Dining in at a restaurant is something many Malaysians love to do and its either we get top-notch quality service, or we&rsquo;ll return home only to tell our family and friends one spicy story about it.

&nbsp;
Sometimes we stumble upon posts online whether it being from the perspective of the employee or even the customer. Most of the time it&rsquo;s about customers complaining about the service of the restaurant or even restaurant owners calling out customers who left without paying.
You can&rsquo;t help it though, sometimes the customer isn&rsquo;t always right but there comes a time where attitude of the employees can tarnish the image of a restaurant. Due to social media being a strong influence it can also influence the cancel culture onto restaurants.
Recently a Pizzeria Dihyang restaurant in KL had become the talk of social media as it went under fire for refusing to help a sick customer.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1655960494/unsigned/d7zlmmpyxn8lpycvnumz.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Facebook user Alex Hooi shared his experience online as an unpleasant and terrible experience when visiting the eatery in Kuala Lumpur. Alex had gotten sick in the evening and had vomited his entire dinner but out. But to clarify, he stated that it was not due to the food&rsquo;s cleanliness.
What made the post viral was the service of the restaurant. Rather than ensuring Alex was okay and offering him a drink after throwing up, the restaurant insisted him to purchase their bottle of water (which is RM23.50) instead. Alex was clearly annoyed and after dealing with the staff who insisted to purchase the drink, he later returned to his seat where his friend had offered him some water.
What ticked Alex off the most was when he went to pay for the bill, he attempted to explain the issue to the manager and she replied &ldquo;Sir, if you needed tap water to clear your throat, we have tap water in the toilet&rdquo;.
<img src="https://c.tenor.com/GMhkpZwnG0EAAAAM/excuse-me.gif" />
&nbsp;
I ain&rsquo;t no restaurant owner but that ain&rsquo;t right&hellip;
With the price charged for the food + service, it doesn&rsquo;t look that worth it at all.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1655960561/unsigned/vpatijsnwxk0zvwqi3mg.jpg" /> In the bill, the Sole L&rsquo;Italiana Still is the drink which is RM23.50 each.
&nbsp;
The rude comment by the manager got netizens fuming and the most wholesome thing is that they all had checked on Alex if he was feeling okay or better.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1655960571/unsigned/y84nvdqwoc0gr2nowrp4.png" />
&nbsp;
While the restaurant trends online, netizens had also shared the story on their own social media as they called out the pizzeria and demanded an explanation. Instead of responding in a calm and orderly manner, the restaurant had simply reposted one of their Instagram stories and simply brushed it off and said &ldquo;Another story maker. Thank you for coming and ciao ciao&rdquo;.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1655960586/unsigned/sdupv8wcmutwswkmwicu.webp" />
&nbsp;
To add fuel to the fire, the manager of the restaurant had also updated her Facebook status asking customers like him to &ldquo;go f*** yourself b****&rdquo;.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1655960602/unsigned/shhnk20yx46hczgaiza2.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Well now, that isn&rsquo;t good publicity now ain&rsquo;t it? Ever since the whole fiasco, the restaurant&rsquo;s Facebook page has been receiving a lot of hate and is now rated 1.7 out of 5 Stars on Facebook. Yikes.
Guess we&rsquo;ll have to wait and see what other drama will happen from this. Is it time for the restaurant to get cancelled? Let&rsquo;s find out soon enough. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

KL Pizzeria Store Manager Goes Viral For Telling Customer To “Go F*** Yourself”

Oh, the joy of travelling. We all know how excited we can get when it comes to getting away from the city and to sit back and relax.
But don&rsquo;t forget though, travelling can also get pretty hectic especially when you got to plan ahead going to the airport and ensuring you don&rsquo;t overpack.

