Mum Loses Phone In Putrajaya. Saved By Helpful Cinema Staff & Security App

A mother of four wouldâ€™ve lost her phone if it wasnâ€™t for a helpful staff member at the cinema and the â€œFind My iPhoneâ€ feature that allows Apple owners to locate their devices.
Realising her phone went missing at a local cinema in Alamanda after she went to the restroom, the woman went on a race against time with one of the staff members of the cinema she had bumped into while looking for her device.

It turns out the culprit was the woman who queued behind her in the restroom earlier.
She described the incident in a Facebook post explaining how she had used the â€œFind My iPhoneâ€ features to track down her lost phone.
Using the GPS tracking feature, she discovered that her lost phone was at a McDonaldâ€™s restaurant in the same mall.
The mother even recalled the culprit becoming nervous when the stolen phone started to ring inside their bag.
The phone ringing is just one of the many features â€œFind My iPhoneâ€ has. This feature, in particular, allows you to trigger your device to ring from any of your registered Apple devices. In this case, the mother was using the GSC staffâ€™s iPhone.
So, what is â€œFind my iPhoneâ€
Itâ€™s a feature Apple users can use to track their stolen or misplaced devices. Itâ€™s not exclusive to iPhones as itâ€™s also available for iPads, Apple Watches, AirPods even Macbooks.
It allows Apple owners to track their devices, remotely ring their phones, lock the phone, and also erase all of your personal information from the device.

Thereâ€™s also a feature in the app called Family Sharing where you can check the location of up to five important people in your life. However, they can choose to be tracked or not. So you canâ€™t do it to your spouse or kid without their permission.

You can activate it by accessing Settings on your iPhone and tap on your name which is located at the top and then access the â€œFind Myâ€ tab.

The feature still works even if your device is offline or itâ€™s battery has run out as the feature automatically saves the last location of your device.
In the event where you donâ€™t happen to have another Apple device nearby when your phone is stolen, you can still use a web browser to locate your device.

What about Android?
Fret not, Android users, Google also has the â€œFind My Deviceâ€ feature where you can also track your phone/tablet and do many of the other features that Appleâ€™s â€œFind My iPhoneâ€ has.
It also lets you remotely track, lock, and erase the data on a lost or stolen phone.
All you have to do is register your Gmail account on your device and you are good to go.
Also, like â€œFind My iPhoneâ€, you can access the feature on your web browser if you donâ€™t have an Android device nearby as well.

Those are the ways that owners can find your device if it has been stolen and regardless if youâ€™re an Android or iOS user, technology nowadays makes it possible to find your lost or stolen phones.
It might be important to note that in order for these security features to work, you need to allow the feature to track your device by turning on GPS settings.

Anti-Hopping Law Will Not Be Enough To Address The Low Voter Turnout Issue, Analysts Say

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

Political analysts cast doubt that the soon-to-be-tabled Anti-Hopping Law will be enough to stamp out the people’s sentiment toward national politics.

Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research senior fellow Prof Azmi Hassan said that the people are unhappy with the political uncertainties over the last four years.

“The low voter turnout in the last three by-elections was also due to the Covid pandemic and not so much due to party hopping.
“By looking at the low voter turnout, it is PKR and Barisan Nasional (BN) that have suffered most even though BN won in Malacca and Johor.
“DAP has not suffered as badly, but it too has seen lower votes from its supporters since the last elections,” Azmi was quoted by theSun.
Azmi believes that even if the Bill were to be passed by the Dewan Rakyat, it wouldn’t address the low voter turnout as seen in the last few by-elections and state elections.
“The voters want their vote to count, and the Bill would play a crucial part in this. The voters pick an MP and they want him to remain loyal to the party he stood for and won.
“The one good thing about the Bill that might attract voters is that if the MP they pick wants to jump ship, he will need to resign and contest again.”
Another analyst, Dr Jeniri Amir said that it is very important how the Bill is presented to the voters to attract them back to the polling booth.

The senior fellow of the National Council of Professors added that political parties too must strive to field well-like candidates in the next general election to garner support from the people.
“Voters are still disgusted with the way the MPs have behaved … putting self-interest before their constituents.”
 “The Bill would help with voter turnout but the impact will not be that huge,” he said.
Previously, de-facto law minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar had announced in the Dewan Rakyat that an anti-hopping Bill would be tabled in Parliament as part of reforms of the memorandum of understanding signed between the government and Pakatan Harapan.
The Bill aims to make it harder for MPs to change parties after being elected, while also limiting the prime minister’s tenure in office.

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

Members of Parliament from both sides of the political divide will meet on 31 March to iron out their differences with regards to the Anti-Hopping Bill, slated to be tabled in Dewan Rakyat on 11 April.

