The horrific discovery has prompted an investigation into the incident

However, the catering company, Sancak Inflight Service, has denied that the severed head came from their kitchen

A spokesperson from the company commented on the issue, saying, "We did not use any of the foreign objects that were supposedly in the food when cooking (due to the technical and thermal conditions used in the in-flight catering services)."The catering company went on to claim that the snake head was added on at a later time, reported The Sun.Sancak Inflight, an airline services company co-owned by Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines, indicates on its website that its customers include Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways, and easyJet, reported South China Morning Post.However, in an email to SAYS, while Malaysia Airlines confirmed that Sancak Inflight Service was employed for their catering services, the airline no longer has any active contract with the company as Malaysia Airlines no longer operates in Instanbul, Turkey.

Following this latest incident, many other employees complained about the poor meals they received on the airline.Based on a report by Gazete Duvar, beetles and snails were previously found in in-flight meals onboard SunExpress by crew members.

Betul Ke Prosedur 'Swab Test' Rasa Sakitnya Sampai Ke Otak? Ini Penjelasan Buat Anda

Umum mengetahui kes peningkatan wabak Covid-19 di negara kita semakin membimbangkan dan meningkat saban hari

Individu yang dijangkiti juga adakalanya tidak mengetahui yang mereka telah pun mendapat penyakit tersebut.Oleh kerana wabak Covid-19 amat cepat merebak kepada manusia melalui pelbagai cara, sebab itu perlunya ujian saringan Covid-19 bagi mengesan individu yang positif terhadap wabak berkenaan.

Image via News Straits Times

Antara soalan yang sering ditanyakan adalah "adakah sakit melakukan swab test ini?"Disebabkan itu, maka ramailah individu yang merasa kurang selesa dan ada takut untuk mengambil sampel swab test tersebut.Menurut sumber, ianya bukanlah satu prosedur yang menyakitkan, tetapi ia lebih kepada merasa tidak selesa kerana sampel itu diambil daripada hidung (nasofarinks).Ini antara jawapan yang anda perlu tahu.

1. Kenapa mesti diambil dari hidung?

Pasti ramai yang tertanya-tanya kenapa sampel swab test perlu diambil dari hidung, bukannya dari mulut (orofarinks)? Walaupun ia seakan logik untuk dipertimbangkan, tapi pengambilan sampel swab test melalui hidung adalah lebih tepat dan mudah.

         View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Nabilzira (@nabilzira) on Oct 5, 2020 at 8:35pm PDT

Ia kerana bagi membolehkan doktor untuk mengakses ruang belakang mulut dan hidung tanpa individu tersebut seperti mahu muntah.Jadi, kerana ruangan hidung yang agak sempit, ia menyebabkan adanya sedikit rasa sakit dan pedih ketika melakukan swab test sehingga ada yang menyifatkan otak mereka turut merasa ditusuk.

2. Sampel yang diambil dari mulut

Image via The Guardian

Semasa awal jangkitan, sampel akan diambil daripada hidung dan mulut kerana mereka masih lagi tidak boleh memastikan mana satu yang lebih tepat untuk mengesan jangkitan.Namun, setelah melakukan kajian, ternyata cecair yang terkumpul di belakang hidung atau ruangan 'nasofarinks' mempunyai jumlah virus yang lebih tinggi pada fasa awal jangkitan.

3. Perkara yang perlu dibuat semasa sampel diambil

Sampel swab test akan diambil dalam masa beberapa minit saja bagi setiap seorang. Tetapi, ada beberapa perkara yang perlu diketahui semasa sampel diambil.Tidak perlu tahan nafasTidak perlu bergerak (risau menyebabkan kesakitan dan kecederaan)Sentiasa berada dalam keadaan tenangSemasa mengambil sampel tersebut, anggota kesihatan juga perlu memakai pakaian PPE yang lengkap tidak kira di mana mereka berada untuk tujuan yang sama.

Image via The Edge Markets

4. Pengambilan sampel air liur

Dalam satu kajian oleh Universiti Yale, keputusan menggunakan sampel air liur agak memberangsangkan walaupun ia masih belum disemak oleh barisan panel ahli akademik.Kajian tersebut melibatkan pengambilan 121 sampel air liur dan sampel swab hidung daripada 44 subjek mendapati kebanyakan subjek akan merasai kedua-dua kaedah pengambilan sampel swab bagi membuat perbandingan secara langsung.

