Mom Wants To Move Out After Losing 3 Daughters Overnight

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

Watching her three daughters drown in Port Dickson but unable to do anything, a 52-year-old mother hopes to wake up from the nightmare.

In an interview with The Star, K. Anchalay said she had happily gone on an outing with her three beautiful daughters.
However, it turned out that she would bring their bodies home with grief and sorrow.
The incident happened at 5:00 pm on 23 April when five members of the Anchalay family from Banting, Selangor, drove to Port Dickson for a picnic at the beach for the first time.
The drowning occurred at Pantai Cahaya.
The victims were identified as R. Kalaivani, 30, Dawige, 29 and Sathiyadevi, 19.
Anchalay’s son, Veeran, 26, and one of her daughter’s fiance, J. Sathiswaran, 29, were rescued by the public and sent to Port Dickson Hospital for treatment.
A Recurring Nightmare
The mother recalled that the water suddenly became unstable when the five of them were swimming.
She said they were just sucked into the water, and as much as she tries to get that image out of her mind, she can’t.
At the time of the incident, Veeran and Sathiswaran were pulled out of the vortex in time and survived the catastrophe.
Anchalay, who works as a cleaner with a monthly salary of RM1,500, could not stay in the house she shared with her daughters.
Every room and corner in the house would make her think of them.
Anchalay wants to move out, but according to custom, she must stay there to perform prayers until the death anniversary.

According to authorities, the three bodies were found about 50 meters from the beach.
At the time of the incident, the water was at high tide and a bit rough.
The area in question was also prohibited for people to swim.

Frustrated Over Limited Tickets, Malaysian Football Fans Attack Jay Chou’s Instagram With Hateful Comments

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

Harimau Malaya fans, better known as Ultras Malaya, have been bombarding Taiwanese singer Jay Chou’s social media accounts with hateful comments due to the shortage of seats at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium (SNBJ) for the first leg of the AFF Championship semifinal between Malaysia and Thailand this Saturday (7 January).

The stadium is unable to accommodate football supporters to its capacity of 80,000 seats with only 59,000 seats made available. This is because 21,000 seats are closed off to accommodate stage structure preparations for Jay Chou’s concert. Jay Chou will be coming to Malaysia for his Carnival World Tour on 15 January.

Even though Jay Chou’s concert venue had been booked since 2019 with tickets already sold out, a large number of hardcore football fans took to blaming the King of Mandopop over limited seats for the AFF match.
Hate comments flood Jay Chou’s social media
They flooded Jay Chou’s most recent Instagram post with rude comments asking him to postpone his concert or hold it elsewhere as according to them “a stadium is not the place for a concert”.
“I don’t like concerts… I like football. Go and do your concert in another place. There’s a lot of Covid these days. Postpone your concert to next year,” said one user.

“Just because of you, Malaysian football fans can’t get the 21K seats,” said another.

The fans didn’t only attack his Instagram account, but his Facebook account too.

Some of the football fans were even mad with the fact that his concert is next week and the stage is already up this week, without realizing that an international concert preparation takes weeks of safe and sturdy installation.

Meanwhile, other Malaysians also rose to the case and defended the King of Mandopop saying that it was not his fault at all, instead, this is the fault of the organiser who did not plan properly and early enough.

Hannah Yeoh gave a statement
Earlier, Youth and Sports Minister, Hannah Yeoh tried to address the complaints of fewer tickets available for the AFF Cup 2022 match.
She then gave a statement saying that the stadium booking for the Jay Chou World Tour was done on 13 March 2019 while FAM did the AFF 2022 booking on 18 August 2022.
The concert needs 14 days to set up the stage for the show which is handled by 500 crew members including 185 international crew members, 45 heavy machineries, 200 speakers and 800 lights. In fact, they have already delayed the preparation by 2.5 days to accommodate the AFF Cup.
Makluman1)Booking stadium konsert Jay Chou World Tour dibuat 13 Mac 2019 manakala AFF 2022 oleh FAM dibuat 18 Ogos 2022.2)Konsert perlu 14 hari pasang pentas oleh 500 krew+185 krew antarabangsa, 45 jentera berat, 200 speaker & 800 lampu. Mereka dah delay 2.5hari bagi ruang AFF pic.twitter.com/45lV5dZLu5— Hannah Yeoh (@hannahyeoh) January 5, 2023
Singapore and Thailand face the same dilemma
Singapore also faced the same situation last 24 December when their match against Myanmar had to be moved from the National Stadium which seats 55,000 people to Jalan Besar Stadium which seats 6,000 people.
This is due to Jay Chou’s concert too, held on 17 & 18 December and because of that, the stadium’s organizer couldn’t make arrangements to prepare the field and dressing room facilities in a short period of time.
Other than that, Thailand fans also sympathized with Malaysian football fans as they will also face the same predicament in the second leg of the AFF Championship semi-finals between Malaysia and Thailand. The match will be done in the Thammasat Stadium which only seats 25,000 people instead of the Rajamangala Stadium which seats 51,000 people.
This is due to the bigger stadium that made way for a Maroon 5 concert last month and is making way for a KPOP concert this Saturday. The grass on the fields could also not be restored in time for a football match.
We get your feeling my friends. 😅Rajamangala is not available because its grass was ruined by Maroon 5 concert last month and there will be a KPOP concert again this Saturday. As well as the National Stadium that Blackpink concert will be take place here this weekend. https://t.co/eLQWcV10gn pic.twitter.com/VBAqRGeJV3— All Things Thai Football 🇹🇭 (@ThaiFootballs) January 5, 2023

Miss International Malaysia Finalist Abby Lee Blasted For Xenophobic Comments Online

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

The finalist of Miss International Malaysia 2022 Abby Lee got into hot waters when her racist-fueled Instagram Stories were made known.

A Facebook user Hui Yue captured screenshots of Abby, a Malaysian-born Chinese woman, who attacked Malaysia and Malaysians and posted it all online.
According to The Sun, Abby’s xenophobic comments extended to the people of central and south Asian nationalities.
At one point, she lamented that she wasn’t born in a big city in China. Apparently, she also claimed she never wanted to admit that she was Malaysian.
Why was I born at a kampung in Malaysia and not a big city in China? I love China and Japan.Abby Lee allegedly wrote on social media.

The other comments captured by the Facebook user included the times when Abby was rude to her mother for reminding her to drink water.
She also threw items at her family members each time Lee Chong Wei scored a point against Lin Dan during a badminton tournament. Abby constantly blamed her parents for not sending her to study overseas too.
The pageant contestant also claimed that the previous winners had work done to their faces which contributed to their win. Despite feeling conscious about her teeth, she said she’s a natural beauty and might stand a chance to win the pageant.
Hui Yue tried to contact Miss International Malaysia regarding this issue about their contestant but the organisation blocked her instead of taking action.

