So kalau berpaku memang boleh ea buat live time tengah operasi? Taktau pulak. Masa aku kerja dulu anggota post gambar tengah bertugas kena tindakan keras. Maybe zaman dah berubah, aku pun taktau arahan terkini mungkin pegawai saja dibenarkan kot bersosial media time operasi/tugas pic.twitter.com/qLz9aIlJ73— ₆⁶₆ςιδ²³₆⁶₆ Seller iPhone!

In the one-minute and 38sec video, the Assistant Supt is seen talking about a police raid at an unknown entertainment outlet.
She also told her followers to keep following her update and wish that she could reach  100,000 followers on her TikTok account.

Razarudin said the department would issue a circular on the use of social media among police officers and personnel today.
This is not the first time Bukit Aman had issued a directive to bar its personnel from sharing social media content of themselves while on duty.
The same circular was issued in August 2020, aimed at preventing negative perceptions or criticism that could tarnish the image of the police force.

Bye-bye Pepsi, Hello Coca-Cola – KFC & Pizza Hut Malaysia Welcomes New Partnership With Coke

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

For decades, we’ve been accustomed to drinking Pepsi at both KFC and Pizza Hut. Hey, the workers would even correct us when we generally asked,

“Uh, I’ll take a coke with that meal,”
“Sorry miss, KFC only serves Pepsi.”

So that embarrassment undeniably got sewn into our heads, that McDonald’s is the one with Coca-Cola. KFC is Pepsi. Right?
But that’s gonna change starting this month.
We’ll be seeing Coca-Cola drinks there now
QSR Brands (M) Holdings Bhd, franchise owner and operator of KFC and Pizza Hut,  recently announced a multi-year partnership with Coca-Cola Malaysia.
The three biggest names in the F&B industry aim to serve and make each mealtime ‘more magical’ for every Malaysian as they will ‘liven’ the menu boards of more than 740 KFC stores and over 440 Pizza Hut restaurants across the country.

They will start the beverage transition to Coca-Cola in selected KFC and Pizza Hut stores nationwide (around 1,180+) starting August and are expected to fully serve the new drinks by early September.
Malaysians can now enjoy Coca-Cola Rasa Asli and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar in the said stores and restaurants, along with Sprite, Fanta and Heaven & Earth teas.
We are proud to have our Coca-Cola drinks served alongside KFC and Pizza Hut’s popular food offerings. We are excited that this partnership represents a significant synergy to provide diners with our refreshing range of beverages in responding to ever-changing consumer needs. Louis Balat Joseph, Chief Executive Officer, Bottling Investments Group for Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei.
Bye-bye Pepsi. Hey there, Coke. (Credit: Coca-Cola Malaysia, KFC / Facebook)
What happened to Pepsi?
Honestly, nobody knows. Earlier in May in another part of the globe, the giant company also backed out from sponsoring a show in one of the biggest sports events in the US, the Super Bowl. They decided to bow out from the Super Bowl Halftime Show, a show where the biggest Hollywood stars usually perform during the halftime game of the National Football League (NFL).
Well, whatever that’s going on, we’ll just have to get used to saying “coke” again when we go to KFC and Pizza Hut. You’ll surely be missed Pepsi.
Speaking of that, are you team Pepsi or Coca-Cola? Which ones do you like better?

Tok Pa Says Economy Needs At Least 6 Months To Recover After COVID-19 Crisis

Even after the COVID-19 crisis has ended, the government thinks that it’ll take at least six months for Malaysia’s economy to recover from the debilitating effects of the coronavirus.
The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said the estimated period was reasonable with the support of the right strategies.
He mentioned during an interview with Bernama TV that the coronavirus has badly affected sectors including tourism, hospitality, retail and investment.
Tok Pa also commented on small and medium enteprises (SMEs), as he said that the government is willing to discuss with some of these businesses as well as micro-entrepreneurs who felt left out of the economic stimulus package.
He added that although big in numbers, SMEs represent 60% of the local workforce and the government is always open to them.

We’ve been waiting for far too long for the KFC Zinger Double Down to come back, and now it has.
We’re not going to lie, the Double Down is one of our favourites.(Credit: TRP)
Instead of the usual soft bread buns, the Zinger Double Down features two Zinger patties as the “bun” sandwiching a crispy chicken strip, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and a slather of signature Jalapeno cheese sauce.
Then, the brand new Cheezilla Double Down adds a special twist to the special burger with a whole fried mozzarella cheese patty, so you really get to pack on the protein.
We’ve tried the fried mozzarella chesse patty before, when it was introduced in another of KFC’s limited-time burgers, so it’s definitely gonna be good!
Look at how delicious that looks!(Credit: KFC)
The Zinger Double Down was first introduced to Malaysians as a limited-time menu item in 2012, and has seen a popular uptake everytime it is brought back.
Perhaps it’s about time KFC just made it a part of the permanent menu.

Another Call It Quits After Lee Zii Jia, Woman Player Lee Meng Yean Bites The Dust At BAM

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

Another name has been added to the list of examples of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM)’s weakness in player management that might come back to haunt them in the future.

BAM (29 January) announced today that experienced women’s doubles player, Lee Meng Yean has slipped through their fingers.
Lee is following in the footsteps of the All England champion Lee Zii Jia who surprised the nation’s badminton fans by asking to leave the national squad.

BAM said in a statement that Meng Yean, 27, is no longer with the national squad effective today.
Lee had shouldered Malaysia’s challenge in the Uber 2020 Cup and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
BAM would like to thank Meng Yean for her contribution to the national squad, she went with the best greetings from everyone in the association.BAM on Lee’s exit from the parent body

She paid tribute to BAM, ISN (National Sports Institute), MSN (National Sports Council), coaches and teammates.
Don’t worry, I won’t disappear directly from the badminton radar because you all want to see Nyek Nyek (her nickname) continue to shine in the court.Lee Meng Yean on her future plans as a badminton player
In contrast to Zii Jia, 24, Meng Yean’s move to leave BAM was not a surprise as she was seen struggling to form a solid combination with his new partner, Yap Cheng Wen after her previous partner Chow Mei Kuan announced his retirement soon after the Tokyo Games.
Meanwhile, Lee said that although she is no longer with BAM, she would continue his career as a professional player and represent Malaysia.
This is a difficult and sad decision for me but I believe and prepare for the next direction. Even though I no longer train at BAM, it doesn’t mean I will stop playing, it;s just that I will play in a different environment. Shuttler Lee Meng Yean on her decision to leave BAM

Heads Must Roll At BAM
Fans are angry that a potentially top-quality shuttler has slipped through BAM’s net because the association wasn’t prepared to put the bucks into the pot.

Much criticism had been leveled at BAM after problems surfaced with Lee and Goh Jin Wei which were eventually resolved after much drama.
Fans demanded the top guns in BAM be held responsible for the exodus of players.

Shuttlers past and present also criticised BAM for seemingly lacking the room for long-term vision.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G [First Impressions]

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

An antithesis to the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is Samsung’s latest most cutting edge offering for the fashionable, the popular, and the stylish.

