Yesterday, members of Malaysia Independent Animal Rescue and the police swept into the compound which is believed to be an illegal animal breeding facility, in what has been described as the “biggest and worst case of animal abuse” in the country.

Nearly 100 malnourished and mistreated animals were discovered in the compound, either locked up in tiny cages or restrained. Watch this video:

Almost a hundred animals were rescued from a bungalow here, cramped into cages not much bigger than themselves in an unkempt yard reeking of a strong stench and littered with various automobile parts.

Aside from mainly dogs, other animals were also found in the site like cats, chickens, geese, birds and a monkey

There were around 80 dogs at the compound, some in cages and others restrained, along with three cats, two geese, one monkey, and several birds and chickens.

The conditions that the animals were living in were horrible as the place stunk of faeces and was cluttered with auto parts

Journalists covering the early morning raid reported an overpowering smell of faeces. Among the dogs rescued were breeds such as Shih Tzus, Poodles, Pomeranian, Bull Dogs, Pit Bulls and Bull Terriers.

Due to the poor state that the animals were kept in, many of them were sick or badly wounded and were in need of urgent medical attention

“Some have open wounds while others can’t walk. Some are blind. Many are also severely malnourished, with several not having food or clean water. They need urgent treatment,” she said.

The culprits behind this cruel animal breeding operation are a couple, a 52-year-old mechanic and his wife. Both have agreed to surrender the animals.

Puspa believes that the bungalow owner – a 52-year-old mechanic and his wife – also had in their possession some protected species that might require documentation from wildlife authorities.Both the owner and his wife had been cooperative so far, surrendering the animals into the group’s care.

This major rescue would not have been possible if it were not for Puspa Rani, president of Malaysia Independent Animal Rescue (MIAR)

After getting a tip-off from the public, she had to act swiftly despite having very limited resources and manpower

Puspa Rani had only 24 hrs to act following a tip off from public. With limited manpower (3 staff) and resources, she manage to plan and execute this massive rescue.

The animal rescue non-governmental organisation (NGO) was escorted by police officers during the early Sunday morning raid on the house suspected to be an illegal animal breeding ground.

        thestar.com.my

Puspa Rani described it as one of the worst cases of animal abuse in Malaysia and she's never seen anything like it before

"It's like a dead house for dogs. The dogs are just waiting to die. They are so scared and hungry.”“This is the biggest and worst case I have dealt with because there are so many animals involved,” said president of the animal rights group Puspa Rani.“I have seen illegal breeders with around 20 dogs or so. But I’ve never heard of one of this scale,” she said, adding that she was “shocked” and “devastated” to see so many animals in poor condition.

        thestar.com.my

The animals that were rescued have been sent to the vet, finally getting the care that they need and they seem happier as well

Malaysia Independent Animal Rescue president Puspa Rani said the 31 dogs were being sent to the veterinarian in batches of five.“They will undergo a blood test, distemper test, be checked for heartworms and a general checkup for any other problems,” she said, adding that the dogs were “so skinny”.

        thestar.com.my

Puspa is particularly worried about one of the “extremely malnourished” poodles.“She must be close to nine years old. Her fur has fallen off and she does not even resemble a poodle anymore,” she said.“We let them out to run when we arrived at the shelter on Sunday; it looked like it was the first time that they felt grass.

        thestar.com.my

However, due to limited cages and space in her shelter, Puspa did not manage to rescue all of the animals found but will be back for them soon

Image via imgur.com

“I can’t stop thinking about the animals that I have not rescued. I will go back for them as soon as I can,” she said, adding that she needed more space and cages to keep the canines.Puspa said the rescued dogs seemed happier at her shelter.

        thestar.com.my

This animal abuse case will now be handled by the authorities and adoption will not be ready for quite a while

She said the Wildlife and National Parks Department would investigate the case soon.“All the dogs are part of an official case, so they will not be up for adoption for some time.”

        thestar.com.my

MIAR now have their hands full with this case and are seeking for volunteers to help out. They could use some helping hands for the upcoming 'Shower and Grooming Day'.

Shower and Grooming DayWhen: 9am, Saturday, 20th December 2014Where: Near Metro Point Kajang Contact: 019 5289093/ 012 3992021A note from MIAR: Please do not call us and ask for adoption as this is a police case and we need medical reports on their current condition. They need time to recover and we need volunteers to help out. We now have our hands full with this case. Please cooperate with us and help us help them.

Hurry Up And Settle Your PDRM 'Saman' Or The Cops Will Come Knocking On Your Door

Heads up, you might want to settle your police summonses soon

The police will be knocking on the doors of hundreds of thousands of traffic offenders when Ops Warta kicks off next month

In 2008, traffic police had embarked on a door-to-door operation to serve warrants of arrest to traffic offenders under Ops Warta.In 2013, police targeted over 251,000 errant motorists, heavy vehicle drivers and motorcyclists in the first stage of Ops Cantas Trafik.Notices were sent out to the offenders, warning them that warrants of arrest have been issued against them.

        thestar.com.my

According to Bukit Aman traffic chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Mohd Fuad Abdul Latiff, there are 1.59 million Malaysians who have outstanding warrants of arrest

Bukit Aman traffic chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Mohd Fuad Abdul Latiff said they had not forgotten about those traffic offenders who had outstanding warrants of arrest.“To date, 2.49 million of the 4.09 million warrants of arrests have already been settled.“Now we are looking at the remaining 39% (1.59 million),” he said at Bukit Aman yesterday.

        thestar.com.my

The police mean business. They will be working with the EPF and National Registration Department to track down the addresses of traffic offenders.

