Someone Threw A Whole Teddy Bear Into The Klang River And It Looks Like It Gave Up On Life

25-year-old Boyan Slat has done an incredible job creating an invention that is currently cleaning up our polluted Klang River

Among some of the items that have been collected by the Interceptor so far are helmets, handbags, bottles, and plastic bags.

However, during a recent presentation of the invention, an unexpected, cute, and cuddly item sneakily made its way onto the boat...

... A stuffed teddy bear.

Amused by the surprise guest, Boyan clarified that the teddy bear was not intentionally put there for the video."If this bear is yours, do feel free to reach out to us," the video's caption read.

Boyan continued to explain how The Interceptor works. But couldn't take himself seriously while the bear lay on the conveyor belt looking defeated from life.

"It's ridiculous," he said, while laughing in the video, which has since been shared 1,200 times on Facebook."So come on board, the debris is guided by the 'bearier' into the conveyor belt [while] the conveyor belt takes it up the Interceptor..." he went on.

Since then, several people have jokingly requested for items they "need"

Tickled, others related it to a 'Toy Story' moment of someone losing their teddy.

Is There More To The Reports Of Malay Bibles Distributed In Penang (Again)?

Report Of Malay Bibles Distributed In School Is Fake, Says Penang State Religious Exco

Penang State Religious Exco Says Malay Bible Distributed In School Report Is Fake
Image via cj.my

The Penang government has refuted claims that Malay Bibles were distributed to students at a school in the state, calling it an "extreme provocation" by irresponsible parties. State religious exco Datuk Abdul Malik Kassim said today after the state government had conducted its investigations and found the allegation to be false.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"This report is not only confusing but it has created doubts because it is understood that until today, no police report has been made over the matter," Malik said in a statement. "And according to the state CID chief Superintendent Mazlan Kesah, the three men said to have been caught by the PTA president were also not handed over to the police."

        yahoo.com

However, Malik revealed that the PTA chairman had refused to cooperate with the state religious authorities, who had gone to the school to investigate the incident. "This has created doubts about whether the incident actually took place as reported by the daily," he said, adding that it was learnt that Nor Amin had a "different political stand" from the state government.

        msn.com

Malik also noted that the reporter stumbled on the story posted on Nor Amin's Facebook page, which has since been removed. "And Nor Amin had admitted to the reporter that he only heard the story from a 'mystery teacher' who is now being tracked down by police.”

        themalaysianinsider.com

Malik said extremists were playing the "same script" once again as last year when it was alleged that Malay Bibles were distributed to students in Penang. "But police investigations revealed that it was not true. Now they are repeating the script.

Sinar Harian Reported A School In Penang Has Alleged That Three Men Were Distributing Christian Material In Malay To Students On 16 February 2014

Three men have been found handing out Christian material containing the word "Allah" to students at a school in George Town, Penang, a Malay daily reported today.

        themalaysianinsider.com

According to a report in Malay daily Sinar Harian today, Sekolah Menengah Haji Zainal Abidin Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) chairman Nor Amin Ahmad claimed to have caught the trio handing out what he described as “bibles” at another school in the vicinity.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

The Title Of The Bible Is 'Kenalilah Al-Kitab' (Know the Bible)

"The title of the Bible was 'Kenalilah Alkitab' (Know the Bible). At the bottom, it is written 'Sebuah Panorama Firman Allah dalam 366 bacaan dan renungan harian'," Nor Amin told Sinar Harian.
That translates into "The Word of God in 366 daily readings and reflections.

        msn.com

He questioned why such material was being distributed to students. It is especially more confusing as it is in Bahasa Malaysia, Nor Amin said.
He alleged that the distribution of such material was a blatant attempt to subvert the faith of Muslim students.
Nor Amin added that there have been acts of proselytisation among the students themselves.

        msn.com

The Report Did Not Specify If The Students Who Were Given The Materials Were Muslims Or Whether The Men Were Arrested

However, Sinar Harian's report failed to specify if the students who had received the material were Muslims. Nor did the report specify whether the three men had been arrested for distributing the Bibles.

A Quick Research Conducted By The SAYS Content Team Shows That The Distributed 'Malay Bibles' As Reported By Local Media Are Not Malay Bibles, But A Devotional Guide

Each day's reading includes Scripture, contemporary commentary, and questions for contemplation--all designed to offer insight into how the passage fits into the overall story of the Bible, and how it speaks to life today.

