Yuna’s fans have been trespassing the old petrol station in Forevermore MV for photos!

Yunaâ€™s Forevermore music video was downright stunning. Shot entirely in Malaysia, the music video was an ode to Malaysian upbringing and had all Malaysians watching it feel a sense of pride and nostalgia for our childhood days.
The opening scene to the music video sees Yuna sitting in a first generation blue Proton Saga parked at an old petrol station in Kangar, Perlis. The visual was so beautiful that many could not believe such a place existed in Malaysia.

The scene left such a strong impact on Malaysians that since the release of the music video, throngs of people have been visiting the old petrol station to take photos of themselves there.

Which is really all fine and dandy when itâ€™s open. However, problems arose when some members of the public climbed over the petrol stationâ€™s gate and trespassed onto the premises while it was closed to get their picture-perfect shot.

via GIPHY
It appears that the trespassing got pretty bad till the owner of the petrol station was forced to turn to Yuna for help. The owner, @ellinasurabukti tweeted an appeal to Yuna, asking if she could help let her fans know to not climb over their gate when trying to capture their Insta-worthy shots.

Soon after receiving the tweet, the Malaysian songbird quoted the tweet to her followers reminding them to be respectful of business owners and their property.

Hey everyone visiting Forevermore locations in Perlis-including this petrol station, please respect the business owners and dont climb over their gate🙏🏽 be nice pls, dont trespass..lets all be respectful. Peace & love!! https://t.co/kLCQpMrvGd
â€” Yuna Zarai (@yunamusic) June 8, 2019

It isnâ€™t known yet if Yunaâ€™s tweet has been much help to @ellinasurabukti, though she has since deleted her initial appeal and thanked Yuna for her help.
While we totally get the appeal of getting your own pics taken at the locations featured in the Forevermore music video (that music video is REALLY beautiful), maybe committing a crime like trespassing or breaking and entering is taking it too far?

Small Habits That Can Help Prevent Cholera & Other Waterborne Diseases

This year, it has been brought to the nations’ attention that a cholera case has been detected in the Petaling district.
Read More: Cholera In Selangor, Careful When Drinking Water, KKM Says

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cholera is an acute diarrhoeal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium, Vibrio cholerae, which can lead to death through severe dehydration.
Most cholera cases are asymptomatic and among those who develop symptoms, the majority encountered mild or moderate symptoms while a minority experienced acute watery diarrhoea with severe dehydration.
Cholera is one of the oldest epidemic diseases and is closely related to inadequate access to clean water and sanitisation systems.
Although it is unlikely to spread from one person to another, it could spread rapidly in areas without adequate treatment of sewage and clean water through ingestion of food or water contaminated directly or indirectly by faeces or vomitus of infected persons.
In years of efforts by the public and private sectors to improve sewage and water treatment in the country, Malaysians living in most areas of the country are able to enjoy clean and safe water in their daily routines and keep waterborne diseases at bay.

However, the detection of cholera cases in Malaysia’s urban areas has once again alerted the community on the importance of maintaining a hygienic lifestyle and the usage of healthy water in day-to-day life.
Waterco Malaysia Regional Business Development Manager Koo Zao Cheong shared that water, sanitisation and hygiene are key strategies in preventing and controlling the spread of waterborne diseases.
Water is the source of life. All living things including humans depend on water to strive. As water is widely used in every aspect of our lives whether for consumption, food production, recreational purposes or domestic use, the improved access to clean and safe water as well as better management of water resources are crucial in ensuring the well-being of those who use itWaterco Malaysia Regional Business Development Manager Koo Zao Cheong
Even though the government and private sectors are constantly working to improve the access to clean water for the nation, there are some simple prevention ways that you can incorporate into your daily life to give yourself and your loved ones additional protection against waterborne diseases.
Contamination found in water is the source of transmission of waterborne diseases such as cholera. However, it is preventable if water resources are managed properly (regardless if it is for commercial or personal use) and on top of that, it is important for Malaysians to also make the effort to practice a hygienic lifestyle.Waterco Malaysia Regional Business Development Manager Koo Zao Cheong
So how can we protect ourselves from all the nasty waterborne bugs out there?
1. Ensure good quality household water
Household water or domestic water is water that we use to carry out all the things that we do at home, such as drinking, cooking, bathing, brushing teeth, cleaning and more.
Many of us might have experienced short periods of water shortage that occur once or twice a year and we all know that without clean water, our lives may be difficult as we are unable to carry out our usual routines.
One thing that we can do to ensure a constant flow of clean water in our homes is to have safe water storage (in covered containers) to cope with situations where we do not have access to clean water.