Nailed: Two police officers leaving a warrant of arrest at the house of a traffic offender in Malacca during Ops Warta last year. They will be launching the operation again next month.
Image via The Star Online

They have already sent out multiple warnings to these offenders

SAC Mohd Fuad said multiple warnings have already been given over the past two years, but these remaining offenders were stubborn and had refused to settle their summonses.

        thestar.com.my

A word of warning from SAC Mohd Fuad: "Don’t be surprised if you are stopped at a roadblock next month and are placed under arrest."

SAC Mohd Fuad added that the operations would kick off some time next month.“Don’t be surprised if you are stopped at a roadblock next month and are placed under arrest,” he said.

        thestar.com.my

Also, the police will not be accepting "no money to pay summonses" as an excuse anymore

It was reported last year that police would not entertain excuses from the usual plea of ignorance to claims of having no money to pay their summonses.

        thestar.com.my

To check for outstanding traffic summonses:

MyEG has a section where you can pay PDRM summonses. You can also register to receive alerts for new summonses via email.Another online method to check and pay summonses is via Rilek.

You can also check for outstanding summonses at any traffic police counters, post office, Maybank ATMS, selected shopping malls, and Road Transport Department branches.

Luluh hati satu pasangan suami isteri apabila anak kecil mereka yang baru hendak bertatih ditemui mati berlumuran darah selepas dilanggar secara tidak sengaja oleh ibunya ketika sedang mengundurkan kenderaan pelbagai guna (MPV) dalam kejadian di Jalan Ibrahim, Bukit Besar dekat sini semalam.

Faziah Yusof, 35, sedang mengundurkan kereta Proton Exora tanpa menyedari bahawa anaknya telah berjalan ke belakang kereta

Insiden ini bermula, ketika Faziah Yusof (35), tengah memundurkan mobil Proton Exora keluar dari tempat parkir agar bisa digunakan oleh suaminya pergi kerja.

        tribunnews.com

Menceritakan semula kejadian itu, bapa mangsa, Mohd. Fitri Ngah, 40, memberitahu, sebelum kejadian, dia bermain dengan Muhammad Faqih di ruang tamu bersama anak-anak lain. Kata guru itu, dia kemudian meninggalkan mereka untuk bersarapan di dapur.

“Pada masa sama, isteri saya, Faizah Yusuf, 35, menghidupkan enjin untuk mengeluarkan MPV jenis Proton Exora dari garaj sebelum membawa kenderaan itu masuk semula secara mengundur. Dia sering berbuat demikian untuk memudahkan saya keluar bekerja.

        kosmo.com.my

“Ketika itulah mungkin Muhammad Faqih yang baru hendak belajar berjalan pergi ke garaj sebelum dilanggar secara tidak sengaja oleh isteri saya. Faizah hanya berhenti dan turun dari kereta selepas terdengar jeritan seorang jiran yang melihat kejadian itu,” ceritanya ketika ditemui di HSNZ.

        malaysiandigest.com

"Mendengar teriakan itu saya bergegas keluar rumah dan melihat isteri telah memangku anak kami dan bergegas menghantar ke Hospital. "Biasanya anak saya tidak pernah merangkak keluar rumah namun hari ini dia merangkak sehingga ke garaj kereta," katanya ketika ditemui di rumah mayat HSNZ di sini.

Tambahnya, dia yang terkejut kemudian bergegas keluar dan alangkah luluh hatinya apabila mendapati Muhammad Faqih telah terbaring dalam keadaan berlumuran darah lalu memangkunya. Mangsa kemudian dikejarkan ke HSNZ namun disahkan meninggal dunia tidak lama selepas itu.

Rosmah's Son And Jho Low Named In A Major Lawsuit Linked To 1MDB By The US Govt.

The US Government is all set to file a major civil lawsuit seeking to seize more than USD1 billion worth of assets allegedly purchased with money that was stolen from 1MDB by people close to Najib Razak, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal today reported. It is one of the largest asset seizures in the US history.

1MDB, whose advisory board was headed by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak until it was dissolved recently, is embroiled in multiple global probes related to allegations of money laundering and embezzlement. Najib’s family has been entangled in various alleged links to 1MDB funds, alongside a separate donation scandal that has caused more than a year of political tensions in Malaysia.

        bloomberg.com

While the asset seizures would be the first action linked to 1MDB taken by the US govt, it isn't known what assets would be seized

The asset seizure is being led by the Justice Department’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, which was set up in 2010 to target the spoils of overseas corruption cases.The move by U.S. authorities to seize assets tied to an investment fund run by a foreign government would be a major escalation in Washington’s global efforts to fight corruption and block allegedly illegally obtained funds from moving through the world’s financial system.The expected actions by U.S. authorities also threaten to upend the country’s relationship with Malaysia that has long been an important U.S. ally in Southeast Asia.

        wsj.com

In its court filing, the US Department of Justice will name Riza Aziz, stepson of Najib and son of Rosmah; Jho Low, the Malaysian financier who helped set up 1MDB, and Khadem Al Qubaisi, former MD of Abu Dhabi's International Petroleum Investment Co.

Investigators believe at least USD50 million of luxury real estate in New York City and Los Angeles was bought by Najib's stepson using funds originating with 1MDB.Riza Aziz, Najib's stepson bought the two properties from Jho Low, who has even broader investments and dealings in the US.The Journal reported in May how Jho Low had started liquidating an art collection worth at least USD300 million, including the sale of a prized Basquiat painting at a loss.

Meanwhile, Najib, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, will not be named in the complaint, The New York Times reported

Image via Michael Appleton for The New York Times

There are at least 10 countries where probes against 1MDB are currently underway. The US Government's move to asset seizures would be a culminating moment for at least 6 of them.