Despite The Complaint To The Press, No Police Report Has Been Made Yet

"Unsubstantiated reports of 3 men distributing Malay bibles to Malay children outside a school in George Town that were widely published, has only added on to the uncertainty and confusion. Despite these press reports, no police reports have been lodged nor anyone seen who these 3 men were, so that the police can take action," Lim Guan Eng.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

"The Penang state government is in close contact with the police to deal with these attempts at disturbing public peace and disrupting public order. The Penang state government remains confident that the police in Penang is on top of the situation and will take all necessary steps to check and stop these destructive elements. However until that is done, the people of Penang has to remain calm and united as well as continue with their daily lives normally," Lim Guan Eng.

Penang Exco On Religious Affairs Says The PTA Of The School Should Inform The Police Of His Claim For Police To Take Action

The parent-teacher association (PTA) chairman of a Penang school should inform police of his claim that Christian materials were distributed to students there, a state executive councillor said today. Datuk Abdul Malik Abul Kassim, the Penang exco on religious affairs, said that the police could then investigate if there was any wrongdoing in the incident, as proselytisation of faiths other than Islam to Muslims is illegal in Malaysia.

        themalaymailonline.com

“We leave it to the police. The relevant party has to make a police report,” Abdul Malik told The Malay Mail Online today when contacted.

Penang CM Lim Guan Eng Says There Is A Genuine Concern That These Destructive Groups Will Not Stop Until They Have Achieved Their Purpose

Penang CM Lim Guan Eng Says There Is A Genuine Concern That These Destructive Groups Will Not Stop Until They Have Achieved Their Purpose
Image via straitstimes.com

The Penang state government has always believed that mutual respect, social harmony and peace in our diverse community can only be achieved when we celebrate both our uniqueness and differences. However this approach towards social harmony and peace has been challenged continuously by various incidents from the fire-bombing of a church last month, the fire-bombing of a police station early this month and the latest desecration of a mosque yesterday, when meat believed to be pork was thrown into the compound.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Clearly these destructive groups involved in such treacherous acts against religious places of worship have not given up on undermining and destablising the PR Penang state government. Whilst the state government will hold firm to the mandate given by the rakyat in giving a 68% popular support in the last general elections, there is genuine concern that these destructive groups will not stop until they have achieved their purpose against the state government.

        malaysia-chronicle.com

Let us defeat the destructive elements behind the treacherous desecration on the Cheruk Tok Kun Mosque in Bukit Mertajam by celebrating both our uniqueness and differences to preserve social harmony and peace. Unity in diversity will lead to a more resilient society and stronger identities of of the groups within, making George Town a singular UNESCO World Heritage site due to the ability of our multi-cultural and multi-religious society to live in harmony.

6 Ways IKEA's FREE Pencil Is More 'User-Friendly' Than A USD99 Apple Pencil Can Ever Be

IKEA seems to love taking a dig at Apple. From a hilariously serious video on IKEA's catalogue, BookBook last year to the good old IKEA pencil now

Image via Ikea Singapore/Facebook

We are a tad bit old fashioned, so we decided to put together a little list on the perks of an IKEA pencil that might help you make up your mind on whether the new Apple stylus is something you would want to invest in

Apple's new stylus, the Apple Pencil
Image via The Verge

1. The sheer versatility of IKEA pencil

Pick up enough pencils from Ikea and you might find yourself turning into quite the furniture designer!
Image via Florian Alexander Fuchs

While Apple's new stylus can only exclusively be used with its iPad, the IKEA pencil can pretty much be used on most surfaces around you; wall, paper, and wooden items, to name a few.

2. No running around looking for power points with IKEA pencils

Ikea pencils can be found in all their stores worldwide
Image via Don't Just Think/ Blogspot

Even the power banks usually fail to satisfy our technology craze and we end up looking for power points, eventually. Imagine the ridiculousness of running around looking for a power point to charge a...pencil?

