Facts About Nick Fury You Might Not Know

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

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) made a great impact in the movie industry and is dored by Marvel fans worldwide.

The MCU has given fans some iconic characters such as Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow.
There is however another noteworthy character, and while he may not be “super”, has always played an essential role in the MCU Saga.
It is none other than Nick Fury played by Samuel L. Jackson. Fury’s first appearance in the MCU was in the first Iron Man movie, which was the beginning of the MCU saga.
With the recent release of the new Marvel series, Secret Invasion which centres around Fury, there is no time like right now to get to know him a little better.
Former S.H.I.E.L.D Director

With the help of the World Security Council, Fury oversaw the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division (S.H.I.E.L.D.), where he dealt with a considerable increase of enhanced people, risky advanced technology, and alien contact.
Fury has always worked behind the scenes, coordinating intricate operations and mobilising resources to defend the world against numerous dangers as the former leader of this covert intelligence agency.
Formed The Avengers Initiative
Pic credit Disney+
If you have seen the first Avengers movie, then you would remember how Fury brought the first six avengers together as a team to defeat Loki and his army of Chitahuri. The idea to form a group of superheroes came to him after meeting with Captain Marvel a.k.a Carol Danvers.
Following his encounter with Captain Marvel, Fury concluded that Earth’s resources, even in the face of interplanetary threats, were insufficient to protect the world. To safeguard everyone, he founded the “Avengers Initiative,” formerly known as the “Protector Initiative,” a group made up of the strongest heroes on earth.
He was also responsible in recruiting Captain America for Avengers. This can be seen in the famous gym post-credit scene in Captain America: First Avenger.
Best Agent And Friend Maria Hill
Pic credit Disney+
If you have followed the Marvel Saga, then you would know that Maria Hill has always been a constant character in Fury’s life. She served as S.H.I.E.L.D.’s former Deputy Director and Commander before Fury made her his right-hand woman.
In addition, when Fury was attacked by HYDRA, Hill helped Fury disappear by successfully faking his death. She then collaborated with Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon to reveal HYDRA’s presence and put an end to Project Insight.
She is one of his best agents because of her persistent loyalty, reliability, and shared commitment to their cause. She regularly exhibits a profound comprehension of Fury’s intents, ideas, and motivations as his buddy.
Betrayal Part Of Fury’s Life
Pic credit Disney+
Fury’s confidence has been betrayed numerous times, most notably by Alexander Pierce, a fellow soldier whose revelation of his actual allegiance as a Hydra spy dealt him a fatal blow.
An assassination attempt against Fury was carried out under Pierce’s direction. Fury’s fortitude demonstrates that even in the face of betrayal, he continues to be a powerful force to be reckoned with in a world rife with treachery.
How The Eye-Patch Began
Pic credit Disney+
One would remember Fury’s famous quote in the Avengers where he said: “Last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye.”
Fury’s black leather eye patch has always been a mystery since his appearance in the MCU. Fans have conjectured and theorised about the backstory for years. In the 2019 film Captain Marvel, it was made clear that Fury lost his eye because of an unanticipated injury from Goose, a Flerken, an alien species Mar-Vell brought to Earth.
Good Soldier
Pic credit Disney+
From an article by Marvel, it was said that Fury is a master of all combat tactics, strategies, and scenarios, and he is not afraid to get his hands dirty. His knowledge of weapons ranges from lighter, more portable weapons like the Smith & Wesson M&P handgun he often carries to far bigger weapons like missile launchers.
He maintains composure in combat, although he can become harsh when dealing with agents that he perceives as being disruptive or disobedient. Those who know Fury best describe him as a fine man, yet one who is frequently compromised by his unwavering devotion and sense of responsibility.
Fury’s Famous Quotes In MCU
Screenshot from Youtube
Fury is known for his savage dialogues and quotes across the MCU. If you ask a Marvel fan, the first thing that would come to mind about Fury is his favourite quote: “Motherf*”.
It was made even more iconic when he was not allowed to finish it in Infinity war when he vanished due to the snap.
Other than that, here are some of his famous quotes:
“Well let me know if real power wants a magazine or something.” – Fury to Loki when they succefully captured him and brought him to SHIELD’s ship.
“I recognize the Council has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid-ass decision, I have elected to ignore it.” – Fury on the Council’s decision to release a nuclear warhead during the war scene between the Avengers and the Chitahuri army.
“B**** please, you’ve been to space.” – Fury to Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Far From Home when Peter said that the job is too big for him when he was recruited by Fury to work together with Mysterio.

