Upon making the transaction, it did not go through. According to a statement by Melaka police chief Datuk Zainol Samah, the victim was then asked to pay in cash after the cleaning service was done, as reported by The Star.30 minutes later, however, the victim got a notification informing her that a transaction of RM4,700 was made from her account to a third party account without her knowledge and consent.

That was when the victim realised she got scammed, and quickly lodged a report at at the Kuala Sungai Baru police station

The police chief said that the case is currently being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. According to Zainol, the Melaka Contingent has only received one case involving this particular scam tactic, but still advises the public to be wary of online offers provided by unverified parties. "As a precautionary measure, people are asked not to easily believe advertisements on social media, and not to download or install APKs sent directly to the phone by unknown individuals," he said, according to Free Malaysia Today.

Wanna Have Strong & Healthy Hair? Here Are 7 Do's & Don'ts You Should Take Note Of

1. DON'T: Backcomb your hair

Image via All Things Hair

Backcombing may give your hair more volume, but it can also be damaging. Most women's hair cuticles point downwards, so if you're constantly backcombing your hair, you're tugging it towards the opposite direction, which makes it loose before eventually breaking off. If you wanna add volume, use gentle styling products to temporarily lift your hair.

2. DO: Leave your conditioner in longer

Image via Allure

Conditioner works by moisturising your hair and providing your scalp with necessary nutrients, so make sure to give it enough time to soak in and set properly. While waiting, you can do other beauty treatments, so that you can wash everything off in one go once you're done.

3. DON'T: Wash your hair with hot water

Image via Allure

Heat is your hair's enemy, as it damages your hair and dehydrates it, making it brittle and frizzy. Additionally, hot water can also strip your hair's natural oils, causing your scalp to dry out and form dandruff. Shower with cold or lukewarm water, as this temperature helps to retain the moisture in your hair. Plus, cold water also closes the pores, preventing any form of dirt, buildup, or oil from entering your scalp.

4. DO: Dab your wet hair gently with an old t-shirt or microfibre towel

Image via @torwai (iStock)

You may not see it now, but rubbing your wet head with a towel adds pressure to your roots and scalp, which will likely cause your hair to become weak and brittle. What you can do instead is dab your hair gently with an old t-shirt or microfibre towel, both of which are gentle on your hair and absorb water faster. Plus, they cause less friction to your scalp as well, preventing your hair from looking frizzy and dry.

5. DON'T: Use too many hair products

Image via @freepik (Freepik)

We get it, you use different oils, serums, conditioners, and more in your attempt to make sure your hair is luscious and healthy. However, this may backfire instead, as using too many products can cause buildup, resulting in your scalp getting irritated. To prevent this, determine which products you truly need and stick to them. If you must have multiple options, use them sparingly.

6. DO: Brush your hair before you shower

Image via All Things Hair

You know how your hair sometimes gets tangled after you shower? And then you'll have to susah payah untangle your hair knots while it's still wet. This is damaging to your hair because you end up tugging it while showering, resulting in hair breakage. Instead, brush your hair to untangle any knots before you step into the shower. It may seem tedious, but it can work wonders. You'll notice that it's so much easier to wash your hair, plus you'll end up having smoother hair too!

7. DON'T: Wear the same hairstyle every day

Image via @dragonimages (Freepik)

Styling your hair the same way or wearing the same hairstyle can damage your hair strands and make it look frizzy. To preserve your hair, you need to let it rest every once in a while. Let your hair loose every other day. Or, if you must wear your hair up, tie it up differently or opt for another hairstyle. One of the least damaging hairstyles is a loose ponytail.

Ultimately, taking good care of your hair is important. You're not only keeping it clean, but also making sure it's healthy and nourished!

Tributes Pour In For Malaysian Poet Salleh Ben Joned Who Passed Away At 79

Malaysian poet Salleh Ben Joned has died at the age of 79

According to a statement posted by his family on his Facebook account, Salleh died at 1.21am early Thursday, 29 October, from heart failure."He was experiencing breathing difficulties on Tuesday at his home in Subang Jaya and was warded at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre," the family said in the statement.Final rites' prayers were held at the Masjid Abu Bakar As-Siddiq in Subang Jaya this morning, and Salleh would then be laid to rest at the USJ 22 Muslim cemetery.In the statement, the family said that only close relatives were allowed for the prayers and burial due to the conditional movement control order (CMCO) regulations.

Considered to be the bad boy of Malaysian poetry, Salleh was well known for his explicit poems and essays in Malaysian literature

He was born in Melaka in 1941.According to New Straits Times, his first book was a bilingual poetry collection "Sajak-Sajak Saleh", followed by "As I Please", which was compiled from his popular column in the English newspaper.Salleh had also starred in several films.

Several have since taken to the Internet to remember the late poet

"You know — I always thought of Salleh Ben Joned as the type of person who would be around always. Fearless, vital. How sad, now, to live in the world and know he is no longer in it," said Malaysian author Hanna Alkaf.Meanwhile, Malaysiakini journalist Aidila Razakr recalled when she was 14 and a teacher had given her Salleh's poem to read, which left her "intrigued and scandalised".

