A university student was overjoyed to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri with his family in Sabah after a kind stranger sponsored his flight tickets back home

TikTok user @fikarzy, identified as Mohd Zulfiqar from the Kuantan, Pahang campus of International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) by mStar, first took online to voice his woes on 18 April after coming to terms with the fact that he would not be able to return home for the celebration this year."I would be lying if I said I'm not sad to see my friends going back to their hometowns for Hari Raya," he expressed, as the video shows him and a friend eating dinner together in their dormitory."But what can we do, the flight ticket home is too expensive and not everyone is from the T20 or M40 group," he wrote in the captions embedded in the video."It's okay, it's a small sacrifice for the future," said the medical student.

However, in a turn of events, a few days later, Zulfiqar updated that a kind TikTok user saw his video and offered to buy him and his friend flight tickets back home

In a TikTok video on 22 April, the first day of Hari Raya, Zulfiqar showed that a good Samaritan had reached out to him on the platform and bought both of them flight tickets from Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur, and subsequently from Kuala Lumpur to Sabah on 21 April."Since we thought we weren't going home for Raya this year, we bought a week's worth of groceries. But Allah is the best planner," wrote the grateful student."I wasn't expecting a kind stranger to be willing to sponsor us flight tickets home for Hari Raya."Only Allah knows how happy we were at that time," he added.

Image via SAYS

Do you really know the condition of your skin?

We asked a few Malaysians about basic skin care and tested their knowledge. Watch how they did:

Kuantan MP Claims Malaysians Don't Want LGBTs To Be Role Models For Their Children

Kuantan Member of Parliament (MP) and Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Fuziah Salleh claimed that people do not want the Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgenders (LGBT) to be their children's role models yesterday, 9 August

Fuziah Salleh

"People do not want such icons (LGBTs) to be role models for their children. They need to respect (the majority of Malaysians), this is not discrimination," the Deputy Minister was quoted as saying by Bernama.She was commenting on the portraits of LGBT activists Nisha Ayub and Pang Khee Teik that were recently removed from the George Town Festival exhibition in Penang.

Fuziah also said that it is important for the government to protect the sensitivity of the majority

The Kuantan MP added that the sensitivity and rights of most Malaysians should be respected, especially when the LGBT "lifestyle" is being "promoted openly"."When LGBT people talk about human rights, we respect their rights, but in society there are many other groups who also have rights... majority of the people in this country do not want the culture to be promoted openly," she was quoted as saying by Bernama.

Previously, Fuziah said that the LGBT group can be "corrected" rather than punished

Last month, Malaysiakini reported the Deputy Minister as saying that she is capable of correcting the "conflict between two personalities" with her background in counselling. She also claimed that she has witnessed men who "dressed like women" return to "human nature".

Read about the removal of LGBT portraits from the George Town Festival exhibition earlier this week:

Rakyat Malaysia Sangat ‘Excited’ Sarawak Mainkan Peranan Penting Dalam Filem ‘Venom’

Sebuah filem aksi lakonan Tom Hardy berjudul VENOM telah mula ditayangkan di pawagam seluruh Malaysia

Image via Google

Venom merupakan watak anti-hero atau lebih mudahnya antagonis yang terjadi kerana jangkitan symbiote yang merupakan organisme yang berasal dari luar angkasa.Salah satu kelebihannya, symbiote ini dapat memulihkan fizikalnya setelah mengalami kerosakan dalam masa yang sangat cepat. Symbiote boleh meresap ke dalam badan manusia dan melekat dalam anggota tubuh.

Image via Observer

Filem Venom keluaran Sony Pictures yang berdurasi 1 jam 53 minit ini telah diarah oleh Ruben Fleischer turut menampilkan Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze dan Reid Scott sebagai pelakon utama.

Sinopsis filem Venom

Filem ini menceritakan tentang Eddie Brocke (Tom Hardy), seorang wartawan yang mengkaji satu kes tentang satu penemuan baru yang diketuai oleh Dr. Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed). Dari penemuan makhluk ciptaan Dr Carlton itu, Eddie telah diserang dan dihanyuti dengan organisme yang dinamakan symbiote yang dapat menyatu dengan tubuh manusia untuk membentuk super-human.

Image via Slash Film

Kemudian Eddie pun terjangkiti salah satu makhluk ciptaan Dr. Carlton Drake. Dalam kondisi terjangkiti organisme asing dalam tubuhnya, Eddie bertarung melawan si makhluk dan orang-orang yang mengejarnya. Eddie berusaha menggunakan kekuatan yang dimiliki untuk kebaikan bukan kejahatan. Namun, semakin lama ianya nampak luar biasa… nantikan kisah selanjutnya.

Bagi mereka yang sudah menonton filem Venom pasti terkejut kerana adegan pembukaan filem ini memaparkan Malaysia!

Adegan dari filem 'Venom' yang dikatakan di Sibu, Sarawak.
Image via Sony Pictures

[AMARAN: Spoiler bagi pembukaan filem di bawah!]