It seems that a recent video posted on TikTok caught the attention of Malaysians recently for saying that Kuala Lumpur is one of the most dangerous cities in Asia.

Uploaded by user Ethan Luke on the social media platform, the video stated that Kuala Lumpur has an overall crime risk rating of medium with vandalism, theft and robberies being the most likely crimes to occur.

Others, however, agreed with the video, but blamed the Perodua Myvi, one of the most infamous local vehicles as the reason why Malaysia is so dangerous.

But is Kuala Lumpur a dangerous city?
It’s reported that Kuala Lumpur is ranked 35th out of 60 cities in the Safe Cities Index 2019, scoring 66.3 points overall which is a from 2017’s index, where the capital was ranked as the 31st safest city.
The city scored above average for personal safety, which measured factors such as:

Based on the stats from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), Kuala Lumpur tops the list in the country with a crime index ratio of 529.3 in 2019 – almost double compared to Selangor which is 304.3.

Meanwhile, a study by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies say that 42.4% of the total index crimes in Malaysia between 2010 and 2017 occurred in the states of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
The most common crimes cited were unarmed robbery and vehicle theft although the number of reported cases have been decreasing between 2010 and 2017.
The US Department of State has also assessed that Kuala Lumpur is a High-Threat location for crime directed at or affecting official US government interests.
This includes around-the-clock street crime that occurs primarily in densely populated urban centers and affects locals and foreigners alike. U.S. Department of State Overseas Security Advisory Council
The report stated that the most common crimes include petty theft (particularly purse snatching and pickpocketing), smash-and-grab thefts from vehicles, and residential burglaries. Violent and more serious crimes are considerably less common.

Other types of common non-violent criminal activity include credit card fraud, ATM-skimming, and cybercrime.
However, Kuala Lumpur has seen a drop in crime recently, due to the Movement Control Order (MCO) and crime prevention methods, based on reports by The Star.
It was also reported by the Straits Times that between 18 March to 31 March, the crime index in the city went down by 57.4%, compared to the same period a year ago.

Rosmah’s Final Bid To Disqualify Gopal Sri Ram From Prosecuting In Her Corruption Trial Ends In Failure

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

The Federal Court has dismissed Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s appeal to seek declaratory relief to disqualify Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram as the prosecuting lawyer in her solar hybrid project trial.

The decision was unanimously reached by a three-man panel chaired by the Federal Court judge Justice Mohd Zawawi Salleh today. Other judges on the bench were Justices Vernon Ong Lam Kiat and Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah.
According to Justice Mohd Zawawi, the criminal court has no jurisdiction to grant the declaratory relief sought by Rosmah.
“We are in agreement with the reason proffered by the Court of Appeal. We are of the opinion that there is no inherent jurisdiction of the criminal court to grant declaratory relief,” he said.
Mohd Zawawi was referring to the Court of Appeal (CoA) dismissal of Rosmah’s appeal on 6 December 2021.
In delivering the decision, CoA judge, Justice Hanipah Farikullah, who chaired a three-member bench, said the Criminal Procedure Code did not allow a criminal court to give Rosmah any declaratory relief, a civil remedy sought under the Specific Relief Act.
In her graft trial, Rosmah is accused of receiving a total of RM6.5mil from Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd managing director Saidi Abang Samsudin between 20 December 2016 and 7 September 2017.
She is also charged with soliciting a RM187.5mil bribe out of a total of RM1.25bil project awarded to Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd, through her former aide turned prosecutor witness, Datuk Rizal Mansor.
The High Court is set to deliver the case’s verdict on 7 July.

91YO Sarawak Veteran Denied Malaysian Citizenship After Serving The Country

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

Malaysians were fretful to find out that a 91-year-old Sarawakian veteran who served the country following Merdeka was forgone the right to citizenship for over 60 years.

