eCurve Says It's Not Closing But Undergoing Planned Redevelopment Of The Mall

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

Earlier today, 3 March, eCurve took to its social media pages to clarify that the shopping mall is not closing but undergoing redevelopment

In a statement, the mall management said that the redevelopment project is to rejuvenate eCurve."After 14 eventful years, the success story continues with the planned redevelopment of eCurve. The onset of the pandemic has presented an opportunity to put into motion the plan for eCurve to evolve, rejuvenate, and return stronger with a brand-new captivating landmark in Mutiara Damansara, aligned with the Group wide's (sic) aspiration of 'Reinventing Boustead'," read the statement.

The management said the timely project will see eCurve adapting to the changing societies, lifestyles, and technologies around us

"Through the urban rejuvenation, we envision enhanced generational livability surrounding Mutiara Damansara, with thriving communities and ecosystem stemming from the unleashed offerings under the redevelopment," it said, while emphasising that the redevelopment plan does not involve The Curve.The Curve is a separate mall adjacent to eCurve. Both the malls are at the same location.According to the statement, The Curve will continue to operate as usual, while the management added that it has engaged current tenants at eCurve and relocated selected tenants to The Curve.The current outlets at eCurve will remain open until the end of March.

The clarification comes days after it was reported that the shopping mall in Mutiara Damansara is closing for good by the end of March:

                eCurve Shopping Mall In Mutiara Damansara Is Closing Down Permanently On 31 March

eCurve's closure, however, doesn't affect The Curve, another mall at the same location.

Najib Chosen To Lead BN Backbenchers In Budget 2021 Debate Despite His Criminal Conviction

Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has reportedly been appointed as Barisan Nasional (BN) backbenchers' chairman (BNBBC) ahead of the tabling of Budget 2021

This is in spite of Najib being convicted on 28 July for abuse of power, money laundering, and criminal breach of trust in the SRC International case and being sentenced to 12 years' jail. According to BN sources, The Malaysian Insight reported that the appointment will empower Najib to decide which Members of Parliament (MPs) from the party get to speak during the tabling of Budget 2021 and set the tone for the debate.Najib's aide has confirmed the appointment, reported The Star.There are 43 MPs in the BN coalition, but among those, 20 MPs are in the government; leaving only 23 MPs from the coalition as backbenchers. Najib's role will be crucial in reflecting UMNO's demand on the budget, which is set to be tabled on Friday, 6 November.

Sources added that with Najib's influence, the Pekan MP will be able to tame the tension between UMNO and Bersatu

The political alliance between UMNO and Bersatu has been rocky over the past few months, as evident with UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's statement on 30 July, saying that his party will not formally join the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition.This led to talks of renegotiating terms for political cooperation, while UMNO hinted at withdrawing its support for PN.However, the decision was reversed on 27 October following Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's failed attempt to declare a state of emergency in Malaysia.In light of this, sources told The Malaysian Insight that Najib is a great candidate to steer through the tension and resolve any possible dispute."He is experienced so he can influence the parliamentarians," said the source.

Following the news of Najib's appointment, DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang has criticised the arrangement and called on Parliament not to recognise Najib's new role

In a blog post published today, 2 November, Lim said Najib's BNBBC appointment will "plunge the Malaysian Parliament into a new shame and infamy".Citing Najib's conviction in the SRC case and his ongoing trial in the 1MDB case, Lim contended that the appointment showed that the BN coalition is not upholding public integrity and anti-corruption principles."Najib's appointment as BNBBC and Parliament's recognition of this appointment is completely antithetical to the task of 'making the people of Malaysia whole'," said Lim.

Prior to this, Muhyiddin's administration attempted to declare an emergency as a way to contain the COVID-19 outbreak in the country:

Umum sedia maklum, Mesut Ozil merupakan seorang pemain bola sepak profesional yang kini bermain untuk kelab Turki, Fenerbahce

Walau bagaimanapun, bintang Jerman itu kini menjadi tumpuan netizen di Malaysia hanya disebabkan sekeping gambar yang memaparkan gambar Masjid Ubudiah, Kuala Kangsar di akaun media sosialnya.Gambar tersebut dimuat naik menerusi akaun media sosial rasminya yang menunjukkan imej lukisan pemain berumur 33 tahun itu sedang berdoa di hadapan masjid ikonik tersebut.

        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Mesut Özil (@m10_official)

“Wahai Allah, aku percayakanmu dengan masa silamku, aku percayakanmu dengan masa hadapanku. Aku percayakanmu pada hari ini, esok dan selama-lamanya. Jumaah Mubarak,” tulisnya pada kapsyen gambar berkenaan.

Sebagai rekod, Ozil sememangnya kerap memuat naik gambar-gambar masjid ikonik lain di seluruh dunia

Sebelum ini juga, Ozil turut pernah memuat naik gambar Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan, Kuala Lumpur pada Mac 2021 di Instagramnya.

"Tuhan memberi harapan kepada mereka yang bermimpi - memberi keajaiban kepada mereka yang beriman dan dia tidak pernah mengecewakan orang yang bertawakkal kepada-Nya. Tuhan merahmati kamu," tulisnya pada kapsyen gambar berkenaan.Dalam pada itu, Ozil juga merupakan seorang pemain bola sepak yang cukup lantang menyuarakan isu kemanusiaan melibatkan komuniti Muslim di seluruh dunia.Malah, tindakan Arsenal menyisihkan pemain tersebut turut dikaitkan dengan kelantangannya membela nasib etnik Uighur di China yang didakwa ditindas oleh pihak kerajaan di sana.