PKR secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob is seeking the opposition MPs’ opinions on the subject.
“Only fine-tuning is needed on several articles or clauses in the bill.
“The prime minister asked for our views and we suggested reactivating the Steering Committee, apart from agreeing to meet on March 31 to fine-tune it,” Saifuddin was quoted as saying by Bernama.

Saifuddin was referring to the 10-men bipartisan Steering Committee for the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Transformation and Political Stability.
Last Thursday, de-facto law minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar announced that the Anti-Hopping Bill would be tabled at a special sitting on April 11.
He said that the prime minister has agreed to the special sitting and will extend it if necessary for the MPs to discuss the bill.

Operasi Curiga Spotted China’s Ilyushin 11-76 And Xian Y-20 Aircrafts In Malaysian Airspace

Please refer to MKN’s official site for more details.

[UPDATE:  According to reports, the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia claimed that the military aircrafts were conducting a  normal flight exercise.A spokesman for the embassy said that all 16 Chinese Air Force (PLAAF) aircraft were not directly targeting any country and added that there is nothing suspicious about it because Malaysia and China are like friendly neighbors.]

The Foreign Affairs Ministry issued a statement that they will issue a diplomatic protest and summon the ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to explain.

This was in response to a report by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) of aircrafts belonging to the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) entering Malaysian airspace.
The 16 PLAAF aircrafts were recorded entering Malaysian airspace over the Malaysian Maritime Zone (MMZ) on Monday, 31 May. They were detected using the RMAF Air Defence Radar.
According to the report from RMAF, the aircrafts flew in an in-trail tactical formation at 60 nautical miles apart. This is when an aircraft is flying directly under and behind the leader or in the slot position.

The aircrafts are said to have entered Malaysian airspace, after passing through Singapore Flight Information Region (Singapore FIR), and changed direction in Beting Patinggi Ali air space before exiting through the same point that they entered. They were flying between 23,000 to 27,000 feet at a speed of 290 knots.
When the aircrafts were detected entering the Kota Kinabalu Flight Information Region (KK FIR), RMAF launched Hawk 208 aircrafts from the No. 6 Squadron from the Labuan Air Base at 1:33 pm.
With the PLAAF aircrafts in sight, it was confirmed that they were Ilyushin 11-76 and Xian Y-20 aircrafts, strategic carriers that are capable of various types of missions.

Malaysia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry issued a statement in which Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein wrote: “Malaysia’s stand is clear – having friendly diplomatic relations with any countries does not mean that we will compromise our national security. Malaysia remains steadfast in defending our dignity and our sovereignty”.

[Watch] Mas Ermieyati Apologises To Composer Amir Jahari, Altimet Says “Take My Song”

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

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s (Bersatu) member of Parliament Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin’s recent video showing support for former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin after he was charged in court garnered controversy.

This was because the Bersatu Srikandi vice chief used the song Hasrat by Amir Jahari in the politically-themed video without the artist’s permission.
Amir claimed that the song was used without his knowledge and that he doesn’t want his songs to be used for political purposes. His former manager, Joe Lee, asked Mas Ermieyati on Twitter to remove the video as well.
Untuk kalian semua nak guna lagu OST Imaginur Hasrat, saya izinkan selagi :1. Bukan untuk agenda politik2. Bukan untuk menjadi batu api.— Amir Jahari (@amirjaharimuzik) March 10, 2023
Tolong turunkan video di tiktok ini. LAGI SEKALI, LAGU SAYA BUKAN UNTUK AGENDA POLITIK, KERAJAAN MAHUPUN PEMBANGKANG. Thank you, dan saya maafkan kamu. https://t.co/ZW6TWgAroO— Amir Jahari (@amirjaharimuzik) March 11, 2023
Kepada @emysamsudin, bagi pihak @amirjaharimuzik sila padamkan video ni dengan penggunaan tak berizin dari penulis lagu, lirik dan penyanyi #Hasrat iaitu @amirjaharimuzik.Saya minta cara elok, sebelum saya ambil tindakan seterusnya.Hormati soal hakcipta pemilik karya. https://t.co/dd9O91VV4t— ᴊᴏᴇ ʟᴇᴇ (@iamjoelee) March 10, 2023
Mas Ermieyati’s response didn’t improve the situation because to some, it came off as arrogant.
Speaking at a Srikandi event in Cheras last night, she said she was merely appreciating the song and urged Amir to issue a reminder to forbid any political party from using his songs. She said she would perhaps use Siti Nurhaliza’s songs or nasyid songs in the future.
She claimed that Siti Nurhaliza doesn’t care whether her songs would be used for social, welfare or political reasons.
In her apology speech, Mas Ermieyati alleged that Amir refused to let her use his song because she’s an Opposition MP.
She also claimed that the video was uploaded by a 19-year-old who loved the song.
Cara Mas Ermieyati mohon maaf. Langsung takda rasa bersalah, malah sangat angkuh dan sombong. YB korang ke ni? 😮💨 https://t.co/sUSVkcbeWc pic.twitter.com/g10T9QABTe— eFJei (@mrfirdausjailan) March 10, 2023
Joe criticised Mas Ermieyati for her unprofessional response and said there was no need for an aggressive reply.
He reminded her not to treat Amir like a child and not to belittle the intellectual rights of artists.
Netizens called her out for her unprofessional behaviour and for disrespecting local artists.
They also advised her to stop attacking Amir and dragging the matter further.
After about 7 hours, Mas Ermieyati removed the video from her Tiktok account.
On Twitter, she posted a vague tweet which many assumed was still related to the song fiasco.