Image via Astro Awani

Selepas dianalisis, mereka mendapati pengambilan sampel swab hidung mempunyai risiko negatif palsu yang tinggi.Namun, pengambilan sampel swab hidung boleh memberikan keputusan negatif hari ini namun positif pada keesokan harinya.

Duduk rumah dan amalkan kebersihan diri sentiasa okay. Stay safe guys!

A Man Brought His Pet Chicken To KFC Singapore And The Manager Thought It Was A Dog

Yesterday, 14 November, a man claimed that he brought his pet chicken to a KFC branch in Singapore but was not allowed to enter because the restaurant manager "mistook" his bird for a dog

Shannon Lim wrote on Facebook that he had explained to the manager a few times that his chicken was indeed not a dog.

However, the manager continued to deny his chicken's entry for fear that "Muslims would be offended"

"Please tell me she hasn't been mixing the two animals up the entire time. Is that why the thighs have been getting so big lately?! Is this #KFD?!" he wrote.

Here's a photo of Lim's chicken:

Image via Shannon Lim/Facebook

After about a minute of trying to convince the manager, Lim gave up and resorted to leaving his bird in a carrier outside of the fast food outlet

As a result, he and a "nice Malay family" then apparently watched "a group of Chinese, Malay, and Indian children try to steal the chicken and/or take selfies with it."We're unsure as to why Lim brought the chicken to KFC in the first place but based on his replies on the post, he seemed to have been more amused than upset over the incident.

Back in January, Lim posted on a Singaporean page about one of his roosters, named Marilyn, who went missing

Image via Shannon Lim/Facebook

Concerned for Marilyn's safety, Lim asked the public to contact him immediately if they spotted his beloved two-feet tall, black rooster."He can't fly more than a few feet and it's unlikely he swam the 200m to shore for no reason. We don't have dogs and there's no signs of predation. The neighbours beagle mixes are still happily swimming about, so crocs are unlikely... we'd really like to know what happened to our boy ," wrote Lim, who runs several farms in Singapore.Lim told SAYS that unfortunately, Marilyn had not been found. However, its son went on to win best rooster at the first Singapore backyard chicken competition.

Similar to Lim's KFC incident, a museum in Japan spends most of its day refusing entry to two cats trying to get in:

                These 2 Cats Have Been Trying To Enter A Japanese Museum For Years

The museum now sells merchandise of the feline duo.

The couple murdered their son Adrian Teoh Wai Kit, who was eight, on 26 May 2017.The eldest of their two children, Adrian was caned to death by his parents, according to reports.During the sentencing earlier today, Judge Datuk Noorin Badaruddin heard that the prosecution had succeeded in proving the case against the parents beyond a reasonable doubt."There was overwhelming evidence that the couple had committed murder and the prosecution has brought forward a case that is beyond a reasonable doubt," said Noorin.

The couple, Aaron Teoh Eng Wan and his wife, En Sit Mooi, were charged under Section 302 read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which provides for the mandatory death penalty if found guilty

The parents were also charged under Section 31 (1) (a) of the Child Act 2001 read together with Section 31 (5) of the same act which is punishable under Section 31 (1) of the same act.They physically abused their son repeatedly using two canes at the same place, time, and date.For this, they were sentenced to eight years in jail from the date they were arrested on 26 May 2017.

The victim was repeatedly physically abused by his parents, according to results from the pathology laboratory which confirmed old injuries, traces of rib fractures, and new injuries which caused his death

During the trial, while the prosecution presented 28 witnesses to the stand, the defence team presented two witnesses, namely the husband and wife who chose to testify under oath on the witness stand.The pathologist's testimony revealed that the cause of the boy's death was due to extensive subcutaneous and muscle haemorrhage, due to multiple blunt force trauma.The testimony of other prosecution witnesses such as the chemist also confirmed that there was deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) belonging to Eng Wan and the victim on a cane found at the scene.Additionally,  the closed-circuit television (CCTV) recording at the Regalia Business Centre, Subang Jaya, showed En dragging the victim, who was weak and feeble, several times.

Man Sends 'Fan Mail' To KFC While Ordering Online So He Can Get The Best Chicken Part

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

A man recently went viral after he included a peculiar request while ordering KFC through foodpanda

On 1 July, Facebook user Darryl Ezreen posted several photos along with a caption that read, "Thank you, KFC!"The post has since garnered over 5,700 shares and 4,400 likes.

