Image via avicennaanswers.com

Males and females are to be segregated during concerts, according to a new set of guidelines drawn up by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim).In a section dealing with the organisation of entertainment events, Jakim said programmes should not allow "mixing (percampuran) of males and females in the audience". The guidelines were endorsed during the 107th National Fatwa Committee Meeting held on Feb 10-11 this year.

        thestar.com.my

Men and women should not mingle during practices/rehearsals

Entertainers coming to Malaysia will now have to adhere to these new rules prepared by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim), which imposes limitations on stage performances, dress and behaviour codes and gender segregation for attendees, reported the Malay Mail Online.

Jakim also wants artistes to possess "noble and good character" even outside their performances and they should not have any criminal record, whether in civil or Shariah court.
During the performance, artists must "dress decently" in attire that covers their "intimate body parts" that Muslims cover with clothing.

Concerts and stage shows in Malaysia have come under scrutiny recently after a three-minute online video showed tudung-clad Muslim fans being hugged and kissed by K-pop artistes B14A at a mini-concert at the Live Centre in Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur.

The religious authority also said that dressing, accessories and hairstyles must not resemble that of a different gender of the artiste. Cross-dressing during any performance is also banned.

For stage performances, Jakim insists that jokes told should be “sparing”, must “toe the line”, and should not lead to “extreme laughter”. Entertainers are also forbidden from making light of “serious and mournful matters”.

        themalaymailonline.com

Meanwhile, song lyrics should contain "goodness and pure values", in addition to "bringing awareness" and "leading to repentance"

The music accompanying the lyrics, on the other hand, should “motivate positive atmosphere” and “bring peace”, instead of evoking “negative emotions that contradict Islamic teachings”. The new guidelines also specify that any entertainment events must be referred to the authorities for guidance.

        themalaymailonline.com

While Jakim said the new rules would ensure that entertainment programmes were based on the Islamic faith and codes, and moral values, stakeholders of the live concerts industry say Jakim's guidelines are unrealistic and could damage the industry

Arts, Live Festival and Events Association (ALIFE) acting president Datuk Razlan Razali said he was shocked, as it would affect live performances in Malaysia if the guidelines were enforced. “This is an ad hoc and knee-jerk reaction. It’s taking us 10 steps backwards,” he said.  “They didn’t take into account the industry or stakeholders. We were not consulted or involved in any way.”Razlan said more clarity was needed and he wanted an explanation.  “We are not sure what the action or penalties will be,” he said. “What is the objective of crowd segregation? Does this mean there will soon be segregation at any gathering including weddings? This is not the vision of the country or the PM.”Razlan, who is attending Irish pop-rock band The Script’s concert today with his wife and child, questioned whether this meant he would have to sit apart from them. He challenged Jakim to enforce the guidelines at the concert.

        themalaymailonline.com

"I wouldn't go to a concert if I had to be separated from my wife. A concert is a shared experience," Malaysian Association of Creative Artistes president Datuk Freddie Fernandez said

He said the revision of the guidelines by Jakim was a knee-jerk reaction following the incident of fans hugging a Korean artiste.“I don’t think if a boy and a girl go to a concert, it will damage their morals. I don’t think the girls who hugged the Korean artiste had their morals damaged. As long as the acts are clean, the lyrics are fine, I don’t see how concerts can be a negative influence,” he said.

        themalaymailonline.com

Fernandez also said if Jakim's guidelines were implemented, it would damage not only the entertainment industry, but also the tourism industry, Malay Mail Online reported

“Tourism is an important sector in terms of the economy. Concerts are a big source of attracting tourists and creating a friendly image of Malaysia,” he said. “We respect Jakim’s right to make these rules, but we have to take into account the multiracial nature of this country.”

        themalaymailonline.com

Meanwhile, netizens took to Twitter to voice against the guidelines:

This is how erosion of human rights begins, with petty nonsense "Jakim wants male &female segregated during concerts" http://t.co/BrNB3EpH4X— Azira (@ladymissazira) April 19, 2015

JAKIM & PAS is doing an excellent job consistently churning out non-issues that doesn't actually solve real issues such as crime rate, etc.— Azira (@ladymissazira) April 19, 2015

Performers cannot joke to incite excessive laughter, says Jakim. Sokay, we have politicians & preachers to do that for the longest time.— Jahabar Sadiq (@jsadiq) April 18, 2015