An article published by Borneo Post highlighted the tale of a man named Basar Paru, a retired border scout who served during the Malaysia-Indonesia confrontation and the Communist insurgency that occurred between the 60s and late 80s.
Turning 92 this June, Besar was born in Kalimantan, Indonesia but migrated across the border – building a home and raising a family in Sarawak since the late 50s. He spent 10 years of his life patrolling the borders of Long Semado in Lawas.
Basar’s daughter Orpah shares that her father made multiple attempts throughout the decades to attain Malaysian citizenship, to no avail.
He had applied many times in the past with many trips to JPN (National Registration Department) Lawas and JPN Miri. Only in 2013, he was given permanent resident status or MyPR.Orpah via Borneo Post
Orpah confessed that her father was distressed and dreams only of being recognised as a citizen, not just because of his contributions to the country, but because his children and grandchildren were all Malaysians.
He wants the blue-coloured MyKad and we as his children have to console him each time he becomes sullen when we tell him that his application is still being processed.Orpah via Borneo Post
Orpah explained that without citizenship, her elderly father is unable to receive benefits like free healthcare and welfare assistance.
Apparently, Besar shares the same fate as three other former border scouts who’ve been denied citizenship.
As much as we want his dream to come true, he is too old to go to JPN back and forth. In fact, he said maybe they would only approve his application when he is no longer around. How much longer does he have to wait to be given his citizenship?Orpah via Borneo Post
Netizens who were made aware of Besar’s story conveyed their dissatisfaction that the veteran hasn’t been reciprocated for his service to the country.
This is just ridiculous! Why? These guys served the country with dignity. It’s not like they stole from the people or some Yayasan etc. They protected us! Come on la Malaysia! https://t.co/uXjKsZBAmb— Nik Rizal Kamil (@rizalos11) February 18, 2022
This is a real disgrace and something all of us Malaysians should be ashamed of. He was willing to risk his life for the country and we do not reciprocate. Thank you sir for your service to Malaysia and we wish you well https://t.co/sgYSHWYVp3— Sridharan Nair (@Sri_PwC) February 19, 2022
Others claim that the problem of people not being granted citizenship was widespread in East Malaysia.
You be suprised orang pendalaman especially dayak people banyak takda IC. https://t.co/3BcJOFaDH5— AryneJames🏳🌈🏴 (@AryneJames96) February 19, 2022
Many also find it puzzling why it was easier for some foreigners to attain Malaysian citizenship than regular denizens.
This is so sad and unfair.Especially when someone who is clearly born outside Malaysia & unrelated by blood to Malaysia managed to receive citizenship & Bumiputera title real fast. https://t.co/lkUjpS0nBm— DUST.IN.THE.WIND. (@hadiaahhh123) February 19, 2022
So football players can get citizenship easily but kids born to malaysian mothers+non-Malaysian fathers and those who fought for the country has to wait sampai kiamat to get a citizenship? #sus https://t.co/RgNW6k5UQa— Alya Farhanah (@alyfrhnh) February 18, 2022
The Federal Constitution dictates that the Federal Government may grant citizenship to individuals over the age of 21 who applies for it under the grounds that the person has lived permanently in the country or intends to do so for a set number of years, is of good character and has adequate knowledge of Bahasa Malaysia.
The same rule applies to the state of Sarawak and Sabah that joined the federation during the formation of Malaysia.

Myvi Crashes Into Senawang Cemetery Tombstones, Son Of Driver Apologises And Explains

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

Netizens were shocked and angry after seeing pictures of a red Perodua Myvi that crashed into several tombstones in a cemetery plot yesterday (17 February).

The incident allegedly took place at Tanah Perkuburan Islam Forest Heights in Senawang around 10am.
According to Berita Harian, the car was driven by a 60-year-old woman who passed out while visiting her late husband’s grave.

Her son, Syafiq Sidek, has taken to social media to apologise to everyone who was affected and to explain what happened.
His mother has hypoglycaemia due to diabetes and she fainted at the wheel due to low blood sugar. She was fasting that day too.
She accidentally stepped on the car accelerator after blacking out while doing a u-turn. Fortunately, she was unhurt but she caused minor damage on two cemetery plots.

Syafiq said his mother is still in anguish and traumatised when she lost her beloved husband last August to Covid-19.
I hope everyone will stop spreading this issue. Everyone in the family is trying our best to support our mother.Syafiq Sidek wrote on Facebook.
He also promised to help the other families fix the damaged tombstones in the cemetery.
According to Berita Harian, Syafiq has forgiven the people who criticised his mother on Facebook because they didn’t know the actual story.
Syafiq thanked the media and the police for reporting the true events. He added that those who spread misinformation and slander about his mother will be investigated by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

Hannah Yeoh Wants To Meet Athletes, Strengthen Existing Sports Programmes

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

One of the many surprises in the Cabinet is the appointment of Hannah Yeoh as the new Youth and Sports Minister. The position was previously helmed by Syed Saddiq after the 14th general election (GE14).

