“Fake News!” BERNAMA Lodges Police Report Over Viral “Private Parts” Post

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

The Malaysian National News Agency (BERNAMA) lodged a police report over the wide circulation of a short news update it made on social media that got a little lost in translation.

BERNAMA TV’s official Facebook account had released a short update regarding the standard operating procedure (SOP) and work-from-home (WFH) guidelines.
The post had information on the enforcement of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) in the Klang Valley and Sabah beginning October 22, 2020.
A version of the report which had been translated to Bahasa Malaysia via Facebook’s auto-translation function was screenshot and shared on social media, arguably for laughs.
Supposedly, the original post, which has since been deleted, was badly mistranslated to include the word “private parts” in the message.
Screenshot of the supposed message shared on social media and messaging apps.(WhatsApp)
BERNAMA later released a statement declaring that the mistranslated post had been “fake news” and stated that it was an attempt to discredit the government news agency as the viral image had borne its official logo.
The agency also said that it plays a critical role in disseminating accurate information to the public.

Legal actions?
Malaysian authorities had announced that legal action can be taken against fake or parody news accounts with a brand or logo that resembles a well-known body or organisation or dignitaries.

Malaysia Must Get Rid of Dubious Honour To Recover Economically

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

Malaysia is said to be the global leader in the illegal cigarettes market, accounting for more than half of the global sales.

Speaking on the issue of the tobacco black market in Malaysia at the recent launch of the World Bank Malaysia’s Aiming High: Navigation the Next Stage of Malaysia’s Development report, Finance Ministry’s Deputy Secretary-General (Policy) Zakiah Jaafar stated that the revenue loss due to this illegal trade is estimated to be as high as RM5 billion.
Locally, 64.5% of total cigarettes sold in the country today are illegal cigarettes; translating to roughly 12 billion sticks of contraband cigarettes sold in a year.

This issue is part of Malaysia’s shadow economy, which Finance Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz pointed out has a revenue loss estimated to be as high as 21% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or around RM300 billion annually.
What’s being done to fix it
In response to this growing issue, the government announced steps to address the illegal cigarette trade during the tabling of Budget 2021, including a multi task force agency, restricting transshipment of cigarettes and freezing the issuance of import licenses for cigarettes.
The Budget 2021 introduced a few administrative and tax measures to plug this leakage and restrain the black market.Zakiah Jaafar, Deputy Secretary-General (Policy), Finance Ministry.

As part of the medium-term revenue strategy, Zakiah said the government also was seeking to improve its tax framework, reduce leakages and broaden revenue base while reducing its dependency on commodities.
One of the initiatives will include tapping into the informal sector, curtailing under the reporting and declaring policies, reducing tax leakage and enhancing tax administration through more effective data management and integration with relevant agencies.

Meanwhile from the retail front,Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) SMEs committee chairman, Koong Lin Loong highlighted that there is also a need for the authorities to tackle the “shadow economy”, particularly the sales of illicit or smuggled goods such as illegal cigarettes.
The measures announced in Budget 2021 aimed at curtailing the illegal cigarettes trade is good, he told Focus Malaysia, but it will not have a direct positive impact towards the retail industry.
Legitimate businesses play by the rules and have incurred a high cost for doing so. Unfortunately, illegal businesses do not play by the rules, so they can sell their illicit and smuggled goods at cheaper prices, making it difficult for real businesses to compete. This is because consumers will go for illegal products that are cheaper rather than the legal products that are expensive.Koong Lin Loong, SMEs Committee Chairman of Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM).

While enforcement is important, Koong emphasised that the government also needs to close loopholes and clear up any “grey areas” to curb illicit trade to safeguard retail sector businesses.

Malaysians never cease to amaze us with their pure grit and determination, even when facing insurmountable odds.

For best friends Mei Ng and Aimee Soon, they found each other in a hopeless place- while undergoing chemotherapy to battle breast cancer, all while pregnant.

While living with cancer, we won’t even look in the mirror for an extra second.We had no confidence, only low self-esteem and even self-hatred for becoming this hideous.Mei Ng
They both wanted to return to their pre-cancer selves, to dress up and feel beautiful, which is why they founded a fashion line in 2017: Wonder Me.
Because of this, Mei Ng and Aimee Soon hopes that their outfits help to channel positivity and confidence to women fighting their own battles.
An outfit is like a second skin to women, we know this better than anyone.Mei Ng
Their pieces are trendy, feminine, and colourful; particularly the new 2021 Chinese New Year Collection, which takes the traditional cheongsam design and adds festive flair to it with floral motifs and vibrant checked patterns, perfect for reflecting optimism and positivity for the new year.

Wonder Me keeps their supply chain fully in-house and employs skilled retirees to hand-sew their designs, resulting in quality pieces at afforable prices.
Additionally, because of the hand-sewn nature of the designs, they offer customized alternations as well to make the clothes perfect.
Every article of Wonder Me comes with a little wish of ours: we hope they will become your bestie who knows you the best, keeping you company, and adding colours to your everyday life.Mei Ng
They have two physical outlets in Bangsar Shopping Centre and Sri Petaling, as well as an online presence on their website, Facebook, or Instagram.
Looking back at their journey full of twists and turns, Mei and Aimee can’t help but to marvel at the miracles and blessings they’ve had. If anything, their struggles with cancer have made them determined to urge all women facing hardships to remember to love themselves and to never give up.
Not only do we want to become a better person, to live with love and confidence; we also hope to inspire women to live a meaningful and valuable life.Mei Ng

13YO Girl Raped In Malacca By An Older Man And Dumped 2 Days Later

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

A 13-year-old girl in Klang was enticed by a man thrice her age and raped in Malacca on Thursday.

The Sun reported that the student attended school’s afternoon session on Thursday and got into a car with the man instead of returning home.
Her worried parents checked with the school bus driver when she failed to come home and were told she didn’t get on the bus.
They went to the school and were shocked when their daughter’s classmates told them she got into a car with a male stranger at about 6.40pm. The parents quickly lodged a missing person report at the police station.
The victim and suspect met on an app
Based on investigations, Klang Utara police chief ACP Cha Hoong Fong said the girl befriended the 39-year-old man on a social and dating app known as Zaky.
They made plans to meet up two days before the whole incident took place. The victim and the suspect planned to flee to Malacca.
The suspect drove her to a shophouse in Malacca and raped her there on Thursday evening. The following day around 11.30pm, the victim requested to be sent to Sentul in Kuala Lumpur.
The victim then called her friend from Sentul and spent the night with her. She contacted her classmate on Saturday and sought her help to return home.
Right after she made the call, the police were alerted and rescued the victim before reuniting her with the family.
The police managed to track down and arrest the suspect at 9.30pm in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
The suspect is remanded for four days and investigated under Section 363 and Section 376 of the Penal Code for abducting a person from lawful guardianship and statutory rape, respectively.
The police advised parents to keep watch of their children’s movements, especially if they’re teenagers. Parents are advised to monitor their child’s usage of electronic devices such as smartphones and computers.

