Malaysians Turned Covid-19 Lockdowns Into Home Improvement Month

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

As millions of Malaysians find themselves stuck indoors during the previous nationwide Movement Control Order (MCO) period, you may have noticed a trend of enthusiastic people choosing to productively spend their time sprucing up their homes and living spaces.
Sharing their awe-inspiring home improvements and makeovers online, these amateur interior designers give professionals a run for their money with their creativity and resourcefulness at turning ordinary looking spaces into comfortable and cozy accommodation to spend their isolation.
From simple home offices to an intergalactic themed bedroom, it’s hard not to be impressed by the amazing work that’s accomplished by our very own Malaysians with just a little bit of free time, some determination, and a whole lot of hard work.

(Video) Police Officer Investigated For Kicking Suspect

(This story has been updated to include the correct video and description of the incident)
Subscribe to our new Telegram channel for the latest stories and updates.

In the wake of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest against systemic racism and police brutality in the United States (US), the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) is investigating its own alleged case of excessive violence committed by their officers.
In a video that’s gone viral online, a uniformed police officer was caught kicking at an apparently unarmed suspect after the latter had crashed and fallen off of his motorcycle by the side of a road near Tasik Ampang Hilir, Kuala Lumpur (KL).
In the 10-second-ish video captured by a passerby, a police officer is seen cornering and repeatedly kicking a suspect, who at the time was already on the ground next to a fallen bike.
In the video, another officer is seen falling off of his own motorcycle before proceeding to try and calm his partner down.

Speaking to the press, KL Police Chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said that the incident would not be taken lightly and strict action will be taken against any officers who violate standard operating procedures (SOP) while on duty.
Revealing details behind the video, the Chief explained that the officers seen in the clip had tried to stop two suspicious individuals on a motorcycle before the suspects raced off in efforts to avoid capture.
The Chief said that the suspects who were riding on the opposite side of traffic suddenly lost control of the vehicle and crashed at the side of the road.
According to Mazlan Lazim, during the incident, the suspect had responded aggressively and resisted arrest.
Reportedly, only one of the suspects managed to be detained by the officers while the other, who was riding pillion, managed to escape by jumping into a large storm drain at the scene.
Preliminary tests confirmed that the apprehended suspect was positive for drugs and also had a prior criminal record of drug use and burglary.
The Chief said that the case was currently being investigated under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and an internal investigation is being conducted to probe the officers in question.

Covid-19 Vaccine: Health D-G Responds To Reuter’s Report Regarding Pfizer’s Supply Problems

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

The Health Ministry released a statement in response to the public’s inquiry regarding a recent Reuter’s report on 4 December.

The report claimed that the US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has had challenges to their raw material supply chain which will result in reduced quantities for the first batch of their Covid-19 vaccine.
Malaysia is the first Southeast Asian nation to announce its deal with Pfizer for Covid-19 vaccines and has since agreed to buy 12.8 million doses in total.
As Pfizer’s vaccine requires each person to take two doses, if the agreement goes through, the deal will immunise 6.4 million Malaysians.

The Health Ministry has yet to receive any confirmation of this from Pfizer
(Credit: Malay Mail)
In the statement, Health Director-General Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said that the Malaysian National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) has yet to receive any official document from Pfizer regarding the reported issues.
The NPRA has not yet received any documents from Pfizer for the evaluation and testing required for the registering of their vaccine product, not has the NPRA received any information related to the reported issue of vaccine dose supply problems.Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, Health Director-General of Malaysia
The NPRA is the body responsible for evaluating, testing, approving and registering all drugs, including vaccines, as safe and effective for public use in Malaysia.
The agency also ensures the quality, safety and efficacy of vaccines and medicines are continually guaranteed through its monitoring programmes and pharmacovigilance.
Dr Noor Hisham continued saying that the Health Ministry will resume monitoring the development of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine and obtain more information on this matter.
Reuters reported that Pfizer has slashed its target number of vaccine doses for 2020.
You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. Angela Hwang, our Group President, Biopharmaceuticals, answers questions on our #COVID19 vaccine candidate.

According to the report by Reuters, a spokeswoman from Pfizer said that the company had slashed its initial target of producing 100 million doses in the first batch, to just 50 million doses.
That would be enough to inoculate only 25 million people during the first rollout.
She cited issues in securing the needed raw materials required for manufacturing the vaccines and a delay in obtaining Pfizer’s clinical trial results.
Nevertheless, the spokeswoman informed Reuters that the modifications to Pfizer’s production lines are completed and finished doses are now being made at a rapid pace.
Which countries are relying on Pfizer for vaccine supply

Through a quick search on Google, it appears that the following countries have struck deals with Pfizer for the Covid-19 vaccine.
While some countries have announced how many doses they’re getting through their deal, like Malaysia not all have announced how many they are expecting during the first rollout.
United States – Pfizer has agreed to supply the US with a total of up to 300 million doses and plans to have a first batch of 6.4 million doses ready for the country by 2020.European Union – EU countries are expected to get a supply of 200 million doses in total. No report has confirmed how many doses they’ll be getting during the first rollout.Japan – Japan has secured 120 million doses from Pfizer by the first quarter of 2021United Kingdom – The UK has ordered 40 million doses in total, with the first batch of 800,000 to be received by next week.Middle East Nations – Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt and Iraq have all struck deals with Pfizer for the vaccine as well. Kuwait will reportedly be getting a first batch of 150,000 vaccines, while Israel has reportedly ordered a total of 8 million doses.Malaysia – We have ordered a total of 12.8 billion doses, but are unsure how many doses will arrive in the first batch.

M’sians are salting themselves to death

A high salt diet contributes to organ failure and leads to one of the highest causes of deaths in Malaysia.
Knowing this, the Malaysian Health Ministry made no new friends yesterday when they listed a few of our favourite foods as having too much salt.

