<p>It seems like our government hospitals have got themselves a spotlight on social media. Though our government hospitals are in fact pretty good and well equipped such as our Sungai Buloh Hospital but it seems like that isn&rsquo;t the issue today.</p>
<p>Some of us may remember Hartal Doktor Kontrak which was the movement of contract doctors demanding better positions within the government.</p>
<p><strong>Read:</strong> <a href="https://myc.my/admin/youth-issues/KKM%20To%20Offer%20More%20Jobs%20A%20Year%20After%20#HartalDoktorKontrak Protest">KKM To Offer More Jobs A Year After #HartalDoktorKontrak Protest</a></p>
<p>The Sugai Buloh Hospital is facing fierce criticism online after a social media post showed that the hospital is banning online food deliveries to the hospital.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="in">KKM logic, ban food delivery like <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Grab?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Grab</a> &amp; <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Foodpanda?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Foodpanda</a> for staff and patients. Might as well ban eating so that there will be no waste produced. <br /><br />Yg buat keputusan dah lupa kot rasa tengah oncall &amp; rasa lapar, sebab tu buat keputusan mcm ni. <a href="https://t.co/rPCICu6p2e">pic.twitter.com/rPCICu6p2e</a></p>

</p>
<p>The post was brought up by a junior doctor rights movement Hartal Doktor Kontrak who shared it on Twitter.</p>
<p>Looking at the post, the ban of deliveries was enforced due to the wastage of food which had allegedly &ldquo;compromised the cleanliness of the hospital wards.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Not only that but the hospital also claims that there had been an increasing number of complains about food wastage. To top it off, as it&rsquo;s considered as take out food, this had caused more litter around the hospital which had caused a pest issue in the premises.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://c.tenor.com/ODXp2dVNDfYAAAAC/yikes-jim-halpert.gif" alt="Yikes Jim Halpert GIF - Yikes Jim Halpert Yuck - Discover &amp; Share GIFs" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>For those who have friends or relatives working in hospitals or any of us who ever required to stay at the hospital for long hours know that there&rsquo;s always an issue with hospital food. According to the circular, the hospital cafeteria was reminded to improve its services and food preparation in order to meet the demands of staff and the public.</p>
<p>In fact, one doctor had once mentioned that certain government hospital cafeterias always lacked fresh food and always lacked man power to keep the food served throughout the day. Hence why most people including doctors always opt for purchasing food via Grab or Foodpanda.</p>
<p><strong>Hospital called out for being insensitive</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660204811/unsigned/yrachwamx6b6iqkrkkjh.jpg" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the voices of many of our younger doctors being circulated by Hartal Doktor Kontrak, they also pointed out that the hospital was being insensitive towards staff who work the late hour shifts and patients who can be hungry at odd hours.</p>
<p>Netizens even voiced out their opinions:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
<p dir="ltr" lang="in">* Owner cafe kawan baik pengarah.<br />* Makanan tak sedap / sentiasa habis.<br />* Staff / Pesakit order Grab/Panda.<br />* Owner cafe sedih.<br />* Owner cafe tak puas hati report pengarah.<br />* Pengarah keluarkan notis.<br />* Owner cafe kembali tersenyum. <br /><br />Sekadar teori...</p>

Hospital Bans Food Delivery On Its Premises, Receives Backlash From Everyone

<p>We all know and understand that inflation has really affected many Malaysians over the past few years and we can clearly see it when it comes to purchasing food.</p>
<p>On average, the majority of restaurants or even mamak stalls charge a fair amount for a meal. These days, an average meal can cost over RM15 and if you were to include a nice or &ldquo;fancy&rdquo; drink, it can range between RM4 to RM20 for a drink alone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://media.tenor.com/FQHKew3K9jcAAAAM/no-money-wallet.gif" /></p>
<p><strong>Introducing RM5 Meals</strong></p>
<p>Despite the inflation issue, it looks like many Malaysians, especially those who are categorised under the B40 category can now have a sigh of relief thanks to the RM5 Menu Rahmah initiative that began implementation at 15,000 food outlets across the country.</p>
<p>The initiative was launched as a way to overcome the increasing cost of living in Malaysia. The RM5 &ldquo;Menu Rahmah&rdquo; will be serving lunch and dinner meals at a price of RM5 only. Each meal will include rice, a protein of our choice (chicken or fish), vegetables and rice. Meals like Nasi Paprik and Chicken Rice are also available and a bottle of mineral water will be provided.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/ca6be3b95a5ebdaf3164aa76da68e7fde6d8d7ccda72627ba7ae6eabdcfaecf3" /></p>
<p>The food choices don&rsquo;t only cover meals with rice as there are a variety of choices such as kebabs, shawarma's or even rojak and it will all depend on where you choose to dine in. To find a restaurant that provides this, a Menu Rahman sticker will be posted outside outlets to indicate that the Menu Rahmah is now available.</p>
<p>During the launch of the initiative, Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub said that he hopes that the B40 group will be able to purchase food and no longer go hungry.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think others who aren&rsquo;t from hardcore or poor households will take advantage of the Rahmah Menu served. However, they are free to do so if their money runs out by the middle of the month,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;A good thing to note about the initiative is that the food portions were not compromised as they believed in helping the people.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://media.tenor.com/yQ_XPWFWwBcAAAAM/spiderman-defoe.gif" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Mydin Offers Food From RM4.90<br /></strong></p>