Deputy Education Minister Says Pupils Who Refuse COVID-19 Vaccine Can Still Attend School

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

Deputy Education Minister I Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon has clarified that no pupil will be barred from attending school should they refuse the COVID-19 vaccine

The Deputy Minister made this revelation at a special press conference with his co-deputy Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali yesterday, 22 September."Every student has the right (to study and attend school). There is no reason for MOE (Ministry of Education) to prevent them from returning to school (without vaccination)," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.Mah – who is also MCA deputy president – elaborated by saying that the number of objectors among pupils is relatively small, and it is their parents who don't allow them to receive their shots."Counselling will be given especially to parents as it is not the student who decline to be vaccinated."

Dr Mah Hang Soon.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education had earlier said teachers who refuse the COVID-19 jab will not be allowed to interact with students face to face

Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin made the announcement earlier this month to assuage the concerns of parents, reported Berita Harian."This number (of unvaccinated teachers) is not a lot and represents only a small fraction of the over 400,000 teachers in this country," said Radzi."(The ministry) wants to protect our children at school so that parents are confident that schools are safe for them."He says that unvaccinated teachers will be given alternative assignments, and that his ministry are in talks with the Public Service Department (JPA) to redress the matter.

Schools nationwide are set to reopen 3 October.

The National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme for Adolescents (PICK Remaja) begins in earnest today.
Vaccinations will be conducted on a scheduled basis, though only teenagers who are out-of-school may walk-in.

The programme will involve 156 suitable vaccination centres (PPVs) and targets the roughly 3.2 million adolescents aged 12 to 17 years old nationwide, reported Bernama."The scheduled walk-in vaccination will be implemented based on school location and distance from the identified PPV, and according to the given date and time," said Noor Azmi at an earlier presser.Noor Azmi, who is the COVID-19 Immunisation Task Force-Adolescent (CITF-A) chairman, also reminded parents not to rush their children to PPVs, as there is sufficient supply of the Pfizer vaccine to inoculate all youths, as per New Straits Times.

Previously, MOE promised flexible arrangements for students to attend school:

Education Minister Radzi Jidin added that parents can also choose not to send their children for face-to-face classes...

“Tak Payah Tunggu Covid-19 Pun Boleh Mati Tengok Lagu Kau Kri.” - Bonda Aliff Syukri

Baru-baru ini, usahawan kosmetik, Datuk Aliff Syukri telah berkongsikan teaser muzik video lagu terbarunya di Instagram yang dijangka bakal dilancarkan Jumaat ini

         View this post on Instagram           . . Saya ingin bahagia. Kenapa benda yang kita mahukan di dalam dunia ini, tidak semua benda kita akan dapat. Sedangkan kita sudah buat yang terbaik dan yang paling penting adalah hati dan kekuatan... ketika kita dalam kesusahan, orang yang paling kini tiada... Cuba korang bayangkan jika di tempat saya, serba serbi tidak kena dan orang sentiasa mencari salah. Ya ALLAH Ya Tuhanku, ENGKAU berikanlah ku petunjuk, ENGKAU berikanlah ku ketenangan. Lagu ini adalah kisah hati saya dan jiwa saya. ALLAH kuatkanlah hambaMu ini yang sedang dalam kesakitan........ . . . lagu ini akan sy relase jumaat jam 12 tghri ini nantikan.. di youtube tv terlajak laris .. jgn lupa dengar kemerduan suara kebanggaan dunia A post shared by  Ohabangkosmetik (@aliffsyukriterlajaklaris) on Mar 11, 2020 at 7:23am PDT

Seperti biasa, percubaan usahawan itu untuk mengaktifkan diri dalam bidang nyanyian kurang mendapat reaksi yang positif dalam kalangan netizen seluruh Malaysia.Apatah lagi, pada teaser yang dikongsikan Aliff baru-baru ini, dia seperti mengeluarkan air mata darah bagi menggambarkan kisah hati serta jiwanya yang sering mendapat kritikan daripada orang ramai.Gelagat serta perkembangan terbaru jutawan kosmetik itu bagaimanapun turut mendapat reaksi negatif dari bondanya sendiri, iaitu Rozita Ibrahim.

Buat pertama kali, Rozita yang juga merupakan pengasas kepada produk Sendayu Tinggi meluahkan perasaan terhadap anaknya itu di Instagram, semalam

         View this post on Instagram           Letih sesak dada Mak dah , xpayah tunggu Covid 19 pun boleh mati kalau x tahan sgt..sudahhh lah kri tak sanggup nak tengok org kutuk kri..!! .

A post shared by  ROZITA JRM OFFICIAL (@bondarozitaibrahim) on Mar 11, 2020 at 12:48am PDT

Seakan sudah hilang sabar dengan perilaku anaknya itu, Rozita berkata hatinya sudah terlalu sakit dengan satu demi satu masalah yang dilakukan Aliff sebelum ini.Sempat memohon maaf kepada anaknya, Rozita turut berkata setiap perbuatan yang dilakukan oleh Aliff sebenarnya turut terkait dengan dirinya apabila orang luar akan beranggapan bahawa dia tidak pandai dalam mendidik anak-anak.“Buruk anak, orang tak cakap kau buruk, orang cakap aku. Orang cakap mak ni yang tak pandai jaga anak.“Mak bukan tak ajar, tak ada mak yang nak anak dia musnah. Tak ada. Mak rasa mak dah tarbiah kau dengan cara paling lembut, jagalah maruah kerana kebaikan kamu Syukri adalah kebaikan mak. Keburukan kamu Syukri adalah keburukan mak.“Kalau betul engkau, mak tak didik dulu, kenapa tak semua adik-beradik ikut macam itu. Bukan mak tak didik, mak dah cakap dah. Sekarang kau buat lagi, lagu menangis. Lagu menangis kau, berdarah-darah tu kenapa?" katanya dalam video tersebut.Bukan itu sahaja menerusi video itu, Rozita turut berharap agar Aliff dapat berhenti dari melakukan perkara yang tidak disenangi ramai bagi menjaga maruah ibu bapa, adik-beradik serta anak-anaknya.“Pandang maruah kami semua. Siapa? mak ayah, adik-beradik dan anak-anak kamu, Syukri. Mak sayang kamu," katanya lagi.