Additionally, you may consider installing high-quality household water filtration systems such as those from Waterco (a leading one-stop solutions provider for safe and healthy water environment companies) to eliminate harmful substances in water that might affect our health.
Although generally household water gets to our homes by the country water department and is properly treated, there is no harm for us to take extra precautions to filter the water before we utilise it.
2. Consume clean water and ensure cleanliness in food preparation
Although we have access to clean tap water for our daily usage, it is still advisable to boil the water before consumption as a precautionary action.
Boiling is an effective way to make water safer for consumption as it will help to kill unwanted bacteria that is harmful to our health. It is suggested to bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before drinking and using it for food preparation.
(Credit: SLPR/Waterco Malaysia)
Alternatively, you may use filtered water and bottled water for daily consumption. Other than using clean water for food preparation, we must also pay attention to cleanliness during food preparation as unhygienic food can cause not only waterborne diseases but also diarrhoea, food poisoning and so on.
Make sure to clean the kitchen areas with soap and safe water before cooking.
3. Cook food thoroughly
For those who enjoy cooking, make sure to cook ingredients thoroughly, especially when there are seafood, fish and meat involved.
Raw meat contains harmful bacteria and if the meat is not properly stored and cooked, it may cause food poisoning and other diseases.
(Credit: SLPR/Waterco Malaysia)
Alternatively, if you are really craving food such as sashimi and rare to medium-rare steak, you may consider visiting restaurants that have high standards of hygienic measures throughout the process of food storage, preparation and cooking to enjoy a safe and delicious meal (without having to endure the after-effects later!).
4. Wash your hands often
Frequently maintaining hand hygiene has become a new norm since the Covid-19 outbreak.
It is one of the simple yet effective ways to prevent diseases and it should be practised in our everyday lives.
(Credit: SLPR/Waterco Malaysia)
When our hands are clean at all times, we can reduce our worries during food preparation and use our hands to put things into our mouths.
Wash your hands in the right way by using clean water and soap and also lather the back of your hands, nails and between fingers to clean thoroughly.
5. Visit swimming pools with proper sanitisation
While swimming is a healthy activity and a great way of relaxing, it is important to ensure that the water is clean before you go for a dip. This is because waterborne diseases could spread through the ingestion of contaminated water.
Ingestion of water containing harmful bacteria might also cause swimmers to suffer from diarrhoea, sensitive skin and so on.
Hence, the installation of proper water filtration systems such as those from Waterco and regular cleaning is needed to maintain high standards of hygiene requirements.
(Credit: SLPR/Waterco Malaysia)
While swimming pool managements are responsible to ensure the swimming pools are properly sanitised, swimmers can also take extra precautions by observing the frequency of scheduled cleaning and visit the swimming pools that we are confident with.
Personal hygiene and cleanliness of food and water have become things that cannot be neglected since the start of the pandemic and the detection of cholera cases.
The pandemic and cholera case has reminded us that hygiene is of the utmost importance and we need to incorporate good habits in our daily lives to protect ourselves and our loved ones from health threats. Start practising these small habits now for a healthy living!

Duit Raya Tradition Is Evolving, For Better And For Worse

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest stories and updates.

Duit Raya is a tradition where adults give money to children as a gift during Aidilfitri, which marks the end of Ramadan.