<p>Meanwhile at Mydin, during the launch of the Menu Rahman, the supermarket had labelled their food to cost only RM4.90. The menu rotates daily offering different types of dishes every day.</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>2023 is looking good so far! Hopefully, initiatives like this keep up and with the leadership of our new Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, perhaps he can help shed light and solve or even reduce the inflation issue in the country.</em></span></p>

A Sigh Of Relief For B40 M’sians As 15,000 Eateries To Offer RM5 Menu Rahmah Meals 

<p>For many of us in Malaysia, Petaling Street is known as a very popular landmark in town. It&rsquo;s not only a marketplace but also known as the local Chinatown and is bustling with activities throughout the day and night.</p>
<p>Despite how much culture or heritage the name has as a tourist hotspot in Malaysia, Petaling Street is also known for its growing reputation for selling counterfeit items.</p>
<p><strong>United States Govt Names Petaling Street As A Notorious Counterfeit Goods Market</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/ad7e2a22422d2f7dc10196c5cde9c5adc441962b5d895d465cf11eb58264be3b" /></strong></p>
<p>Recently, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) published the findings of its <a href="https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/2023-01/2022%20Notorious%20Markets%20List%20(final).pdf">2022 Review of Notorious Markets For Counterfeiting and Piracy (the Notorious Market List)</a>.</p>
<p>It listed 39 online markets, including AliExpress, Shopee and Tabao which are commonly used among Malaysians and many others worldwide. They also listed a total of 33 physical markets consisting of 18 countries which included the likes of China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines.</p>
<p>USTR shared that the markets listed had reportedly engaged in or facilitated substantial trademark counterfeiting or copyright piracy. These markets are well known for selling large volumes of counterfeited items ranging from handbags, wallets, watches, shoes, sunglasses and consumer goods.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Although market activity has not returned to pre-pandemic levels because foreign tourism remains depressed, the majority of goods that are currently available appear to be counterfeit,&rdquo; wrote the report.</p>
<p><strong>Blames Local Authorities Over Slow Response</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/5f04f3743a993942d780ae36cde6514412427a0ae0f8991269af1e99e8235331" /></strong></p>
<p>Aside from listing Petaling Street on their list of Notorious Market Lists, USTR had slammed the local authorities over the lack of enforcement activity without the right holders&rsquo; initiative. They state that even when right holders attempt to initiate enforcement activities, they are difficulties due to local favouritism due to the involvement of organized crime in the market.</p>
<p>Despite what the USTR report claims about local authorities, Malaysia has taken a step towards this issue. Between 2019 and 2022, the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) made 1,160 seizures of counterfeit goods which are estimated to be worth RM94.7 million.</p>
<p>The seizure was done across the country with the help of 14,187 inspectors to stamp out the production of fake goods under the Trade Description (Amendment) Act 2019 following complaints from trademark owners.</p>
<p>Those guilty under the Trade Descriptions Act 2019 will face a fine of up to RM15,000 for each fake item on the first charge and RM30,000 for each item on the second charge and so on.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><img src="https://r2.myc.my/ee31a3721cc1f24177bb232d81c04ea88f9f8445cf6de9dfa72087b92d8241aa" alt="Datuk Ang Say Tee at Petaling Street" width="316" height="422" /><br />Datuk Ang Say Tee at Petaling Street</em></p>
<p>Datuk Ang Say Tee of the Kuala Lumpur Hawkers and Petty Traders Association also commented on the report stating that it was untrue.</p>
<p>&ldquo;This is an exaggeration and we doubt the relevant authorities have actually conducted research on Petaling Street. Only 10-20% of the hawker stalls on the street are selling counterfeit goods,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p>The USTR report has been published annually since 2011 and its purpose is to increase awareness and help governments and market operators to prioritize intellectual property enforcement efforts that protect American businesses and their workers.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>Despite what the reports claim, our own local authorities in Malaysia do try their level best to combat the issue of counterfeited items. Hopefully one day with their hard work, we can eliminate this issue.</em></span></p>