Makanan satu hidangan yg tinggi kandungan garam kerana guna byk sos dan perencah.
1. Mee Kolok/Kampua mee2. Mee kari3. Sayur goreng sos tiram4. Mee segera goreng5. Mee sup6. Sayur goreng ikan masin7. Nasi goreng
Kawal makanan2 ini ok.💪
*Minggu Kesedaran Garam 2019
â€” KKMPutrajaya (@KKMPutrajaya) April 16, 2019

The Tweet was made in conjunction with Salt Awareness Week 2019 or Minggu Kesedaran Garam in Bahasa.
Batman Thinking GIF from Batman GIFs

But how much salt is too much salt?
According to the WHO, you only need about ONE TEASPOON of salt a day!
Unfortunately, the average person consumes about double that amount which contributes to high blood pressure, risk of heart disease and even worse, a stroke!
Edgy Veg Noodles GIF from Edgyveg GIFs

That’s oily AND salty. Which is why it’s so delicious and deadly.
We also don’t want friends, so here are 5 more common foods that we bet you didn’t know had hidden salt!
1. Instant foodFrom imported potato crisps (or chips) to your local Mee Goreng Mamak.
2. High Protein FoodAnchovies (ikan bilis), liver, beef kidneys.
3. Baked beansOur favourite go-to English breakfast or brunch staple. It turns out that tinned baked beans use salt as preservatives.
4. Fast FoodOkay, this one’s obvious but burger patties and fries are all packed with food stabilisers and artificial flavouring that have salt in them.
5. SambalSadly, yet another staple that is loaded with salt. From the sauces to the anchovies, to stock cubes, all are loaded with salt.
Plus, salt makes you dehydrated, leaving your skin looking dry and wrinkly.
We don’t want that now, do we?

Shahidan Says Plans Underway To Ensure Anwar’s Cabinet Doesn’t Last Long

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

Arau MP Shahidan Kassim recently claimed that efforts are underway by Perikatan Nasional (PN) to topple the current government.

Shahidan, who was an UMNO man until just before the last general election (GE15) when he contested under PN, hinted that Anwar Ibrahim’s newly-formed Cabinet would not last long and shared that PN is receiving good support from the ground.
He said this in a press conference after campaigning for PN in Padang Serai on 4 December.
We’re currently working towards ensuring that the Cabinet will not last long. InshaAllah, we will return to power based on the people’s mandate. The party that won the majority are PN members from PAS.Arau MP Shahidan Kassim
In a report by Free Malaysia Today, Shahidan said the new Cabinet line-up saw “losers” getting appointed as ministers because Pakatan Harapan (PH) did not have industry experts.
He alleged that Anwar did not appoint many “powerful parliamentarians” from UMNO and DAP to helm important ministries because they lacked expertise.

Previously, PN chairman Muhyiddin Yassin criticised the appointment of kleptocrats into the Cabinet and said Anwar had sacrificed the principles of good governance he championed during the 15th general election (GE15).
In response, UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Muhyiddin and his allies should work on being formidable opposition instead of complaining.

Raja Bomoh Plans To Sue Religious Dept For RM300 Mil Over Heretical Ritual Claims

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

Raja Bomoh Ibrahim Mat Zain made the news headlines on Wednesday, 5 January, when he performed a ‘Tepung Tawar’ ritual to protect the state of Perak from floods.

With help from his cousin named Puteri Zaleha, they conducted the ritual at Dataran JPS in Teluk Intan using ingredients such as turmeric, flowers, rice and plants.
READ MORE: Raja Bomoh Teams Up To Protect Perak From Flood, Authorities Advise People To Stay Away From ‘Rituals’
Although he performed the ritual with good intentions, the state religious department claimed the ritual as heretical and contradicted Islamic teachings.
He’s going to sue the religious department
After discussing with his lawyers, Raja Bomoh said he’ll proceed to file a RM300 million defamation suit against the religious department that accused him of conducting a ritual that went against Islamic beliefs.
According to Focus Malaysia, Raja Bomoh said the ritual was solely for Allah SWT to prevent floods in Teluk Intan.
My purpose is so that there will not be any major floods in Teluk Intan. I did it so that Sungai Manik, Labu Kubong, Kampung Gajah, Parit and Bagan Datuk won’t get flooded. I prayed and used leaves and sticks that were released into the river.  My goal is to save the cemetery and to avoid the royal tomb from being swept away. My parents and many of my descendants were buried in Teluk Intan. It is not my intention to be prideful or want publicity.Raja Bomoh Ibrahim Mat Zain

According to Utusan, he has been waiting for a call from the Perak Islamic Affairs Department (JAIPk) and was disappointed by the way the religious department has responded.
Raja Bomoh said the department should have called him up for a discussion and handled the issue in a discreet manner.
He has also lodged a police report to rebut allegations that his ritual contravened Islamic beliefs on Thursday, 6 January, at the Teluk Intan police station.
In the police report, I have stated that the ritual did not involve or concern any party or individuals.Raja Bomoh Ibrahim Mat Zain

Hilir Perak OCPD Asst Comm Ahmad Adnan Basri confirmed that the police received a report made by Raja Bomoh and has referred the report to the JAIPk for investigation.
JAIPk director Datuk Mohd Yusop Husin said the case will be investigated under Section 14 of the Perak Syariah Criminal Enactment 1992 for denigrating and insulting the religion of Islam.

Melaka Wants To Build ASEAN’s First Disneyland, Claims EXCO Member

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

The state of Melaka will be home to Disneyland’s first theme park in Southeast Asia, according to an EXCO member.

In a news report by TV3, the EXCO member said the Disneyland theme park will ‘probably’ be built in Jasin, Melaka, but he can’t disclose the exact location just yet.
It will allegedly stand at a 80.9 hectares. (In comparison, Genting Highlands Skyworlds is about 10.5 hectares.)
The State Executive Council member in question, Datuk Muhammad Jailani claimed that this would be Disneyland’s first park in the ASEAN territory, after other international parks located in China, Europe, Japan, and Korea. The project is expected to cost RM2 billion.

However, this new project is still only in the initial stages of planning, hence its size and location may change.
Additionally, the park will be linked up to a proposed development ‘Maglev’ public transportation system that links up Melaka’s tourism hotspots. This proposed system will be 22 kilometers long and will cost around $200 million (approximately RM900 million).
Is it legit?
However, while the news stirred up Malaysians’ excitement for a Disneyland in our own backyard, the whole announcement seems a little unorthodox.
The project is referred to as both “Disneyland” and “Disney City”, the first which refers to the theme park and the second which does not exist in the House of Mouse dictionary.

At the press conference for the announcement of these projects, no Disney representative was present. (And anyone who has ever worked with Disney before knows how strict they are when it comes to announcements.)
Instead, present at the press conference were Deputy Chairman of Menara Taming Sari, Mohd Noor Helmy Abdul Halem; Chief Executive Officer of Group Melaka Berhad, Mohd Salleh Jusman; Chief Executive Officer of Menara Taming Sari Azlan Abidin; Chairman of KCI Metrolink Sdn Bhd, Dr. Parimalan R. Isa Michael and representative of Korea Camping Caravanning Federation Divisional Corporation, Mr Sunkyo Chris Lee.
The MoU involves several companies including Taming Sari Berhad, Banking Institution (Exim Credit Dubai Zurich Capital Bank & Sparco Bank UK) and Korea Camping Caravanning Federation A Divisional Corporation (KCCF).
TRP has reached out to Disney for further comments.