Image via Bloomberg

The process, however, is quite lengthy

First, a court must make sure that no other interested party has a valid claim to the properties. Once true ownership is determined, the court must decide whether the money used to buy those assets was, in fact, earned illicitly. Only then can the government permanently seize the assets.In the nearer term, the government’s action may increase the political pressure on Mr. Najib, who has been under fire since early 2015, as the Malaysian public has become concerned about the corruption allegations and his rivals have sought to oust him.

Here Are What 10 Politicians And Organisations Had To Say About Najib's Guilty Ruling

Yesterday, 28 July, former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was found guilty of all seven charges related to the SRC International trial

Under High Court Judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, Najib was sentenced to 12 years in jail and fined RM210 million for misappropriating RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd.

After the verdict was announced, people took to social media to express their thoughts.
Here are what 10 politicians and organisations had to say about the results of the SRC International trial:

1. Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak

After being found guilty of all seven corruption charges, Najib conveyed his disappointment to the press. Malay Mail quoted the convicted former prime minister as saying, "I am very disappointed in the judiciary in the SRC case because… my lawyer has made arguments that could raise many doubts about the case although these were not accepted.""However, I hope this case in the Court of Appeal will be heard as soon as possible because I want to continue my effort to clear my name and I will continue this fight," he added.The acting Pekan Member of Parliament (MP) told UMNO Online: "I will not lose hope."

2. Defence lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah

Najib's lead counsel Shafee Abdullah expressed his honest views on the ruling.According to Malay Mail, Shafee said, "This judgment is honest, he (Judge Mohd Nazlan) is an honest man, and he honestly made various mistakes.""My only complaint is that he does not seem to apply the criminal concept and philosophies of criminal law. He seems to have applied a more civil concept.""In criminal law, when there is reasonable doubt in a case, you have to throw the case out, while in civil cases, you do a balancing act, deciding between which person is telling the truth," Shafee claimed.The lawyer added that they will be appealing Najib's conviction and sentencing.

3. Prosecutor Datuk V Sithambaram

Sithambaram, who practised law for more than 30 years, joined the prosecution team early last year."This is a victory for justice. Of course, it's a huge relief for us with the findings of the learned judge," he said.In response to Shafee's assertion that Judge Nazlan had made an "honest mistake", Sithambaram was quoted by Malay Mail as saying, "There is no judge that is not honest. He (Judge Nazlan) has heard the case for 100 days with 57 witnesses from the prosecution and 19 witnesses from the defence."He has read all that and his judgement today was testimony that he has considered all the facts and he has come and made a finding based on fact," he said.

4. Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin

In a statement, Muhyiddin said that the government respects the court's decision. He urged all parties to trust that the country's legal and judicial system are independent and neutral institutions. Bernama quoted the eighth Prime Minister as saying, "I understand the feelings and sentiments of my friends towards the decision that has been made by the court.""Nevertheless, I would like to emphasise that the Perikatan Nasional (PN) Government will always uphold the principle of the rule of law," he said in a statement last night. At the same time, Muhyiddin said the government also recognised Najib's right to appeal against the sentence imposed on him."Let us together give space to the legal process to ensure that justice can be upheld."

5. Former attorney general (AG) Tan Sri Tommy Thomas

The AG, who resigned from his position on 4 March, declined to comment on the SRC International trial after contacted by Malay Mail. "It is not proper for me to comment. I've resigned and that's it. I'm history."

6. United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi

Zahid, who is also the Bagan Datuk MP, told Malaysiakini yesterday: "Surely, we will make a political decision as a result of today's decision.""I hope we will remain calm and be open to any decision that the party will undertake."Though he respected the decision made by Judge Nazlan, he expressed sadness over the verdict."On behalf of UMNO, we abide by the decision the court has made against Najib.""I am also saddened by this decision and believe that Najib is a resilient and brave person,’’ said Zahid on his Facebook.

7. Pakatan Harapan (PH) presidential council

Signed by Parti Keadilan Rakyat president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Parti Amanah Negara president Mohamad Sabu, and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, the statement celebrated the ruling saying, "The result is a great victory for the Malaysian people.""The presidential council would like to thank all parties involved in this process, including the former attorney general who initiated legal proceedings."However, they stressed the need for comprehensive institutional reforms to prevent this from happening in the future."The presidential council is of the view that comprehensive institutional reforms must be implemented to ensure that the political climate that allows for the erosion and damage that occurred during the Barisan Nasional (BN) administration is not repeated."

The 'TangkapNajib' Protest was a peaceful demonstration organised by youth activist group Demi Malaysia in 2015. They called for the resignation of Najib after the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal was exposed. In a Facebook post, Mandeep said, "This was made possible by all of us, Malaysians, together with the strong solidarity from across the globe. We Malaysians did it!""The battle may not be over yet, but this one is one great victory for all of us."The activist had been arrested by the police on 31 July 2015, a day before the TangkapNajib rally was to take place.

10. Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle Brown

Kuching-born journalist Rewcastle Brown wrote extensively about the 1MDB scandal in 2015. Much of the evidence she had uncovered appeared during the trials.Under the Najib administration, Malaysians were blocked access to Sarawak Report. Rewcastle Brown was accused of breaching laws and a warrant was issued for her arrest.When contacted by Malaysiakini, she said, "Of course it felt like a vindication to hear the judge lay out in such clear and precise terms the confirmation of all we have been writing about.""It is no longer 'foreign lies'. It is a solid judgment by a Malaysian judge after months of going through the facts and listening to the arguments.""I hope that now the Malaysian people can be assured, thanks to their courts, that they now know exactly what happened and who was responsible for and profited from this vast, world record theft," she said.