Last but not least is your boarding pass, although we are going digital now, it&rsquo;s a good practice to always carry a physical copy of it! While we are at this, TikTok user Yin Fei (@feifei_04) had posted a video of him having a good laugh with the immigration officers while at an airport in Sabah.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@feifei_04/video/7125777144394812699" data-video-id="7125777144394812699">

<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>

In the video, we can see that he had whipped out an XXL sized boarding pass to present to the immigration officers. Not only were the officers amused but other passengers in the back can be seen laughing.
I mean I&rsquo;d be laughing too! Its not often you get to see something like this.
While entertained by the size of the boarding pass, the officers also took the chance to take a picture of him posing with the boarding pass. Thankfully the people behind them are laughing along if not I&rsquo;m sure no one would like to be waiting around just to get onto a flight.
Netizens found the video just as amusing
Since the upload of the video, it&rsquo;s gained up to 1.4 million views and 138,400 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. Netizens all around had took to the comment section to commend Yin Fei for making the officers day.
Here are some of the comments:

&nbsp;
If you ever want a good practical joke to pull on your friends, I guess this is the best one. Though it might be cheaper for you to print a normal boarding pass instead of a giant one.

Immigration Officers & Travellers Amused After Man Shows Up With Huge Boarding Pass

Pencapaian anak muda adalah sesuatu yang perlu diraikan agar ia boleh membangkitkan semangatnya untuk terus melakar sejarah dan menjadi inspirasi kepada anak muda yang lain.
Begitulah juga dengan perkembangan adik Muhammad Khawarizmi ini yang berupaya untuk mereka bentuk dan mencipta roket bahan api pepejalnya sendiri pada umur 9 tahun
Siapakah saudara Muhammad Khawarizmi ini?
<img src="https://assets.hmetro.com.my/images/articles/UTA_Khawo_HMfield_image_listing_featured_v2.var_1659654083.jpg" alt="Ada saintis dalam Khawo!" />
Beliau kini adalah pelajar tingkatan 1 Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Dato&rsquo; Syed Omar, Alor Setar, Kedah.
&nbsp;
Pencapaian terdekatnya adalah mencipta aplikasi telefon untuk mengawal peluncuran dan pergerakan roketnya sendiri dengan menggunakan perisian CAD (Computer-aided design) Fusion 360.
CAD Fusion 360 ini adalah perisian yang digunakan untuk melakar permodelan produk dalam bentuk tiga dimensi (3D).
Beliau juga berjaya menyediakan atur cara mesin analisis di makmal dalam penghasilan bahan api roketnya, berkat dukungan dari ayahnya sendiri.
Anak yang hebat itu datangnya dari ibu bapa yang hebat.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660192307/unsigned/q85auuydhedm79fbonrr.gif" />
Begitulah jua dengan kisah adik Muhammad Khawarizmi yang mendapat sokongan penuh dari ayahnya sejak kecil lagi.
Ayahnya, Muhammad Kamalrul, 38, sedang berkhidmat sebagai Penolong Pegawai Sains di Jabatan Kimia Malaysia, Kedah. Sebelumnya beliau pernah bekerja di Bahagian Forensic Toxicology, ibu pejabat Jabatan Kimia Malaysia, Petaling Jaya.
Wahh, gah betul bunyi jawatan encik Kamalrul ni ya😎
&nbsp;
Muhammad Khawarizmi ada berkongsi tentang ayahnya semasa temu bual bersama Bernama baru-baru ini:
&nbsp;
"Saya dan ayah mengkaji dan melakukan semuanya ini tanpa sebarang asa pengetahuan. Kami banyak membuat eksperimen sehinggalah berjaya menghasilkan roket tersebut setahun kemudian, ketika saya berumur 10 tahun,"
&nbsp;
Kisah mereka ini menunjukkan betapa pentingnya memberikan peluang eksplorasi kepada anak-anak oleh ibu bapa mereka dari kecil lagi. Ia juga akan lebih berkesan apabila ibu bapa itu sendiri melibatkan diri dalam proses tersebut.
Anak sulung dari 3 beradik ini mula mendapat perhatian pada tahun 2019
Satu video berdurasi 2 minit 9 saat yang telah di muat naik ke youtube pada tahun 2019 mendapat perhatian ramai.
Video tersebut memaparkan proses pembuatan model roket bahan api pepejal yang dibuat oleh Muhammad Khawarizmi sendiri, dari pembuatan lakaran objek dalam perisisan CAD sehinggalah pelancaran roket tersebut.
Lihat video penuh di bawah:
<iframe style="width: 531px; height: 298px;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vRc0_wW6RCw" width="531" height="298" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Video ini telah tular pada waktu itu dan orang ramai mula menggelar beliau sebagai "Rocketeer Termuda Malaysia".
Wahhh 👏👏👏
Apakah perkembangan terkini beliau?
<img src="https://img.astroawani.com/2022-08/41659587769_Rocketeer.jpg" alt="Kenali Muhammad Khawarizmi, 'rocketeer' termuda Malaysia | Astro Awani" />
Muhammad Khwarizmi berkongsi, "selepas menghasilkan roket, saya dan ayah terfikir untuk memindahkan pelancaran roket dalam bentuk animasi dan permainan dalam talian, jadi kami sama-sama mengkaji dan berjaya menghasilkan permainan berasaskan pendidikan sesuai untuk kanak-kanak dan remaja.
"Pada penghujung tahun 2020, saya sudah mula fokus kepada game developing, coding, programming dan pembentukan aplikasi yang dapat mengawal pelancaran roket dengan menggunakan telefon dan wireless," tambahnya.
Akhirnya, gandingan mereka berjaya menyiapkan permainan dalam talian yang disandarkan pada elemen pendidikan melalui perisian 4S Game.
Namun, buat masa sekarang, permainan dalam talian ini hanya ada pada peringkat pemain tunggal sahaja. Oleh itu, mereka sedang berusaha untuk menaik taraf permainan itu bagi mencapai peringkat berbilang pemain pula.
Bukan itu sahaja, dua beranak ini juga telah mencipta aplikasi telefon yang membenarkan ibu bapa mengawal akttiviti penggunaan komputer anak-anak mereka.
Wahh berapa banyak lagilah projek yang mereka sedang usahakan.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660192839/unsigned/gedjub1nnuokpt9ihvrt.gif" />Rocke
Apapun, kami di sini sentiasa mendukung dan memerhatikan pencapaian adik Khawarizmi ini. Semoga kisah beliau dapat memberi inspirasi kepada anak muda dan juga kepada ibu bapa di luar sana.
Ibu bapa ini kan guru pertama anak-anak&hellip; Maka, gunakan lah masa anda dengan baik dalam melahirkan anak-anak yang hebat!

