Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) is being placed
under the spotlight as netizens rain in their opinions on the recent

56 Politicians Have Been Caught For Violating MCO SOPs, Says Home Minister

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

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin in the Dewan Rakyat today revealed that a total of 56 politicians have been detained for violating the SOP of the Movement Control Order (PKP).

According to a report by FMT, out of that number, 22 have already been fined while 25 more cases are still under investigation.
He gave the answer in writing to answer a question from Independent Member of Parliament (Muar) Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
Syed Saddiq has raised questions regarding the number of politicians detected violating SOPs during the PKP.
Eight cases were placed under no further action (NFA) and one politician has already been charged in court.Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin via FMT
Hamzah also mentioned that all the cases of violation of the SOP occurred between 18 March, 2020 to 25 August of this year.
No more ‘kayangan’ privileges – PM
Previous issues relating to dignitaries being treated in a ‘double standard’ has started to spread among Malaysians and the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob wants to change that.
During his time as Senior Minister of Defense, Ismail Sabri had issued a statement that there would be no more preferential treatment to VIPs after this.
Celebrities and politicians should be compounded immediately like other individuals they’re found breaching standard operating procedures (SOPs).Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob

This is to avoid any misunderstanding within society and also to prove that anyone is not immune from legal action if they commit an offense.

Klang Valley CMCO: EXTENDED TWO MORE WEEKS!

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

The Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) for Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Putrajaya has been extended for two more weeks to 9 November.

According to Senior Minister (Defence) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, the CMCO was supposed to end tomorrow on 27 October.
However, an assessment by authorities found that there are still localities across the Klang Valley that are high risk areas for the further transmission of the virus.
These findings have forced the government to extend the CMCO for two more weeks in a bid to stop the spread of the virus.
The standard operating procedures (SOP) for the next two weeks will remain the same.

He was once Marvel Studio’s top choice to play Yon-Rogg opposite Brie Larson in Captain Marvel. However, due to scheduling conflicts with John Wick 3: Parabellum, he had to drop out of the role.
Fortunately for the rest of us, this just means that there’s a high chance he will be in future MCU movies!

Also, Keanu Reeves is a godly legend and this writer would lie in front of a speeding train for him (probably).


You Can Test Yourself For Covid-19 Using Salixium On Monday (19 July)!

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

The first Malaysian made Covid-19 rapid antigen self-testing kit made by MeDKAD Sdn Bhd. will be available to the public starting Monday (18 July).

The Salixium Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Test takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to perform and the result is shown like bands on a pregnancy test.
The Medical Device Authority (MDA) said these self-test kits do not replace the real-time diagnostic function of the RT-PCR (reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction) test, reported The Star.
It checks for the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen. If a pink-purplish band means a positive result and an absence of a band means there are no SARS-CoV-2 antigens detected.
If the self-test kits give a positive result, then it must be a follow up with an RT-PCR test, added Amrahi Buang, the president of MDA.
MySejahtera also has a self-report function, under Helpdesk, in case of a positive result.

Can You Drink A Sunblock? Netizens Raise Safety Concerns Over Beverage Product

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

Recently, there has been a lot of talk on TikTok and Twitter applications about a drinkable sunblock.

In the video, a woman believed to be the product’s founder promotes a drink claimed to be ‘drinkable sunblock’.
It is touted that users no longer need to apply sunscreen if they drink the product.

https://twitter.com/m_iekks/status/1553223976985718785?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1553223976985718785%7Ctwgr%5E8fb2bc3f23b304ea131014b66ea02a9ef2bb6c3a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbeautifulnara.com%2Fjual-gula-ke-sunscreen-netizen-kritik-wanita-jual-drinkable-sunblock-kandungan-gula-sangat-tinggi%2F

The supposed benefits of the product had drawn various responses from netizens who criticized the ‘drinkable sunblock’.
Several doctors were also seen giving their responses about the drink through TikTok.
  @drwanshare DRINKABLE SUNSCREEN….#doktortiktok #dr1share #tiktokguru ♬ original sound  – DR1 SHARE
Despite receiving significant criticism, the woman still tried to ‘teach’ netizens about the product’s benefits by showing the ingredients used.