I’ve had my hands on one for the past 4 days and here are my initial impressions of the fun and compact feature-filled Android smartphone.

READ MORE: We Got The Malaysian Prices For The New Samsung Galaxy Devices!READ MORE: Samsung Unfolds The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G Ahead Of August Release
The Black Box

From its black understated and eco-friendly packaging to the moment I held it in my hand, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G did not betray its fun side.
The model that I got was in phantom black, which is one of the seven glorious colours available.
In the box, it looked like any other smartphone in the market, a glass and metal slab that is narrow and long.
But, that changed when I picked it up and flipped it closed. This is no ordinary smartphone, it is also my first foldable.
First Impressions

As the name implies, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is the third iteration of the Flip. By this time Samsung knows what they are doing and it shows. Everything about the Z Flip3 is solid, from the build to the folding mechanism. Nothing about it makes me question its quality.
Although I have yet to explore the full user experience of the Z Flip3, every design decision Samsung made seems to make sense. I look forward to using that cover display more.
Furthermore, its folded form is so compact you could forgo pocketing it altogether and carry it like a wearable. Personally, if I had one of the official Flip3 cases, the one with the ring, I would attach it to a carabiner and hang it from my everyday carry bag or a lanyard instead.
The Initial Setup

Setting up the Galaxy Z Flip3 is simple and it works even if you don’t have accounts with, or do not want to log into, Google or Samsung.
Follow the instructions carefully and you can even pick not to install all the extra apps you might not need.
I, however, chose to install all the apps and log into my accounts just to see what I would get.
Facebook will be there whether you like it or not, but Spotify, Microsoft apps like LinkedIn, and some extra Samsung apps are optional.
Overall, it is not so bad, not all of the apps installed are unwelcome.
I also choose to install and update all the default and optional apps before starting to use the Z Flip3. That took a while.
In the meantime, I wanted to charge the Z Flip3, but it only came with a USB-C to USB-C charging cable. No USB-C adapter in the box, so if you don’t have one then you’ll have to buy one.
More Coming Soon
In the next few days I’ll be testing the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G with some of the most common apps and put it through its paces in everyday scenarios. We’ll also do a photo and video shootout and see how it fairs.
Look out for a full review of this fun flip phone coming soon.

Ramadan Bazaar Is Permitted To Operate This Year, Says Prime Minister

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

According to Bernama, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said that this year, there will be no restrictions imposed on economic activities including the Ramadan bazaars.

However, a more refined standard operating procedure (SOP) will be set for the Ramadan bazaars this year which will be announced at a much later date. Ramadan, a fasting month for Muslims, is expected to start on the 3rd of April for a month until the 2nd of May 2022 in Malaysia.
“We will not be closing down businesses, as I have mentioned earlier, the Raya celebration, fasting month, Ramadan bazaar and night market will all resume as usual,” he said to the reporters after attending the Keluarga Malaysia Chinese New Year Luncheon yesterday.
Before this, some Ramdan bazaar traders were worried that they wouldn’t be able to operate this year due to the rising case of the Omicron wave over the past month.

As of yesterday (13 February 2022), the number of new Covid-19 cases were reported to be 21,072 making the cumulative total cases over 3 million.
Even with the increasing numbers, the authorities appease the public by saying that the Ramadan bazaar can and will be operating this year but with compliance to the existing SOPs.
Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Dr Shahidan Kassim even mentioned last week that Ramadan bazaar in the federal territories are allowed to open this year as we need to drive economic activities in this ‘post’-COVID-19 period.
Last year in 2021, the operation of the Ramadan bazaar was also permitted but only in some areas and under strict SOPs, including entry and exit controls while in 2020, any bazaar was not allowed to operate nationwide to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Over 1,000 Frontliners Have Contracted Covid-19 Since The Outbreak Began

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

As many as 1,099 healthcare workers under the Health Ministry have contracted Covid-19 since the beginning of the outbreak in Malaysia.

Responding to a question posed during his daily Covid-19 press conference, Health Director-General Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said, despite this, a majority of the cases involving healthcare workers were contracted via community infections.
Out of the total, 949 healthcare workers had contracted the infection from the community, such as when they attended social gatherings including weddings.
He added that all frontline staff – regardless if they had tested positive or were only exposed to positive colleagues – were immediately quarantined to ensure the safety of other members of staff.
The important thing is that they have to comply with the SOP. For example, if they served in the ICU or Covid-19 wards they have to comply with the SOP so as not to be infected.Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah
He also said that healthcare workers contracting Covid-19 was one of the issues that arose since the second wave of infections in the country.

KL Fertility Doctor Found That Covid-19 Lowered Sperm Count In Her Patient

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

Bad news for the men, it seems that there’s evidence that getting infected with Covid-19 doesn’t only damage your lungs but it also has an effect on your sperm count, and not in a positive way.

Facebook user Dr Helena Lim posted on the platform sharing her experience of treating a couple who wanted to undergo an in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment shortly before contracting the coronavirus.
What the doctor found after conducting another sperm test a month after the couple recovered was that there was a drop in sperm count, motility, speed and morphology.
A couple came to see me for IVF. Husband’s sperm was acceptable in count but have some quality issue. However, due to the wife’s age, they decided to proceed with an IVF. Unfortunately, during the initiation of IVF cycle, both of them were tested positive for Covid and the IVF cycle had to be abandoned. A repeat sperm test after one month post Covid showed significant drop in sperm count, motility, speed and morphology. Please protect yourself against Covid, because Covid does have a significant implication on your fertility.Dr Helena Lim via Facebook

Does it really affect your sperm?
Sadly, this is not an isolated case as studies on the effect of Covid-19 on the gonads has been reported by both local and international media.
According to reports by NST, a study found that sperm cells of Covid-19 patients showed a significant increase in markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, a chemical imbalance that can damage DNA and proteins in the body.
These effects on sperm cells are associated with lower sperm quality and reduced fertility potential.
Meanwhile, LiveScience quoted a study done by the University of Florence in Italy, in which the semen samples from 43 men ages 30 to 65 were analyzed about one month after they had recovered from Covid-19.
They found that 25% of the men had low sperm count, and nearly 20% had azoospermia, or the total absence of sperm in semen but concluded that more research is needed to see if it actually harms the male reproductive system.

This Malaysian Comic Is Being Picked Up By An American Publisher

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

It started over 10 years ago when Mohd Adnan Shamsuddin and his team won the 2009 Intellectual Property Creators’ Challenge (IPCC) Creative Grant run by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), Malaysian Super Corridor (MSC) and Malaysia Animation Creative Content Centre (MAC3).

With the RM25,000 they were granted, Andika The Neosantara Saga was born two years later with Volume 1 Part 1 released in 2011.