During a press conference on her first day at work at Menara KBS today (6 December), Hannah said she hopes to meet the athletes soon to discuss their needs and welfare.
She also said she has no intention to disrupt the athletes’ preparations by making sudden changes or introducing new programmes.
Instead, she wants to hear from the athletes first and only then find a way to strengthen the existing programmes.
They can continue with their existing programmes. If we keep changing the direction, it will be difficult for them to follow.Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh said during the press conference
Among the other things she has in mind is the need for transparency and accountability in spending so that everyone knows where the budget goes and what it’s spent on.
The other improvements include ensuring sports are accessible for everyone, providing a safe space for athletes, and collaborating with other ministries to solve issues involving youth, without marginalising those who are not academically inclined.

Tabling the Safe Sports Act
Hannah also said her prior experience in drafting the Anti-Sexual Harassment Bill 2021 (while she was the Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister) would help her in tabling the proposed Safe Sports Act.
Based on a report by The Vibes, the Anti-Sexual Harassment Bill 2021 that has been passed does not reach into the sporting fraternity.
The Safe Sports Act would make it easier and safer for victims in the sporting fraternity to report abuses and sexual harassment.
In addition, the Safe Sports Act would make it mandatory to list any complaints against coaches and administrators.
The Act was supposed to be tabled in December 2022 by former youth and sports minister Ahmad Faizal Azumu.
Ex-national gymnast and Safe Sports Malaysia (SSM) president Sarina Sundara Rajah hopes that the Act will not take a long time to be passed.
With the act, anyone who is a witness to sexual harassment will have an obligation to report it to the centre. There will also be protection for whistleblowers.Safe Sports Malaysia (SSM) president Sarina Sundara Rajah

Terengganu School Students Win International Filmmaking Award For Short Movie About Kampung Life

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

A team of amateur filmmakers from a secondary school in Terengganu scored themselves a winning trophy at the international Panasonic’s Kid Witness News (KWN) Global Summit 2020.

Six pupils from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Kuala Besut won the Secondary category at this year’s award show with their short film entry titled; MARK ROSO, The Island Boy.
Screenshots from the short film.(YouTube/panasonickwnglobal)
The film was produced in 2019 and competed against 150 other short videos submitted by youths from 35 countries including Japan, China, Vietnam and Brazil.
The five-minute short centres around the life of a boy named Mansur, who works as a boatman to support his family.
The story is said to be inspired by the real-life tales and experiences of the students; Muhammad Nasrur Afdie (17), Muhammad Afiq Mohd Ridzuan (17), Umar Hamzah (17), Nik Muhammad Izzul Iman Nik Mawardi (17), Mohamad Aqib Azfar Mohamad Azhar (14), and Mohamad Aqif Azfar (14), who themselves came from rural backgrounds.
This year, the summit was held remotely from Japan due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
A video posted on social media sees the production team, who were dressed in colourful Baju Melayu, gleefully accepting their award live via video-conferencing. While other footage showed their teachers equally elated and celebrating their victory.

Catch the tale of Mark Roso on YouTube.

Malaysian bullying PSA gets honorable mention
Despite not winning any awards, another proud mention of Malaysian youth participation at 2020’s KWN summit is a video entry made by primary students from Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) St. Thomas in Kuantan, Pahang.
The film titled “We are all innocent”, shares insight into school bullying and advocates for children to be brave and stand up against adversity.
The video is also featured on YouTube.

Kota Baru Council Cancels Shorts Fine, Nga Kor Ming Confirms

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

The Kota Baru Municipal Council (MPKB) has agreed to cancel the fine issued against a non-Muslim woman in Kelantan for indecent wear, Malay Mail reported.

Local government development minister Nga Kor Ming confirmed this and said the matter was resolved following a discussion between the ministry’s director-general and the Kelantan local authority.