3. FREE pencil instead of USD99

We know you do it too.
Image via Make A Meme

Admit it, we Malaysians love everything free. With that said, IKEA's generosity with their pencils must be applauded. Those little, wooden pencils are everywhere and they really don't mind you taking one, or two home.If you find yourself wondering if it alright to just 'take' the pencils from IKEA, fret not because this is what an IKEA rep said: "We do not care about the pencils. "We just put out new pencils if they run out. There are no statistics on the usage of the pencils by country. One thing clear is that we will not restrict the use of the pencils."

4. The risk of 'damaging' a wooden pencil is extremely low

Its pretty sturdy, you can even consider building mini houses with it
Image via Tbaumgarten1/Imgur

The only thing that might possibly go wrong with the Ikea pencil would probably be the end of  its shelf life. Replacing it is oh so easy, just pop over to the nearest Ikea store and voila!

5. The IKEA pencil is waterproof

Try dipping the Ikea pencil in the water for a minute and test it out yourself.
Image via Pencil Revolution

After a little experiment, we discovered that the IKEA pencil, like most lead pencils is waterproof! This way, you will never have to forget all those brilliant ideas that miraculously spark when you are in the shower. Grab that wooden pencil and write away!

6. Suitable for ALL ages

Image via Old Church Works

With parents becoming more tech-savvy by the day, a brand new stylus can easily fall into the hands of children and die a tragic death. On the contrary, with IKEA's pencil, you will never have to worry about the little humans playing with it and breaking it.

This Is Kak Ning – The Cleaner Who Can Speak More Than 3 Languages

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

Recently, Nirmaningsih Mawi, 59, went viral for teaching Japanese tourists how to speak Bahasa Melayu

In the video, Nirmaningsih, who prefers to be called Kak Ning, was seen teaching the delegates from Japan while effortlessly switching between Japanese, English, and Bahasa Melayu.The video caught the attention of netizens and had them wondering what her occupation was.

Image via ibangi.my : Bandar Baru Bangi Online Community (Facebook)

One of the speculations made by netizens was correct: Kak Ning was indeed a tour guide

In an interview with Harian Metro, the woman, who was born in Minangkabau, Sumatra, Indonesia, said that she is just a regular person who used to work as a tourist guide for 30 years and is not a lecturer, as theorised by some netizens.

COVID-19 had changed the trajectory of her career, according to Kak Ning

"The last time that I brought tourists into this country was on 13 March 2020 [before] the Movement Control Order (MCO) changed my life," said Kak Ning.She was unemployed for four months before accepting the offer to work as a cleaner at a company."I worked there for six months before moving to a sanitation company, and now, I am here (in Masjid Negara), with my husband who also works as a cleaner," she explained.

Kak Ning is diligent in seeking knowledge, which makes her who she is today

When reminiscing her memories of working as a tourist guide, she shared with Berita Harian that she started her career in 1990 at a company for four years before she started freelancing.Throughout her career journey, she had taken courses in four different languages, which are English (1990), Japanese (1991-1992), Arabic (2010), and German (2011).

This means that Kak Ning can speak more than the three languages seen in the viral video!

"I can speak five languages, but I mostly deal with Japanese tourists," she told Berita Harian.She broadened her knowledge and experience by working while training at a tourism company in Tokyo, Japan, where she got to speak the language and learn their work ethics."If I had not gone there, I wouldn't be able to speak Japanese as I do today, but that was at the cost of being separated from my first-born child," said Kak Ning.

Being a cleaner does not stop Kak Ning from being involved with the tourism industry because the tourist guide job is her first love

In the interview with Harian Metro, Kak Ning said, "I chose to work at Masjid Negara for a simple, practical reason: I get to meet tourists every day."As much as she misses being a tourist guide, she does not want to stop working as a cleaner since it lets her be close to her husband. So, she decided to take the job as a tourist guide only every Sunday night, when she is not working as a cleaner.

