Arriving In Bali: 9 Helpful Tips To Know, Like Which Taxis You Can Count On

1. Join the queue nearest to the one for Indonesians

Image via Indo Surf Life

Since Bali is such a popular tourist destination, the immigration queue in Ngurah Rai International Airport is really long almost all year round. To get through it faster, head to the 'Foreigners' queue nearest to the one for Indonesians as it's usually shorter than the ones on the right. Ignore the signs that say you need to present an Immigration Entry Form as this no longer applies to tourists after April 2015. Malaysians also don't require a visa to visit Bali, so you can skip the Visa-on-Arrival counters too.

2. Fill in the Customs Declaration Form while you're in the customs queue

You read that right - fill in the forms while you're queuing. If the queue at the immigration counters is long, then you can expect the customs one to be the same too. You can definitely complete the form before your turn. There are two forms available: English and Bahasa Indonesia. You don't necessarily have to submit the English one as both forms can be used by all tourists.

3. If you need a local sim card, DO NOT buy it from the telco counter at the airport

The cheapest prepaid sim card package you can get at the airport is probably 8GB data for IDR350,000 (about RM109.45). You can easily get one that gives you 5GB for IDR150,000 (about RM46.91) at any telephone shop near your hotel.

4. Ask your hotel to recommend or arrange an airport pickup service for you

Like most popular destinations around the world, there's bound to be taxi touts waiting for tourists at the airport in Bali. It's better for you to arrange for an airport pickup service with the hotel you're staying in, which is cheaper and safer than trying to bargain with the taxi drivers at the airport. Your designated driver will be waiting for you at the Arrival Hall with your name printed on card.You can use the taxi rates listed in the airport's website as a guide to estimate the fare needed to get to your hotel. For reference: a car for two to Kuta area will cost you between IDR70,000-80,000* (around RM21.95-25.08).*As of September 2017.

5. Or get a cab from the Bali Airport Taxi counter

The Bali Airport Taxi counter is located outside the Arrival Hall. This is not the same as the Ground Transfer Service that you see after clearing immigration and customs (this is for private cars).Follow the sign that says "Airport Taxi" till you reach the outside of the Arrival Hall - you should see the counter right in front of you. The staff will hand you a piece of paper with the taxi rate stated, a taxi driver will then lead you to the car. You only need to pay the driver at the end of the journey.

6. Be extra careful if you're planning to use Grab or Uber to get around

Image via Nikkei Asian Reviews

Both ride hailing apps are banned in most areas in Bali, especially Seminyak and Ubud. It's not just the taxi drivers, but restaurant and hotel operators are also against it. They might even stop a driver from driving into the hotel to pick you up.

7. Blue Bird Group's taxis are the most reliable ones on the island

Image via Indonesian Industry

Blue Bird Group is well known for two good reasons: The cars are in great condition.The drivers use the meter. You can recognise them from their signature blue colour and logo with a blue bird on it. However, lately there are a few taxi companies that copied them to get more customers. Just make sure your taxi has the "Blue Bird Group" name and logo on the windshield.

8. Bring a sarong if you plan to go temple-visiting

Image via IC Bali

Both men and women will need to wear a sarong that covers their knees when entering temples or any holy place. Most of the temples provide free sarongs that you can rent for a few hours, however, do note that supply may be low during peak season. So it'll be great to bring one from home if you have any.

9. Always get your rupiah from authorised money changers

Image via Hotels

Many money changers will advertise their exchange rates on whiteboards placed outside their shops. The rates may look very attractive, but not all of them are from authorised money changers. Non-authorised money changers will usually charge you a hefty "commission" on top of the rates advertised. There were also reports of rigged calculators being used in these shops. To avoid this, look out for known companies such as Money Exchange, Dirgahayu Valuta Prima, and BMC. Remember to always use your calculator and request for a receipt.