Filem ini dibuka dengan roket Yayasan LIFE yang terhempas ke dalam hutan, membolehkan salah satu symbiote yang dibawanya keluar dari kanister. Kemudian dipaparkan bahawa hutan tersebut adalah sebahagian daripada Hutan Simpanan Borneo yang terletak beberapa batu dari Sibu, Sarawak. Seorang pegawai EMT wanita (di bawah), yang dimainkan oleh aktres Amerika, Michelle Lee, juga dipaparkan bercakap beberapa baris dalam bahasa Melayu (dengan loghat Indonesia sedikit).

Image via Sony Pictures

Sudah menjadi norma rakyat kita, apabila disebut sahaja nama Malaysia, lebih-lebih lagi dalam filem antarabangsa, pasti akan teruja dan disorak dengan penuh semangat!

Itu bukan satu-satunya adegan yang dikatakan berlaku di Malaysia. Satu lagi peristiwa penting turut berlaku di sebuah pasar malam di “kampung Malaysia” di Sarawak.

Image via Sony Pictures

Secara dasarnya lokasi tersebut langsung tidak kelihatan seperti pasar malam yang selalunya kita nampak di Malaysia. Reka bentuk set tersebut hanya dilengkapi dengan lampu tanglung tradisional Cina dan gerai-gerai yang memaparkan karakter berbangsa Cina. Jika anda perhatikan dengan teliti, anda akan melihat bahawa belakang jaket pegawai EMT juga menggunakan huruf-huruf dari bahasa Cina.

Image via Sony Pictures

Adegan terakhir di Sarawak berlaku dalam apa yang dipaparkan sebagai Lapangan Terbang Sibu. Reka bentuk set tersebut kelihatan seperti lapangan terbang tersebut sebelum ianya diubah suai.

Dr Mahathir Mohamad will soon be appointed as chairman of Proton Holdings Bhd, 29 years after he handed over the keys to the first national car rolling off its production line as prime minister, the Malaysian Reserve reported today.

The 88-Year-Old Former Prime Minister Will Also Be Appointed As Chairman Of Proton Subsidiary Lotus plc

It also reported that Mahathir will become chairman as well of Proton subsidiary UK-based Lotus plc, a manufacturer of high-end sports cars.

        kinibiz.com

Sources Say Proton Is Expected To Make The Announcement Within Days

“The papers have been signed and as a formality, it will be tabled for approval by the board at its next meeting. We expect the announcement to be made within the week,” a source told The Malaysian Reserve.

This Is Seen As The Boldest Move By DRB-Hicom Bhd In Efforts To Transform Proton's Sliding Fortune Since Its Privatisation In 2012

Proton is expected to make an announcement within days in what is seen as DRB-Hicom Bhd’s boldest move to date in its effort to transform Proton’s sliding fortunes since it took the company private in 2012, sources familiar with the company said.

        themalaysianreserve.com

Since being taken private, DRB-Hicom has been trying to address its slide by focusing on radical transformation measures of Proton’s management and the appointment of Dr Mahathir is seen as a coup, given the former prime minister’s deep knowledge of the industry and government, and his influence over both.

        themalaysianreserve.com

"Dr Mahathir Is Actually Taking The Bull By Its Horns So To Speak. He Wants To See Proton Succeed At All Costs And If It Requires Micro-Managing It, Then He Is Prepared To Do So."

“This is an advantage to Proton. Dr Mahathir is actually taking the bull by its horns so to speak. He wants to see Proton succeed at all costs and if it requires micro-managing it, then he is prepared to do so. "Dr Mahathir knows this is a make or break period for Proton and he is soaking up all the risks that come along with it,” said the source.

A Singaporean who is the self-proclaimed "naturist" behind the controversial nude sports video shot in Penang said the event was not sexual in nature and was meant to promote a healthy lifestyle, a Malaysian paper reported.

Albert Yam, a member of a Singaporean naturist group, said he has been living the naturist lifestyle for 25 years and the practice, he stressed, does not prescribe going naked for sexual reasons. “Purely nudism... No sex! We have given talks in Thailand and Singapore... We all are true nudist,” he told Malay Mail Online in a recent interview through Facebook.

The exact location of the beach was also not specified, though the summary claimed that the group took a boat ride out of Teluk Bahang Jetty to reach a “secret beach that is located around the back” of Penang island. A park ranger taking care of the beach had also allegedly granted clearance for the event, according to the summary.

There will be no nude beaches in Penang, said a shocked Lim Guan Eng today, following a viral video clip featuring 18 naturists engaging in fun and games in Teluk Bahang. The Penang Chief Minister said the state would not allow any nudist activities to thrive and called on the relevant authorities to investigate the matter.

        themalaysianinsider.com

“One thing is for sure, Penang does not even allow a casino, so how can we allow such an illegal activity to be held? “If it is found that the individuals are Muslims, then the state religious authorities will look into it, but if they’re non-Muslims then the matter should be investigated by the police,” he said at a press conference earlier today.