Perkongsian video yang dibuat wanita itu turut mendapat perhatian dan reaksi para pengikutnya di Instagram

27-Year-Old Malaysian Apologises For Pretending To Be A Medical Intern For 7 Months

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

A 27-year-old Malaysian woman has been charged in Australia for pretending to be a medical intern in Sydney for seven months

According to Daily Mail, former medical student Lee Zhi Sin was sentenced to a two-year intensive correction order (ICO) and fined AUD10,000 (RM30,000) at the Downing Centre Local Court in the city last Thursday, 20 January.She pleaded guilty to practising medicine despite not being registered as a health practitioner under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority (APHRA) at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital from 18 January to 9 August last year.

Image via AAP Image/Daily Mail

The international student had failed six core disciplines in her final year of studying medicine at the University of New South Wales (UNSW)

However, before failing and being discontinued from completing her medical degree in October 2020, Lee had applied for a 2021 internship in June 2020.In January 2021, she was offered an internship at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital, which she took up and failed to declare she was not qualified or registered.In court, Magistrate Glenn Bartley dismissed Lee's excuse that she was "confused" when she was offered the internship and said the student lied "day after day, shift after shift"."If she was truly confused she would have got advice," said Bartley.He added that she "deliberately misled the hospital" and continued to work under "repeated and calculated dishonesty" such as leaving her registration number blank on multiple assessment forms.

Image via ABC News

She was caught on 9 August 2021 when she told the hospital that she was "waiting for documentation" from UNSW

Although Lee wrote in a letter to the court that she completed 126 shifts "risking lives of patients and staff" with her guise, defence lawyer Razia Shafiq said the risk was quickly lessened one month into the job.Razia said Lee was found to be underperforming by February and was placed under additional supervision and guidance. The extra supervision meant Lee neither made decisions regarding patient treatment nor exclusively dealt with them.The lawyer also queried how could the error not be picked up earlier by hospital staff.The magistrate countered that the hospital was already overstretched by the COVID-19 pandemic and was not to blame."In a public hospital, the risks aren't supervised minute-to-minute, one error could lead to the worst case of death," Bartley said.

In her defence, Lee submitted to the court that she was under extreme financial and social pressure, which led to the circumstances

Lee told 9News that there were "a lot of factors that had led to this" and it was not just "a simple lie"."It's a bit of carelessness and recklessness at first and also a bit of social stress as well," said Lee, who hails from Penang."I'm approaching 30 years old and I feel like there's a bit of social pressure from society to do something I guess."During the interview, she apologised to all the patients she helped treat, especially if anything happened to them as a consequence of her actions.She added that her family has spent over AUD300,000 (RM900,000) for her to study in Australia.Although the magistrate said he was still not satisfied with some of her reasons, according to APHRA, he accepted that Lee demonstrated remorse and was spared jail.She was fined AUD10,000, ordered to pay APHRA legal costs of AUD3,400 (RM10,200), and undergo treatment for her mental health issues under the ICO, among other strict conditions.

Putra Mosque Accused Of Double Standards After Video Shows A VIP Allegedly Jumping Queue

Putra Mosque has been accused of practising preferential treatment after an incident that happened during Friday prayers, 10 September

A video clip that has been uploaded across social media platforms shows a group of people — said to be a VIP and his entourage — arriving at the mosque in Putrajaya in luxury vehicles and being ushered through the gates for prayers. However, a large crowd that had been waiting outside prior to the VIP's arrival were not allowed in, leading to the accusation that the mosque officials were practising double standards.The person recording the video can be heard expressing his disapproval, saying they have been waiting outside the mosque since 12.15noon, while the dignitaries who just arrived jumped the queue.

Amidst the controversy, the management of the Putra Mosque has come forward to address the incident by offering an explanation

The management, while denying the accusation of practising preferential treatment, has said that there were no double standards in allowing congregants to join Friday prayers, reported Malay Mail.The management stated that all its actions were based on guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs), such as the Friday prayers' quota system that is part of the COVID-19 preventive measures.Under the quota, only 300 people are allowed in a single prayer session, the management said, adding that this includes a quota for permanent congregants who have registered earlier."The mosque management also has an allocation for regular congregants who have registered earlier and declared their estimated time of arrival to ensure the number of attendees meets the quota."

According to the management, the number of congregants at the mosque for Friday prayers usually exceeds the current limit by 11am

It explained that the congregants were already informed and advised on the matter, adding that the main gate is closed once the quota is reached, and as such, those who turn up will not be allowed entry.The management, however, has said that it will do its best to provide the best services to its congregants, and promised to improve the quality of management, reported Free Malaysia Today.

Meanwhile, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Ahmad Marzuk Shaary said they will probe the VIP

"There should be no special treatment even to VIP and I would like to stress here that the 'elite (kayangan) cluster' does not exist in mosques," he said, adding that the mosque management should use their discretion and not submit to the whim of certain groups or individuals.According to the deputy minister, they will wait for an explanation on the matter by the mosque.

In another recent incident, it was alleged that firefighters lost precious seconds in responding to a fire and questions were raised about the department's ability to respond quickly and efficiently:

M'sian Turns Dining Room Into A 3D Printing 'Factory' For Face Shields To Help Frontliners

As the country grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, a Malaysian has decided to support local frontliners by producing 1,000 face shields from his home

In a contributed story published in Metro UK, Vishan Nair reportedly turned his dining room in his house into an assembly station for some 1,000 face shields he produced with a 3D printer.Face shields are part of the headgear in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). After Vishan learned from several viral social media posts that some frontliners were forced to use makeshift face shields at hospitals to protect themselves from COVID-19, he decided to put his 3D printer to good use.