Padanlah hangin satu badan. Rupanya si Pengurus dia tgh sibuk kejau Menteri yg suka angkat Hp PC awal dulu. #inisemuapoyooooo— mas ermieyati (@emysamsudin) March 10, 2023

Meanwhile, rapper Altimet, possibly in jest, told Mas Ermieyati to just use his song.

https://twitter.com/altimet/status/1634206970738802695?s=20

Muhyiddin, who is Bersatu president, was charged with four counts of abuse of power in relation to the Jana Wibawa economic stimulus programme for Bumiputera businesses.
He also claimed trial for two counts of money laundering totalling RM195 million.
Tak perlu passive aggressive camni.Nak minta maaf biar ikhlas.Nak pakai lagu nasyid ke Siti ke apa ke, hakikatnya tu lagu orang and MOST folks don’t want it to be used for politics.Jangan perkecilkan @amirjaharimuzik sebagai ‘budak’.Jangan perkecilkan soal hakcipta. https://t.co/Xhinb3XBff— ᴊᴏᴇ ʟᴇᴇ (@iamjoelee) March 10, 2023
sambil² minta maaf, sambil² gaslighting. another day to be grateful that PN isn’t the government right now sebab memang jelas yang mereka tak menghormati seniman negara kita.— PASPISPUS BEST (@naninanirandom) March 10, 2023

Can We Really Travel On Holiday For Free?

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

Many of us love to travel. To set out on an adventure and explore new places, meet new people and encounter new experiences.

But for most of us, our wanderlust desires can remain pipe dreams simply for our lack of money and time. After all, it’s not easy to just pack a bag and fly off somewhere nice when you have bills to pay, a 9-to-5 and other life commitments.
And when factoring in things like flight tickets, visas, accommodations, meal expenses and other things, even a quick vacay can add up to be a costly affair.
(Credit: wayhomestudio/lookstudio via Freepik)
But with some street smarts and courage to go out of your comfort zone, there are ways for everyone to live the tourist lifestyle practically for free.
We assembled TRP’s troop of travel bugs to share their experiences of travelling the world without breaking the bank and still making the bank.
1. Going nomad
With WFH taking over the mainstream, people are realising that they can choose to WF-Anywhere and are adopting the digital nomad lifestyle — allowing them the independence of working remotely and the freedom to travel at the same time.
Being uprooted from the office gives the ‘anywhere worker’ opportunities to travel on our own time, and still get paid. All a digital nomad needs is a phone or a laptop to work on and a decent internet connection to remain tethered to our respective professions.
And even governments around the world, including Malaysia, are in support of digital nomads by adopting digitization strategies and offering things like special visas in order to promote professional mobility.
I myself have gone nomad on several occasions locally and abroad on quick getaways playing the working tourist.

2. Voluntourism
Now the idea of being a tourist at a monsoon-ravaged ‘flood festival’ may seem out of the box, but a little compassion can do a lot to broaden our horizons.
Volunteer tourism or ‘voluntourism’ is the practice where people travel with the intention of doing some good in the world. Every voluntourist possesses personal motivation to do what they do — whether it’s to help the community or the environment.
Voluntourists are able to discover interesting locations, gain immersive experiences and build genuine relationships with people from all walks of life.
For example, you could be helping distribute food and supplies to disaster victims or join an activist group to help clean up the beach.
(Credit: Twitter/TRP)
TRP’s very own Hakim Hassan says he has fond memories of voluntourism by helping uplift urban youths through music.
Sure, you may not be staying at fancy hotels and there’s a lot of work involved. But it’s rewarding to go to new places and walk in other people’s shoes.
3. The Bargain B*tch
(Credit: its.anne.with.an.e via Instagram)
For TRP’s lifestyle guru, Anne Dorall, travelling is all about maximising one’s gain. Anne believes that keeping a close eye on bargains, deals and discounts is the best way for the budget-tourist to travel (nearly) for free.
There’s always a free breakfast coupon or an extra night’s stay at a hotel if you look hard enough. And you can always gain extra rewards and travel points if you spend smart. All it takes is research and planning.
Charting her own adventure this year, Anne says that she’ll be taking advantage of AirAsia’s ‘Free Seats’ campaign to make the most of her next getaway.
During the promo, I get to book a free flight to Alor Setar, Johor Bahru, Langkawi, Penang, Kota Bharu, Terengganu, Krabi, Phu Quoc, Singapore, Nha Trang, Sihanoukville and more. The sky’s the limit!