And that's it! Now you're ready to enjoy that hard-earned holiday in Bali :)

3 Police Officers Killed As Suicide Bombers Strike Jakarta Just Days Before Ramadan

Last night, 24 May, two suicide bombers blew themselves up at Jakarta's Kampung Melayu Terminal, one of Jakarta's busiest transit hubs. In the blasts — that went off five minutes apart — three police officers were killed and at least 10 other people were injured.

While initially, it was reported that there was one suicide bomber, National Police spokesman Setyo Wasisto said that examination of the scene had shown that there have been two suicide bombers

"I have to convey my deepest condolences because three police officers died," Wasisto was quoted as saying by The Star Online, who added that five other police officers and five civilians were injured during the attack carried out by two men.

On what kind of bombs were used, Wasisto said the bombers filled pressure cookers with explosive materials, nails and buckshots

"Based on the crime scene investigation, two of the perpetrators carried the pressure cooker bombs in their carrier bags. We found [pieces of] nails and buckshots in the pressure cooker," The Jakarta Post reported Wasisto as saying.

Who were the suicide bombers?

The two suspects had ties to militants in Poso, Central Sulawesi.According to The Straits Times, a police source identified the first suspect as Solihin, an administrative staff at the Darul Anshor, an Islamic boarding school in Poso, and the other as Ichwan Nurul Salam, a 34-year-old man from Bandung, West Java.Counter-terrorism investigators, on the other hand, are trying to establish if the two suspects were also linked to the remnants of the East Indonesia Mujahideen (MIT) militant group which operates out of Poso, reported The Straits Times.

Last night's bombing followed a similar pattern of attack by domestic militants targeting local police officers in Indonesia. As there had been a large police presence at the bus station for a parade, part of the city's activities leading up to Ramadan.

Meanwhile, PM Najib Razak has condemned the bombings

"I am disgusted by last night's attack in Jakarta. Malaysians stand with the Indonesian people at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones of those affected. Even as the terrorists try to intimidate us, we must not fear them."Each atrocity must harden our resolve. Now more than ever is the time to be united, even as violent extremism seeks to divide us."

This Uncle Is Selling His Michelin-Starred Chicken Rice Recipe For RM6.1 Million

It was just two months ago that Singaporean chef, Chan Hon Meng made history when his chicken rice stall became one of the first two street vendors in the world to receive a Michelin star

Singapore's Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodle and Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle was awarded with a Michelin star each on 21 July. It greatly increased the restaurants' popularity and sales with tonnes of tourists and locals crowding the stalls to get a taste of the Michelin-starred chicken rice and pork noodle. What is a Michelin star and why is it a big deal?Michelin stars are regarded by the culinary world as the hallmark of exceptional and exquisite food quality. While many liken the French rating system to that of the Oscars of the entertainment industry, the international director of the Michelin guides, Michael Ellis says otherwise. In an article by Vanity Fair, Ellis explained that it is very unlike the Oscars and is not awarded to the chef but instead is more of an opinion and recognition that comes with a great deal of pressure. The stars are awarded by anonymous Michelin inspectors and has the potential to completely overturn a restaurants profits and popularity. Chan revealed that his business has been thriving ever since he was awarded with the Michelin star, with him selling about 180 chickens per day - that's 30 more than before he got the award. Touted as the cheapest Michelin-starred meal in the world, a plate of Chan's soya sauce chicken rice only costs SGD2 (RM6.03).

With his newfound flashing success and popularity, the 51-year-old recently revealed of his plans to sell his secret recipe for a whopping SGD2 million (RM6.1 million)

Chan said that in just a span of two months from when he was awarded the prestigious Michelin star on 21 July, he has received five offers to buy his recipe. As of now, the hawker stall at the Chinatown Food Complex is the only outlet of Chan's famous soya sauce chicken rice. The hardworking chef told Singapore's English daily, Straits Times more about the companies that are interested in his chicken rice stall. Three of them are involved in the food and beverage industry and one of the three is apparently Tim Ho Wan, a Michelin-starred Hong Kong dim sum restaurant chain. The other one is said to be in the hotel industry and Chan did not reveal the identity of the fifth interested party.

