Covid-19

Muhyiddin

Get Vaccinated

Booster Shot

Positive

Seems like Covid-19 has really taken it&rsquo;s toll on Malaysians lately as we now have 13,944 cases reported as of 8 February 2022.
This just in that former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin revealed that he is tested positive for Covid-19 this morning after undergoing a RT-PCR test.
He had shared this news on his official Facebook page and had confirmed that he only had light to mild symptoms. Aside from that, he is in good condition.

&nbsp;
&ldquo;According to the health ministry&rsquo;s protocol, I will undergo self-quarantine at home. To anyone who might be a close contact of mine, I advise you to comply with the protocol set by the ministry.
&ldquo;Please pray for the health of my family as well as mine,&rdquo; said the former prime minister.
For those who did not know, Muhyiddin was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2018 and was declared cancer-free in June of 2020.
If you&rsquo;re worried that the vaccine may affect you due to your medical history, worry not as it should be all ok. On this note, everyone is encouraged to get your booster shots as your fully vaccinated status will be pulled back by March 2022.

Former PM Muhyiddin Tests Positive For Covid-19

Despite how some people may say that Malaysians are sometimes racially divided, we all share one common love which is the love for sports (aside from our love for food at least).
Recently our diving queen Datuk Pandelela Rinong Pamg had bagged another medal as she finished 3rd place for the women&rsquo;s 10m platform during the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

&nbsp;
Congratulations!
Just before she bagged the medal, the official Olympics twitter account posted an image of her swimming in the pool captioning &ldquo;Can she bag another medal to her collection in the #FINABudapest2022 women&rsquo;s 10m platform final?&rdquo;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Unfortunately, Pandelela fell short of the gold and silver medal who were won by China&rsquo;s Chen Ruxi and Quan Hongchan respectively. Pandelela had scored a total of 338.85 points which secured her bronze medal.
Although how much we Malaysians and her supporters love to see it, Pandelela had reacted in the most Malaysian way possible with a &ldquo;boleh lah&rdquo;!

A step-up improvement over her last performance
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656566239/unsigned/r9lzajs8r3ym8gqix3wd.webp" />
&nbsp;
In a report by New Straits Times, this is Pandelela&rsquo;s second medal after winning Bronze in the 2015 edition in Kazan, Russia.
Plus, the win also shows that Pandelela has been performing better and more consistent as she had tallied 332.10 and 313.15 points during the preliminaries and semi-finals. Although she&rsquo;s the oldest competitor in the tournament, it&rsquo;s dubbed as a moment of &ldquo;redemption&rdquo; after the disappointing performance she had at the Tokyo Olympics where she was one of the favourites to earn a medal.
&ldquo;I guess we can say that this is my redemption after the Olympics. I see every success and failure as a motivation to do better. And I am always inspired to watch the Chinese divers perform,&rdquo; said Pandelela.
Congratulating our diving queen
As many people do follow her, Malaysians took no time to congratulate her.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656566261/unsigned/ijn6p2kcrlgvf7zcm6xv.png" />
&nbsp;
Today (30 June) she&rsquo;ll be competing in the women&rsquo;s 10m platform synchronised event along side Nur Dhabitah Sabri as they look to defend the silver medal won by her and former partner Datuk Leong Mun Yee in 2019.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656566281/unsigned/mvvkuz7gppvuwz46qrl1.jpg" />
Good luck in the event! Malaysians are cheering on for both of you!

Pandelela Bags Bronze At FINA World Championship And Celebrates It In The Most Malaysian Way Possible

&nbsp;The issue of human trafficking has always been around for a while now but over the past few months, Malaysia&rsquo;s headlines have been reporting many cases of locals being human trafficked as they fall victim to job scams by syndicates.