Beloved, irreverent poet Salleh Ben Joned has passed away.At 14, a teacher gave me his poem to read. It was called A Hymn To My Sarong. I remember being both intrigued and scandalised. Here's an ABC podcast abt him.https://t.co/aOooJMKyHFhttps://t.co/uamfCxeLc9— Aidila Razak (@aidilarazak) October 29, 2020

Others recounted how meeting Salleh opened a whole new world to them.

Salam Pak Salleh Ben Joned.It was an honour to be a guest at your house and perform some of my more daring poems in front of you. I wouldn't have had the guts to do so if I didn't know you were a kindred rebellious spirit yourself. So thank you for paving the way.Al-Fatihah.— Nana (avatar by @tet5uo on Tumblr) (@NaNawrote) October 29, 2020

Meeting Salleh Ben Joned as a teenager was like tasting alcohol for the first time: an experience that opened a world.This is a loss.https://t.co/I6GfKuHoGZ https://t.co/s7lfhcXKpD— Zedeck Siew (@zedecksiew) October 29, 2020

Salleh Ben Joned was singular talent and it was a privilege to be on this earth while his star was shining. Rest now, thank you for letting your light remain with us.— Kapten Kahan (@zarakahan) October 29, 2020

Rest in power

Today Malaysia lost a truly great artist - poet, playwright, disruptor of the peace and status quo. A brilliant, curious, restless mind. Rest in peace Salleh.

Tourists Give Constructive Feedback About Travelling In KL & M'sians Couldn't Agree More

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

Tourism is just like any product, whereby manufacturers should always listen to their customers in order to stay competitive in the market

Image via Nothing Familiar

Therefore, it is vital for Malaysia to listen to what tourists have to say about travelling in the country, so that we can improve in our standing against neighbouring countries

In a video published by Thailand-based YouTuber Chai Travel on 2 March, the travel vlogger asked random tourists leaving Malaysia at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) about their travelling experiences in the country.Four groups of travellers spoke to Chai for the video, and one of them talked about Kuala Lumpur's poor walkability and the inconvenience of getting e-hailing rides."People are very friendly, everyone wants to help you, which is good. Food is epic. You've got a bit of Indian, a bit of Chinese, [and] a bit of Malay food. It's really cool," began a tourist from London, named Ben, with what he loved about the country."The only thing I found difficult in KL was that it's not easy to get around. For foreigners, walking is not that great."So, you'll be walking for a minute and all of a sudden, there's no pavement. You have to get a Grab or something," he shared.The Londoner continued that getting an e-hailing ride can be tricky sometimes as it would take between 20 and 30 minutes to get a ride, advising other tourists to schedule their rides ahead.

For Jane and Christine from Australia, they said the best thing about Kuala Lumpur was... satay

The duo said that the locals are friendly and the city feels safe, adding a pearl of wisdom that any city in the world would have an area that is not safe, so everyone should "use your brains about it".Next was Paul and Jen from England, who commented on Batu Caves' cleanliness issue. They saw trash laying around the temple grounds, a similar observation shared by several other tourists Chai interviewed.Paul also mentioned that crossing Malaysian roads was nerve-wracking for him as motorbikes do not obey traffic lights."Basically, (you got to) get a local on the other side of you, between you and the cars, and you'd feel a bit safer," he said while chuckling after commending the country for its friendly citizens and variety of places to explore.

In a separate video, Chai interviewed a Danish couple who were mildly dissatisfied with Langkawi as many restaurants did not serve beer.They also complained that the hotel in Bukit Bintang they stayed at was very far away from attractions, though it was established that it could be an isolated experience due to their poor choice of hotel selection.As for Nicolas, a business traveller from France, he lauded the country for its diversity, saying, "Nothing is perfect. But it seems things are going quite well."

At the time of writing, most of Chai's videos where he interviewed tourists in Malaysia have garnered over 100,000 views each

"Making KL more walkable will enhance its beauty and attractiveness," read a top comment.More netizens opined on the subject, with many sharing the same sentiment.

Image via YouTube

"'Motorbikes don't obey the red lights.' That's the most honest statement," wrote a YouTube user.Meanwhile, many netizens also agreed with travellers about the cleanliness issue at Batu Caves, wishing the city council and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture will take action on the long-standing problem.

M'sian Bakat List #4: This Teen Solved A Rubik’s Cube Blindfolded In 30 Seconds

Anyone who has handled a Rubik's Cube knows how frustrating and difficult the puzzle can be

You succeed in placing a handful of pieces, only to see that work unravel as you focus on the next section...