Malaysian Diplomat Rizalman Says He Went To Strip Club For Music, Not To Ogle At Women

NZ judge says Rizalman had sexual motives when he entered the house of a 21-year-old woman

Image via Daily Mail

Disgraced Malaysian Embassy worker Muhammad Rizalman had a sexual motive when he followed a Wellington woman home, defecated outside her house and then walked in and indecently assaulted her.The 39-year-old has admitted believing in black magic, smoking cannabis and buying legal highs. But he said on May 9 last year, he followed Tania Billingsley home only because she had given him a look he took as an invitation.Rizalman claimed he was simply going to discuss his problems with her.

        nzherald.co.nz

According to a New Zealand Herald report, Justice David Collins also found that Rizalman was in an abnormal state of mind, which might have diminished his understanding when he indecently assaulted the woman.“However, Mr Rizalman’s possible ‘diminished understanding’ is not a mitigating factor because at the time of his offending Mr Rizalman was, in all likelihood, affected by synthetic cannabis,” said Justice Collins.

        thestar.com.my

Rizalman is due to be sentenced next year and Justice Collins said he would hold a discharge without conviction hearing in February, if Rizalman was still applying for that.The judge has ordered a pre-sentence report and a report to assess Rizalman's suitability for home detention, which could be served at the Malaysian High Commission.Justice Collins asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade to forward a copy of his decision to the Malaysian High Commission to see if it was willing.

        nzherald.co.nz

Former Malaysian defence attache Muhammad Rizalman Ismail is currently facing a hearing for sexual assault in New Zealand.
Rizalman, who was attached with the Malaysian High Commission before being charged, admitted to a Wellington High Court that he went to a strip club but claimed he was only there "for the music".

According to NZ Herald, Prosecutor Grant Burston asked Rizalman if he had gone to a strip club called "Mermaids" in Wellington in June last year on two occasions when he "felt under pressure"

Rizalman: Yes.Burston: The women were taking their clothes off?Rizalman: Only their outer clothes.Burston: The women were topless?Rizalman: Yes.Burston: Were you interested in looking at the attractive women in the strip club?Rizalman: No.Burston: Why did you go to the strip club?Rizalman: To listen to music and release tension.

Previous incidents involving Rizalman and women

According to the report, Rizalman admitted to buying cannabis at a Wellington shop called Cosmic on Cuba on May 2 last year, where he then tried to approach two young female shop assistants.Burston asked Rizalman if had questioned the two women if they had a boyfriend and asked one of the women out for a drink, to which he replied, "Maybe". However, Rizalman said he "can't remember" when asked if he grabbed one of the young women's shoulder when he was told to leave them alone.He gave the same answer when asked if a male employee had escorted him out of the shop. The report said Rizalman also admitted to smoking synthetic cannabis in Malaysia but denied using it during his stay in New Zealand.

        malaysiakini.com

He was also asked about following a woman in Wellington on 8 May 2014. However, the former Malaysian defence attache told the Court that he only "needed somebody to talk about the problems".

"She was shocked, she says, has she got it all wrong Mr Rizalman, you weren't interested in her at all?""Maybe."Mr Burston said she stayed in the store, went to an area where he couldn't see her and waited five minutes. She checked Rizalman was gone and decided to leave and then crossed the road, heading up Manners St. The woman noticed a car stopped next to her and looked over."It was you driving the car. You had the front window down, passenger window down and were trying to talk to her," Mr Burston said."I'm not sure because Manners St, the cars cannot stop on [the] road," Rizalman said.Mr Burston said he was leaning over the passenger seat, motioning for the woman to get in."I am not sure," Rizalman said."She kept walking away from you and you kept driving across over Manners St and pulled into a parking bay?""I'm not sure.""That could have happened, what this young woman has described happening on Thursday, May 8, last year?""Maybe.""She says it did happen and she went into another store to get away from you again.""I am not sure."Mr Burston said he was suggesting Rizalman was interested in the "attractive young woman"."Maybe I needed somebody to talk about the problems," Rizalman said. He admitted he might have bought her a drink, over which they could talk."Perhaps it would take the pressure of you if she gave you a cuddle and a little kiss, or something like that?" Mr Burston asked."No, I just wanted to talk about the problems."

        nzherald.co.nz

The hearing is not to determine Rizalman's innocence as he had already pleaded guilty to  indecently assaulting a Wellington woman.
However, he is disputing certain facts of the case and the hearing is meant to establish which version the High Court will accept.

In response to questions from Prosecutor Grant Burston who asked why he had followed his alleged victim Tania Billingsley to her home and was subsequently accused of assaulting her, the former defence attache told the Wellington High Court that "in Malaysian custom, if a woman smiles at a man, it is an invitation to follow"

According to the NZ Herald, Rizalman testified that he was "getting signals" from the way Billingsley smiled at him."Not from her speech but from her mannerisms and the way she smiled and the way she behaved. In Malaysian custom, if a woman smiles at a man it is deemed that they are happy to know that person," he said.Burston then asked Rizalman if a woman's smile was an invitation to follow them home. At this, he replied: "It is an invitation to follow. It wouldn't necessarily mean you go into their house."