Meanwhile, there is a shortage of supplies for medical personnel working in the front lines.

KPDNHEP wrote, "Irresponsible individuals are taking advantage of this situation where there is a dire need for face masks."

"The face masks were being sold for RM3.50 per piece when the controlled price is RM2.00. The suspect used the social media platform Facebook to advertise the sale of the face masks. Sale method is via WhatsApp and the items are sent to customers by post or cash on delivery (COD) around Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya," they added.

The suspect violated Section 11 of the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011

If found guilty, they can be charged a fine up to RM500,000.Meanwhile, if the accused is not a body corporate or an enterprise, they can face a fine of not more than RM100,000 or up to three years of imprisonment, or both.

EPF Building Fire: 4 Important Things To Know As An EPF Member

A fire broke out at the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) building in Petaling Jaya yesterday, 13 February

Image via @adzman86

It was learned that the fire started at about 11.50am and 40% of the building burnt down in the incident. A total of 70 firefighters and officers worked together to put out the fire in 30 minutes.Initial investigations led authorities to believe that the fire was caused by a spark from maintenance works being done at the building, which ignited the polyethylene cladding - a highly-combustible material if there is a fire source close to it.The Star Online reported Fire and Rescue Department deputy director-general Datuk Soiman Jahid as saying that the cladding panels used on the exterior of the building did not meet fire safety requirements.

Here's what we have learned so far following the fire incident yesterday:

1. EPF assured its members' savings and data are all safe

Image via The Malaysian Times

"The data were never in any danger of being compromised by the fire, as our data servers are in a secured remote location, and supported by world class backup and recovery procedures," EPF said in a statement yesterday.

2. A viral message claiming that members cannot make any withdrawals for six months is actually fake

Image via Oll Tompock/Facebook

The message which has been circulating on WhatsApp claims that KWSP (the acronym for EPF in Malay) members will not be able to make withdrawals in the next six months due to "restoration works".However, EPF has debunked the matter in its official statement that the message is false, and that it did not originate from EPF.

Image via KWSP

3. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has warned the public not to spread false rumours about the fire incident

MCMC has reminded people that action can be taken against those who spread fake news, as per Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act for improper use of network facilities or network service. "In this regard, the public is reminded not to share, distribute, upload or trust any form of content that has not yet been verified. Instead, refer the matter to the authorities or official sources," MCMC said in a statement, as reported by Free Malaysia Today.

4. Operations at the EPF building in PJ will be shut down temporarily

Image via KOSMO

According to EPF, all systems are not affected and business is operating as usual for all function, although the EPF Petaling Jaya branch will be temporarily closed until further notice. Meanwhile, EPF members have been advised to obtain services or perform any transactions in other branches or via i-Akaun.Additionally, members may call the EPF contact management centre at +603-8922 6000 or forward their enquiries to http://enquiry.kwsp.gov.my.

Friday's intensely furious chase drama has finally come to its end with the arrests of two men, who were captured on video ramming their Proton Waja into other vehicles at a traffic light to escape from cops

Initially, the duo, who were reportedly trying to escape Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) officers, managed to speed off by ramming and squeezing between a lorry and a Perodua Myvi.Cops were chasing them as they were suspected of having been in possession of heroin.While a 35-year-old man, who was behind the wheels, was arrested in the Desa Aman residential area, another suspect, who is in his 40s, was finally caught at about 11.45pm last night, 26 February.

Of the two, one was identified as Bob Mah Sing

He has 14 drug-related records and six criminal records."We have caught Bob Mah Sing. This morning we will apply for a remand order for both," Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal was quoted as saying by Malay Mail today, 27 February.He added that Bob was nabbed in an apartment at Seksyen U5, Shah Alam.

Police released a CCTV image of the suspect Bob Mah Sing.

Lambang Ikonik 'Drinking Horse' Di Pantai Tusan Runtuh. Pembinaan Jalan Jadi Punca?

Tusan Cliff, salah satu tarikan pelancongan di Miri, Sarawak dilaporkan telah runtuh pada malam 21 Februari 2020

Ahli Parlimen Sibuti, Luka Nis Man Awang Sauni mengesahkan perkara ini menerusi sebuah posting di Facebook. Beliau yang pada mulanya menyangkakan berita ini palsu berasa amat sedih apabila mendapati lambang ikonik itu sudah tidak kelihatan di Pantai Tusan."Saya terus ke Tusan dan saya ingin mengesahkan bahawa struktur Drinking Horse Tusan Cliff adalah berita benar. Saya amat bersedih atas kehilang ikon Tusan yang menjadi tarikan pengunjung selama ini," tulis beliau.

Tebing ini dikenali sebagai 'Drinking Horse' kerana strukturnya menyerupai kepala kuda seakan-akan sedang minum air

Image via BERNAMA

Dalam pada itu, Luka Nis Man ingin mendapatkan penerangan daripada pihak berkuasa tentang bagaimana struktur megah ini boleh runtuh."Pantai Tusan menjadi viral apabila kemunculan Blue Tears beberapa tahun lepas dan sebaik sahaja viral, Pantai Tusan menerima pelawat dan menjana ekonomi setempat."Drinking Horse juga telah menjadi tempat insta-worthy yang sering dimuat naik di media sosial. Terasa satu kehilangan keindahan semula jadi yang sukar untuk diganti," tulis beliau lagi.

Blue Tears di Pantai Tusan

Apa puncanya? Pengerusi Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), Musa Musbah percaya struktur itu runtuh akibat pembinaan jalan dan tembok di kawasan tersebut.