KJ Faces Immediate Backlash For Asking If Mamak Hours Should No Longer Be 24 Hours

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

Malaysia is one of the countries that are tops in terms of obesity and heart diseases.

In a bid to improve every Malaysian’s health, the Agenda Nasional Malaysia Sihat (ANMS) is launched today.
During the launch of the agenda on TV1’s Selamat Pagi Malaysia programme, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said that Malaysia is not a healthy country.
“In Malaysia one in every two people are obese, including myself, while one in four don’t practise physical activity and only one in 20, maintain healthy eating.
“According to official statistics, half a million adults suffer from depression. I am confident that this is lower than the actual figure,” Khairy said.
As such, Khairy said Malaysians need to make a behavioral change voluntarily and increase awareness to get health checks without having to rely on the Health Ministry or the government.

On Twitter, Khairy wasted no time and posed the question: Should the nation’s favourite hangout, the mamak stalls, be open 24/7 or be limited to a time frame?
Sempena pelancaran #AgendaNasionalMalaysiaSihat, apa pandangan anda terhadap waktu operasi restoran ‘kedai mamak’?— Khairy Jamaluddin 🇲🇾🌺 (@Khairykj) November 11, 2021
Netizens on Twitter went on the defensive to defend their precious mamak stalls.
“Why target mamak shops? They also want to live [make a living]. Target groups with circadian disruption which caused them to gain weight and need late night snacks first. If you close mamak, they’ll make Maggi. Please give us sunrise at 6am again. Don’t follow Borneo, this causes circadian disruption,” a Twitter user wrote.
Why target mamak shops. Depa pun nak hidup. Target groups yg circadian disruption sampai gemuk, need late night snacks, dulu. Tutup mamak depa masak megi. Pls give us sunrise at 6am again. Jgn ikut borneo, this causes circadian disruption.— Marina Gamba (@marinagamba1909) November 11, 2021
“There are healthy options to choose at mamak too. The idea is to have enough idea on what are healthy meal options to run a daily life. The problem with Malaysia is that unhealthy foods are cheap but healthy ones are expensive, stirs away the crowd for options,” another person responded to Khairy’s tweet.

“24 hours is the way to go. Less crowd as well,” a netizen wrote.

A few Twitter users pointed out that other 24-hour restaurants should be included too.
“It should be ’24 Hours Restaurants’ not just kedai mamak if you want an Agenda Sihat survey. Mcdonald’s isn’t healthy either,” a netizen tweeted.
It should be ‘24 Hours Restaurants’ not just kedai mamak kalau nak survey ‘Agenda Sihat’…Mcdonalds are not healthy either— AA (@adam_amanullah) November 11, 2021
“Why the decision to single out mamak? If it’s for healthy justifications, other F&B joints (fast foods, 7/11, burger stalls) are complicit too, no? If you’re serious about combating unhealthiness, for whatever political mileage, why target only mamak?” another person wrote.

Another netizen also highlighted that limiting the opening hours will affect mamak employees and employees who work at odd hours.
“You may be punishing the workers who work odd hours like call center staffs, front liners.. Etc etc.. Mamak, although unhealthy, provides a places to eat and destress for an hour for those chaps.. Please reconsider, chief,” the netizen wrote.

“Restaurants should always be allowed to open 24 hours. Some of us don’t have the time and luxury to cook something up at home whenever we want to,” another netizen echoed similar sentiments.

Netizens suggest healthier alternatives
Based on the responses so far, it looks like the Health Ministry need to reconsider their plans.
Maybe the Ministry should listen to netizens who put forward a few acceptable and workable options.
“Can we also consider improving the infrastructure like walkways and bicycle lanes so people can opt to walk rather than drive all the time. Make health choices part of people’s everyday life. So there’s no need to only exercise on the weekends at a park when you have the time,” they wrote.

“Instead of thinking about mamak operation hours, why don’t [the Ministry] think about a more attractive recreational place or a gym facility,” a Twitter user wrote.

“Make doing cheap outdoor activities accessible to all! Right now it’s so difficult for people to go hiking at the outer edge of Selangor. All the trails are there but no public transport, and the trails aren’t marked. Heck, even to get to Broga Hill and back is a pain!” a netizen tweeted.

Some tips & references for seat choosing
For those still not familiar with Bukit Jalil National Stadium’s seating, you can try to browse for the seating view first on social media before deciding on buying which areas.
To do that, simply use the #coldplayinkl, #coldplayinmalaysia, and #stadiumbukitjalil hashtags or just write these keywords on Twitter or TikTok. There will be lots of videos and pictures of the seat view from various points of view of those who went to the previous Blackpink concert last March.
You might want to avoid seats with restricted views, such as those restricted by the fences.
On Twitter, you can also type those keywords and find out tweets with tips from previous concertgoers. One such example is this Twitter thread by @brgsjks.
Yang nak beli tiket Coldplay, tengok seat jugak. Elakkan dari beli:1. Cat 5 section 1102. Section 207, row G no 37. Nanti dok kat tangga3. Cat 4, 212, row W pun ada pagar.4. Seat 213 Row YMana mana yang rasa pernah experience seat ada pemandangan bermasalah, boleh roger.… pic.twitter.com/WGX6UmxktI— brgsjks (@brgsjks) May 10, 2023
So what are you waiting for? Go and flatter those CIMB account holders and book those tickets before it’s too late! We need those cheap tickets!