However, Chan is only looking to expand his business, not completely sell it off and is determined to be an active partner even after selling the recipe.
He has set three specific criteria that a potential must fulfill in order for the deal to go through.

Image via The Straits Times

"I'm not just selling the recipe! In the end, it's the chef that holds the value, not the recipe. If they only have the recipe, it's useless. "I won't simply sell my recipe to anyone that offers that amount of money. If there is a worthy business partner that meets my conditions, I would work with them," said Chan, as reported by Channel News Asia yesterday, 19 September. Here are the three conditions:1) Firstly, Chan is seeking for at least SGD2 million as a "guaranteed cooperation fee" for his recipe and cooking expertise. 2) Next, the future partner must have all the needed resources to expand the business worldwide. 3) Lastly, an assurance that the quality and taste of his soya sauce chicken rice remains exactly the same in all the other outlets.

According to Straits Times, Chan is currently seriously considering one of the five companies that he's currently in talks with as it meets most of his conditions

People usually queue for about 30 minutes to 2 hours to get a taste of Chan's chicken rice.

Chan also mentioned that one of the main reasons why he wants to expand his business overseas is because of the number of tourists flocking his stall daily. About 90% of the 8-year-old stall's customers are tourists. "If so many people from all over the world are visiting my stall, I think my food can be well-received in other countries too. It has always been a dream to expand my business overseas and pass it to the next generation," added Chan.

Asked on why he's suddenly seeking a partner for the business, Chan explained that due to his old age, he's unsure of how long more will he be able to run the chicken rice stall

Speaking to Singaporean Chinese evening daily, Shin Min Daily News, Chan said that his prospective partner has the relevant experience and is offering generous conditions. However, if the talks fall through, the energetic chef said that he will go back to his initial plan of working with local friends to open of his chicken rice stall outlets in Singapore itself.

"I want my business to expand all over the world, so people worldwide will know about soya sauce chicken - just like how KFC is known everywhere. I hope that this dish will live on for generations."

On the eve of Hari Raya Haji, 6 family members died in a 3-vehicle collision at Km142 of Jalan Kuantan-Segamat, near Rompin

Rompin OCPD Deputy Superintendent Johari Jahaya said the group was travelling in a Perodua Alza from Segamat, Johor, to here when the driver lost control of the vehicle and veered towards the opposite lane at about 8.15pm yesterday. “It then crashed into an oncoming bus with 26 passengers in it,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

A Perodua Myvi, which was moving behind the Perodua Alza, tried to avoid crashing into the car but landed in a ditch by the side of the road. “The driver, the only person in the car, was unhurt,” said DSP Johari. He said of the deceased, three were men, two women and another was a girl.

Two women were killed and more than 10 people injured in a five-vehicle pile-up at KM255.9 of the North-South Expressway near the Menora Tunnel, causing a 10km traffic crawl. Another male victim, believed to be the brother of one of the women, sustained serious injuries. The morning incident, coming on the eve of Hari Raya Haji when thousands of city folks were heading home for the celebration, resulted in heavy congestion on the northbound lane of the expressway.

6 Family-Friendly Activities In Dubai That Cost Less Than RM60 Per Person

The average Malaysian would probably think of Dubai as a city that bleeds luxury

Image via Christoph Schulz/Unsplash

From high-end brands to flying taxis, Dubai may seem like a really expensive country to holiday even for just a couple - what more a family! However, the city has a quieter, more mesmerising side to it that - fortunately - is also easier on the wallet.

Here are six activities the whole family can enjoy without tearing a hole in your pocket:

1. Experience the world in one place at Global Village

Image via SAYS

The mere AED15 (approximately RM17) entry fee feels like a plane ticket around the world.

Image via Sara Ghazi Mubarak/Dubai Tourism

Image via SAYS

If you're looking to buy souvenirs, Global Village is the best place to do so because there are over 27 pavilions dedicated to various countries and continents such as Japan, India, Turkey, and Africa.The "shopping theme park" - as I like to call it - also has cultural performances at certain times and a carnival.