Memetik laporan Utusan Borneo, Musa berkata pembinaan jalan ke pantai berdekatan Tusan Cliff itu dibuat bertujuan memudahkan jentera turun bagi membuat benteng pemecah ombak berdekatan struktur itu.“Bagaimanapun pembinaan jalan itu menyebabkan batu pasir yang lembut menjadi seperti span dan melongsor jatuh mengikut kecuraman 45 darjah itu.“Pada pendapat saya, perundingan geologi hendaklah dibuat sebelum membuat jalan tersebut,” katanya.

Tahun lepas, Timbalan Menteri Pelancongan, Kesenian dan Kebudayaan, Datuk Lee Kim Shin memberi keutamaan untuk menyelamatkan Tusan Cliff daripada musnah

Datuk Lee Kim Shin (tengah) bersama para kontraktor

Pada Ogos 2019, Lee berkata pihak kontraktor sedang membina jalan masuk ke pantai supaya benteng penghadang untuk melindungi Tusan Cliff dapat dibina."Saya sudah menekankan perkara ini pada permulaan projek kerana kita perlu melindungi 'Kepala Kuda' tersebut sebelum ia terhakis. Jalan masuk diperlukan untuk membawa batu ke bawah bagi membina tembok penghadang."Tanpa 'Kepala Kuda', Pantai Tusan akan kehilangan tarikannya. Sebab itulah kami memberi keutamaan untuk menyelamatkannya, kerana inilah yang menjadikan Pantai Tusan terkenal," kata Lee.

Tusan Cliff kini tiada lagi.

LinkedIn Launches Chinese-Language Site Named Ling Ying With Government Censorship

LinkedIn is launching a Chinese-language site (currently in beta testing) for the world's most populous internet market

LinkedIn already had an English version of the site available in China with more than 4 million users (it will still remain in use), according to a company blog post.

        mashable.com

The Simplified Chinese version of Linkedin, 领英, is in beta testing right now.
Image via slate.com

The social network said it hopes to ultimately "connect over 140 million Chinese professionals" with its new site — that's roughly half of its current worldwide user base of 277 million.

        networkworld.com

While the beta test of the site, lingying.com, has gone live, its registration is currently invitation-only.

        technode.com

The idea behind launching the Chinese-version of LinkedIn is to make it easier for native Chinese speakers to use the social business network

Image via technode.com

The Chinese name of LinkedIn turns out to be Ling Ying （领英）– the two Chinese characters mean leading and elite, respectively.

        networkworld.com

By launching the site, the company has also agreed to follow China's controversial regulations on censorship

The announcement has come under fire already, with reaction to Weiner's online admission that the company has agreed to cooperate with Chinese authorities on data storage and censorship.

        cnn.com

Image via netdna-cdn.com

Though it's not completely clear how LinkedIn will enforce government-imposed restrictions, Weiner promised three things: to implement restrictions on content only when required, to be transparent in its dealings with China, and to protect the rights and data of members.

        recode.net

It's worth noting that even before the Simplified Chinese site, LinkedIn was one of the only U.S.-based social networks that the Chinese government allowed access to in China

Facebook, Twitter, Google, and many other Internet services remain blocked in mainland China.

        techcrunch.com

Image via mshcdn.com

It seems that LinkedIn was blocked for a day in February 2011, though there was never an official government statement about it, because the government was concerned that information about pro-democracy protests were spreading too quickly, inspired by action contributing to the Arab Spring.

Khairy To Sue Rafizi For Spreading "Fake News" On Nomination Day Disqualification

BN Youth chairman Khairy Jamaluddin has revealed his intentions to take PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli to court over allegations that he was involved in the Election Commission's (EC) decision to disqualify Dr S Streram on nomination day, 28 April

Image via Malay Mail

According to Bernama, Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Mohamad Hasan won the Rantau state seat uncontested after Streram was barred from entering the nomination centre to file his papers as he was without the candidate's pass required by the EC.

BACULMat Hassan & RO manipulasi dengan menggunakan @PDRMsia halang calon PH kemukakan borang pencalonan.Mat Hassan diumum menang tanpa bertanding kerana calon PH dihalang.Kita akan tetap lawan smpai BN tumbang.@Khairykj jg bertanggungjawab— Rafizi Ramli (@rafiziramli) April 28, 2018

Rafizi Ramli took to his Twitter account to make his views on the controversy known.

Khairy, who is the BN candidate for the Rembau parliamentary seat, said that this particular comment is more serious than the other remarks Rafizi has said about him in the past as it involves the integrity of GE14

"I will take action against Rafizi. This is a serious matter as I am an election candidate. This is about the credibility of the election in Rembau, and I'm going to drag him to court," he told reporters on Saturday, 28 April.

Khairy called Rafizi's spread of the accusation via his social media accounts "baseless", and thus an offence under the Anti-Fake News Act 2018

Image via Malay Mail

"I want him to be brought to justice because he has many defamation cases, the latest being the (Dr Streram) case in Rantau. Let the courts decide," he said."If Rafizi does not retract the defamatory remarks he made against me, then I will file a defamation suit against him," he said.