Image via Darryl Ezreen (Facebook)

In the request section on the foodpanda app, Darryl expressed his true love for the fast-food chain.
He wrote, "If KFC has a million fans, then I am one of them."

"If KFC has ten fans, then I am one of them. If KFC has only one fan, then it is me. If KFC doesn't have any fans, that means I am no longer on this earth. If the world is against KFC, then I am against the world. I will love KFC until my last breath," he wrote further.In the end, he ended the note with, "Please give thighs."

The man shared with SAYS that he took inspiration from his friend who used to write poems to their football team manager so he could be one of the main players."So I thought, why don't I try using it when ordering KFC?" he said."The pandemic has made things difficult for us to travel to our favourite KFC outlet. It's easier when we're at the outlet because we can ask the staff personally for our favourite parts using facial expressions and tone of voice."But ordering online? That's a challenge!" he added.He also noted that he has ordered KFC online multiple times and tried many different tactics to get his favourite chicken part. However, his efforts were to no avail.

Each session will be conducted by credible counsellors and clinical psychologists, ensuring quality services for those who need them

To sign up for one of their therapy sessions, you will have to fill up a Google form that is available on Nyawa's Instagram page.Among some of the information you will need to provide includes your full name, email address, telephone number, and monthly income. The monthly income column is not intrusive to ones personal earnings, merely requiring you to stipulate the range of income you receive.The organisation also takes their effort a step further, asking you to provide a brief overview of your current situation, and what you hope to gain from these therapy sessions.

Nyawa has also recruited a slew of qualified professionals for the role of the volunteer counsellors, requiring all those enlisted to provide their key area of speciality (such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies). The recruited counsellors also speak the language of your preference, be it English, Malay, Tamil, or Mandarin, so you will be able to communicate with the therapist in your mother tongue.

Each therapy session will be conducted online to easily access those who live outside the Klang Valley

A Sabahan Housewife Recounts How She Felt When Her Father Forced Her To Marry At 13

On Facebook, slightly less than an eight-minute-long video shows a housewife in Sabah narrating her experience, amidst tears, as she recalls being forced to marry a total stranger when she was just 13

The video was uploaded on the social media platform by SAWO (Sabah Women's Action-Resource Group) an NGO in Kota Kinabalu working towards gender equality.Breaking down in tears as the woman in the video recalls the early days of her marriage, for the 59-year-old, the decades passed have not eased her pain of being forced to marry to a stranger at an age when she was meant to play and study.

Image via SAWO (Sabah Women's Action-Resource Group)

"I always wanted to go to secondary school. I got good grades when I was sitting for my primary school exam but unfortunately, I didn't get to go," she says in the video posted earlier this week

She was forced to get married when she was barely 13 years old."I didn't know anything. I only knew that a man came. I was told to wear something for the wedding but I didn't know anything about marriage."I didn't even know that the man was my husband. We just sat there."Everyone else was looking at us, clapping their hands but I wasn't even sure if I felt happy. Why? Because I didn't know what marriage was."Since I was still young I didn't know the meaning of marriage, what happens after that. That was how I felt. I felt scared," recalls the woman, who was identified as aunty Sail in the video posted by Sabah Women's Action-Resource Group.

Aunty Sail recalls how disappointed she felt with her life

"I was devasted. I was crying so much. My father saw me crying and he caned me. I told him, 'Dad, I really want to go to school.'"I held my mother. I said, 'Mom, please persuade dad. I want to go to school,'" she said, adding that her father beat her just for wanting to go to school.

By the time she turned 20, she attempted suicide twice. Living with unfulfilled dreams and heartbreak, her life had no meaning.

"In the past, I was really heartbroken. I wanted to kill myself. I attempted twice. At the time, I really wanted to do it and drink poison," says aunty Sail, trying to hide her decades of pain in her trembling voice."I didn't even want to get married. But I thought, even if I tried so I don't have the courage," she says as she covers her face while crying in an attempt to hide her tears.

Image via SAWO (Sabah Women's Action-Resource Group)

However, despite her struggles and disappointment in life, aunty Sail says she is still grateful, adding, "I am always strong. So everything I have been through, I have already forgiven them."