The report then said Rizalman who followed Billingsley home told the High Court he waited outside her house for a long time as she had shut the doors and he was expecting her to invite him in

Rizalman said he waited for a long time because Ms Billingsley had shut her door and he expected her to invite him in."I expected her to maybe go in, prepare some food. and maybe invite me in," Rizalman said.Inside, he could talk about his problems. Mr Burston wondered why Rizalman didn't knock on Ms Billingsley's door, introduce himself and ask if he could come inside and discuss his problems.Rizalman said he was waiting for an invitation inside. He later told a psychiatrist he'd never had an emergency defecation before. Today he said that was right and the night in question was the only time it had happened to him.

        nzherald.co.nz

Rizalman claimed he removed his pants and underpants because he had to urgently defecate and not because he wanted to have sex with Billingsley. He claimed that he then proceeded into Billingsley's home through her closed but unlocked door to "clean" himself. "I went to the house because I wanted to clean myself."

        malaysiakini.com

"The young woman wasn't interested in having sex with you. She was terrified, wasn't she?" Mr Burston asked."I didn't have any intention to have [a] sexual relationship with her," Rizalman said. He agreed that after listening to her 111 call, he knew Ms Billingsley was scared, but maintained: "I went into the room in desperation because I wanted to ask to use the bathroom""I still felt that she wanted to be friends with me and as a friend I approached the door, I knocked on the door and I asked for permission to go in."

        nzherald.co.nz

Who is Rizalman? According to answers given to questions asked about his background in the High Court, Rizalman is a "warrant officer 2" in the Malaysian military. He signed up in June 1994 and his Wellington appointment began in September 2013.

Rescuing A Stray Dog Off The Streets? Here Are The Necessary Steps You Should Take

So you found a stray puppy and now you would like to bring it home?
However, before you do carry home your new found friend, there are some necessary steps you should take regarding the safety of the dog and yourself.

It may be simple picking up an abandoned dog from the side of the road. However, you should know your responsibility in ensuring the stray finds the proper help it needs. Before bringing it home, consider if it needs proper medical attention, or if it's a lost beloved pet whose owner is desperately trying to find!

Image via alisohani.wordpress.com

We talked to a dog enthusiast who's rescued countless of dogs for some advice. Read below for some tips on what to do when you decide to pick up a stray:

1. How to approach the stray dog

Image via Ben Speckmann

For the sake of your own safety and considering the dog’s emotional state, act calmly and keep a safe distance from the dog. Upon gauging the dog’s approachability and the environment, walk towards it slowly while keeping in its view. Try to corner the dog so that it will have slimmer chances of running away from you. Using food to lure the dog to you can be a good technique especially when the dog is hiding in a spot impossible for you to reach. Before putting the dog in your car, ensure you have some sort of confinement to secure the dog. Probably scared for its life and wanting to escape, it will jump all around the car and distract your attention from the road.

2. Decide if you want to bring it home or to your nearest shelter

Image via Mohd Rasfan

If you want to take the dog home, make sure you notify the main shelters and post an ad online in case it’s someone’s missing dog. You don’t want to be that person who steals someone else’s dog even though it is unintentional.Bring it to your nearest vet if it needs urgent medical attention, but not to a pound as it is likely to get put down. Bringing it to a pound is also not recommended as it is full of diseases where they will surely die as they are not saved by vaccination. Often, you will hear the words "we are in full capacity" when you try to drop off a stray. Besides, you will have to pay quite a sum to even surrender them to the pound. We consulted our long-time dog rescuer on what to do when we first bring a dog home. "Quarantine it for 10-14 days because the disease will flare up during this incubation period. Monitor them during this time to see if they are healthy or not. After that, bring them to a vet for vaccination"

3. Use social media as the fastest way to get the word around to locate the owner

Image via phildesignart

Post on Facebook, or mainstream lost and found pets website where weary owners may be heavily monitoring. In Malaysia, websites like Petfinder would be the first thing they would check. If you’re diligent enough, paste flyers around your neighbourhood because not everyone is internet savvy.