Mom Horrified Another Woman Breastfed Her Child Without Consent In Surau

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

You may have heard of people getting too close for comfort when it comes to children, but this mother had the unfortunate experience of dealing with someone who allegedly breastfed her child without her consent.

Recently, TikTok user @afieqahhasanah posted an explanation video on the app with the caption:

Mak mana je yang boleh terima 😌 tak tahu lah nak cakap macam mana . doakan saya boleh lupakan semua ni .
@afieqahhasanah via TikTok

https://www.tiktok.com/@afieqahhasanah/video/7231141808443591943

In the video, she explained that she seemed to have begun to lose trust in people after a person close to her allegedly breastfed her crying child in a mosque.

I would have never expected this to happen as this person is very close to me. She was breastfeeding my child despite me having done so earlier. Her excuse for her actions was that my child was crying for milk.
@afieqahhasanah via TikTok
She added that this event has caused her to feel uncomfortable.

Which mother will be able to accept another person breastfeeding their child when they themselves are still lactating? My child also drinks a combination of both breastmilk as well as formula milk, so this shouldn’t have even happened to begin with.
@afieqahhasanah via TikTok
She noted that a sane person would instead call the child’s mother to breastfeed the crying baby instead of doing it themselves which is a violation of personal space and consent.
Afieqah also added that the person had allegedly done this twice, once caught by her mother and then her.

She’s done this twice. Once she got caught by me and then the next by my mother.
@afieqahhasanah via TikTok
She added that if the woman had fed her child with formula milk, it wouldn’t have been an issue but giving her breast to the child is what makes her extremely uncomfortable with the situation.

There are many factors that come into play here, one of them being hygiene, health and Islamic laws. I really don’t know what to say because I don’t know what she was thinking at the time but I will never forgive her.

[Watch] Customer Finds A Leech Swimming Happily In His Maggi Soup

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

Bet you’ve never expected Maggi Sup to have a chewy aftertaste do you?

Recently, a customer shared a gruesome video on his TikTok account (@Meayrolir), showing what appears to be a leech swimming frantically to get out of his bowl of Maggi Soup.
The video went viral with 639.6K views and 5.1K likes at the time of writing.
  @_ichii21 Magii sup pacat 😱 #pacat #maggipacat ♬ suara asli  – INDOZONE
The guy was surprised to find a leech in there after finishing his Maggi meal.
You can literally see the fat leech moving its body up and down in the soup, especially after he picked it up with the fork. 🤢
However, the TikTok account owner did not reveal the location of the stall or restaurant, not wanting to blame anyone.
Some say that the leech came from Kangkung
A lot of people were too stunned to speak, watching that video.
Some also suggested that the leech came from Kangkung, probably put in the dish. We can surely be traumatised to eat Maggi Soup or Kangkung after this.
Netizens also expressed their fears of eating Maggi Sup, Mee Sup or even Kangkung altogether.

How is it still alive?
It is said that the leech could be hiding in the hollow tube stems of the Kangkung and is invisible to the eye before cooking.
That is why some people advise slicing open the Kangkung stems before cooking, just to check if there’s a small thin leech in there.

It’s a new menu, maybe?
Using this as an advantage, some netizens joked sarcastically about the situation.

“Don’t mind him. He’s just chilling in the hot tub”

“That’s so sweet of the seller, giving you some extra protein.”

“Maggi with leeches are supposedly beneficial to beauty, okay.”

What happens if we accidentally eat a leech?
It’s a good thing that he didn’t accidentally eat the leech. While they do have some benefits if used externally on skins but consuming them is a whole different story.
Although it’s not that common, there are some cases worldwide that record these kinds of accidental incidents.
Three boys from different countries accidentally ingested a leech that they caught while drinking spring/stream water and swimming in lakes. The leech didn’t go in their stomachs though, they hung tightly to the kids’ throats, causing them to have shortness of breath, bloody saliva with cough and a sore throat. Luckily, they all survived after the leeches were removed surgically.

One popular case reported a fatality but that was with a garden slug, not a leech. The patient died after 8 years of being a quadriplegic and he was also in a coma for 420 days, right after contracting meningitis – caused by rat lungworm. The patient accepted a dare from his friends at a party to eat a raw garden slug, crawling on the ground at a party when they were 19.
You can make a report
If you find the stall owner or restaurant to not follow certain hygiene and health codes (if you see rats or cockroaches scurrying around in the kitchen), you can make a report to the State Health Department (JKN).
The report can be made online through this link or it can also be made face-to-face with an officer at any District Health Office.

Meanwhile, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar will hold a special press conference this afternoon to announce the latest development status of the Omicron variant.
Despite the rising numbers, there is still hope that the situation might not be as bad as last year.
Accordingly, most of the cases this time around are stages 1 and 2 respectively due to Malaysia’s high vaccination rate.

Mental Health Assistance Is As Critical As Financial Aid, According To The Latest Statistics

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

Since the start of MCO 3.0 a little over a month ago on 1 June, the Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) Ministry has received an alarming 11,802 phone calls through their Talian Kasih helpline.

KPWKM’s minister Datuk Seri Rina Harun told Berita Harian that the concerning statistics shows that people require access to mental health assistance just as much as they need financial aid.
A breakdown of the 11,802 calls for help made from 1 June
203 related to child abuse463 domestic violence1,913 inquiries about aid575 counselling services
Rina goes on to say that the lack of aid or access to psycho-social support can bring about mental issues, even more so in vulnerable families with weak support systems.
What is being done?
KPWKM through the Social Welfare Department (JKM), has issued RM2.2 billion in monthly assistance for 2021, which is RM400 million more than RM1.8 billion stipulated last month.
In addition to public initiatives, Rina also revealed the ministry’s early discussions with e-hailing platform Grab Malaysia, to transport vulnerable groups like OKU (persons with disabilities) to their Covid-19 vaccination appointments.
Under the PEMULIH Recovery Plan, the government is also allocating RM15 million to non-governmental organisations or NGOs to assist in addressing social issues such as mental health.

The lack of mental health is a leading cause of suicide
The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) recorded 631 suicide cases in 2020 and 468 cases in a 5-month period from January to May 2021.
Despite global statistics that show men are more likely to commit suicide than women, Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director, Datuk Seri Abd Jalil Hassan said women made up most of the casualties in Malaysia with 1,427 reported in 2019 to May 2021 while men only 281.
Abd Jalil said the three main causes of suicide were the victims facing family problems, emotional and financial stress.

M’sian Sci-Fi Film ‘Imaginur’ To Compete In New York Asian Film Festival 2022

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

Award-winning Malaysian filmmaker Nik Amir Mustapha’s latest work, Imaginur, is one of eight Asian films selected to compete for the Uncaged Award for Best Feature Film at the New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF) 2022 in the US next month.