Tun Mahathir: "Tak Mungkin Ada Lebuh Raya Tanpa Tol" - Ini Reaksi Netizen

Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ketujuh, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad mendedahkan beliau sebenarnya tidak bersetuju dengan manifesto lebuh raya bebas tol yang dijanjikan oleh Pakatan Harapan (PH) pada pilihan raya terdahulu

Image via The World News

Menurut beliau, pembinaan lebuh raya tanpa mengenakan kutipan tol adalah mustahil dan tidak mungkin dapat diwujudkan.“Kami mewujudkan manifesto itu dengan memikirkan bahawa kami tidak akan menjadi kerajaan. Sekarang kami adalah kerajaan dan manifesto ini menjadi beban yang besar.“Pada masa itu saya menentang, saya tahu, untuk mengadakan laluan percuma…ia tidak boleh (dilakukan). Satu-satunya cara untuk mengadakan laluan percuma dan tiada tol adalah dengan menaikkan harga petrol,” katanya seperti yang dilaporkan Berita Harian.

Tun Mahathir juga mempersoalkan siapa yang akan bertanggungjawab dalam menyelenggara atau membina jalan baharu sekiranya kerajaan memansuhkan kutipan tol

“Anda minta sektor swasta supaya membina jalan raya, mereka mahu meraih keuntungan tetapi jika anda tidak mengadakan kutipan tol, bagaimana hendak mendapatkan keuntungan?” katanya.Selain itu, beliau turut berkata bahawa walaupun tiada jalan bertol di negara England, namun kerajaan disana mengenakan cukai yang sangat tinggi ke atas petroleum dan apabila harga petroleum naik, kenaikan cukai akan menjadi lebih tinggi.

Image via Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia

“Jadi, mereka menggunakan wang itu. Bagaimanapun, jika anda memperoleh wang daripada hasil jualan petroleum, rakyat yang tidak menggunakan lebuh raya juga perlu membayar.“Tetapi di sini, pengguna (lebuh raya) yang bayar. Inilah pegangan kita, bagi mereka yang tidak menggunakan (lebuh raya) mengapa mereka perlu bayar?” tambahnya lagi.Tun Mahathir sebelum ini pernah berkata bahawa kerajaan PH perlu menyemak semula beberapa perkara yang diikrarkan oleh kerana sebahagiannya akan mengakibatkan kerugian yang sangat besar buat negara jika dilaksanakan.

Berikut ada beberapa reaksi netizen perihal kenyataan tersebut dalam laman Facebook:

Photos of doggos sleeping in a daycare centre in South Korea are taking the Internet by storm after the facility shared them online.Self-described as a 'pet kindergarten', the Puppy Spring facility in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea is a trusted place where dog owners can drop off furbabies for a few hours, reported Boredpanda.

The pet kindergarten provides daily care services for doggos who are above 12 weeks old and vaccinated, reported The Korea Times.Doggos can roam free in the daycare centre and undergo lessons to distinguish different smells. The classes are able to help foster obedience in them. The little four-legged friends can also play games that are designed to develop sociability.

When the doggos are drained out from all the fun, they will be tucked in for a nap by the loving trainers

The certified trainers will get a chance to rest too, while the doggos dream of treats. But, it is also the time when the trainers cannot resist but take pictures of these adorable furballs."We get the pups napping from 2pm to 3:30pm," a spokesperson told Boredpanda. "The cost of our services varies and depends on a few different factors, including the amount of time dogs spend at the facility."According to The Korea Times, the monthly fee is around USD210 to USD670 (RM867 to RM2,770) and the pet kindergarten can take up to 30 waggling tails each day.

Bekas CEO MAS Christoph Mueller Sah Sertai Emirates. Siap Ada Jawatan Khas!

Pada April 2016, Christoph Mueller mengumumkan bahawa beliau akan meninggalkan Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) pada September selepas hanya setahun berkhidmat

Image via vulcanpost.com

Perletakan jawatan Christoph Mueller sebagai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) sememangnya tidak dijangka kerana kontrak beliau masih lagi berbaki 2 tahun.Walaubagaimanapun, beliau memberitahu untuk berhenti atas faktor peribadi."Saya bangga dengan apa yang telah dicapai sebagai satu pasukan dalam masa yang singkat. Malangnya, keadaan peribadi menyukarkan saya untuk berkhidmat sepanjang tempoh sepenuhnya," kata Mueller.

Dan kini, Christoph Mueller telah sah menyertai Emirates Airline, syarikat penerbangan terbesar dunia yang berpangkalan di Dubai, UAE

Image via leeabbamonte.com

Lebih menarik, Emirates menubuhkan satu jawatan khas buat Mueller yang dikenali sebagai Ketua Pegawai Digital dan Inovasi.Beliau yang meninggalkan MAS bulan ini tidak berehat dengan terus menyambung tugasnya bersama Emirates, berkuatkuasa pada 20 September 2016."Mueller diberi jawatan yang baru dicipta bagi memainkan peranan yang beerti dalam pengurusan syarikat yang menjana trafik antarabangsa terbesar dunia itu," memetik laporan Bloomberg.

Mueller sebelum ini pernah mencetus kontroversi apabila membuat keputusan untuk membuang 6,000 pekerja sekali gus. Alasannya?
"Ketika saya berjalan di hangar, ada pekerja yang tidur."