The woman should not have paid the fine, as she may have been misled to do so. She wore shorts in her own shop, which sells shorts.
Local government development minister Nga Kor Ming
Soalan tentang ahmoi kena saman pakai shorts.Tengok level Menteri jawab in perfect BM dan semangat kasih sayang + hormat menghormati mengikut acuan Madani.YB Nga punya BM, seriously better than aku kot. And his answer…Daymmmm. Padu. ❤ pic.twitter.com/l36Tp285dv— JOKER🔺 (@BadBoy2662) July 1, 2023
Nga said if the woman couldn’t wear shorts in her shop, all her stock would have to be discarded, which did not make sense.
He added that local governments must understand the essence of the Federal Constitution when performing their duties.

Malaysia is a multi-racial country and we need to respect each other. We respect the dress code but do not be too enthusiastic when enforcing the law. The matter should not have happened and we hope it will not recur.
Local government development minister Nga Kor Ming
The matter is now considered fully settled.
Image: TRP File
On 25 June, the woman was issued a compound notice for indecent wear under Section 34(2)(b) of Kelantan’s Business and Industrial Trade By-Laws 2019.
The law states that Muslim and non-Muslim business owners must dress decently at work, including the employees.
Last Monday, the business owner paid the fine for the woman as he didn’t want the matter to be politicised.

You Can Get Actual American Cheesecake From The Cheesecake Factory Delivered To Your House

If you know anything about American culture, you know that for some reason they love The Cheesecake Factory. The upscale casual dining restaurant is extremely popular for their many flavours of cheesecake, extensive menus, and dining atmosphere.
The Cheesecake Factory is so quintessentially American, it’s almost a tourist destination.(Credit: Mike Nice/Flickr)
But for Malaysians who have fallen in love too, The Cheesecake Factory may seem like a faraway dream- until now. You can finally get your hands on real cheesecake directly from The Cheesecake Factory delivered to your doorstep in Malaysia.
Legasea Bakery specializes and sells imported cakes from The Cheesecake Factory, California. In fact, Legasea Bakery was founded specifically to allow Malaysians to taste the American dessert in the comfort of their own homes.

As much as I love cheesecake, I wondered how these cheesecakes could survive the flight from Los Angeles, California to Malaysia with a notoriously long flight of minimum 18 hours!
It turns out that the American-style cheesecake, and in fact most kinds of baked goods, stand up to freezing very well.
Cheesecake freezes so well, in fact, that you can safely chuck it into the freezer for a month and it’ll be fine, which might be how Legasea Bakery is doing it.
As a matter of fact, there are over 200 The Cheesecake Factory restaurants worldwide and only two actual bakeries that produces their famed cheesecakes: one in Calabasas, California and one in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
Not only that, but The Cheesecake Factory also produces frozen cheesecake selections for American grocery stores.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAv10tklZbs/

Legasea Bakery has managed to get exclusive distribution rights to import The Cheesecake Factory’s coveted desserts in the country, and original plans even included a physical store in Sunway Pyramid.
Sadly, the pandemic has delayed the works for the store, but Legasea has circumvented that issue by selling the cheesecakes solely online for now.
You can choose to order either by slice or the whole cheesecake and have the cake delivered to you directly.

Carsome Appoints King Cantona As Brand Ambassador

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

Southeast Asia’s largest integrated car e-commerce platform, Carsome has appointed Manchester United legendary forward, Eric Cantona, as its brand ambassador.

In a statement issued today, Carsome said that Cantona shares a common drive and relentless spirit as the company to go above and beyond for their fans and consumers.
With this appointment, Cantonal will be actively involved in Carsome’s upcoming promotional activities this year as well as group-wide advertising campaigns in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
“We are excited to have Eric Cantona onboard as Carsome’s brand ambassador.
“I believe Eric’s personification of victory and fearlessness displayed throughout his life and career will bring us to even greater heights in the used car market as we continue to deliver trust, transparency and choice to our customers,” the company co-founder and group’s Chief Executive Officer Eric Cheng said.
Carsome said that Cantona was instrumental in helping United end their 26 years of trophy-less seasons after he was signed from rival club, Leeds United in 1992.
This, according to Carsome, is very much likened to the company “as a brand that set out seven years ago to redefine the used car industry, at a time when customers deeply lacked trust in the used car market.”
Carsome said that it had since become an industry standard for customers to purchase quality assured pre-owned cars.
“With this, customers can experience a hassle-free car buying experience and go home confidently with quality refurbished cars which have gone through a stringent 175-point inspection and vigorous refurbishment process.
“The first in the market to offer a one-year extended warranty and a five-day money-back guarantee, with up to 30 brands of cars to choose from, Carsome shares Cantona’s boldness to break the barrier of normalcy to stay on top of the game and be a leader.”
Cantona meanwhile said that he is pleased to see the progressive and innovative work done by a market-leading Southeast Asian brand like Carsome.
“I am confident that our partnership will introduce more car buyers to high industry standards set by Carsome Certified, and subsequently welcome them to a world where the car ownership journey is a trusted and pleasant one,” Cantona added.
Together with the announcement, the company also announced the official kick-off of the ‘Carsome x Cantona’ campaign in Malaysia and Indonesia, whereas the campaign too will be introduced in Thailand in the near future.
For more information and updates on Cantona’s future events, stay tuned to https://www.carsome.my/ or Carsome’s social media pages.