The Difference Between Sunscreens And Antioxidants
However, some said she might be confused with the antioxidant ingredient, which works more as a ‘whitening product’ instead of a ‘sunblock’.
After consuming the drink, the woman claimed her skin was not ‘sunburned’ and bright as usual.
But netizens said it is not because the product involved is effective as a ‘sunblock’.
so sick of msian founders yang claim bs like oh my produk all natural takde chemicals (whos H2O dk her)!!! a drinkable sunblock? for realll keeee 😭😭😭 pls jangan beli unless your kidneys tu kidney buaya— ᵕ̈ (@nuruIhani) July 29, 2022
Instead, the woman’s skin became brighter because the ingredients were the same as a ‘whitening product’.
In addition, many were also surprised by the sugar content in the drink product.
They said the product will not only not protect the skin from UV rays but will also damage the kidneys.

The product founder said that the product is the result of two years’ research, but consumers remain sceptical.

A New Form Of Skin Protection?
Globally, drinkable sunscreen products have been around for some time.
The idea is that one could protect from the inside out instead of having to coat oneself in a cream that blocks the sun.
Studies have shown that eating or drinking certain compounds, including tomato paste and green tea, can give you some protection from burning.
Some people dah faham where Sunlove Drinkable Sunblock comes from. But most of Malaysians tak faham lagi sebab they are not aware how badly the sun can damage our skin. Kat US numbers of skin cancer patients rising tahu tak and it’s bad.— put | naiskin needs sunlove strange sugar kl (@shoreaskin) July 30, 2022
Some drinkable sunblock products in the market contain antioxidants such as lycopene, found in tomatoes, and polypodium leucotomos, a fern extract, which have some UV protecting effects.
In any case, the expert advice on maintaining good skin has remained the same – wear sunscreen liberally and a hat for added protection.

“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” Is Chris Pine At His Chris Piniest

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

So on Tuesday night, the TRP troop went to the screening of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves—an action comedy flick based on the classic fantasy tabletop role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D).

Now, for those who are unfamiliar with the D&D franchise and have never seen an episode of Stranger Things—just think of it like playing Monopoly, with extra steps.

A D&D game usually consists of four or more players, with one of the players taking the role of a Dungeon Master (DM) or the “banker” who acts as the narrator, and referee, and controls the overall flow of the game. While the rest of the players form a “party” of adventurers tasked with exploring the imaginary world.
Each party member plays a class of characters of their own creation—each with their own unique attributes and abilities ranging from magical Elves to the fire-breathing Dragonborn— and participates in a campaign to accomplish a set of goals.
During a game, the DM would present the players with different tasks, enemies and scenarios, and each player gets to decide what to do, and with a dice roll, determine if their actions and choices were successful or otherwise.
A game can span from just a few hours to decades-long campaigns as players traverse the make-believe realm they’ve created together. And since it first came out in the 70s’, D&D has embedded itself into pop culture and is loved by guys, gals and geeks of all generations.