2. Cruise down Dubai Creek on a magical abra ride

Image via SAYS

Abras were traditionally used by fishermen in their daily toils, but these days they serve tourists who would like the breezy experience of crossing the Dubai Creek. There are two routes available:- Bur Dubai to Deira Old Souk and vice versa- Dubai Old Souk to Al Sabhkha and vice versa

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

The ride only cost AED1 (approximately RM1.10) one way if you're sitting on the motorised traditional abra. No bookings needed; just show up and line up! You can also book a private abra or have a cruise down the Dubai Creek with extra costs. There are a host of different models for you to choose from as well.

3. Put your haggling skills to the test at Dubai Spice Souk

Image via SAYS

One of the traditional abra routes would drop you off right at the ever-popular Deira Spice Souk, a 50-year-old traditional market in the heart of Old Dubai.It is here that you will find all the spices you've ever heard of and more. Look out for Oud (agarwood) perfumes, nuts, dried fruits, and non-food items such as pashmina shawls and embroidered accessories that would make great gifts for loved ones back home.Don't be afraid to haggle for a great bargain! It's even expected of visitors.

4. Feel the floor drop beneath you at Dubai Frame

More than just an engineering feat, Dubai Frame offers a sweeping view of Dubai at 150m in the air. Visitors are taken through the past and present of Dubai, and the tour ends with a glimpse into its future.

The Frame sits on a strategic area within Zabeel Park: face south for a view of Old Dubai, and then north to see New Dubai.Don't forget to watch where you step, or you might just feel like you're about to drop! ;)

Pricing:AED50 (approximately RM56) for adultsAED30 (approximately RM33) for children

5. Step into history at the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood

Built in the 19th century, the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood sits along the Dubai Creek.It used to be home to rich traders who utilised the Creek as a trading route, but these days the neighbourhood is home to a cultural centre, museums, and cafes.

Sneak around the sikka (alleys) and spot the bright street art that make for great photos, or simply peruse history and culture in one spot. There's no fee to explore the neighbourhood and its museums, but if you can splurge a little, the cultural lunch at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU) is a priceless learning experience.

6. Relax and dine by the beach at La Mer

La Mer is a beachfront shopping and dining boulevard that boasts so many activities, leaving you spoiled for choice.Its container-like buildings take on a contemporary, minimalistic design with a marine theme to it. Within these buildings are a host of dining choices from all over the world.

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

Fun for the whole family is in abundance: there are a number of playgrounds for the children and even a mini carnival with games.  But parents who want to get some alone time to romantically stroll along the beach should consider Hawa Hawa, an inflatable playground concept from Japan that offers bouncy dunes for endless fun! A 30-minute session would AED40 (approximately RM45) per child.

Image via SAYS

BONUS: There are a lot more thrilling adventures that are worth checking out in Dubai, especially if you have a little extra space in your budget

A desert safari experience, for example, is an absolute must if your budget allows it. Tour companies offer a wide range of packages that range from AED200 to AED600 (approximately RM225 to RM673) depending on the activities you ask for: dune bashing, sand surfing, camel rides, and even night stays in the desert!

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

Google Maps is a great convenience to users worldwide by providing its popular, high-tech, and interactive 360° panoramic views and satellite imagery of the world

However, in addition to accurately capturing street views, the Google Maps car has also unintentionally captured the rise and fall of the human experience, from odd simulation-like glitches to straight up laughable pictures worldwide.Recently, a Twitter post by user @barang2gemas garnered over two million views and 40,000 likes for compiling a thread of the best Google Map candids she found in Indonesia.

Let's take a look at a few!

1. An older woman was captured riding a motorbike, only without the bike

Me: Grandma, come over.Grandma: I can't, I'm too old to get out of bed.Me: Mom and dad left me at home without food.Grandma:

2. A man glitched out mid-air while riding a trishaw

The simulation is officially broken.

3. Not a glitch, just an itch

Don't you hate it when you have an itch you just can't ditch.