NYAFF is an annual event showcasing the best and boldest in Asian cinema ranging from explosive blockbusters to eccentric arthouse films.
Imaginur will compete against seven other films in the same category namely, #LookAtMe (Singapore), Angry Son (Japan), One And Four (China), Perhaps Love (South Korea), Reclaim (Taiwan), The Sales Girl (Mongolia) and Fast & Feel Love (Thailand).
The science fiction film, Imaginur, which has yet to be screened in Malaysia, stars Beto Kusyairy and Diana Danielle.
The story is about a man’s life that’s disrupted by strange events when he takes his father to the hospital for a check-up.

We couldn’t be more proud and happy that #blackmagicdesign Ursa Broadcast G2 was used to shoot #Imaginur. Rooting for everyone who made this movie happen. Congratulations!!! 💚 🎊 https://t.co/Df2sEtCymu pic.twitter.com/JGH5skBCtz— 3dots | Film Gear Distributor | Service (@3dotsmy) July 8, 2022
New Straits Times reported that the film is set to make its world premiere at the Walter Reade Theater, Film at Lincoln Center in New York on 23 July.
Nik Amir said he didn’t expect the film produced by his company Lumatic Films to make it into the NYAFF 2022 list, let alone compete for Best Feature Film.
I realise that there’s going to be pretty stiff competition to win. However, just being listed together with other great films is already enough to make us really happy. If Imaginur is chosen as the winner, then we’d certainly feel even more blessed. Whatever the case, we are hoping for the best since we are the sole representative from Malaysia to NYAFF 2022.Filmmaker Nik Amir
The National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS) congratulated Nik Amir for the success of Imaginur for being selected to compete at the event.

According to Berita Harian, Nik Amir has not set a date to show the film in Malaysian cinemas because they have yet to do the film promotions locally.
They’re still looking for the right time to release the film to the Malaysian audience.
The team might not be able to attend NYAFF 2022
Despite the good news, Nik Amir and his team might not be able to attend the festival due to the lack of budget.
They’re in the midst of raising funds to travel to the US to attend NYAFF 2022. Even if they do get the funds, they still need to apply for visas and they’re unsure if they can get the visas done in time.

Not Enough Time: Netizens Say Shops & Restaurants Under MCO Close Too Early

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

Malaysians are disgruntled over the standard operating procedures (SOP) enforced in Movement Control Order (MCO) areas across the country which limit the operating hours of restaurants, sundry shops, laundromats and other essential services, some to as early as 8pm.

Taking to social media, netizens voice concern over the short amount of time that is given for them to get food and supplies or run errands before stores close.
Stupid rules in MCO 2.0 that needs to change.1. Restaurants limited to 8pm2. Coin laundry bannedLike… why?— ファズリ 🔞 (@tenoq) January 13, 2021
MCO 2.0Is there a scientific explanation behind the 8pm limit for eateries to sell take-away food & beverages?No dine-in? Sure. Queue outside premises? Fine.But limiting to 8pm only makes more people crowding to buy dinner due to the time constraint.Please rethink strategy— Hariz MKini (@HarizMohd_MKini) January 15, 2021
I live in an apartment without a balcony. So I can’t dry my clothes at home so I need to go to a self service laundry to dry it. NOW HOW AM I GONNA WASH MY CLOTHES DURING MCO? I’M NOT THAT RICH TO BUY A FREAKING DRYER https://t.co/sYqHTeBhrd— Puan Sarah (@sarahnira_) January 14, 2021
Others also shared the opinion that the time limit was too restrictive considering that most people only get off work late in the evenings.
Seriously, restaurants (pickup&delivery) and groceries should be allowed to operate until 9/10pm. I just went out to get my food after work and memang crammed with people sbb kedai tutup at 8pm. What’s the point of MCO when sesak kat kedai during peak hours?— 🌸 (@stayathometira) January 15, 2021
Habis kerja pukul 8. Keluar office, semua dah tutup. Kosong. 😭 pic.twitter.com/2ahbsAuu5O— Yang Sejuk (@she_dayah) January 15, 2021
Even politicians took to cyberspace and raised concerns for the people who work night shifts and are unable to feed themselves because there was nowhere for them to get food as well as for the business operators and delivery service riders who are unable to make a living because of the closure.
Government needs to allow people to put food on the table:1. open all restaurants / food stalls – morning till 12am. Restrict to takeaways.2. Allow 24 hours restaurants to open for home deliveries3. Free Test for all workers & allow industries to openPls add on.— Maria Chin Abdullah (@mariachin) January 16, 2021
Kalau tak boleh dine in, kita faham. Tapi bagilah peluang orang bungkus makanan sampai pukul 10pm (paling kurang).

[WATCH] Jalan Batang Kali-Genting To Close For A Year For Repair Works

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

The route along Jalan Batang Kali-Genting in Hulu Selangor will be closed for about a year before it can be reopened for public use after the deadly landslide last Friday (16 December 2022).

The Batang Kali landslide at Father’s Organic Farm campsite in Gohtong Jaya had claimed 24 lives, including the lives of children, with a search still underway for the missing bodies.

According to New Straits Times, Works Ministry secretary-general, Datuk Wan Ahmad Uzir Wan Sulaiman, said it’ll take time to repair the affected roads and slopes.
Although the road is fine, we cannot risk opening it to the public until a new slope is made. This could take around a year.Works Ministry secretary-general, Datuk Wan Ahmad Uzir Wan Sulaiman
In the meantime, road users are advised to use alternative routes which will be announced by the Public Works Department (JKR) soon.
The ministry will also be conducting an in-depth study on slope management at the site once the ongoing search and rescue mission (SAR) concludes.

Ever since the Batang Kali landslide was reported, there had been rumours regarding the cause of the landslide.
Wan Ahmad Uzir said the incident wasn’t necessarily caused by road works or illegal diversion of water sources from the campsite.
He said natural causes may have been responsible since underground water flow was detected.
Currently, the ministry is in the process of identifying 1,045 slopes along federal roads which are at a high risk of collapse.
He added that developments are not allowed in these high-risk or red-zone areas.
Based on JKR’s statement dated 18 December, the ministry has implemented a few short-term precautionary measures such as covering the affected slopes with a tarpaulin sheet and channelling the water flow accordingly to prevent the water from flowing into the landslide areas.
The ministry has also installed tilt sensors to monitor the soil movements at the location.

The 10 Candidates Contesting For The Hot Seat In Batu

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

The nomination period for the 15th General Election (GE15) has concluded, and among the seats to watch is Batu.