Muhammad Khawarizmi, ‘Rocketeer’ Termuda Malaysia

Does the price of USD$7.99 (RM35.53) ring any bells? Perhaps not for us in Southeast Asia, but for our friends over in the US, this is the price customers are currently paying for their ad-free Disney+ subscription plan.
Sadly though, all the pricing will change by the end of this year, with the streaming service just announcing the launch of <a href="https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/ad-supported-disney-subscription-tier-to-launch-december-8-in-the-u-s/">Disney+&rsquo;s latest ad-supported subscription tier</a> which will debut on December 8, 2022.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660195371/unsigned/ve1vozhcbfxorfwpi5yp.gif" alt="" width="512" height="288" />
Okay, that doesn&rsquo;t sound too bad. Well, that is actually bad news for US consumers, as they now need to pay more money to watch Disney+ without the annoying commercials. Ugh!
Starting from December 2022, the previous ad-free subscription plan of USD $7.99 will have an increase of USD $3 going to USD$10.99 per month (RM 48.87).
The price tag of USD $7.99/month will still be available on the streaming service however, consumers will be forced to watch their favourite shows and movies with running ads.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660195440/unsigned/dvcs51g6ku83sayjjdkq.gif" alt="" width="523" height="392" />
Why Is Disney+ Increasing The Prices?
First things first: building a successful streaming service is extremely costly.
Companies like Disney+ is just one amongst many who are currently spending billions of cash to appeal and attract both old and new subscribers.&nbsp; Providing fresh content and raising the prices of the subscription plans is just one simple way to help raise the overall company revenue, and with the amount of content that Disney has to offer, consumers will most likely be willing to spend some extra cash.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660195527/unsigned/u8tbt7wv8x6o5vuvjzsi.webp" alt="" width="540" height="440" />
&ldquo;With our new ad-supported Disney+ offering, and an expanded lineup of plans across our entire streaming portfolio, we will be providing greater consumer choice at a variety of price points to cater to the diverse needs of our viewers and appeal to an even broader audience,&rdquo; said Kareem Daniel, Chairman of Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution. &ldquo;Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ feature unparalleled content and viewing experiences and offer the best value in streaming today, with over 100,000 movie titles, TV episodes, original shows, sports, and live events collectively.&rdquo;
Disney+ Hotstar Malaysia
Walt Disney Company in association with Astro, the country&rsquo;s leading TV platform, launched Disney Plus Hotstar in Malaysia on June 1, with both local and international content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660195610/unsigned/oeztfdigbmtodwcnrsfn.webp" alt="" width="591" height="406" />
As for Malaysian Disney+ lovers, you do not need to worry as current prices are still normal. Pheww.
Direct subscribers can still access the service for <a href="https://www.hotstar.com/my/subscribe/get-started">RM54.90 for three months</a>, while <a href="https://product.astro.com.my/apps/disney">Astro</a> offers a variety of package deals, with an add-on of RM5 per month for existing subscribers of the Astro Movies pack.