4. Nothing to see here. Just two men in scuba suits running in the middle of a street in broad daylight.

When you're deep sea diving with the bros in the middle of the ocean and bae texts you, "Come over, I'm home alone."

5. Here's a serious motorcycle accident that is not funny at all. Not one bit.

There's nothing funny about these images. Not the way they look like they're falling in slow motion, nor the way a single shoe flew off the rider's feet. Nothing.If you laughed, you're a bad person (although we might just get along).

6. When nature calls, you answer — in public and in the middle of the day of course

Oh, don't mind him, he's just marking his territory.

This Twitter User Wants Singapore's Fine For Littered Cigarette Butts Implemented In M'sia

Singapore is a country known for many things. There's the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, and... samans.

Image via The Hiking Heels

Creative Singaporeans even made some "fine" merchandises to go along with it.

It's also a running joke that we have been indulging for decades, admittedly. One Twitter user, however, thinks the practice of being fined for tossing cigarettes irresponsibly in public should be strongly enforced in Malaysia.

Singapore , kau buang puntung rokok bersepah kena saman $300 (RM900).. kat sini selamba je orang hisap rokok kat kedai makan yg jadi kunjungan family yg bwk baby & anak kecik. Siap pertahankan hak masing2.Aku cadangkan kerajaan mansuhkan GST dan buat regulation ni dalam akta EQA. pic.twitter.com/oDe2OjK44w— #amyary (@_amyary) March 15, 2018

@_amyray recently tweeted a photo of a fine ticket issued in Singapore with the following caption, translated into English:"In Singapore, you can be fined SGD300 (RM900) for littering a cigarette butt. Over here (in Malaysia), you see people smoking even in family restaurants where there are young children and they will give all sorts of reasons to defend themselves. I suggest for the government to abolish GST and have this as part of the Environment Quality Act (EQA)."

The tweet has gone viral, garnering over 5,000 retweets at the time of writing. Comments have started pouring in from netizens as well.
Some thought it was too idealistic.

Image via @_amyary

"People will complain that the government is collecting money because it has a lot of debts."

Image via @_amyary

"You don’t have to act as if you want this to be implemented as part of the EQA. You’ll see that once this act is confirmed, many will accuse the government of being harsh. You will see."

Others were supportive

Image via @_amyary

"Please implement it in Malaysia soon, I can't wait to see my friends being penalised."

Image via @_amyary

"Waiting for this to be implemented in Malaysia."

And one netizen pointed out that Malaysia does fine irresponsible smokers although the results have been unsatisfactory

Image via @_amyary

"We have this rule. My relative followed an enforcement officer but when he actually fined these people, they became angry and gave excuses, claiming that the government was just 'finding ways to take the people's money' and 'nobody else got fined'."

In Malaysia, tobacco control is regulated under the Food Act 1983 while public littering falls under Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974

Image via Clean Malaysia

Last year, the government made amendments to the Food Act 1983, which restricts smokers from lighting up at public parks and campsites. Under the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974, those caught littering in public spaces can be fined up to RM500 for their offence and a maximum of RM1,00 for subsequent offences.

Do you think there needs to be stronger enforcement when it comes to public littering? Let us you know your thoughts in the comment section below.


Here's What Malaysia Is Doing To Produce More Sustainable Energy For A Greener Future

This Spotlight is sponsored.

Let's start with a not-so-fun fact:

			More than 90% of electricity generated for Peninsular Malaysia was attained from fossil fuel.
        Energy Commission of Malaysia

Most of Malaysia's electricity is generated from burning fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas. From 1990 to 2016, the overall percentage was over 90%. And while there have been conscious efforts to promote renewable energy sources like solar energy and hydroelectricity in Malaysia, we still heavily rely on fossil fuels for our energy.