Now back to the movie…
With a runtime of just over two hours, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves stars Chris Pine as Chris Pine—our lute-playing, thief of a protagonist in the story.
He is accompanied by Michelle Rodriguez who plays a bada*s barbarian (as she does in every movie…) named Holga and is also sort of Chris Pine’s main romantic interest in the movie, but not really.
Long story short, after a life of being an impoverished member of an honourable group of assassins, called Harpers, Chris Pine’s life was changed forever when his wife was murdered by a company of evil magic people known as the Red Wizards—leaving Chris Pine to be a single father to their daughter, Kira.
(Credit: DungeonsandDragonsMovie via Facebook)
Crushed by the loss of the love of his life, Chris Pine stumbles upon Holga who’s been outcast by her people for, reasons… Holga took pity on Chris Pine and became Kira’s surrogate mother, and together they embark on a new life of adventure—forming a band of thieves consisting of Simon the incompetent sorcerer (played by Justice Smith) and Forge the charming conman (played by Hugh Grant).
Enticed by a score that would provide him with a magical rock that could bring his wife back to life, Chris Pine and the party accepted a quest to raid a temple to recover the object before finding themselves double-crossed by the disastrous Sofina (played by Daisy Head) a Red Wizard who originally tasked them on the mission in the first place.
Chris Pine and Holga were, unfortunately, trapped in a magical spell by Sofina and ended up getting captured, but not before charging Forge with the safekeeping of the magical rock and Kira.
After two years of being imprisoned, Chris Pine and Holga managed to escape and made their way back to Kira. But being the conman that he is, Forge, with the help of Sofina, had managed to weasel his way into becoming the Lord of a town called Neverwinter and has poisoned Kira into believing that her father had abandoned her.
(Credit: DungeonsandDragonsMovie via Facebook)
This leads Chris Pine and Holga on a mission to rescue Kira along with the magical rock that’s kept in a magical vault in Forge’s castle, and along the way, they form a new team with their old pal Simon, a shape-shifting druid name Doric (played by Sophia Lillis) who has a distaste for humans, and a socially challenged paladin knight who calls himself Xenk (played by Regé-Jean Page).
Together they embark on a journey to retrieve a magical helmet that would allow them to enter the magic vault, get the magic rock, and grab Kira on their way out.
So how was it?
It was OK… Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves places viewers in a colourful world filled with fantastical creatures, scenic sites and encompasses themes of family, friendship, and the perseverance to overcome failures—with jokes and one-liners thrown in between.
It tells the story of a misguided father trying his best to provide for his family. A big-hearted barbarian struggling with the pain of betrayal. A self-conscious sorcerer learning to believe in themself. A chauvinistic creature learning to trust others. And a band of thieves who discovers that the greatest treasure they could ever have was right in front of them the whole time.
The action scenes and CGI is on par with any big blockbuster film out there, and aside from being a bit too long for my personal taste, the movie was well-paced and included a cool but not too overbearing climactic battle at the end.
(Credit: DungeonsandDragonsMovie via Facebook)
My only nitpicks for the movie are that some of the characters, including the main antagonists of the story, were a little too one-dimensional with unclear motives besides being evil.
The whole movie also had tonnes of one-liners that can get a bit cringy, and they could’ve also included a lot more of those fantastical creatures that the D&D universe is known for.
But the best part of the movie is that it serves as a nice, self-contained story where you don’t need to know anything about D&D, play the game or watch a bunch of sideshows to enjoy. Overall, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a fun-filled film for the whole family.

The movie hits theatres Thursday, and if you’re looking to embark on your own fantastical journey into the world of D&D, come and join the Dungeons & Dragons Tavern Experience taking place at the Sunway Pyramid mall this 15 March till 2 April to participate in some exciting games and a chance to take home exclusive prizes.

Black Panther Dies After Getting Run Over By Car In Seremban

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

The Malay Peninsula is home to the world’s largest population of black panthers. These animals have a unique dark fur coat due to a genetic mutation that causes an overproduction of the dark pigment melanin.

Their black coats give them an advantage in camouflaging in the local rainforests while hunting prey. Sadly, the black panther population in Malaysia are in decline and Malaysia lost one yesterday.
A male black panther weighing 40kg died after getting run over by a car at Kilometer 19 of Jalan Seremban-Simpang Pertang near Bukit Tangga, Negeri Sembilan.
According to reports, a 30-year-old driver and his family were travelling from Seremban towards Kuala Klawang in a Honda Odyssey MPV yesterday afternoon (20 May).
While making a right turn down the hill, the panther suddenly crossed from the right side of the road.