Vishan said one face shield costs about GBP0.80 (approximately RM4.30) and takes an hour to produce

In the beginning, Vishan - who has a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Sheffield - self-funded the project with help from his family.However, as the demand for face shields soared, many kind-hearted Malaysians started donating to a team Vishan is part of, which consists of 18 volunteers.As of 30 March, Vishan and his team has distributed over 6,000 face shields to 40 different hospitals and health clinics across Malaysia."We all work from our homes and it takes roughly 40 minutes to print each shield, and another 20 minutes to punch holes into the acetate sheets and assemble a finished product," said Vishan."In my home, it has been very much a DIY family effort: my dad punches holes, my mum rounds off the corners of the visors, and my 13-year-old brother joins me in the assembly stage."He said all of his family members are eager to help and the project has brought his family closer to each other.Vishan said he and his family made 1,000 face shields over the course of four weeks, and they were delivered to hospitals via Grab.

Other than his 18-member team, Vishan is also in a bigger group that consists of 140 PPE builders

According to him, the members gather in a WhatsApp group and everyone helps each other by sharing advice and feedback about the 3D prints."It is an incredibly collaborative environment. I've made friends from the medical field, from doctors and nurses to administrators of medical institutions," shared Vishan."This experience has shown me the best of humanity. It transcends race, religion, and culture."He added that the nationwide effort has produced over 300,000 face shields to the frontliners.

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Vishan Nair (@shannair) on Mar 25, 2020 at 7:41am PDT

This is not the first time Vishan has made headlines.
In June last year, he led a University of Sheffield rocket team to great heights, coming out on top in the world's largest rocket engineering competition held in New Mexico, US.

His team managed to launch a rocket - named  'Helen' - to a height of 11.056km, beating the former record held by Project MARS, whose rocket flew to the height of 10.539km in 2000, reported The Star.In December last year, Vishan also received an Excellence Award, which recognises Malaysians' outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the nation. The award was presented by then deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.He said he hopes to return to the UK to undertake a PhD in Rocket Propulsion when the Movement Control Order (MCO) ends.

Bekas Suami Yang Gagal Membayar Nafkah Bekas Isteri & Anak Bakal Dikenakan Sekatan Bank

Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri iaitu Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa berkata, pihaknya bersama Jabatan Kehakiman Syariah Negeri (JKSN) mengadakan perbincangan bagi melaksanakan tindakan untuk bekas suami yang gagal membayar nafkah

Usaha ini juga bagi memperkasakan penguatkuasaan terhadap mereka yang ingkar terhadap perintah pihak mahkamah.Menurut laporan, Datuk Seri Mujahid juga mengatakan bahawa ramai kalangan wanita yang tidak diberikan keadilan oleh bekas suami dari sudut nafkah yang telah diputuskan oleh pihak mahkamah syariah.

Menurutnya lagi, perkara ini juga telah selesai dibincangkan diperingkat JKSN dan juga diperingkat kementerian. Beliau juga berharap supaya penguatkuasaan itu akan dipertingkatkan termasuk melibatkan isu sekatan bank untuk mereka.

Namun begitu, pihak mereka juga memerlukan sedikit autoriti untuk membuat tindakan ke atas suami-suami yang sukar/liat untuk membayar nafkah kepada bekas isteri dan juga anak-anak.Tegasnya lagi bahawa, keputusan yang dibuat oleh pihak mahkamah syariah apabila ditentukan perlu dibayar dan tidak seharusnya diambil mudah oleh individu yang terlibat di luar sana.

			Kebanyakan bekas isteri tiada tempat untuk mengadu dan terdapat kelemahan dari segi penguatkuasaan. Oleh itu, saya berharap penguatkuasaan juga mesti ditumpukan kepada soal keluarga di mana wanita-wanita yang diceraikan tidak mendapat hak mereka kerana sikap bekas suami yang tidak bertanggungjawab.

The recall, along with Samsung's decision to halt sales of the new Galaxy Note 7, is an extraordinary step for a tech giant to take.While Samsung sold 2.5 million of the Note 7 so far, there have only been 35 cases of the Galaxy Note 7 catching fire, Samsung's head of smartphone business says.

In its official statement, the South Korean company said that it is committed to producing "the highest quality products" and "take every incident report from our valued customers very seriously"

"We conducted a thorough investigation and found a battery cell issue.To date (as of September 1) there have been 35 cases that have been reported globally and we are currently conducting a thorough inspection with our suppliers to identify possible affected batteries in the market. However, because our customers' safety is an absolute priority at Samsung, we have stopped sales of the Galaxy Note7," it said.

Koh Dong-jin, head of the Samsung's smartphone business, while expressing regret over the unprecedented scale of the recall, said, "I can't comment on exactly how much the cost will be, but it pains my heart that it will be such a big number," according to Reuters

You already have Galaxy Note 7? Samsung will replace it

"For customers who already have Galaxy Note7 devices, we will voluntarily replace their current device with a new one over the coming weeks," Samsung said, adding that it plans to replace also retailer inventories and units in transit.

The recall is also applicable for Galaxy Note 7 owners in Malaysia, where the Note 7 has yet to go on sale but 4,000 devices were grabbed up via pre-order sales online and limited sales via telcos

"We acknowledge the inconvenience this may cause in the market but this is to ensure that Samsung continues to deliver the highest quality products to our customers. We are working closely with our partners to ensure the replacement experience is as convenient and efficient as possible," its official statement read.You can contact Samsung Malaysia at 1-800-88-7799 for further enquiries.

The KFC Chizza Has Finally Arrived In Malaysia

Earlier this year, KFC Singapore threw foodies all over the world into a tizzy when they introduced a mouth-watering chicken and pizza combo - the KFC Chizza - for the very first time

Unfortunately, it was only available in Singapore back then.

Well, guess what? The Chizza has finally arrived in Malaysia!