The shift to becoming a nation with sustainable energy requires us to look at two main things—introducing renewable energy sources and improving current energy efficiency

Image via The Smart Local

In line with this, MESTECC (The Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change) wants to see 20% of Malaysia's electricity being generated from renewable sources by 2030, an increase from the current 2%.However, along with that, there also needs to be a proactive effort to make the remaining 80% of Malaysia's electricity generation more efficient, clean, and sustainable.

Here's a brief look at how we normally generate electricity:

Image via SAYS

The downside with these kinds of power plants is that a lot of potential energy gets wasted during the processes in between. This is why PETRONAS has been introducing co-generation power plants, or combined heat and power plants (CHP plants) for a more efficient process.

In fact, using a co-generation power plant could result in up to 80% efficiency, compared to the traditional power plant which could go as low as 30% efficiency

Image via PETRONAS

A co-generation power plant works very similarly to a gas turbine plant. However, co-generation produces thermal energy for industrial processes and also electricity at the same time, using the same fuel. Hence, it is a very efficient converter for fuel. This allows for an extra cycle of energy generation. This also means that a lot less energy is being wasted, while more electricity is being generated.

One of such plants in Malaysia is the Pengerang Co-generation Plant (PCP) by PETRONAS. Find out more about it in the video below:

Natural gas will leave a positive impact on the environment, community, and the nation’s development

Research conducted by the International Gas Union shows the positive impact of natural gas on the air quality in cities.The use of natural gas in power generation, heating, and transport can significantly reduce air pollution.This positive impact on the environment in turn will improve public health among the community. The result of which is better development for the country.

Image via Expatriate Lifestyle

Here's how natural gas could help preserve the world for the next generation:

Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted in a new, efficient natural gas power plant compared with emissions from a typical new coal plantIt provides cleaner burning than other fossil fuels, and produces negligible amounts of sulfur, mercury, and particulatesBurning natural gas instead of coal could help reduce air pollution, providing immediate public health and environmental benefits Natural gas generators can help support the integration of wind and solar energy, provide increased flexibility to the electricity system, and continue to be used to meet peak demand

All in all, this is a great effort moving forward for our nation, as we strive to provide more affordable and clean energy to Malaysians

A cleaner, greener Malaysia starts with each of us. Whether it's being more conscious of the energy we use, how we manage our waste, or the way we address environmental issues, every Malaysian plays a part.

Here's a simple step you can take to help the environment:

Malaysian Public Transport User Disappointed With A 'Useless' Bus Stop At KL Sentral

[UPDATE] The viral 'useless' bus stop at KL Sentral is now under renovation

On 28 September, renowned Malaysian architect Ng Sek San left a comment on SAYS' Facebook post, attached with some photos."They are installing the acrylic roof today for this brand new bus stop," he explained.

Image via Ng Seksan/Facebook

"This bus stop is still under construction and the acrylic or glass roof has not been installed yet."

Image via Ng Seksan/Facebook

On the same day, Kuala Lumpur City Council (DBKL) also made an announcement informing the public that the bus stop had not yet been completed

"A transparent layer will be used to cover the bus stop. The contractor had not placed barricades around it to inform people that the bus stop was still under construction," said the city council."By Monday, 30 September, the contractor will set up the transparent cover."

Yap Swee Seng who originally posted about the bus stop on Facebook commended DBKL for their swift action.

It was previously reported that a man from Kuala Lumpur was exasperated to find out that a bus stop in KL Sentral could not even do its basic function of sheltering pedestrians

Yap Swee Seng made a Facebook post on 26 September about how he was waiting to take the bus home from KL Sentral when it started to rain.He had just gotten off the LRT when he decided to take shelter at the bus stop across from Public Bank and wait for the bus.

"Little did I know that while this bus stop is extremely new and the roof is beautifully decorated, it actually does not stop the rain from falling down on your head!"

Image via Yap Swee Seng/Facebook

"The girl actually has to hold an umbrella under the bus station," Yap said."This is the roof of the bus stop, very beautiful, but totally useless!" he wrote in another caption.