Uh-Oh! Disney+ Just Got More Expensive!

The Queen Gambit star, Anya Taylor Joy and the actor of X-man, Nicholas Hoult will come back with an exciting new film - The Menu! In the trailer that was released yesterday, we can see them indulging foods in a luxurious restaurant. However, they soon suspect that something is off there.
<img src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx55Rkynhtk" alt="" /><iframe style="width: 716px; height: 264px;" title="THE MENU Trailer (2022)" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kx55Rkynhtk" width="716" height="264" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The trailer of this dark-comedy film gives us a glimpse of the mysterious ambience surrounding the characters before gun shots and blood occupy the screen. When the food journey turns into a dangerous puzzle that traps Anya and Nicholas, they need to escape.

&ldquo;What happens inside this room is meaningless compared to what happens outside&rdquo; Said the Chef, who is played by Ralph Fiennes. Yet, we don&rsquo;t really know what awaits them outside as they run away from the restaurant to the natural world.&nbsp;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660186451/unsigned/t5pzwjwbeidulnnavycq.png" alt="" width="639" height="631" />

From &ldquo;we are eating the Ocean&rdquo; to &ldquo;nature is timeless&rdquo; spoken by the casts, it seems to be a film about nature. As the cold waves are rolling back and forth on the shores, the restaurant located there feels like a lone civilization contrasting to the wild realm. We can&rsquo;t assume much, the only way to find out about this is to go to the cinema to watch it.
 <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660186485/unsigned/lhgjuq9dhutsypd3ew5o.png" alt="" width="562" height="421" />

The Queen Gambit that&nbsp;made Anya a hot topic, won 11 Primetime Emmy Awards, including the Best Actress Award (miniseries or television film) given to Anya Taylor Joy. The show also casts The Maze Runner actor - Thomas Brodie-Sangster, whose chemistry with Anya creates some memorable moments in the TV show. This time, Anya carries her charms to The Menu, in which she explores the secret of the lavish restaurant in her elegant pink dress that matches her cold aura. Moreover, Nicholas Hoult is also a part of The Menu, who is well known for playing the character - Hank McCoy, Beast in X-Men. We all can&rsquo;t wait to see what their interactions can bring to the film!

Malaysia’s Biggest & Coolest Sneaker Convention, Sneakerlah Is Back!

Do you want to know the bitter truth? Educations is expensive, especially the higher educations. People need a huge amount of money to be able to further their studies.
Some governments did step in to help the students with their studies. Countries like Germany and Norway are giving minimal to no cost on their higher educations. While countries like America and Malaysia build an organization that can provide loans for their higher education students.
But it is a loan, their financial concern is not permanently solved. They still have to pay it back after graduating, in full.
Therefore, Malaysia has taken the step to provide loan waiver to first class graduates.
<img src="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/imageserver/image/%2Fmethode%2Ftimes%2Fprod%2Fweb%2Fbin%2F9e17a42e-2813-11ea-b78c-de7d985f5cad.jpg?crop=4075%2C2292%2C0%2C212&amp;resize=1200" alt="First-class degrees for all students by 2030 | News | The Times" />
This is definitely not a big news for Malaysians, as it has always been like that before, it&rsquo;s just that since 2019, the loan waiver has only been given to those from B40 (low-income) families.
Thus now, they are bringing it back following the amount of PTPTN fund that has been increased- governments have allocated RM3bil per year for PTPTN loan. Hence, an average of 180,000 new students will have the chance to further their study with this loan.
<img src="https://assets.hmetro.com.my/images/articles/obj16482029_1629262096.jpg" alt="Nama Ismail Sabri jadi bualan netizen" />
Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced during the launch of PTPTN&rsquo;s 25th Silver Jubilee Anniversary celebrations:
"I wish to announce that the government will once again be giving the special waiver to any student with a PTPTN loan, and have a first-class honors degree, whereby they are allowed to change their loan to be exempted from repayment without taking into account their economic background, race or religion," he said.
He hopes this news will motivate more students to study hard and strive to be the top graduates and later be exempted from paying the PTPTN loan.
And yeah don't spend the money on something else...