READ MORE: GE15: What’s been happening so far?
The Election Commission (EC) has confirmed that 10 candidates will battle for the seat on 19 November, the day of the general election.
The 10 candidates are:
Siti Kasim – IndependentTian Chua – IndependentPrabakaran Parameswaran – Pakatan HarapanZulkifli Fattah – Parti Rakyat MalaysiaToo Gao Lan – IndependentWan Azliana – Parti Pejuang TanahairUstaz Azhar Yahya – Perikatan NasionalNathan Batu – Parti Warisan SabahA. Kohilan Pillay – Barisan NasionalNur Fatihah Syazwana @ Cleo – Independent
GE15 is on 19 November. Image: TRP File.
What have the candidates said so far?
Lawyer and activist Siti Kasim was one of the earliest candidates to arrive at the nomination centre before it opened at 8am.
According to New Straits Times, Siti Kasim has pledged to stop the abuse of religion by politicians to ‘legitimise’ their wrongdoings.
Stemming from this issue, she wants to separate religion from politics and education.
Tian Chua decided to field as an independent candidate after getting sidelined by Pakatan Keadilan Rakyat.
He failed to defend his seat in GE14 when he was disqualified on nomination day when he was fined RM2,000 for insulting the modesty of a police officer during a rally.
Some people didn’t welcome his decision to contest as an independent candidate, with party president Anwar Ibrahim saying any PKR member contesting as an independent candidate will be sacked.
According to Free Malaysia Today, Tian Chua said he was ready to face any disciplinary action from the party.
This is a party I have a strong emotional attachment to. I love and support all PKR leaders despite the internal differences that we have. My part here (as an independent candidate) is to ensure we do not risk losing Batu to PKR’s opponents.Tian Chua
PKR has instead put forward Prabakaran Parameswaran as its candidate. Previously, he won the seat as an independent in GE14 before joining PKR.
Zulkifli Fattah of Parti Rakyat Malaysia said his four years of experience working in the Batu parliament meant he understood the problems faced by the constituents there and could better serve them.

Lawyer and activist Wan Azliana of Pejuang said she would champion the rights of women and children if she is nominated for the seat.

A. Kohilan Pillay of Barisan Nasional previously said he was confident he could resolve a boycott by MCA members who were unhappy with his candidacy in Batu, Malay Mail reported.
But as what I’ve said earlier, I’ll use the diplomatic way in handling this matter. I will sit down and sort it out. As a former deputy foreign minister, I have experience in handling all diplomatic issues between countries and this is not a big issue for me.A. Kohilan Pillay
Independent candidates don’t usually win, but their presence is sometimes an assuring indicator that the rakyat will stand up for themselves when needed.
Nur Fatihah Syazwana, also known as the influencer Cleopatra, contending for the seat seems like an outlier, but here we are.
According to Berita Harian, Cleopatra said she wasn’t afraid to go against the big names for the Batu seat and hoped that she would get support from the people in Batu and Sentul.

Meet 3 New Furry Employees On The LRT, Whose Only Job Is To Be Cute Cats

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

Rapid KL took to Facebook to introduce their latest #PurrfectEmployees– three kitties who have taken it upon themselves to entertain and accompany public transportation riders.

The stray kitties are peacefully “employed” at their respective train stations and have become somewhat local celebrities, as regular riders will opt to give them treats and snacks.
Si Kacak — LRT Dato’ Keramat

Si Kacak is known for his grumpy exterior and picky tastes. According to passengers, he chooses to eat only salmon kibbles and will sleep on the ticketing gates.
Apparently a bit of a gangster, this tabby cat will stubbornly claim his spot on the gates and have everyone else go around him.
Zorro — LRT Taman Melati

Zorro is named for his black-and-white markings that look like a mask over his face, after the legendary fictional character.
He is often keeping a close eye on people walking through the station like a good security cat, though apparently he can be bribed with food– with a particular penchant for the roti boy stall.
Si Cantik — LRT Wangsa Maju

This pretty girl is friendly with passengers and will do a good job of coming over to greet them. She enjoys dressing up and can often be seen wearing some sort of accessory that adds to her cuteness.

Malaysian Man Runs Away To The Jungle Due To Work Stress, Calls For Rescue 6 Days Later

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

A man who was stressed at work made a rash decision to live in the jungle earlier this month.

Mohamad Suhairy Mohamed (pic), 41, took a bus from Kuala Lumpur to Terminal Amanjaya in Ipoh, Perak, on 3 June.
Once there, he made his way into the jungle from a TNB main substation (PPU TNB) near the National Audit Department and lived there for a few days.
However, his plan to live off the grid didn’t last long. About six days later, on 9 June, Suhairy called the Perak Fire and Rescue Department around 11.44pm.
He was lost and hungry in the jungle, so he called 999 on his phone to be rescued.
Perak Fire and Rescue Department Assistant Director Sabarodzi Nor Ahmad said the victim had no internet connection on his phone.
Sabaradzi said the operation commander kept in contact with the victim. They managed to locate him around 2.46am on 10 June after the victim said he could hear the machines from the fire department close by.
The victim was then handed over to the police for further action.

Malaysians Sympathize With Thai Schoolgirl Who Struggles With Her Bag, Says It’s Happening Here Too

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

Heavy school bags carried by children have been a hot topic of discussion for years but there are not many lasting solutions.

We know that the weight of the bag on the shoulders and back are bad for posture. And yet, we still see school children lugging these huge bags to school.
Recently, a viral video showed a child in Thailand struggling to lift a school bag. Standing at the side of the road, the child tried over and over to lift the heavy bag onto her shoulder.
The video received 25k shares and 10k likes on Facebook.

At one point, she dropped the bag in frustration and stretched her arms to the side before trying to carry her bag again.
When she nearly managed to place the straps on her shoulders, the weight of the bag pulled her back and she fell on the ground again.
She finally had to call it quits and dragged her bag with her hand while she walked down the street.
Luckily, a man across the street saw her predicament and helped her lift her bag while she put her arms through the shoulder straps of the bag.
Although that helped her to carry the heavy bag, she had to walk and bend forward in an angle in order to support the extra weight without falling backwards.
Netizens share their own experience
Although the girl was likely a student in Thailand based on her school uniform, the video went viral here as Malaysians related their own experiences with heavy school bags.

Netizens voiced their disappointments and felt deeply for the child after watching her struggle with the bag.
They also shared their own experience with school children and their heavy backpacks.
A housemaid shared how she secretly helped to carry the bags of two children to school on a bicycle while they walk beside her.

Some of them also shared a tip to help lighten the children’s burden.
In some schools, they allowed students to keep their textbooks in baskets or large storage boxes in school.

A few of them suggested schools reduce the number of exercise books needed. Often, most of the extra books are rarely used.

What’s the right bag weight for a school child?
A 2019 study done by researchers from the University of Granada and UK-based Liverpool John Moores University has finally revealed the maximum weight a child should carry using a school backpack and a backpack trolley.
The results state that a child should carry a backpack no more than 10% of their body weight.
If it’s a backpack trolley, the bag should not weigh greater than 20% of the child’s body weight.

Hopefully, the issue of heavy backpacks will be a thing of the past soon.