"Di sebalik pelbagai pengumuman kerajaan, pemulihan MAS tidak dilaksanakan ketika saya mula-mula menjadi CEO."Ramai di kalangan 20,000 kakitangan yang bekerja untuk syarikat itu tidak mempunyai apa-apa untuk dilakukan."Malah, ketika saya berjalan di hangar, ada pekerja yang tidur. Sebab itu, saya terpaksa radikal mengurangkan 6,000 pekerjaan," kongsi Muller kepada stesen penyiar Jerman, Deutsche Welle (DW).

There's A Stunning Hidden Lake In Malaysia That Can Be Found Inside A Mysterious Tunnel

Behind a 50m mysterious, dark tunnel in Ipoh is a hidden gem that is the perfect destination for adventurous souls

Image via @cherr_berr (Instagram)

As you enter the tunnel, it opens up into an idyllic hidden lake with a view that will leave you breathless.

Image via @fadilasajai (Instagram)

Mirror Lake or Tasik Cermin is tucked deep within a former quarry surrounded by limestone hills

In recent years, people have sought out this hidden gem and taken some pretty cool Instagram shots.However, it's not recognised as an official tourist destination yet so avoid bringing children and be aware that you will be going at your own risk.

Image via @natashaamohd (Instagram)

Image via @cik.pena_ (Instagram)

Image via @edyfanti (Instagram)

There's a viewing platform (possibly built for previous quarrying purposes) where you can stand at and take in the scenery

Several reviews note that the platform has been through years of wear and tear, so be mindful when walking on it to avoid any holes or uneven flooring.

Image via Pokok Kelapa

Image via @kuihkapit (Provided to SAYS)

Located at Gunung Rapat, Tasik Cermin is a 20-minute drive from Ipoh town

Although it was once a quarry, operations have been ceased. There isn't any proper signage as well so finding the lake is an adventure in itself.

Image via Malaysia Traveller

The lake's glassy reflection of the hills is how it got its name, Mirror Lake.

How do I get there?

After turning left at Jun Tyre Auto Service, follow signage labelled 'Tokong Da Seng Ngan' located along the road until you reach the quarry entrance next to a white run-down bungalow.According to Malaysia Traveller, you will need to walk through this area until you reach the tunnel.Some things to take note of before visiting:- You might need to pay around RM5 to an unofficial parking attendant.- You can take photos but do not swim or fish at the lake.- It's not a tourist spot and it's not developed so avoid bringing children.

Pasti ramai yang mengenali usahawan kosmetik terkenal tanah air, Datuk Seri Aliff Syukri Kamarzaman

Sama ada dirinya diminati ataupun tidak, namanya tetap menjadi sebutan orang ramai.

Ternyata usahawan kosmetik yang terkenal dengan tagline 'terlajak laris' itu sememangnya menjadi perhatian umum oleh kerana sikapnya dan suaranya yang lantang, serta video-video viralnya yang selalu mendapat kecaman orang ramai.

Namun begitu, di sebalik kontroversi yang pernah dicetuskan beliau, Aliff Syukri merupakan seorang yang tidak pernah mengabaikan kewajipan membantu golongan yang memerlukan.

Baru-baru, seorang lelaki telah berkongsikan satu sisi Aliff Syukri yang mungkin ramai tidak tahu melalui laman Twitter miliknya

Semuanya bermula gara-gara Aliff Syukri telah memuat naik gambar yang mempamerkan resit bayaran zakat di laman Instagram menyebabkan pengguna Twitter itu tampil menceritakan suatu perkara mengenai usahawan kosmetik berkenaan.

Dalam perkongsiannya, Faisal Rahim yang juga merupakan amil zakat berkata, Aliff Syukri adalah seorang peniaga yang sentiada dan tidak pernah tertinggal membayar zakat harta setiap bulan.

Bukan itu sahaja, amil zakat itu juga memuji sikap Aliff Syukri yang telah mula membayar zakat harta semenjak usianya masih belasan tahun. Meskipun terdapat beberapa pihak yang menyifatkan Aliff Syukri sebagai riak kerana seolah-olah ingin menunjuk jumlah bayaran zakatnya itu, namun Faisal membidas kata-kata tersebut dan menegaskan bahawa zakat merupakan ibadah yang perlu disebarkan kepada orang ramai.

Susulan daripada perkongsian tweet berkenaan, terdapat sebilangan warga Internet yang telah menyuarakan pendapat mereka tentang tindakan Aliff Syukri itu

Hasil tinjauan di ruangan reply mendapati terdapat beberapa warganet yang bersetuju dan turut sama mendoakan kejayaan dalam perniagaan usahawan terbabit.

UM Lodges Police Report Against Yemeni PhD Student Who Claimed His Research Was Stolen

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

Universiti Malaya (UM) has lodged a police report against a PhD student from Yemen after he accused in a now viral video that his research project was stolen by his supervisors at the university

In a statement yesterday, 29 August, UM's corporate communications office denied the incident, saying that it is the university's policy that research results and scientific results become its property, reported New Straits Times.The PhD candidate, known as 34-year-old Abbod Ali Mohammed Saeed, claimed that two of his supervisors had used his project materials for their own benefit. In a TikTok video posted on Sunday, 28 August, Abbod explained that he filed a police report against UM after discovering his login details for his research had been changed, so he was no longer able to access his project files.When he asked his supervisors, they allegedly said the research belonged to the university."Since that day, the behaviour, the treatment (of the supervisors) had totally changed. I was treated aggressively, humiliated, so they thought I would be disappointed," he said in the video.