Despite stepping on the brake, there wasn’t enough time to avoid the animal and it was hit.
Videos online showed the panther looked stunned and was injured on its hind legs.
The panther quickly limped towards a lorry on the road before sliding under the vehicle to escape.
According to Malay Mail, the panther reached a nearby drain about four metres away, where it lay down with heavy breaths.
The black panther soon died at the scene. The MPV driver and his family were not hurt in the accident.
Jelebu district police chief DSP Maslan Udin said the panther’s remains have been handed over to the Negeri Sembilan Department of Wildlife Protection and National Parks (Perhilitan) for further action.
Netizens expressed sadness after knowing the black panther didn’t survive the accident.
A netizen suggested that a wildlife bridge similar to the one in Singapore should be built so that wildlife animals could cross roads safely.
Netizens also advised others to be careful while driving in a wildlife-sensitive area. Ultimately, it’s a reminder to all of us not to destroy wildlife habitats.

Little Teresa Teng To Serenade Malaysians In Nearly Sold-Out Concert

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

The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) is bringing an evening of Teresa Teng’s soulful voice and romantic ballads.

Teng’s songs, which resonated with audiences in Malaysia across generations with themes of love, longing, and nostalgia, will come alive once more thanks to Chinese singer Chen Jia.
Chen Jia’s voice is clear, sweet, and hauntingly beautiful, just like the late singer.
Hence, she is also known as Little Teresa Teng.

Chen Jia gained popularity in Taiwan and other parts of Asia, particularly Japan, where she performed for large audiences.
However, it’s worth noting that while Chen Jia is often compared to Teng, she also has her unique style and repertoire of songs.

The special concert on 15 April is in remembrance of Teng’s significant impact on the music industry and fans worldwide.
It will be held at the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas (DFP) in KLCC, and the tickets are selling out fast.
Among the songs for the evening are evergreen hits such as Longing for the Spring Breeze (望春风), The Story of A Small Town (小城故事), So Sweet (甜蜜蜜) and What Do You Have to Say (你怎么说).

A Legendary Singer
Teng was a cultural icon who rose to fame in the 1970s and 1980s and had a large following in many parts of Asia, including Malaysia.
The Taiwanese singer was known for her soulful voice and romantic ballads, which resonated with audiences across generations.
Teng performed in Malaysia several times, including in Kuala Lumpur and Penang.
TERESA TENG Volume 1 – 1982 Cassette Malaysia tape RARE https://t.co/pTOE85ygc6 pic.twitter.com/vvUJC0zCys— Tape Junkies (@TapeJunkies) September 24, 2019
Her concerts were well-received, and she had a large fan base in the country.
Teng died at 42 from an asthma attack in Thailand in 1995.
After she passed away, her music remained popular in Malaysia and worldwide.
Many Malaysians still listen to her songs and appreciate her contributions to the music industry.

AirAsia’s Unlimited Pass For Domestic Travel Extended To June 2021

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

Some good news to those who purchased the AirAsia Unlimited Pass Cuti-Cuti Malaysia as its expiry date has been extended from 31st March 2021 to 30th June 2021.

According to AirAsia, the decision to extend the travel period for the pass was to ensure that customers get the most value of the pass to Cuti-Cuti Malaysia when interstate travel is allowed.
Credit: @airasia/Facebook
Interstate travel is currently not allowed as the entire country – except Sarawak- is under Movement Control Order (MCO) until 4th February.
The RM399 unlimited pass for domestic travel was launched last June just as domestic travel restrictions and interstate travel ban were lifted in light of the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO).
Destinations covered by this pass include Alor Setar, Langkawi, Penang, Ipoh, Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur, Kota Bharu, Kuala Terengganu in Peninsular Malaysia. East Malaysia destinations include Kuching, Miri, Bintulu, Sibu, Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, Tawau and Labuan.