In the official Andika The Neosantara Saga’s Facebook, Adnan reflects how his comic was awarded Best New English Comic and Best Coloured Comic in 2012 by the Malaysian Comic Entrepreneurs Association (PeKOMIK).
The first print sold out at Malaysia’s Comic Fiesta 2010 and the success would later take the team to the San Diego Comic-Con in 2012. However, due to the lack of professional promotion, the project was “left in the dark and forgotten”.
Opportunity knocks
Adnan tells TRP that things started to look up when Manuel Godoy, CEO of Black Sands Entertainment based in Columbia, Maryland in the US, contacted him in January this year after coming across his Andika comic strip in a foreign art Facebook group. The rest is history and the Andika project is back in full swing with a 12 issue deal in the works.
Described as ‘the most popular independent black content developers in the nation’ on their LinkedIn, Black Sands Entertainment targets the black community but has creators from other communities as well.
An archipelagic universe filled with magical beings
Andika The Neosantara Saga is a story about a boy on an archipelago called Andika, who wants to live outside his tribe’s strict rules.
The story happens in the alternate universe of Nusantara called Neosantara and is filled with beasts, magical beings, fighting and drama.
Although it’s a fictional story, it’s based on historical characters with even legendary warriors Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat making an appearance.

Pahang Resort Got Bashed By SPM Candidates For “Ruining” Exams

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

If any of you noticed, 2021 SPM candidates are doing their Language Speaking and Listening Test this month. That includes the Bahasa Melayu Listening Test done on 21 February 2022.

In the test, a resort called Salang Sayang, which exists in real life near Pulau Tioman, Pahang was mentioned and the SPM candidates were bewildered by the name.
Mishearing the name, some of the candidates didn’t expect that the resort would exist and proceeded to vent out their frustrations to the Google Review page of the resort.

Some of them even gave a 1/5 rating to the resort even though they have never been there. Some cursed angrily and demand changing the name of their resort.
All the frustration was rooted in the cause of them potentially losing one mark because of the resort name in the listening test.
As if Google Review wasn’t enough, they targeted the resort’s IG page too.

This Is Unethical
A lot of people condemn the actions of those SPM candidates saying that they’re not thinking straight and some take their jokes too far. Ranting on social media is one case but ranting in review spaces is another. Their real ratings could drop and it’s not even their fault.

Kids, please don't ever do this… this is unethical. You can rant on your social media accounts, sure but the review space are meant for the resort review and it's important or else the said resort will be affected 🙁 https://t.co/aXEv6aBD6N— Salwa Sawi (@snsalwa) February 21, 2022

However, Salang Sayang Resort Is Admirably Playing It Cool
Due to the havoc on Twitter based on the Bahasa Melayu Listening Test from SPM 2021 students, Salang Sayang Resort became the unexpected attention of many. Call it free publicity if you will.

Knowing the background of all the rants and bad reviews that are coming to them, the resort’s reacted in a very calm and collected manner. They were even seen calming the students down and wishing them all the best in their Insta Story. They’re literally playing it cool. They joked that maybe the one who invented the questions went there before and couldn’t stop thinking about their place.
After the ordeal, some of the netizens felt bad and helped to give 5/5 ratings to the resort just to counter the bad ones. Some of them who were also from the SPM 04 batch apologised publicly saying that they are embarrassed by their batchmate’s ridiculous actions and to not judge them all youngsters like that.
To those SPM 2021 candidates with your writing exam in March, we wish you all the best for your upcoming papers. Go recover that mark that you lost in your listening test. All the best!

Covid-19 Porn Teaches People How To Wear Masks Properly (SFW)

Pornography is probably the furthest thing from educational. Like most entertainment, it’s staged, faked, and decidedly unreal.
But sexual desire is human nature, and Pornhub is in the top 50 websites visited globally. (It’s actually ranked at #38, if you’re curious.)
However, Pornhub is actually doing their part on educating people on safety precautions in light of the Covid-19 outbreak.
In one of the porn videos on the site, the actors give a surprisingly concise 30-second PSA on the coronavirus (before the actual porn happens).
Yes, we had to watch porn. At work. For work.(Credit: Pornhub)
The actor starts off with “Have you ever heard of Covid-19? You aren’t even wearing a mask!”
The actor then explains the usage of masks (to protect other people from you if you’re infected), to the only kind of mask that can protect you from others (an N95), the amount of people in full quarantine in China (60 million), and ends with the warning on the severity of it (way more serious than just a “common flu”).
The PSA ends with the actors giving a pretty good demonstration on how to use “protection”… meaning the masks.(Credit: Pornhub)
In fact, all things considered, it’s a pretty concise bit of solid information that you simply wouldn’t have expected from a porn video on a porn website.
Porn happens, whether you like it or not. And a lot of people like it, evidently, which is why Pornhub regularly uses their platform to raise awareness for other things, like cleaning the world’s most polluted beaches, or planting trees to help the environment.
But does this mean you should go looking into Pornhub for more factual information in the future? Um, maybe not.

Haze: Parents ask doctors for MCs to stay home and watch their kids

Malaysia has been declared the #1 most air polluted country, while Kuching was labelled most air polluted city.
As the haze hit â€œvery unhealthyâ€ levels in several locations, all schools in Selangor, Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya have been closed for the rest of the week, while more schools across the nation were ordered to close to protect students and teachers from the smog.

Picture credit: Facebook/Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia

The school closures resulted in over 1 and a half million students finding themselves out of school as Education Minister, Dr Maszlee Malik advised all students to stay home and reduce outdoor activities throughout the haze season.
Now, since the kids have no school, working parents have no one to watch their kids at home.
This has apparently pushed some parents to request medical certificates (MC) from health officers and doctors so they can stay home and watch their kids?
The issue was raised by Facebook user Dr Kamarul Ariffin, who explained the situation to his followers from a doctorâ€™s perspective.

Dr Kamarul AriffinPicture credit: Facebook

He discusses how such situations tend to arise every time schools are closed due to safety and health concerns, such as during haze, food poisoning, and chemical pollutions.
According to him, every time schools are closed, there will be parents who request for MCs.

He says that doctors feel guilty: on the one hand, these parents donâ€™t qualify for MC, but on the other hand, who else will take care of these children at home.
Some are of the opinion that doctors should address the requests on a case to case basis at their own discretion.
But Dr Kamarul believes that it is the employers of the parents who need to consider giving their employees the day off to watch their kids.

In fact, Dr Kamarul says it is better if the Education Ministry themselves can release a circular to employers of parents whose children are involved in school closures to confirm the fact and request that employees are allowed emergency leave.
He stresses that only patients qualify for MCs saying that clinics are full of sick people who have to wait longer to see doctors due to parents flooding clinics to request for MCs.
To him, the situation is unfair to patients who are actually sick, and unfair to parents as well, acknowledging that parents would not resort to requesting for MCs if there were other options besides leaving their kids alone at home.

At the end of his Facebook post, Dr Kamarul requests for a better environmental crisis management system put into place by the authorities, adding that if there is an existing procedure it needs to be made known.