“Sila Duduk Dan Jangan Lari” Dan 3 Lagi Jenaka YDPA Yang Mencuit Hati Rakyat Jelata

Hari ini, 17 Julai, Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Muhammad V berkenan telah merasmikan Istiadat Pembukaan Mesyuarat Penggal Pertama Parlimen Ke-14  di Dataran Parlimen

Image via Malaysia Dateline

Sewaktu acara perasmian itu, Yang di-Pertuan Agong secara berseloroh telah menitahkan supaya semua Ahli Parlimen duduk dan tidak lari sebelum memulakan titah pada Istiadat Pembukaan Mesyuarat Penggal Pertama Parlimen Ke-14 di Dewan Rakyat sekali gus telah menceriakan suasana pagi pembukaan persidangan tersebut.“Ahli Yang Berhormat, sila duduk dan jangan lari,” titah baginda sambil tersenyum.

Image via Tular

Dalam titah baginda selepas itu, Seri Paduka mahu supaya Ahli Parlimen yang dipilih menggalas tugas-tugas dan titipan amanah yang diberikan dengan jujur serta penuh dedikasi.Katanya, pemilihan berkenaan adalah satu tanggungjawab yang besar yang harus dipikul dengan penuh wibawa oleh itu, baginda percaya Ahli Parlimen akan mengambil bahagian dalam perbahasan yang sihat, matang dan dapat merangsang dinamik berfikir."Bukan untuk mencari pihak yang benar tetapi untuk menemukan apa yang baik lagi benar, memberi cadangan, teguran dengan penuh berhemah dan bijaksana, penuh kesopanan bertatasusila, supaya institusi Parlimen terus dihormati, dipandang tinggi oleh rakyat serta dunia luar," titahnya dalam ucapan.

×

Adalah dipercayai bahawa baginda merujuk titah berkenaan kepada insiden menjelang upacara mengangkat sumpah di Dewan Rakyat semalam, 16 Julai

Telah berlaku satu kekecohan di Dewan Rakyat berikutan bantahan daripada ahli-ahli Parlimen pembangkang dari UMNO dan PAS terhadap perlantikan bekas hakim Mahkamah Rayuan Datuk Mohamad Ariff Md Yunos sebagai Speaker Dewan Rakyat.

Mohamad Ariff dilantik Speaker Dewan Rakyat

Kesemua ahli pembangkang itu tidak berpuas hati dengan pelantikan tersebut, mendakwa pelantikan Speaker adalah tidak mengikut 'Point of Order' atau Peraturan 4(1) Parlimen.Semua wakil BN dan PAS, kecuali Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar dan Datuk Seri Anifah Aman bertindak meninggalkan dewan sebagai tanpa memprotes cara pelantikan Speaker.Mereka mendakwa pelantikan Mohamad Ariff tidak mengikut peraturan yang ditetapkan namun begitu semua Ahli Parlimen terbabit masuk semula untuk mengangkat sumpah di depan Mohamad Ariff.

YDPA selama ini memang dikenali sebagai seorang yang rendah diri dan berjiwa rakyat.
Baginda juga memang terkenal dengan sifat baginda yang tidak mementingkan protokol.

Image via Sarawak Voice

Berikut antara beberapa seloroh baginda yang telah mencuit hati rakyat:

1. YDP Agong kecek kelate ketika bertitah

×

2. YDP Agong minta izin minum air sekejap sewaktu bertitah

×

3. "Ketuk meja ke?"

Tidak hairanlah jika baginda menjadi seorang pemerintah yang dikasihi dan disegani seluruh rakyat Malaysia. Daulat Tuanku!

There Is An Unspoken Loophole Sacrificing Our Protected Forests For Rubber Plantations

By now you should know that Malaysia has one of the world's highest deforestation rate

Image via amazonaws.com

Malaysia is one of three countries in the world which had the highest national rates of deforestation, according to a new Google Earth mapping.

        malaysiakini.com

In September, 3,000ha of the Lesong Permanent Forest Reserve was logged to make way for commercial timber plantations

Image via says.com

Covering 80% of Malaysia's remaining forest cover are Permanent Forest Reserves (PFR) which are forest areas set aside for selective and sustainable logging

Image via amazonaws.com

Much of the remaining forests in Peninsular Malaysia are retained within Permanent Reserved Forests (PRFs).