What about the AirAsia X Unlimited Pass for international travel?
As many AirAsia X customers would know by now, international travel at the moment is a faraway dream, so those who purchased the RM499 AirAsia X Unlimited Pass are currently stuck in a limbo.
While the unlimited pass’s travel period was previously extended to 30th June 2021, the low-cost carrier announced in October 2020 that it is unable to process any refunds, credits or moving flights (collectively known as Guests Entitlements) until their debt restructuring process is approved by the courts.
Once the restructuring is successful, the airline will continue on with the credit account and be in a position to extend Guests Entitlements to all eligible guests, including AirAsia X Unlimited Pass holders
According to recent comments on AirAsia’s social media pages, all transactions and operations of D7 (AirAsia X) flights are still on hold until the debt restructuring process is completed.
So, there’s really nothing to do but wait right now.

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

A 45-year-old Malaysian living in Singapore had been confirmed to be the first resident of the country to be infected with monkeypox, according to multiple reports.

This was announced by the Singapore Ministry of Health in a statement issued late yesterday.
The Malaysian man tested positive for monkeypox yesterday (6 July) and is currently receiving treatment and was put in isolation at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) where he is reported to be in stable condition.
The patient first developed lower abdomen skin lesions on 30 June, followed by fatigue and swollen lymph nodes on 2 July. He sought treatment after developing a fever and a sore throat on 4 July.
He, however, was not linked to the imported case of monkeypox that was announced on 21 June.

“Monkeypox is typically a self-limiting illness where patients recover within two to four weeks.
“A small percentage of those infected can fall seriously ill or even die.
“Those particularly vulnerable to complications are young children, pregnant women or immunocompromised individuals,” MOH was quoted by The Straits Times.
The risk of infection to the public however remains low as monkeypox transmission requires close physical or prolonged contact.

[Watch] Immigration Officer Transferred After She Was Caught Scolding A Man At UTC Selangor On Camera

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

The Immigration Department has transferred a female officer that was involved in an altercation with a civilian at UTC Selangor, Anggerik Mall, Shah Alam to another department.

The department’s director-general Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud said that its Integrity Division is currently probing the incident in accordance with the civil servant disciplinary rules and procedures.
“We are looking at the matter seriously, even though preliminary investigation showed there was an element of provocation from the man, but the action taken by the officer was against the department’s ‘Integrity, Professional, Friendly’ slogan.
“Also, the officer, who is a civil servant, should not have shouted and cursed at the man,” Khairul was quoted by the New Straits Times.
The incident which occurred on 19 August, was also caught on camera and the video had since gone viral over social media.
Inside the 26-second video, the female officer can be heard repeatedly telling a man, clad in a red shirt, to get out of the department’s office.
  @xtra_my Kenapa sampai nak maki hamun😢🥺 #fyp #xtramy #kakitangan #kerajaan #imigresen #tontonmy #beritaditiktok ♬ original sound  – XTRA
Khairul however expressed his disappointment with the provocation from public members.
“We have prepared several methods to facilitate people with the passport renewal process including online application and extended operating hours on Saturdays and Sundays.
“As such, we advise them to refer to the department’s social media for the latest updates,” he said.
No excuses
Nevertheless, Khairul said that the department will not tolerate any unprofessional behaviours from its personnel.
“Stern action will also be taken against any party that tries to tarnish the image and credibility of the department.”
Reacting to the incident, several TikTok users criticised the officer’s abrasive attitude towards the member of the public.
However, there are some who urged the public not to pass quick judgment without knowing the full story first.

13 Malaysians Stranded In The Philippines As Vaccination Cert In MySejahtera Not Accepted

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

13 Malaysians were stranded at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport after the group was not allowed to enter the Philippines.

They were denied entry by immigration despite being vaccinated in Malaysia.
According to The Star, a passenger said the digital vaccine certificate in the MySejahtera app was not accepted by the Philippines.
Therefore, the Philippine authorities did not allow the entry of 15 passengers who arrived via flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on Sunday.
Their passports were also confiscated and they would be sent home on Tuesday (14 February).
The passenger claimed the Philippine immigration authorities would accept vaccination in another country such as Singapore.
The Philippines, which opened its borders to fully-vaccinated travelers starting 10 February, would also accept the International Certificate of Vaccination from the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The group, which also comprised 2 foreign nationals, is traveling to the Philippines for business, personal and humanitarian reasons.
In the latest development, the Malaysian Embassy in Manila is assisting the stranded Malaysians.