While most of us struggle with solving just one side of the Rubik's Cube, this Malaysian teen managed to solve the cube in 30 seconds... BLINDFOLDED

Ainesh (left) practicing while a friend looks on
Image via Ainesh Sevellaraja's Facebook

His name is Ainesh Sevellaraja, a regular and well-known competitor in speed cubing. Speedcubing is the activity of Rubik's Cube puzzles in the shortest amount of time. Sevellaraja has set multiple records but none can compare to the one he has set recently in London.

At the annual North London Open, Sevellaraja took part in the 3x3 blindfolded challenge

Image via Ainesh Sevellaraja

The North London Open was held from 30 April to 1 May. For context, there are different variations of Rubik's Cube - the 2×2×2 (Pocket/Mini Cube), the standard 3×3×3 cube, the 4×4×4 (Rubik's Revenge/Master Cube), and the 5×5×5 (Professor's Cube). The standard 3x3x3 cube is most commonly used today.

He started out by analysing the cube...

Many speedcubers have great visual memory which is why some of them can solve blindfolded.

.... Before putting on the blindfold

Image via Ainesh Sevellaraja

Aaaand off he goes! Just look at his lighting-fast fingers.

Image via Ainesh Sevellaraja

The judge had to put a paper over his blindfold just to make sure he can't see.

Not only did he aced the challenge, he had set a Malaysian national record for solving a 3x3x3 cube in 30.66 seconds!

Towels, Running Shoes, And 8 More Items You Probably Didn’t Know Had Expiration Dates

It is pretty easy to know when you should throw something out if the expiration date is clearly printed

Image via PSU

However, can items that do not have any expiration date become expired too? Here are some items you probably want to throw out soon:

1. Pillows: Two to three years

Images for illustration purposes only.
Image via Unsplash

Over time, that thing you use to sleep on every night collects piles and piles of your saliva and dust.If you're waking up in the morning sneezing, it could be from the dust on your pillow.Over time, pillows start to lose shape and support. This can cause neck pain.

2. Running shoes: Six months to a year

Images for illustration purposes only.
Image via Unsplash

The National Institute of Health (NIH) recommends changing your shoes every six months to one year, as shoes lose shock absorption, cushioning, and stability over time, which could lead to an injury.Even shoes sitting in the back of your closet expire. They just take a bit longer.If you're doing three workout sessions a week, you should be getting new shoes every three to five months.

3. Spices: Three years

Images for illustration purposes only.
Image via Unsplash

Different spices have different expiry dates. The expiry dates also change depending on if the spices are ground or dried.For example, ground tumeric lasts for two to three years, but dried turmeric lasts a bit longer. Beyond their expiration date, spices start to lose their colour and taste, which defeats the purpose of adding them to your food.Click on the link to view a complete list of expiration dates for spices.

4. Towels: Three years

Images for illustration purposes only.

Are your towels not effective for absorbing water anymore?That might be a sign it is expired.Wet towels are the perfect environment for bacteria to grow. Even washing it will not get rid of the bacteria completely.

5. Toothbrushes: Three months

Images for illustration purposes only.
Image via Unsplash

A good indicator is when the bristles are bent and out of shape.Beyond this point, the toothbrush will not be as effective to use.Pro tip: use your old toothbrushes for cleaning other household items or hard to reach areas.

6. Makeup sponges: Three months

Images for illustration purposes only.
Image via Cult Beauty

Makeup sponges do not have a very long shelf life. Beauty Blender explicitly states on their website, their makeup sponge is only meant to last three months.If your skin starts to break out, you can bet it's time to replace your makeup sponge.We understand makeup sponges are expensive, so the cheaper alternative is to use silicon makeup sponges. The best part is you can clean them immediately after using them.

7. Hair brushes: Six months

Images for illustration purposes only.
Image via Leaf

It is not just hair that can collect in hair brushes, but a combination of dust, oil, and dead cells. So every time you brush your hair, you are essentially transferring these back and forth.To help extend the shelf life of your hair brush, you should:- clean your hair brush once a week,- never apply product directly to the brush, - never soak the brush in water, and- never apply heat directly to the brush

8. Bras: One to two years

Images for illustration purposes only.
Image via Unsplash

Over time, bras lose their shape and support, especially if you machine wash and do not reshape them after.You know it is time to buy a new bra if you are using the last hook, the bra straps are falling off, or if the underwire is poking your chest.

9. Power strip: One to two years

Images for illustration purposes only.
Image via SystemSAT

Old power strips use up a lot of electricity and become hot quickly. This may lead to a fire.Power strips are also often placed in small places, so their wires and plugs are often bent and easily broken.With something as important as power strips, it is important you replace them every couple of years. A good indicator is when its colour has changed.

10. Body sponges: Two months

Images for illustration purposes only.
Image via Finch Berry

The purpose of a body sponge is to help you get rid of dirt and dead cells, so it should come as no surprise that your body sponge is actually filthy.Keeping the body sponge in a wet environment also makes it easy for bacteria to grow.