Due to Malaysia&rsquo;s unstable economy, Malaysians of all ages have been looking out for jobs all over and some jobs were advertised online stating that it has high pay and great benefits. The victims then get attracted to and when they meet up with their new &ldquo;employer&rdquo; they get smuggled to countries such as Cambodia or Myanmar. From there, they are forced to conduct scam operations mainly targeting Chinese speaking individuals or foreigners.
Job syndicate arrested by authorities
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656558998/unsigned/d6tdgryxbeefbai2xdva.png" />
&nbsp;
With the authorities cracking down on these cases, it looks like these syndicates are slowly getting caught. One such recruiter who allegedly works with the syndicates has been arrested recently. PCA Public services and Complaints Department head, Datuk Seri Michael Chong had identified the man as &ldquo;Danny&rdquo; and he is an Indian-American who can speak fluent mandarin.
Danny frequently operates via social media luring the victims with ads of high paying jobs available abroad. After convincing the victim to apply for the job, he would personally meet the victims and picked them up in person before smuggling them through clandestine routes out of Malaysia to go Myanmar and Cambodia.
Victims were also held under ransom while they perform their job and negotiation between the syndicate and family are talked upon as many want their loved ones back home.
Victims participate in scam operations under tight watch
The victims later learn about the truth of the jobs they were getting into as members of the syndicates kept them under watchful eyes with armed guards 24/7 to ensure that they don&rsquo;t go against their jobs.
The victims were all kept within a compound on multiple floors where it&rsquo;s said to have over 300 people and many of them also included Malaysians.

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In a report earlier this week, Danny is identified as the same recruiter who had duped two teenagers from Pahang to take up a &ldquo;customer service position&rdquo; before they were smuggled to perform a love scam operation in Myanmar.
As of now, Datuk Seri Michael Cheong says that their department currently has as many as 74 complains regarding job scams but so far, only 23 people have been rescued. Authorities are currently in the right direction towards rescuing victims as operations are still currently ongoing.
&nbsp;Hopefully these victims will soon return to home to their families. Although it&rsquo;s tough for authorities to catch all these syndicates but slowly does it. 
A reminder to all to not easily fall for job scams easily as it could mean life or death for yourselves. I don&rsquo;t think anyone would want to go through the mental trauma of being smuggled around to work as scammers.

Victims were lured via high paying jobs on social media but authorities are still out to find more syndicates involved with the human trafficking issue happening in Malaysia.

Syndicate Who Lured Malaysians Into Job Scams Arrested 

Everyone knows the struggle of finding parking in a shopping mall on a weekend.
But the one thing many Malaysians love is the convenience of how we have Touch &lsquo;n Go to pay for parking cause it&rsquo;s super convenient. Many of us now live in the era of cashless transactions and sometimes we don&rsquo;t even bring cash around with us anymore.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656491718/unsigned/chv27t3ddxcderwhrhem.jpg" />
&nbsp;
But if you&rsquo;re one to go to 1 Utama, you&rsquo;ll know that out of all the biggest malls in Malaysia and it still does not support TnG payments as they have their own parking payment card known as ONECARD.
It all started with a TikTok
As jokes can be fun and all, TikTok user Ping Zhi Chuah took the opportunity to make a TikTok stating about the struggles of going to 1 Utama without small change.
*Warning foul language used
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@iamcpz/video/7077779316079136027" data-video-id="7077779316079136027">

<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>

Ping had no small change and used a RM20 note to pay for his parking and in return, rather than getting notes back, he received RM18 of change in 50 cent coins (which were all new and shiny). The TikToker showed his frustration in a joking way saying how he now has all the coins while holding it in his hand.
Taking an opportunity
After that went viral, our favourite meme site MGAG took the opportunity to jokingly roast 1 Utama for not having TnG as one of their cashless parking options.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656491756/unsigned/ivbftk6to1ftzrhpfl99.jpg" />
&nbsp;
But today the joker gets outplayed as 1 Utama came back with the ultimate response to MGAG as they plugged a promo for their ONECARD parking system.

1 Utama said that they had a good laugh on the post and figured a meme would be just as good as a response for this type of situation.
A spokesperson from 1 Utama had also shared that they do not believe in monopolies and want to keep parking rates affordable and free of surcharges for their shippers. Plus, for those using ONECARD, shoppers can earn UPoints and convert them into parking credits.
Get a free ONECARD!
If you haven&rsquo;t gotten a ONECARD yet, it&rsquo;s time to do so as 1 Utama is giving out it out for free till the 30th of June. All you have to do is flash your social media posting at the Customer Service or Concierge to get it!
Netizens love the friendly banter between MGAG and 1 Utama
As how we saw success of meme post boosting promotional value of a place or product such as how everyone&rsquo;s favourite GSC admin and Mydin Twitter admin did, it really does help spread the love in the community.
Check out some of the comments by those on social media:
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656491828/unsigned/w1ojq4kcsw2kjgbxubdr.png" />
&nbsp;
Only those who go to 1 Utama know the convenience of the ONECARD parking. Time to grab yourself one I guess :D 
Despite loving TnG&rsquo;s convenience, I&rsquo;d rather pay for cheaper parking than having to fork out RM8 to RM20 for parking in a day. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

1 Utama Hits Back At MGAG After Roasting Them For Not Having TnG Parking

Are you really Malaysian if you can&rsquo;t speak multiple languages? Unlike other countries, most Malaysians are bilingual or even trilingual which makes us one of the unique countries out there as we are living in a multiracial &amp; multilingual society.
But what makes us just as unique is how each state has their own dialects which can sometimes confuse most people, even locals. Have you tried having a full conversation with a Kelantanese person? Omg I always struggle to understand half the things they are saying.
The good thing about being able to speak multiple language is that it helps strengthen yourself in the working world and even the talent world.
A grab driver in Sarawak had posted a video on TikTok where he stole the spot light with his &ldquo;ability&rdquo; to speak another language. Typically, we don&rsquo;t see Malays talking in Mandarin or any other Chinese dialects but this got netizens impressed&hellip; and confused.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@pakwerangers405/video/7113753041467231515" data-video-id="7113753041467231515">

Off the get go, it&rsquo;s impressive that a non-Chinese person can confidently and fluently talk the language but as you can see in the video, even the uncle at the stall was also left in a state of shock when trying to communicate with him. The man was too stunned to speak.
One possible reason why most of us wouldn&rsquo;t understand the language is due to the Grab driver speaking in a local dialect which only Sarawakians can understand or is because he really isn&rsquo;t talking in a mandarin?
Not the first time the rider went viral on TikTok
Not too long ago, he had also gone viral when speaking Mandarin while at a motorcycle workshop. Although the Chinese man in the video didn&rsquo;t seem to understand what he&rsquo;s trying to say, his friends definitely had a good laugh as they were amazed at his speaking skills.
In fact, the video actually had 1.7 million views and 148.4K likes on it.

Do many Malaysians speak a Chinese language?

&nbsp;
To be fair, most schools in Malaysia teach Mandarin primarily, in comparison to the other Chinese dialects.
In Malaysia, Chinese languages vary from Mandarin to other dialects such as Cantonese, Hakka and Hokkien. These dialects may also further vary upon the state you live in and family upbringings. At the moment, there is around 22.4% of Chinese ethnicity living in Malaysia but it doesn&rsquo;t specificy how many of them could speak which language / dialects as some classify themselves as a &ldquo;banana&rdquo; (unable to speak ANY Chinese language / dialect).
Well, after passing my headphones to my intern&hellip; well I&rsquo;ll just put this gif down below as an reenactment of his reaction.

I guess we can say this isn&rsquo;t truly a Chinese dialect (at least according to him) but hey it&rsquo;s still entertaining. What do you think of this? Let us know in the comments.

Netizens Stunned At Sarawakian Grab Rider Speaking Mandarin?

If you ask Malaysians what do we all have in common, for sure someone will answer is that we all love to eat. No matter where you go, there&rsquo;s always something delicious to eat around the corner at almost any time of the day.
<img src="https://media4.giphy.com/media/tto9ax6TYcYslqXUxc/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611a45faa04bf746d1b0f6a1339341fb8e04760629f&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Episode 2 Abc GIF by The Bachelorette" />

But one thing that&rsquo;s difficult to handle is how people view our food and also maintaining the hygiene and cleanliness of the restaurant and the food. One slip up and a post on social media can mean the downfall of the restaurant as it is.
Recently, a customer took to Facebook having shared their bad experience at a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur as she came across a fishing hook while enjoying the meal with her family. Her father had found the hook inside the fish head embedded in a chunk of flesh.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656472126/unsigned/k4rmy0otzil5n4zrmipb.png" /> My genuine reaction to show I&rsquo;d look if I find a fishhook in my meal. 
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Isn&rsquo;t it incredible? We found a fishing hook inside a fish head. Fortunately, my father didn&rsquo;t take a whole bite, and broke apart the flesh before finding the hook.&rdquo; she said.
As she was stunned, she had asked for the manager to make a report on the incident.
Manager blames distributor and not their restaurant
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656472142/unsigned/yrm52bsbs2wffdkaaui5.png" />
&nbsp;
The woman flagged one of the waiters and explained what would happen if other families did not discover the hook or if children were to share the meal. The waiter did apologise and said it was the kitchen&rsquo;s fault for being careless which is understandable.
But things took a twist when she went to pay for the meal, she questioned the manager in charge over the matter. However, the manager allegedly responded stating that &ldquo;it&rsquo;s not our fault, it&rsquo;s the supplier&rsquo;s problem.&rdquo;
<img src="https://i.gifer.com/8mx.gif" alt="Shocked face shocked sorprendido GIF on GIFER - by Lahuginn" />
&nbsp;
Even after this issue, the restaurant had only deducted 60 cents from the total bill as a form of &ldquo;compensation&rdquo;.
Report to JKN if ethics are not followed
The public is advised to immediately make a complain to the State Health Department (JKN) if people who sell food without complying with the ethics of preparation of the food.
Earlier in January 2022, a famous restaurant in Kelantan had been penalized under the Food Act 1983 for causing food hazards after a child had accidentally swallowed a nail which was used to seal the food packaging.

Looks like we&rsquo;ll have to be more careful when we eat outside. Sad to say the behaviour from the restaurant owner was truly disappointing and hope that no one will need to go through an issue like this again.

Customer Finds Fish Hook In Food! Restaurant Blames Supplier Instead

Yes, it is true, as true as the clouds and birds in the sky. Malaysians can now go to Thailand with just 24 hours short notice, and all it takes is just 10 Ringgit Malaysia!&nbsp;
Travelers and tourists who want to use the border pass must apply online 24 hours before their departure, and the application of this border pass can be done through the Thailand Pass web portal.
<img src="https://www.traveldailymedia.com/assets/2021/01/shutterstock_1517075027.jpg" alt="Foreign tourist arrivals in Thailand fall to decade low" />
However, only tourists from certain states in Malaysia are allowed to use this travel pass for their vacation, which are people from Perlis, Kedah, North Perak and Kelantan. It's sad for us people living in the middle and southern part of Malaysia.&nbsp;
Although only Malaysians from certain states can cross to Thailand, they can only stay in Thailand for 3 days maximum. What&rsquo;s more exciting is, according to reports, visitors or tourists from Thailand who use the border pass are allowed to travel back and forth into the country as long as they have had full Covid-19 vaccination.

It may sound fun to other people, but there are still some procedures that need to be taken before we can actually cross the border. Travel insurance is essential for Malaysian tourists to proceed, as well as a health screening.
My fellow friends from Perlis, Kedah, North Perak and Kelantan, what are you waiting for? It's time to have some fun in Thailand! This two year pandemic has made us dull, it's time to cross borders and open up our eyes to new culture again!

Even one of MYC! team too shared her terrifying moment this morning when she was at her house with the family, "My house&nbsp;gegarrr. My whole house! From the second floor; the bed and everything was gegarrrr that it woke up everyone who was sleeping," she said who is currently working from home at Teluk Panglima Garang.
While another member of MYC! confessed that she barely felt anything as she was still asleep, (still sleeping aiyo) as she acknowledged us (MYC!), "I really don't feel anything. It's true what my mom said. I can sleep through a hurricane... But the tiles in my house crack wehhh." Can't lie, this girl is something.&nbsp;
Thankfully, nobody from the team or any Malaysian got hurt during the earthquake. Team MYC! is advising everybody to be always alert and stay safe!

Malaysians Felt Earthquakes All Around The Klang Valley

A normal reaction to rejection would usually be crying your heart out or probably download dating apps but this man&hellip;he took it way too far.
29-year-old man set a woman&rsquo;s car on fire in-front of her apartment because she had been rejecting his love for the past years.
The incident happened at Taman Bukit Serdang, Seri Kembangan at approximately 5:20am.
Watch it below:

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The fire was noticed by a neighbour who informed the woman that her car was set ablaze. They arrived on the scene to find a bunch of firefighters trying to put out the fire.
Assistant Commissioner A Anbalagan, Serdang Chief District Officer, revealed that they were able to identify the assailant after reviewing the area's CCTV footage and on the same day itself, the suspect was arrested. His motorcycle, clothes, and the lighter he used at the crime site were all taken by the police.
Surprisingly as well, he had no significant criminal history, and his urine test for drugs even came up to be negative.
After investigation, it was found that the motive for the crime was revenge for a prior romantic rejection.
The suspect will be held in custody for five days, until December 10th, and will be investigated under Section 435 of the Torture Act.
When the video of the incident was uploaded onto Twitter, many netizens had something to say.
Most pointed out how the phrase, &ldquo;Just say no&rdquo; is ultimately redundant when men are capable of inflicting harm even after a courteous rejection.

Man Sets Woman’s Car On Fire After Being Rejected

As part of an art project, Zou reportedly spent 21 days. eating free cuisine, staying at luxury hotels, utilising VIP lounges and facilities, and wearing expensive clothes and jewellery without spending a dollar, according to the South China Morning Post.
The 23-year-old student documented the entire encounter and screened the video in June at Beijing's Central Academy of Fine Arts
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rWwtBl7zL8c" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In September, Zou came to Weibo to upload a few clips demonstrating how she tried on beautiful outfits, sampled free snacks in malls and restaurants, and slept in airport lounges and hotel lobbies. She also utilised Ikea as an office and tried on jade bracelets that were being offered at auctions.
She even &nbsp;dressed up in expensive-looking clothes, wore a false ring, and carried a fake Herm&egrave;s bag to create a convincing "socialite" impression.
Wow she was deffo living the dream..
According to Zou, she "pretended to be one of these people" in order to learn how to exist on society's "abundant material."
She noted in her piece, "It's interesting how these materials are distributed." "They're frequently given to persons who appear to have significant fortune in life."
However, obviously there&rsquo;s going be a controversy because as much as i hate to admit this.. Whether you do good or bad people are always gonna talk &amp; find something to hate.&nbsp;
There was a lot of mixed feedback about it, it was split on their opinion of Zous project with some accusing her of taking advantage of establishment
Big yikes..
A local publication which saw the positive message of the project wrote that&nbsp;&ldquo;We can say with confidence that she lived 21 days in the metropolis freely, relying on the tolerance and kindness of our commercial society.&rdquo;
Other write-ups however, was accusing Zou of being a &ldquo;fake socialite&rdquo; who exploited policies to live a &ldquo;highly extravagant lifestyle.&rdquo;
In response to the negative reactions, Zou said she dressed up to look the part for the project which, she explained, is not about wealth inequality or a socialite&rsquo;s lifestyle.
I guess its time for me to look for upcoming art projects..who knows what fun crazy adventure things i will get myself into