Image via Yap Swee Seng/Facebook

"I wonder whose 'brilliant' idea is this in our government departments," he continued in the post, "To give public transport users a beautiful bus stop that does not provide the basic function of sheltering its users from the rain or the sun.""How much taxpayers money have been spent to build this totally useless bus stop? Is the interest and welfare of taxpayers even in the mind of our public officials? Or is this another case of mark-up-the-price project in order to get a bigger amount of kickbacks?" he questioned.His post had garnered over 4,500 shares.

Some were unsparing in their comments on the situation, while some people made light of the bus stop

This Facebook user straight up said it.

Image via Yap Swee Seng/Facebook

Another ventured that some money meant for putting up the bus stop went missing.

Image via Yap Swee Seng/Facebook

One critically commented "As if it wasn't enough to be stupid and proud, don't they feel embarrassed to display it to the public with architecture that defeats its purpose?"

Image via Yap Swee Seng/Facebook

While another commented how the material could possibly be dangerous instead.

Image via Yap Swee Seng/Facebook

Someone's got to fix that bus stop!

Meanwhile, KTM has upgraded their services:

Remaja 13 Tahun Dirogol Lebih 10 Kali Oleh Abang Kandung 16 Tahun Sehingga Mengandung

Seorang remaja lelaki berusia 16 tahun ditahan di rumahnya di Kampung Baru Cina, Semenyih selepas merogol adik perempuannya berusia 13 tahun sehingga mengandung, pada jam 5.30 petang semalam

Seperti yang dilaporkan oleh Harian Metro pagi tadi, menurut sumber, mangsa telah dirogol lebih 10 kali ketika bapanya keluar bekerja.

"Mangsa tinggal bersama bapanya yang berusia 42 tahun dan lima lagi adik-beradik yang lain manakala ibu mangsa sudah melarikan diri sejak sebulan lalu," katanya.

        hmetro.com.my

Bapanya yang merupakan seorang pengawal keselamatan itu mula mengesyaki sesuatu selepas melihat perut mangsa semakin membesar

Bapa mangsa kemudiannya, membawa remaja yang kini berada di tingkatan satu itu ke hospital untuk pemeriksaan doktor.

"Hasil pemeriksaan mendapati remaja itu hamil tujuh bulan sebelum mengaku dirogol abang sulungnya berkali-kali," lapor sumber tersebut.

        hmetro.com.my

Menurut sumber itu lagi, mangsa kini di bawah jagaan Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat.

Kes rogol yang melibatkan gadis bawah umur semakin hari semakin meningkat dan amat membimbangkan

Image via www.bicaradariaku.com

Seperti yang dilaporkan oleh Utusan Online sebelum ini, sebanyak enam hingga tujuh kes rogol bawah umur diterima polis di seluruh negara setiap hari dari tahun 2013 hingga  awal tahun lalu.Jumlah itu difahamkan berkurangan berbanding tahun-tahun sebelum 2012, yang pernah mencecah 3,000 hingga 4,000 laporan polis setahun.Namun, sebahagian besar laporan polis itu tidak tepat kerana mangsa kebanyakannya melakukan perbuatan seks atas dasar suka sama suka.

Image via prihatin.net.my

Keadaan itu sangat membimbangkan kerana statistik yang dikeluarkan Bahagian Siasatan Seksual, Wanita dan Kanak-kanak (D11), Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Bukit Aman menunjukkan, kelompok bawah umur 16 tahun dikesan mengenali perbuatan seks sejak di awal usia lagi.

Statistik itu juga menunjukkan kenalan dan teman lelaki menjadi suspek utama dalam kes rogol tersebut

Dan mereka yang berusia 13 hingga 15 tahun dikesan paling ramai menjadi mangsa iaitu seramai 3,296 orang dalam tempoh tiga tahun kebelakangan ini.Pada 2015, suspek yang berstatus kenalan adalah sebanyak 1,020 kes, 2014 (1,045 kes) dan 2013 (1,404 kes).Suspek berstatus teman lelaki pula sebanyak 856 kes, 2014 (942 kes) dan 2013 (1,113 kes).

Terima jemputan masa majlis perkahwinan untuk menyanyi

Video itu dibuat bermula dengan seorang sedang berjalan kemudian barangnya jatuh. Kemudian, barang tersebut diambil dan dipulangkan oleh orang yang memegang kamera.Tidak lama selepas itu, mereka kemudian menari bersama-sama dengan iringan lagu Sikok Bagi Duo. Difahamkan, Sikok Bagi Duo juga merupakan lagu yang berasal dari Palembang, Sumatera Selatan.Menurut sumber, ketika itu Meli Dedi sedang mengacarakan majlis perkahwinan, sebelum dia dan rakan-rakannya dijemput untuk menari sambil menyanyikan lagu Sikok Bagi Duo.Siapa sangka, rupa-rupanya lagu dengan iringan DJ itu mempunyai maksud yang baik. Lagu ini membincangkan kerjasama dan sokongan untuk seseorang atau kumpulan.Lirik lagu pertama berbunyi, "sikok untuk duo, jangan naik jugo weto tekan samo-samo. Sikok buat duo, jangan naik telan galo-galo. Sikok untuk duo, jangan naik, jom tekan samo-samo."Jika diterjemahkan, lirik lagu itu bermakna, jika satu untuk dua tidak boleh, bolehlah kita usahakan bersama.Lihat video muzik penuh di bawah ini:

Bersempena dengan satu pertunjukan fesyen tahunan yang telah diadakan di Pavilion, Sharifah Sakinah telah meluahkan rasa dukacitanya di laman Instagram pada sesetengah individu dan personaliti popular yang tidak menepati masa.

        View this post on Instagram           This is a rant post. So far, I’ve been attending KL Fashion Week for the past few years. It’s not that that long but long enough to see what’s unacceptable in the event’s scene. Dear fashionista, VIP clients, social media influencers, any important players in the industry and all attendees PLEASE PLEAE PLEASE respect the value of time. Imagine the preparation behind this huge event annually. A lot of people put a lot of hard work for months by the event organizers, designer, models. So: Please arrive on time. (Respect other people’s time) Please enter the hall when being invited. (Tak payahlah lama2 borak2, gelak2, snap pics kat hall luar. Yes, we know you are the invitees). Please sit before the event starts. (Orang nak tengok baju model, bukan baju orang yang baru nak duduk). I know it’s a fashion show, but that doesn’t mean everyone is allowed to be fashionably late. Don’t take the theme to the heart sangat. A post shared by  Sharifah Sakinah Al-Khaired (@sharifah_sakinah) on Aug 8, 2018 at 6:35am PDT

Bermula di peringkat tadika sehinggalah ke menara gading, ilmu pengetahuan ditimba tidak putus-putus bagai air sungai yang mengalir.  Bahkan ketika di sekolah, seorang guru umpama ibu dan ayah kepada pelajar yang mendidik dan mengawasi pelajar sebaik sahaja sesi persekolahan bermula sehinggalah selesai.

Barisan Nasional (BN) chairperson Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is facing calls for his ouster from the top post amidst his attempts to align the coalition with Pakatan Harapan (PH) to form a government

According to New Straits Times, which cited MCA secretary-general Datuk Chong Sin Woon, BN Supreme Council has proposed that Zahid be replaced with his deputy, Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.This comes after a letter showed Zahid writing to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong saying that BN members of parliament (MPs) will support Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th prime minister."I wish to emphasise that the claims in the letter are completely out of line with the decision made by the BN Supreme Council in both meetings on 22 November," the portal quoted Chong as saying today."In both meetings, the supreme council resolved that BN will not support anyone as the prime minister at this moment [...] Zahid had gone against the BN supreme council's collective decision and did not correctly communicate BN's resolution to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong," the MCA secretary-general added.Chong said that MCA believes Zahid is no longer fit to continue leading BN. "We call for his resignation from his position as chairperson, to be replaced by (UMNO deputy president) Mohamad Hasan as proposed during the BN supreme council meeting last night," he said.