Additional information on PTPTN
PTPTN is a fund established under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education with the aim of providing loans for eligible Malaysian students that want to fulfill their tertiary studies at some selected universities.
Graduates ought to start paying for the loan 6 months after their study. This amount of time was deemed enough for the graduates to prepare and plan on how they wanted to manage their financial responsibilities.
The loan supports almost all types of education like diploma, first degree, master, doctorate and many others.
Refer to<a href="http://www.ptptn.gov.my/gateway/"> http://www.ptptn.gov.my/gateway/</a> for more details.
In a nutshell, this reintroduction of loan waiver will definitely help motivate the students to focus more on their study.
But remember, to always prioritize your health - your sleep and diet. What&rsquo;s the point of having good results and still looking all weak anyways? Good luck peeps, we can do this!💪

Good News: PTPTN Loan Waiver Will Be Given To All Top Graduates

Normally when our national athletes are abroad for a competition, we Malaysians would give them full support no matter regardless if they bring back a medal.
For those who are athletes (whether it being physical sports or even Esports) you&rsquo;ll know the mental stress is no stranger when it comes to training and competing.
Recently, our athletes had went to Birmingham, United Kingdom for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and many of our athletes are making the headlines.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660111591/unsigned/m2gatf4iacgp9qvc2hdy.webp" />

Unfortunately, our Queen of diving, Datuk Pandelela Rinong was in the wrong spotlight after a local newspaper had called her out due to her &ldquo;disappointing&rdquo; performance during her diving events. Stadium Astro reported that during the mixed synchronised 10-metre platform finals, she and Jellson Jabillin had placed fourth and that they missed out on securing a medal.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

That said local newspaper is Harian Metro and their tweet that was shared to their official Twitter page had caught the attention of many netizens.
&ldquo;National diving athlete Datuk Pandelela Rinong continues to disappoint the country when she failed for the third time in a row to secure any medals, including gold, at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.&rdquo; they wrote.
In fact, the newspaper even pointed out that Pandelela did not finish on the podium during multiple events such as the 10m platform individual and 10m platform synchro event prior to her finals with Jabillin.
<img src="https://i0.wp.com/media1.tenor.com/images/91f1746c74a12c82ef9488a01dad07f6/tenor.gif?resize=650,400" />

&nbsp;
Regardless of the outcome, many were still proud that Pandelela had given it all during Birmingham 2022.
Harian Metro&rsquo;s tweet certainly gained the attention of many netizens on social media and slammed the newspaper for their unnecessarily harsh and negative tone.
Here are some of the tweets by netizens:

Despite of her performance, Pandelela had kept her head up and shared her thoughts of Birmingham 2022 in a Twitter thread.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Tough love in Birmingham. It was a humbled experience in my 4th Commonwealth Games. No medal to bring home 🇲🇾 this time around. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/B2022?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#B2022</a> This is a thread...

&nbsp;
Our diving queen had opened up stating that during her preparation for Birmingham 2022, her body recover process was slower than expected after returning from the <a href="https://myc.my/articles/1378/pandelela-bags-bronze-at-fina-world-championship-and-celebrates-it-in-the-most-malaysian-way-possible">Budapest World Championship</a> (where she had bagged a Bronze medal).
She also admitted that she struggled during the first day due to her not being 100% physically fit as she was trying to adapt to the local time zone. Despite it, she mentioned that she still had some great dives with Dhabitah Sabri and Jellson Jabllin during their mixed synchro. Pandelela also gave credit to Jellson who was still competing despite being injured.
She ended off the thread stating that she&rsquo;s thankful for the support that everyone had given her and that she&rsquo;s proud of the Malaysian diving team where the youngsters did well this time around.
Even YB Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah had shared his thoughts on the headline released by Harian Metro on Twitter, LinkedIn and TikTok.

Hopefully in the future our own local newspaper outlets will think twice before publishing such headlines. There&rsquo;s one saying most would say, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s easy to talk but why don&rsquo;t you try doing it yourself?&rdquo;.

Local Newspaper Slammed After Calling Pandelela’s Performance “Disappointing” At Commonwealth Games

The Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022 was passed by Dewan Negara yesterday. So, what is this bill about?&nbsp; What does it mean to housewives in Malaysia? What sort of victory that we can tell from the perspective of feminists in Malaysia ?
 I would like to unravel these questions one by one in case you didn't quite catch up with the progress of this event.
<h2>Timeline :&nbsp;Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022 </h2>
August 2021：The bill was drafted by the ministry and the Attorney-General's Chambers
19 July 2022：It was tabled by the Human Resources Minister - Datuk Seri M. Saravanan
25 July 2022:&nbsp; The bill was passed by Dewan Rakyat
9 August 2022: The bill was passed by Dewan Negara
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660110420/unsigned/pmbhl42auldfmqecwkij.jpg" alt="" width="586" height="428" />
<div class="article-image-gallery">

</div>
<h2>Explanation : Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022&nbsp;</h2>
By introducing the Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022, the Social Security Scheme (SKSSR) managed by the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso/ SOCSO) will be implemented:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The bill provides insurance for the housewives who register voluntarily to this programme, which includes disability benefits, medical coverage, constant attendance allowance, survivor's pension and funeral benefit.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Compensations can only be applied when there&rsquo;s an occurrence of a disabling accident.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">As long as the housewives continue to pay for the programme, the event of divorce, the death of the husband and the failure of the husband to contribute due to different reasons such as the loss of income would not affect the coverage of the insurance fees&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The husband or housewife will have to pay RM120 in advance to SOCSO to obtain 12 months of protection.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Single mothers or homemakers could also contribute if their husbands opt not to enrol into the programme with a payment as low as RM10 per month.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The scheme will not charge the estimated numbers of 150,000 housewives living in poverty, who register under the government&rsquo;s i-Suri initiative.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The requirements for signing up the scheme: -A housewife, which is defined in the bill as any woman attending the household chores on a full- time or part time basis, regardless of one&rsquo;s marital status. -Below 55-years-old</li>
</ul>
<h2>How Does It Help Housewives in Malaysia?&nbsp;</h2>
<a href="https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/07/28/swakian-homemakers-laud-housewives-social-security-bill-2022/">Some housewives</a>, particularly single mothers, seemed to be thrilled by the passing of the Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022 by Dewan Rakyat back in July as they responded to the event positively. 
&ldquo;Imagine, at my age, it is very expensive to get an insurance policy these days. I am trying to put food on the table for my small family and getting an insurance policy is not viable at all for me. This HSS Bill is definitely timely.&rdquo; &nbsp;Patricia Charles, 44, single
&ldquo;I strongly support the bill because we do not know what the future holds. This insurance scheme provides a sense of relief in times of need, especially when one does not have much savings.&rdquo;&nbsp; Hartanty Hardi, 44, Housewife
&ldquo;Since I&rsquo;m self-employed with no regular income, this scheme is very helpful. It also allows husbands to show concern and take care of their wives&rsquo; needs.&rdquo;&nbsp; Wan Anis Ilyani Wan Mohd Azhar, 34, Home baker&nbsp;