Slightly different from its Singaporean counterpart, KFC Malaysia's Chizza mashes up the crunchy Hot & Spicy chicken fillet with classic pizza toppings like tomato pizza sauce, diced pineapples, onions, herbs, and gooey mozarella cheese.

Ahead of its official launch in KFC outlets nationwide tomorrow, we got to have a first taste of the long-awaited Chizza! Check out the giant pizza box they arrived in:

Image via SAYS

Though we couldn't resist tucking into the chicken + pizza goodness the moment we opened the box (it smelled really good!), we managed to set aside a few seconds to take a few pics of the Chizza. :p

  A post shared by SAYS (@saysdotcom) on Nov 19, 2017 at 8:35pm PST

Priced from RM7.90, the Chizza will make its debut in KFC Malaysia outlets nationwide from 21 November onwards, while stocks last

It is also available as a combo meal, which comes with fries and a regular carbonated drink, with the option of adding a piece of Original or Hot & Spicy chicken.

Meanwhile, Pizza Hut recently launched its first digital concept store with self-order takeaway kiosks:

Putrajaya Wants To Enforce A Trolley Segregation Law For Non-Halal Items In Shopping Malls

Newly appointed Minister of the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Hamzah Zainudin  is considering a proposal to enforce a law that will make compulsory the segregation of trolleys for halal and non-halal food items in shopping malls, reports TMI

Hamzah (front) says his Ministry wants to enforce a law segregating trolleys for halal and non-halal food items.
Image via The Malaysian Insider

According to Hamzah, who was formerly the Deputy Foreign Minister, the move was to make sure that Muslims would not have to "worry" if the goods they bought had mixed with non-halal items

"The ministry plans to make special regulations so that people could differentiate the trolleys for use with non-halal products," Hamzah was quoted as saying in Utusan Malaysia, adding that, "the segregation can be done with non-halal products using a red trolley while halal food items using another coloured trolley"."This law is the best way to put an end to the doubts of consumers but research has to be carried out as it involves a huge amount of money. Although supermarkets have their own policies, we want the law to be standardised for the good of the consumers."

To create a larger segregation, the government might also seek to have different checkout counters for halal and non-halal products

Hamzah said supermarket proprietors also have to ensure that they prepare a special check-out counter for non-halal products. "This is because there are consumers paying for non-halal food items at regular counters. This has led to doubts and problems among Muslim consumers," he was reported as saying.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Meanwhile, the Ministry's trolley segregation plan already has the backing of the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association (FOMCA) and Muslim Consumers' Association (PPIM)

FOMCA's Deputy President, however, said that Putrajaya must look into the practicality of such a proposal, adding that the association agreed with the idea, especially to prevent the mixing of halal and non-halal products, which could lead to cross-contamination

According to Mohd Yusof Abdul Rahman, the issue of halal or permitted by Islamic law could arise if both halal and non-halal items came into contact in trolleys."There is no issue when it comes to dry food items, but it will be if it is fresh. For Muslims, this is a sensitive matter," he told The Malaysian Insider."But, look at the practicality aspect, too. If it is difficult to use trolley maybe shoppers can use baskets instead. The baskets can be placed at the non-halal section and later put inside the trolley."He said no issue would arise as long as there was no direct contact between fresh food items, such as pork, with the trolleys. He also said that while most people did not mind, it could become a problem if some started to complain.Yusof said the issue arose because of the increase of awareness among Muslims."The awareness of the halal-related issue has increased among Muslims, that's why when it comes to stuff like this, they are concerned," The Malaysian Insider quoted him as saying.

On the other hand, Muslim Consumers' Association's Nadzim Johan welcomed the plan saying that it would teach Malaysians to respect restrictions and needs of people from different races and religions

"It is a good suggestion as it will educate society to understand restriction and needs of people from different races and religions. It may seem small but can make Muslims uncomfortable. Just like the instance of putting a dog in a trolley," he said, referring to a case that went viral recently where a shopper was photographed placing her pet dog in a supermarket trolley. It ended up with the local mosque committee scrubbing all the store’s trolleys to ensure they were hygienic, plus being safe to use for Muslim customers.Nadzim said people would not view the proposal as some kind of restriction, if they understood the reasons behind the need to implement it. "Most of us don't understand and take it for granted. Even the Muslims don't really understand the issue. So, it is better for us to segregate it," he said, adding that the association has received several complaints on the matter.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Nadzim said it was necessary as some mall operators even placed non-halal items at the halal section, adding that if implemented, operators would profit, especially those targeting Muslims

"Sometimes, they sell cat foods which are not halal or brush made out of boar bristles at the halal section, so the level of understanding must be improved. Without them realising it, some non-halal items are place at the halal section."When asked how this would affect operating cost for malls, he said operators would profit, especially those targeting Muslims."Supermarkets that follow (the proposal) will receive more support, like places with Surau will get more support from the Muslims. I think it is a positive move."

        themalaysianinsider.com

The proposal, if carried out, would represent yet another uptick in rising Islamic conservatism in Malaysia led by government officials

Recently, there has been several cases in Malaysia of non-Muslim women being prevented by security guards from entering some government departments unless they were "appropriately dressed". There was a case as recently as last week when a toddler was denied treatment at two government clinics and a public hospital because his mother and aunt were deemed to be "inappropriately dressed".

Pernah Rasa Nak Terjatuh & Kena Himpit Semasa Tidur? Ini Sebab Yang Mungkin Anda Tak Tahu

Pernah tak sewaktu anda sedang tidur, anda terasa seolah-olah anda nak terjatuh dan kadangkala seperti dihimpit?