The incident drew flak from the public with critics alleging that the MySejahtera app could not be trusted.

In the past, the app’s Application Programming Interface (API) was misused to send false emails and text messages to users.
The website’s “Need Help?” function had also been misused to send random spam mails.
Some said they even received prank emails from MySejahtera stating they had tested positive for Covid-19.

The Health Ministry had since improved the app’s security, which is currently under joint management with the National Security Council (MKN).
The app was originally developed on a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) basis by local company KPISoft Sdn Bhd, which has offices globally.
The application was also jointly developed with the National Security Council, KKM, Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (Mampu) and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
The government decided to pay MySejahtera mobile app developers starting from April 2021 onwards.
MySejahtera has been helping the government to track Covid-19 outbreaks.

However, before the incident, the victim managed to untie the safety rope that bound his passenger immediately after landing.
Acting Kota Kinabalu District Police Chief, Supt Kalsom Idris, was quoted by Astro Awani that the accident is still under investigation by the police.
He said the victim’s body had been taken to the Queen Elizabeth I Hospital, and the case is currently classified as sudden death.
What Type Of Sport Is Paragliding?
Paragliding is a type of extreme sport found in the early 1980s by people interested in aerial sports, and it allows one to run off the slopes with free parachutes.
It is generally considered a safe activity, but some risks are involved.
These include injuries from crashes, getting lost or stranded in remote areas, and exposure to bad weather.
Gliders can remain flying as long as there is a lift available.
Using prevailing winds blowing up a slope, a glider can be flown for as long as the wind blows.
Feel The Unique Experience Of Flying
In recent times, paragliding has gained popularity in Sabah, with many netizens sharing their experience on social media.

[JUST IN] All Of Malaysia Now Under MCO, Announces Prime Minister

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

All of Malaysia is now under the Movement Control Order (MCO) as the number of Covid-19 cases here continued to trend upwards.

In a statement announcing the decision, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin pointed out that daily new cases had surpassed 4,000 with 37,396 active cases and the death toll now 1,700 as of 10 May 2021.
“Malaysia is facing a third wave of Covid-19 which could spark a nationwide crisis,” said Muhyiddin in the statement.
He also said that new, more infectious variants, the strain on the capacity of the public health services, and the lack of adherence to the standard operating procedures (SOP) had driven the government to take more drastic measures.
“Data and science continue to show that gatherings which make physical distancing and the presence of people in crowded areas are the main reasons for the spread of Covid-19.
“The Covid-19 chain of infection can only be broken by encouraging people to stay home through tighter movement controls,” he said.
He said a special meeting of the National Security Council (MKN) had decided that the MCO would involve the following:
Inter-district and interstate travel is prohibited except for emergency, health, employment, economic purposes, vaccination appointments and long -distance couples;Prohibiting ALL forms of social gatherings including kenduri (banquets), wedding and engagement ceremonies, prayers for peace, and tahlil, dinner ceremonies, birthday celebrations, as well as official government and private functions. Any form of seminars, conferences, and face-to-face meetings are not permitted. Marriage ceremonies are allowed with the number of attendance and SOPs determined by the state Islamic religious authority for Muslims and the National Registration Department for non-Muslims;Prohibit all sports and recreational activities except individual sports and recreation in open areas such as jogging, cycling, and exercise by practicing physical distancing;All educational institutions are closed. Exceptions are given to students who will sit for international examinations. Childcare centers, nurseries, and kindergartens are allowed to operate in accordance with set SOPs to assist in the work of parents or guardians;The number of people in private vehicles, taxis, and e-hailing is limited to THREE PEOPLE ONLY including the driver. The number of people allowed in the vehicle carrying goods as well as the chain of economic/industrial activities depends on the number allowed in the commercial vehicle registration license. The number of persons allowed in public transport must comply with physical distancing and comply with established SOPs.Dine-in in restaurants and eateries is NOT PERMITTED. Drive-by and take-away food sales are permitted;Employers MUST implement the Work From Home (WFH) policy with the presence of not more than 30 percent of management staff at all times. Public sector WFH is determined by guidelines issued by the Chief Secretary to the Government from time-to-time; andHouse-to-house visits and grave visits during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration are NOT PERMITTED.Aidilfitri prayers in mosques and suraus are allowed with the presence of a congregation not exceeding 50 people for mosques and suraus that can accommodate more than 1,000 worshipers and 20 people for mosques and suraus that can accommodate less than 1,000 worshipers. The same number of congregation limits are applied to the five obligatory daily prayers and Friday prayers.The operation of Non-Muslim Houses of Worship will also be tightened. SOPs for Non-Muslim Houses of Worship are set by the Ministry of Unity;Specific measures being implemented in Sabah, Sarawak, and the Federal Territory of Labuan are continued.
Muhyiddin said the ban on interdistrict and interstate travel as well as the ban on social activities, sports, and education would be implemented from 10 May till 6 June as announced by Senior Minister (Defence) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob on 8 March.
Other bans and instructions would be implemented from 12 May till 7 June.
However, throughout these periods, all economic sectors would be allowed to operate and more detailed SOPs would be published by MKN.
“The government will continue to use HIDE to observe premises and areas which are hotspots for Covid-19 as well as take follow-up measures as decided.
“I hope all the rakyat will continue to be disciplined and follow the SOP to break the chain of Covid-19 infection. The best thing is to stay at home so together we can flatten the Covid-19 infection curve,” said Muhyiddin in the statement.
He pointed out that Malaysians had managed to do just that during the first and second waves but reminded them that this third wave far more aggressive and critical.