  @mvrasmi Pelajar PhD dari Yemen mendakwa idea dan data kajiannya dicuri Universiti Malaya. Bukan dia sahaja malah ramai pelajar Malaysia menanggung nasib yang sama!  #UM #phd #malaysia #berita   Debussy "Moonlight" Piano Solo(829473) - LEOPARD

The media student also claimed that he was not the only student who has encountered this issue and that many local students have also gone through the same process, only to quit after three or four years

In the video, Abbod expressed his disappointment over the issue, as he had put two and a half years of work into the research. He added that it was the supervisors' intentions from the beginning, calling the behaviour "unethical" and "unprofessional".UM, on the other hand, said the PhD candidate had been unable to complete his studies, despite being given the resources and a three-semester deadline extension. According to Free Malaysia Today, the university said the maximum deadline for students' projects is 12 semesters and it comes with fees sponsored by the faculty."The university also held several counselling sessions and appointed additional supervisors to assist him," read the statement.The university will also be reviewing appropriate legal action against the international student.

"Bila dah honk pun dia selamba je masuk parking tu seolah-olah aku tak wujud kat situ sedang menunggu..."

Cerita dia, kejadian berlaku di Mid Valley. Aku dah tunggu nak parking. Even dia pun akui dia dah nampak aku tengah tunggu parking. Bila kereta yang aku tunggu tu keluar, dengan selamba dia je masuk parking situ. Macam aku ni tak wujud kat situ.— Idris Aziz (@hotshotTheCool) November 25, 2018

Aku pun horn la banyak kali, takut dia tak perasan. Lepas tu dia reverse guys. Ingatkan nak keluar, rupa-rupanya nak betulkan parking. Hahahahahaha. Alahai perangai. Speechless aku kat situ.— Idris Aziz (@hotshotTheCool) November 25, 2018

Lelaki ini juga bertindak untuk turun dari kereta dan memberitahu dua wanita tersebut untuk alihkan kereta kerana dia sudah menunggu lama di tepi

Aku pun turun la kereta nak cakap dengan orang kelantan ni. Alhamdulillah, bila dia turunkan cermin dia, nampak la macam orang baik. Aurat pun ditutup dengan elok sekali. Aku cakap la elok elok. Iye la benda boleh bawak bincang kot.— Idris Aziz (@hotshotTheCool) November 25, 2018

Jawapan wanita tersebut buatkan lelaki ini bertambah berang. Malah, menurutnya dia juga turut 'dihalau' oleh kedua-dua wanita tersebut.

Bila aku cakap aku dah tunggu parking tu, dia balas dia masuk dulu. Eh dia ni perangai boleh tahan. Aku cakap la aku tak nak tinggi suara sebab benda kecik je. Lepas tu boleh pulak dia halau aku suruh parking tempat lain. Pehh perempuan ni melampau betul.— Idris Aziz (@hotshotTheCool) November 25, 2018

Aku dah cakap elok elok boleh pulak dia halau aku macam tu. Aku pun cakap la baik baik lagi suruh dia alih kereta. Lepas tu dia tutup tingkap dia. Hahahahahahaha. Alahai mak pak hang tak ajar ADAB ke weh? Suka suka hati je potong queue lepas tu claim masuk parking dulu.— Idris Aziz (@hotshotTheCool) November 25, 2018

Akhir sekali, kedua-dua wanita tersebut membuat keputusan untuk alihkan kereta selepas ditegur oleh 'big boss' lelaki ini

Sekali big boss aku turun kereta sound these 2 kelantanese. Baru la sel sel otak dia berhubung. Aku cakap elok elok buat keras kepala. Dah kena sound baru nak terhegeh hegeh nak undur kereta bagai. Time undur tu sempat pulak dia ambik gambar aku. Hahahahaha kau ingat aku heran ke— Idris Aziz (@hotshotTheCool) November 25, 2018

"Mak bapak tak ajar ke? Ke orang KELANTAN memang macam ini?"

Aku tak takut do kau nak viralkan gambar aku ke apa. Aku tahu aku tak salah. ADAB kau tu yang tak ada. Dah 2018 kot. Orang semua maju ke depan, kau masih nak jadi orang bodoh potong queue. Serious do weh mak pak hang tak ajar ke? Ke orang KELANTAN memang macam ni???— Idris Aziz (@hotshotTheCool) November 25, 2018

Aku mintak maaf la kalau terkasar bahasa ke apa. Aku cuma fight hak aku je. And to these 2 kelantanese girls, learn some manner. Kau patut malu dengan sikap kau macam ni. Memburukkan diri kau, family kau, dan negeri kelantan kau. Berubah la sis. Jangan selfish sangat.— Idris Aziz (@hotshotTheCool) November 25, 2018

Tweet tersebut juga telah mendapat perhatian ramai pengguna Twitter dan mereka turut memberikan komen dan nasihat supaya masalah kenegerian tidak dimasukkan ke dalam hal ini:

As a girl, i am sorry and as a kelantanese, i am sorry.Please know that not all girls nor all kelantanese are like that. It’s all about manners.“Manners maketh man” - kingsman— Sri Dewi (@tneyfatin) November 25, 2018

sebab kelantan je dia buat thread panjang2 ni. kalau orang selangor puchong ke orang shah alam ke, takdenya dia nak mention. dasar rasis mentaliti tak berubah. yang salah dua orang, bukan kelantan.— Amirul Qusaini (@amirulqusaini) November 26, 2018

Boleh je tak mention kelantan. Ni ulang sampai sepuluh kali. Macam la negeri lain tak pernah langgar adab. Adab perkauman mana ?— kri (@krimubarak) November 26, 2018

Im not kelantanese but i think its not about which state you’re from. What i mean is, manner is not from the state you’re belong to. If perangai dia mcm tu, just salahkan perangai , bukan negeri dia sekali— FH (@fatin_evigan) November 26, 2018

Bro, saya mewakili org kelantan mntk maaf byk2 dgn sikap 2 org perempuan kelantan trsebut. 2 org prempuan trsebut telah memalukn org yg ada kereta plat D dan telah menjatuhkn maruah negeri kami. Mntk maaf byk2.— ℳr.Li (@JuruteraLi) November 26, 2018

Imagine if this happens between Muslim and other religions. Then they would say all Muslim are the same even there's only 'few' ppl did it. It obviously unfair to judge ppl tht way. It's all about manners and not where they're frm—  (@Syairahamalin_) November 26, 2018

Xyah la mention kelantan. Aku kt negeri sembilan bnyak kali jumpa perempuan mcm ni org negeri sembilan. Xde pulak aku kasi viral nk highlight org negeri sembilan ni perangai sial ke ape— Sir Lee (@seliskylit) November 26, 2018

Pada pendapat kami, isu ini adalah tentang adab bukan masalah dari mana-mana negeri yang terlibat

Adab dalam Islam juga turut memiliki aturan dan juga syariat yang melibatkan semua aspek kehidupan. Jadi tidak perlulah melibatkan mana-mana negeri dalam masalah seperti ini.

Sama-sama kita jadikan perkara ini sebagai teladan. Buang yang keruh, ambillah yang jernih. ;)

Bukit Mertajam MP Helps Woman In RM15K Debt To Get A Job & A Van To Use For Work

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

Finance Deputy Minister II, Steven Sim Chee Keong, recently shared a tearful story of a hardworking woman who works as a flower delivery person

Sim detailed the struggles of Kak Ina in a Facebook post, in which he wrote that the woman would take 25 delivery jobs in a day to make ends meet.According to the Bukit Mertajam member of parliament (MP),  the woman used an old Proton Wira to deliver flowers and had to make several trips because of the vehicle's small size.Even though she worked day and night, Kak Ina only earned around RM800 to RM1,000 per month, and would sometimes skip meals and go to bed hungry."Despite being quite busy with Parliament and ministerial responsibilities, I kept my promise to meet with Kak Ina," wrote Sim, adding that he had heard of her story for a while now.

Kak Ina was also RM15,000 in debt due to her taking out loans while she was caring for her sick mother

Because of the debt default, the woman was blacklisted by her bank. She also struggled to pay her outstanding water bill and house rent, which, according to Sim, had reached thousands of ringgit."Sometimes she would have no money to buy food and it's not because Kak Ina was lazy to work, but because she was trapped in a cycle of debt, which made her unable to improve her work life," said Sim.Unfortunately, Kak Ina's mother had also died from her illness."Now, her beloved mother is gone, but the debt still follows her."

After hearing Kak Ina's story, Sim decided to help the woman by easing her work life

Sim said that he called his friend Eric Cheng, the founder of CARSOME Malaysia, a leading used car buying and selling portal, and shared Kak Ina's story."Eric immediately offered her a RM23,000 van. Even though the car is secondhand, CARSOME did an amazing job inspecting the vehicle," wrote Sim.Aside from giving the woman a van, the Bukit Mertajam MP also helped pay Kak Ina's RM15,000 debt and cleared her name from the bank's blacklist data.Sim then contacted another one of his friends, Giden Lim, the founder of the flower-selling portal, BloomThis, and the business owner offered Kak Ina a new job."He told me that his company would hire Ina to work as a freelance flower delivery person. He expects Ina to earn around RM3,000 to 5,000 a month if she is willing to work hard," he added.However, Sim said that the RM15,000 was only loaned to the woman to help clear off her name and she will have to pay him back monthly if she manages to earn RM3,000 a month at her new job.

Sim said that he was lucky to have friends who were able to help Kak Ina

"Madani Malaysia is not just a slogan, Madani Malaysia means if we are in trouble, the government will help, and neighbours will help, regardless of race and religion," he said."In this glorious month of Ramadan, I hope my small efforts will give a new life to Kak Ina," he added.

Steven previously received praises for his efforts in helping ease the lives of several other Malaysians:

Individu Ini Melarang Anda Muat Naik Gambar 'Boarding Pass' Ke Laman Sosial. Kenapa?

Menjelang Ramadan dan Aidilfitri ini, pasti ramai yang mengambil kesempatan untuk pulang ke kampung, malah ada juga yang melancong untuk meraikannya bersama keluarga

Image via AirAsia

Bagi yang tinggal agak jauh seperti di Sabah atau Sarawak, semestinya kapal terbang merupakan satu-satunya pilihan yang ada untuk pulang ke kampung halaman.