Image via Pinterest

Fenomena rasa seperti nak terjatuh ini adalah fenomena biasa yang sering dialami manusia biasa. Jika anda pernah mengalaminya, jangan takut kerana ia bukanlah sesuatu perkara serius yang perlu anda risaukan.Fenomena ini dinamakan sebagai hypnic jerk. Sebenarnya sewaktu kita mula bermimpi, tubuh badan kita akan berada dalam mode off. Tetapi waktu ini, otot kita masih lagi aktif dan disebabkan itu fenomena ini akan terjadi.

Menurut kajian, seseorang yang terlalu penat, kurang tidur atau sedang stress akan melalui fenomena ini tanpa mengira umur dan jantina

Image via www.clubpimble.com

Saintis menyatakan bahawa hypnic jerk paling biasa terjadi apabila anda tidur dalam keadaan yang sangat letih. Pada peringkat awal tidur, kadar denyutan jantung dan pernafasan anda akan bergerak perlahan. Tetapi kadang-kadang apabila anda sangat letih, otak akan terus melalui peringkat ini yang mana anda akan terlelap lebih cepat. Selepas itu, otak akan keliru dan menyangka badan anda sudah tidak lagi berfungsi atau mungkin telah mati.Kemudian, otak akan design sejenis mimpi untuk cuba 'membangunkan. anda. Kalau fikir-fikir balik, hebat betul otak kita ni kan? Mampu bekerja 24 jam hatta sedang tidur sekalipun.

Fenomena lain yang sering kita lalui semasa tidur adalah kadangkala kita rasa 'dihimpit' sewaktu tidur. Yang ini ramai yang kaitkan dengan perkara mistik. Errrr...

Rasanya memang ramai pernah melalui fenomena 'dihimpit' sewaktu tidur ni. Macam-macam version cerita kita pernah dengar. Contohnya, kita tersedar tetapi mata rasa berat nak buka. Ada juga yang dapat membuka mata, tetapi gagal menggerakkan anggota badan yang lain.

Image via nikainaa.blogspot.com

Tetapi menurut kajian sains, fenomena ‘kena tindih’ ini dinamakan sebagai sleep paralysis atau pun istilah melayunya adalah 'lumpuh dalam tidur'. Keadaan ini terjadi apabila seseorang itu seperti yang dinyatakan sebelum ini, tidak dapat menggerakkan tubuh buat sementara.Keadaan lumpuh sementara ketika tidur ini biasanya terjadi ketika dua keadaan iaitu dari sedar dan mula mahu tidur (hypnagogic paralysis) atau pun bila mana kita baru-baru hendak terjaga dari tidur yang lena (hypnopompic paralysis).

Untuk pengetahuan anda, manusia normal akan mengalami beberapa peringkat tidur

Bila tubuh mula masuk ke peringkat Rapid Eye Movement (REM) iaitu tidur yang nyenyak (peringkat ini bebola mata manusia bergerak-gerak), otak akan memberikan isyarat kepada tubuh agar berehat dan switch off. Jadi, tubuh kita akan switch off untuk tidur.Otak manusia juga mempunyai butang switch off yang dipanggil sebagai Reticular Activating System (RAS). Jadi, bila otak kita sudah switch off tubuh kita, selepas itu otak akan switch off sistem RAS ni.Selepas peringkat ini, tubuh badan manusia akan berada dalam keadaan yang dipanggil fungsi automatik, iaitu hanya organ seperti jantung sahaja yang berdegup untuk pernafasan. Diibaratkan, kalau komputer, pada masa ini dalam keadaan hibernate dan hanya *screen saver*yang muncul di skrin komputer.

Image via www.celikvitamin.com

Jadi apabila kita dah tersedar, RAS ini akan di-switch on kembali dan kita akan berada dalam keadaan sedar sepenuhnya

Namun, kadangkala otak tidak memberikan isyarat kepada tubuh untuk switch on kembali yang menyebabkan tubuh kita berada dalam keadaan lumpuh seketika.Inilah yang menyebabkan anda sering rasa 'dihimpit'. Kedengaran agak seram kan? Tetapi itulah hakikatnya menurut sains. Keadaan paralisis tidak semestinya terjadi sepenuhnya, ada masanya hanya sebahagian tubuh saja yang kena. Sesetengah kes, ada individu yang boleh menggerakkan ibu jari walaupun tubuhnya lumpuh seketika.

Image via www.mensxp.com

Paling menakutkan bila keadaan ini terjadi dan datang dengan pakej halusinasi sama ada dalam bentuk audio, visual dan tactile

Sewaktu fenomena ini berlaku, anda mungkin terdengar bunyi pelik-pelik, lihat benda bukan-bukan dan deria sentuhan terasa ada sesuatu menindih.Sebenarnya banyak sebab yang boleh mencetuskan fenomena ini. Contohnya:1. Tidur dalam posisi terlentang terlalu lama.2. Jadual tidur yang tak menentu (irregular sleep clock).3. Tidak cukup waktu tidur (sleep/rest deprivation).4. Stress.5. Penukaran gaya hidup secara mendadak. Contohnya aktiviti harian tak banyak menggunakan fizikal seperti duduk pejabat sahaja tetapi besoknya aktiviti fizikal yang mendadak seperti mendaki gunung atau kayuh basikal 100 kilometer.7. Orang yang ada penyakit narcolepsy.Sumber: www.celikvitamin.com, www.bbc.com

Netizens are furious after spotting the NFC Touch 'n Go (TnG) cards on Shopee that resellers listed for ridiculous prices

Twitter user @roku_shikii took to the social media platform yesterday, 24 August, to share his dissatisfaction over the concerning price of the cards, saying, "Who the heck bought these cards in bulk and then sold them for up to 800% more than the original price?!"

Anak setan mana borong kad tng pastu jual sampai 800% harga asal ni? Takde tindakan ke @MyTouchnGo @kpdnhep pic.twitter.com/8XvDf1HD3n— W∆K (@roku_shikii) August 24, 2022

According to a screenshot attached to the netizen's tweet, the NFC-enabled TnG card, which originally costs RM10, was seen listed for RM75 and RM80 on the online shopping platform.The netizen also demanded Touch 'n Go and the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) look into this matter.In the same thread, the Twitter user shared the Shopee profiles of the sellers.