On a brighter note, Abby didn’t win the pageant and any mention of the model seems to have been erased from the official Instagram account of Miss International Malaysia.
Netizens were shocked by her behaviour
Netizens blasted Abby for behaving poorly as a pageant contestant who’s supposed to be a role model to others.
A few of them said that Abby was immature, lacked good manners and did not possess the quality of Miss International Malaysia.
They also pointed out her spoiled attitude and for treating her parents badly.
The others were shocked by Abby’s poor language skills because they had a hard time understanding her posts on her social media.

Abby apologised online
Abby Lee has since written an apology on Instagram Story and claimed that the rumours were groundless.
She said she didn’t mean to offend or hurt anyone and said she was very sorry for causing trouble for Miss International Malaysia.

Rob-And-Run Leaves Woman With Broken Waist And Leg, Her Motorcycle Falls Into Ditch

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

A snatch theft victim broke her waist and leg at Taman Sukma in Kuching, Sarawak.

According to Kuching District Police Chief ACP Ahsmon Bajah, the snatching incident happened around 6.15 am.
Police are investigating the case under Section 392 of the Penal Code.
According to a Borneo Network report, the victim was on her way to work before the suspect suddenly approached her.
It caused the victim’s motorcycle to lose control and slip into a ditch.
Following the incident, the victim suffered injuries and fractures to the waist and legs and is currently being treated at the Sarawak General Hospital.
The victim’s colleagues also hoped that the authorities would be able to find the suspect and give him a fair punishment for his actions.

Measures To Deal With Snatch Theft In Malaysia
Snatch theft crimes in Malaysia mostly use the same modus operandi of targeting the vulnerable such as women and the elderly.
The culprits usually use motorcycles to snatch and move quickly.
This disgusting and undignified act may be rampant due to the influence of drugs and other social problems that influence criminals to commit the crime of snatching.
In recent years, social media has helped to uncover criminal activity and assist police in investigating those responsible for crime.

The authorities need to provide general awareness to the community about the crime of snatching.
At the same time, the authorities should also correctly enforce the law against the perpetrators of snatch theft.
The crime of snatching has resulted in the victims being seriously injured and losing their lives.
Culprits who are successfully caught will be punished under Section 392 to Section 402 of the Penal Code.
It provides imprisonment for up to a maximum of 20 years and whipping if convicted.

Urban Area Contributes To Snatch Theft
Statistics show that snatch theft cases mainly occur in urban areas.
Due to the population density, some people face the pressures of life and then choose to commit crimes as a solution.
The installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras can assist the authorities in monitoring and become evidence if the cameras can record criminal acts.
Another step that can be taken is to learn about self-defence. This method can protect us from snatch theft and other crimes involving physical altercation.
Baru lepas tengok footage cctv perempuan kene ragut dan pukul dalam lif tu. My honest opinion kan perempuan mmg kene belajar pertahankan diri. Aku dulu malas pegi taekwondo tapi bila dah besar ni baru la paham nape parents aku paksa gak pegi. Sebab nak bantai laki2 x guna camtu.— Khadijah Kamaruzzaman (@mizblurrity) February 16, 2019

[Watch] Hundreds Of Dolphins Spotted Swimming In Melaka Straits

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

Malaysian animal lovers were ecstatic over the sight of a pod of 100 to 200 dolphins spotted swimming near our shores.

A viral video believed to have been captured on a ship sailing through the Straits of Melaka shows the impressive group of sea mammals darting beneath the waves – with some even surfacing and circling around almost porpoisefully near the vessel as it made its way across the ocean.
The 15-second clip did draw alarm some alarm from netizens who fear that the sight of such creatures swimming in large groups could be an omen for bad things to come.
Somethings not right.. https://t.co/xhrdlSalub— Kasha🖤 (@kashjahn) November 14, 2021
Bad sign ? Hope not https://t.co/P1HKCfPfSt— Syiffa (@SyffaAzlan) November 14, 2021
This is because some old sailors tales believe that a huge storm may be brewing in deeper waters if dolphins come swimming close to shore.
Despite the turbulent superstition twirling around the net, people were still relatively mesmerised by the appearance of the elusive animals.
Dolphin in Malaysia 🇲🇾🐬🐬😍😍 https://t.co/TuiT6c0e6u— Nachua (@nachuazoul) November 14, 2021
“This is a sign that the Melaka state election is nearing” joked one commenter.
Tanda2 PRN Melaka dah dekat https://t.co/WpPVq30yhI— Syahiran (@MohdSyahiran_) November 15, 2021
Technically, it’s not that uncommon to see dolphins swimming in our waters.
According to the Selangor Fisheries Department in an article by Sinar Harian, the Melaka Straits which stretches from Perlis all the way to Johor is home to three species of dolphins: the Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin, Irrawaddy Dolphin and the Indo-Pacific Finless Porpoise.
But dolphin sightings in Malaysia are reportedly on the rise since the recent pandemic lockdowns.
In June, Melaka Agriculture, Agro-Based, Entrepreneur Development and Cooperative Committee chairman Norhizam Hassan Baktee told The Star that large numbers of dolphins and Giant Marine Shrimp were seen returning to Melaka shores for the first time in 40 years due to less pollution.
It is said that sea reclamation works in the state that started in 1974 had driven away most of the sea life away from the area. Old fishermen even tell stories that in the 60s’ and 70s’, you can even find large sea turtles the size of Volkswagen Beetles swimming near our shores.
Help spot sea life!
So we also just found out about this, thanks to a local Twitter environmentalist freyr, who pointed us in the direction of the MareCet: Marine Mammal Conservation organisation, a non-profit that’s working on researching and protecting Malaysia’s marine mammals.
@marecet does great advocacy on marine mammal conservation in malaysia. please support their efforts & programmes! 💙— freyr (@notsoaidil) November 14, 2021

Under Sarawak’s Post Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030 which was launched in 2021, the business events sector was identified as an aspiration to empower communities and conserve heritage, culture and biodiversity and promote investment and development in all sectors.
The source of Sarawak’s strength comes from our communities, or tribes as we identify ourselves. The definition of tribe is beyond ethnic tribes, but the tribes that bind us together: sectors, industries, common interests. In the last couple of years, Sarawak has gone from strength to strength in positioning itself to align with international objectives and standards in measuring the intangible benefit of business events, known as legacy impact.Sarawak Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah
There will be four major MICE events that are scheduled to take place in Sarawak in the next couple of years under this initiative:
17th ASEAN Food Conference 2023 by the Malaysian Institute of Food TechnologyAnnual Scientific Congress of the Malaysian Society of Anaesthesiologists (MSA) and the College of Anaesthesiologists Malaysia by the College of Anaesthesiologists Malaysia under the Academy of Medicine Malaysia24th Asia-Australasian Conference of Radiological Technologies 2023 by the Malaysian Society of RadiographersIEEE (I-triple-E) International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics 2024 by the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics (Malaysia) Society
These conferences are expected to attract an estimated 4,000 delegates to Sarawak.
Since the inception of BeSarawak in 2006, figures show that the state of Sarawak generated approximately RM3 billion in total economic impact under its secured events.