This Dish Sponge And Detergent Set Found In Kuching Is Not What It Seems

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

A cafe in Kuching is literally giving 'pencuci mulut' a whole new meaning

KANTIN at The Granary, a cafe situated in Kuching, Sarawak, has a special dessert that could quite literally clean your palate after a delicious meal: a dish sponge and detergent soap.Yep, you read that right.The cafe introduced a rather special yet unusual menu item, served by a waiter wearing yellow dish gloves squirting lime-green soap over a sudsy dish sponge.At first glance, it doesn't look like anything anyone would eat, but after the first bite, you'd be eager to finish it off.

Image via KANTIN at The Granary (Facebook)

In actuality, the 'soapy sponge' is actually a delicious lemon butter cake!

The 'sponge' is a lemon butter cake with English orange marmalade, topped with 'sudsy' lemon foam. The 'detergent' squeezed onto the cake is a pandan-lime syrup.Though much cleaner and more delicious than an actual dish sponge, the resemblance is uncanny.

The dessert has since gone viral all over social media, with netizens in awe at how much the cake looks like the real thing

In a TikTok made by @wankatravel, netizens were fairly convinced that the 'detergent' squirted over the cake was actual soap, judging by how they could barely tell the difference in colour and consistency.One user commented, "Imagine if a new staff serving took the wrong soap."

One user jokingly said that it was the cafe's way of asking customers to wash their own dishes.

Another said the only way to eat the cake is to convince yourself that it is, in fact, a cake.

People Are Livid Over A Migrant Worker Who Was Used As A Human Hand Sanitiser

A Saudi Arabian oil and gas giant has recently come under fire for dressing a worker as a human hand sanitiser

Twitter photos of the man went viral on Tuesday, 10 March, which showed the man wearing a surgical mask and appearing to walk around as a mobile hand sanitiser for staff in the building.

After the incident blew up on the Internet, many netizens were enraged by the act and called it "classist" and "racist"

Humiliation of @Saudi_Aramco worker reflects serious failure of Arab companies to respect human rightshttps://t.co/ahRCe2sN4z— ImpACT International (@ImpactPolicies) March 11, 2020

Slavery was never abolished here, just repackaged. https://t.co/W1gFWeWLVl— Naser (@NaserMestarihi) March 10, 2020

It was also called out for being another "disgusting example of coronavirus racism".

Another disgusting example of Coronavirus racism. This time from Saudi oil company @Aramco who forced a foreign worker to walk around as a large hand sanitiser dispenser. Exploitative & racist. Highlights again this huge problem in Saudi Arabia & the Gulf https://t.co/Lp9kYN3GuU pic.twitter.com/QC6l2zQq7V— Joseph Willits (@josephwillits) March 11, 2020

The oil giant, Saudi Aramco, has since expressed its "strong dissatisfaction with this abusive behaviour that was used to emphasise the importance of sanitisation" adding that it was done without approval from the company

It released a Twitter statement yesterday, 11 March, saying that they have taken "drastic measures" to ensure that this does not happen again.The statement did not mention who arranged for the man to be a dispenser or if there was any compensation or apology given to him.

وقد قامت الشركة على الفور بإيقاف هذا الفعل واتخاذ إجراءات صارمة تحول دون تكراره. وتؤكّد الشركة حزمها ضد المساس بقيمها المبنية على الاحترام والتمسك بأخلاقيات السلوك والتعامل.— أرامكو (@Saudi_Aramco) March 10, 2020

In response to the statement, one netizen tweeted a drawing of the man by @A_RahmanBoland along with a caption:"The most important thing is to not just stop the act, but to punish those who were behind this heinous, inhuman act and compensate the worker financially and apologise to him."

الأهم ليس إيقاف الفعل وحسب، يجب معاقبة من كان وراء تلك الفعلة الشنيعة اللا إنسانية وتعويض العامل ماديًا والاعتذار له، ولعل ذلك يُقلل لو البسيط من معاناته النفسية جراء الوضع الذي أجبر فيه!، (إن أكرمكم عند الله أتقاكم)#أرامكو_السعودية pic.twitter.com/wMKhLHmfZm— محمد القاضي (@moealqadi) March 10, 2020

This school experiment revealed that washing your hands is a lot more effective than using hand sanitisers:

CDC recommends using a hand sanitiser with at least 60% alcohol, only if soap and water are not available.

Khairy: COVID-19 Vaccine Won't Be Mandatory And Will Only Be Given To 18 Years And Above

The COVID-19 vaccine in Malaysia will not be mandatory, according to Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin

			It is voluntary. If you want to get vaccinated, you have to sign up.
        Khairy

He said that the sign-up process for those who want to get vaccinated can be performed via MySejahtera mobile application, which will be equipped with the feature for vaccination in the future.What this means is that the COVID-19 vaccine will not be mandatory for everyone and only those who consent or indicate their willingness to be vaccinated will be included in the vaccination programme.

Additionally, the vaccine won't be given to those who are under 18

According to Khairy, the government is looking to roll out the vaccine to Malaysians of aged 18 years old and above, including a portion of foreign workers, expatriates, and other non-Malaysian residents.He had previously said that the reason only adults will be receiving the COVID-19 vaccine in Malaysia is because most of the clinical tests were done only on adults."There have been no clinical trials on children for the vaccine," he was quoted as saying.Additionally, after getting the injections, there will be surveillance for a few years, also known as Phase Four of the vaccination programme to monitor the effects of the vaccines.

Image via Razak Ghazali/The Malaysian Reserve

With regards to how many foreign workers, expatriates, and non-Malaysian residents will be involved in the vaccination programme, Khairy said that this will be deliberated and decided by the Cabinet

"We will start with a risk assessment of who is at high risk and we will start with that group. It will be announced after the Cabinet approves the plan," the Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister said."The general plan is to start with frontline workers first, co-morbidity and senior citizens, etc. After that, we will have to have a system where once a general population is being vaccinated, who will go first and where you will get vaccinated."According to Khairy, the government will try to target as many as possible."The principle is simple: We need to vaccinate them (foreign workers) to ensure that we and they are safe," he said, adding that the more foreigners are vaccinated, the safer Malaysians will be."If we vaccinate our people, but not three million foreigners, we are at risk because we haven't hit the threshold of herd immunity," he was quoted as saying.

Here's what we know so far about the vaccination programe:

                Here's How The COVID-19 Vaccines Will Be Distributed In Malaysia

The first vaccines are expected to arrive in Malaysia by the end of February.

28-Year-Old Malaysian Surprises His Sick Mum With A Dream Holiday She Had Given Up On

Recently, a man from Kota Tinggi, Johor shared on Facebook how he surprised his ailing mother with her dream holiday to Pulau Tioman

"I surprised mum with tickets for a three-day, two-night getaway," Muhammad Hasif Sharuddin wrote in his post on 5 October."Better to make our mothers happy while we still can. Love you, mak."

Image via Momas Hasif/Facebook

He revealed that his mother, Mimah Mahmud, had always wanted a beachside holiday.
However, she had to give it up when she fell sick two years ago.

According to mStar, the 66-year-old mother suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney problems.Hasif, who is the youngest of her five children, had to empty his pockets to settle her medical bills.

The 28-year-old explained that life has been difficult because he was not able to keep a steady job for the last few years

However, things began to look up when he entered reality show 'Mikrofon Impian' in April this year. He succeeded in getting through to the second round of the singing competition in episode 10 and brought home a cash prize of RM10,000.

Image via Momas Hasif/Facebook

Moreover, he landed a full-time job two months ago and is grateful to finally have some savings to do something thoughtful for his mother."My mum gave birth to me and brought me up, why wouldn't I give back to my mother when all this time I couldn't due to money constraints?" he told mStar.

So Hasif made the arrangements for the holiday and surprised his mother one morning just as she was waking up

"She cried and laughed because she was so happy when she saw an envelope with tickets to Pulau Tioman," he said.

Image via Momas Hasif/Facebook

According to Malay Mail, the two enjoyed a variety of activities on the beautiful island, including riding bicycles, playing on swings, and enjoying local cuisine.

As an additional surprise to his mother, Hasif replaced a gold chain that Mimah had to pawn two years ago to pay rent and put food on the table for her family

His mum was touched after receiving the necklace that had a pendant engraved with a hibiscus on it, similar to the one she used to own."I've been meaning to replace it for a while now but I had no money, and it took time for me to find a pendant that had the same engraving," said Hasif."It wasn't just my mum that got teary about the necklace, even I cried."

Image via Momas Hasif/Facebook

Hasif, however, remains grounded.
According to him, no amount of thoughtful gestures could ever match up to the sacrifices his mother has made for him.

"What I did is not enough, but I am grateful because I've been waiting a long time for this moment and finally got to fulfill my mum's wish to go on a beach holiday," he said."She said it's the best when I bring her out to ride on a bicycle. I would do anything and everything for her."

Image via Momas Hasif/Facebook

His story touched several Facebook users, who praised him for being a filial son

A Facebook user was moved to tears when he read the post.

This user said that Hasif's mother was lucky to have a sweet son like him.

Mahathir's Giggly Reaction After A Sweet Moment With Siti Hasmah Is Too Pure

A story about a tender moment between Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah has gone viral on social media

Image via Facebook

Prem Kumar Panjamorthy, who is associated with Nikkei Asian Review, took to his Facebook to share a story about the couple along with two photos he recently took while interviewing the prime minister at Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan.His Facebook post, posted on 31 May, has garnered over 5,000 shares at the time of writing.

"I have never shared these pictures of Dr Mahathir but it will be a sin if I don't share it," Prem wrote

He explained that since it was Ramadan, the interview was conducted in two parts with a five-minute break in between.During the break, the premier's aide-de-camp rushed into the room to inform them that Siti Hasmah was about to enter."She wants to come in now?" Mahathir asked, appearing to be shocked.

The 92-year-old walked into the room and apologised for interrupting the session.
She went to whisper something into Mahathir's ear but he could not hear, causing her to giggle.

"I'm going to take some rest in the room. You have not taken any rest since this morning," she said in a louder voice while holding his hand."Please take some rest after this," she added.She then apologised again to the reporter for the interruption and left the room.

"Dr Mahathir just quietly, with full of love in his eyes, watched his wife walk out of the room while giggling like a young lover boy!" the reporter shared

Image via Facebook

Prem explained that everyone in the room was stunned to see the politician's reaction."I cannot believe this is a 63-year-old marriage and 71-year-old friendship since they were university mates!" he wrote in the post."This couple is an example to all married couples in the world," he added.

Netizens took to the comments section of the post to gush about the couple's long-lasting and loving relationship

While Siti Hasmah is unfazed by public displays of affection, she wouldn't say the same of her husband:

The 92-year-old said that she feels "uneasy" when her marriage is referred to as "couple goals."

How To Quarantine At Home If You Or A Family Member Are COVID-19 Positive

Note: This story has been be updated to reflect the Ministry of Health's official guidelines.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) will now allow people who tested positive for COVID-19 with mild or no symptoms to undergo quarantine and isolation at home

It may be a relief for some, as home can be more comfortable than being sent to the overburdened hospitals and quarantine centres.But home quarantine may also be a risk for others, because it can be hard to practise strict precautions around healthy loved ones living under the same roof for 10 days.To be ready for self-isolation, the MOH has prepared official guidelines to reduce the risks of transmission at home.

Image via Miera Zulyana/Malay Mail

If you have recently tested positive for COVID-19, here's how to quarantine and isolate at home:

1. Stay in a separate bedroom from other household members

It will be difficult, but it is necessary: you will have to isolate yourself in a single room as much as you can for at least 10 days, or until your symptoms recover.If possible, stay in a room with an attached bathroom and stay away from any shared spaces of the home, such as the living room and kitchen, to prevent transmission to your family members.Also, keep the windows in your bedroom and bathroom open to make sure the room is well-ventilated and to remove respiratory droplets in the air as much as possible.

Image via University of Missouri Health Care

2. Wash your hands and disinfect commonly-touched surfaces frequently

You and your quarantined family members will have to practise excellent personal hygiene, especially if sharing bathrooms.The person who is sick should be the one cleaning and disinfecting the bathroom and toilet surfaces with household detergent and disinfectant after each use.The recommended dilution of bleach for disinfecting surfaces is one part bleach to 50 parts water - that's equivalent to one teaspoon (5ml) of Clorox to one cup (250ml) of water.Meanwhile, the rest of the house should be cleaned by your family members diligently, especially high-touch surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches, countertops, and phones.It also goes without saying that everyone should wash their hands with soap and water often, or at least clean them with hand sanitiser, after any type of contact with you or your environment.