Brb, time to change some items

Ia merupakan sebahagian daripada inisiatif bagi membantu perusahaan kecil dan sederhana (PKS) yang terkesan akibat pandemik Covid-19 untuk mengembangkan perniagaan di samping menyokong produk tempatan.Menurut, Ketua Pemasaran dan Perniagaan Sampingan ATLAS Vending, Amy Gan, kempen itu diharapkan mampu menyokong usahawan dan meningkatkan keazaman mereka untuk terus bertahan pada saat-saat sukar ini.“Sempena Hari Malaysia, kami di ATLAS Vending mahu melakukan sesuatu yang bermanfaat untuk semua rakyat Malaysia yang terjejas akibat pandemik ini. Kami dapati bahawa ramai usahawan tempatan terpaksa mengecilkan skop pelan perniagaan mereka, akibat masalah logistik bekalan, kos sewaan dan pengurangan waktu operasi.

“Oleh itu, kami bercadang untuk menawarkan mesin layan diri kami sebagai saluran jualan berautomasi bagi membantu meluaskan lagi jangkauan mereka. Kami memilih Sapot SME sebagai tema untuk kempen ini kerana Persatuan PKS Malaysia mendapati bahawa 100,000 PKS telah menutup perniagaan mereka sejak Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) pertama dikuatkuasakan pada 18 Mac 2020.“Selain itu, 50,000 lagi PKS berisiko untuk gulung tikar jika PKP 3.0 kali ini dilanjutkan lagi. Menerusi kempen Sapot SME, kami berharap untuk meraikan semangat Malaysia dengan menyokong para usahawan di seluruh negara dan keazaman mereka untuk terus bertahan,” katanya.

Sebanyak 13 rakan PKS telah dipilih dari seluruh negeri dan menawarkan mereka mesin layan diri percuma selama tiga bulan

“Kami memilih 13 rakan PKS untuk kempen ini yang setiap satunya mewakili PKS dari setiap negeri di Malaysia sebagai lambang kesatuan yang dimiliki dan menawarkan mereka mesin layan diri sebagai saluran runcit automatik. Ia akan digunakan secara eksklusif oleh setiap PKS dan akan dipenuhi dengan rangkaian produk mereka, yang merupakan produk kegemaran tempatan.“ATLAS Vending akan menyokong mereka selama tiga bulan ke hadapan bermula Hari Malaysia iaitu pertengahan September, PKS akan dapat menggunakan mesin layan diri tanpa sewa dengan perkhidmatan pengisian semula yang percuma. Keuntungan yang diperoleh akan dinikmati sepenuhnya oleh mereka,” katanya.

Jelas Amy lagi, maklum balas baik turut diterima pihaknya daripada PKS yang terlibat kerana ia nyata membantu menghidupkan kembali perniagaan yang sudah lama terjejas.“Kami gembira dengan maklum balas dan semangat daripada PKS. Sebahagian besar mengalami penurunan penjualan terutamanya yang bergantung kepada pelancongan tempatan dan terkesan akibat sekatan perjalanan.“Manakala bagi sesetengah rakan PKS yang hanya mempunyai perniagaan dalam talian dan belum pernah mencuba saluran jualan secara fizikal sebelum ini, keupayaan untuk menjual produk secara fizikal melalui mesin layan diri yang dikhaskan untuk jenama mereka yang disediakan oleh ATLAS Vending, adalah satu pencapaian yang bermakna,” katanya.

Berikut di bawah adalah antara senarai 13 PKS yang terlibat dalam kempen Sapot SME daripada ATLAS Vending kali ini:

Kempen Sapot SME hanyalah fasa pertama dalam rancangan ATLAS Vending untuk memperkenalkan mesin layan diri terbaru di seluruh Malaysia apabila menawarkan lebih banyak pilihan selain daripada minuman dan makanan ringan yang biasa dijual.“Menerusi pengenalan mesin layan diri ATLAS Minit Mart ini, para pengguna di Malaysia boleh mendapatkan produk yang biasa mereka beli di kedai serbaneka dan pasar mini menerusi mesin layan diri berautomasi yang beroperasi 24 jam setiap hari.“Daripada mi segera hinggalah kepada sambal, perencah dan rempah ratus yang diperlukan untuk memasak, beraneka jenis makanan ringan bergoreng tempatan, buah-buah kering, bertih jagung serta brownies, termasuk produk lain seperti ice blended milkshakes. Produk yang ditawarkan menerusi ATLAS Minit Mart ini akan mengubah konsep mesin layan diri dalam minda rakyat Malaysia,” ujarnya.Untuk maklumat lanjut atau peluang kolaborasi, orang ramai boleh menghubungi ATLAS Vending di talian 1300 1300 61 atau laman rasmi Facebook di https://www.facebook.com/atlasasia.co.

We Tried Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G For A Week. Here's Our Full Review Of The Flagship Phone

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

I am all for mid-range phones in 2022! Spending over RM5,000 on a phone sounds bonkers to me, especially when I am not going to use all the features in the 'ultra'... 'plus'... 'pro'... phones.