Government to make an effort to reduce the income disparity between Malays and those of other races.  Which can be done by providing upskilling training for Malays to help them remain competitive in the workforce
 Efforts are made to strengthen Malay economic institutions and government-linked companies. These entities must be headed by a Malay with integrity and the Malay spirit to keep the agenda alive, and a special commission is established to monitor these entities and protect the interest of Malays.

5. Political
Presented by Universiti Malaya Malay Studies Academic Fellow, Abdul Muqit Muhammad.

Need for a specific economic agenda to eradicate poverty among Malays.However, the agenda should not be seen as an effort to discriminate other races since most Malays are majority of those in poverty
 Economic policy should not be elite-oriented.  Because the previous policy did not effectively address issues faced by farmers, fishermen, and the like.

After receiving the resolutions, Tun Dr. Mahathir said that although the congress has made demands, the government is not compelled to accept every single resolution. However, they will look seriously into the demands.

“There is a demand, but it doesnâ€™t mean that the government has to accept the demands. We have to look into what we can do and what we cannot do”

Dark Tourism In Sabah & Why We Are Drawn To The Macabre

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

Have you heard of ‘dark tourism’? It’s a label loosely given when visiting places where some of the darkest events of human history have unfolded.

These ‘dark’ events are usually associated with a grim past like war sites, prisons, graveyards, memorial parks and places with significant historical events caused by a natural or man-made disaster.
Of the tragedies from recent times, one of the world’s best-known dark-tourism sites according to dark-tourism.com is the 9/11 Memorial Museum, otherwise known as “Ground Zero” where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City used to stand but was destroyed in a terrorist attack on 11 September which killed nearly 3,000 people.
Rising in popularity
The catacombs of Paris is another popular dark tourism site(Credit: Chief Hardy / Pixabay)
This macabre form of tourism has been gaining momentum in the last few years partly due to its popularity in mainstream media with television shows like Dark Tourist and Chernobyl.
In addition, several studies also show that a motivating factor that drives dark tourism is curiousity and tourists are often fascinated by the usual, unknown and unique
Other attributing factors include finding a sense of identity, the fascination of horrific events, and empathy.
Dark tourism in Malaysia
Dark tourism may also be on the rise in Malaysia with scholars even discussing whether it’s a growth segment for the tourism industry here.
In an announcement last month, the Sabah government has said they are looking at tapping into the dark tourism industry as a new product and preserve history in the state.
Just recently, three potential dark tourism sites have been identified in Sabah’s Crocker Range Park (CRP).
The first one is located at Ulu Senagang substation where a British aircraft crashed on the hillside of Tinutuan in 1992 purportedly killing the seven onboard.
Arrow points to pieces of the wreckage(Credit: Sabah Parks / Facebook)
The plane wreckage and the pieces of wood believed to have been used to carry the bodies were still there when the CRP staff visited in 2017.
However, the crash site is about nine kilometres from the Ulu Senaggang substation and would probably require a day’s trek to visit.
The second is about 700 meters from the same substation at the Pinamansok waterfall where there’s a stone that bears the features of a human face and a mortar-shaped stone with a 20-cm deep hole that is always filled with water.
Do you see a human face?(Credit: Sabah Parks / Facebook)
CRP research and education coordinator Betty Tan Lan Hwa said:
According to ancient belief, if the water is disturbed, it will cause floods or disaster.
She then added a flood took place when a ranger removed the water last year.
The third site at Crocker Range is the salt trail from Inobong substation in Penampang to Malungangan substation in Tambunan which has been around since World War 2.
People from Penampang and Tambunan used to escape into the forest during the war and later the trail became a trade route among people in the interior and coastal areas.
Around the 18th century, (traditional priest) Bobolian Aki Sogunting held a reconciliation ceremony to stop the headhunting wars among the natives to ensure peaceful trade along the trail.CRP research and education coordinator Betty Tan Lan Hwa
Betty adds that there are many more stories that revolve around the route.
The 34-kilometre long salt trail was developed in 2000 and Sabah Parks is offering the Inobong-Terian-Buayan- Kionop and Tikolod route four-day package to tourists.

Hannah Yeoh To Pursue ‘Safe Sport Code’ For Speedier Alternative To Protect Athletes

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

Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh wants to implement a Safe Sport Code instead of tabling a bill in Parliament.

Her reason for codifying it is so that athletes can be quickly protected since waiting for the bill to be tabled in Parliament will take a long time.
Having it codified means it could be implemented as early as March, Malay Mail reported.
I’ve just decided that we would go with a code simply because we have existing legislation and I don’t want to confuse our stakeholders, I don’t want to delay having to address safe sports.Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh
However, Yeoh said the decision to codify Safe Sport is still being studied and chances are it could still be tabled as a Bill if the Task Force overseeing the matter decides otherwise.
Previously, there was a need to have a Safe Sports Law because the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act was not yet tabled in Parliament.
Hannah explained that we should give these existing laws a chance, identify the weaknesses, and make improvements from there.
On top of having the Penal Code, the Employment Act and the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act, adding a Safe Sport Law might make things more confusing in a legal case.
What’s Safe Sport?
Safe Sport is a movement initiated by the International Olympic Committee with the aim to provide athletes with safe, supportive, and healthy environments to train and compete in.
The committee defined Safe Sport as an environment which is respectful, equitable, and free from all forms of harassment and abuse.
Over in Malaysia, the pressure to enforce Safe Sport was embodied by Safe Sport Malaysia (SSM) led by former gymnast, Sarina Sundara Rajah.
Sarina collaborated with other groups to draft the proposed Safe Sport Law.

There have been sexual harassment and abuse cases in the local sports scene, which led to the urgent need to have a law to protect all athletes.
Athletes such as national diving champion Pandelela Rinong shared that she had been sexually harassed by a former coach and she also had to endure sexual jokes from the same person for seven years.
The coach was caught for rape seven years later.

Just last month, a male coach was caught on video slapping a volleyball player.
The incident sparked controversy and a debate with a few groups, including the athlete’s father, attempting to downplay the issue.
The coach’s license was eventually suspended after an investigation by the Youth and Sports Ministry.

Where has the Safe Sport Code been adopted?
A number of countries, including neighbouring Singapore, have adopted the code.
Known as the Unified Code in Singapore, the categories of misconduct listed under it do not only include sexual misconduct, but also physical and psychological misconduct and “other inappropriate conduct or misconduct related to process.”

Malaysia may start issuing fines to those who fail to show up for their Covid-19 vaccination appointments.