Peninsular Malaysia Has The Highest Electricity Rebate Rates, But East Malaysia…

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

Peninsular Malaysia has the highest electricity bill rebates that covers multiple sectors and all households compared to our neighbours in Southeast Asia, according to reports by Bernama.
This is based on announcements made on the economic stimulus package by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on 27 February.
It includes an allocation of RM500 million to provide discounts of up to 15% for the tourism sector on their bills for 6 months from April to September.
This is followed by a 2% discount for the commercial, industrial and agriculture sectors, as well as all households in Peninsular Malaysia.
Discounts are also given on a tiered basis for residential homes of between 15% and 50% depending on the usage with the option for a payment plan if customers struggle to cope with spikes in their electricity bills.
Meanwhile, East Malaysia allegedly didn’t receive the same benefits as according to Bandar Kuching representative Kelvin Yii, who came out with a statement said, the government didn’t extend negotiations with Sarawak Energy Berhad – the state-owned electricity provider.
That is why it would not be fair to Sabahans or Sarawakians to miss out on this incentive that can help ease their financial burdens especially during this tough time.Kelvin Yii via Facebook

In contrast to our neighbours; Singapore offers all households containing at least one Singaporean a one-off payment of SG$100 to cover their utility bills while Thailand gives an automatic 3% discount to eight types of users on their power bill between April and June.
Meanwhile, the Vietnamese government has given a 10% discount for 30 million Vietnamese citizens for their electricity bills.
As for the Philippines, households which consumed up to 200 kWh per can settle their bills in instalments for up to 4 months.

You could soon auto delete WhatsApp messages with upcoming new feature!

When WhatsApp introduced the message deleting feature, it
was heaven sent for those of us with fat thumbs and the inability to spell.
But what about the times when you send out *ehem* sensitive
messages that you want gone after a certain amount of time?
Well, it looks like you could soon auto delete WhatsApp messages because theyâ€™re working on a disappearing messages feature!

With this feature, you can set an expiration time for
selected messages and itâ€™ll be automatically deleted from the chat.
According to the WhatsApp BetaInfo blog, the feature is not available yet and currently under alpha development.
However, the blog offers a first look at the upcoming development which will let you delete messages within 5 seconds OR 1 hour.

To turn on the feature, all you have to do is:

Go into the chat settings
Turn on disappearing messages
Set the timer.

Once the disappearing messages feature is enabled, any messages will be automatically removed and thereâ€™s no tracks left behind in the chat.
Based on the screenshots provided by WhatsApp BetaInfo, it
seems that the feature is being tested for group chats. However, it may be extended
to private chats as well.

Since the feature is still under alpha development, even WhatsApp beta users don’t have the chance to try it yet.
While there is no official announcement or indication, it could
be rolled out in the next WhatsApp beta update.

Nonetheless, we’re looking forward to a future where we can send out delicate information on the messaging platform and erase them permanently from afar.

[Watch] 2 Men In Klang Tried To Block An Ambulance From Reaching The Hospital

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

An ambulance that was on the way to the hospital with a patient was blocked and harassed on the road by two people around 2.23pm on Thursday, 24 March.

The ambulance was taking a dialysis patient to Hospital Sri Kota, Klang, when a white Toyota Hiace and a blue Modernas Kriss motorcycle worked in tandem to block the path.
The ambulance driver spoke through the loudspeaker and tried to warn the driver of the Toyota Hiace not to follow too close because it was dangerous to do so.
However, the Toyota Hiace driver drove even closer and tailgated the ambulance the whole way.
  @hikumi_85 Warning ⚠ alert. Disclaimer: kami off siren sebab patient non emergency. Transport 1 patient bed ridden pergi ke pusat dialysis…Dan terjadilaaa benda ni🤬tlng viralkan…report polis sudah buat #kenebuli #warning⚠ #ambulans #fyp ♬ original sound  – Azman Roy760
Not long after, a motorist stopped in front of the ambulance to obstruct its path. The motorist got off his motorcycle, approached the side door and demanded the ambulance driver to get out of the vehicle.
The Toyota Hiace then stopped beside the ambulance to corner in the vehicle.
The ambulance driver quickly reversed the vehicle and made their way to the nearest police station to avoid conflict.
In another video recorded by a medical assistant in the ambulance, the motorist and driver of the Toyota Hiace continued to chase the ambulance.
The motorist only split when he realised he was being recorded.
According to Free Malaysia Today, the police managed to arrest the two suspects aged 53 and 30 at 4pm on Friday, 25 March.
South Klang district police chief Cha Hoong Fong said the ambulance driver lodged a report with the Klang police station.
He added that both suspects did not have any past records and the police will make a remand application tomorrow at the Klang Court.
The case is investigated under Section 279 of the Penal Code for driving in a rash or dangerous manner on a public road and under Section 341 of the Penal Code for wrongful obstruction.

Politicians, Key Figures Slapped With Compounds For Breaching SOP In Johor

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

Several politicians from Perikatan Nasional (PN) who were present at the Johor MIC Brigade launching ceremony at the EduCity Sports Complex Indoor Stadium will be slapped with a compound for violating SOPs, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

A video surfaced yesterday of political figures wading through a packed crowd without appropriate social distancing.

Present at the event were Barisan treasurer Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, Johor Umno liaison committee chairman Datuk Seri Hasni Mohammad, MIC president Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran, and more.
The video sparked outrage among netizens for violating social distancing SOPs during a time when Covid-19 cases are once again climbing each day.
In response, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has ordered his ministry to issue compounds the politicians and key leaders present as well as the event organisers.
Saya telah mengarahkan pegawai @KKMPutrajaya untuk keluarkan kompaun kepada DS Hishammuddin, DS Hasni, TS Vigneswaran, pemimpin utama yang hadir & penganjur di bawah Akta 342. @KKMPutrajaya akan terus pantau SOP sempena PRN Johor. https://t.co/ULngJMCZKS— Khairy Jamaluddin 🇲🇾🌺 (@Khairykj) February 13, 2022
These compounds will be issued under Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342).
Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein has issued a formal apology since, admitting that he was in the wrong. He also notes that no one is above the law, and should take this as a lesson.
Saya hadir sebagai tetamu dan saya terima, memang ada kelemahan dalam pematuhan SOP tadi. Tapi, salah tetap salah.No one is above the law, including myself.

“Not Good Enough”
Some netizens, however, feel that the compounds are merely performative, and is not good enough enforcement.
the compound is loose change for them. they have watches more expensive than the compound.— Shamaine Othman 🏴✊🏼 (@shamaineothman) February 13, 2022
Previously, similar government-linked events have also been slapped with compounds when there were no social distancing SOPs implemented.

Some netizens also called them out for double standards, noting that this is hardly the first or the last time that large-scale government-linked events have seen a disregard for SOPs and walked off with a slap on the wrist.
Sudahlah dgn double standard ini. Sepatutny @HishammuddinH2O & Wigneswaran letak jawatan dpd Kjaan atau pecat! Tiada apa2 alasan boleh diterima dpd Menteri2 kanan dlm Kjaaan yg melanggar SOP.