According to BN Youth chief, Rafizi also stirred racial sentiments among Indian voters by inciting them to "punish" BN for Dr Streram's disqualification

Cara terbaik berhadapan dgn muslihat BN ialah dgn menghukum mereka kerana menipu.Mat Hassan mungkin menang percuma skrg.Tp pengundi N9 mesti hukum BN supaya hilang satu negeri & @Khairykj kalah di Rembau.KJ akan kalah bila 60% undi India kpd PH— Rafizi Ramli (@rafiziramli) April 28, 2018

Pengundi India Seluruh Negara Perlu Hukum Permainan Kotor Barisan Nasional https://t.co/qpxCxTbw6A— Rafizi Ramli (@rafiziramli) April 28, 2018

"This is an extremely irresponsible act...playing with racial sentiments. PKR is said to be a multiracial party but yesterday Rafizi proved that he was a politician willing to bank on racial sentiments," said Khairy, according to Bernama.He added that, "I hope that the Indians will not easily fall for this racial game by PKR but will continue to support me and other BN candidates in the state and the Rembau parliamentary constituency for my service to the constituents."

“Awak Sembur, Saya Saman!” - Seorang Lelaki Dakwa Asap ‘Fogging’ Punca Pokok Bunganya Mati

Apabila berlaku wabak demam denggi di sesebuah kawasan, pihak berwajib akan mengarahkan petugas untuk membuat semburan asap atau yang biasa kita panggil sebagai fogging

Dan sebagai seorang rakyat yang prihatin serta bimbang akan keselamatan diri dan orang lain, sudah pasti kita akan cuba untuk memberikan kerjasama kepada petugas-petugas ini.Tapi, lain pula yang terjadi apabila seorang lelaki bertindak memarahi petugas yang bertanggungjawab membuat semburan asap di kawasan perumahan tempat beliau tinggal. Malah, beliau turut memberi amaran akan menyaman pihak terbabit sekiranya semburan tetap dilakukan. Tindakan beliau ini adalah berpunca daripada salah faham beliau tentang semburan asap sebelum ini yang dikatakan telah menyebabkan pokok-pokok bunga yang ditanamnya mati.Ikuti perkongsian penuh dari Mat Yoe berkenaan pengalaman beliau ini:

Image via Flickr

"Awak sembur rumah saya, saya saman awak!"Pemilik rumah telah menghalang saya dan anggota saya dari menjalankan aktiviti fogging di luar kawasan rumah beliau.Dakwanya, semburan yang kami lakukan sebelum ini telah menyebabkan tanaman beliau mati. Beliau juga tidak mahu sedikit asap pun terkena tanaman beliau.Semburan yang pihak kami lakukan pada petang itu adalah jenis asap (oil-based) dan sememangnya kami tidak berdaya untuk menahan angin daripada menyebarkan semburan asap tersebut ke merata tempat walaupun pihak kami menutup nozzle dalam jarak 50 meter dari rumah beliau.Walaupun diberikan penerangan, lelaki tersebut tetap berkeras untuk menyaman pihak kami dan tidak membenarkan anggota saya melintasi kawasan rumah beliau.Seperti yang anda semua lihat, tanaman beliau berada di kaki lima dan juga rezab jalan yang mana tanah tersebut adalah hak milik pihak berkuasa tempatan.

Image via imgur.com

Membina binaan kekal dan juga meletakkan halangan di hadapan rumah seperti di dalam gambar adalah menyalahi undang-undang mengikut Akta Perumahan, Akta Jalan, Parit dan juga Bangunan. Seksyen 46(1) (a) AJPB 1974 (Akta133).Binaan ini boleh diambil tindakan oleh Majlis Perbandaran dan juga Jabatan Pengurusan Sisa Pepejal merangkumi denda dan juga tindakan merobohkan semua binaan terbabit.Pihak Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia juga berkuasa untuk memusnahkan semua tanaman ini mengikut APSPP 1975 yang mana boleh diklasifikasikan sebagai tanaman yang boleh membiak serta memberikan perlindungan kepada serangga pembawa penyakit.Jika mahu, saya boleh mensabitkan kesalahan tuan rumah dengan undang-undang jenayah iaitu:1. Menghalang tugas penjawat awam - Seksyen 186, kanun keseksaan (penjara 2 tahun, denda RM10 ribu ringgit atau kedua-duanya sekali).2. Mengeluarkan kata-kata yang tidak sopan - Seksyen 14, Akta 326 (penjara 7 hari, denda RM100).3. Ugutan jenayah - Seksyen 56, kanun keseksaan (penjara sehingga 7 tahun atau denda RM10 ribu ringgit).

Image via OSH The Journey

Diharapkan kita semua tidak mementingkan diri sendiri kerana buruk kesannya kepada orang lain khususnya masyarakat setempat.Fogging yang pihak kami lakukan ini adala bertujuan untuk membunuh nyamuk dewasa dan kami sebolehnya mahu seluruh premis dalam radius 20 meter dari rumah kes dibuat semburan selengkapnya di dalam dan juga diluar premis.Jangan hanya kerana anda, semburan lengkap tidak dapat dilakukan dan ada nyawa yang akan terkorban.Tanpa mengambil kira ugutan tersebut, semburan tetap dapat dilakukan di luar kawasan rumah beliau. Fogging tamat sepenuhnya tanpa ada sebarang perkara tidak diingini berlaku.