[Watch] Crows Steals RM1 And Plays “Kejar-Kejar” With People

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

A woman recently had to play kejar-kejar with a cheeky crow when the bird allegedly stole an RM1 note from a roadside stall in PJS 4, Petaling Jaya.

In the clip, the crow could be seen jumping on the roadside stall tent and away from anyone’s reach.
The crow also jumped on top of a car and a few people could be seen chasing the cheeky bird around the vehicle to get the money back.
After what seemed like forever, the crow finally returned the money to the woman.
  @ztaipan Pandai bergurau🤣🤣🤣 #insanbiasa #insanberdosa #cocktailmantoppjs4 #gengsterbiskut ♬ original sound – ztaipan
In another video, a man, believed to be the roadside stall owner, jokingly told off the crow for disturbing his business with his antics.
He willingly “bribed” the bird with an RM1 note so the bird would play far away from his business and the crow agreeably took it before flying away.
  @ztaipan Replying to @ryyuzy2 Ok jangan risau sudah kawtim🤣🤣🤣 #insanbiasa #insanberdosa #cocktailmantoppjs4 #gengsterbiskut ♬ original sound – ztaipan
Netizens couldn’t get enough of the crow’s antics and said how smart it was.
A netizen said luckily, the bird took one ringgit and nothing more, while another person asked why the crow wasn’t given food in exchange for the RM1 note. #CrowsRightsMatter
Another netizen who claimed to be the stall owner said the crow is collecting taxes from his business.

Are crows smart?
Crows are part of a group of birds known as corvids, which includes birds such as jays and ravens, according to Science.org.
Corvids have brains that are unusually larger than the other birds. Thus, they are known to be intelligent and capable of using tools, recognizing human faces (so don’t be mean to these birds) and understanding physics.
There have been stories of crows stealing money (or a credit card). In these cases, these birds learned through observation and trial and error. They can also be allegedly taught to carry out these small crimes.
Often, crows bring humans random trinkets as gifts for paying them attention or for feeding them. So that could also mean that crows understand gratitude.

Activist: MKN Should Review 2 Pax/Table Dine-In SOP & Allow Families To Dine Together

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

Some parties have asked that the National Security Council (MKN) review the current dine-in policy that limits 2-people per table at eateries.
Social activist Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye has urged that this dine-in standard operating procedure (SOP) be expanded to allow family members to dine together at larger tables with physical distancing.
As much as we understand that the NSC has applied the 2-person per table rules, I hope they could review this, as there are bigger tables available, in which it could accommodate the families while also observing the compulsory 1-metre physical-distancing rules.Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye via NST.
Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye(Credit: Malay Mail)
According to New Straits Times, he argues that allowing families of more than 2 people to sit together can help eateries earn more and keep their workers employed.
He points out that a 2-feet diameter table can accommodate two people, and the same can be applied to an 8-feet diameter table which can accommodate 8 people with physical distancing.
They faced shutdown and no-dining in before, and if the NSC could consider reviewing this particular rule and meet them halfway in terms of accommodating customers according to the table size, it would help them to regenerate their economy, especially in paying off their workers.Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye via NST.
MKN allowed dining in to resume at restaurants during the Movement Control Order (MCO) from 10th February onwards.
According to Senior Minister (Defence) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, the updated standard operating procedure (SOP) was in line with the government’s concern towards Malaysian entrepreneurs who have been financially affected by the pandemic.

Raise Digimon, Collect Ultraman, And Battle Kamen Rider Right On Your Wrist

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

Remember Pokémon GO, the location based mobile game that made going out, walking, and socialising fun?

Now that we are stuck at home and can only exercise within a 10KM radius, the appeal of collecting, hatching, and battling those pocket monsters have faded.
The Vital Bracelet
Bandai’s Vital Bracelet
However, Bandai, the folks who introduced Tamagotchi and Digimon to the world, have a new plan to make being active fun again.
The Vital Bracelet is a combination of a fitness wearable with virtual pets and famous hero characters.
Vital Bracelet Digital Monster
TLDR; the strength, happiness and evolution of the character you have in your Vital Bracelet depends on how active you are.
Completing “missions” in the form of activity challenges, for example sprinting for 20 seconds, makes your hero or virtual pet stronger.
Then test the mettle of your little sprite by tapping the Vital Bracelet on any NFC tag, like the turnstile at a train station, to find an enemy to battle.
You can then save your progress and even back up your characters by linking the Vital Bracelet to your smartphone.
The Characters
Franchises available on Vital Bracelet so far
Vital Bracelet was launched in March 2021 along with additional Digital Identified Memory (DIM) Cards.
Each DIM Card carries a different character or set of Digimon that can be used with the Vital Bracelet.
Most DIM Cards contain 14 or more Digimons with branching evolutions. However there are also special edition DIM cards that have fewer Digimons and without branching evolution.
Recently Bandai announced that they are going to add Ultraman, Ultra Monsters, and Kamen Rider to the mix with additional DIM Cards.
The Catch
Upcoming DIM Card
Vital Bracelets are first and foremost a toy, not a serious fitness tracker. Its pedometer and heart rate monitor, according to online reviews, isn’t accurate.
Also, the DIM Cards, although relatively inexpensive, can trigger that collector’s impulse. While some are readily available, some are rare and limited.
At the same time DIM Cards cannot be shared or traded, they can only be paired with one Vital Bracelet, and the correct DIM Card is needed if you want to switch between characters.
The Price
Vital Bracelet Digital Monster version is available now and retails for RM420.
Currently each DIM Card retails for around RM70. However, expect the price to fluctuate with favourite and limited edition characters.

[Watch] Kancil Goes Up In Flames During Refueling, Petrol Station Also Caught Fire

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

A fire broke out at a Petronas Petrol Station in Rantau Panjang, Kelantan involving a Perodua Kancil this morning.

The incident which is believed to have happened at 8.36 am became a commotion following the black smoke that billowed up to the surface of the clouds.
Based on a video posted on the Facebook page of Info Roadblock Seluruh Malaysia, the people who were at the scene ran for their life.
Accordingly, the fire initially occurred on the Kancil before spreading to a petrol pump, intensifying the columns of smoke.
The Kancil suffered about 50 percent destruction while the oil pump and its nozzles were totally burned.

The cause of the incident is still under investigation.
Thankfully, no one was injured.
However, it is understood that the driver and passenger could not be found.
The Cause For Fire While Refueling
Static electricity generates when imbalanced electric charges stay within or on the surface of a conducting material, and this could lead to the generation of sparks.
Since fuel vapours are abundant at a petrol station and near the car (while fuel is being filled), a possible combustion could happen.
All it takes is a spark to set these ablaze, which can cause an explosion.
Although it is rare, it does occur, and you can even find stories of people who started a fire with their car shut off.