The Neapolitan Frappucino, much like its name suggests, is reminiscent of the triple-flavoured ice cream we loved as kids (and even now!) when we couldn’t decide which flavour we liked best.
The drink holds three thick layers of mocha sauce, strawberry sauce and real vanilla bean powder; then combined with ice and milk, finished with smooth whipped cream, another drizzle of mocha sauce, and crunchy waffle cone topping.
Strawberry, vanilla, chocolate– just like the ice cream!(Credit: TRP)
I would suggest that you don’t mix the drink so that you enjoy each layer of flavour as it is presented.
The S’mores Frappucino also takes inspiration from the toasty warm sweet snack. This drink features a delicious mix of vanilla syrup, mocha sauce and coffee blended with ice and milk is nestled between layers of marshmallow whipped cream. It is even topped with graham cracker sprinkles and a whole fluffy toasted marshmallow!
You would need a spoon to scoop out the marshmallow– I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to poke it with my straw.(Credit: TRP)
For those who have acquired a more sophisticed adult taste, they also have the Chocolate Truffle Nitro Cold Brew, which adds a decadent spin to smooth dark coffee.
The summertime beverage creates a perfect union of smooth, sweet and salty flavors between Starbucks silky Nitro Cold Brew, salted caramel syrup, a rich chocolatey cold foam topping and a sprinkle of scrumptious chocolate powder to finish.
Starbucks have also released a new line of drink tumblers to go with the theme of childhood joy in bright pastels and colorful designs, which would go perfect with your sweet drinks!

Illegal Parking At MRT Station Affects Buses’ Schedules

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

Public transportation companies in our country don’t just offer transport but also parking zones for commuters to park their vehicles. However, there are some cases in which Malaysians do not utilise the services provided to its full capacity.

As an example of this, recently a netizen known as @slainthayer posted a picture of the Cyberjaya MRT station where it was shown how the parking area provided by the station was quite empty.
However, it can be observed that cars are parked by the sides of the road leading to the station.
This may not look like it may cause a lot of trouble, but later another video was shared by @Twt_Cyberjaya where the MRT buses found it hard to manoeuvre along the same road with the cars parked on both sides.
This causes what is called the domino effect, where the buses might be late on their journey leading to passengers being late.
Motorists: “BUILD MORE PARKING HURR DURR”Also motorists: *parks outside of the parking zone to avoid RM4/DAY parking fee* https://t.co/FXhxfbmLrT pic.twitter.com/HXSz5N2vn8— Slainthayer (@slainthayer) April 12, 2023
The netizen @slainthayer also shared how the MRT prepared ample parking spaces for motorists and it only costs them RM4 a day.
We literally bend over backwards to appease the motorist by doubling the amount of parking for MRT2 vs MRT1. The LRTs have even fewer parking at less than 2000 total.https://t.co/gjpJ31zr67 pic.twitter.com/czu8DY7NvY— Slainthayer (@slainthayer) April 12, 2023
People are however still sceptical about the parking. One netizen even posted a video on how he failed to find parking at the MRT Cyberjaya Utara station.
https://t.co/7vtohfVxNC— Zaeim Abdullah (@ZaeimAbdullah) April 13, 2023
While some netizens were sceptical about the issue, many said proper action should be taken on the vehicles that are parked illegally.
Towing n saman every hour— Faizal (@mfidris38) April 12, 2023
It’s time to play cruel. Yg mana parking luar tu, tow semua gi kumpul kat satu tempat. Nanti suruh owner-owner tu datang kutip. Pau je lah sorang RM100. Easy money.— Kimi (@hyoudou_issei07) April 14, 2023
One of the netizens pointed out that the parking spaces are still limited, but if there were more spaces provided, he would be happy to pay the parking fees.
Agreed with this but cyberjaya car park has a limited amount of parking space and the nearest is skypark. So again proper planning needs to be done and i’ll be happy to pay rm4 a day provided it has sufficient parking space.— i’m believer (@devilprinc3) April 12, 2023
Parking issues are a never-ending debate in our country. Nevertheless, it is the responsibility of the people to utilise the services provided efficiently and the government should also find ways to improve these facilities in a way that it can accommodate the needs of many.