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

A group of opposition lawmakers, including two civilians, lodged a police report over the Perikatan Nasional government’s alleged mismanagement of the Covid-19 pandemic today (25 July).

They were Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh, Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil, Klang MP Charles Santiago, Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii, Petaling Jaya MP Maria Chin Abdullah, Kota Belud MP Isnaraissah Munirah Majilis, Sepanggar MP Datuk Azis Jamman, and Datin Marina Mahathir.
Led by lawyer and human rights activist Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan, the group made the report at the Pantau police station.
We decided to lodge a report because we believe there must be accountability. Some of the issues that we highlighted include not enough early testing, the manner in which the government has failed to share (enough) information, mistreatment of migrant workers and not enough resources given to the hospitals Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasa.Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasa.
She explained that the report was made under Section 269 and Section 304 (a) of the Penal Code.
Section 269 reads: Whoever unlawfully or negligently does any act which is, and which he knows or has reason to believe to be, likely to spread the infection of any disease dangerous to life, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months or with fine or with both.
Section 304 (a) states: Whoever causes the death of any person, by doing any rash or negligence act not amounting to culpable homicide, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years or with fine or with both.
Amiga was the President of the Malaysian Bar Council from 2007 to 2009, and was former co-chairperson of Bersih, an NGO Coalition advocating for free and fair elections.

Drive-thru protest
Meanwhile, over the weekend, protesters all around Malaysia took their cars to the streets and waved black flags to show their dissatisfaction with the government’s handling of the pandemic.

[Watch] Brothers Aged Six And Three Take Vios Out For A Drive, Get Into Accident In Langkawi

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

People were stunned by a social media video that went viral early this morning of a white Toyota Vios being driven by a six-year-old who was with his three-year-old brother.

The two siblings allegedly wanted to visit a store 2.5 km away from their home without their parents’ knowledge.
According to Paultan, they both operated the vehicle with the older brother controlling the steering wheel and the younger sibling operating the accelerator pedal. However due to the collision, the car sustained significant damage on the front-left side.
Langkawi district police chief Assistant Commissioner Shariman Ashari confirmed that the incident happened at 11.15pm on 9 May in Simpang Kenyum, close to Kampung Titi Chanwang, Langkawi.
Berita Harian reported that the accident was believed to have happened when the car that was traveling from the direction of Kampung Ulu Melaka towards Kampung Nyiur Chabang skidded and hit a lamp post near Kampung Titi Chanwang.
The older brother suffered an injury to his forehead while the younger brother escaped with no injuries.
The case is being investigated under Section 43 of the Road Transport Act 1987 and Section 31(1) (a) of the Children Act 2001.

Expose Your Nose Or Mouth While Wearing Face Mask And Get Fined By Police

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

The Ministry of Health has given authority to the police to issue compounds to people who wear their face masks incorrectly.

According to The Star, police officers with the rank of Inspector and above can now issue compounds on the spot to those who do not abide by the appropriate mask-wearing guidelines, such as leaving their mouth and noses exposed.
Deputy Ipoh OCPD (Operations) Superintendent Lee Swee Sake noted that the compound will be paid directly to the Health Ministry, not to the police.
Additionally, if offenders fail to pay the compound within two weeks, they will be taken to court.
The mask has to cover the nose and mouth.(Credit: TRP)
This comes as certain members of the public still do not wear their masks properly. Instead, they pull the mask to rest under their noses or below the chin, exposing their mouth.
If (face masks are) not worn properly, it is akin to not wearing one.Superintendent Lee to The Star
The fines are not meant to be a punishment, but rather to create awareness for the public.
The Ministry of Health has been releasing guidelines on the proper way to wear face masks since the beginning of the pandemic.
However, as Malaysians are creative people, many like to wear their masks in creative ways, such as dangling it off an ear.
(Credit: Malay Mail)
Improper use of masks are dangerous and can end up spreading contaminants (including bacteria and viruses) to you instead.
The inner layer of the mask has to be kept clean and should not come into contact with areas already exposed to bacteria or virus or germs, as we’ve illustrated before here.
Although, if you really hate wearing masks, then you can just stay at home happily mask-free.

So if you thought CPR were only for humans, you thought wrong.
There are many videos on the internet on how to save your pets. It is actually very similar to human CPR too.
CPR basically helps restore the circulation by compressing the chest and by providing rescue breaths.

[Watch] Malaysian Holidaygoer Loses RM28,500, Allegedly Scammed By Online Travel Agency

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

Many holiday packages are offered either online or physically by travel agencies or private travel agents.

As usual, people will often buy the packages to take advantage of the cheap prices offered by these agents or companies.
Sometimes people get caught up and don’t notice that they are trapped or cheated.
Recently, a Facebook user named Zurich Teo said her friend was scammed after falling for a promotion offered by an online travel company that was advertised on Facebook.
A representative could be heard talking to prospective customers in a video clip that was uploaded alongside the post.
The representative explained how they could redeem deals on holiday packages offered by their company.
By clicking a link, customers would be directed to the travel agent’s webpage, where they can scroll through a series of popular vacation destinations across Malaysia, such as Semporna in Sabah and Langkawi in Kedah.

Customer Required To Download An App
Prices range from below RM1,000 upwards, with stays between 4-day-3-nights or 3-day-2-nights.
Customers are then directed to scroll down to the bottom of the webpage and download an application.

Upon finishing the installation, users must grant the app specific permissions for it to function correctly.
According to the representative, this is a must because staff members would contact customers through the app upon arrival at any of the vacation destinations.
Users can then select any listed destinations and purchase their vacation packages by paying a small deposit fee first.
Payment would then be made via a ‘payment gateway’ in the app.
Never Give Away The OTP
Teo claimed that the payment gateway failed to load when her friend tried to pay for the deposit.
The representative advised her friend to use a different bank to pay, but she refused.
A few days later, the representative called her friend again and said they had ‘forgotten’ to register her membership and needed to repeat the process.
A screenshot of the payment made. (Pix: Facebook)
The friend followed the steps as instructed, even paying a small amount for a ‘registration fee’.
After receiving the OTP for the transaction and keying it into the application, the friend found out that she had been scammed.
Teo alledged that the scammers also warned her friend via WhatsApp not to bring the matter to light.
Better Safe Than Sorry
To avoid being scammed by these fake travel agencies or travel agents, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia (MOTAC) has laid down guidelines to protect against phoney travel agents.
1. Make sure the agent/company has a valid license
To avoid being scammed, be sure to deal with an agent or company registered and licensed with MOTAC.
Companies that offer holiday packages or umrah packages must have a license, and to ensure their validity, they can refer to their license number.
You can take note of the company number or name and search on the MOTAC website or check here.
Sebelum ni banyak jugak kes-kes scam oleh travel agent dan umrah agent. Even promoted by influencer and celebrities pun masih boleh scam orang jugak! Scary kan? Apa persamaan scammer ni? Mereka TIDAK BERDAFTAR dengan Kementerian Pelancongan, Seni dan Budaya Malaysia atau MOTAC.— safartrips 🇲🇾 (@safartrips) September 16, 2020
2. Make sure the company exists/is still active
Sometimes, the company may have had its license terminated or not renewed, sometimes because they make mistakes.
So, you can check their status on the MOTAC website or contact any MOTAC office to get the company status.
In addition to the website or through a phone call, you can also refer to the MyMOTAC application.
You can check the list of travel agents registered with the ministry and the rating of a hotel.