In an online press conference held today (27 May), Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Adham Baba said his ministry is in discussion with the National Security Council (NSC) after it was reported that more than 52,000 individuals across seven states have missed their appointments– with Kedah registering 20,000 of those missed appointments.
Credit: Choo Choy May/Malay Mail
Due to the vaccine rollout having to be done in stages with a delivery schedule, Dr. Adham said:
That’s why we feel applying penalties and mandatory vaccination must be implemented once all voluntary avenues like online registration, by MySejahtera or doing face-to-face appointments fail.– Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba in an online press conference 27 May 2021
Dr Adham also went on to say he is worried about the new variants that are emerging in the increasingly high number of positive cases. The variants first detected in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, South Africa and India are already in the community.
The best vaccine is the first one you can get access to
Dr Adham goes on to say that the public must realise this vaccine is free and its rollout is being done in stages.
Other matters mentioned in relation to vaccines include:
Vaccine rollout is done in stages with all of them having a delivery schedule.Pfizer comes from their suppliers in Belgium. Sinovac is using Pharmaniaga for their fill and finish process, and AstraZeneca is from the Covac facility.The Ministry of Health (MoH) are about to procure vaccines from Gamelaya Sputnik and CanSigno.More vaccines are set to arrive in June and July.
In the efforts to help have a smoother and faster vaccine rollout process, Dr. Adham has also asked for non-governmental organisations to help with outreach once these vaccines have arrived.
In other vaccine related news, as at Wednesday 26 May, Putrajaya is the first territory to have 100% of their residents registered for vaccinations while Sabah is on the other end of the spectrum with only 17.76%.

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

With the CMCO in place right now, many of us are choosing to forgo social lives in an effort to stay at home and avoid going out. However, we’re all getting a little loopy without our friends, so why not try out video games?

“Oh, but I’m not a gamer,” you say, which is totally fine, because this list is curated for top popularity, need for co-operation, and ease of playing!
 You will most likely already have friends who play or it will be easy to start getting your friends to play together!
Among Us
Platform: Free on mobile (Android or iOS)

You probably would have seen these little colourful figures in spacesuits on social media. This highly co-operative multiplayer game is all about teamwork and betrayal!
The main objective is to complete your tasks together to stay alive, but there’s an alien impostor in your group looking to sabotage the project. The game relies on teamwork and trust (but not too much!) for a successful mission.
It’s been wildly successful as the game supports large groups of 4 up to 10 players, giving lots of opportunities for your social group to join in together.
Genshin Impact
Platform: Free on mobile (Android & iOS), PC, PS4

This vast open-world role-playing game (RPG) is a definite treat with its diverse cast of memorable characters, great storyline, fantastic music, and beautiful graphics. However, the best part of the game is its cross-platform support for mobile, PC, and PS4.
Not only can you play with your friends who are on a different platform than you, it also means that you can log in on different platforms as well (although this only currently applies to mobile and PC)!
The game is mainly a single-player RPG until you hit Adventure Rank 16, when multiplayer and co-op features are unlocked. This will take around 4-5 hours of solo gaming and story-progression until you are familiar enough with the gameplay mechanics.

However, once multiplayer features are unlocked, you and your friends (up to 4 players) can travel to each other’s world to complete quests, fight in dungeons, or even just walk around exploring the open world together.
Since the game has daily quests, it’s a good way to hang out and “do stuff” together with your friend group like true adventurers!
Phasmophobia
Platforms: RM31 on PC with standard or VR mode

If you’re looking for something for dramatic and heart-pumping, this new co-op horror survival game is sure to make you cherish your friendship.
You and 3 other players are supposed to investigate paranormal activity, gather evidence, and hunt ghosts. However, ghosts are hunting you too.
The in-game voice mechanics require you to communicate with your friends over clues and strategy, but voices will also trigger the ghosts to attack.
Teammates who have been killed will be silent but able to continue watching the game, which means that if you haven’t heard from a friend in a while, it might not be a good sign.

It might be rather scary, but having friends to go through and survive the game together will certainly take the edge off.

[Watch] Man Went Berserk In Seremban And Shouted At Motorists Near Traffic Lights

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

A man suddenly went berserk at the traffic lights at Centerpoint, Seremban and caused a long traffic jam.

In the viral video, the man exited from a blue Perodua Alza while it was still a red light and started telling off several motorists on the road.
He ran to cars nearby and under the traffic lights while gesturing aggressively as if he was giving everyone a warning.
The people recording the incident could be heard saying that they’re afraid he might do something worse. They were also trying to figure out what disturbed the man so much.

The man then got into the car and drove it to the front of the line before winding down the window to shout at the people in the car that were recording him.
After the lights changed, the other motorists let the man drive away first before following suit.
Netizens were curious and tried to make sense of the perplexing incident. One of them suggested that the man was telling off ‘invisible beings’ that the others couldn’t see.

Others said not to give silly comments and said the man might have had a mental breakdown due to stress.

A few said he was probably drunk or high and hallucinating, judging by his erratic behaviour.

Whatever the man is going through, hopefully, the man will get the help he needs soon before anything untoward happens.

Ask yourself these 11 questions before you decide to change jobs

Do you find yourself feeling increasingly miserable day after day at work?
Do complain to your colleagues that you feel stuck in your position?
Have you found yourself considering changing jobs?
Parks And Rec Leslie Knope GIF from Parksandrec GIFs

Quitting your job and changing companies is a big decision to make. There are so many factors to consider, such as money, location, corporate culture and career trajectory. And these important aspects can be overwhelming.
Lucky for you, weâ€™re here with 11 important questions to ask yourself before you decide to jump ship.
1. WHY DO I WANT TO CHANGE JOBS?
If youâ€™re feeling dissatisfied with your current job, you need to consider if the new offer is something youâ€™re actually interested in – or if youâ€™re just in dire need of a holiday.
On the flip side, if youâ€™re reluctant to leave your current job even though youâ€™re unhappy, ask yourself if you are staying because you fear leaving your comfort zone.
2. WHAT DO I WANT FROM A JOB?
Leslie Knope GIF from Leslie GIFs

Review your priorities: is a salary the most important thing to you right now? Or do you need to be challenged at your job? Consider making a list of pros and cons for both positions to help make your decision.
3. WHICH JOB HAS MORE POTENTIAL ADVANCEMENT?
Is there still room to grow at your current job, or does the new company offer better career advancement opportunities?
If your new job offer seems like a promotion right now but has fewer opportunities for advancement in the long run, you might want to reconsider switching for now.
4. WHAT IS THE CORPORATE CULTURE?
Parks And Rec Party GIF from Ron GIFs

Your new position might seem great on paper, but if the work environment doesnâ€™t suit you, it wonâ€™t be long until you feel unhappy there too.
When visiting the office for an interview or tour, keep an eye out for these two hints: 1. Are the people at the office happy or stressed or overworked? 2. Do the employees seem like people youâ€™ll get along with?
These may seem like itâ€™s not a big deal, but keep in mind that your work colleagues are the people you see and interact with the most!
5. HOW LONG/FAR IS THE COMMUTE?
Although you might feel like there ainâ€™t no mountain high enough, valley low enough, or river wide enough to keep you from your dream job, studies have shown that commuting for more than 30 minutes each way can cause weight gain, increase stress and affect your mood.
6. WHAT IS THE WORK/LIFE BALANCE?
Broken Phone GIF from Broken GIFs