Cheer on for Liverpool FC with Carlsberg Red Barley beer in M’sia

What Malaysian Liverpool fans lack in numbers, we make up for in spirit.
Carlsberg knows that too, which is why they’ve brought back their special-edition Carlsberg Red Barley beer for the second time this year!

Sooooooo red.(Picture credit: Carlsberg)

The all-red drink sports a red bottle, label, and cap- but most importantly the beer itself is a strikingly crimson red.
Unlike other red ales, which gets their color from added fruits, the red color of the pilsner comes from the outer-shell of the red barley.
Due to how hard it is to farm red barley commercially, the Carlsberg Red Barley was produced in very limited quantities for the global market.
Thirsty INeed It GIF from Thirsty GIFs

Only a few bottles were available via lucky draw in Malaysia during The Reds’ championship-winning finals against Tottenham Hotspur in June.
However, this time, Kopites can get their hands on the exclusive red beer.
Simply join the Probably The Best Football Viewing Parties in more than 80 outlets nationwide between 14 September to 28 September to catch Liverpool FC’s matches with Newcastle, Chelsea, and Sheffield United.

Collect game cards and stand to win the special-edition Carlsberg Red Barley.
There are 2 ways to get game cards:1) Purchase 3 big bottles of Carlsberg Danish Pilsner or Carlsberg Smooth Draught at participating coffeeshops and restaurants2) Order any Carlsberg drink at participating bars, pubs, and bistros
You can also participate online for a chance to be the lucky winner of the iconic red brew, which will come with the new Carlsberg premium stem glass in a collector’s gift box with a special video tribute to The Reds!

Gov In Discussions To Relax 3 Key SOP Measures In Malaysia

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

Now that we’re almost a month into the endemic phase, the government is discussing the possibility of relaxing three key measures in the SOP to prevent Covid-19.

The three key measures that are in discussion with the Health Ministry (KKM) are:
The wearing of face masksScanning MySejahtera when entering premisesCovid-19 detection tests
We will announce later good news, when we relax (the SOP), surely the people will be happy. Perhaps we will look at it in terms of (face) masks, so the MoH will look at the pros and cons regarding the matter. As for MySejahtera, whether or not to scan at any premises, while at airports, whether there is a need to undergo PCR or RTK Antigen tests upon return KKM is discussing these matters.Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob
According to Malay Mail, Ismail Sabri said the government would also consider people’s concerns on whether the SOP is loosened too much.
Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said that further relaxation of the SOP was expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Is it a good idea to unmask?
Some people believe that there’s no longer a need to wear face masks to protect themselves from Covid-19 because most positive cases are only in Category 1 and 2.
Public health physician Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar said there’s no need to wear face masks in public places and open areas such as shopping malls, markets and outside the classroom.
However, Community Health Specialist of the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Prof Dr Sharifa Ezat Wan Puteh said the decision to unmask fully is wrong.
This is also because determining open and closed areas could be hard to ascertain in places with both indoor and outdoor areas.
She also wondered who would want to monitor and maintain community discipline in that scenario.

Here’s Why We Keep Getting M’sian-Flavoured Condoms Like Rendang, Nasi Lemak, Teh Tarik & Durian

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest updates on current issues.

Have you ever wondered why our favourite meals are invading the bedroom meals?
Why your life got extra sam-ball, you’re more teh tarik to your partner or why y’all are t-hornier?
Why are we seeing Rendang, Nasi Lemak, Teh Tarik & Durian condoms EVERYWHERE?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by ONE Condoms MY (@onecondoms_my) on Aug 19, 2019 at 6:48pm PDT

Well, it’s because the world’s largest condom manufacturer is a Malaysian company!
Yep, the creator of these tasty love gloves is Karex Berhad, a company that has been holding on to the pleasure crown since 2011 when it sold 3 billion condoms!
Forbes reported that Karex’s factories in Malaysia and Thailand have produced 5 billion condoms (~15% of global market) in 2016 that were exported to 120 countries.
One in every five or six condoms is a product manufactured by our company, so I always say we’ve touched a vast number of people in the most intimate way you can imagine!Goh Miah Kiat, CEO of Karex Bhd via The Peak Malaysia.
Not only that, Karex also makes condoms for DUREX.
But they don’t solely make condoms. According to their website, Karex makes personal lubricants, medical probe covers as well as urethral balloon catheters.
Wow, so Malaysian rubber is super kaw. But why local food flavours?
Well, the REAL reason is to promote safe sex.
Malay Mail reports that Karex’s idea behind the local flavours is to break stigma and get people comfortable enough to talk about sex in an educational way. Albeit with a few laughs!

To the CEO of Karex, Goh Miah Kiat, its not just a marketing gimmick, but also a clever way to get food-obsessed Malaysians to get comfortable about sex and contraception.