The amount of duit raya given can vary depending on a few factors, such as the child’s age and the giver’s financial ability.
Are RM1 and RM2 enough? Or is it that nowadays, RM5 or RM10 is more acceptable for ‘duit Raya’?
If you give too little, what will the relatives say?
Recently, a netizen shared how he took back the duit Raya given out after hearing a kid complain it was too little.
Benda duit raya ni kan, aku pernah bagi RM2 kat random kids yg dtg beraya. Dia bukak sampul dpn rumah; “Ek eleh weh RM2 je!” Aku dengar tu aku keluar, rampas balik duit tu. Pastu suruh berambus. Kawan² dia lain terkejut terus simpan dlm poket. Dia terkulat-kulat tolak basikal. https://t.co/I3oGWsVPya— H® (@zziiiqqq) April 11, 2023
His sharing caught the attention of netizens.
Many feel the spirit of duit Raya is indeed lost among the younger generation.
Rate aku senang ja.Anak saudara – RM50 eachanak sepupu sepapat – RM5/10 eachWhoareyusss unknown creature -RM2 eachnak duit raya banyak2 pi mintak dekat mak pak hampa 😂 duk buat muka tak puas hati depan aku memang aku ambik balik sampul tu. https://t.co/lz6GZm98uB— Alan Dah Nak Raya (@IniAlalalannn) April 11, 2023
normalize bagi budak duit raya RM2 je, budak budak ni nak buat apa duit banyak banyak? bukan ada hutang ke apa nak kena bayar, RM2 dah lah— F🌬 (@hazelnutnyumm) April 20, 2023
The International Women’s Alliance for Family Institution and Quality Education (WAFIQ) said the culture of giving duit raya to children could be beneficial if it’s managed by parents properly.
WAFIQ president Dr Rafidah Hanim Mokhtar said the philosophy behind the practice needs to be properly explained to the children.
Duit raya is one thing that children look forward to; in fact, there are many occasions where children would prefer duit raya more than kuih raya/rendang as they have had enough food after visiting multiple houses.WAFIQ president Associate Professor Dr Rafidah Hanim Mokhtar to TRP on duit raya symbolising the close connection between adults and children which goes beyond family ties.
The Malaysian Consultative Council for Islamic Organisations (Mapim) said educating children about Raya money is not the main thing; what is important is the Ramadan and Raya journey.
Its president, Mohd Azmi Abdul Hamid, said young people are advised not to have a target culture of collecting raya money and comparing the giving of raya money.
Society should not continue to make duit raya a necessity. Focus on love and friendship in the celebration of Eid. Mapim president Mohd Azmi Abdul Hamid to TRP on the spirit of duit raya which reflects the values of charity and compassion that are central to Islam.

Meanwhile, netizens have spoken out against people who openly ask for duit raya from random strangers on social media.
They decry the practice of posting one’s e-wallet QR code which seems to have gained much popularity this time.
Some said asking for duit Raya is against Islam, and one should only accept duit Raya when being offered by others willingly.

https://twitter.com/OfficialFadd/status/1649306651693039616

https://twitter.com/aimanbasyir_/status/1649311442498375680

A Gesture Of Goodwill, Love And Care Towards Children
Ultimately, the amount you give for duit raya should reflect your generosity and good wishes for the recipient rather than a strict rule or expectation.
It is given as a token of appreciation and a way of promoting unity and harmony among family members, friends, and the wider community.
Duit Raya is also an opportunity for people to give back to the less fortunate and to contribute to the well-being of others, especially during the festive season.
You should give what you can comfortably afford and what you feel is appropriate based on the circumstances.
In today’s post-pandemic economic situation, people will understand if you give less.

A Woman Was Arrested After Crashing Into Ex-Boyfriend’s Family Home, But Her Ethnicity Has Become An Issue?

Subscribe to our new Telegram channel for the latest updates and stories.

In Johor Bahru, a local woman was arrested after being suspected of threatening and crashing into the automatic gate of her ex-boyfriend’s family residence.

The incident happened in Taman Perling on 14 August at about 5.00 am.
Johor Bahru Utara District Deputy Chief of Police Supt Fariz Ammar Abdullah said the 20-year-old woman was arrested at the Plaza Toll Lima Kedai, Gelang Patah here (15 August).
Burning Rage
She was detained following a complaint made by her ex-boyfriend’s sister about the incident about an hour and a half before.
He said in a statement that a member of the complainant’s family had also received threats from the woman.