Kedahan Caught With Drugs Purchased With BPN Aid

Subscribe to our new Telegram channel for the latest updates on Covid-19 and other stories from around the world.

Now here’s something you should definitely not do with taxpayerâ€™s money.
While many Malaysians are horrified by the prospect of not having enough funds to last them in an economy ravaged by the global Covid-19 pandemic, a Kedah man was arrested by the police for not only violating the Movement Control Order (MCO) but was also caught in possession of drugs and illegal substances.
Supposedly, the 24-year-old suspect had purchased the narcotics using money he received from the governmentâ€™s Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) aid handouts.
According to authorities, the man was detained during a roadblock in Alor Setar just an hour before midnight.
Upon further investigation, the police discovered that the man was carrying some 5 grams of shabu (amphetamines) and a bottle of some classic ketum juice.
Apparently the man also has prior records of drug offenses and had just got out of jail no more than 6 months ago.
Reportedly, the drugs alone were estimated to be worth some RM450.

The BPN aid is given out to eligible Malaysians in the B40 and M40 income group as part of the Prihatin Rakyat Economic Stimulus Package to help alleviate the burdens felt by the public during the nationwide lockdown.
Each individual is entitled to between RM500 to RM800 depending on one’s income bracket, while families and households are given between RM1,000 to RM1,600.
Meanwhile, the state of Darul Aman wasn’t short in its share of delinquent individuals and MCO transgressors.

Along with the alleged addict, 13 other individuals also were detained for a number of reasons from trying to run over police barricades and jacking motorcycles, to simply being out when theyâ€™re not supposed to during the quarantine period.
Though we could imagine how outraged Malaysians might be by this drug-fueled news, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has already classified substance abuse as a legit public health issue and nations around the globe, including Malaysia, have been making efforts to address it as such, instead of treating the problem as a threat to national security.
Previously, the Pakatan Harapan government had planned to decriminalize drug possession for personal use before the end of its first term, before they were taken over by the Perikatan Nasional coalition.

[Watch] Cuteness Overload! Parents Wore School Uniforms To Motivate Son On First Day Of School

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

The first day in a new school can be daunting for young children and parents, especially for those starting Standard 1 today (20 March).