I wanted something that encouraged Malaysians to talk and, of course, to encourage the use of contraceptives. And nothing unites us like food. I also wanted something we all have in common, nothing too scientific…Innovation is much easier to accept if it’s understood.Goh Miah Kiat, CEO of Karex Bhd via Options, The Edge.

In fact, Malaysia’s Ministry of Health (MOH) reports that sexual activities (heterosexual and same-sex) is the main source of HIV transmission in Malaysia.

The best and arguably the most effective way to protect yourself from HIV is by using condoms.

Condoms are 90 to 95% effective when used consistently.  In fact, consistent condom users are 10 to 20 times less likely to become infected when exposed to the virus than inconsistent or non-users.

There you go, now you know why Malaysia’s bedroom adventures are getting so sedap.
Be sure to share this message around for Malaysians to be more aware of their safety.
And remember: No glove, no love!

16 kids sue 5 countries in landmark climate crisis complaint

Greta Thunberg, at 16 years old, together with 15 other youth, have put forward a human rights complaint against 5 countries producing the world’s largest amount of greenhouse gas.
Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, and Turkey are not faced with any form of monetary fine, instead they are demanded to take immediate action to reduce their carbon emissions.
Do It What Are You Waiting For GIF from Doit GIFs

This lawsuit comes hot on the heels of Greta’s impassioned speech at the Climate Action Summit 2019 on the 23rd of September.

This is all wrong. I should be back in school, on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people, for hope. How dare you?
Greta Thunberg at the Climate Action Summit 2019

She punctuated her sharply-worded speech with emotion and controlled rage, casting the blame squarely on the world leaders who lack the urgency in dealing with the climate crisis.

You have stolen my dreams, my childhood with your empty words. All you can talk about is the money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line.
Greta Thunberg at the Climate Action Summit 2019
The youths are charging the countries for not having used their resources to prevent the deadly and foreseeable consequences of the current climate crisis, or cooperated effectively with other nations to address the problem.

A post shared by UNICEF Latin America (@uniceflac) on Sep 23, 2019 at 3:59pm PDT

The complaint addresses these issues as a human rights violation- and if the suit is successful, then the United Nations would classify the climate crisis as a children’s right crisis.
Only those countries were named in the complaint because they are among the 44 that have accepted the convention’s jurisdiction to hear complaints against them.
Do You Rest Your Case Rest My Case GIF from Doyourestyourcase GIFs

Of the 44, they are the top 5 leading emitters of greenhouse gases, which is quickly warming up the planet and triggering extreme impacts.
The United States and China, both also top emitters of greenhouse gases, have not signed the part of the treaty that allows children to seek justice for the violation of their rights.
In a 2016 listing of highest emitters of cumulative carbon dioxide, our neighbour Indonesia made the Top 20 at #11.

No Funding, No Problem! Malaysian Musician Overcomes Challenges And Wins At US-Based Award Show

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

Malaysian singer-songwriter Lyia Meta was a big winner at The Texas Sound International Country Music Awards 2021 last weekend, winning an award for Vocalist of the Year and Virtual Entertainer Of The Year.
However, her win proved a major challenge and according to FMT, the government had refused Lyia, and her guitarist husband Zack, the financial support to perform, and ultimately promote Malaysian tourism, at the US-based event.
Lack of funds and support from authorities
(Credit: Lyia Meta / Facebook)
The musical husband and wife duo were initially to promote Malaysia as an ‘attractive destination’ for Americans at two seminars during the music festival.
The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture however cited “no funds”.
Lyia, who is Portuguese Settlement-born, also sought help from the Melaka government but received no response.
It was said that RM60,000 was needed for the 10-day US trip where top international music artists from around the world come to Jefferson, Texas to compete in various categories at the Texas Sounds International Music Awards.
The people of Jefferson even helped to raise US$5,000 (RM20,000) in cash and kind.
The Cultural Economy Development Agency (CENDANA) eventually stepped in but it was still not enough to fund the trip.
Performance that inspired a new category
Despite financial setbacks, Preston Taylor, Vice President of the East Texas Performaring Arts Inc, insisted Lyia do a pre-recorded show
The recording was done last minute with the support of local production company Big A Productions.
Here’s the video of the award-winning performance:

A win that will see Lyia compete next year
Her international win and recognition now have the attention of the Malaysian Embassy in Washington D.C. with Texas Sounds International Country Music Awards official Facebook saying they received a phone call from them to “help assure” that Lyia will get to compete in person next year.