Mungkin anda atau orang-orang yang anda kenali pernah memuat naik gambar boarding pass mereka di laman sosial sebelum menaiki pesawat. Pernah lihat?

Gambar pra-melancong yang semakin popular dimuat naik di laman sosial.
Image via Instagram @paulenamarie_

Perkara ini memang dah biasa orang buat, terutamanya sebelum menaiki pesawat. Ramai betul orang upload gambar boarding pass.

Tetapi menurut Adam Rodriguez, seorang blogger kembara, tindakan ini sebenarnya boleh membahayakan diri sendiri. Apa sebabnya?

Image via Instagram @lea.deziebo

Kami akan terangkan penjelasan dari Adam dalam bentuk yang ringkas untuk kita sama-sama fahami.

Tahukah anda, terdapat informasi tentang nombor pesawat dan rekod lokasi di setiap boarding pass untuk mana-mana syarikat penerbangan?

Nombor pesawat dan rekod lokasi yang tertera pada boarding pass American Airlines.
Image via thewinglet.boardingarea.com

Jika maklumat ini jatuh kepada individu yang berniat jahat, ia boleh menimbulkan huru-hara. Bagaimana?Berdasarkan maklumat ini, seseorang boleh menghubungi syarikat penerbangan dan menyamar menjadi anda. Ini beberapa kemungkinan yang boleh berlaku seterusnya kepada anda:

1. Dia boleh membuat panggilan palsu ke syarikat penerbangan, kononnya anda ingin membatal atau menukar flight. Akhirnya, anda tidak boleh terbang langsung.

Ia macam panggilan hangit, tapi lebih parah.
Image via HotFM

2. Lebih teruk lagi, dia boleh membuat tuduhan palsu mengatakan anda membawa senjata, dan sekaligus meminta syarikat penerbangan menghalang anda daripada menaiki pesawat.

Tidak semena-mena anda dituduh sebagai seorang pengganas.
Image via www.theregister.co.uk

3. Bukan itu saja, dia juga boleh mendapatkan maklumat peribadi anda seperti alamat, tarikh lahir, nombor keahlian penerbangan dan sebagainya, bergantung kepada maklumat yang anda berikan kepada syarikat penerbangan.

Apa perasaan anda tiba-tiba saja kata laluan anda ditukar tanpa pengetahuan anda?
Image via docs.oracle.com

Lebih malang lagi, kata laluan anda juga mungkin boleh digodam dan ditukar kepada yang baru. Jikalau perkara ini terjadi, anda langsung tidak mempunyai akses ke akaun anda.

Jadi secara ringkasnya, tiada halangan jika anda ingin muat naik gambar boarding pass di laman sosial tetapi pastikan nombor pesawat dan rekod lokasi tidak didedahkan

Gambar seperti ini boleh dijadikan sebagai panduan.
Image via Instagram @ttiia6

Sama-sama kita belajar daripada kesilapan. Mungkin sebelum ini kita tak pernah rasa perbuatan kita itu boleh membahayakan diri kita sendiri. Maka beringatlah selepas ini. Fikir dahulu sebelum upload.

16-Year-Old Girl Murders Best Friend By Stabbing Her 65 Times Over A Facebook Dispute

In a damning reflection on the dangers of social media a fallout on Facebook has caused a 16-year-old Mexican teen to murder her best friend by stabbing her 65 times

Erandy Elizabeth Gutierrez (right) accused of murdering best friend Anel Baez (left)
Image via Facebook.com

A 16-year-old Mexican girl allegedly murdered her 'best friend' in a horrific stabbing attack after she posted semi-naked photos of the pair to her Facebook account.

        dailymail.co.uk

Erandy Elizabeth Gutierrez was furious with fellow teen, Anel Baez, for posting semi-nude photos of the two of them to Facebook and swore to have her revenge

Screenshot of Erandy's tweet to Baez
Image via notus.com.mx

The 16 year old Gutierrez took to another social network to warn Baez, also 16, that she would be fortunate to still be alive at the end of the year. Gutierrez went on to state that although she might appear calm and not legitimately angry but, “in my head I have killed you at least three times”.

        guardianlv.com

This chilling threat was treated as a joke by Baez, who assumed her friend was just engaging in light banter over the incident, despite another promising to “bury” Baez for her betrayal of trust.

        business2community.com

This misinterpretation of Gutierrez’s words led to Baez subsequently inviting her friend over to her house in Guamuchil, Mexico,  as if nothing was wrong

Image via dailymail.co.uk

If Baez was hoping for a reconciliation or to smooth out the problems between the two of them, she was sadly mistaken. While at the house Gutierrez requested to use the bathroom in order to secretly slip into the kitchen and find a knife in order to carry out her horrific crime.

        dailymail.co.uk

Despite their previous closeness, the Mexican teen seems to have had no qualms about her mission to stab her best friend 65 times, all because of a fallout on Facebook caused by a few pictures they were both happy to take together.

        guardianlv.com

Not only was Gutierrez coldly calculating in committing the gruesome and shocking murder, she displayed the same lack of guilt and regret in the aftermath of the killing