Sometimes, there are other dangerous habits at the pump, such as using a lighter.
When you arrive at a petrol station, make sure to read the signs that are provided for your safety.

For Only RM10, Dig Into A Refreshing Bowl Of Lei Cha At This Cheras Restaurant

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

A’Tan Coffee Shop is a familiar establishment in Taman Connaught, Cheras, frequently visited by locals and are pretty well-known for their delicious and hearty lei cha.

Lei cha is also known as Hakka Tea Rice or Thunder Tea Rice, brought into Malaysia by Hakka people to serve the Chinese diaspora population.
Lei cha comes in two parts: the dry rice base and the soupy broth made with tea leaves.(Credit: TRP)
Nourishing & Hearty With Just Vegetables
Lei cha is often considered a pretty nourishing and healthy food, with their large amount of chopped vegetables and tofu bits mixed with roasted nuts and seeds.
The broth is cooked with tea leaves for a refreshing soup, though A’Tan adds some mint leaves into their recipe for an even more fragrant taste.
The soup broth should be poured over the dry rice and toppings in one go and stirred well. The end result is a hearty porridge-like dish that’s savoury, healthy, and hits all the vegetables you need in a day.
Pour the broth over the rice & toppings. A’Tan uses chopped veggies such as cabbages together with roasted peanuts and sesame seeds for a crunchy texture.(Credit: TRP)
(Of course, some people also like to eat the two separately, but trust us when we say it’s way more satisfying to mix it all together.)
Additionally, it’s a great option for vegetarians or those who are looking to reduce their meat intake, without compromising on a satisfying and delicious meal!
They Began With Instant Noodles
While their name is a bit of a misnomer now, A’Tan Coffee Shop did actually begin as a proper coffee shop.
A’Tan opened its doors in 2008 and first started selling instant noodles from all over Southeast Asia.
This was before imported instant noodles such as Korean ramyun and Thai Mama noodles were easily available, so their shelves were always stocked with a wide variety of brands and noodles from Japan, Korean, Thailand, and even Indonesia.
Nowadays you can get Neoguri at almost any market.(Credit: KDrama Fighting)
Then, A’Tan began to offer typical Malaysian breakfast foods such as nasi lemak or fried rice for regulars who needed a bit of a bite in the mornings.
We have a lot of regulars who walk in requesting for certain foods or a certain dish. Eventually, they ask for it so often that we just add it into our menu. That’s why our menu is always expanding.A’Tan to TRP
They expanded to even include a DIY chee cheong fun station, where you pick your favourite sides in the portion you want, and they’ll prepare it for you.
Customers then began to ask for food that was a little more nourishing, such as a typical Chinese meal of “3 dishes 1 soup” to make a square meal. A’Tan found that this menu which comprises of traditional Chinese dishes was extremely popular, so eventually they shifted to a sit-down Chinese restaurant and no longer served the instant noodle and chee cheong fun combos.

You May Get “Perks” For Being Vaccinated Soon: Health Minister

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

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba says that those who have completed the two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine may be given more leeway soon in a new guideline that is being drafted.

The new guideline will be presented at the National Security Special Council soon.
He added that the guideline is based on the best practices of other countries, such as the US, which has vaccinated more than 30% of its population. There, those who have completed their vaccination enjoyed certain benefits.
“Malaysia will also give some leeway to vaccine recipients who have completed two doses. However, we will ask public health experts to give their views, recommendations and present them in the NSC Special Session for reference before a decision is made,” said Dr Adham.
Earlier this month, Covid-19 National Immunisation Programme Coordinating Minister, Khairy Jamaluddin said that a guideline for those who have received both of their vaccination doses is being presented at the committee level.
He also said that the guideline is expected to be out in August.
Two days ago, Dr Adham and Khairy Jamaluddin were briefed by public health experts on the handling and benefits of vaccines during the Special Committee on Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) meeting.

Doctor shares the different types of milk and what they contain on Twitterjaya

You might think milk is milk, either way. Well, due to marketing campaigns of milk or milk-based products, all the different types of milk can get a little confusing.
If you arenâ€™t sure which type of milk is the best for you and your family, Dr Kamarul Ariffin is here to help you! The friendly Twitterjaya doctor recently posted an extensive thread on the topic.

Siapa tahu beza susu segar, susu penuh krim, susu skim, susu rendah lemak, susu isian, susu sejat, susu pekat dan sebagai?
Kalau tak tahu, kena follow thread ni! pic.twitter.com/GQS7jM8kd0
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

[Who knows the difference between fresh milk, full cream milk, skimmed milk, low-fat milk, filled milk, evaporated milk etc?
If you don’t know, then follow this thread!]
Is it just us or does the intro tweet already have you scratching your head? â€œFilled milkâ€ is a completely new concept for us…

1. Susu Segar (Fresh Milk)Susu mentah yang dipasteurkan untuk bunuh kuman. Ia dijual dalam bentuk aslinya(cecair). Jika ia susu import, maka ia diimport dalam bentuk cecair. Oleh itu, harganya lebih mahal sedikit. pic.twitter.com/W3yub8fuaG
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

1. Fresh milk
Fresh milk is raw cows milk pasteurised (heated then cooled to specific temperatures) to kill harmful bacteria. It is sold in its original form (liquid). If imported, it is done so in liquid form. Because of this, it tends to be a little more expensive.

2. Susu Penuh Krim (Full Cream Milk) Susu yang mengandungi komposisi lemak seperti susu segar iaitu sekitar 3.8%. Ia dijual dalam bentuk susu sedia minum atau dikeringkan menjadi susu tepung. pic.twitter.com/qzWbCVtJY3
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

2. Full cream milk
Full cream milk is fresh milk that contains an average of 3.8% milk fat. It can be sold ready to drink or dehydrated into milk powder.

3. Susu Rendah Lemak (Low Fat Milk)Susu yang telah dibuang sebahagian lemaknya sehingga mengandungi sekitar 1.5% kandungan lemak. Ia dijual dalam bentuk susu sedia minum atau dikeringkan menjadi susu tepung. pic.twitter.com/g7ZfeEnYde
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

3. Low-fat milk
Low-fat milk is fresh milk that with some milk fats removed until only an average of 1.5% of milk fats are left. It is sold ready to drink or dehydrated into milk powder.

4. Susu Skim (Skimmed Milk) Susu yang telah dibuang sebahagian lemaknya sehingga mengandungi sekitar 0.15% kandungan lemak. Ia dijual dalam bentuk susu sedia minum atau dikeringkan menjadi susu tepung. pic.twitter.com/1FLCTQy0Hq
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

4. Skimmed milk
Skimmed milk is fresh milk with its milk fats removed until it only has on average 0.15% milk fats left. It is sold ready to drink or dehydrated into milk powder. Some times milk solids are added to make it taste better.