Backlash from netizens
Despite the triumphant outcome for Lyia, some netizens were unhappy about the initial lack of support from the relevant authorities in Malaysia.
Some netizens commented that this is usually the case and that: “We hardly support local artistes. Sad la.”
Another netizen chimed in to say:
The local decision-making-budget-holding ijits never give credit where it’s due, especially when it doesn’t fall within the “Malaysian image” they have in their heads. You must dress, act, sing, dance, talk a certain way to be accepted, & backed. Basically be their robot. Talent is NOT recognized here.

[Watch] Ustaz Apologises For Saying Penang Mosque Turned Into Temple

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

A religious teacher, Zainul Asri, who claimed that a mosque in Penang had become a temple, has publicly apologised.

In a video released on social media, Zainul Asri pointed out that the remark he made about a mosque in Penang having turned into a temple was made when he was preaching in Alor Setar.
After the video went viral, it caused dissatisfaction and anxiety.
He confessed that what he said was merely local rumour or had happened in the past.
However, there was no evidence or documents to support the rumour, and he apologised.

The earlier video showed Zainul saying: “A mosque in Penang has now become a temple (tokong). It used to belong to Indian Muslims, and when they returned to India, somehow, it became a tokong today.”
These remarks attracted attention on social media.
Datuk Ahmad Zakiyuddin Abdul Rahman, Penang’s deputy chief minister and the Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP) chairman, issued a statement denying the above allegation.
Netizens also reacted on social media and lambasted Zainul for telling lies despite being a man of God.

 Religion in Politics
The role of religion and its involvement in politics has been a topic of debate for the longest time.
Some argue that religious people should stay out of politics to avoid potential conflicts of interest or the risk of becoming too involved in worldly affairs.
They believe that the primary focus of religious people should be on spiritual matters and serving their religious communities.

On the other hand, others argue that religious people are responsible for speaking out on social and political issues that are relevant to their religious teachings.
They said it is also advocacy for their community’s well-being.
They believe that religion and politics are interconnected and that clerics can use their influence to promote justice, equality, and peace.

Politicians React To RoS Rejecting PEJUANG and MUDA

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

The Registrar of Societies (RoS) have rejected the application from both PEJUANG and MUDA headed by Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Former Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq.

We take a look at the reactions from the politicians after the news broke out:
Dr Mahathir Mohamad
In a press conference today, Dr Mahathir claimed they were told verbally that their application would be approved pending confirmation by the Minister.
This means that an administrative process became political.Tun Dr Mahathir Muhammad
Despite being rejected by RoS, Dr Mahathir said that Pejuang will pursue every course possible in accordance to the law to remedy the situation.
Syed Saddiq
Former Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq was furious with the rejection and went on Facebook to issue an official statement on the matter.
He also criticised the government for disallowing his party to register, saying that they are deliberately trying to downplay the youth.
It is very clear that the government of the day is fearful of the youth, many of whom are jaded by the way the country is run and have no loyalty to politicians of the past.Is the government so insecure about their own support that they dare not face a party of so called “small kids”?Former Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq via Facebook

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim
Opposition leader and PKR President Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim slammed RoS for the decision, saying that it is “completely unacceptable” and demanded the registrar to explain why both parties were unable to register.
He also said, in a Facebook post, that the office of the RoS is not a political tool for the government to use and manipulate to suit their agenda.
Transparency and accountability must be enforced and enshrined so that all members in that department realize their responsibility, and that they will be called to account for their actions.PKR President Anwar Ibrahim via Facebook

Malaysia Reaffirms Palestine Solidarity, Insists On Rejecting Two-State Solution With Israel

Subscribe to our Telegram channel or follow us on the Lumi News app for the latest stories and updates.

Malaysian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) led the call on rejecting the Two-State Solution for Palestine during the World Conference on Palestine 2023 held in Putrajaya.

Allied Coordinating Committee of Islamic NGOs (ACCIN) chief executive officer Jamal Shamsudin urged the Malaysian Government and the United Nations to reject the solution, citing insincerity and disrespect for basic justice and human rights rules.
He emphasized that the Zionist state of Israel is continuously building a hegemonic state with dangerous nuclear weapons, making a two-state solution unviable due to ongoing colonization and illegal settlements on Palestinian land.

The only way forward is liberation in whatever form is effective, which includes a truly democratic state that respects the rights of all its citizens, is just, and leaves no one behind.