She had threatened to burn the business premises and damage her family’s property.
Acting on that information, a police team went to the complainant’s family home and found that a Toyota Corolla Altis car driven by the woman had crashed into the automatic gate of the residence until it was pulled off before trying to escape.Johor Bahru Utara District Deputy Chief of Police Supt Fariz Ammar Abdullah elaborating on what happened.
However, the police followed and managed to arrest the woman.
The investigation found that she was the former lover of the complainant’s younger brother before their relationship broke up last month.
Positive For Drugs
According to Fariz Ammar, the woman had no previous record, but the initial urine screening showed her positive for the banned drug benzo.
She was also found to have sent a video recording showing an individual pouring liquid suspected to be gasoline in front of the family’s home before the complainant filed a police report.
The woman’s actions were also recorded through closed circuit recording, which showed that she rammed the automatic gate until she hit the car belonging to the complainant’s father and caused damage and losses estimated at RM15,000.
The case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code (KK), which carries a maximum prison sentence of seven years, a fine, or both.
At the same time, police are investigating under Section 427 of the Criminal Code, which provides for a prison sentence of not less than one year and a maximum of five years, a fine, or both if convicted.
The case is also being investigated under Section 15 (1) (a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which can be fined not more than RM5,000 or a maximum of two years in prison if convicted.
The woman has been remanded for four days starting yesterday (15 August).
Racial Overtone
The incident caught the attention of netizens who were curious about the woman’s brazenness.
The woman’s ethnicity also became a topic, with some saying it’s unusual as predominantly Malay women get into drug trouble.
Some claimed that the woman’s photo, presumably in handcuff, would have been shown by the media if she was Malay.
They added that the suspect’s details, such as name and address, were not published only because she is Chinese.

Koalas are ‘functionally extinct’

According to the Australian Koala Foundation, there are less than 80,000 koalas left and the species are considered functionally extinct.
This means that the koala population has declined so far that it no longer makes an significant impact on its ecosystem.

via GIPHY
Once koala populations reach a critical point, the species will no longer be able to produce the next generation to ensure their continued survival.
Do you realize what that means? In the near future, we may need to live in a world without koalas.

No more of these cute fuzzy tree huggers???(Picture credit: imgflip)

While koalas do have natural predators, the main threat against the koala population is, tragically, human development.
The biggest threat to their survival is loss of habitat. Bulldozing eucalyptus forests to make way for human expansion means we are removing their homes and source of food.

via GIPHY
Secondly, once humans have expanded into koala territory, the poor critters often fall victim to cars while crossing highways. Humans also bring along their pet dogs that love hunting koalas.
Thirdly, bushfires are also a big threat because entire colonies can be wiped out in just one fire. Now with climate change, Australian bushfires are becoming more frequent and intense.

via GIPHY
Australian koalas aren’t the only ones threatened by human development. Closer to home, Malaysia has a growing list of endangered animals, including the adorable black shrew.

Malaysia Bans Thai Cows & Buffaloes From Entering Because Of An Infectious Disease

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest stories and updates.

Malaysia is banning the import of cattle and buffaloes from Thailand due to an outbreak of infectious disease there.

According to the Veterinary Services Department (JPV), farm animals across over 41 provinces in Thailand have been infected with something known as the Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD).
Cannot infect humans
LSD is a zoonotic disease (meaning that it cannot infect humans) caused by a type of Capripoxvirus. The disease is known only to infect cows and buffaloes.
According to the United Nations (UN) Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the disease was first identified in Africa sometime in 1929 and had since spread to other parts of the world.
Not only does the disease cause chronic debility and death in infected farm animals, LSD also has an economic impact on the world as it disrupts the trade of livestock and livestock products, globally.

Interestingly enough, veterinary experts say the best way to control LSD from spreading is through vaccination, and control of animal movements, with the most extreme measure being the culling of infected animals.
As a precautionary measure, JPV has enforced an immediate but temporary halt on all cows and buffaloes entering Malaysia from across the Golok River.
The department asks the cooperation of all industry players to help with enforcement as well as to cancel their order of these bovine farm animals from Thailand.
People are also asked to keep a close eye on the animals here in Malaysia for signs of LSD outbreaks.

Players Beware! It’s Illegal For Men To Seduce A Married Woman

Subscribe to our new Telegram channel for the latest updates on Covid-19 and other issues.

Enticing a married woman to have an illicit relationship is against the law, as one male actor learned when he was detained by the police after he went to the Ampang District Police Headquarters to record his statement.
The police said he is being investigated under Section 498 of the Penal Code which states that it’s an offence to commit infidelity with a married woman.
Under the law, those found guilty face 2 years imprisonment with a fine or both but interestingly, the law only applies to men but not for women.

This is not the first time someone has been charged under this section as a man was charged in 2017 for the same offense.
There’s also the Daphne Iking case around 10 years ago where her then-husband Ryan Chong Yiing Yih initiated a private summons on Darren Choy Khin Ming but the accused was discharged and acquitted after he made a public apology.
Back to the earlier mentioned case, it will also be investigated under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955 which states that those who try to provoke a breach of peace will be liable to a fine not exceeding RM100.
According to reports from Bernama, the report was lodged by the husband of the woman whom the actor has the alleged affair with.