Image via Cleaning & Maintenance Management

3. Avoid sharing personal household items with others

It is best to allocate separate plates, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, bedding, and other items for you, the COVID-19 patient.Assign a caregiver in the house - one who is not immunocompromised and is always prepared to wear a face mask and gloves - to hand you food and wash your dishes because you have to stay in your room.The caregiver should properly dispose of the face masks and gloves in a closed container after use and practise good hand hygiene throughout the arrangement.

Image via CGTN

4. Wear a face mask if you have to leave the room

Generally, do not leave the room unless you really need to - you shouldn't be cooking food in the kitchen or be watching TV in the living room.But if you really have to leave the room, put on a mask, tell everyone else in the house to put on theirs, and maintain a 1m distance from your family members.Do not spend more than 15 minutes around your family members at a time.

5. No visitors should be allowed in the house

To repeat, you as a COVID-19 patient are in isolation and your family members are close contacts in quarantine, nobody should be leaving or entering the house for at least 10 days.The only visitors that can be allowed into the house are healthcare workers coming to check up on you; even then, they have to be in full personal protective equipment (PPE).

6. Monitor yourself every day and seek emergency medical attention if you develop worsening symptoms

If you experience symptoms such as a high fever or difficulty breathing, you can call 999 for emergency services, the COVID-19 Assessment Centre (CAC), or your closest public health clinic.

Malaysians May Have Gum Problems. Here Are Some Of The Symptoms

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

Have you wondered why some people have bad breath or noticed their gums looking a little odd?

Image via GIPHY

Sometimes, we tend to ignore minor details about our oral hygiene and brush them under the rug. Be it not visiting the dentist twice a year for regular checkups, forgetting to brush those pearly whites twice a day, or not flossing at all, these actions might have a more serious impact on one's teeth in the future than we might think.

Gum disease may cause swollen, bleeding gums, and bad breath

Gum problems mainly result from having dental plaque, which is a sticky build-up of bacteria that forms on the gum line or gum pocket when eating or drinking. Over time, the bacteria will turn into acid. This destroys the tooth enamel, which in turn causes gum problems. If left untreated for too long, it can cause severe side effects like losing teeth.

Gum problems may cause these symptoms:

1. Red, swollen, or receding gums

It's normal to feel some discomfort when munching on tough food like red meat or more solid food like apples, but if the discomfort and sore feeling is persistent, that's a sign that something is wrong. Normal gums should look pinkish and full without exposed tooth roots.

2. There are blood spots when one spits in the sink after brushing or flossing their teeth

This is one of the earliest signs of gum problems, where the gum is showing its weakness of not being able to support the teeth due to bacteria surrounding it. Instead of allowing it to fester and get worse, it's important to learn how to brush and floss teeth correctly by either using a toothpaste specially made to stop the bleeding, or a soft bristle toothbrush that is not harsh on the gums.

3. There's a pocket between one's teeth and gums

If there is a noticeable gap where food particles easily collect in between the corners of the teeth and gums, one should immediately make an appointment to see their dentist, as they might have gum problems.

4. Noticing bad breath once they start talking

If someone has received comments about their breath being funky or noticed it themselves, it's probably time they paid a visit to the dentist. Usually, when one has bleeding gums, the smell of the blood lingering in their mouth will cause their breath to smell bad.Sometimes, it's not easy to tell whether they do. This is because they could be used to smelling their own breath all the time, so they may not pick up on it when their breath becomes a little stinky.

Image via Greenspoint Dental

5. Loose or shifting teeth

In the critical stage of gum problems, some people may experience their teeth getting wobbly and weak. When they bite their teeth together, it will feel and look unusual. Meanwhile, those who wear dentures will be able to spot this symptom easily when their dentures suddenly do not fit as they used to.

Looking for an easy solution to stop gum problems early on and get fresh smelling breath?

Image via Parodontax (Provided to SAYS)

By using parodontax toothpaste, it is possible to stop and prevent one's gums from bleeding, while also freshening their breath. Specially formulated to physically remove build up of plaque bacteria along the gumline, parodontax toothpaste will help to keep the seal between gums and teeth tight. When used twice daily, it is clinically proven to help stop and prevent bleeding gums. It also contains 923ppm fluoride, as well as sodium bicarbonate, which enhances plaque removal.Containing 67% of sodium bicarbonate, parodontax toothpaste not only supports gum health, but also strengthens teeth and freshens breath. Suitable for everyday use, parodontax is a toothpaste that cares for one's gums.

Healthy teeth starts with healthy gums. :) So, take action today and try parodontax!