Klang Valley Commuters To Enjoy Improved MRT Train Frequency

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

Listen up MRT and LRT users, there’s some good news coming your way!

Yesterday, Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that Klang Valley commuters can expect the train frequency on the Kajang MRT line to improve from the current 6-minute interval to a 4-minute interval by August this year.
This enhancement is attributed to the progress of the ongoing wheel replacement program.
According to reports by The Vibes, in a Dewan Rakyat seating, Loke added that measures are being taken to address the frequent issues faced by commuters on the Ampang LRT and Kelana Jaya LRT routes.
In response to a question from Fong Kui Lun (Bukit Bintang-PH), Loke mentioned that a comprehensive overhaul of all train component systems is being carried out on the Ampang LRT route.
This overhaul, which began in October last year, involves all 50 trains and is expected to be completed by December 2027.
Additionally, regarding the Kelana Jaya LRT route, Loke stated that 19 new sets of 4-car trains will be procured.
This, he said, will be done in stages starting from August this year until the end of the following year.
The purchase process will be expedited in order to replace the obsolete 2-car trains currently in service.

This will increase the frequency of trains starting in September 2023. With more frequent services, it will reduce congestion, especially during peak hours as well as reduce damage during operating hours. For the monorail line, one train is being rehabilitated while two new trains will be completed in March 2025. This will allow a train frequency of every 5 minutes during peak hours.

More people tried to buy their clothing online as well, as ‘baju kurung’ ‘baju melayu’ and ‘telekung’ became the top searches on the app while the fashion category also saw nearly 60% increase in sales!

Sungai Buloh Hospital Says English Site Still Under Maintenance, Maternity FAQ Auto Translated By System

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

The English version of the maternity procedure available on the official website of the Sungai Buloh Hospital was the result of the “system’s auto translation”.

The Rakyat Post reached out to the hospital for comments following a social media share yesterday in which the poorly written text was highlighted.

Budak intern mana lah yang buat website untuk Hospital Sungai Buloh ni. Can a husband to accompany his wife??? Door opened 5cm? Finding patient? @KKMPutrajaya @HOSPITALSGBULOH pic.twitter.com/9tuI0VbDqR— Keds Mikaelson (@kadtechi) May 1, 2023

A spokesperson from the Public Relation’s department of the Sungai Buloh Hospital said the website’s English version is still under maintenance and that their main website is in Bahasa Melayu.
The English version of several sections, including “Procedure For Maternity” was an automatic translation by the system which is why it contained various errors.
The spokesperson informed that they have now disabled the English section of the website until it is fully ready to go live with legitimate and accurate information.
For those who want to obtain information regarding the hospital, they can do so via the Bahasa Melayu version.

Viral Video Of Policeman Showing Off Firearms, Netizens Ask What About The Code Of Ethics

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

A video had gone viral on social media showing a policeman getting ready before starting his job on New Year’s Eve.

The video was uploaded on the TikTok platform before being shared by a Twitter user known as @Tsgxy_.
Steady dik. Cap jari kering ke belum tu. Kena amik tindakan jgn marah pulak cakap kejam. Sendiri cari penyakit. Terpaling polis pakai pistol dalam Malaysia. 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/au0iPkPhof— ₆⁶₆ςιδ²³₆⁶₆ (@Tsgxy_) January 1, 2022
In the video, it could be seen that the policeman was getting ready by wearing a face mask and uniform before starting duty.
However, what caught the attention of the netizens was his display of a firearm.
Regretting the actions of the policemen, the Twitter user said the policeman’s action would only bring negative repercussions.
Steady dik (little brother). Are the fingerprints dried yet? If action is taken, don’t say it’s cruel. You’re looking for trouble. The most gun-toting police in Malaysia.Twitter user @Tsgxy_ giving his piece of advice to the policeman.
Online Firestorm
Netizens also began to question the ethics of the policeman.