The seven months pregnant woman who was shot dead in Kampung Repek in Pasir Mas, Kelantan, has been identified as Farrah Emirah Mazlan, aged 26.

According to Astro Awani, she was a single mother of three children aged between 3 and 10.

The victim’s grandmother, Zawiyah Sulong, 68, said all three children were under Farrah’s care after she divorced her husband last February.
She said Farrah was happy when she announced that she was having a baby boy after a visit to the doctor.
Until now I’m still shocked with what happened because I cared for Farrah Emirah since she was a baby. It’s much more painful when I think about her young children and they don’t know their mother has died.Victim’s grandmother Zawiyah Sulong

The last time she met Farrah was on Friday night (3 June) before she left the home for a massage.
She started worrying when Farrah didn’t return home after 10.30pm that night. She called Farrah several times but failed to reach her.
Zawiyah also brought the three children with her to look for their mother in several locations in Pasir Mas and Rantau Panjang on Saturday but the search wasn’t fruitful.
Some villagers reached out to her around 4.30pm the same day and told her they found Farrah unconscious in a car in Kampung Teresek in Repek.
Zawiyah rushed to the location and was heartbroken to find Farrah gone and covered in blood in the stomach area.
She hopes that the authorities will find the person who did this to Farrah. Zawiyah added that Farrah will be buried beside her mother in Chenerai, Chetok.

Global Chip Shortages Are Why It’s Hard To Get A PlayStation 5 And Other New Electronics Right Now

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest stories and updates.

The shortage in microchips has affected multiple industries from electronics all the way to car manufacturing.

Based on reports by CNBC, many automotive companies have cut their production due to this but it’s not just the automotive industry that’s struggling to get enough semiconductors.
Some of the top silicon manufacturers such as AMD and Qualcomm, which sell chips to most of the top electronics firms, have also noted the shortage in recent weeks.
This is also the reason why you can’t get a brand new PlayStation 5 as Sony blamed the chip shortage for the lack in supply.
It’s reported that this is due to strong demand for electronics and effects from the U.S. trade war with China that started under former President Donald Trump.
The pandemic changed the game
One of the driving factors for consumer demand has been the Covid-19 pandemic.
Based on reports, consumers were flocking to purchase PCs, monitors and other gear for working or going to school remotely before shifting to home entertainment gadgets like game consoles, TVs, smartphones and tablets.
Everyone is affected
The shortage problem has affected many companies including Apple who reportedly told analysts it didn’t have enough supply of its new iPhones to meet demand.
Meanwhile, AMD CEO Lisa Su also said last month that they expect shortages through the first half of the year.
AMD is the company which makes the processor for Sony’s and Microsoft’s new consoles, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X.

SEA Games: Netizens Cry Foul, Allege Bias In Athlete Selection

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest stories and updates.

Netizens are hoping that young runner, Fatin Ilyana Mat Nayan, will be included in the 100-meter quartet to the Vietnam SEA Games, in Hanoi this May.

The Langkawi, Kedah-born runner recorded a time of 11.97 seconds when she grabbed the bronze in the 100m final at the KL All-Comers tournament last week

Netizens felt that Fatin is eligible to make her debut in the biennial games in Vietnam based on her current performance.
They took to social media to voice their grievances, including a post by Twitter user M.K. Izzuddin.
Claiming that Fatin was not selected, he appealed to Youth and Sports Minister Ahmad Faizal Azumu to intervene.
Keluhan rakan-rakan olahraga. Dari dulu tak penah habis isu-isu macam ni. Kesian atlet-atlet yang betul-betul layak, tapi dipinggirkan. Harap-harap YB @PejaOfPerak ambil serius berkaitan isu ni. pic.twitter.com/ynkgSp0M5j— M.K Izzuddin (@k_izzuddin) March 29, 2022
His sentiment was echoed by netizens who hotly debated and criticized the issue.
They said the selection should be fair, transparent and without partiality.
Many just cannot accept that injustice is part of the sporting experience.

At the same time, netizens pointed out that some athletes are selected despite failing to meet the qualifying criteria.
Muhammad Haiqal Hanafi is on the list of the national athletics team although he will only compete in the 4×100 meter event.
Despite winning the men’s 100 meter event in the Malaysian Open Athletics Championships recently, it is still not enough for Muhammad Haiqal to qualify on merit.
At the competition at the MSN Mini Stadium in Bukit Jalil, Haiqal, 23, who represented the Negeri Sembilan team won gold after recording the fastest time of 10.58 seconds.
However, the record is still far behind with the minimum qualifying limit to Hanoi of 10.52s – the record of the bronze winner of the last edition of the SEA Games in Manila in 2019.
Meanwhile, the Malaysian Olympic Council (MOC) has also spoken out on the issue of selection.
OCM reminded all national sports associations not to be partial in selecting athletes for the national contingent.

Man Scolds Aunty For Letting Dogs Play On Public Playground’s Slide

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest stories and updates.

Recently, a video of a man confronting a woman who was seen with a few dogs at a public playground in Melaka went viral on TikTok.

The video posted by the man (@ramlihassan615) garnered 928.6 K views and 23 K likes at the time of writing.
In the video, while holding a stick, the man, believed to be a resident in the area was seen approaching the aunty who was with a few dogs at the playground. The dogs were seen sliding down the slides ecstatically.
He asked the woman what was her motive for bringing dogs to the playground as dogs aren’t allowed in public spaces.
The woman then remarked if this was his place only or a place for the public.
  @ramlihassan615  ♬ original sound  – ramlihassan615
He then told her that this area is a place for communities with mixed races and religions and she should be sensitive about those who don’t like the presence of dogs in the area.
She then explained that some of the dogs weren’t hers, to begin with. In the video, only one dog was seen in a collar and the other two looked like stray ones.
He complained that by bringing her dog to the playground, it would attract strays as well. He claimed that pets were not allowed at playgrounds in Melaka.
  @ramlihassan615 Replying to @norliahwahab4 ♬ original sound  – ramlihassan615
She replied that she wasn’t aware of the rule and said it wasn’t like she brought the dogs to the man’s house.
He explained that he has already warned her before as she did this a couple of times already. At the time, she always said that she couldn’t understand the man and that’s why this time, he recorded the conversation.
  @ramlihassan615  ♬ original sound  – ramlihassan615
He then said that he doesn’t mind the dogs being on their own or doesn’t mind if she wants to use the slide but letting her dogs use it is unacceptable. He warned her again for the last time.
Netizens have mixed opinions
The video stirred quite a discussion among netizens in the comment section.
Some agreed that the warning was warranted as the playground was meant for children. Muslims are worried that the dogs might salivate on the slides.

Generally, for purification purposes, Muslims have to do a cleansing practice called “sertu” after dogs or pigs come into contact with their person, things or place. Especially, if they’re wet, like saliva, urine or faeces as these things could bring various diseases.

Besides that, the fact that dogs can be aggressive and pose risks of rabies are a few reasons why some people are not comfortable with having them in public spaces.
However, there were also those who disagreed with the man’s actions, saying he should not have made a big deal out of the matter as the dogs didn’t look aggressive and just wanted to have some fun.

Some didn’t even care for the argument as they were focusing on how happy the cute dogs were playing with the slide. Some even joked that this wouldn’t be a problem if other animals played there.

Would you look at that doggo’s pure joy?(Credit: @ramlihassan615 / TikTok)

Is there a rule against dogs in public places?
For your information, in Malaysia, dog owners can walk their dogs in public given that the place is pet-friendly (like places like Desa Park City in KL) and they must be on a leash. If it’s not, then dogs, or any pets for that matter should not be allowed in that setting.
According to MBSJ, there is a rule that dog owners cannot walk their dogs in public spaces such as these:
Public places of interestSupermarketWorshipping placeOfficesSchool/ShopsPublic Transportations
Dogs who are wandering without a leash or a license could be caught by the authorities if they are doing an operation.
The owner could be fined not more than RM 2,000.00 or imprisoned for not more than one year or both (MBSJ Dog Licensing Act 1998). But that is just Subang Jaya’s rules on dogs. Other places differ.
So what do you think about this situation?

Her act of kindness, and what also some people deemed as brave, just goes to show no matter what you believe, we can still live together in peace and harmony if our heart is in the right place.
In the continuing spirit for the love of strays, another TikTok user has recently been capturing the hearts of many netizens.
Namika @naika_mika or Zuria Farhana Mohamad started her TikTok page only three months ago which features videos of her feeding various cats and dogs.
  @naika_mika dari jauh hujung jalan dia kejar🥺 lajak laju nasib baik sempat sedar yang kakak ni muslim. kalau tak mesti datang peluk dah ni kan☺#fyp#straydog ♬ original sound  – namika
She has already amassed over 60,000 followers with the bulk of her videos showing her feed various stray cats and dogs, accompanied by cute video captions.
The beauty of her videos are not just the kind gesture of feeding the animals, but she also gives some of the strays names – and that takes a special kind of person to do that!

From feeding only cats to now dogs too
Farhana, who works as a part-time e-hailing driver, is a Master Degree student majoring in Mathematics Education at University Perguruan Sultan Idris (UPSI) in Tanjung Malim, Perak.
Her passion to feed the strays began when she first came to UPSI in 2018. It started with cats, but she eventually started feeding stray dogs too as she slowly got friendly with them and overcame her fear.
If people want to start feeding dogs, don’t be scared. At first, I used to put the food down and watch them eating from a distance. The dogs have gotten to know me over time. Although Muslims are not allowed to handle dogs, it is okay to feed them.Zuria Farhana Mohamad via Malay Mail / mStar
She happens to be quite popular with some of the strays in Tanjung Malim because the moment the dogs see her car, they will rush towards her.
  @naika_mika hari2 nak balik rumah paktam akan tggu di bahu jalan. dari jauh dia dah cam kereta🥰 my sweetie tam🖤 #black #tam #dog #sweet #fypシ ♬ original sound  – namika
Raising public awareness
She tells mStar that she wants to raise public awareness so that people would not be frightened to approach stray animals and help them.
People are usually afraid of dogs and only feed stray cats. I am happy when viewers tell me that they have begun to feed street dogsZuria Farhana Mohamad via Malay Mail / mStar
In some of the videos, you can see her feeding the dogs canned food that can cost anywhere between RM6-8, which cost more than a simple meal for humans!
However, for Farhana, she’s not concerned about the money and seeing them eat is what makes her happy.

Condo Cat Horror: Sarawakian Charged With Neglect After Cats Starved To Death

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest stories and updates.

A man named Lim Chia Lin, 31, from Sarawak, has been charged and sentenced at the Sessions Court yesterday morning (28 March) for causing the deaths of his pet cats by neglecting them.

Previously, carcasses of dead animals, believed to be cats, were found in a unit at Bayu Tasik Condominium in Bandar Baru Sri Permaisuri, Cheras.
Lim pleaded guilty to one count of neglecting his five cats between 14 June and 3 July 2022 by not providing food and water to them. He allegedly went back to Sarawak for a month in June 2022 and his cats starved to death.
He was charged under Section 29(1)(D) of the Animal Welfare Act 2015 and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment and an RM50,000 fine, in default another year in jail.
Under the same act, he was liable to three years’ imprisonment or a fine between RM20,000 and RM100,000 or both.
Lim, who works as a promoter with an RM1,500 monthly salary, appealed by saying that the stench came from a barrel containing marinated chicken.
However, the judge said since Lim had pleaded guilty, he could only appeal against the sentence.
New Straits Times reported that Lim, who was unrepresented, then pleaded for a lighter sentence.
Deputy public prosecutor Wan Ahmad Hakimi Wan Ahmad Jaafar suggested the court order a custodial sentence as a warning to society not to neglect their pets.
Therefore, I plead for the court to consider sentencing in the form of imprisonment so that he can repent and also as a lesson to the public to not to neglect their responsibilities as human beings in protecting animals.Deputy public prosecutor Wan Ahmad Hakimi Wan Ahmad Jaafar
What happened?
On 11 March 2023, the landlord went to the unit around 4pm after receiving complaints from nearby residents of a foul stench from the house.
He discovered the carcasses in a cage near the front door and asked Lim to get rid of it.
Two days later, the landlord returned to the unit with a security guard and the building manager to ask Lim to pay the one-month outstanding rent totalling RM1,400.
The cage with the carcasses was still there in the same place. The trio entered the unlocked home after their door knocks went unanswered and found Lim sleeping in his room.
It was said the rental unit was in deplorable condition with animal blood and decomposing animal carcasses in one of the rooms.
The landlord lodged a police report at the Salak South Police Station on the same day (13 March).

Former Secondary Student Gets RM200 A Week For Pocket Money At School, Says It Wasn’t Enough

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest stories and updates.

A former student is unhappy that he used to get RM200 a week as pocket money during his days in secondary school.