5. Krim (Heavy/Whipping Cream) Lemak/krim terapung yang diasingkan daripada susu asli. Heavy cream memiliki sehingga 40% kandungan lemak. Krim putar(whipping cream) pula mengandungi sekitar 30% lemak susu. pic.twitter.com/mQ9D3GBx4k
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

5. Heavy/whipping cream
Heavy/whipping cream is the thick part of milk that rises to the top due to its high-fat content. Cream contains up to 40% of milk fat. It has one of the highest fat contents compared to other dairy products. Whipping cream contains about 30% of milk fat.

6. Susu Isian(Filled Milk)Susu yang lemaknya telah dibuang dan digantikan/disi pula dengan lemak sayuran(lazimnya sawit). Pendek kata, susu skim atau pepejal susu yang campur lemak sayuran. Lazimnya dijual dalam bentuk susu sejat atau serbuk.
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

6. Filled milk
Filled milk is fresh milk which has had itâ€™s milk fats removed and replaced with vegetable fat (such as palm oil). Essentially, it is skimmed milk or milk solids mixed with vegetable fats used for baking and cooking purposes. Usually sold as evaporated milk or in powder form.

7. Susu Sejat (Evaporated Milk) Susu asli penuh krim atau isian yang dipanaskan agar kandungan airnya tersejat dan menghasilkan susu yang lebih padat. Tiada tambahan gula dicampur kepada susu ini. pic.twitter.com/b3VP9Kdrhk
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

7. Evaporated milk
Evaporated milk is made by simmering fresh milk over low heat until 60% of its water is removed. The milk is then homogenised, which integrates all the fat molecules so they don’t separate over time. Usually, sugar is not added to this type of milk and it is naturally low in fat.

8. Susu Pekat Manis (Sweetened Condensed Milk) Susu asli penuh krim atau isian tersejat yang ditambah gula, kemudian dipanaskan sehingga sebatian menjadi pekat dan terkaramel. Inilah yang banyak makan kaki rakyat Malaysia. pic.twitter.com/FUobd2GLb8
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

8. Sweetened condensed milk
Sweetened condensed milk is made by simmering fresh milk over low heat, like evaporated milk, until most of its water is removed. It then has sugar added to it to prolong its shelf life. Sugar prevents microorganisms from growing in the milk and helps to thicken it even further. The sugar is added after it is simmered and pasteurised.

9. Krimer (Creamer) Ia diperbuat daripada pepejal susu, minyak, air, gula/pemanis tiruan, emulsifier, penstabil dan pemekat. Ada yang tiada pepejal susu pun. Datang dalam bentuk cecair, ada serbuk. Pilihan yang tidak sihat. pic.twitter.com/I1KcXqAGs0
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

9. Creamer
Creamer is dairy-free. Although ingredients vary from brand to brand, most creamers are made from a combination of water, sugar and vegetable oil. It is usually heavily processed with added sugar. It comes in liquid form and powder form. An unhealthy option.

10. Susu Bukan Tenusu(Non Dairy Milk) Susu daripada sumber tumbuhan seperti soya, badam, santan, beras dan sebagainya. Ia biasanya digunakan oleh mereka yang alergi kepada susu, intoleran laktosa, atau vegan. pic.twitter.com/NK1Ch4om0f
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

10. Non-dairy milk
Non-dairy milk is derived from plant sources such as soy, almonds, coconut, rice and others. It is usually consumed by those who have allergies to milk, are lactose intolerant or vegan.
In response to the thread, several Twitter users had some points to clarify with Dr Kamarul.

Susu pekat manis ada banyak jenis.
Sweetened creamerSweetened full cream milkSweetened filled milkSweetened skimmed milk
Yang tiada langsung pepejal susu adalah krimer
Vitamin dalam susu tu tutup mata jelah. Jika perlu vitamin, baik ambil dari sumber segar: sayur, buah, etc
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

Although milk does tend to contain some vitamins, Dr Kamarul advises negating the vitamins contained in milk saying that vegetables and fruits are much better sources of vitamins than milk.

Susu formula adalah susu yang formulated mengikut keperluan bayi mengikut umur.
Susu kita minum tu susu lembu, ia tak semestinya sesuai ikut keperlyan bayi. Ada masa susu lembu tak sesuai juga untuk anak kita.
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

Anyway, no to say susu formula itu yang terbaik. Ia bergantung kepada umur, kondisi dan keperluan kanak-kanak.
Jadi, kita kena ikut nasihat doktor/dietician yang telah lihat/periksa/rawat anak kita. Itu yang elok.
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

As for formulated milk for children, Dr Kamarul says that cows milk does not contain enough nutrients required for babies and sometimes cows milk is not suitable for babies at all. Thus, for children below the age of 2, formulated milk recommended by the childâ€™s doctor is the best type of milk for them (besides motherâ€™s milk, of course).

4 tahun, tiada masalah minum full cream. Kecuali anak tu dah obese. Kalau obese, kena ambil susu rendah lemak.
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

Bukan diganti.
Skim milk has lower fat & protein, so comparing to the same volume of it and full cream milk, skim milk has more lactose(sugar).
Full cream= high fat & protein, low lactose.
Skim milk = low fat and protein, high lactose.
Depends kesihatan kita perlu yang mana.
â€” Kamarul Ariffin (@dr_chaku) June 13, 2019

So much info! Thanks to the good doctor for taking the time to educate us all on this!
And Twitterjaya really milked this doctor for info, didnâ€™t they?

Susu sajat sesuai untuk @AfiqRosdan_

This Subang Teacher Sells Milo Everyday After School To Make Ends Meet

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

It’s not surprising to hear that 2020 has been a tough year for everyone, but the viral tale of a Montessori teacher in Subang Jaya who sells Milo drinks everyday after school to make ends meet, is a particularly sobering example.

It all began when Aminah Farid decided to share her mother’s Milo selling side-business on Twitter.
In her post, she explained that the 53-year-old teacher, Shafinaz Melisa, decided to jump into the food and beverages (F&B) business when she realised her pay as a teacher was not sufficient to keep up with the rising cost of living.
She’s gone through so much as a woman and a single mother, and I’m so damn proud of her. She’s the strongest person I’ve ever met, and also the reason why I strive to be independent, mentally and financially. Thanks for teaching me valuable life lessons and self-worth Mama. ❤— lemon lima (@sassylemonlima) August 10, 2020
Speaking to TRP, Aminah says that her mother- who is also a single mother- had been teaching for 15 years and  currently works in a school that specialises in special needs children.
Though Shafinaz finds it challenging to educate those who have difficulty in accomplishing simple tasks from buttoning their clothes or wearing their shoes, the dedicated teacher still finds satisfaction in seeing the progress that they make.
Her only lament is the lack of appreciation for the hard work put in by teachers.
If only the government would appreciate teachers more in this country because at the end of the day, we are the ones that cater to their kids’ learning foundation.Shafinaz Melisa to TRP.
In fact, the teacher only takes home RM1,200 a month after EPF and SOCSO deductions – a figure that hovers on the minimum wage, but falls far below the RM2,700 living wage that Bank Negara estimated is sufficient for a single adult living in Kuala Lumpur.
With a teacher’s pay that cannot cover the house bills, Shafinaz joined Nestle Milo Malaysia and became a licensed Milo drink trader- selling iced Milo drinks at RM2 and RM3 ringgit a cup at schools around Subang Jaya.