Sarawak-brothers stole and sold fire hydrant for RM25.80

Two brothers were arrested for looting a fire hydrant in Kuching, Sarawak yesterday.
The two men aged 18 and 24-years old respectfully were detained just seven hours after their heist, when footage of them riding around town with a bright red fire hydrant between the two, went viral on social media alerting authorities.

(Image Credit: Facebook)

Apparently, the duo had used a sledgehammer in order to attain their bounty which had been sitting idly by a roadside.

 (Image Credit: Facebook)

The two suspects reportedly had pushed the fire hydrant to a local junkyard for RM25.80

(Image Credit: quick meme)

The owner of the said scrapyard was also arrested.
Its believed that the brothers were under the influence of drugs during their great Sarawakian Job as both men confessed to using methamphetamine.
Since January 2019 a total of 4,928 fire hydrants had been damaged or lost due to vandalism in Sarawak, a frightening number considering fire hydrants play an integral role in the safety of the community.

via GIPHY
Under the Fire Services Act 1988, vandalism and theft of fire hydrants can be met with serious fines or jail time.
One would even get saman some RM100 just for parking or blocking available hydrants in a given area.
So its best to take good care of our fire hydrants, youâ€™d never know when youâ€™d need emâ€™…

Anyone entering the state of Sarawak will be required to undergo 14-days quarantine at designated hotels within the state.

Who said what: Sarawak state Disaster Management Committee chairman Datuk Douglas Uggah Embas said that the mandatory quarantine will take effect from 1 August until 14 August. The committee is also considering stricter Covid-19 measures such as inter-district travel ban, reducing the number of commercial flights and limiting business operating hours but no decision has been made yet.
Why it matters: Tertiary students and teachers have begun returning to campuses in phases this July, largely travelling by flight between East and West Malaysia with special discounts offered by local airlines. The mass interstate travel is expected to continue until students fully return to their respective campuses in October.

PJ Police Officer Helps Old Aunty Pay Her Utility Bills, Praised By The Internet For Kind Gesture

https://www.facebook.com/PolisDaerahPetalingJaya/posts/2900953653337264
Subscribe to our new Telegram channel for the latest updates on COVID-19 and other issues.

Our Malaysian Covid-19 frontline workers have been praised for really going above and beyond their scope of responsibility since the outbreak of the pandemic in the country.
The latest viral case is of a humble police officer who has helped a nice old lady pay her utility bills.
According to a post shared on the Petaling Jaya District Police Facebook page, Corporal Muhammad Azizi Matshah was approached by an elderly woman who asked him to help her pay her utility bills.

Azizi was with his team of law enforcement officers at Pasar Besar Jalan Othman with district police chief Assistant Commissioner Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal to inspect the area which is currently under an enhanced movement control order (EMCO).
Based on a report by Malay Mail, Azizi’s colleague Lance Corporal Farhana Abu Bakar, who was also part of the group visiting the site, said that they were just about to leave and send Nik Ezanee back to the office when the old aunty approached Azizi for his help.

Azizi asked Nik Ezanee for permission to help the elderly woman, and upon obtaining approval, proceeded to pay the bills at a nearby post office.
It seems that this isn’t the first time the team has been approached by aunties for help during the movement control order (MCO) period.
Farhana, who is attached to the district police station’s Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department (JPJKK) shared that another aunty had also approached them for help, recently.
Recently, another ‘auntie’ approached us for help as she said she was chased out by her son from her home. After giving her a meal, we sent her to the hospital for treatment.Lance Corporal Farhana Abu Bakar via Malay Mail

The post has been gaining attention by Malaysians online, who have been praising the police officer for going above and beyond his duty, and the Royal Malaysian Police in general for their service to the country during this difficult time.
It’s no doubt that the incident is a perfect demonstration of Malaysian muhibbah, and the helpful and caring culture that we commonly espouse. Hopefully, we can see more of our people helping each other, especially during these uncertain times.Â

Four Young Malaysians Are Donating Infant Milk & Diapers To Needy Families & They Need Your Help

https://www.facebook.com/asheeq.ali.3/posts/2815523515150896
Subscribe to our new Telegram channel for the latest updates on Covid-19 and other issues.

The economic fallout of the Movement Control Order (MCO) has left many families and children hungry.
Wanting to lend a helping hand to the affected families, four young Malaysians banded together to form â€˜Projek Hadiah Untuk Si Comelâ€™ – an initiative to donate infant milk powder and diapers for marginalised children.
The four young Malaysians are Mahen Rao, Simranjit Kaur, Koh Sze Jie and lawyer-activist Asheeq Ali Seethi Alivi – who began this project in early April after they realised that kids were being deprived of essential needs at this difficult time.
Milk and diapers are two most expensive essentials for kids, and we thought of doing something to help ease the financial burden of Malaysians, and as such, we started this initiative.Asheeq Ali to Malay Mail.

And so, the four good Samaritans began donating infant formula, milk powder and diapers to any child in need from various states.
In an interview with Malay Mail, Asheeq reveals that they do not discriminate who receives their help, donating the essentials to both Malaysians and foreigners, who are mostly migrant workers.
As of 21st April, they’ve successfully helped at least 249 kids from all over Malaysia.
The cost for each child is about RM60 including delivery costs and the group and close to RM14,000 has been spent to help the marginalised children. Due to limited funding, diapers are provided only to special needs children and those aged 3 years and below.

However, the project is in trouble as theyâ€™re starting to run out of funds, with less than RM3,000 left to feed 219 children on their waiting list.
Asheeq told Malay Mail that the group needs RM9,000 to feed the children, some of whom are fed diluted sweetened creamer and sugarless tea or coffee by desperate parents to stave off their hunger.
We do not want any kids to sleep in hunger.Asheeq Ali to Malay Mail.
Asheeq has been actively posting information and distribution updates of the project on his Facebook and local caremongering groups, which has warmed the hearts of many touched by the group’s kindness.
If youâ€™d like to contribute to â€˜Projek Hadiah Untuk Si Comelâ€™, more information can be found here.

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

There won’t be a 20 sen charge for online purchases between RM200 and RM1,000 according to the Communications and Multimedia Ministry.