Bulan lepas saya ada beli pakej hotel murah tau tau sekarang diam tanpa khabar berita. 😭😭😭😭😭 mohon tiada lagi yang kena tipu dengan dia ni. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/2lr7nJ8pEA— fal (@falihah__) September 15, 2020
3. Package info
Make sure the package info offered is complete. Whether an umrah package or a holiday package, check all the information in detail and what is included in their offer.
Things to pay attention to include; round trip flight ticket, visa (if required), type and location of the accommodation offered, food (if provided), full holiday/umrah itinerary, insurance and travel documents.
Apa nk hairan pakej umrah dan haji pun ada yg nipu dan malangnya Melayu Tipu Melayu— HBT 🇲🇾 🌺 (@abasirhb) May 31, 2022
4. Terms and conditions
Ensure you understand all the terms and conditions for the holiday package or umrah package.
It should be noted that you understand the agent’s responsibilities; for umrah package, you need to know your rights as an umrah pilgrim and if its a holiday package, make sure you know your rights as a tourist.
In addition, be sure to read correctly the terms and conditions that apply, especially the cancellation and compensation section if you cancel or request a change of date and so on.
5. Make sure you deal in the agent’s office
If you are satisfied and want to complete the booking and package purchase, make sure you do so at the travel agent’s office to help prevent you from becoming a victim of scams.
Usually, victims who agents deceive do business outside the office or through WhatsApp only or a third party.
If you are in doubt about the agent’s identity, take the name, ask for a business card and so on.
Acapkali dengar jemaah kena tipu 🤕Kalau boleh mak ayah pakcik makcik atok nenek smua tolong cek agen tersebut. Kesianlah dh berharap pergi bt umrah last2 xjadi duit songlap.. bkn semang nak kumpul 😢— 🍃.Ummi Maher. 💑👶 (@Zaujahirawansya) December 6, 2019
6. Payments and receipts
Payment can usually be made to the agent through cash or online transactions.
Any agency must issue a receipt of payment received. On the receipt, ensure the amount for which the package is paid, either in hard copy or via email.
Online payments must be made directly to the travel agency’s account and not to a third party.
No matter what story is used, be sure to continue to make payments to the agency’s account.
Usually, unscrupulous agents run away after money goes into their accounts.

Crime Journalist Tom Wright Claimed He & Bradley Hope Help Prevent Rosmah From Receiving Unesco Award In 2016

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

Award-winning journalist Tom Wright claimed he and partner Bradley Hope had taken it upon themselves to make sure that Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor did not receive Unesco’s “Lead by Example” award in 2016.

In a Twitter thread, Wright said that he and Hope had rung the organisation after finding out that Rosmah was listed as the award recipient from Unesco during the 71st United Nations General Assembly.
Another quick story on Rosmah, before we move on, this time about how she used the UN and charity to burnish her image, all while stealing millions.— Tom Wright (@TomWrightAsia) September 2, 2022
“In September 2016, the UN was going to honour Rosmah with an award at a gala dinner at the Met in New York for her work with a children’s charity.
“This was AFTER numerous media reports had come out about Rosmah’s corruption. The charity also was mainly funded with Malaysian state money, not her personal funds,” he said.
After failing to convince Unesco to drop Rosmah from receiving the award, the former Wall Street Journal reporters then contacted another recipient, Nicholas Kristof, who was supposed to receive the award alongside Rosmah.
So we called UNESCO and told them, but they still wanted to give the award. @NickKristof of the New York Times was also an awardee, so we also emailed him, and to his credit he declined to accept an award alongside Rosmah.— Tom Wright (@TomWrightAsia) September 2, 2022
Rosmah supposedly was to receive Unesco’s ‘Lead by Example’ award for her effort in developing children’s potential through the Permata programme on 22 September at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, New York.
The Permata programme for early childhood education in Malaysia is Rosmah’s brainchild.
However, MalaysiaKini reported on 16 September 2016 that the award was not handed by Unesco.
Instead, the report stated that the award was issued by Antiquities Coalition, but it was confirmed that Rosmah did not receive the award that year as the Permata programme was removed from the list of honourees by the organiser.

Online Teaching And Learning Would Still Go On, Says Education Minister

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

Home Teaching and Learning (PdPR) sessions will still need to be continued even though most students have started face-to-face learning in schools, said Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin.

Berita Harian quoted the Minister who mentioned that the decision has taken into account the student rotation system that was being implemented at the moment.
Radzi added that although PdPR is not done daily, it is important to ensure that students are always in contact with their teachers.
However, the current PdPR is a little different in that it focuses on the preparation of materials needed by students, especially things that are difficult to understand before they enter school and follow the PdP session face-to-face. This (PdPR) is an approach that needs to be done so that the students can continue with the teacher to follow their learning even if not every day, but it is so important to always communicate with the teacher.Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin
Commenting on preparations for the possibility of floods following the monsoon season at the end of this year that might disrupt the teaching and learning activities, Radzi said the Ministry would make appropriate preparations based on current needs and circumstances.
We do not rule out the possibility that there will be certain areas or schools that will be vulnerable to floods. However, our action will be based on the needs and current situation to face the monsoon season so that the school session runs smoothly without interruption until the end of this term.Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin

UiTM Johor Student Allegedly Sexually Harassed By Lecturer In 2021

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

A 23-year-old university student Farah @fazzuinnn claimed that a lecturer in Johor Baru sexually harassed her in 2021 but she kept it to herself due to fear.

According to her police report, she first approached the lecturer for help with her assignment.
During that interaction, he messaged her via Whatsapp for help to answer a survey he was conducting. She saw that the questions were sex-related but thought nothing much about it because she trusted the lecturer.
She also didn’t think anything was untoward because sometimes students were asked to answer surveys in universities.
How its start. Masa ni chat sir sbb nak tanya pasal assignment since i kurang faham. And dia tanya boleh tak tolong dia jadi responden as u can see. So as student kiteorg dah biasa kena jawab kaji selidik ni so tak expect apa2 buruk pun even after sir sent pic.twitter.com/fKHQxnFKTi— Fai (@awwinnn_) August 16, 2022
On 2 June 2021, the lecturer called her around 12.30am and kept saying sexual things to her. He told her about his fantasies of having sex with her and asked her to join him to do the deed.
Feeling an increasing distrust against the lecturer, Farah decided to record the conversation as evidence.
She later found out from some senior students that they never received the same sex-related survey as she had. This made her believe that there never was a legit survey and she felt sexually harassed by the lecturer.
She felt increasingly uncomfortable with the situation but decided to lodge a police report after a year to stop the lecturer from doing the same to other students. Farah said she also lodged the report in case anything happened to her.
Lepas 1 tahun lebih kes ni . Baru harini ada keberanian nak cerita dekat public. Selamani diamkan diri serahkan semuanya dekat polis&uitm. But till now still nothing. pic.twitter.com/25e9b7qdeR— Fai (@awwinnn_) August 16, 2022
According to Majoriti, Farah lodged two police reports against the lecturer. The lecturer had the audacity to visit her at home and begged her to retract her report.
Farah recorded that conversation as well and the lecturer could be heard promising in Allah’s name not to do the lewd acts again.
She added that the lecturer is still teaching at the university.
  @fazzuinnn Replying to @Fai ♬ original sound  – Fai
The lecturer is from another university
According to Buzzkini, Farah said the lecturer was allegedly helping a friend at another university to get enough responses for the survey.
The lecturer used the letterhead of another university on the survey cover as a ruse to get her to answer his fake survey.
She shared that the lecturer in question was just a lecturer who was ‘borrowed’ from a university nearby because the campus Farah attends was short of staff.

Farah told Buzzkini that the university is still waiting for updates from the police. She was shocked when the lecturer told the university that the matter has been personally resolved with her.
When she contacted the investigating officer (IO) to seek confirmation of the news, the officer confirmed with her that her case hasn’t been dropped at all and asked who told her otherwise.
Farah hopes that the matter will be resolved soon because it has gone on for a year.
I really want the police to speed up the case because I’ve waited so long. So far, only the university contacted me.Farah
Screenshot of the text Farah shared with Buzzkini. Image: Farah
The university has reached out to her
A few netizens believe that the same lecturer started harassing female students in 2011 but no action had been taken.
They urged Farah not to retract her police reports to help protect other students from being victims.
Netizens also want the university to suspend the lecturer while investigations are ongoing.
After her posts went viral, a special officer of UiTM’s vice-chancellor named Yusof reached out to her on Twitter and urged her to call the university’s integrity department.

2 men apprehended for trying to sell 400 stolen raw chickens

Talk about a case of bad c-luck.

Two men were arrested in Sungai Petani, Kedah yesterday
after they were caught red hen-ded trying to sell off 400 raw chickens
which they had stolen the night before.
According to police, the two local suspects (a 21-year-old and a 26-year-old) were appre-hen-ded at around dawn while they were busy fixing-up shop, arranging the chickens which they apparently stole from a chicken processing plant.
Apparently, the owner of the processing plant had noticed that his facility had been broken into during the wee hours of the morning.

Police are currently still looking for the third suspect of the flock.

M’sian Employers Federation Warns That More People Will Lose Their Jobs After Raya

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

The Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) warns that a wave of lay-offs will likely occur just after Raya because companies are struggling to stay afloat after the detrimental economical effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Speaking to Free Malaysia Today, MEF executive director Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan explained that the retrenchments would most probably occur after the festivities as bosses would try to keep their staff until then.
The crunch will be coming after the celebration.Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan via FMT
He said that the country’s largest federation of employers expects more than two million people to lose their jobs. This number includes fresh graduates and 610,000 people who were already unemployed before March 2020.
According to Shamsuddin, many employers are currently borrowing money or using their savings to pay staff’s salaries, and proposed that new laws are created to help employers.
Let’s be realistic, we need new laws to help bosses deal with overheads.Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan via FMT
Among the moves he proposed was to lower the employer’s share of their Employees Provident Fund (EPF) payments from 11% to just 5%.

He also suggested a fixed ceiling rate for salary cuts and flexible working hours as a compromise with worker unions who disagree with reducing wages and working hours, saying these moves would be consistent with the global transition towards the “new normal”.
He added that the burden of keeping overheads low and staff employed should be borne by everyone.
Meanwhile, speaking about the directive by the Federal Territories Minister to stop foreigners from working at wholesale markets in Kuala Lumpur, Shamsuddin said that he felt the government has been doing a good job of clearing migrant hot spots in the city, adding that with migrant workers gone, the market is now cleaner and more attractive to locals.
It feels much safer too.Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan via FMT
Acknowledging that hiring locals would incur more costs, he concluded that in the long run, employers would save more money as they wouldn’t have to deal with levies and legal documents, adding that there were up to 1,500 full-time or part-time vacancies for locals now.
He also posited that with migrant workers being pushed out, locals will be more inclined to open shops in the city centre, saying that locals have not been doing so over concerns on the growing number of migrant workers in the area.

Police Confiscates Parcel With Cannabis Toothpaste Addressed To “Rafizi and Anwar”

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

The police have seized a parcel containing a tube of toothpaste that’s suspected to contain cannabis extract in a parcel addressed to “YB Mohd Rafizi Bin Ramli & Anwar Ibrahim” in Prisma Tower, Putrajaya (where the Ministry of Economy is headquartered).

An officer working in the inquiry office of the Ministry of Economy lodged a police report after receiving a call from the Pulau Meranti J&T delivery service hub.
Sepang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said that based on the information received, it was suspected that the parcel contained prohibited items since the office received a parcel containing ‘cannabis leaf’ last week.
On 10 March, two police officers and the complainant went to the delivery centre in Sepang around 6.30pm where the parcel was confiscated.
According to Malay Mail, the investigation found that the confiscated items had no connection with the addressees.

Inside the parcel was a tube of toothpaste labelled “Happy Green” with patterns of marijuana leaves in green and white.
The toothpaste came in a brown box and weighed 80g.
The police said the item was bought through an online shopping platform using an address in Indonesia.
The case is being investigated under Section 6 of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 by the Putrajaya police’s narcotics division.
Section 6 deals with the restriction on the possession of raw opium, coca leaves, poppy-straw, and cannabis.

Cameron Highlands Has A Mossy Forest That Looks Like A Scene From LOTR

The tropical climate and extensive rainforests in Malaysia, with its huge diversity of animal and plant species, makes it one of the most beautiful travel destinations for nature lovers across the globe.
In fact, itâ€™s so amazing that one of the popular forests in Malaysia has made Lonely Planetâ€™s list of the most Instagrammable forests in the world.
The forest in question is none other than the famous and enchanting Mossy Forest. A forest which many people have likened to a mythical forest out of the Lord of The Rings movie!
Where Mossy Forest Is
(Credit: Jom Jalan)
Mossy Forest grows only at the highest elevations of Mount Brinchang, 2,032 metres above sea level.
As the name suggests, Mossy Forest is a lush area in the hills of Mount Brinchang where thick and rich layers of moss drape tree trunks and buttresses, completely encapsulating the landscape.
Mount Brinchang is among the seven mountains in Cameron Highlands that are more than 1,500 metres high and part of the Titiwangsa Range which forms a part of the Central Forest Spine of Peninsular Malaysia.
Why Mossy Forest Is So Special

Mossy Forest is one of the worldâ€™s only cloud forests. Also called tropical montane cloud forest, only 1% of the global woodland consists of such forests.
At such heights, low-level clouds blanket the forest with a constant mix of mist and moisture, creating a damp, gloomy and chilly environment.
These moisture-rich conditions are perfect for moss, primitive ferns, lichen as well as exotic plants such as the pitcher plant, orchids, spices and medicinal herbs to grow wildly.
The forest is also home to ancient trees and is thought to be one of the oldest forests in Malaysia, assumed to be around 200 million years old.

In an effort to preserve this valuable natural environment, the government has built an elevated boardwalk that meanders between trees and under the canopy of leaves for about 150 metres through the Mossy Forest.
Perched along the walk is also a 50-metre tall observation tower that offers a spectacular view of the mountain ranges around Cameron Highlands
How to visit
Exotic plants found in the mossy forest include the pitcher plant and beautiful orchids. (Credit: Eco Cameron)
There are a few ways to hike through the forest. Some seasoned hikers prefer to explore the forest trails on their own.
However, there are about 14 trails to explore in these mountains which means that many hikers that go out on their own often end up missing the Mossy Forest completely.
The best way is to actually hire a local tour operator who will take you through to all the must-see parts of the Mossy Forest and show you interesting plants that grow in the forest.

If you do end up hiking to the Mossy Forest, make it a point to preserve the beauty of the forest by only walking on the boardwalk or the cleared trails and avoid stepping onto the moss.
At one point, the government had to close the forest to hikers and tourists because too many people were trampling through the forest and destroying the moss.
Meanwhile, if you end up venturing deep into the forest, watch out for snakes and jungle cats that roam the hills.
The forest is best visited in the morning while the mist shrouds the forest. Wear proper walking shoes and a jacket to keep yourself warm as the weather can get chilly.

“This Is The Rakyat’s Fault, Politicians Are Only Trying to Rectify The Situation,” Says Umno MP Zahidi

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

The current political turmoil in Malaysia was caused by the rakyat who voted for Pakatan Harapan (PH) as the government in the 2018 general election, said Padang Besar MP Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin.

Zahidi, who is a deputy minister in the Perikatan Nasional (PN) federal government, and the same dude who accused Veveonah Mosibin of lying last month, said the people should not blame politicians for the current state of affairs in the country, adding that “politicians” were merely trying to rectify the situation.
Zahidi made the statement while responding to a question by members of the media.

https://twitter.com/TypicalMsian/status/1320667907139854338

A clip of the response was shared on Twitter yesterday evening by user @TypicalMsian and it has since garnered a total of about 11.9K retweets.
The rakyat decided and made the current situation the way it is. Politicians are only trying to rectify the situation. So how are we going to fix it? Well, that’s what we should be talking about.Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin via Twitter
He said the state of the economy and current political impasse was caused by the previous PH government who had been voted in by the rakyat during the last general election.
The rakyat only voted for PH because they were duped.Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin via Twitter
He added that Malaysians had been duped by PH’s promises, many of which were never fulfilled, and were now paying for it.
Malaysian Twitter users were understandably annoyed with Zahidi over his statement. One Twitter user, in particular, pointed out that Zahidi has managed to piss off the rakyat on a monthly basis.
Dia ni memang ada KPI kebodohan setiap bulan ka apa?— Hashim Zain🇲🇾 (@hashim_hudson) October 26, 2020
Another sarcastically agreed to his statement that politicians are working to rectify the situation with a clever meme.
“Orang politik hanya nak betulkan kesalahan rakyat” pic.twitter.com/Dkf7OAktuL— emeir (@emeirkhalif) October 26, 2020
Nt time nak mengundi nt jgn cari rakyat naa.. cari ahli politik, kroni,kgkwan,sedara mara hang undi lah hangpa sesama sendiri. Dasar tak sedar diri naik jd menteri dan ada kuasa pun sebab rakyat jugak. 😪— Adn’ Ahmad (@nadnahmad) October 26, 2020
While a few others highlighted that Zahidi’s response reflects the mentality of Malaysian politicians who have so far not taken any responsibility for the rising cases in Sabah following the state elections held there.
Now aku faham kenapa diorang takde rasa bersalah sikit pun kes naik mendadak selepas mengundi haritu, ooo begini rupanya pemikiran diorang, patutlahh….— senn🇲🇾🇲🇾 (@tomyamyamya) October 26, 2020
Taik anjing dia lah nak betulkan keadaan konon. Habistu yang pilihan raya dekat sabah tu betulkan keadaan ke? Now look what happened to our country. We almost make it,tapi sebab orang sial macam dia lah kes naik balik. Hah yalah pakcik rakyat salah. Kau ja lah terpaling betul— w (@xiaoryn) October 26, 2020

Did You Know That There Are Various Types Of Ketupat In Malaysia? Here Are 5 Of Them

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

Quick. What’s the most common food you think of when it’s Raya?

For us, it’s KETUPAT!
This Malaysian Ketupat or ‘packed rice’ comes in different shapes and sizes. They are incredibly popular during Eid festivities, especially on Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Some can be eaten by themselves and some can be eaten with side dishes such as Kuah Kacang (Peanut Sauce), Rendang and many more.
Here are some of the common and also rare types of ketupat found here in Malaysia.
Let’s check them out.
1. Ketupat Bawang
This ketupat is diamond or square-shaped and its shell is made with woven coconut palm leaves. It is called bawang (onions) because the shape of the shell resembles an onion.
(Credit: Halalogy)
The way to prepare this ketupat is the same as others, which is to fill in rice and boil it in a pot. Only the shape is different from the rest of the ketupat. If you wanna learn how to weave this type of ketupat shell, take a look at this link below.

2. Ketupat Palas
 Now, this ketupat is popular in the East Coast states like Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang. In the northern states, this type ketupat even has genders!
(Credit: Rasa)
Ketupat Palas Jantan or male has a little bit more rice at the end of the wrap and the wrap is a bit more firm and neat. Meanwhile, the Ketupat Palas Betina or   female has no extra rice and the wrap is not that neat.
(Credit: Mamapaparea / Blog)
For the filling, this ketupat is a bit different as they use glutinous rice cooked with rich and creamy coconut milk. The shell is made from Palas leaves and the way to cook this ketupat is by either boiling it or steaming it.
(Credit: @MawarSiti4 / Twitter)
Another fun fact about this Ketupat Palas is that it has a variety of flavours! The filling can be nuts, corn, meat floss, black glutinous rice and also plain. Even the plain one is delicious enough, others are simply a joy to explore!
3. Ketupat Nasi
This type of ketupat is called so because the filling is just regular rice, packed in a shell made from coconut leaves. They are also called ‘nasi impit‘. You can prepare this ketupat by steaming it inside a pot.
(Credit: Gempak)
Nowadays, you can see this menu in instant square plastics, and it often comes along with Satay and Kuah Kacang. Besides that, it can also be eaten with Lodeh, Soto and also Rendang.

4. Ketupat Borneo
Also known as Burasak, this dish is rarely served in Penisular Malaysia because it is well known among the Bugis ethnic in Sabah. This is their traditional menu that they have with their Ayam Masak Merah, Ayam Masak Likku and Asam Pedas Ikan Parang.
(Credit: Kuali)
Also called Buras, this dish is prepared by steaming the rice with coconut milk and wrapping it in Pisang Nipah leaves.

At one glance, you might mistake it for a Lepat Pisang but this one looks particularly wider and bigger than the banana flavoured kuih.
5. Ketupat Sotong
This dish is also called ‘Sotong Sumbat‘ or stuffed squid as the squids are stuffed with glutinous rice cooked with coconut milk.
(Credit: Iluminasi)
This traditional dish is more popular in fishing villages on the East Coasts like Kelantan and Terengganu as their supply of squid during the squid season is abundant.
Waw, there are actually a lot of types of ketupat. And you thought there were only two, huh? Well, now you know.
Now go change the topic and share your precious findings with your aunties and uncles when they ask “When are you getting married” during this Raya.
All the best! Don’t say we didn’t try to help!

[Watch] Man Armed With Bow And Arrow Stalked A Stray Dog And Shot It In The Face

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

Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar (SAFM) posted a video on Instagram showing a man hunting and killing a stray dog with a bow and arrow in broad daylight.

The man followed the stray dog that was hiding around parked vehicles and shot the dog in its face.
The stray dog could be heard yelping in the video when the arrow struck its face.
The animal rights activist group said the poor dog was found dead with the arrow still pierced through its face.
SAFM said it doesn’t believe the dog posed any danger to the suspect and pointed out the suspect’s cruelty.
Why would this cruel person prey on dogs as part of his archery training?Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar (SAFM) wrote in its Instagram caption.
        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Malaysian Animal Organization (@animal.org.my)
What’s upsetting is that it’s not the first time the group had reported that an animal had been cruelly killed by an inhumane archer.

Anyone with information on the perpetrator is encouraged to come forward. They can Whatsapp SAFM’s Hotline at 0162662007 or get in touch via their website.
Under the Animal Welfare Act 2015, those guilty of hurting animals can face up to three years’ jail term, a fine of between RM20,000 and RM100,000, or both.
Those who want to practice their archery skills are advised to do so in an appropriate place.
There are better ways to manage stray dog populations
Independent Pet Adoption Network (IPAN) co-founder Catherine Leyow said there’s no excuse for shooting own a stray, The Star reported.
She added that it’s understandable that some people aren’t comfortable with stray dogs in their area, but that doesn’t mean they should commit such inhumane acts.
There are other better ways to manage the stray dog populations such as the ‘trap, neuter and release’ programmes in some communities.
Catherine further explained that community dogs are assets because they can keep the population of vermins such as rats under control in neighbourhoods.
In some cases, she said the dogs have been known to protect residents from burglars and attacks.

The Winners & Losers Of Covid-19 In Malaysia (So Far)

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

The Rakyat
If there’s one thing the Covid-19 pandemic has revealed, it’s the starkness of the wealth divide and basic access to thousands of Malaysians.
While some had a comfortable home to work from or take online classes, others had to go to great lengths to reach that.
Recently a Sabah university student made headlines for spending 24 hours on a tree just to get a good enough internet connection to take her examinations online.

E-wallet adoption saw a rise during the Movement Control Order (MCO) while others saw their bank accounts depleting.
An online backlash grew in May when it was revealed that Pos Malaysia was not giving its staff bonuses this year despite the strong rise in customers using their parcel delivery services.

They deserve more pay. pic.twitter.com/CQjTvPn4gf— Toon Seri Anthraxxxx (@anthraxxxx) May 17, 2020

The dire situations of those left hungry due to the MCO prompted various groups of Malaysians to begin caremongering, notably with the Kita Jaga Kita initiative where food supplies and cash donations were handed out to the poor and homeless.
The Businesses
Retail, tourism, aviation and hospitality were among the biggest casualties.
Huge hotel chains permanently closed their doors alongside retail outlets and restaurants.

Holiday Inn Resort Penang Closes After Four Decades

Malaysia’s largest publisher, BluInc Media also surprisingly closed down in the midst of the lockdown.
Despite the uptick in users by food delivery platforms, Grab is laying off 360 staff members.
Small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) shuttered, employees were put on voluntary leave, had their salaries slashed or retrenched.
The Statistics Department then released a report that Malaysia’s unemployment rate in April had hit a 30 year high at 5% with 700,000 people losing their jobs.

However, there is one clear winner – Malaysia’s glove industry.
Supplying 65% of the global rubber gloves, Malaysia is the world’s top producer.
The signs were there as early as February when virus fears were just starting to hit.
The Star had reported after Chinese New Year, hospital and healthcare-related players saw their share prices moving upward during the first few days of the week as the number of coronavirus cases continued to rise.
As demands for personal protective equipment rise during the pandemic, Bloomberg reported that Malaysia has essentially become a hotbed for creating new ultra-wealthy individuals in the sector.
In fact, two new individuals in the glove making industry have become Malaysia’s newest billionaires from the pandemic.

The industry is also expected to rake in more profits as healthcare becomes a top concern globally with outbreaks continuing in several countries.
They’re not the only winners, though. Companies producing surgical masks and hand sanitisers are also reaping in rewards with these items sold out at most pharmacies and convenience stores.
The managing director of Bioalpha Holdings Bhd, which runs Constant Pharmacy, William Hong, told The Star that they’ve been seeing the products flying off shelves.
He also noted surging sales for health supplement products, particularly those used to improve respiratory health and strengthen the immune system.

Malaysian soldier charms cobra, AND the Internet using just one finger (VIDEO)

Malaysians donâ€™t really think about our armed forces unless itâ€™s Merdeka day or when Mat Sabu opens his mouth. We donâ€™t generally wage wars on anyone so most of the time we assume our armed forces arenâ€™t very impressive.
Well, yâ€™all gonna be impressed by this!

A post shared by  Segak Berseragam (@segak_berseragam) on Jul 3, 2019 at 8:23pm PDT

Instagram account @segak_berseragam earlier today shared a video of one of our soldiers charming a cobra using just his eyes, and his hand (possibly even just one finger!).
The soldier, who is face to face with an aggressive cobra, looks the snake dead in the eyes, and starts to stretch his arm upwards.
At first, itâ€™s not entirely clear what it is heâ€™s trying to do (is this some weird silat move?) , but then you start to realise that his right arm is being lowered onto the cobraâ€™s head.
The cobra doesnâ€™t realise whatâ€™s happening until he is entirely flat on the ground and before he can react, the soldier wrangles him.

via GIPHY
Just four hours after posting, the video already has 16.3K views. Netizens were absolutely charmed by this snake charmer.

“You charm a cobra so easily, I can’t imagine how well you must charm women…ok byeee”
“This soldier has received acknowledgement for his skills from the higher ups. His video is viral in all the army camp groups”

Weâ€™re pretty sure thatâ€™s one soldier weâ€™d never want to hiss off…