Due to this, some parents have employed ingenious ways to get their children ready for the “big” school.
Parents Mohd Fadzil Abu Naim, 41, and Nurul Aini Mohd Olwi, 41, were praised for being “fun” parents on their son’s Standard 1 orientation day last Saturday.
Based on a video uploaded by Kosmo, both of them wore white school uniforms similar to their son.
It’s believed that they made the effort to dress up to make the first day of school exciting and fun for their son to motivate him to go to school.
The video also showed a scene all teachers have seen before: parents fussing over their children and adjusting the straps of their backpacks.

Netizens loved that the parents went all-out to help make the transition to primary school fun for their son.
They loved how supportive the parents were and said Mohd Fadzil and Nurul Aini were totally Parents of the Year.
However, this sweet gesture also drew negative comments. A netizen said this level of affection can only be done in single-child families while another claimed that the child was too pampered.
Regardless, the young boy in the video will remember his first day of school with his parents for many years to come.
It has also inspired others to plan to do the same for their children in the future.

Nasi Lemak Loses Top Spot As Indonesian Chicken Porridge Voted The Better Food In South East Asia

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

The Chinese have a saying that “one mountain is higher than another mountain.”

It means if you think you are good, there’s always somebody else who’s better.
The aromatic and mouthwatering nasi lemak may be Malaysians’ all-time favourite food, but it’s only ‘so-so’ in South East Asia.
A poll conducted by the food-based editorial page Taste Atlas on Facebook has ranked chicken porridge from Indonesia, as well as lumpiang (spring rolls) and tortang along (eggplant omelette) from the Philippines, the best food in terms of taste and delicacy.
The chicken porridge collected 4.7 points and ranked third best food in Southeast Asia.
On the other hand, nasi lemak is just ‘OK’ with a score of 3.9.

Also in the same category with nasi lemak are chilli crab from Singapore and banh xeo (rice pancake) from Vietnam.
The results of the survey have left Malaysians dissatisfied.
After all, no one would want to see their culinary heritage being dismissed by others especially when the food is really fantastic.

Netizens said that Taste Atlas has most likely not tasted the real nasi lemak.
They also questioned the way the poll was conducted.
Nevertheless, Malaysians said nasi lemak will always have a special place in their hearts.
Others pointed out that another Malaysian dish, the rendang, is nowhere in the poll.

Racial vacancy notice by retail outlet in Klang mall upsets netizens

It’s no secret that getting a job nowadays is HARD.
Not only do you need the qualifications of Einstein, you also need to keep your salary expectations low and PRAY that the employer also likes you.
(Credit: @_vicksolo/Twitter)
Unfortunately, there’s another dark factor that pops its ugly head every now and again.
Discrimination.

Sadly, Shambavi Shankar came face to face with this horrible reality when taking part in Malaysia’s number one national pastime: going to the mall.
As she was strolling around a Klang mall, she came across this vacancy notice:

The notice, specifically requesting for Malay and Chinese applicants only, was plastered on the glass display window of fashion outlet, Kitschen, at their Bukit Tinggi branch.

As a regular customer of the brand, an upset Shambavi walked in and asked for an explanation for the discriminatory notice, to which the staff replied:
Isn’t it better to inform the Indians on a notice outside rather than wasting their time, walking inside and applying.via Shambavi Shankar/Facebook. via Shambavi Shankar/Facebook.
Sharing the incident on Facebook, her post garnered much attention with netizens feeling shocked and upset.

However, all hope is not lost as Kitschen has apologised for the incident on their Facebook page and on Shambavi’s post.

In the comments of their apology post, Kitschen further explained that the vacancy posting was put up without the management’s approval.

They also stated that they are investigating the matter and reviewing the SOP to prevent this from ever happening again.

While it’s unfortunate that such discrimination still exists in 2019, we do commend the retailer for admitting their mistake and making a swift apology.
Let’s hope that this never happens again.