        esajournals.org

Permanent Reserved Forests form the bulk of the forest cover of Peninsular Malaysia, at 4,815,529ha or 36.5% of the land area. As the name indicates, these are forests to be kept in perpetuity. Yes, they are largely “timber production forest” meant for logging but under sustainable forestry management, they are supposed to be “selectively logged” – this means only big trees of stipulated sizes are cut while smaller trees are left behind to mature, to be logged 30 years down the road.

        thestar.com.my

However, a little-known loophole legalises the conversion of PFRs into monoculture rubber plantations

This loophole is allowing large expanses of natural forest on the peninsula (including those that are already being selectively logged) to be legally replaced by monocultures, such as latex-timber clones, commonly referred to as “rub- berwood”.

        esajournals.org

Image via The Star

This alarming new trend appears to be widespread in Kelantan but forest reserves in Selangor and Johor have not been spared. The Star recently reported on the decimation of the Sungai Jelok forest reserve in Selangor and the Sungai Mas forest in Johor for rubber estates, while the Johor State Assembly has heard that 37,881ha of Terosot forest reserve will suffer the same fate.

        kenviro.com

Rubberwood plantations are now expanding dramatically. From 2006 to 2007, the total area of Malaysian PRFs designated for rubberwood leapt from 1626 to 17443 ha – a nearly 11-fold increase.

        esajournals.org

The key problem is that the Forestry Act  has a broad and ambiguous definition of "forest", it does not specifically say PFRs has to consist entirely of natural forest

A key problem, however, is that the Forestry Act does not stipulate the need for PRFs to consist entirely of natural forest, an ambiguty worsened by an overly broad definition of “forest” adopted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.

        esajournals.org

“PRF are classed as Environmentally Sensitive Areas Rank Two in the National Physical Plan whereby no development or agriculture is allowed. So all latex timber clone projects in forest reserves should not have been approved,” he says. “But what we are seeing today is wholesale clearing of PRF and massive conversion to plantations,” says Worldwide Fund for Nature Malaysia (WWF) chief technical officer Surin Suksuwan.

        thestar.com.my

This means that natural forests can be legally cleared and replanted with rubber trees as long as they provide "sustained yield"

“Under the Act, most PRF are classified as ‘timber production forest’ under ‘sustained yield’. This can be interpreted to mean that a forest that is clear-felled and then replanted with rubber trees, will provide ‘sustained yield’, thereby justifying the conversion into plantations,”  forestry researcher Lim Teck Wyn.

        thestar.com.my

Rubber plantations are highly valued for both its latex and timber that contributes to 80% of the wood supplied to the local furniture industry

Image via adalidda.com

Around 80% of the wood supplied to the local furniture industry in Peninsular Malaysia now comprises rubberwood, and investor interest in these clones is expected to rise in response to government tax incentives.

        esajournals.org

In 2013, the rubber industry contributed to RM33.73 billion in national exports
Image via Malaysian Rubber Board

But it's not just rubber plantations, PFRs are also being converted into oil palm plantations, African mahogany, teak, among others

Image via etawau.com

The threat is not only from rubber clone plantations. Despite governmental assurances that oil palms will only be cultivated on idle or degraded land, EIA reports show that estates will come up in these forest reserves in Kelantan: Batu Papan (2,000ha), Gunung Setong Selatan and Balah (4,307ha), Sungai Betis (2,626ha), Sungai Terah and Limau Kasturi (3,513ha), as well as Sokor Taku and Sungai Sator (808ha). In Pahang, 2,142ha of Cereh forest reserve near Kuantan will be planted with oil palm.

Permanent forest reserves are also being converted for other types of plantations, including African mahogany, teak, Acacia, sentang, kelempayang, batai, and binuang, although latex-timber clones (LTC) is "favored."

This development is driven by the government's target of 375,000ha of tree farms by 2020

The development is driven by the government's effort to expand timber plantations across the country and has been facilitated by a system which classifies single-species monocultures as forests.

The Malaysian government has established a target of 375 000 ha of timber plantations for the year 2020.

Single-species tree farms will have devastating effects on the forest's ecology, biodiversity, and more

Environmental consultant Dr Sanath Kumaran points out that monoculture or single-species plantations come with a host of problems: clear-felling to harvest the logs will lead to soil erosion, susceptibility to fires, and low biodiversity.

        thestar.com.my

When natural forests give way to single-species tree farms, the forest’s ecology will begin to unravel. “Clear-felling natural forests and planting rubber trees inside forest reserves will impact many species that rely on these forests, many of which have endemic species,” says forestry researcher Lim Teck Wyn.