He also said the funds collected will be used to help the B40 (Bottom 40) group.
With reference to the statement made (by Zahidi) yesterday in Kelantan, the ministry would like to explain that we have NOT had any discussions to implement a 20-sen service charge for users of e-commerce platforms, whenever they purchase anything under RM1,000 and another 20 sen for the following RM1,000.The Communications and Multimedia Ministry via FMT

It was only a few days ago, on May 29, that Malaysians saw what we thought was the highest number of deaths at 98. Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah marked that day as a dark moment for Malaysia.
Meanwhile, Selangor still recorded the highest number of infections with 2,728 cases followed by Kuala Lumpur with 701 cases. Perlis also has the lowest number of cases with only 1 followed by Putrajaya with 7.

110 Arrests Made During MCO, Says IGP

Earlier this morning, the Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador has announced that 110 arrests have been made during the movement control order (MCO).
A majority of the arrests were made for the offence of “obstructing a public officer from discharging duties”.
However, because of the MCO, Malaysia has seen a large drop in crime nationwide. There’s up to 70% less crime in general. However, 30% of all the crime committed during the MCO are for crime such as house break-ins and motorcycle thefts.
There have also been 25 arrests made and 11 charges filed in regards to scams concerning face masks during this time period.
As of right now, the police notes that they have a 92% compliance rate with the MCO, a slight increase from 90% just a few days ago.
The police have also set up a total of 1,295 24-hour roadblocks yesterday, checking over 234,000 cars. Right now, there are 42,000 policemen and around 6,000 Armed Forces officers manning those roadblocks.
The police force will be ready for the extension of the MCO until 14th April 2020, with an addition of at least 18,000 officers from PDRM alone ready to serve.

Malaysia-Singapore Border Not Going To Open Any Time Soon Due To Spike In Cases Here

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

It’s unlikely for the Malaysia-Singapore to reopen any time soon after the Malaysia has recorded a spike in Covid-19 cases recently, including in Johor, the state closest to the island nation, based on reports by Bernama.

In the report, Johor’s Chief Minister Datuk Ir Hasni Mohamad admitted that this is a blow to the state considering its economy is dependent on Singapore.
We really want to open the border as soon as possible because the Johor economy depends on the neighbouring country for employment opportunities and the cross-border economy that is to Johor’s advantage. However, with the increase in COVID-19 cases, our efforts to open the border have been delayedJohor’s Chief Minister Datuk Ir Hasni Mohamad via Bernama
He said that the increase involves several districts in the state and is grateful that the Federal government chose to implement the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) in certain areas instead of the whole state.
Based on the daily stats by the Ministry of Health, Johor recorded 33 new cases yesterday – 28 from existing clusters and 5 from Covid-19 screenings and currently has 220 active cases.
The border was closed after Malaysia went into the Movement Control Order (MCO) to stop the spread of the coronavirus, affecting many Johoreans who commute to Singapore daily for work.

Singapore started to tighten border measures as cases continue to climb here, based on reports from The Star.
As a response, the republic’s Minsitry Of Health said that those who enter the country from 22 November will be required to serve a stay-home notice (SHN) for 14 days.
It applies to travellers who enter Singapore under the Periodic Commuting Agreement (PCA) and returning Singapore-based travellers under the Singapore – Malaysia Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL).

Netizens, Politicians And Artists Express Regret On Halloween Party Raid At RexKL

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

The authorities have been lambasted following a raid at a Halloween private event in RexKL.

According to messages posted on social media, the raid was allegedly conducted by the police and the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (JAWI).
Activist Numan Afifi, on Twitter, claimed that transgenders were detained and brought to the JAWI office for further investigation. However this can’t be verified as JAWI has yet to issue a statement on the matter.
It is understood those detained included drag queens and transgenders.
We are at JAWI office in Kuala Lumpur with human rights defenders and activists in solidarity with the people investigated by the religious department. pic.twitter.com/M7O5LhhM93— Numan Afifi (@NumanAfifi) October 29, 2022
Outgoing Klang MP Charles Santiago said the raid was unnecessary as it was just a party to celebrate Halloween.
He said there are more urgent matters affecting society that deserves attention from the authorities.
We have people who are still reeling from job losses; the ringgit is weak; the economy needs resuscitation. But you use resources to go after people who were at a Halloween party? @IsmailSabri60 (2/4)— Charles Santiago (@mpklang) October 30, 2022
Others, including comedian Jason Leong, said that a party or arts performance in a private space could not be considered a violation of the law.
Leong said it reminded him of the raid at Bangsar’s now-defunct Crackhouse Comedy Club.

Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) central committee member Chong Yee Shan claimed the raid was a discrimination, targetting sexual orientation and gender identity.
Chong, a Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) activist, said she was there to help bail out the participants.
I went there straight away after received message from people who are inside. Waited untill everyone bailed and home. To me, is never a political suicide, is about freedom and fundamental rights  #Shagrilla #RexKL https://t.co/PrOcVJ0sWu— Chong Yee Shan 张玉珊 (@yeeshan_13) October 29, 2022
Being LGBT Has Always Been Tough
At the same time, others said members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community have persistently faced discrimination from authorities, society, and religious groups.
Nevertheless, LGBT supporters have remained defiant in the face of the latest shakedown and would not compromise who they are.
What JAWI did was unlawful, they had no grounds at all to raid the #shagrilla party at REXKL. It was a Halloween weekend for god sake. This was clearly targeted because most of the attendees were LGBTQ+. You will never intimidate us. #tetapbangga PS: Can we actually sue them?— Carmen/Sam  (@sameffrn) October 30, 2022
Instead of backing down in the face of threats and insults, LGBT supporters said they exist and will continue to exist.
Some posted the rainbow flag on social media, symbolising LGBT pride and social movements.
What happened at #REXKL last night was an abhorrent violation of our rights. How do you expect us to live freely when our private spaces are raided and our friends are harassed by the disgusting likes of JAWI and PDRM? We will continue to be #tetapbangga 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈— Dhia Rezki (@DhiaRezki) October 30, 2022

Mâ€™sian teacher advocating for mental health now can’t get a job due to stigma

https://twitter.com/awanjebat/status/1185937196009656320
Mental illness is kinda weird, and by weird we mean how society chooses to perceive and discuss it.
Most people think that they get what mental health is and how someone whoâ€™s struggling with mental illness is going through.
The woke bunch would go on and on about how â€ itâ€™s okay to be anxious or depressedâ€ and how â€œsuicide is a cowardâ€™s way outâ€ and icing it up with the â€œwe know what youâ€™re going throughâ€ and the â€œweâ€™ll always be there for youâ€ talk.
But the sad truth is that people who go through life with mental illnesses and chose to speak about it are often met with stigma and a whole lot of false empathy that has actual real-life consequences.
In a thread posted on Twitter, Safwan Jebat writes about the challenges he had to go through as a person struggling with mental illness and living in an indifferent society.
Previously, Safwan received viral attention for sharing the hardships of living with clinical depression and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD).