4. What to do when you want to adopt a stray

Image via https://www.pinterest.com/pin/411164640954032111/

Before you choose to adopt, consider these few things:1. Ensuring the holding period for the stray has expired (usually 7-14 days)2. Apply for a license online here, you don't want to be charged a hefty fine if you don't own one!3. Prepare yourself for the load of responsibilities you'll have to face. 4. Ensure that the noise problem doesn't bother your neighbour too much."Be patient, because it will surely stress you out. It will take the dog some time to get accustomed to this new environment and will be howling and crying at night," says our dog enthusiast. "You can't blame them, they aren't used to it. If you can't accept that fact, you'll start seeing it as a burden."Imagine how frightened the animal will be, not only it will be in a foreign place, it will feel very confused not being able to freely roam around like it used to with humans telling it what to do. It will try to run away and stress the hell out of you, so you need to be patient and try to build a sense of trust.

5. Spay or neuter your pet. Please.

Image via friendsofanimals.org

With the alarming number of strays on the streets increasing daily, it is difficult to control and find who is responsible for them. One group of people who contribute to this problem are pet owners who allow their pets to roam the streets and mate with strays. Often, they do not want the pups, leaving the responsibility of the pups to whom? They will grow up as strays and add to the problem of homeless dogs.If you can't accommodate to having more dogs in your house, do the right thing and spay or neuter your pet.

Consider lending a helping hand to our furry friends, after all they didn't choose to be stray

Image via esdaw-eu.eu

When asked why rescuing dogs was so important to this local rescuer, the answer was simple: "These stray dogs are very helpless and if humans cannot help them, then who will? Their lives depend on us. I think this country lacks education on how to help and care for them, also because of the cultural mentality of many."

Look at how Nepal treats dogs with such respect, its time Malaysia did the same

After years of being man's best friend - pets and strays alike - are given the royal treatment!

Transport Ministry Bans Lap Belts From All Passenger Vehicles Starting 1 January

Starting 1 January, lap belts will be banned from being installed in all passenger vehicles under a new ruling by the Transport Ministry

The lap belts, also known as the two-point belt and normally found in the centre rear seat of a car and express buses, will be replaced with three-point seat belts.According to a report in NST Online, manufacturers who do not comply will not be able to market their vehicles as such vehicles would be declared "not road worthy" under the new standard that will be included in the Vehicle Type Approval Permit (VTA).

The reason for the ban on lap belts is that while they can save passengers from being thrown out of the vehicle in an accident, the pressure it puts on the body can cause serious injury or death

Image via ASYRAF HAMZAH/NST ONLINE

"The risks associated with lap belts include severing the lower torso and causing serious injuries to women who have had a Caesarean section," said Mohamad Dalib, the Automotive Engineering Director at Road Transport Department.There are several common injuries linked to the usage of lap belts.Some of which include injuries such as contusions to the abdominal wall, kidney and bladder damage, rupture of the mesenteries, small intestines, aorta, spleen and uterus, including fractured ribs, pelvis and lumbar vertebra.There also have been cases of passenger using lap belts being paralysed and even death, Dalib said, adding that crash impact tests have shown the need for lap belts to be replaced with three-point seatbelts.

Technically, lap belts should actually not be in any passenger vehicles in Malaysia that were manufactured from 2012 onwards

Because Malaysia adopted the United Nation Vehicle Regulations R14 and R16 (related to seatbelts), which were incorporated in the Road Transport Rules (construction and use) 1959, in 2007 and 2011."We have given industry players a lot of time to prepare. Cars manufactured from January that are still fitted with the lap belt will be considered not roadworthy, and we will not approve its VTA," NST Online quoted Mohamad Dalib as saying.

The Transport Department will, however, allow owners of passenger vehicles with lap belts to retain them until they are phased out

As it's not possible to retrofit the vehicles without compromising its structural strength, the owners of vehicles with lap belts will not be forced to make the switch.

Here's What The Names Of Your Favourite Japanese Restaurants Actually Mean

You know you're a true Japanese foodie when you can look at the name of a dish on the menu and effortlessly rattle off its English meaning

Image via Tumblr

But have you ever wondered what some of the words typically used in Japanese restaurant names actually mean?