[VIDEO] Teruja Nak Tunggu Barang 'Order' Sampai, Tapi Lain Pula Yang Dapat

Umum mengetahui Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) 2.0 menyebabkan perjalanan kita terbatas

Baik daripada makanan mahu pun barangan peribadi.Namun, kadangkala pembelian secara dalam talian boleh menyebabkan risiko penipuan yang tinggi daripada penjualnya. Sama seperti video yang tular baru-baru ini di TikTok apabila wanita ini tersalah membeli barang tanpa menyelidiknya dulu.Lihat video penuh itu di bawah:

11 Things About Kaamatan And Gawai You Should Know Before Going To Sabah Or Sarawak

From Chinese New Year to Hari Raya, Deepavali to Christmas, we Malaysians love to celebrate the rich diversity and cultures of our beautiful nation

And no one celebrates the Malaysian spirit quite like Petronas <33>We look forward to Petronas short films for every festivity, and they certainly delivered this Kaamatan and Gawai! Watch it here:

The short film gives us all kinds of warm fuzzies, spreading its message of never taking what we have for granted and always appreciating the sacrifices of others in making our lives better.It also raises awareness of Kaamatan and Gawai, which are so important to Malaysian culture <3

So, what exactly are Kaamatan and Gawai? Here are 11 things you should know about the festivals that are celebrated throughout Sabah and Sarawak:

1. Kaamatan is a harvest festival celebrated annually in the state of Sabah

Image via Pinterest

Kaamatan is a Kadazan-Dusun term for "harvest" and is celebrated for the whole month of May. It is normally celebrated by the ethnic Kadazan-Dusuns, as well as by other related ethnic groups in the state. It's a joyous occasion for friends and family when everyone makes time to appreciate each other.

2. There’s a myth behind the Tadau Kaamatan celebrations and it’s pretty amazing…

Image via Sorita Siurang

The belief is that Kinoingan, a God, took pity towards the people who were suffering from a great famine. In order to save the people, he sacrificed his daughter, Huminodun, and sowed her over the land and padi. The crops were harvested and the people were saved. It is believed that the spirit of Huminodun is embodied in the rice and is therefore known as Bambarayon or Bambazon.

3. The Kadazan Priestess called Bobohizan determines the official harvest festival date and officiates it

Image via Travel Blog

The Bobohizan plays an important role in the festival, which consist of several ceremonies. These ceremonies include tying 7 stalks of rice together and placing them in a tadang or basket, and moving them into a rice hut. Each ceremony is important and ensure the farmers will be able to harvest again in the next planting season.The Humabot Ceremony is the closing ceremony, which happens on the last day of Kaamatan. It includes a variety of activities, entertainment, dances, food, and delicacies throughout the day.

4. On the last day of celebrations, the Harvest Festival Queen or Unduk Ngadau is crowned

The Unduk Ngadau beauty pageant is held to commemorate the spirit of Huminodun. The title comes from Runduk Tadau, which means 'the girl crowned by the sunlight.'Meet last year's winner, Miss Sherry Anne Laujang!

From home-brewed rice wine called tapai and lihing, to local delicacies like hinava (raw fish marinated in lime and citrus), bambangan (a seasonal wild mango fruit) and butod (sago grub), the delicacies are endless!

6. Traditional dances like Sumazau, Sumirid, and Magunatip are performed

Image via Sabah di Bawah Bayu

Sumazau is the traditional folk dance of the Kadazan Dusun. The dance is inspired by eagle flying patterns witnessed by farmers in the field during harvest season.It is one of the most important dances and an absolute must-do during Kaamatan.Meanwhile, Magunatip, also known as the Bamboo Dance, gets progressively faster and faster as the dance goes on, leaving both the audience and dancers out of breath!

Duiiii dogo! Check out them skills :O

7. Meanwhile, Gawai Dayak is an annual festival celebrated in Sarawak

8. It takes 4-5 months to grow a grain of rice, and Gawai marks the end of the harvest

Image via PETRONASOfficial

We often don't think about the amount of time and hard work that goes into the rice in our bowls, kan? It's no wonder Gawai is such an important celebration of a harvest that many of us take for granted :'( The festival celebrates unity, aspiration, and hope. It is celebrated by many different ethnic groups such as Iban, Bidayuh, Kenyah, Kelabit, and Murut.

9. Drinking tuak, the locally brewed rice wine, is a tradition during the festival

Image via Darwin Boy Sxander / Flickr

It is brewed at least one month before the Gawai Dayak and brewed from glutinous rice mixed with homemade yeast. It is offered as a welcome drink to any guest who visits their longhouse.It's a big part of Gawai ;)

10. Special food and drinks are prepared for the festival

Traditional treats are prepared from glutinous rice flour mixed with sugar, such as sarang semut (ant nest cake), cuwan (molded cake), kui sepit (twisted cake), and penganan iri (a discus-shaped cake).On Gawai eve, glutinous rice is roasted in bamboo known as ngelulun pulut, along with a multitude of traditional dishes such as pansoh manok, chicken and lemongrass cooked in a bamboo log over an open fire.

11. The traditional dance Ngajat is performed during the celebration

The male dancers wear large feathers as part of their headgear, hold an ornate and long shield in their hand with chains, beads and a loincloth called the ‘cawat’. The female dancers have an elaborate headdress, chains, beads and a ‘dress’ that reaches to below their knees with intricate weaving.

If you've never experienced Kaamatan or Gawai, it's time to add them to your bucket list!

Image via Amazing Borneo

The momentous celebration of culture and heritage is what makes these festivals so special. At the core of the harvest festival lies the story of patience, diligence, and hard work. It's where our rice bowl comes from, not just literally, but figuratively too <3

It's a timely reminder to never forget your roots and always appreciate those that came before you. So, from all of us...

Here's How A New Prime Minister Gets Sworn In According To The Federal Constitution

Earlier today, 10 May, Barisan Nasional president Datuk Seri Najib Razak said at a press conference that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong will decide on the new Prime Minister

Image via Malaysiakini

Speaking at the Putra World Trade Centre, Najib claimed that the decision is up to the Agong as no party has obtained a simple majority in the parliament.Malaysiakini reported him as saying that the Agong will decide based on whoever he believes will have the confidence of most MPs.This morning, Pakatan Harapan was declared the winner of the 14th General Election (GE14), enabling them to form the federal government.