<h2>The Situations Of Housewives In Malaysia</h2>
As<a href="https://api.nst.com.my/news/nation/2022/07/814807/housewives-social-security-bill-tabled-parliament-today#:~:text=The%20bill%20proposes%20that%20a%20scheme%2C%20known%20as,constant%20attendance%20allowance%2C%20survivor%27s%20pension%20and%20funeral%20benefit."> there are </a>approximately 4.95 million or 68.3% of women of working age in Malaysia who do not have their own career, the bill can be relevant and essential to this group of people.
Datuk Emeritus Prof Dr Norma, the Economics and Social Protection Expert in Universiti Malaya,&nbsp; pointed out that people who are not formally employed would not be covered by any form of social protection as Malaysia&rsquo;s social protection is offered according to one employment&rsquo;s status. Thus, the establishment of this bill can be perceived as a right direction to ensure the safety and health of women, especially those who suffer from poverty.
Here comes the difficult questions : To what extent does it benefit housewives? Does this signify a progress in the laws&rsquo; protection for women?&nbsp;
<h2>What Does The Future Hold For Women In Malaysia In Terms Of Policy Making?</h2>
In my opinion, the scheme is still conducted on a voluntary basis, which means that if the husband denies his wife any income and refuses to participate in it, the wife would not be able to access the given benefits.
However, Awang said that SOCSO will promote awareness campaigns like engagement sessions, road shows, Prihatin Squad activities, and its Social Synergy programme to endorse husbands to contribute to the SKSSR.&nbsp; Despite its lacking, it is still a step ahead on the long road of safeguarding women rights in Malaysia.&nbsp;
On a side note, the drafting of <a href="https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2022/07/08/time-for-a-menstrual-leave-policy-says-mp/">the menstrual leave policy </a>is still an ongoing debate in Malaysia. Without the implementation of such a law, a Sabah based company 'Brutti &amp; Besi' has granted its employees to take leave for period pain, becoming a pioneer in challenging the stigma of menstruation.&nbsp;

What does the passing of Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022 mean to women and feminism in Malaysia?

Housewife Social Safety Bill 2022 Has Been Passed!

Remember that scene from the Oscar-winning film &lsquo;Parasite&rsquo;, where the basement apartment was completely flooded with water?
Unfortunately, that scene had just played out in real life on Monday night, when the entire country of South Korea experienced their record breaking rainfall, which has caused roads, metro stations and buildings to be completely submerged under water.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660107483/unsigned/xvjghllx72bgj2bvcxd8.webp" alt="" width="450" height="340" />
Good news is that the water was quickly drained in approximately 2 hours after the flooding had happened, however the damages were already done, with many lives lost and several South Koreans left homeless.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660107535/unsigned/idjw0uduiyijkfbqyzsh.jpg" alt="" width="658" height="551" />

What Happened&nbsp;
Torrential rains had started earlier this August, causing massive floods and landslides in Seoul and its surrounding Gyeonggi Province, the central Chungcheong and southwestern Jeolla Province.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

President Yoon Suk Yeol immediately held an emergency meeting at the country&rsquo;s National Disaster and Safety Status Control Centre on Tuesday, adding the government should revamp its disaster management, taking &nbsp;into account the effects of climate change.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I urge authorities to implement all-out measures until the situation comes to an end, to protect the lives and property of the people,&rdquo; Yoon said. &ldquo;The torrential rain is believed to be from the abnormal weather caused by climate change, with the amount of rainfall per hour breaking the record high in the history of meteorological observation in our nation.&rdquo;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660107682/unsigned/u7gxvxk32daldlwrhcoe.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="545" />
South Korea&rsquo;s Basement Apartments
If you have watched the Korean movie &lsquo;Parasite&rsquo;, you might recognize that this is a &lsquo;banjiha&rsquo;- a typical South Korean basement apartment, which is commonly preferred by youngsters as an inexpensive housing option, typically starting from 540,000 Won (~RM 1,838.36).
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://d220hvstrn183r.cloudfront.net/attachment/14917265564235595703" alt="Banjiha, Potret Kemiskinan Korea dalam Parasite - Historia" />
Many find living in these basement apartments to be quite sufficient and cosy, however when it comes to natural disasters, these types of houses are the first to be knocked down, or in this case, to be submerged under water, due to it being below ground level.
That is exactly what happened to the people who lived in this pink underground apartment, where two sisters in their 40s and one 13-year-old girl got trapped by water and had drowned to their death.&nbsp;
"I feel devastated about this tragedy, If I'd come home earlier perhaps, I could have saved them. I have a lot of regrets," said Sunwoo, the upstairs neighbour who had lived in the flat above the family for over 10 years.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660107796/unsigned/dawksywhbu37f9bmdz00.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="449" />
The country currently remains on high alert, with the South Korean president ordering government officials to evacuate residents from high-risk areas, and urged business to grant employees to work from home.
Search and recovery efforts are still being made, and will continue for the upcoming week, as the country braces itself for an approaching typhoon, which will likely reach the peninsula sometime this week.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660111507/unsigned/fxvo12bnqqo4flft7fpf.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="559" />

South Korea Hit By Its Worst Rain Storm In 80 Years!

When we say the word sex or bring up the topic of it, many Malaysians tend to find it pretty awkward. But this time around, times have change and many Malaysians are now opening up to the word to make it something more &ldquo;normal&rdquo;.
Durex Malaysia had recently conducted a Sexual health and Intimate Wellness Survey (&ldquo;Durex Survey&rdquo;) and it looks like Malaysian youth between the age of 18 and 30 are now more sexually active. The results of this were revealed during the launch of Durex #COMETOGETHER where they aim to encourage to more open conversations around sex.
Based off the insights of the Durex Survey, Durex is committed to helping Malaysian youths to reduce the gaps of sexual knowledge and equip the youth with accurate information and guide them in making a better and more informed decision around their sexual activities.
Durex Marketing director Tiffany Tang reveals that sexual health conversations among Malaysians youths are crucial towards the empowerment to make informed decisions. It&rsquo;s a known fact that the fear tactics that were implemented in the past no longer work.

&ldquo;With the #COMETOGETHER campaign, Durex is providing honest, age-appropriate information and skills necessary to help them take personal responsibility for their health and overall well-being&rdquo;
"It revealed that a large majority of them had their first sexual experience before the age of 22. Based on the survey, misconceptions about Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and pregnancy are still prevalent,&rdquo; she said.
Marketing Manager of Durex Malaysia Jerome Goh had shared that the progression seen between the survey done in 2016 and in 2022 was an eye-opening result.
&ldquo;We are here to empower youth and we want them to know they have a say in making a decision and respecting themselves. As Malaysia I know in a new beginning, we would like to normalize the conversations by collaborating with higher education institutions with the help of Siti from SPOT Malaysia.&rdquo;
Here&rsquo;s some key findings of the survey:

&nbsp;
&bull; 35.4 per cent of youths claimed to have had sexual intercourse compared to only 18.8 per cent in 2016. &bull; 62 per cent of youths had their first sexual experience at 22 years old or younger. The figure in 2016 was 42 per cent. &bull; 31 per cent believed the myth that a woman cannot get pregnant during her period, whereas 20 per cent were unsure. &bull; 31 per cent did not know if a woman could get pregnant the first time she engages in sex.

The panel discussion was hosted by Marketing Manager of Durex Malaysia, Jerome Goh along side SPOT Malaysia founder, Siti Aishah, UNFPA Programme Analysist, Tengku Aira Tengku Razif, Registered Counsellor and Sex Therapist, Chan Fun Shin and Content Creator &amp; Social Activist Arwind Kumar.
Many of the speakers agreed that vast information is available to the digital natives today and with it, it gives youths a more accessible and accurate portrayal around the topic of sex, intimacy and safety. 
When asked upon how can we approach in communicating adult sex education and protection steps in a country with a strong religious belief, both Siti Aishah and Tengku Aira had both given a great perspective towards this.

As the topic can be sensitive due to Malaysia being a country with leaders and a majority population with Muslims, the topic can be brought up by engaging stakeholders with a holistic approach. As mentioned by Tengku Aira, UNFPA has a standard guideline which is also supported by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) and ensure that the topic doesn&rsquo;t go beyond their boundaries. &nbsp;
Siti Aishah also shared her experience approaching a very religious school where the principal is an Ustaz. Initially she talked about the topic to him not knowing what his reaction would be and to her surprise, the Ustaz responded and immediately asked on when they can start.
This brings it all down towards addressing the negative consequences of the topic as well as engaging the youth or even adults in a more human relations matter where everyone works together to communicate and address concerns properly.