A screenshot by a Twitter user believed to be from a reseller's Instagram story, the cards were priced at RM120 a piece."(I) don't mark up the price for fun, okay. It's because the supplier increased the price," read the text in the screenshot.

Another person shared a screenshot of the same card being sold for RM198.The name of the listing reads, "Couple Number 2 pieces Touch 'n Go NFC card ending number 567 limited number."The listing was believed to be discovered on an online marketplace known as Carousell.

Touch 'n Go responded to one of the tweets by advising the netizen to buy the card from TNG Hub instead of resellers online

Help One Man Deliver 1,000 Solar Lights Into 5 Flooded Orang Asli Villages

You saw what's left of the villages in the east coast after being submerged in floodwaters. It was the worst case of flooding in Malaysia since 1971.

Villagers salvaging what they can in Manik Urai.
Image via says.com

Currently, RM200 million is needed just to rebuild the Orang Asli settlements that have been severely affected by the floodwaters

Hasnan Hassan, Director-General of the Department of Orang Asli (JKOA), said a total of 253 aboriginal residents were affected by the floods on 28 December 2014, resulting in bridges, roads and houses in the affected areas requiring repairs, reported FMT on 20 January 2015.In Pahang itself, Hasnan anticipated that the cost of reconstruction in 67 villages would be about RM50 million. “We anticipate that more money is needed in Kelantan, especially in Gua Musang and Kuala Krai for aboriginal settlements in remote and isolated areas,” he said.The Director-General also noted that in Kelantan, about 2,000 students from the Orang Asli settlements failed to go to school, after access to villages was damaged due to the floods.

Amidst this crisis, one man from Ipoh is trying to help rebuild the lives of Orang Asli villagers in Kelantan and Pahang. His name is Kiran Kreer. He is a photojournalist who is using his skill and zeal to lighten up the lives of those families living with no electricity.

The homes and livelihood of the Orang Aslis in the Kelantan and Pahang areas are badly affected due to the heavy floodwaters. Minorities and already living in poverty, the Orang Aslis are currently living in temporary tents/shelters, without proper food aid as their locations have been cut off. In addition to all that, they are also forced to live with no electricity.

How? Through his solar light project called Give Them Light.

Kiran wants to send 1,000 Nokero solar lights into 5 different villages (500 families) around the flood-affected areas. He believes the solar lights are more than just another item to be donated.

"It is a gift of hope, to pass on a message that people around the world still care for and see the impoverished as part of society."

The lights, Kiran says, provide clean energy that enables mothers to feed their babies, children to read and families to get together

Writing on a donation section Kiran set up under his website, he says an expedition is being organised into these areas.The lights will be ordered in batches and sent into the villages by 4x4 wheel ground transportation or by air, each family will receive 2 solar lights including any other help that might be needed. The expedition team consist of a group of friends who will also take in food aid, living aid and medical aid.

This on-the-ground project not only has the potential to directly impact the lives of villagers but also comes with its practical cause as many people around the world continue to live without electricity, a utilitarian privilege that most of us take for granted

"They use a rubber type on a wood plat to scrap all the corn out into bags, later drying them under the sun and packing into bags to be sold at the nearest market in Dumarao, notes the caption below the above image that's posted on Kiran's website. "With (solar) lights indoors they can work longer after dark, also increasing the daily source of income."

While the Give Them Light project, already into its second year, is an ongoing project that aims to donate 10,000 solar lights all around Asia, Kiran is currently seeking funds for 1,000 solar lights to be donated to Orang Aslis affected by the east coast floods

The solar lights will provide the families with green energy for the next 1 to 2 years, saving them unnecessary expenditure of buying traditional modes of light like candles and kerosene.While Kiran, better known as iMKIRAN, has no official deadline, he is hoping to get these 1,000 solar lights donated by the end of February 2015.

Team 1U Or Team Sunway: Malaysians Debate Which Mall Is Easier To Navigate

A debate on which shopping mall is easier to navigate recently sparked on Twitter and many Malaysians are now split into two teams: Team One Utama (1U) or Team Sunway Pyramid.
Let's hear what both teams have to say:

Team 1U

Image via One World Hotel

In this corner, Team 1U is of the opinion that the second-largest mall in Malaysia is relatively easy to navigate as it is more or less built like a rectangle, and therefore, the floor plan is simple to figure out.In terms of Sunway Pyramid, Team 1U has said that the mall is convoluted like a web, and some say they get lost in the mall every time they visit it. Some even described it as a maze."1 Utama is so straightforward. I swear [Sunway] Pyramid is cursed," one netizen commented in the Twitter thread. Even a tourist from Singapore said that they were able to easily navigate 1U after spending just one morning there.

Team Sunway Pyramid

On the other side, many on Team Sunway Pyramid have said that the mall is more shaped like a circle and wherever you go, you'll always be able to navigate yourself back to your starting point.On top of that, they also said that Sunway Pyramid is equipped with updated floor directories everywhere around the building, unlike 1U's outdated ones."Pyramid's inner layout is almost like an '8', except one side is not connected. That's it," one netizen tried to explain."1 Utama's layout is half-Narnia, half neutron star collapse, and gradual degradation of gravity."Another netizen said that Sunway Pyramid has a mobile app with the mall's directory that is able to direct shoppers around the mall like Waze.