PFRs are crucial for the survival of tigers as they are within tiger protection areas. The national animal is now critically endangered with only 340 Malayan tigers left in the peninsular.

“The loss of these forest reserves will mean failure of the Central Forest Spine plan,” says one wildlife official. Loss of these forests will also damper tiger conservation efforts for these PRF are all within the three tiger refuges identified in the National Tiger Action Plan as crucial for the survival of the big cat. “All the forest reserves are important tiger habitats and likely to be important for other wildlife as well,” says WWF’s Suksuwan.

        thestar.com.my

Areas currently slated for conversion in Peninsular Malaysia include those identified as important habitats and key ecological corridors for species such as the Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris jacksoni). Apart from diminishing forest biodiversity, the expansion of plantation mono- cultures may lead to losses of impor- tant ecosystem services and in- creased human–wildlife conflict.

"Our PFRs are being pecked away like a piece of bread thrown to a flock of chickens." The future of Malaysia's remaining natural forest cover is bleak if this continues unabated.

A large proportion of Malaysia’s remaining natural forest cover could be transformed into rubberwood if present trends continue unabated.

        esajournals.org

“Our PRF are being pecked away like a piece of bread thrown to a flock of chickens,” says one forestry consultant. “Forests are logged until degraded and not allowed to regenerate, thus providing the excuse to convert them into rubber plantations. This pattern has been going on. It is a convenient way to legitimise the act of clear-cutting natural forests, and turning PRF into forest plantations.”

        thestar.com.my

Single-species tree farms are not natural forests. Ironically, these forest plantations are still labelled as PFRs. This is dangerous as Forest Department figures will not record a decline in forest cover.

The irony is that these forest plantations are still categorised as PRF, although being planted with a single tree species, they are nothing like natural forests. This labelling has severe repercussion: Forestry Department figures will not show a decline in forest cover despite massive tracts of natural forest being turned into neatly planted rows of rubber saplings.

        thestar.com.my

Also, the converted area is not degazetted and replaced with a similar-sized tract of forest, as legally required when alienating PRF for agriculture or development. What this means in the long term is further shrinkages of our natural forest cover but on paper, all looks well as PRF figures remain unchanged.

Gaza Strip Refugee Camp And Hospital Hit By Missiles, Killing Several Kids Playing Outside

As a brief cease-fire this weekend revealed the extent to which Gaza's infrastructure has been damaged, Muhammed Abu Halima, a U.N. aid worker who works at a Gaza school that has been converted into a shelter, said:

Image via buzzfed.com

“There is damage to every part of civilian infrastructure imaginable. Water, electricity, food, shelter, everything will need aid. It will take years for Gaza to recover.”

        buzzfeed.com

But on Monday, missiles struck several sites in Gaza, including a park inside a refugee camp and an outpatient building of the strip's largest hospital, disrupting a relative lull at the start of the Muslim Eid al-Fitr holiday

Image via @Farah_Gazan  via Twitter

Eight people, including seven children, died following missile fire on a park inside the Shati refugee camp on the edge of Gaza City, medics said. The children were playing on a swing when the strike hit the park, Ayman Sahabani, the head of the emergency room at Shifa hospital, told reporters.

        telegraph.co.uk

According to Al Jazeera, 35-year-old Munzer al-Derby, who witnessed the strike, said: "The kids were playing on the wheel... A rocket fell and cut them apart"

Image via @Tweet_Palestine  via Twitter

"I know some of them. They were from Al-Helou family who left their homes in Shujayea (east Gaza city, where massive artillery fire destroyed neighbourhoods). They came here and rented an apartment last week," al-Derby said.

        aljazeera.com

The Israeli army swiftly denied it was behind the strike, tweeting that a misfired rocket from Gaza had hit the playground. Basically suggesting that it was Hamas.