Anel Baez referred to her alleged murderer as her 'sister'
Image via dailymail.co.uk

Running from the crime scene she attempted to rid her clothes and the knife she used, of the blood they were covered in, although she was not able to clean them thoroughly. She also pretended innocence as she tried to appear ignorant of the chain of events which led to the murder of Anel Baez, even attending the poor girls funeral along with friends and family with a face full of false grief.

        guardianlv.com

Police did finally trace the crime back to Gutierrez and she was then arrested at the funeral. She is expected to be charged over the killing. If found guilty minors in Mexico can only be sentenced to a maximum of seven years.

        dailymail.co.uk

A photo of the pair posted on October 15 2012 - which has since been liked nearly 3,500 times - shows the two girls smiling for the camera above a heartfelt message written from Baez to the girl who would one day murder her

Image via imgur.com

Translated roughly from Spanish, the message reads: 'I love you...you are my beloved sister...thanks for those moments of madness that provoke me and the laughter that you give me and also the desire to do crazy things with you'.

        dailymail.co.uk

Although Facebook was not the primary cause of the death, with responsibility resting firmly with the disturbed teenager that killed her friend in such a callous manner, its role in the incident should not be ignored

Image via StartBloggingOnline

Facebook related crimes range in nature from the more extreme, such as the Baez murder, rape, sexual assault and kidnappings, to fraud, intimidation and cyber bullying. The majority of cases concerned the lesser, but still worrying, offenses of intimidation and cyber bullying.

        guardianlv.com

It is often a case of an online dispute being the precursor to real violence or an attempt by pedophiles to groom young children. Other times, especially as a response to cyber bullying, suicide is linked with the site. Regardless of what it leads to however, it is an inescapable fact that social media, and Facebook in particular, is now often used for much less social means than those for which it was invented.

        business2community.com

Indeed, this is also not the first time nude photos have been implicated in social media crime. They are another common factor in disputes online, often being used to blackmail, humiliate and shame the people they depict for reasons similar to the vengeful incentive that Gutierrez claimed to have. Although Facebook itself is not the problem, merely a tool which can be used to create them, precautions should be taken in conjunction with the use of the network to try and help avoid such malicious and dangerous activities.

        guardianlv.com

Both privacy settings and greater awareness of the threats posed by online exposure need to be explored in more depth, both by the social media platform and the public in order to avoid future tragedies.

        dailymail.co.uk

The fact that a fallout on Facebook could lead a Mexican teen to stab her best friend 65 times and then pretend it did not happen is a horrendous example of how the site can be implemented in causing the most deadly crimes, and provides a clear warning on the dangers of social media, not just Facebook, which need to be heeded in any way possible.

Malaysians Make Up The Largest Number Of People Living Illegally In Australia

Malaysians are the worst visa abusers when it comes to overstaying in Australia

Image via TheAge

There are currently 62,000 people overstaying their visas and living illegally in Australia, with Malaysians making up the largest sum.According to the Australian Department of Home Affairs, between 2016 and 2017 alone, 10,000 Malaysians had overstayed, followed by about 6,500 people from China and 5,000 from the US. British backpackers had previously topped the list.

Between 2016 and 2017, the Department of Home Affairs kicked out or placed under detention 15,885 people who had overstayed their visas

Overstayers can often face deportation, detention, and bans from re-entering Australia for a minimum period of three years.

Image via Visit Melbourne

Australian Immigration authorities said more than two thirds of the total figure came to Australia on legal visas but continued to live on for more than two years after their visas expired

It was reported that 20,000 of the total number were believed to be have been working.More than 70% were there on expired visitor visas, while 15% were on student visas, and working holiday visas made up about 3%.The total amount of people who overstayed reportedly increased 6% compared with five years ago.

In an interview with Australian news portal SBS News, a 28-year-old Malaysian revealed what it is like to remain in the country without a valid visa

Image via SBS News

Ramesh (not his real name) told the news portal that he barely leaves home except to go to work and is constantly living life on edge, especially when he finds himself around the police."I get nervous, I get scared, like, you know… traumatised," he said. He went to Australia on a three-month tourist visa last year. A family friend promised that she could offer him a working visa for AUD2,000 (RM6,077).Unfortunately, it did not pan out.As his three-month stay came to its end, he tried to extend it but was unsuccessful. He decided to remain in Australia illegally, with or without the visa.

However, Ramesh plans to head home after he has settled his personal debts, especially in paying off the money for the initial visa he never received

Image via SBS News

Ramesh, who desperately wants to get out of the rut he is in, has been living in Australia for a year now.He works doing car detailing during the week, where he is paid cash-in-hand by a boss who does not know he is living there illegally. He also does odd jobs on the weekends to make ends meet.Before leaving the country, Ramesh intends to go to the Malaysian embassy to hand himself in instead of getting caught at the airport. Having learnt his lesson, he advises others to avoid making the same mistakes."Try to get information from the officials like the embassy or immigration [Department of Home Affairs], rather than jump into something you don't know. Rather than being illegal, being afraid," he added.

In February, New Zealand authorities also caught 200 Malaysians living illegally in the country:
