When we say the word playground normally, we would think of a nice big park with fun slides or swing for kids. Maybe something like this:
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643274684/unsigned/ebmbevl7yg0c3pxzmdsa.jpg" alt=" The iconic KLCC Park. I&rsquo;m sure everyone has been here before, right?" width="787" height="427" /> The iconic KLCC Park. I&rsquo;m sure everyone has been here before, right?
&nbsp;
As technology evolved, so did kids and boy oh boy have they really got hooked onto their phones and tablets lately. But recently, a playground in Malaysia has suddenly trended due to how it was filled with sand and had concrete slides.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643274724/unsigned/m3gbg2wfsk4osreqqdsy.jpg" />
&nbsp;
The photos were uploaded by Facebook user Amer Narani who described the park as The Stupidest Playground in 2022&rdquo;. It&rsquo;s location is in Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu. His post showed multiple photos of the park and at the time of writing this, it had gained 719 comments and 520 shares.
Described as a National Service training camp
Amer voiced out his dissatisfaction when he saw that the slides were made of concrete and full of sand. According to him, the slide is described to be hard and began questioning how the playground had been approved in the first place.
&ldquo;If children fall from the slide, their heads will be smashed! Do you think this is a National Service Training Camp (PLKN)?!&rdquo; he said.
In one photo, it showed a small dug out ditch at the end of the slide and another showed a rusty metal ladder being placed as part of the slide attraction.

&nbsp;
Netizens share their thoughts on the &ldquo;PLKN Camp&rdquo;
Many did side Amer on the condition and how the playground could cause injury to kids.
One netizen said that the playground is built for adults instead of children.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643274807/unsigned/ysgbgks49asy19r8ka41.png" />
&nbsp;
One other netizen said that their kids&rsquo; shirts are now dirty and torn after bringing them there.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643274818/unsigned/xpmccwftxuf4dz7a9tii.png" />
&nbsp;
But some netizens also argued on one thing, parks those days were all made of cement, and all were totally fine.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643274830/unsigned/ask5hfx4f5xjuifbgewm.png" />
&nbsp;
But why still use concrete? How about other plastic materials or even metal?
Rozali Salleh who is the current mayor of Terengganu had visited the playground on January 24 and stated that the upgrades will start as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the visitors.
His team will be adding rubber mats at the ends of the slide and add fibre to cover the slide as well.
For those of you who live near the seaside, you know that corrosion is a big factor towards how long a structure can last. It was more ideal to use concrete as it&rsquo;s sturdier and will require less maintenance and it&rsquo;s great against hot weather and saltwater.
Another reason behind not using plastic or metals were the fear of vandalism on the playgrounds which were very common.
For those who donoo't know, some people liked to put razer blades on the monkey bars in parks or in slides as well.
<img src="https://c.tenor.com/JwpHRI0p-zgAAAAC/yikes-oh-no.gif" />
&nbsp;
Even the playgrounds in Singapore were made of concrete and steel. Here&rsquo;s a prime example of the Dragon playground which has been preserved in Toa Payoh, Singapore.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643274943/unsigned/xlg826ngqnxnawns3a6q.jpg" />
&nbsp;
All in all, I don&rsquo;t think anyone would like kids to get hurt in playgrounds, but I too understand why s playground by the beach used concrete. Can you imagine if metal oxidises and then snaps when the kids play on it or plastics break or crack due to the low strength it has? 
Maybe kids are too soft now as most would describe since they are mostly hooked to their phones. Well, what are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments!

Most were complaining about the usage of concrete for the slides and figured it’s dangerous for the kids.

Playground Or PLKN Camp? Malaysians Confused Over Supposed Seaside Play Area

If its one thing about living in the city, it&rsquo;s needing to heavily rely on public transport.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653293706/unsigned/quivwywnathkpr8cmsyc.png" />
&nbsp;
Not many Malaysians are fortunate enough to own a car and some also may differ saying that using public transport is better and more cost efficient and it&rsquo;s more convenient. Although that the statement is true, many now debate whether owning a car is actually better than using public transport as the prices of e-hailing fares have surged up the ceiling.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653293679/unsigned/p1ilv6ogth6aztwwhafq.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Many of us need to still use Grab specifically when going home or to work as most stations (such as busses or even trains) don&rsquo;t directly access the housing area you might be living in.
Transport Minister Datuk Dr. Wee Ka Siong has now called upon platforms to give an explanation and clarification of the alleged price increase as high as 400% during peak hours after many have complained about expensive fares they have to pay recently.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Grab Car vs AirAsia Ride. Same pickup spot, same destination. But the price difference is almost doubled. <a href="https://t.co/NN6SEvO0TU">pic.twitter.com/NN6SEvO0TU</a>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&ldquo;An increase from RM20 to RM70 in the current situation is seen as burdensome to the people, so I think as a policymaker, we will see if any party is taking advantage to make a profit&rdquo; said Dr. Wee after visiting Ampang Park LRT on Sunday 22nd May.
He&rsquo;s requested for the Land Public Agency (APAD) to review and the issue and ask the companies to explain the price hike situation with expectations for an answer to come up in the next day or two.
APAD says that one of the few factors effecting the price is the working environment of drivers, passengers, service providers and others must be taken into count. This is to ensure the balance of supply and demand in e-hailing as both the service provider and user must have a mutual agreement for bookings via their apps while showing the fare amount.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653293699/unsigned/mjl7xgjsd9lf0fiywtdy.jpg" />
&nbsp;
If it isn&rsquo;t bad enough, the price hike is also affecting food delivery services. Customers even have the option for a premium queue order where it gets you the food faster, but it seems that many are ending up waiting just as long if not longer for food during peak hours.
For example, Food deliveries around the Kelana Jaya area to those residents in SS7 went up from RM2/ RM3 during off peak hours and RM5 delivery during peak to RM4.50/ RM5 during off peak and up to almost RM9 during peak hours.
With the reopening of economic sectors, services have seen a drop of approximately 25% in riders and at least a 10% of delivery food demand dropped as well.
Did you know Malaysia has 32 registered e-hailing platforms?
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653293727/unsigned/cr5oxqg5y2fmdesd3c84.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Some of the most well-known apps out there consist of airasia Rides, Grab, EZCab, MULA, Kumpool, InDriver and more.
Back to square 1 
Since prices are sky rocketing, many people are resorting to using Taxi&rsquo;s again as they offer more affordable prices. In fact, taxi passengers had increased by 40% lately said Combined Taxi Across Malaysia president Kamadurin Mohd Hussain.
Another reason towards the price hike of e-hailing services is due to the government not introducing controlled fares that taxi&rsquo;s have. During rush hour, due to competition, they take advantage to raise the prices due to high demand and as most of us are busy and want to get things done quick, we will automatically just take it.
Kamarudin suggests that the fairs of e-hailing services till still increase and it&rsquo;s almost impossible for it to go out of control if the number of taxi&rsquo;s decrease.
Fares on taxi&rsquo;s work differently as they start at RM3 and passengers will be charged RM0.10 for every 115m travelled.
Psst, want a discount on e-hailing and food deliveries?

&nbsp;
Now the real question is if e-hailing is still worth it or is owning and driving your own car better?
Yeah, there&rsquo;s pros and cons to both but what are your thoughts? Let us know!

The real to ask now is if it’s cheaper to own a car and daily drive it or just continue on with e-hailing?

Is e-Hailing Getting Too Expensive? Transport Minister Questions Alleged Fare Hikes

*Note, images in the article may be disturbing for some. Viewers discursion is advised.
As if Malaysia didn&rsquo;t have enough on their plates. With the country entering into the pandemic phase after suffering through Covid-19 for almost two years, there&rsquo;s nothing in our way from reopening everything against, isn&rsquo;t there?

Unfortunately, there has been an outbreak of the monkeypox virus in several countries in Europe and North America as it made headlines globally. Many had become worried as monkeypox had originally originated from countries with tropical rainforests and rural areas of Central and West Africa.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653287552/unsigned/w0kkragkn0xq9pggqbda.png" />
&nbsp;
Director-General of Health, Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah and scientist alike were baffled at the incident, but they had issued a statement informing others to not worry as the transmission of the virus is limited.
If one were to get infected from the virus, it won&rsquo;t have effects as bad as Covid-19 and most people typically recovers in 3 weeks or less.
What is Monkeypox and how is it transmitted? 
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653287577/unsigned/q8k8gn033o5ckfsvvwh3.jpg" />
&nbsp;
As the name says it, this disease was actually first identified in monkeys and was first discovered in 1958 by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It all started when two outbreaks of a pox-like disease occurred in a monkey colonies which were kept for research purposes.
Although discovered in 1958, it wasn&rsquo;t till 1970 till the first human monkeypox case had happened in the Domocratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) as they were in an intensive period of attempting to eliminate smallpox.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Monkeypox comes from the same family of eradicated smallpox which is closely associated with animals. It&rsquo;s unusual to see the outbreak clusters. Nonetheless it&rsquo;s being closely monitored.
&mdash; Noor Hisham Abdullah (@DGHisham) <a href="https://twitter.com/DGHisham/status/1527489785652297728?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 20, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Till this day, the host carrier of the monkeypox disease is still unknown but it&rsquo;s suspected that it may have came from African rodents.
The way the virus is transmitted is via humans through a few methods such as close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets and contaminated materials such as bedding.
CDC says that the virus enters our bodies via broken skin, respiratory tract as well as mucous membranes (ears, nose and mouth).
Signs of monkeypox

&nbsp;
Similar to smallpox, the symptoms are essentially the same but much milder. It starts up with a fever, headache, chills, muscle aches and also exhaustion.
The surface of your skin will also show signs of rashes which can spread around the body. If you see lymph nodes (bumps on your skin), don&rsquo;t be surprised as monkeypox can cause this.
The main steps of prevention for monkeypox is to have good personal hygiene and with that, you&rsquo;ll have a lower chance of getting infected.
Monkeypox is less contagious than

&nbsp;
Thankfully of us, the outbreak in several countries have been reposting that the spread is slow, and the virus is less contagious compared to Covid-19.
The rise in cases however is a direct correlation towards the east of Covid-19 restrictions now.
Also, just for reassurance&rsquo;s sake, there&rsquo;s already a vaccine for it and it&rsquo;s proven to be effective. The vaccine however had been discontinued in the 1970s after the eradication of the smallpox virus. The main concern now is those below the age of 50 are likely those at risk since they had not received the vaccine due to it not being widely available.
WHO also stated that the current chickenpox vaccine should have 85% effectiveness against monkeypox.

Yes, monkeypox is something that we all have to be aware off, since it&rsquo;s closely elated to smallpox, the vaccine from it can help protect us. Another thing us Malaysians should also remember and make sure is to ensure you practice good hygiene and you should (hopefully) be fine.

"Don't Panic!" Health DG Advices Malaysians Over Monkeypox Outbreak 

Hari Raya should be a time where everyone enjoys the festive season surrounded by people you love and also, good food!
It&rsquo;s not uncommon that people host banquets and open houses throughout the month, and it can be in offices, homes and sometimes schools. During those events, VIPs or even VVIPs are invited and treated to a variety of food.
<img src="https://media2.giphy.com/media/yrBwdH8CD7K5q/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611da8f77864896ffcd1f856abf178e4295e930b8bb&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Happy Studio Ghibli GIF by Spirited Away" />
&nbsp;
With that being said, a banquet event that was held at a school had caught the attention of many for the wrong reason and became the talk of social media.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fxbgsx666%2Fposts%2F5321177271237158&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="735" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Facebook user Mohd Fadli Salleh shared the incident online and it managed to gain 32K Likes, 2K reactions, 4K comments and 6.5K shares across the platform.
Unfair treatment towards the kids 
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653275836/unsigned/cisgxfptmcyd5djpgqvf.jpg" />
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
When eating a &ldquo;banquet&rdquo; style meal, logically speaking everyone should be provided a table but unfortunately during this event, the kids who attended it were sitting on the floor while the VIP/ VVIPs were sitting under a tent with the chairs and tables nicely decorated.
Although the floor was mopped, it was still deemed inappropriate for the event. Another issue was that the food is too close to the floor and shoes which are covered in bacteria, viruses, germs and parasites. Not to mention, Malaysia is currently having an issue for Hand Food Mouth Disease (HFMD).
Aside from that, everyone had to wait for the VIPs to start the ceremony before the children were allowed to eat. The orphans also had to wait in long lines before they were able to eat.
Netizens outraged over the situation
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653275861/unsigned/uuk52tvqnnnmkevqgdql.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Many talked about the contrast of students having to sit cross-legged on the floor. In fact, if one were to sit on the floor, logically people would also put a mat to ensure it&rsquo;s free from touching the dirty surface.
Some even said that parents are being too demanding over this situation but in this context, Fadli voiced out stating that it&rsquo;s the matter of manners, decency and self-worth.
Ironically enough, this issue happens almost every Ramadhan. Usually during these events, people want to celebrate the festive season with orphans and those under privileged as they too should be able to celebrate like everyone else.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

Fadli ended his social media post with a note that the culture of having banquets at schools and only celebrating the VVIPs should stop. Additionally, schools should put the effort in making the banquet more enjoyable for the students instead of neglecting them.
Hopefully in the future, organizers of such events will take this more seriously. In fact, no need for VVIP invites as the whole purpose is to celebrate the children.

Union Artisan Cafe is located on the ground floor of 1 Utama Shopping Centre. This hidden gem offers a cosy and relaxing ambience, an escapade from the hustle bustle of the city. It is a perfect place for teatime and meals to be enjoyed alone or with some company for some quality time.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1651292750/unsigned/o2v2tsmfnycnccqncp6w.png" />
&nbsp;
The idea of this cafe went from neighbourhood-concepted cafe to cater the neighbourhood and working community, which has now expanded into brewing refined coffee, comfort food, and desserts as well.

Pritti Angela had ordered some delicious cake, coffee and snacks off the menu!
Starting with the yumcha set (1 cake and 1 beverage):
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1651293208/unsigned/fdaascbep4reiguzf85y.png" />
&nbsp;
Chocolate With Salted Peanut Butter Cake + Hot Flat White (RM20)
The cake was divine. She described that it was moist with a balanced combination of sweet and salty. Whereas the coffee was skilfully designed by the barista, she complimented that it tasted just right!
Onto the snacks:
Deep Fried Cauliflower (RM16.90)
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1651293364/unsigned/nja1rvwmnesojo0t6orl.png" />
After sweet for sure comes savoury! If you are not a vegetable lover, this snack will change your mind. Fried until golden brown, it came with a dipping sauce. What a perfect combo right? She mentioned that she loves the sauce so much!

The Pastabilities Are Endless At La Risata, Ampang!

I&rsquo;m sure many of us who remember those good ol&rsquo; school days, there&rsquo;s always one trouble maker in class which can potentially get the whole class in trouble.
Punishments in class are normally pretty light from standing outside the class or perhaps submitting extra work to the teacher. Unfortunately, that&rsquo;s not the case for this incident which had landed one teenager in the hospital after the punishment almost took a near-fatal turn.
The incident happened at Foon Yew High School in Kulai, Johor where a teacher had punished the whole class after one student failed to complete their homework. Due to that, the students were allegedly made to run 30 rounds around the school&rsquo;s volleyball court with their mask on.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653026921/unsigned/ezcdpzu8pr8levy9v8b2.png" />
&nbsp;
As the class served the punishment, the girl had felt ill after running 15 rounds and was allowed to walk the remaining rounds. Unfortunately, when she got home, her condition had worsened as her heart rate accelerated to 200bpm which caused her to go into shock. She had been rushed to the hospital and was subsequently admitted into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
School initially brushed off the incident
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653026934/unsigned/u1t2ki5qttbhivykyiau.jpg" />
&nbsp;
In a Facebook post which had already been deleted, the girl&rsquo;s mother stated that she school had brushed off the incident after several days as she wanted to discuss about it.
"They told me the issue had been settled and that the school did not enforce mask-wearing during physical activity&rdquo; she said. She was also rejected upon a request to meet the school&rsquo;s principal.
The thing that didn&rsquo;t make sense was that the teenager had told her mother that the teacher had insisted the class to wear their masks even when exercising (which under the current law, is not required when doing so). The students were only allowed to take their mask off when feeling unwell.
Principal issues apology over the incident
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fjolynkua%2Fposts%2F10159854196257264&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="494" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
As the mother was dissatisfied about the behaviour, she had shared the incident online but once it gained the attention of many, the principal had contacted her to issue an apology.
Subsequently they invited the parents for a meeting on 18 May where a formal apology from the teacher involved and the principal as they admitted that they handled the mater inappropriately. The mother had also indicated that after the whole ordeal, she won&rsquo;t be pursuing the matter.
Thankfully the school took proper responsibility right after but a friendly reminder to all is no not push yourself or someone during intense physical activities as we won&rsquo;t know what consequence it may bring. 
Another reminder is that when playing sports, its also better to not wear your mask as it restricts oxygen flow to your body.

Gone Too Far? Teenage In ICU After Intense Class Punishment By School Teacher

It&rsquo;s been just shy of 2 months since the China Eastern Airlines crash.
The crash took the lives of 132 passengers + crew on board.
Read: <a href="https://myc.com.my/articles/1132/breaking-china-eastern-airlines-crashes-with-132-victims-on-board">Breaking: China Eastern Airlines Crashes With 132 Victims On Board</a>
After all this time, it&rsquo;s taken some time for investigators to find out what truly happened to the flight as the airlines had a clean safety history till this happened. So far, the investigators had ruled out any mechanical or technical faults with the jet.
The flight had departed form Kunming and was on its way to Guangzhou.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652947536/unsigned/t4bz4lo2rouxf64fqkoc.jpg" />
&nbsp;
The black box of the plane was recovered and sent to the US, and investigators took a look at the data, and it showed that someone on-board the plane had input controls to send the plane into a nose dive. It was cruising at 29,000 feet before suddenly going into the vertical dive and slamming into the remote hillside as seen on CCTV footage that captured the final moments of the flight.

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
&ldquo;The plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit&rdquo; quoted an individual familiar with American officials&rsquo; preliminary assessment.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652947567/unsigned/ykoecgtcsx5g4mbzyhwn.jpg" alt="The condition of the hillside after the plane had crashed nose first into it." width="700" height="467" /> The condition of the hillside after the plane had crashed nose first into it. 
&nbsp;
A report by CNN stated that the plane had three qualified pilots on board + flight crew and maintenance personnel were all said to be in good health and had no financial issues as indicated by the airline company.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652947588/unsigned/vxuoxis0xoigvn1vj2sp.png" />
&nbsp;
But since data shows that the crash was deliberately done from inside the plane, this would mark the third major disaster for aviation history in the last decade as it&rsquo;s related to pilot suicide.
What about the voice recordings on the flight?
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1652947600/unsigned/rlvep1onxavcekju4iow.webp" />
&nbsp;
As chilling as it can be, the purpose of a black box on a plane is to help record anything that happens on a plane and in the. There&rsquo;s 2 of them on board, 1 for the instruments and computer readings and the other is for voice communication in the cockpit.
Investigators are still analysing the data and due to the black boxes being badly damaged, it will ne a while before we find the true reason behind the crash. It&rsquo;s also noted that if the pilots were attempting a crash landing of sort, the landing gears of the plane would have been deployed or the flaps of the plane wouldn&rsquo;t have been pointing straight.

Investigations say that the nose dive was done intentionally which leads investigators to think the pilot may have had mental health issues.