ACCIN chief executive officer Jamal Shamsudin.
He also highlighted that people in Israel yearn for peace and are disdained by the injustices happening.
At the same time, he reminded that Israel is an illegal nation built on terrorism and contravenes international law.
The conference saw several influential figures, such as Sheikh Dr Ekrima Sabri, Grand Imam of Al Aqsa Mosque, visiting Malaysia to attend the event.
The Struggle For A Contiguous Palestinian State
The Two-State Solution is a proposed solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that envisions the establishment of two separate states for Israelis and Palestinians, living side by side in peace and security.
The idea is that Israel would exist as a Jewish state, and Palestine would exist as an independent state for Palestinians.
The proposal has been discussed for several decades and supported by various international actors, including the United Nations.
However, critics of the Two-State Solution argue that it is not viable due to ongoing Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Meaningful Actions To Address The Apartheid Nature Of Israel
Professor Mohd Nazari Ismail, chairman of Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) Malaysia, said this is unlikely to happen as Israel will never accept it due to their settler-colonialist project.
He said the international community’s continued support for the two-state solution may be due to a lack of interest in finding an alternative solution or a desire to avoid conflict with the US and Western countries.
Instead, people should focus on meaningful actions to highlight the apartheid nature of the Zionist state and boycott the country until it stops its systemic abuses of human rights.

Mohd Nazari calls for people of conscience worldwide to insist that their governments drop the idea immediately and instead focus on meaningful actions to address the apartheid nature of the Zionist state.
He emphasised that achieving freedom, justice, and equality for Palestinians requires a combination of sincere desire and strong determination.
A half-hearted and hypocritical attitude will only prolong the miseries of all parties involved.

Malaysians Can’t Travel Interstate Anymore, Says Ismail Sabri

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

Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has announced that interstate travel will not be allowed at all now.
This is after reports by the police that as many as 1,300 queued up at the Kuantan district police station to apply for permission to return to balik kampung.
He said the decision was made by the Special Meeting of the National Security Council (MKN) after this incident.
Despite being told that they can’t go back to their hometowns, some Malaysians have tried their luck to travel interstate even though the country is still under the Movement Control Order (MCO).
Reports surfaced of vehicles starting to pile up on highways as thousands try to return to their hometowns and as of 20 May more than 3,000 vehicles tried to balik kampung.
Although many were told to turn back, some managed to reach their hometowns, prompting the government to deploy both the police and military to conduct patrols and weed out those who travel interstate without permission.

The study asked people how they feel about living in their countries, the types of freedoms they do or do not enjoy, and things such as how generous or corrupted they think civil society is in its current form.

According to the report, people all over the globe have faced greater economic insecurity, anxiety and disruption to every aspect of their lives since the start of the pandemic in 2020 – causing many to suffer stress and taking tolls on their physical and mental health.
However, the study pointed out that the world remained resilient in the face of a global catastrophe and maintained a positive outlook on life.
People in the eastern and southern parts of Asia were shown to be growing in happiness compared to previous years as well as to other parts of the globe.
But, the pandemic still took its toll on the world’s emotional state with the study showing more and more people afflicted with negative emotions like worry and sadness in 2020 compared to previous years, while people’s anger levels remained unchanged.

More people around the world are also saying that they are doing more interesting things or activities in their lives now, compared to before.

Wall’s Ovaltine Crunchy Choc Is Chock Full Of Creamy Balls [Review]

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

So, I finally got my hands on an Ovaltine Crunchy Choc tub of ice cream, and of course the first thing I do is to take lots of pictures of it shove it in my mouth.

The Ovaltine Crunchy Choc is one of Wall’s newest ice-cream products released together with the Ovaltine Crunchy Pop.

The main difference between the two is that Ovaltine Crunchy Choc is the one in the tub, and Ovaltine Crunchy Pop is the popsicle stick version, but the ice-cream itself is also actually different!

A tub of choc on choc on choc
Crunchy Choc features a chocolate malt ice cream with chocolate swirls and chocolate balls. This is different from the Crunchy Pop, which features white chocolate malt ice-cream and chocolate pop flakes on the outer coat instead.
The chocolate balls are a little biscuit-y, and add a really nice texture that accentuates the creaminess of the chocolate malt ice cream. (For a lack of better words, it tastes like the chocolate balls that you can get as toppings at Llao Llao.)

The chocolate malt ice-cream is truly smooth and creamy, with a malty richness that gives it more depth than usual chocolate ice cream.
Serious lovers of chocolate should definitely give the Ovaltine Crunchy Choc a shot just for how chocolate-y it is.
A stick of poppin’ pop
The Ovaltine Crunchy Pop is also quickly becoming a favourite but those who enjoy crunchy textures should try it.
The crunchy outer coat on its own is already great, but the pop flakes truly add a light crispy crunch that will make you want to keep munching away.
The white chocolate malt ice-cream also has a lovely malty richness, but is not as deeply chocolate at the Crunchy Choc.
The Ovaltine Crunchy Pop features white chocolate malt ice-cream with crunchy pop flakes, which have a lighter crunch similar to cereal flakes.(Credit: Wall’s)
Regardless of whether you’re a serious lover of a chocolate or simply flirting with crunchy ice-creams, both the Crunchy Choc and the Crunchy Pop are definitely worth a try.