We cannot stress how important it is to find a job that aligns with your career goals and lifestyle.
If youâ€™ve received a job offer from the new company, it is completely appropriate to ask questions about their work culture.
Key things to find out is if they expect you to be on call on holidays and weekends and if youâ€™re expected to return calls and emails after work hours.
7. WHAT IS THE LOCATION LIKE?
This question is crucial if the new job involves you relocating to a new city. You should do lots of research on your potential new home, including cost of living, recreational activities and general culture.
8. WILL I BE PAID ENOUGH?
Parks And Rec Monalisa GIF from Parksandrec GIFs

Itâ€™s only natural to compare the salary of your new position against your current job. But you should also look at the offer without reference to your current position.
If youâ€™re not sure how much someone at your professional level should be paid, do some research to find out how much people in your field and at your level generally get paid.
9. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Although picking the job with the highest salary might seem like the obvious choice, itâ€™s important to consider the whole package.
Are there good insurance and retirement plans? Does the job offer lead to an eventual permanent position? Are there other benefits like flexible hours, or the option of funding if you continue your studies? Might the company consider paying your PTPTN loan?
10. WHAT CHALLENGES WILL I FACE?
IHave No Idea What Im Doing Andy Dwyer GIF from Ihavenoideawhatimdoing GIFs

Youâ€™ll want to be sure that the new position will help you grow professionally.
Consider if the job offered will force you out of your comfort zone and teach you new things? Or will the tasks simply eat up at your time and make you feel busy?
11. HOW WILL THIS AFFECT MY PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS?
If you havenâ€™t been at your current job for very long, consider if making the switch right now might result in burning some bridges with your colleagues and bosses.
Having good relationships with your employer will reflect your professional attitude and affect your ability to get jobs in the future.
We hope these questions help you make your decision!

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

Shopkeepers and workers are not required to wear gloves as there’s no such SOP which mentions the need to do so, said Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri during his daily press conference.

He was referring to the video that went viral recently, showing police officers giving out summons to shopkeepers and workers due to them not wearing gloves which sparked public outrage.

I directly sent to PDRM and asked them, because I have informed that, the SOP issued so far has never required to wear gloves, and when we’ve discussed, the police have said that no instructions were issued by the headquarters to any station stating that action should be taken against those who do not wear gloves.Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri
He added that even the National Security Council has never issued instructions saying that it is obligatory to wear gloves.
I am very grateful to the people, to those who spread this video because immediate action can be taken. We don’t want any more cases such as this, where SOPs that are not announced are being enforced which in the end, makes it troublesome for the public.Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri
Meanwhile, it’s reported that the police have denied give out summons a female employee at a supermarket in Precinct 8 for not wearing gloves while on duty as it appeared on social media.
Putrajaya District Police Chief (IPD), Assistant Commissioner Mohd Fadzil Ali, said that the individual was actually summoned for not complying with some standard operating procedures (SOP) of the Movement Control Order (PKP).
Mohd Fadzil said he was only advising employees working at the counter to use gloves because they deal with many customers to avoid the spread of Covid-19.
The individual involved was charged for not registering through the MySejahtera application and checking her body temperature while on duty.Putrajaya District Police Chief (IPD), Assistant Commissioner Mohd Fadzil Ali via Berita Harian

[Watch] Tiny Puppy Attempts An Escape From A Firefighter Who’s Trying To Rescue It

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

What was supposed to be a simple animal rescue became a workout and a funny moment for a few firefighters in Cyberjaya.

Firefighter and Youtuber Izzat Izwan posted a funny yet heartwarming clip on his Facebook of an encounter with a lost puppy on 1 March.
The adorable video went viral with 14k likes and 454k views. It was also shared on his TikTok account.
  @celorengbomba Terbaik abang bomba kita selamatkan anak anjing jatuh longkang,tak sangka mereka pandai bercakap dengan haiwan ya🤣👍🏻😎 #celorengbomba #fyp ♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey
On that day, a tiny puppy was stuck in a huge ditch so Izzat and his colleagues were sent to rescue the cute animal.
However, the puppy ran away whenever they tried to get it out from the deep drain. His colleague, Fauzi, kept shouting instructions at both the dog and his colleague who was guarding the other end of the ditch.
For a moment, both the puppy and the firefighter were caught in a dance. The puppy ran left and right to avoid getting grabbed by the firefighter.
Fortunately, the firefighter managed to grab hold of the puppy when it darted to the side. They tried to calm down the puppy once it was safe in their grasp.
We are trying to save you but you… aduhai. It’s ok, it doesn’t understand.Firefighter Fauzi could be heard saying to the puppy.
Netizens were tickled by the puppy’s actions and the lengths the firefighters went through to save the stray animal.
They think it’s a very cute yet naughty puppy and thanked the firefighters for rescuing it from the ditch.
However, a netizen noted that the puppy in the video looked like a puppy she previously saved from a ditch too.
If both the firefighters and the netizen rescued the puppy from the same area, it could have been the same puppy that somehow loves being in the ditch!

Meru Utama Extends Ad Contract With MAHB For Another 3 More Years

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

Meru Utama (VGI Airports) Sdn Bhd will continue its collaboration with Malaysia Holdings Bhd (MAHB) after signing a new contract for a period of three plus two years with the airport operators to bring in advertising.

In a Malay Mail report today, the company’s director Aznur Azizuddin said that it is aiming to generate more non-aeronautical revenue for MAHB’s network of airports including Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and KLIA2.
This, according to Aznur, would help generates income and jobs for the ancillary industries, especially during the current resurgence in the country’s air traffic following the reopening of the country’s borders beginning on 1 April.
“The last two years have been difficult for all industries, including tourism and media, because of the movement control order (MCO) and Covid-19 pandemic,”
 “But we are confident that, going forward, there will be a lot of improvement in traffic and economic activity in airports.
“We are preparing ourselves to welcome domestic and international passengers with our state-of-the-art digital screens, which we have invested in and installed (at various locations in the airports),” he was quoted as saying.
Aznur also thanked MAHB for its continued confidence in Meru Utama (VGI Airports) after extending their contract.
MAHB had yesterday revealed that 20.25 million passengers had passed through its airports in Malaysia over the first half of 2022 alone.

Are Malaysian Police Allowed To Randomly Check Your Phone?

According to Deputy Home Minister Mohd Azis Jamman, the police can inspect the mobile phones of individuals that are being investigated to maintain public order in accordance with Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
So, is this true?
[Weâ€™ve tried our best to research, but weâ€™re not lawyers. So, if the cops stop you and you petik our names, kami tiada kaitan dengan kes ini.]
Based on Section 24 of the Police Act 1967, an officer has the right to stop and search someone (without arresting them) if the officer reasonably believes that the person is acting in a suspicious manner.
This basically means that the police can actually stop and search you and your belongings, such as your wallet, clothing, and also your mobile phone, even when youâ€™re just walking around in public, as long as they have a valid reason to do so.
However, according to the RED BOOK on the police and the rights of the public, this can only be done in the presence of an officer ranked Inspector and above.

The RED BOOK cover (Picture credit: App Advice)

Meanwhile, based on Section 116 of the Criminal Procedure Code, an officer can only search through someoneâ€™s personal belongings (such as a phone), when it is practical.
The keyword here is: reasonableÂ
Lawyer Foong Cheng Leong and ex-IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan both told Free Malaysia Today that the police can only check a personâ€™s phone if the request is linked to an investigation.
For example, if you are being accused of punching someone, then your phone would not be relevant to the case and so they canâ€™t check it.
Throat Punch GIF from Throatpunch GIFs

The RED BOOK recommends in their section on Body Searches Without an Arrest, that you should not allow the police officer to search you himself. Instead, you should volunteer to show him everything you have on you by taking them out one by one for him to see.
It also points out that refusal to cooperate with the police is an offence and could either result in the issuing of a warrant, or worse, being charged with obstruction of justice which carries a fine up to RM20,000 and/or imprisonment up to six months.
Is this justified though?
Well, letâ€™s see what the common practices are around the world, shall we?
Singapore and Australia have similar laws to Malaysia.
Singapore and Australian laws generally allow police officers to search your mobile phone (or technically your computer when it comes to Singapore, but same-same really) with your consent if they suspect it has information or has been used in a criminal offence.
If you refuse to provide the police with your phoneâ€™s passcode (or fingerprint or face), you may also be charged with obstruction of justice.
Air Guitar GIF from Air GIFs

Canada and the U.S require an arrest or a warrant.
In Canada, the police can only check your phone after they arrest you, and only as long as the search is directly related to the circumstances of the arrest.
While in the US, the police can immediately check your phone if they have probable cause to believe that it contains incriminating evidence which is under immediate threat of destruction (read: you might delete it).
Otherwise, they will always need a warrant because privacy laws in the U.S. are pretty strict.
China police will straight up scan and download information off your phones.
In China, the police reportedly regularly use handheld devices to scan and download the contents of peopleâ€™s smartphones, such as contact lists, photos, videos, social media posts, and even emails.
According to Teng Biao, a U.S based legal scholar who spoke to Radio Free Asia, Chinese law is unclear about invasions into its citizensâ€™ privacy.
There are very few checks on state power and neither the police nor the government departments tend to pay any attention to the law anyway.
Ron Burgundy Escalated Quickly GIF from Ronburgundy GIFs

Suara Rakyat Malaysiaâ€™s executive director, Sevan Doraisamy called for a review of the Malaysian lawâ€™s provision, saying that phones should be treated similar to the right to remain silent when being questioned by authorities.
Our mobile phones often contain sensitive information such as emails, personal photographs, and even bank details. Therefore, in many ways, phones are more like a home than a handbag.
With all the information they contain and may reveal, maybe Sevan has nailed the hammer on the head with this one, eh?

Fujifilm Introduces X-S20, New Lens, And XApp

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

Fujifilm will be launching the all-new X-S20 mirrorless digital camera in Malaysia on 29 June 2023.

The X Series of mirrorless digital cameras are known for their compact and lightweight body and superior image quality based on the company’s proprietary colour reproduction technology.
From second left: Fujifilm (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd Electronic Imaging/Instax Division – Singapore & Malaysia Sales General Manager Leung Yu Cheng(梁愈诚), Fujifilm (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd Managing Director Kensuke Aragane(荒金健介) and Fujifilm (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd Electronic Imaging & Instax Division Senior Sales and Marketing Manager Thomas Kwan(关颂熹) officially launched the Fujifilm Mirrorless Digital Camera ‘Fujifilm X-S20’ at The Grounds KL @ Mahsa Avenue.
Here are some of the product features of the Fujifilm X-S20:
1. Improved autofocus (AF) and tracking capabilities
The AI-based subject-detection AF, developed with Deep Learning Technology, automatically detects an intended subject and keeps it in focus.
This allows users to focus on shutter opportunity and framing. The evolved AF prediction algorithm enables stable focusing even in the AF-C mode.
The new Auto Subject Detection function automatically detects a subject and tracks it while keeping it in focus to produce high-quality stills and videos.
2. High image quality and high-speed image processing engine
The X-S20 comes equipped with the back-illuminated 26.1MP sensor “X-Trans CMOS 4” and the high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5” to produce high-quality images while keeping power consumption lower than the previous model.
The camera comes with 19 Film Simulation modes including “Nostalgic Neg.,” characterized by high saturation and soft tonality. The Film Simulation presets can be used for various subject types and scenes.

3. High-capacity battery and high-performance IBIS mechanism
The X-S20 features the signature large grip for hand-holding stability while keeping the body compact and lightweight at just 491g.
The high-capacity battery, NP-W235, has more than doubled the number of frames to approximately 800 compared to the previous model.
The extended battery life means users can keep shooting for prolonged periods without worries such as during travels or all-day shooting.
The camera’s five-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) mechanism offers up to 7.0-stop advantage. This makes it easy to shoot hand-held at night or in low-light conditions.
The X-S20 is also perfect for self-portraits as it’s equipped with a 2.36-million-dot EVF with 0.62x magnification and a 1.84-million-dot rear LCD monitor with the vari-angle structure, which can be positioned in a range of angles.
4. 6.2K/30P video recording
The X-S20 can record 6.2k/30P 4:2:2 10-bit video internally and supports extensive video functions including 4k/60P and 1080/240P capability.
The camera also features F-Log2 for recording video in the expanded 13+ stop dynamic range for enriched tonality, providing freedom in post-production creativity.
When combined with an ATOMOS HDMI device, RAW video output from the X-S20 can be recorded as 12-bit Apple ProRes RAW at resolutions up to 6.2K and frame rates up to 29.97fps.
When combined with Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12G, RAW video output from the camera can be recorded as Blackmagic RAW at resolutions up to 6.2K and frame rates up to 29.97fps.

5. New Vlog Mode
The camera features a 3.5mm microphone/earphone jack for high expandability despite its compact and light body.
Users can easily switch to the new Vlog Mode with a turn of the dial.
The camera can also be turned into a webcam by plugging it into a computer using a USB-Type C cable without having to use software such as Fujifilm X Webcam.
The Film Simulation modes are also available during live streaming or online meeting. The shooting settings can be adjusted even while the camera is connected to a computer.

New FUJINON Lens XF8mmF3.5 R WR
Fujifilm is also launching the Fujinon Lens XF8mmF3.5 R WR (XF8mmF2.5 R WE) in June 2023.
The lens’s compact design provides portability, measuring 52.8mm long and weighing 215g.
It’s an ultra-wide angle (UWA) prime lens with a focal length of 8mm (equivalent to 12mm in the 35mm film format), the widest among the lineup of Fujifilm’s XF lenses.

It boasts a viewing angle of 121 degrees diagonally and 112 degrees horizontally. The UWA makes it perfect for outdoor and travel photography.
The lens barrel is weather-sealed at 10 locations to achieve dust- and weather- resistance. It’s capable of operating in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celcius.
The front lens is applied with a fluorine coating to repel water and protect against stains.