While her tale garnered widespread well-wishes from Malaysians in awe of her hardworking spirit, Aminah stresses that her mother’s situation should not just serve as an inspiration, but also a wake up call on the systemic issue regarding the rising costs of living.
I support your mom’s effort! As long as its halal, insyallah Allah will pay nor give the best for her soon 💞— Muffin (@Muffffiiinnnnn) August 10, 2020
People like my mother should not have to be doing two jobs just to get by, it’s a growing problem in our country that needs to be talked about. She speaks for everyone who is going through these trying times.Aminah to TRP.
According to the Statistics Department’s 2019 Household Income and Basic Amenities Survey Report and Household Expenditure Survey Report, the poverty line income for the average Malaysian household now stands at RM2,208 per month while the income gap has only worsened in the last five years.
READ MORE: Stats Dept: New Poverty Line Income Is RM2,208 Per Month & Income Gap Has Increased
Nonetheless, Shafinaz’s resourcefulness and hardworking nature is worthy of admiration, with Aminah also speaking highly of her.
The appreciative daughter says Shafinaz is strongest person she’s ever met, fiercely independent and dauntless in the face of obstacles.
On her own, she came up with solutions to her problems. So just imagine, me as a child, seeing all that power someone has to pick themselves up when life throws stuff in their face. I was clearly inspired because now that’s how I am as an person – firm and confident with everything I do in life.Aminah to TRP.

To all this, Shafinaz simply says:
If you’re hardworking and have faith in yourself, it will take you through these trying times because all hope is not lost.Shafinaz to TRP.

If you’d like to get in touch with Shafinaz to support her business, she is available to sell Milo at events and can be reached at +6019-308-1799.

Government Plans To Introduce Rukun Negara Subject In Schools & Universities

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

The government plans on introducing a Rukun Negara syllabus into the national education system.
According to National Unity Minister Datuk Halimah Mohd Sadique, the Education Ministry (MOE) and Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) are studying to create subjects formed on the basis of the Rukun Negara or the Malaysian National Principles, in schools, particularly on the primary and secondary levels.
The subject would focus on teaching students about civic responsibility to the nation as well as the nation’s laws and governance.
The minister said that the Malaysian society needed to be educated on how to better understand and respect each other and strengthen national unity.
The government had made a recent push to glorify the Rukun Negara in honor of its 50-year anniversary taking place from July till September together with the upcoming 62nd Merdeka Day celebration.
Previously, the Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal mentioned that a specially designed Rukun Negara school syllabus was being drafted aimed at creating political awareness and exposing young people to the nation’s democratic and governmental processes.
Additionally, the government had also announced plans on reintroducing an updated version of the discontinued National Service Training Programme (PLKN).

7 super-shortcuts to afford the ‘seriously unafforable’ houses in Malaysia

It’s official: you can’t afford to buy a house in this economy. But that won’t stop you would it? You’re tenacious. You want what you want. You’d do anything for it. Wouldn’t you?
1.  Ask for money from someone who won’t want it back
Malaysians are very generous people. If you ask nicely, you’re bound to find someone who will give you all the cash they have. It helps if you learn the magic words “Your money or your life”.
Robbery Jib Jab GIF from Robbery GIFs

2. Join an underground criminal organization
I mean sure, it’s a little dangerous, but it’s a job that pays really well. That 2-storey bungalow you’ve been eyeing? Yours by next year.
Besides, every job has its risks, right?
Worth It GIF from Worthit GIFs

3. Smuggle drugs across the border
You get to travel overseas and bring home souvenirs! Just don’t bring it back in a durian. Terrible idea.
But you can definitely afford that nice beach-view unit now.
Cocaina High GIF from Cocaina GIFs

4.Gamble your way to fortune
Try your luck at the casino. I mean, you never know. You could walk away with the down payment for a brand new luxury condo unit. Beginner’s luck, as they call it.
Dave Chapelle Casino GIF from Davechapelle GIFs

5. Get yourself on a will or life insurance (of someone else)
Inheritance is the easiest way to a lot of money very quickly, after all. You won’t have to really do anything. Plus, a fire is easy to start.

The family house was just insured last week, how lucky.

6. Start an MLM
It’s not so bad, you get to hang out with a lot of old friends you’ve not seen in a while and have a lot of cool-looking stuff in your closet.
Besides, all that stuff will look really nice in your new house.
Mlm Clint XMorgan GIF from Mlm GIFs

7. Start a phone scam
You already have the tools: a phone, and a bank account. That’s all you need. You’ll eventually get over your anxiety of talking on the phone, just focus on the end goal: a nice corner lot in a nice housing area.
Call Your Parents. And Listen To Them When You Call. GIF from Hello GIFs

Sure it may be difficult to own houses now, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. Never give up on your dreams! #HUSTLE
This article is written in jest and TRP is in no way endorsing these (illegal) ways to earn money.
Let us know if we made you laugh on our Facebook,Â TwitterÂ andÂ Instagram.


M’sia’s last Sumatran rhino’s eggs to be harvested; scientists attempt to boost numbers

Good news for nature lovers out there!
Scientists from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW) in Germany will attempt to harvest the eggs from Malaysia’s sole surviving Sumatran rhino.
Borneo Rhino Alliance (Bora) executive director, Datuk Dr Junaidi Payne said the effort could boost the number of Sumatran rhinos.

â€œIn order for the embryo to develop, it requires a surrogate mother, which Malaysia now relies on Indonesia as the neighbouring country has four female Sumatran rhinos in captivity.
Dr Junaidi Payne, Bernama

Known affectionally as Iman, she is located at the Tabin Wildlife Reserve in Sabah and is the last of her kind in Malaysia, after the death of the last male, Tam earlier this year.
Sumatran rhinos are the smallest of the living rhinoceroses and the only Asian rhino with two horns.
According to WWF (no, not the wrestling promotion) they are covered with long hair and are more closely related to the extinct woolly rhinos than any of the other rhino species alive currently.

They once roamed as far away as the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas in Bhutan and eastern India, through Myanmar, Thailand, possibly to Vietnam and China, and south through the Malay Peninsula.
Now, there are only two different subspecies, the western and eastern Sumatran; both are nearly extinct in the islands of Sumatra and Borneo.

Besides harvesting Iman’s eggs, Malaysia and Indonesia are also expected to sign a memorandum of understanding on Sumatran rhino conservation soon.

The harvesting of Iman’s eggs has become possible now that she has recovered after being afflicted with uterine tumour.