If you are like me who does not mind losing out on 8K video filming capabilities and the 100x telephoto lens, among other 'ultra' frills, in exchange for a cheaper phone, then the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G is a great phone for you.I have been using the phone for a week now, with all my data transferred and my SIM card migrated. Do I miss my old phone? Coming from a different operating system, my 'yeses' are only limited to a few features. The flagship-killer phone has met all my expectations and impressed me in some areas. But there are a few small disappointments, too.

Image via SAYS

You can read about my first impression of the phone here, where I detail what I like about its design and interface customisation.

Let's get into the four things that the Galaxy S21 FE 5G stood out to me, which you need to know before you consider buying the phone:

1. Making compromises on some of the specs

A bit of context here: the Galaxy S21 FE 5G is the 'Fan Edition' of Samsung's top-of-the-line flagship S series.It is designed after the Galaxy S21 5G, and it has most of the same hardware as its 'master'. But it does not mean the 'Fan Edition' is inferior. It is essentially a 'lite' version of the Galaxy S21 5G with several over-the-top features removed to make the phone more affordable, while also upgrading certain areas after listening to customer feedback.With that said, let's look at the side by side comparison of the phones:

Image via SAYS

Compared to the Galaxy S21 5G, the 'Fan Edition' has a better front-facing camera, and a bigger screen, dimensions, as well as battery capacity.However, it loses out on a lower megapixel telephoto lens and a weaker fingerprint sensor.Personally, I often run into trouble unlocking the phone with my fingers, as an optical fingerprint reader is not as accurate and as fast as an ultrasonic sensor. This could be a deal-breaker for some of you.But I have set up the 'lift to wake' feature and face recognition to quicken my phone unlocking process.

2. Pro-grade cameras that create stunning photos with every shot you take

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

In terms of 'Instagrammability', the phone handles portraits very well. Even selfies in dark conditions look impeccable.I turned my friend into an Instagram model for a day, while I... not so much. I shall focus on snapping photos.

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

Image via SAYS

As you can see from the photos, the phone turns everything you take into professional-grade 'stock' photos. Some of them can even be set as my phone's wallpaper.Sure, Samsung phones are known for exaggerating the colours to bring out more warmth. The photos look less true to life.But after seeing the photos I took, I do not care anymore. They look like they were taken by a pro — which I am not.The Galaxy S21 FE 5G comes with native pro video mode, too, where you can control the ISO, white balance, shutter speed, and more. So, if you do not like how the colours look sometimes, the phone gives you the flexibility to change it up.

3. Multiple video modes to capture every memory

The Galaxy S21 FE 5G has portrait video mode, dual recording, super slow-mo, hyperlapse, and many more. I love the dual recording mode as it adds another layer of content to my video recordings. As you can see below, I am chasing after a feathered friend in KL Bird Park and it shows both my reaction and the bird that I am chasing.Rest assured, no birds were harmed in the process of testing the cameras, even for the peacock who flew away fright in front of me and I managed to capture it in super slow-mo (960fps ftw!).

The camera has incredible stabilisation, too! Look at the time-lapse of me walking around the bird park.Even when it is played at rapid speed, the footage remains relatively stable.

The footage I took at Kwai Chai Hong, Kuala Lumpur was captured with the wide-angle lens. Watch until the end to see how unstable the footage was while I was recording it.The Galaxy S21 FE 5G's Super Steady feature was built to make all your travel and cafe videos look the best when you upload them to your TikTok or Instagram.

4. The not-so-good sides of the phone

The first thing here is hardly Samsung's fault. It is the bugs in the Google Play Store apps.Take Instagram, for example, the social media app I use the most (and I believe you do, too) has a good 20% chance of not being able to play Reels on the news feed. I have to click on the profile and tap into their Reel page in order to watch the video.Ugh! That is very frustrating. Conventional wisdom has it that Android apps are not as well coded and designed as other operating systems, so much so that the same can be said for Google apps, such as Gmail and Google Drive. I am at the mercy of app developers to push out updates so that I can live a bug-free life.Another not-so-good side of the Galaxy S21 FE 5G is... Bixby. Out of all the different voice controls out there, Bixby falls far behind its competitors. But you already know that.Next up is its QR scanner. In my previous phone, I always took pride in being able to scan a QR code with the MySejahtera app while standing behind someone as they struggle to get their phones to read the codes. Now, I am one of them.I do not understand why this is a problem. Hopefully, a software update in the future can resolve this.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G is now available in Malaysia for RM2,899 (128GB) and RM3,099 (256GB)

If you purchase between now and 31 January, you will receive a RM350 e-voucher for your next purchase. You will also get SamsungCare+ 1 Year Accidental and Liquid Damage for your new phone.Additionally, from now until 28 February, you get to enjoy up to 30% off on selected accessories, wearables, and hearables — such as Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Buds — with every purchase of the Galaxy S21 FE 5G.Lastly, as Lunar New Year approaches, from 7 January to 27 February 2022, customers can enjoy a prosperous RM68 e-voucher for the Galaxy S21 FE 5G during this festive season.