So he took to social media to complain, saying his allowance would not be enough to live on and left him depressed.
He posted his ‘grievances’ on Tiktok under the username @azrulikram28.
200 Seminggu??? OMG, banyaknyaaa…. ke memang makanan kantin dah mahal sangat sampai 200 seminggu? Aku makan dekat OU hari2 pun tak sampai 100 seminggu. 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/4PNBB434GQ— ucopayoub (@ucopayoub) June 16, 2022
Allowance Is Far Higher Than What Most People Get In School
The complaint quickly became a discussion topic on social media, attracting more than 625,000 views and thousands of comments – many of them urging him to be grateful.

According to netizens, today’s teenagers are ‘spoiled’ and often extravagant, in addition to not knowing how to save.
They should learn helpful life lessons by spending their student life on a tight budget.

Netizens added that there are no fixed norms on allowances.
It all depended on factors such as parental income, school location, the lifestyle of the student and how much parents were prepared to give their child.
Some said that canteen food had indeed gotten more expensive.

“Did You Go To University?”, Interviewer Shares Shocking Conversation With Rude Job Seeker

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest stories and updates.

As the economy fully reopens after two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, many Malaysians are eager to look for greener pastures and find jobs.

Recently, a recruiter shared his encounter with a rude job seeker who, far from trying his/her best to impress the interviewer, was indifferent and callous.
Recruiter surprised with jobseeker’s behaviour
Netizen Zaim Al-Amin recently shared his recent experience with a job seeker, a fresh graduate looking for a senior content creator role.
Zaim took to Twitter to post a screenshot of the interactions between him and a job seeker.
The jobseeker thought that he/she might make a good candidate for the position due to high marks in the FYP (final year project) that they received during their studies.
Confused, Zaim asked in reply what “FYP” meant which agitated the job seeker.
Zaim was also surprised and taken aback when a job seeker asked, “Did you go to university?”
The job seeker also demanded to know the salary and whether the working hours can be flexible.
Zaim, who is also the co-founder of the company, decided to cut the interview short.
He also advised the jobseeker to work on his/her character.

Opinions Divided
The challenge is not possessing the right experience, but the right attitude.
Netizens criticised the jobseeker for their rude and discourteous behaviour.
They said there is absolutely no need to be rude and disrespectful not just to recruiters but in all aspects of life.
Netizens said job seekers should uphold professionalism and treat everyone with an appropriate attitude.

Netizens also commented that the jobseeker should not have contacted the recruiter directly without permission.

On the other hand, some said that times have changed and so do the motivation and behaviours of those looking for work.
They said it’s no longer about whether recruiters consider something rude or not – it’s about what the young Turks consider rude.

What seemed to be a place for Covid-19 patients to recuperate turned into a queasy nightmare for one patient.

Recently, a TikTok user, @dayanaradzuan shared her sister’s unexpected experience in a government hospital.
Being positive with Covid-19, her sister’s child was admitted to a local government hospital.
While accompanying her child there, she noticed a rodent was scavenging around under the hospital bed in their room.

As if the rat sighting alone wasn’t enough problem, the creator claimed that her sister was ignored after reporting the incident to the nurses.
She then decided to post a video of the pesky rodent on TikTok and her video unexpectedly went viral with around 438k views and 23k likes.
Netizens had a lot to say about the video. Some were joking about the rat and there were others who were bashing her for expecting the nurse to do something about it.
A user commented that the rat looked like it was comfortable being there and have grown accustomed to the presence of humans. Way to treat your house guests.

A few also joked how the hospital is like a two in one place to treat both humans and rats. The rat in the video looked so healthy because it was getting good treatment over there.

One commenter, a nurse, advised that any complaints should be made directly to the management, and not to the nurses. This is because they cannot do anything about the issue as their own reports are often also ignored by higher-ups.
The creator acknowledged the comment and replied that a complaint has been lodged and the purpose of posting this video is to get their attention and quicken the process of pest control by the management.

It’s Not The Nurses’ Fault
On the other hand, a few people disagreed with how the creator seemingly painted the blame on the nurses.
One user replied that the nurses there studied so hard to treat patients, not entertain their demands by catching rats.  Nowadays, with cases spiking up, all government or non-government hospitals are having a hard time handling the cases. The least we can do is to be understanding.

Whether it’s private or government hospitals, none of them should ever have rats wandering around under their hospital’s beds or scavenging the food cupboard for scraps.
In a place used to treat diseases and illnesses, you wouldn’t want to have pests running around carrying other contagions that might put you at risk.