Working as a substitute teacher at the time, the TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) graduate became an overnight star for his uniquely imaginative teaching style and how his short time being with his students had saved him from depression.
Safwan was also featured in an episode of TV3â€™s Malaysia Hari Ini, sharing his story and what inspires him to become an educator.

But, since going public about his condition and taking a strong stance as an advocate of mental illness, Safwanâ€™s life has been turned upside down.
He says that ever since word got out of what he was going through, it been even more difficult for him to secure a job.
Speaking to TRP, Safwan says that since his teaching contract ended, he has gone 2 months without work and is struggling to make an income.

Safwan who is currently freelancing as a tutor has 1 student under his care, but due to his condition, he said that some parents were reluctant to have him teaching their kids. And with the school semester coming to an end, things are not really looking up.
Even more disheartening is the fact that Safwan has received many hurtful messages and attacks on social media, as well as being ignored and rejected by the people around him.

Safwan confessed that recently he even came close to the edge and tried to take his own life, but has since been seeking professional help and going through therapy to cope with his condition.
Though going through turbulent times, Safwan does not regret the path that he has chosen and will continue to remain vocal in championing the mental health cause.
Safwan would also not back down from realising his dreams to become a teacher, even if the doors might be closed to him here in Malaysia.
I love teaching so much. Teaching saved me from depression and suicidal thoughts. I donâ€™t want to die with (this) gift that God has given me, which is teaching. I would love to contribute, no matter where, Thailand, Indonesia, Koreaâ€¦Safwan told TRP
Safwanâ€™s story reveals that our society still has a long way to go in the fight for mental health awareness, even with the efforts by the government to create a more informed community who are attentive towards the issue.

Fancy A Singing Pontianak? Catch Melur The Musical Next Week

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

Melur The Musical is an original local musical produced by the award-winning musical theatre company Liver & Lung, founded by Shafeeq Shajahan.

Known for their successful productions like Sepet The Musical and Mahsuri (And Other Peculiar Tales), Liver & Lung’s new production retells the harrowing story of the Pontianak: hell hath no fury like a Malayan woman scorned.

Brief Synopsis
Set in Colonial Malaya during the Malayan Emergency, the musical tells the story of two women, Melur (Tria Aziz) and Cempaka (Mila Mohsin) bound by friendship but separated by conflicting values. They may be close friends but their husbands on the other hand, are nemeses.
Cempaka’s husband, Sir Wilson is the British High Commissioner tasked with keeping Malayan order while Melur’s husband, Si Aman, is a Silat warrior involved in the anti-colonial movement. As both of them are conflicting in nature, Sir Wilson reigns terror on Si Aman and Melur, murdering them both.
After months have passed, Cempaka is blessed with a beautiful mixed raced daughter. Everything seemed fine until Wilson and Cempaka experience the wrath of a supernatural being, Melur, now a scorned Pontianak, haunting the family for revenge.
An original production
According to FMT, the director, writer, and co-composer, Shafeeq Shajahan is always fascinated by Malaysia’s obsession with the supernatural.
“I always think a country’s preference about what makes them scared tells us a lot about what that country is like,” he said.
 To make this production, Shafeeq was inspired by the strong women in his family and in the country who braved difficult times. He also sees the Pontianak as a symbol of proto-feminism.
“Although there are moments that are very scary in the show, the real horror is about how women were treated,” he added.

Doctors At MAEPS Interrogated By Police Till 4AM For ‘Hartal’

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

Doctors stationed at the Covid-19 Quarantine and Low-Risk Treatment Centre (PKRC) at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park (MAEPS) in Selangor were reportedly held and questioned by police (PDRM) for participating in the recent #HartalDoktorKontrak protest.

In a statement released online, Asheeq Ali Sethi Alivi, a lawyer representing the group, revealed that PDRM had taken four hours to interrogate 12 doctors late during the “wee hours” from 11.45 pm Tuesday (27 July) till 3.50 am the following morning while doctors were on-duty.
According to the lawyer, a police report was filed by MAEPS PKRC Director Dr Shahabuddin Ibrahim, claiming that media presence during protests on Monday was not authorised by higher-ups.
Asheeq was also informed that investigations would be continued on Wednesday with PDRM wanting to take statements from those who were absent during last night’s operation.
The lawyer sees the matter as an act of “serious intimidation” performed by the Health Ministry (KKM) and PDRM.

On Tuesday, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba had promised in Parliament that no disciplinary action will be taken against contract doctors who took part in the hartal and explained that it was their right to do so.
The matter was again brought up by Lembah Pantai Member of Parliament (MP) Fahmi Fadzil on Wednesday’s session of the Dewan Rakyat – questioning the Health Minister regarding the interrogation at MAEPS.
I am seeking clarification whether the statement made by the Health Minister yesterday was on behalf of the entire government, or just the Health Ministry, or just a fraction of the government, or for himself? Why is there still action taken against doctors who join the hartal?Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil via Astro Awani.

Similar concerns were brought up by Kuala Selangor MP Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad on social media, hoping that Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s Cabinet of Ministers would perform according to their promises.
Salam & Sejahtera Semua!Stlh YBMK @DrAdhamBaba beri jaminan tidak akan ambil apa2 tindakan, saya harap beliau pastikan PM-8 serta Kabinetnya akan bertindak mengikut janji yg diucapkan.Plsss..the trust-deficit of the PN Govt is already at its lowest ebb, if there’s any left. https://t.co/tut8iF6Epx— Dzulkefly Ahmad (@DrDzul) July 27, 2021
No hartal at MAEPS
Doctors at MAEPS were noted to have cancelled their plans to take part in the nationwide hartal on Monday.
According to the #HartalDocktorKontrak organisers on social media, there were apparently threats of police arrests made against the planned protest.

Doctors under investigation
Dang Wangi Police Chief Mohamad Zainal Abdullah confirmed that an investigation file was opened against medical professionals who participated in protests at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL).
He stated that the probe was to commence under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures within Infected Local Areas) (National Recovery Plan) Regulations 2021.
Yes, we will open an investigation paper since no person is allowed to gather or be involved in any gathering at any premises within any infected local area whether for religious, wedding, sports, recreational, social or cultural purposes without obtaining prior permission from the Director-General of Health as stipulated under the regulation.Dang Wangi Police Chief Mohamad Zainal Abdullah via Malay Mail

Live Life A Thousand Times Better By Making Your Own Luck

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

They say that money can’t buy you happiness, but it’s hard to live young, wild and free when pretty much everything comes with an ever-increasing price tag.