In fact, some even reminded that the men in blue are not allowed to make videos like this, especially showing off firearms.

Netizens asked the policeman, what kind of police are you?

Others told him to wait for disciplinary action.

Following the recent floods, much public anger has understandably been directed at police forces.

Johor Cafe Owner Thinks It Might Be A Lost Cause To Fight RM1,000 Fine For Not Wearing A Face Mask

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

In an attempt to unmask the truth, a cafe owner in Segamat, Johor released CCTV footage to make her case against getting fined RM1,000 for not wearing a facemask out in public, when there was no one else around.

Nur Izzati Aqilah Lokman Hakim posted up a video on social media showing the moment she was approached by police officers at a parking spot near her store
The clip showed the woman exiting her car before a police patrol MPV pulled over and four officers appeared on the screen.
Nur Izzati writes that the footage was evidence there was no one other than herself, her child and the police officers when she was issued the fine.
Aku bukan nak give up awal ke apa. tapi nampaknya kes aku ni mcm xda future ja 😅 hadoiii. da bagi bukti cctv tempat x sesak pun senyap je. video duration 6 minit yg aku ada. tp x reti nak post video panjang. aku redha. tunggu mahkamah maha Esa je la. ha gitu. 4 polis, aku, anak2 https://t.co/iCYBtPHYTD pic.twitter.com/DPqy1uG8S4— kakti (@kakti64) January 21, 2021
On 20 January 2021, Nur Izzati received a compound from the Segamat District Police for not wearing a face mask in a public setting.
She described the incident as an injustice because the government had previously made it clear that it was okay for people to not have masks on in public if there was no one else around.

Can you imagine, I just stepped out of my car to get my kid in the passenger seat, not in a crowded place…They gave me a fine. Because I’m not a politician. All the other stores around my cafe were closed.Nur Izzati via Twitter
(kakti64/Twitter)
Lost cause?
Nur Izzati also revealed that she had sent a personal plea to Johor Police Chief Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay to review her charges.
Aku ada post da kat sini sebelum ni. tapi org kata x boleh nampak comment aku. I respect angt dgn Dato’ Ayob sbb I know how he works. cuma I hope sngt Dato’ Ayob dapat pertimbangkan video ni 🥺 pic.twitter.com/GvxVWJCoUp— kakti (@kakti64) January 22, 2021
However, Ayob Khan had explained in a statement that investigations proved that there were other people around the area at the time she was fined and that Nur Izzati’s claims to dispute the fact were untrue.
There was a cafe employee who was wearing a face mask at the time… So her statement that there was no one else around and that the place was not crowded is not true.Ayob Khan via NST
In her defence, Nur Izzati said that the worker in question was an employee that lived with her in the same house and was part of her “social bubble“.
She further stated that her case might already be a lost cause and is presumably no longer pursuing to have her charges removed.
At this point, I wouldn’t mind paying the RM1,000 but all I want is for the people to know that I am not lying about the fact that I was not in a crowded area.Nur Izzati via Facebook

Teen Faces Even More Online Harassment After Lodging Second Report

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

Ain, the schoolgirl who exposed her male teacher for making inappropriate rape jokes during a physical education class, lodged her second police report over a male classmate’s rape threat.

However, the backlash and online reaction to her story only proves how unsafe young girls feel in every part of their life.
Even more harassment after news coverage
The police have acknowledged both police reports made. During a press conference, Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIPG) Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah was quoted as saying that the police will investigate the case from all angles, including the possibility that the rape threat “was a joke”.

The police later released a statement reaffirming that they are not dismissive of the case.
However, after the influx of news around Ain, netizens once again showcased how cruel they can be, dismissing her as being dramatic. Even worse, plenty of the comments mirrored the very rape jokes she exposed.