For a start, here's the literal translation of zanmai:

Image via Super Sushi / SAYS

Question of the day: If zanmai literally translates to ambition, does Sushi Zanmai refer to the ambition of a sushi?

Image via Daily Scandinavian

Sadly, no. Zanmai which also means 'luxury' and 'indulgence', can be used to convey a state where one loves something so much that it is all they do. So basically, Sushi Zanmai refers to an overwhelming love for sushi that that's all one eats =)

We've always wondered if this one might relate to the green frog somehow. Clearly, that's a no.

Image via The Mines / SAYS

According to Douglas Foo, founder of the Sakae Sushi chain, the name was also picked due to its similarity to a word most sushi fans know and love: sake.

Who knew this one had such a deep, philosophical meaning?

Image via Hungry Go Where / SAYS

The beautifully poetic meaning behind Senjyu is used by the restaurant to reflect its "lifelong passion in serving the freshest and finest Japanese food, inspired by the truest traditions of Japanese cuisine."

And it just gets more and more poetic...

Image via rolling writes / SAYS

Ichiban, meaning 'the first' or 'the best', forms this gorgeous meaning when paired with the word boshi, meaning 'star'.

Gotta love how Rakuzen celebrates the simplest pleasure in life

Image via Super Dining

The word raku (meaning 'ease' or 'comfort') and zen (meaning 'goodness' or 'virtue') take on the meaning of 'joy of dining' when combined.

No berbunga-bunga meaning here though, Sushi Tei keeps it straight to the point

Image via Ai Makan / SAYS

Tei can also be used to mean 'mansion', 'cottage', or 'pavilion'.

Meanwhile, Sushi Mentai draws inspiration from a special ingredient

Image via Finding Fats / SAYS

Mentai is commonly used to refer to the distinctive sauce made using spiced roe. On an unrelated, less savoury note, it's also slang for a very specific genre of adult entertainment.

But nothing prepared us for this one:

12 Malaysian Children's Books That Every Parent Should Get For Their Child

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

As today, 8 September, is World Literacy Day, let's reflect on the importance of literature as a means of developing a well-educated society

At a very young age, we derive valuable lessons through books that help us navigate the world as adults. Whether they be cultural tales, historical retellings, or stories of peculiar creatures and plants that inhabit it, we can learn a lot about a place from these stories. These are some of the best books out there for kids to know more about this unique land we call Malaysia.

1. In The Rainforest by Rossiti Aishah Rashidi

From orangutans to pangolins, this is a great read that serves as an introduction to the rich diversity that inhabits the Malaysian rainforests. In this informative book, the author shows the kinds of animals that can be found high up in the trees and the tiny ones that live under the ground. The tour ends with the author asking an important question to the reader — what will happen to all the animals that live in the rainforest if it is no longer there?

Image via Rossiti Rashidi

2. The Wild Treehouse of Borneo by Gwen Hew

Toobi is a native Sabahan who befriends three eccentric-looking creatures who have lost their homes in the Borneo rainforest due to the "big red machines" (presumably referring to modern equipment used in land development). The kind-hearted Toobi lends a helping hand to build a new home for his newfound friends. This is a well-told story, inspired by the longstanding issue of deforestation in Malaysia.

3. Longhouse Days by Jainal Amambing

Author Jainal Amambing relives his fondest childhood memories of growing up in Sabah in a traditional Rungus longhouse. The book depicts the various aspects of the Rungus lifestyle that Jainal holds so dearly.Told in a nostalgic manner, the author tells his story in a way that makes us appreciate the indigenous cultures in Malaysia but also fully aware of their gradual decline among modern societies.

Image via Jainal Amambing

4.  Legendary Princesses of Malaysia by Raman

A vast majority of children would be familiar with iconic Disney princesses like Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. Malaysia is also known for its princesses, and these women play a big part in its rich folklore and legendary historical accounts. Many of them embody the same beauty and bravery as those depicted in western stories.

5. The Devouring Rock by Basari Mat Yasit

A tragic tale of how a loving mother got her heart broken, this book pays tribute to a classic Malay folktale 'Batu Belah Batu Bertangkup'.Fun fact: another retelling of the story can be found in the 1959 movie of the same name by Jamil Sulong.