Our food, clothing, and cars are all getting expensive… Heck, it takes at least a month’s worth of man hours for the average Malaysian to even afford the latest iPhone.

And even if you do earn enough money to provide for your preferred #YOLO lifestyle, the pressure of keeping up with those caramel macchiatos and keeping the lights on at the same time can get a lil’ overwhelming, especially when you constantly see your peers and idols posting up pictures and videos of their exotic getaways and fancy things.
Studies have shown that most people, especially youths, can suffer serious anxieties from the fear of missing out (FOMO) on interesting experiences and unique possessions.
This often forces many to spend money and time they don’t necessarily have to keep up with appearances and stay on top of popular culture.

Malaysians Are Experiencing Slower Internet Due To Submarine Cable Fault

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

Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) has announced the detection of a fault on the Asia Submarine Cable Express (ASE) system off Singapore.
TM owns 2 of the 6 fiber pairs, named as Cahaya Malaysia, which links Malaysia to North Asia and the United States.
The submarine cable faults have caused international link outages as well, affecting internet users within the country and region. Most of our regional traffic passes through the affected submarine cable systems since it links Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore.
TM is working to reroute traffic to alternative routes to minimise any disruptions to regular internet users. However, users may experience some degree of service degradation such as slow browsing and high latency accessing content hosted in the United States, North Asia, and Europe.

Rerouting options in Southeast Asia are unfortunately hampered by minor faults and planned maintenance on several other sea submarine cables within the region.
In short, you may need to be more patient with your internet speed during this time.

“They Lied” Replied KKM To Claim Of Malaysian Teens Dying After Covid Vaccine

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

The Health Ministry (KKM) shoots down claims made by a group of activists that five Malaysian teenagers had died after Covid-19 vaccinations.

Videos circulating online shows a group claiming to be in solidarity with the families of the youths, who they allege, died after getting vaccinated and hospitalised from adverse vaccine side effects.
“Don’t gamble with our children’s lives,” said a woman in a clip, asking parents to report such cases to the authorities instead of just broadcasting them on social media.
Yang ni ke pic.twitter.com/ung7zN3LAy— Carl Von Clausewitz 🏴 (@pied_pipper76) September 29, 2021
In response, KKM went straight to work to debunk every single one of their claims.
Pihak KKM memandang serius perkara ini dan pihak KKM juga sedang mendapatkan fakta yang terperinci bagi setiap isu yang dibangkitkan di dalam video tersebut. KKM akan memberikan respon berkenaan perkara ini dalam masa yang terdekat.— Dr. Noor Azmi Ghazali🇲🇾 (@DrNoorAzmi) September 29, 2021
A statement signed by Deputy Health Minister and Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force-Adolescent (CITF-A) Chairman Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali, presented KKM’s evidence against all the claims made by the group.
Claim 1: “Two students from Sekolah Menengah (secondary school) Tasek Damai, Ipoh, died after being given the vaccine and one of our children in Lahad Datu had died after being vaccinated in Sabah.”
KKM investigation:A female 17-year-old Form 5 student from SMK Tasek Damai in Perak with type 1 diabetes and who was dependent on insulin, died on 18 August 2021 after being infected with Covid-19 – before the Covid-19 National Immunisation Program for teenagers (PICK Teen) even began.
Another 17-year-old male student from the same school, who had congenital heart disease was brought into the ICU for a case of bacterial infection and died soon after on 17 September before being vaccinated. The cause of death was determined to be “sepsis with underlying congenital health disease”.
There have been no teen deaths related to Covid-19 vaccinations reported in Lahad Datu, Sabah.
Claim 2: “We show our solidarity to a mother who both her kids are now suffering from AEIF (adverse events following Covid-19 immunization).”
KKM investigation:Two teens, both 16 and 18, were hospitalised in a private institution for having side effects after taking the Comirnaty Covid vaccine.
The 16-year-old have been released from care while the 18-year-old was still under treatment and observation. The National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) has yet to receive reports of the teens’ side effects.
Responding to the matter, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin tweeted that the individual seen speaking in the viral videos, “flat out lied”.

Sentiments online also reveal a majority of Malaysians asking for the authorities to take immediate action towards the group of activists in spreading fake news.
She lied, then will the Gov immediately take action against her and the cohorts? https://t.co/TuWSjhSCes— Daddy_Biggie (@Biggie3Daddy) September 30, 2021
KKM reminds parents to immediately seek medical attention for their kids if they experience side effects such as chest pains, difficulty breathing, swelling and excessive itchiness after Covid-19 vaccination.

PKR Appoints Nurul Izzah As Vice President, Retains Saifuddin Nasution As Sec-Gen

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

PKR has moved to retain Saifuddin Nasution Ismail as its secretary-general for the 2022-2025 session while the party also re-appoints ‘reform princess’ Nurul Izzah Anwar as its vice-president.

This was announced together with a host of other appointments following the first PKR newly elected central leadership council last night, reported The Vibes.
In the recently concluded PKR election, Saifuddin challenged Rafizi Ramli for the deputy presidency post, but lost to the former Pandan MP who garnered 59,678 votes, while Saifuddin obtained 43,010 votes.
Nurul Izzah, who is also the Permatang Pauh MP, stepped down from all of her party posts in 2018. The daughter of PKR President Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was the party’s elected vice-president and the Penang PKR chairman back then.
Also appointed to the vice-president’s posts are Putatan MP Awang Suhaini Sahari to represent Sabah and Sarawak, and a surprising appointment in the form of K. Saraswathy, who is a lawyer and also part of the party’s election committee.
According to the report, Saraswathy’s appointment was made to balance the pro-Rafizi line-up in the party’s top leadership and the gender makeup in the PKR leadership lineup.
Other appointments include Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil as the party’s information chief, Selayang MP William Leong as treasurer and PKR Titiwangsa branch chief Zahir Hassan as chief organising secretary.
Meanwhile, Kapar MP G. Manivannan, Tawau MP Christina Liew, Batu Tiga assemblyman Rodziah Ismail, Sarawak PKR information chief Abun Sui Anyit, and Johor PKR Youth chief R. Yuneswaran were appointed to the PKR central leadership council.