The comments accused her for exposing her aurat and looking indecent, a common dismissal whenever women try talking about sexual harrassment.
yall talk about aurat is the reason for sexual harassment and rape as if Muslim women are the only women in the world, does that mean non-muslim girls deserved to get raped you disgusting monsters. Im sick of this twisted, disgusting mindset. #MakeSchoolASaferPlace— ain #MakeSchoolASaferPlace (@ant33ater) April 28, 2021
Rape culture is rampant in Malaysia
Plenty of comments showcased how issues like sexual harassment has been so normalised that people come to its defense.
Just a few choice comments showcasing victim blaming.
🤡 pic.twitter.com/KiQKQEKfRI— NsA🍓 (@acetylglucosa_) April 27, 2021
Dismissive Facebook comments often read that such “educational talks” about sexuality and rape are common in school and that teachers know best.
In fact, alleged leaked screenshots from a private teacher’s Facebook group also showed similar comments dismissing Ain’s concerns about the safety of students in schools.

Incumbent Tambun MP Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu has welcomed Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to contest the parliamentary seat he won in the last general election.

“To those that wish to move from other places and come to Tambun, I just want to tell you something. In Tambun, we say ‘ayor’ (water)…listen carefully ‘ayor’, not ‘ayaq’ (water in the northern accent traditionally used in Perlis, Kedah, Penang and certain parts of Perak).
“Thank you and welcome,” the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) deputy president said in a video uploaded to Twitter.
Selamat datang ke Tambun 😊 pic.twitter.com/HslwmYSeeJ— Faizal Azumu (@PejaOfPerak) October 21, 2022
Although he did not name anyone inside the video, it was believed that the message was directed towards Anwar, who confirmed that he would contest in Tambun in GE15.
Anwar, the PKR president and the incumbent Port Dickson lawmaker announced in a PH convention in Ipoh that he intends to contest in Tambun next as he wanted to help strengthen the coalition in the northern states.

5 Places For The Best Shawarma In KL

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

You’re in KL and you’re in the mood for shawarma? Perfect timing.

Thanks to all the viral food videos we’ve been seeing on social media, we’ve collected a few places in Kuala Lumpur known for their shawarma.
But before that, what’s shawarma? Is it a wrap? Or a kebab? What about those served on the plates?
Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish consisting of thinly marinated sliced meat cooked on a rotating spit or vertical rotisserie. Basically, it’s the meat, not the wrap!
The roasted meat (often beef and chicken, can also be lamb, turkey, or veal) is then sliced into even thinner pieces and served in a wrap. It can also be served on a plate with various other ingredients (hummus, veggies, sliced flatbread) or can be in the form of a sandwich (or some may even call it kebab).
So, enough with the formality, where’s the best shawarma spot at?! Okay, here we go!
Some of the best places to get your Shawarma in KL:
1. Halab Gate
Okay if you’ve been in KL long enough, you know this legendary place.
If you’re unfamiliar with KL, you might pass by this stall without realising it! It’s located in Bukit Bintang, among the fleet of Middle Eastern eateries (near Kunafa Crisp), opposite Hong Leong bank.

What’s special about this place is its garlic sauce, cheese and other special sauces! They have chicken, beef, and mixed shawarma (if you’re confused about which ones to get), with cheese and without. They also have small sizes and large sizes for both those who want a nibble and those with a hungry appetite.

2. Damascus BBQ
Another worthy contender is Halab Gate’s across-the-street neighbour, called Damascus BBQ. This place is next to Starbucks Reserve at Bukit Bintang junction and you’ll notice it right away with its huge red store sign.
Additionally, they have another outlet at Sungei Wang Plaza, just further along the street of  Jalan Sultan Ismail, serving the same shawarma and other Middle Eastern dishes.

These shawarma come with fries to give you some added texture. Paired with a plethora of juicy sauces (garlic, yoghurt, chilli, pomegranate and lots more), you should get both their chicken and beef shawarma hot from the grill. They even put bits of the sliced meat on top of the wrapped shawarma for the ultimate juicy bite!

4. Syawarma Raihani Kebab Jalan TAR
Okay, so this one is not exactly a burrito-like shawarma, instead, it’s a sandwich-ish shawarma, or as they call it, kebab.
The juicy meat bits, along with fresh-cut tomatoes, onions and herbs are given an even mix and put into a toasted but soft hot-dog bun. Then they’re blessed with a special sauce on top and ready to be served.

What’s special about this place is that it’s been operating for more than 30 years! No wonder lah, it’s a crowd’s favourite.