M'sian City Life #13: Meeting My Uni Lecturer Helped Me Overcome My 'Kampung' Mentality

19-year-old Aizatul Anis comes from a humble town called Ajil in Hulu Terengganu, Terengganu

Some shoplots at Pekan Ajil, Hulu Terengganu, Terengganu.

After completing her SPM, Aizatul moved to Kuala Lumpur to further her studies at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) in Shah Alam

Image via EasyUni

Aizatul first found it hard to adjust to a new environment. It all changed when she broke out of her comfort zone and started to mingle with people from other ethnicities and cultures.

Aizatul (left) with her friend.
Image via Aizatul Anis

"I come from a kampung (small village) surrounded with only Malay people. I only had one Chinese teacher at my school. That's why I find it easier to click with my own people and found it hard to attach to the different races in Malaysia," Aizatul said.  "When I came to KL, it was difficult for me to adjust to the diversity in my new environment. But all that changed when I went to university as I learnt to be more open to diversity."

"I’m not a racist or a 'colour picking’ person. It's just that I’m not familiar with this kind of situation."

Aizatul (first from right, second row) with her friends in front of the UiTM library.

When she came to UiTM in Shah Alam, Aizatul had the privilege of getting to know two Indian lecturers who taught her classes. She admitted it made her felt uneasy at first, due to her limited exposure and the fact that she never really had the chance to get to know people from other races due to the composition and demographics back in her hometown. "It's just that in my hometown, most of the residents are Malay. My teachers at school taught me a lot about the other races and unity. I know all of that but I just didn't have the chance to practice it in real life," Aizatul said.  "Before this, I had a bad feeling because I thought that we are from different religion and we will have different thinking but actually, I realised that we are all the same at the core."

Putting aside her preconceptions, Aizatul formed a bond with an Indian lecturer who taught her literature. The lecturer become her pillar of strength, inspired her and eventually changed Aizatul's life.

"At first, I’m kind of shaky as it feels like riding a car with a stranger. But then as time passed, I realised that I shouldn’t be feeling that way.""See how kampung my mentality was! I resisted my way of thinking after I met one of my lecturers — and fell in love with her."  "She is so passionate and full of magic in her words. I love to attend her classes as she always inspires me with her philosophy and the way she handles everything." "Somehow, she just inspires me and I would love to be an educator like her. She has painted some hope in me and boosted my motivation to become a better person. If anyone asks me today who I want to become someday, I would say, “Just like her”."

When it came to the final week of her semester, Aizatul expressed her gratitude and love for her favourite lecturer by giving her a big hug

Image via Aizatul Anis

"When I hugged her in our last class for the semester, she said "thank you" to me and I also thanked her in return. “I really adore the warmth of her hug that makes me feel safe, and I was about to shed some tears because it feels so sad because I won’t be able to see her as I often as I used to.”Aizatul said she will always cherish her lecturer's parting words to the class."She told us, "You’ll never know your ability until you go to edges and jump! Go explore, and the world is yours"."

Khairulaming Shares Weight Loss Journey After Doctor Calls Him Out For Using Too Much Oil

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

Social media star khairulaming has recently been in the limelight after being called out by a nephrologist for using excessive oil in his cooking

As part of his Ramadan special series, the food influencer, whose real name is Khairul Amin Kamarulzaman, released a cooking video for sambal hijau bilis dan telur dadar (anchovies with green sambal and omelette), which caught the attention of Dr Rafidah Abdullah.

Puasa ke-9 : Sambal Hijau Bilis & Telur Dadar. Sambal ni nak makan dengan ayam goreng & ikan goreng pun sedap. Boleh guna utk berbuka & sahur  pic.twitter.com/vpNYGE5SEL— Khairulaming (@khairulaming) March 31, 2023

She said the food was oily and hoped he would prepare more healthy dishes in the future.

Salam KhairulAming. Saya berharap masakan akan datang adalah makanan sihat. Banyak sangat minyak ni. Goreng is not good. Harap lebih peka dengan masalah rakyat Malaysia. Kita tidak mahu kesihatan makin teruk, negara makin merundum. TK. https://t.co/vIjsh4lmTV— Dr Rafidah Abdullah (@rafidah72) April 1, 2023

To address the matter, Khairulaming uploaded a four-minute video to explain his side of the story

In the first 30 seconds of the video, he thanked all his followers for their feedback regarding the issue and emphasised that health is very important.He proceeded with sharing how he went from being 113kg four months ago, to 100kg today."My body mass index (BMI) has plunged from the obese range to the overweight range," he added proudly.

Image via @khairulaming (Twitter)

Khairulaming added that he personally knew the importance of a healthy and sustainable diet, as two years ago he went on a strict diet to reduce weight

He described his diet which required him to avoid eating local delicacies and only consumed brown rice, salmon and broccoli."It did work but right after that I started gaining weight drastically," he said.The food influencer explained the he felt very stressed during this period of his diet because he couldn't enjoy the food that was around him."Eventually, I gave in and started consuming everything out of proportion," he said.Having learnt his lesson, this time he took a different approach to get healthy."I still eat clean every day but at the same I also enjoy our local cuisine," he said.

Image via @khairulaming (Twitter)

According to Khairulaming, it is possible to substitute his recipe with healthier options, however, it won't taste as good as the original

"If you want to eat juicy and crispy fried chicken, you have to deep fry it in a large amount of oil. If you want to savour creamy mac and cheese, you can't use less cheese, or the taste won't be the same," he explained from a food content creator's perspective.He added that not everyone in Malaysia practises a healthy diet, therefore it is up to his viewers if they want to substitute his recipe with healthier ingredients.

Dr Rafidah has since apologised to Khairulaming

In her apology, she said it wasn't her intention to accuse him of causing Malaysians health to deteriorate.She also added on that she hopes food influencers will include the amount of calories in their recipes.

Saya mohon maaf kerana saya nampak ramai yg salah anggap yg sy menuduh En Khairul Aming merosakkan kesihatan rakyat Malaysia. Dua ayat terakhir saya sepatutnya di para yg lain. Walaubagaimanapun, harapan saya video2 atau content2 mana2 influencer ada tertera kandungan kalori. https://t.co/4t9MzjfUwe— Dr Rafidah Abdullah (@rafidah72) April 2, 2023

At the time of writing, Khairulaming's explanation video has garnered over three million views. Watch it below:

Thank you kepada semua yang bagi feedback mengenai minyak masak dalam masakan, I will take note for improvement . If you dont mind, I want to share my perspective on this issue, especially coming from me as an obese Malaysian and also a food content creator: pic.twitter.com/OGQgBjqbvP— Khairulaming (@khairulaming) April 2, 2023

Last year, the Kelantan local was praised for opening a sambal factory in his hometown:

“Skru Pun Ada Kamera” - Elak Jadi Mangsa Skodeng, Ini Cara Kesan ‘Spy Cam’ Guna Phone!

Buat wanita-wanita di luar sana, pernah tak anda rasa diri seperti diperhatikan semasa sedang membuang air kecil atau besar terutamanya di tandas-tandas awam?

Kedengaran sangat menakutkan, bukan? Tapi jangan terkejut kerana perkara ini benar-benar berlaku. Bukan setakat di luar negara, ya, tapi di Malaysia pun ada!

Image via Twitter

Perkara ini telah didedahkan oleh seorang pengguna Twitter yang menyatakan wujudnya sebuah akaun Telegram yang didapati mengumpul dan menyebarkan gambar wanita ketika mereka berada di dalam tandas awam. Lebih memalukan, akaun berkenaan mempunyai sekitar 21 ribu ahli, dengan lebih seribu ahli aktif pada satu-satu masa.

Image via Twitter

Ekoran daripada itu, pengguna Twitter berkenaan menasihati orang awam terutamanya wanita agar berhati-hati dan sentiasa memeriksa tandas awam yang dimasuki.

Image via Twitter

Berdasarkan gambar skrin (screen capture) yang dimuat naik, kebanyakan gambar yang disebarkan dalam group Telegram tersebut adalah gambar intip daripada kamera tersembunyi yang dipasang di dalam tandas awam.

Oleh yang demikian, dinasihatkan para wanita untuk mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga sebelum menjadi mangsa

Menerusi laman Twitter juga, seorang pengguna bernama Sue Anna Joe telah berkongsikan  beberapa tempat yang terdapat rakaman kamera tersembunyi di Malaysia. Jangan terkejut, terdapat juga objek yang dijadikan sebagai tempat menyembunyikan ‘spy cam’ yang sering kita abaikan seperti pewangi, skru, plug, berus dan banyak lagi.Jom kita tengok perkongsian dia di bawah:

Susulan daripada tularnya perkongsian tersebut, terdapat sebilangan warganet yang turut berkongsikan beberapa lagi tips bagi mengelak diri daripada dihendap kaki skodeng.

Betul. You can try check lepas ni— Dauntless (@SunflowerJinie) March 9, 2020

Diharap, perkongsian ini dapat membantu para wanita agar sentiasa peka dengan keadaan sekeliling terutamanya ketika berada di tandas awam.

Bukan itu sahaja, semua juga, baik lelaki mahupun wanita, disarankan untuk melaporkan pengendali akaun yang mengandungi kandungan lucah, sumbang, jelik, tidak bermoral serta palsu

Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah's role in Malaysia's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic has now been recognised by the World Brands Foundation (TWBF), which awarded him with the BrandLaureate 'Outstanding Brand Leadership Award 2020'

In a statement issued on Friday, 17 July, the BrandLaureate Awards said that the Brandlaureate Outstanding Brand Leadership award is in recognition of his heroic role in fighting COVID-19.Dr Noor Hisham was presented with the award at his office at the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Putrajaya at 2.30pm yesterday, during which the organisation's chairman, president, and CEO were present."Having risen to prominence since the COVID-19 pandemic escalated in Malaysia in March 2020, Dr Noor Hisham's commitment in fighting the pandemic has given Malaysians hope and healing," it said.Acknowledging the Health D-G's leadership, it said that Malaysia has successfully flattened the curve and is now seen as a champion in containing the COVID-19 pandemic in the eyes of the world.

Meanwhile, MOH was presented with an award for being an 'Excellent Healthcare Service Provider' to honour frontliners who have been at the forefront providing the necessary assistance to the patients

"During this pandemic, the Ministry Of Health, through its frontliners has been at the forefront providing the necessary assistance and support to the patients and caregivers," the statement said."Their dedication and commitment have enabled them to provide the best possible treatment and relief to all those that are affected by COVID-19. Without their sacrifice and unrelenting tenacity, Malaysia would not have been able to flatten the curve and reduce the number of infections and death tolls."It said that MOH and its frontliners have been admirable in providing great comfort and security to those affected and also to all Malaysians, shouldering the dangers and risks of being exposed to COVID-19.

Following the event, Dr Noor Hisham took to his Facebook page, which he has actively used to keep Malaysians informed about the COVID-19 situation, to convey his and the ministry's deepest gratitude

He said that "both of these awards reflect the dedication, commitment, sacrifice, and resilience" of every individual in MOH and various agencies to provide the best healthcare service."Never before have we seen the whole of government machinery and society work seamlessly hand in hand for the sake of public health, thus making the tagline 'every sector is a health sector' a reality which others can now emulate," Dr Noor Hisham said while thanking the people for the patience and cooperation they have given to the frontliners and authorities.

      Unsupported video platform

He brought 1200 pieces of $0.05 coins to an Adelaide City Council office

A recipient of a $60 parking fine attempted to pay his outstanding fee with 1200 five cent coins, pouring the contents of his sizeable coin sack over the receptionist's counter at an Adelaide City Council office.

As for the board game itself, minor changes were made to the properties on the board to align the game with the Mid Autumn Festival theme

As stated on the Mdm Ling Bakery website, "Now it's a walk to remember and roll around the charming streets home to some of the most popular cookies and their premium quality ingredients, many of which are Mdm Ling Bakery's signatures!"What used to be known as 'Old Kent Road', now reads as the Himalayan Salt Square, priced at a measly 60 Monopoly Dollars. Some of the other amusingly named properties include Purple Sweet Potato Place, Jalan Kuih Bangkit, Seaweed Street, Hazelnut Lane, Green Pea Grove, Pineapple Promenade, and Butter Boulevard.Certain elements have remained the same however, including the 'Go To Jail' space, collecting 200 Monopoly Dollars when passing 'Go', the design on the printed Monopoly Dollars, and the 'Free Parking' space. Other accessories on the other hand have minor tweaks, including the pineapple design on the 'Chance' cards, names on the property cards, and the centre artwork display on the board, which shows Mr Monopoly leaving Mdm Ling Bakery.

Unfortunately for us, this Monopoly Mooncake Game Box (which currently retails for about RM283) is not available for purchase and delivery in Malaysia

A Malaysian woman recently tweeted about being scammed after she paid for a parcel that she did not order

According to her tweet, the victim, Hawa, received a package addressed to her from a store called Zombi Online Shop.She was perplexed when she unwrapped the package sent to her house and discovered random items that she had not ordered.The items Hawa received included a water bottle, a bag, and a cutlery set.She said the sender had set the parcel's delivery type to cash-on-delivery (COD), and she unsuspectingly paid RM69 for the package when it was delivered to her house.

Hawa shared that some of her friends have also fallen victim to this new scam tactic

After compiling screenshots of conversations she had with other victims on her Twitter thread, she discovered that many others had also received COD parcels for RM69.While Hawa received a random assortment of school supplies, some victims received empty packages.However, there were those who managed not to fall into the trap."I squeezed the parcel a little bit when it was delivered and felt nothing, so I told the delivery man to return the item back to the sender," said her friend.Meanwhile, another friend said that she was glad she was not at home when the item was delivered to her house.

Before receiving the package, victims would receive an automated short message service (SMS) saying that the item is out for delivery

Hawa said an alleged J&T employee, who wished to remain anonymous, saw her tweet and shared the scammers' modus operandi with her, acknowledging that the issue has been ongoing for some time.According to the employee, if anyone receives a parcel with a tracking number that begins with 6307, it is most likely a package sent by scammers.They went on to say that anyone who receives the package should tell the delivery man to return it to the sender in order to prevent this problem from happening to other victims in the future."If you receive an SMS stating that your item is being delivered, respond to the message or WhatsApp the number and inform them to return the item to its sender," the employee said.