5 Young, aspirational Malaysians share what their dream Malaysia looks like

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed and Malaysia is a year older.
Itâ€™s no doubt that as Merdeka day inches closer and closer, the fire of patriotism burns hotter in our hearts.

But, is Malaysia today the Malaysia you hoped it would be?
The Fresh Prince Is Confused GIF from Thefreshprinceofbelair GIFs

One step along the way is to recognise our role in society and doing what we can to shape our country into the best Malaysia it can be.
After all, Malaysia is nothing if itâ€™s not its people.
So, we decided to ask a diverse group of young Malaysians what they aspire Malaysia to be, what is their â€œDream Malaysiaâ€, and what are they doing to make this dream a reality?
Fakhrieâ€™s Dream Malaysia is a clean one.

Fakhrie Baharudin, 30-year-old photographer said he wishes to see Malaysia become the benchmark country in Southeast Asia in eco-friendliness.
â€œMy â€œDream Malaysiaâ€ is a healthy and eco-friendly benchmark country in Southeast Asia for reducing plastic use and harmful materials from the ecosystem.â€
 Fakhrie to TRP
And to achieve this, Fakhrie is doing everything he can in his daily life and sharing his efforts on social media to encourage his followers.
â€œIâ€™ve been promoting healthy eating – sugar-free, lightly seasoned, home-cooked food prepared in weekly batches – on my social media.
â€œI carry my own food containers and drinking bottles, and use my own shopping bags when buying personal items and groceries to reduce plastic usage and waste.
â€œBy setting a good example for others, I encourage them to be mindful of their lifestyles too.”
 Fakhrie to TRP
Anneâ€™s Dream Malaysia is one thatâ€™s inclusive.

 View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Anne Law (@its.anne.with.an.e) on Sep 17, 2018 at 10:22pm PDT

For Anne Law Dorall, 25-year-old environment enthusiast, sheâ€™d like to see Malaysia become truly united in its diversity.
â€œMy â€œDream Malaysiaâ€ looks like a country where everyone isn’t just tolerated, they’re included.
â€œEveryone is free to practice their culture and religion without being judged or shunned by it.â€
 Anne to TRP
Anne believes that by simply being a little bit more open and accepting, Malaysia will easily become that.
â€œBy being accepting and open to learning of other people’s cultures and being considerate of their needs.
â€œBy being open to discussion and not taking things personally or be immediately defensive. To agree to disagree, but never letting differences in opinion create a divide.â€
 Anne to TRP
Dineshâ€™s Dream Malaysia is a united one.

Dinesh Athinarayanan, 37-year-old husband and father, believes that our nation is already beautiful but we just need to have a little more faith in each other.
â€œMy Dream Malaysia is a country where our fellow Malaysians are united regardless of race or religion. Weâ€™d have equal opportunities for prosperity and success.”
Dinesh to TRP
To achieve this, Dinesh simply shows some compassion towards his fellow countrymen.
â€œBy being more sensitive and conscious of one another. To refrain from inciting hate or being bias towards others on social media and in public.”
 Dinesh to TRP
Farhanahâ€™s â€œDream Malaysiaâ€ is one that has a high sense of civic duty.

Farhanah Farid, 28-year-old mother of two aspires for a Malaysia where the people donâ€™t treat each other, or the environment, like trash.
“My â€œDream Malaysiaâ€ is a country where people understand their responsibility to the environment they live in and takes care of their relationship with nature and with the other people around them.”
Farhanah to TRP
To achieve this aspiration, Farhanah practices the little things that go a long way and teaches her kids to practice them in their daily lives too.
“I donâ€™t litter. I also educate my kids about personal and environmental hygiene. Cleanliness begins in the home. Itâ€™s these little things that go a long way.Â
â€œI teach my kids to befriend everyone, no matter their race or religion. Ignorance breeds fear. By teaching them that different doesnâ€™t mean bad, they learn to refrain from passing judgement and avoid prejudice.â€
 Farhanah to TRP
Sereneâ€™s â€œDream Malaysiaâ€ is one that is woke.

Serene Nazari, 23-year-old student, would like to see a nation thatâ€™s free from judgement and discrimination.
â€œMy â€œDream Malaysiaâ€ is a place where mental illness is acknowledged and nobody is discriminated for suffering from it.â€
Serene to TRP
She advocates for mental health awareness on social media and speaks up about the hardship she faces personally so that her peers know they arenâ€™t alone in their struggles.
â€œI try my best to make this a reality by talking publicly about my own struggles with anxiety and depression.
â€œI make it known that I suffer from these illnesses when I go for job interviews because I’d rather not work somewhere that would drop me later when Iâ€™m having a tough time.
â€œI also reach out and make myself accessible to friends that seem like theyâ€™re struggling with their mental health and encourage seeking professional help.â€
 Serene to TRP

The family dog was also believed to have been killed.
How the police found the gruesome scene

Officers then paid several visits to the family’s home in Golden Mile House, Clayponds Lane on Monday but received no reply.
After speaking to neighbours and enquiring about the family throughout the day, concerns heightened and a decision was made to force entry shortly before 1am. That’s when they made the gruesome discovery.
A murder investigation is underway and the post-mortem of the deceased are scheduled for Thursday, 8 October.

What Happened To Faizal Azumu After The Confidence Vote?

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

Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu is no longer Perak’s Chief Minister after losing out during a vote of confidence today.

We take a look at what’s going on, the events that will take place and also the reactions from politicians on the issue.
What happens now
After admitting defeat, Faizal vows a smooth transition after receiving the support of only 10 out of 59 assemblyman during a vote of confidence.
He then went to Istana Kinta to meet with the state’s monarch, Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah, along with Perak’s State Assembly Speaker, Datuk Mohamad Zahir Abdul Khalid.
For now, as reported by Awani he will still remain as the Menteri Besar of Perak under the interim government as a ‘caretaker’ until a new appointment is made.
In a separate report by the same news outlet, the Sultan has agreed to accept the request of three party leaders representing Pakatan Harapan tomorrow at Istana Kinta. They are Nga Kor Ming (DAP), Farhash Wafa Salvador (PKR) and Asmuni Awi (Amanah).
How other politicians reacted
Datuk Seri Najib Razak
The former Prime Minister Najib Razak posted his thoughts on the matter on Facebook, and said that there are two main issues which contributed to Faizal’s downfall.
He said the first pertains the sale of 15,000 hectares of oil palm plantations owned by the state government through direct negotiations without tenders and the second is the appointment of UMNO state assemblymen as the Perak MB’s Political Secretary.

Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz
The Padang Rengas MP said Perak Menteri Besar Ahmad Faizal Azumu’s defeat was expected and added that it was in line with what voters wanted in the 14th general election based on a report by FMT.
He also suggested that UMNO should band together with Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) to form a new government in the state.
PKR Perak
Parti Keadilan Rakyat’s (PKR) Perak division has accepted Faizal’s loss as reported by The Star.
It’s reported that the State’s chief, Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak said that the State Assembly members showed that they can work together and ensure the future by rejecting Faizal as the CM.
He added that the expedited motion from Pengkalan Baharu assemblyman Datuk Abd Manaf Hashim proves that Faizal’s government has no legitimacy.
Nga Kor Ming
The Teluk Intan MP and Aulong Perak Legislative Assemblyman also posted on Facebook talking about the confidence vote, saying that Perak state Assembly Speaker Dato Zahir has done the right thing.
He added that the legitimacy of the government needs to be determined by the State Assembly and it precedes any government business.
Perak has created history today and Parliment should follow suit.Nga Kor Ming via Facebook

Intense KFC Customer Threatens To Curse Lahad Datu Outlet If Delivery Order Isn’t “Exactly What I Paid For”

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

We’ve all felt a sense of disappointment when our KFC order online isn’t exactly what we envisioned. But one particularly determined customer took it to the next level with his wildly intense request for “hot, big and spicy” fried chicken on a food delivery platform.

“Only God knows my desire,” states the beginning of a long request on the customer’s KFC 3-piece combo order before it escalated quickly.
“However, if you don’t give me my rights like three big, hot and spicy fried chicken pieces, enough wedges and Nescafe canned drink like the charge I paid for. So if that happens, damnation upon KFC Lahad Datu and its employees. Thank you.”
Credit: @sabah8hannels/Facebook
The wildly intense request naturally piqued interest online as Malaysians are quite keen to discuss all things KFC.
While some found the entire thing funny, sharing tales of their own fried chicken order disappointments, others felt it was quite an overreaction to the staff.
“Pity the staff who has no idea what’s going on but gets cursed. You have to think about the situation of the people as well. It’s best to be polite. Remember, they are also frontliners,” states one Facebook user.
Another user pointed out that this is how the big pieces of chicken pieces run out quickly. “The next order will be the victim because only the small pieces are left. Then, the staff gets blamed.”

4 Year-Old Boy Spends Birthday Making Sandwiches For The Needy

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

Birthdays have always been that one day in the year that’s all about you, for 24 hours you’re the centre of attention and nothing else matters. Most people can relate to this experience, which is why it was a pleasant surprise to see 4-year-old Jarrett dedicate his birthday to helping the needy in the midst of this pandemic.

Prompted by his kindergarten, The Mustard Seed School, Jarrett and his classmates were tasked to think of a way to help the needy as an assignment called “Fifty for the Needy”.
As his birthday was approaching on 18th July, Jarrett’s parents asked him how he wanted to celebrate and he cooked up the idea to make his favourite snack for the needy, peanut butter and chocolate sandwiches.
Even at a young age, Jarrett is aware of the hardships that Malaysians are going through during the pandemic and was compelled to find a way to help them out.

Jarrett’s mother was so proud of the choice he made. “We couldn’t be prouder of Jarrett for embarking on such a selfless act, we were prepared to buy him toys as we usually do but he insisted that this was how he wanted to spend his birthday”, she said.
Jarrett with the help of his 7-year-old sister, Maya, spent a good chunk of 18th July making 50 sandwiches and packing them into containers for the needy. Jarrett also drew up a poster that was put out on Facebook and WhatsApp to campaign for donations.

They would then go on to send the sandwiches to their local community petrol station, Caltex Setia Alam, that has an ongoing food bank drive where generous souls can help stock up the shelves with food and essential items. In a matter of two days, he was able to raise RM2,300 through 54 donors that was chanelled back to Caltex’s food bank drive via his kindergarten.

“I am very happy that I got to spend my birthday sharing my favourite sandwich with the needy, I hope this brightens up their day!” said a cheerful Jarrett.
Jarrett’s mother implored others to practice acts of kindness in any way they can. “We certainly need to celebrate little wins and continue towards encouraging one another at all times”, she further said.
If you have the means to support the needy with essential items and groceries, Caltex is running their food bank initiative at select stations. Drop by your nearest participating Caltex station and donate what you can.

In addition to the initiative, Caltex stations are also delivering essential items to members in their communities as a means to support them during this difficult time.

Stuck Dog In Flooded Utility Hole Saved By Telekom Technicians

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

A stray dog was rescued by Telekom technicians from a flooded utility hole in Jerantut on 7 September, reported NST.

According to NST, technician Mohd Saifullah Abdul Moin and 4 other colleagues were on the way to Felda Jengka 9 from Jerantut to look for damaged telephone cables.
They spotted a utility hole with a missing cover, which is suspected was stolen.
When the five technicians went to investigate the utility hole, they were shocked to find an exhausted dog sitting in murky yellow flood water.
At first, they tried to wedge a plank of wood to allow the dog to clamber out on its own, but it wasn’t able to.
I was feeling very sorry to see a stray dog trapped in the utility hole with his head looking up hoping for help.Saifullah to NST
Finally, his colleague Muhammad Zahid Mohd Nasir jumped down into the partially-submerged hole to rescue the dog. He used a gunny sack from the van to wrap around the dog’s neck to carry it.
However, it took a few attempts because the dog was quite heavy. Eventually, he managed to lift the dog out of the hole.
The team fed the dog some bread, and after resting on dry ground, the dog got up and trotted away.
Zahid joked that it was the first time he ever had to rescue a dog and considered it one of the challenges in his career.

Twins Mahathir And Najib Were Always Fighting When They Were Kids

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

What’s in a name?

When your name is Najib or Mahathir, you’ll get a lot of attention, especially during general elections (GE).
More so if you are twins, as is the case with two siblings from Jempol, Negeri Sembilan.
The twins’ name was given by their father, Nor Kaferi Ahmad, 59, who was in the army.
At that time, Datuk Seri Najib Razak was the Minister of Defense (1991–1995; 1999–2004), while Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was Prime Minister (1981 – 2003; 2018 to March 2020).
Berita Harian reported that friends often made fun of them because of their names.
But they never took it personally; instead, they enjoyed it as friendly banters.
When we had an accident in Kuala Pilah in 2016, the doctor who treated us at the Tuanku Ampuan Najihah Hospital was shocked, they thought we were politicians and even joked that we had reconciled.Mahathir and Najib Nor Kaferi to Berita Harian on their namesake.

Boys Will Be Boys
Mahathir, 27, said that when they were children, the two of them used to fight.
It bothered both parents, but it lessened as they got older.
The father didn’t expect he would be getting a pair of twins before he got the idea of naming them after Dr Mahathir and his protégé-turned-enemy Najib.

Coincidentally, the twins have the same interests and activities.
After completing SPM in 2012, Najib and Mahathir applied for a job at a marketplace in Dungun, Terengganu.
They got the job, but they became the butt of jokes at the workplace, as people would announce that Najib and Mahathir had come to work.
Unbelievably, a new worker named Anwar later joined them, causing much ‘uproar’.

Somehow, Anwar stopped working after a day, while the twins worked for one month before switching to jobs in the oil and gas industry.
Mahathir and Najib have yet to meet their ‘Siti Hasmah’ and ‘Rosmah Mansor’, respectively.
They are still single and agreed to hold a marriage ceremony together when the time comes.