Image via Twitter

One lone netizen was on the fence and rationalised that whoever frequents either mall will have an easier time navigating the building

Image via Twitter

Well, it seems like no real conclusion to this debate was reached, so we'll leave it to you to decide if 1U or Sunway Pyramid is easier to navigate.
Here are the floor plans for both shopping malls to help you make a decision:

Meanwhile, this writer over here still resorts to asking the security guards for directions in both malls. :')

Malaysians will debate over anything and everything:

Critics Worried Elite Kindergartens For M40 Proposed By KEMAS Will Widen Education Gap

The Community Development Department (KEMAS) is considering creating an elite version of its public kindergartens for families with higher financial capacity

According to Harian Metro, a proposal to create an elite 'tabika' with a better curriculum for four to six-year-olds has been drafted and will soon be presented to the Cabinet for approval.

According to Deputy Rural Development Minister I Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad, the elite kindergartens will be targeted at middle-income parents

"The elite tabika is proposed only for students whose parents have a high financial capacity because the fees are much higher than the existing KEMAS tabikas, which cost between RM5 and RM25 per month," he said after a talk in Alor Setar on Tuesday, 29 September."We are not forcing parents to send their children to the elite tabika because 10,900 normal tabikas are still operating, but the elite tabika will provide a better curriculum than the normal ones," he explained."If the Cabinet agrees, we will realise this project at certain locations specially for parents from middle-income households (M40)."He also said that if the Cabinet approves the proposal, a tabika Act will also be brought to Parliament for debate.

However, some critics of the proposal have emerged, claiming that the elite kindergarten will contribute to an education gap between the rich and poor

Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh told Malaysiakini that the government should seek to improve the quality of early childhood education across all schools and not create a bigger divide among the children.She also said calling the new tabikas "elite" was in itself discriminatory.Batu Kawan MP Kasthuri Patto also took to Twitter regarding the issue, saying, "It is not the government's duty to start elite tabikas for the affluent.""The government should prepare policies to ensure the socio-economic gap is narrowed between all layers of the community," she wrote."For those who can afford it, there are facilities by private parties for the elite. KEMAS tabikas are under the government, not private."

Netizens have also joined in to criticise the idea

"So tired of fighting for the equality of education for all. Isn't this great, teaching children from young like this," said a Twitter user.

Image via Twitter

While another said, "So frustrated to read about the elite tabikas. Why should education be given based on social status?""Education is a basic human right and the best education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their family income. Why do we need to create a gap between rich and poor?"

Image via Twitter

This netizen said, "Upgrade the tabika education system that is already there. Make sure no child gets left behind, regardless of their background. That's what you should do."

Survey Finds Over 87% Of Klang Valley People Drive To Work Alone

A survey found that 87.3% of people in the Klang Valley drive alone to their workplaces in the central business district of Kuala Lumpur

The survey was conducted by the Centre for Governance and Political Studies (Cent-GPS) on people who drive to work from Ampang, Seri Kembangan, Sungai Buloh, and Petaling Jaya.A total of 4,689 drivers were surveyed during the morning rush hour from 23 October to 25 October, reported New Straits Times.

Cent-GPS attributed the high percentage of single-occupant vehicles in the city to affordable fuel and toll fares

Image via Choo Choy May/Malay Mail

"From our literature review, the biggest correlation we find with high levels of single-driver commuters is the cost of fuel and toll," the survey by the Kuala Lumpur-based firm said."The fairly affordable cost of fuel and toll in Malaysia is not a big enough incentive to urge people to seek a carpooling or public transport option."If the government were to increase the cost of toll and fuel, the most affected would be the B40 group, making driving to work alone a luxury afforded by the rich."

The study said since it does not cost much to drive, Klang Valley folks prefer it as it gives them the comfort of some 'alone time'

It said that drivers prefer spending the morning driving alone to gather their thoughts, or listen to their favourite podcasts or music, reported Malay Mail.

"Some even complained that the cost of parking at an LRT or MRT station was the same as parking at work," the study said."A few others complained that when they do make carpooling arrangements, their colleagues would often wake up late, all the more making the driver late for work as well."

Cent-GPS cautioned the government against abolishing tolls or continuing fuel subsidies

Image via Free Malaysia Today

It contended that the move to abolish tolls will be a "back-stepping function" for the nation."Tolls need to be seen as a function in a developing country that can begin to regulate and reduce the number of cars on the road," the think tank explained, reported The Star."As we head into a decade where climate change will determine our livelihoods, these measures, albeit painful and unpopular, need to be taken for the greater good and for the cleanliness of our children's future."

When compared to other nations, Klang Valley ranked the highest in the world in the single-driver category

The study stated that only 56% of workers in Spain commute alone by driving, while 44% carpooled or use public transport, reported New Straits Times.A nationwide study in the United States last year found that 66% of drivers were single-driver commuters, while the other 34% practiced carpool."In Belgium, the number of single-driver commuters has been declining at a rate of 5% a year. This group is now believed to be only around 30% of road users," Cent-GPS said.

You can watch the video of the study here:

Our latest survey reveals that a majority of Malaysians drive alone to work.After surveying close to 5000 vehicles, we found:-87.3% travel alone to work-11.6% travel with 1 passenger-0.9% travel with 2 passengersClearly, Malaysian drivers prefer to ride alone.

Why were three dog groomers needed to hold down Bobby? These are some of the dangers pet groomers face daily

Getting bite or scratched by a dog is a very real danger that accompanies dog grooming and it can happen at any time. Even dogs that seem to be docile and kind natured can snap without warning. You must always be on your toes.

        doggroomeradvice.com

Pet Grooming Practitioners (PGP) may suffer from traumas (bites, scratches, bruising etc.) caused by excited or temperamental or difficult dogs.

        groomologist.com

They also suffer strains and injuries to muscles, tendons and joints, especially to back, arms and hands due to heavy lifting, repetitive hand movements, awkward body posturing and positioning.

        groomologist.com

Continuous, gentle and secure restraint should be on their mind all the time, especially when pet is on the grooming table. The grooming arm should have a loop with a quick release in case you need to disconnect the pet quickly.