His statement came after news broke that Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's inauguration as the new Prime Minister has been cancelled today

Image via Free Malaysia Today

Bernama reported that the swearing in ceremony for Mahathir will not be held at the Istana Negara today.However, Mahathir was later quoted as saying by Bernama that a federal government has to be formed by today, 10 May.

According to Article 43 of the Federal Constitution, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has to appoint a Prime Minister before choosing a cabinet of ministers

Article 43(2) in the Constitution states that the Agong shall appoint a Prime Minister to preside over the Cabinet, who he thinks is likely to command the confidence of most MPs.After that, with the advice of the Prime Minister, the Agong will appoint other ministers from members of either House of Parliament.

However, if a Prime Minister fails to command the confidence of most MPs, he shall resign from the Cabinet

According to Article 43(4), the Prime Minister shall resign from the Cabinet unless the Agong decides to dissolve the Parliament.Nonetheless, if a Prime Minister was appointed while the Parliament remains dissolved, he shall not continue to hold office after the next session of Parliament begins unless he has been made MP.

The Straits Times reported that Mahathir hopes to be able to form the federal government by 5pm today.

Following a historical win, Mahathir emphasised that his government will not seek "revenge" on Najib:

                Tun M: "We Are Not Seeking Revenge. We Just Want To Restore The Rule Of Law."

The PH coalition will form the federal government after having secured a simple majority.

HTC One M8 Vs Samsung Galaxy S5: Which Should You Get?

The new HTC One doesn't match the GS5 feature-for-feature, especially when it comes to Samsung's hardware and software extras, but some argues  that it has the stuff to make you think twice about getting the Galaxy S5. Let's find out.

HTC One M8 Vs Samsung Galaxy S5
Image via gizbot.com

HTC One M8 is of superior build. It flashes slight seams and a higher-quality all-metal body in the face of Samsung Galaxy S5's basic plastic parts

Image via ndtv.com

It also helps that the new One's aluminum build gently curves in the back, CNET reviewer Brian Bennett describes, which helps nestle it into your palm. Only the dark gray shade has the brushed sheen of last year's model, but all three metallic hues share just enough gleam and weight to feel next-level premium alongside the GS5.

        cnet.com

Samsung Galaxy S5

Both M8 and GS5 uses Super AMOLED and Super LCD 3,  the two most advanced in display technology used among mobile devices due to power saving and backlighting

Image via futurecdn.net

The Galaxy S5 handset comes with a 5.1 inches screen, (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) resolution.  However, HTC One (M8) is only slightly smaller with 5 inches, (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) resolution.

While, Super LCD 3 on HTC One M8 allows it to be easily viewed under bright lights or direct sunlight

Both the M8 and Galaxy S5 are packed with more-or-less evenly matched high-flying specs. Samsung's phone does have the slight upper hand when it comes to the higher capacity processor and battery, though the M8 has the much higher-resolution front-facing camera and slightly higher pixel density.

While both the phone uses Adreno 330 and runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat, they differ in respective user interface. HTC One M8 comes with Sense 6.0 with BlinkFeed social app, Samsung Galaxy S5 uses TouchWiz UI with updated Galaxy S services

HTC's interpretation of Android, and Sense 6.0 continues in the same vein with just a few variations on Sense 5.0. The interface looks rich and lush with clean, stylish graphics and font that come across modern without being sterile. A few tiny changes include releasing the BlinkFeed newsfeed from its previous position as the default home screen, and adding color-coordinated UI themes.

For its part, Samsung's slightly revised TouchWiz interface also cleans up, and the interface is easy to navigate. Samsung does pile the most customizations on top of Android, like Smart Stay and a heap of motion gestures.

On the camera front, the M8 builds in modes and effects like selective focus, 3D effect, HDR, the return of the Zoe video feature, and the ability to record HD video at 60 frames per second. Samsung's camera is equally on par, and tucks in even more modes for fringe use cases.

The Galaxy S5 features a 16-megapixel camera, along with some cool software features like Live Preview, which allows you to see a photo with a filter or HDR before you snap it. And Samsung claims it has the world’s fastest autofocus in as quick as 0.3 seconds.

The HTC One M8, on the other hand, has the same 4-megapixel “UltraPixel” camera as the original HTC One. The idea is that the phone uses larger pixels to capture more light, rather than more detail. So while you might not be able to shoot a sharper picture than the Galaxy S5, in theory you can get a better shot in lower light.

HTC has added a second rear sensor, which allows you to change the focus on pictures after you take them. And the phone has a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, which means you should be able to take some of the sharpest selfies possible.

Speaking about the notable extras, the GS5 once again comes out on top when it comes to gee-whiz features like the Fingerprint Scanner and Heart-Rate Monitor, and those are indeed feature extras that HTC's M8 doesn't even begin to offer

As mentioned above, the Galaxy S5 has a heart rate monitor, which is great for fitness buffs. It also has a fingerprint scanner that allows you to unlock the phone, like the iPhone 5s, though it might not be quite as easy to use.

The M8, on the other hand, offers a wide range of motion controls that automatically detect when you pick up the phone. This lets you unlock the device or perform a number of other tasks without even needing to hit the power button.

Each phone costs the same and picking a winner is harder to call than pretty much any other comparison. But that’s a good thing. Both of these phones share many similar features, and both represent the best of Android right now.

If you’re more interested in good design and snapping selfies, the HTC One is a better choice, thanks to its stunning build and high-resolution front-facing camera.

But if you’re looking for a handset to replace your digital camera, the 16-megapixel Galaxy S5 is likely to offer a better overall photo experience. These phones are sure to inspire plenty of debate, but ultimately, you won’t be disappointed with either.