"We had no activity in the area. We know it was launched from within Gaza and landed short," Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner, an Israeli army spokesman, said.

        globalnews.ca

However, Hamas denied it had fired any rockets in the area and said it was "categorically an airstrike by Israel". It said it had collected schrapnel from the scene that it could prove was from an Israeli munition.

        aljazeera.com

Medics said that an Israeli missile also hit a building, believed to be an outpatient clinic, close to the main gate of Shifa hospital, the same hospital where the victims of the playground strike were taken. Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab, reporting from the hospital, said there were chaotic scenes as "a number of small bodies were brought into this hospital".

        telegraph.co.uk

"It's believed that because it's been relatively calm, many of these children went outside to enjoy themselves on this Eid holiday but tragically they've been killed"

Image via @PopMathobela  via Twitter

At least another five Palestinians, including three children, were killed in other attacks on Monday. A four-year-old boy died when tank shells hit his family's house in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, Gaza health officials said. Another person was killed by tank shelling in a separate incident, also in Jabalia.

        aljazeera.com

Monday's violence followed an almost 12-hour pause in fighting and came as international efforts intensified to end the three-week war between Israel and Hamas

Image via globalnews.ca

The United Nations on Monday called for an "immediate" ceasefire in the fighting that has already killed more than 1,040 Palestinians, 43 Israeli soldiers and three civilians on the Israeli side. But Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, warned Israelis later that evening to "be prepared for a lengthy campaign" after four soldiers were killed in a mortar attack at Eshkol in southern Israel.

        globalnews.ca

"Israeli citizens cannot live with the threat from rockets and from death tunnels - death from above and from below," Netanyahu said in a speech broadcast live, soon after the news of the shelling of the Eshkol region that also reportedly wounded at least 12 people. The military said at least a dozen rockets had been fired from Gaza at Israel since midnight

        aljazeera.com

And as Muslims began celebrating Eid al-Fitr, there was fear and mourning on Monday instead of holiday cheer in large parts of Gaza

Image via wp.com

Palestinian families huddled inside their homes, fearing more airstrikes, while those who came to a cemetery in Gaza City's Sheik Radwan neighbourhood to pay traditional respects at their ancestors' graves gathered around a large crater from an airstrike a week ago that had broken up several graves. Amid an eerie calm, the call to Eid prayer echoed in the southern town of Rafah on Monday morning. Dozens of worshippers lined the rows of a severely destroyed mosque, with a collapsed roof and missing walls. Many of the faithful looked sombre during the traditional holiday sermon.

        telegraph.co.uk

In Gaza City, dozens of men prayed in the courtyard of a UN school surrounded by school desks. Children and women stood on a higher level overlooking the worshippers. "We are suffering and will suffer but we need our rights, our houses, our lands and our farms to return to us and we will not accept living a miserable life," said Abu Saber Jalees, who fled fighting to seek shelter at the school.

        aljazeera.com

Meanwhile, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday demanded that Israel and Hamas end the violence "in the name of humanity"

He accused both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal of being "morally wrong" for allowing the civilian deaths. He said "Gaza is in critical condition" after the bombardment by Israeli forces that has killed hundreds of residents and raised "serious questions about proportionality".

        telegraph.co.uk

The war, now in its 21st day, has killed more than 1,030 Palestinians, mainly civilians, according to the Palestinian health ministry. More than 220 children have reportedly died. Israel has lost 43 soldiers, as well as two Israeli civilians and a Thai worker killed by rocket and mortar attacks from Gaza, according to the Israeli military.

        globalnews.ca

While the vast majority of Gaza already suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (according to doctors who have worked there), the latest round of fighting will only further add to the trauma

Image via buzzfed.com

Mental health experts say PTSD particularly affects Gaza’s children. With over 40 percent of the population under the age of 15, hundreds of thousands of children are currently living with PTSD. After Israel’s last offensive in 2012, the PTSD rate among children in Gaza doubled, according to the United Nation’s agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). “Doctors are still working with children who were traumatized in 2012, and those who were traumatized in the 2008 war. Now everything is being brought back again, the bombings, the airstrikes, the insecurity,” said Farid Zahalka, a doctor who works with the U.N. “It is trauma upon trauma.”

        buzzfeed.com

"Children can't understand what is happening to them. They just feel afraid, they feel terrified. And we don't know if the future Gaza will have the feeling of stability and security to help them recover from these fears."

Shampoo 'Girl' And 'Masseuse' Get Banned By Censorship Board

As part of its efforts to rise above competition, U Mobile launched a campaign by highlighting their offers: free Internet, free credit and free video streaming

As part of its efforts to rise above competition, UMobile launched a campaign by highlighting their offers: free Internet, free credit and free video streaming
Image via UMobile

U Mobile launched their campaign in order to differentiate offers that will set them apart. The offers include: free non-stop video streaming (YouTube & Tonton), free Internet for a whole year (when you switch) and free Credit when you get your friends to join you on U Mobile. In conjunction with these great offers, they’ve also set a target of getting 2 million new customers by 31 December 2014.

All for free? Really? To some, those offers may provoke skepticism and raise some eyebrows. To counter this, U Mobile wanted to affirm people that they mean what they say by using a tagline called #ConfirmSure.

To allay those claims, UMobile wanted to affirm that they mean what they say by using #ConfirmSure as a tagline.

Billboards, newspaper ads and online materials were rolled out. They also shot three #ConfirmSure TV commercials for each promotion. The first one was shot in a pasar malam.

The second and third commercials took place in other local settings: a hair salon and a foot reflexology shop

"The TVC takes place in very local settings; at a hair salon, foot reflexology and a night market (Pasar Malam). We portrayed a stereotype of hard-sell salesperson by creating a character and dressed him up like a woman to add to the unbelievability and humour of the spot," explained the creative agency.

In the hair salon advertisement, the shampoo 'girl' proceeds to give the customer a special shampoo that doesn't only make the hair smooth

Similarly, in the foot reflexology commercial, we see a man cross-dressing as a woman, trying to offer free massage oil to the customer

On 11 October 2014, a post by Dafi on Facebook stated that two of the TVCs in which he starred in were banned

Dafi, the celebrity in the TVC is a also a minister's son.

Comparing between the pasar malam video that was approved and the two that were banned, the activities that took place in the massage parlour and hair salon could have been the biggest contributors to it being banned

Censorship in Malaysia is regulated by the Malaysian censorship board. Acts such as kissing on screen, nudity and graphic violence are banned on local free-to-air television.

In other aspects, kissing onscreen on local television networks, whether free-to-air or pay television is prohibited, as are homosexuality, nudity and extremely graphic violence. As well, profanity is also muted, whether on both free-to-air or pay television. For a short time in the early 2000s, images of pigs on terrestrial TV were also censored, although images of pigs are now apparently allowed, and there was no such censorship on satellite/cable TV. Although contractually, satellite networks cannot be censored in the country, Astro has censored news footage that is critical of the ruling government. It is the network's duty to ensure that the feed provided to cable and satellite providers in the country is free of all banned content. Therefore, the Malaysian feed of most channels is often the one meant for conservative areas, i.e. Taiwan and Indonesia.

About a year ago, there was controversy surrounding a ruling in Kelantan where female non-muslim hairstylists were banned from giving haircuts of male customers

Hair salon operators in the PAS-ruled state were being fined by the state government for breaching municipal council by-laws which prohibit a woman from cutting the hair of a man and vice versa.

"It is a known fact that hair salons and unisex establishments are the most convenient places for immoral activities," PAS asst. secretary-general said. The official further claimed, "They provide a cover for men and women to engage in illicit activities."

Kenapa Rakyat US Tergamak Pilih Trump? Ini Dia 8 Sebab Yang Boleh Kita Pelajari

Sejarah baru dunia kini tercipta apabila calon dari parti republikan, Donald Trump diumumkan sebagai presiden baru Amerika Syarikat, semalam

Kemenangan menjadi milik Trump apabila mendapat undi electoral sebanyak 276 berbanding Clinton yang hanya mendapat 218 undi. 270 undi diperlukan untuk memenangi pilihanraya tersebut.

Image via Google

Berbekalkan pendekatan populis, akhirnya beliau berjaya muncul sebagai presiden ke-45 negara itu.Trump juga telah membuat kejutan apabila berjaya memenangi kawasan-kawasan penting di negara itu seperti Florida, North Carolina dan Ohio.

Image via Telegraph

Mungkin ramai yang tertanya-tanya, mengapakah rakyat negara itu memilih Trumph sebagai presiden baru mereka. Walhal, Clinton mendapat banyak sokongan dari golongan elit termasuk artis.

Baca 8 sebab ini yang telah dikongsi seorang pengguna Facebook, Irwan Dahnil pagi tadi:

Aku bangun pagi, hampir semua group Whatsapp sembang pasal Trump menang jadi Presiden US. Haha.. Terhibur aku. Cerita harga minyak naik minggu lepas, luput dari ingatan.Kawan opis aku John, asal dari Tennessee US. Memang mengundi sejak zaman Bush sampai Obama.Untuk orang yang buta politik macam aku, saja gatal tanya dia. Seronok tak Trump menang? Sebab dia sokong Hillary, John geleng kepala. Haha.. Seronok juga dengar apa dia cakap tentang negara sendiri. Kenapa orang Amerika tergamak pilih Trumph.

        facebook.com

1. Sokongan golongan baby boomers

Golongan baby boomers, orang yang lahir selepas perang dunia, adalah golongan paling ramai di US sekarang. Pro kulit putih, white supremacy. Dia rasa negara dia sudah diambil orang orang lain. Plot cerita dia sama macam Brexit juga, bila orang putih UK menyampah dengan imigran yang masuk melambak.

        facebook.com

Image via www.hellomagazine.com

2. Bukan semua orang US ada skill

Orang Amerika biasa-biasa ini bukan semua ada skill. Tidak kompetitive dalam mencari kerja. Kau kan tau, orang Amerika bukan rajin sangat. Kerja sikit tapi mahu gaji besar. Masih perasan dia bangsa hebat, mendahului semua bangsa lain.

        facebook.com

3. Faktor imigran

So bila imigran datang, semua kerja beralih tangan. Imigran yang sanggup kerja susah tapi otak lebih geliga.

        facebook.com

Image via la.indymedia.org

4. Wujud industri baru

Imigran yang masuk beri jalan banyak industri baru untuk wujud. Kalau tiada mereka, industri boleh tutup. Silicon Valley contohnya, kerja orang-orang pandai. Orang ini ramai dari Asia, China, India. Orang Malaysia toksah cakaplah. Pandai dan beriman. Ramai je orang Malaysia di US tu.

        facebook.com

5. Terasa tertinggal dalam negara sendiri

Lama-lama orang US terasa tertinggal dalam negara sendiri. Mahu kejar tidak larat. Skill tidak cukup kuat, ilmu tidak setinggi mana. Tapi masih nak sembang hebat.

        facebook.com

Image via www.sbnation.com

6. Tahun 80an - 90an

John cakap tahun 80an-90an memang zaman yang paling gemilang. Lebih lagi orang kerja bank atau teknologi. Itu memang zaman US hebat. Michael Jackson dan Hollywood memang dasyat.

        facebook.com

7. Slogan 'Making America Great Again'

Tapi sekarang, Amerika sudah suam-suam kuku. Kalah dengan banyak negara. Kalau buang semua imigran, Silicon Valley dan pejabat Google pun boleh tutup sama. Kerana itu slogan 'Making America Great Again' buat orang US semangat membara.

        facebook.com

Image via www.ammoland.com

8. Sembang power

Jadi mereka pilih Trump. Sebab dia jenis sembang power walau buat belum tentu. Nampak seorang yang berani walau cakap semua benda bikin kontroversi, Anti muslim, rasis, sexist. Jadi rakyat mengharap ahli politik memajukan US semula. Tapi US kena terima hakikat.Kalau bangsa dia terlalu rasa selesa dengan kehebatan lampau , ada masanya akan turun. Kalau dia rasa masih hebat, superior, suka hidup bertongkat, kedaulatan bangsa kononnya, itu mungkin tidak kekal lama.

        facebook.com

Menurut Irwan, ini adalah pengajaran buat kita semua. Negara kita memerlukan orang yang pandai dan rajin bekerja.

Sentap sikit. Pengajaran untuk kita juga.Kena isi negara kita dengan orang otak pandai dan rajin bekerja. Kalau kosong, orang lain akan masuk. Dunia sekarang sangat terbuka. Zaman dulu kalau kau kerja luar negara, memang kira hebat. Tapi sekarang itu sudah biasa.Bising macam mana pun, Trump sudah terpilih jadi Presiden. Pandailah dia nak uruskan US. Belum pun jadi apa-apa. Kalau esok kita tak dapat masuk negara dia, ada 194 negara lagi kita boleh pergi. Kalau dia banned Muslim bagus juga, beramai kita tukar ke Mekah atau Madinah. Paling lama Trump memerintah pun cuma 8 tahun. Di Malaysia lagi hebat, boleh memerintah selagi ada orang pangkah..Aku hangguk je apa John cakap.