US Govt Dubs Petaling Street As Notorious Counterfeit Goods Market

<p>Back on 29 October 2022, an incident happened in a local neighbourhood where a man with a stick had badly beaten a stray puppy named Cera. The news of the attack was shared by My Forever Doggo on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/myforeverdoggo/">Instagram</a> which stated that Cera had suffered broken bones in her right front and hind legs as a result of the violence.</p>

</p>
<p>Passersby that were around at the time did not dare to stop the man as he had also threatened to hit those who tried to help the dog. But after an alert had been put out about Cera&rsquo;s case, animal rescuer Shima had taken action and rushed Cera to the vet to seek treatment.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/850cb7aceffcd13c82d9f0d143776b88d2e54b1799bdbe2e2f7808b2232ff3d8" /></p>
<p>The brutal attack had left Cera with both her front right hind legs broken and doctors prescribed her a round of painkillers to cope with the pain and attempted to stabilize her condition. Fortunately, Cera was a strong pup despite having lost her mum prior to the incident and had successfully gone through the surgery.</p>
<p><strong>Attacker Summoned To Court</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/643de3b88c9b28489d8430763477a9e0ab67dfbccbfc14c8550b1b02704a2376" /></strong></p>
<p>Fast forwarding to the present day, Cera is now on her road to recovery and is doing well. My Forever Doggo stated that a police report had been lodged by Shima and other eyewitnesses against the attacker in hope of bringing justice for Cera. A court hearing happened yesterday (31 January 2023) at 9AM at the Kuala Selangor Sessions Court.</p>
<p>According to Shima and the eyewitnesses, they had been threatened by the man.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Before that, there were people who came and tried to like, help. And he was like, &lsquo;If you save her, I will hit you too, I will hurt you too,&rsquo;. So, nobody dared to do anything.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Currently, we don&rsquo;t know the outcome of the court hearing but the suspect is expected to face charges under Section 29(1) of the Animal Welfare Act 2015. Additionally, the Department of Veterinary Services Malaysia (DVS) is pushing for the maximum possible sentence towards the suspect which will see a fine between RM20,000 to RM100,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 3 years.</p>
<p><strong>Netizen's Comments On The Incident</strong></p>
<p>As the update post of Cera went up, many netizens had left much love for Cera and the efforts of Shima for rescuing her.</p>
<p>Many other netizens had also called for the perpetrator to be punished and hoped that justice will be served against animal abusers in the country.</p>

#JusticeForCera: Animal Abuser Who Broke Puppy’s Legs To Face Criminal Charges

<p>We all know that our Malaysian politicians are no strangers to being called upon to the court over the issues they have caused.</p>
<p>The most notable one would be former Prime Minister Najib Razak who was sentenced to prison for misappropriating funds from SRC International Sdn Bhd.</p>
<p><strong>Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/1604/times-up-for-jibby">Time&rsquo;s Up For Jibby</a></strong></p>
<p>This time around, another two of our former prime ministers have now made the headlines but it isn&rsquo;t for what most would expect.</p>
<p>Mohd Hatta Sanuri (47) had filed a lawsuit against Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for abandoning the high-speed-rail (HSR) project that would have connected Singapore and Malaysia.</p>
<p>Back in 2021, the plaintiff sued the federal government after they withdrew their review application of the International Court of Justice over the decision on Pulau Batu Puteh that had been awarded to Singapore.</p>
<p><strong>Accused of Malfeasance</strong></p>
<p><strong><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/71a15f4317f3cb2d1864253725a52e8eea81933c1f282e51e345bba2d10801f8" /></strong></p>
<p>Mohd Hatta had argued that the former prime ministers had committed malfeasance as the HSR had postponed and subsequently cancelled the project.</p>
<p>On 5 September 2018, the HSR project was ordered to be suspended by Mahathir and the government at the time needed to pay RM46 million in compensation to Singapore. Meanwhile, during Muhyiddin&rsquo;s term as prime minister, he completely terminated the project on 31 December 2020 after the two countries had failed to reach an agreement on changes proposed by the latter. By then, Singapore had already spent S$270 million (~RM820 million at the time) and Malaysia was later required to pay S$102 million (~RM 348 million at the time) as compensation.</p>
<p>During Ismail Sabri&rsquo;s administration in 2021, Sabri himself visited Singapore and proposed to rediscuss the HSR project. Although the agreement had been terminated, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said he was open to restarting the discussion. &nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Requests RM 1 Million Compensation For Each Malaysian</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/e9ab162f89c162ff29ef355154af2250b8dae7ba625be9102e83445d621f7d72" /></strong></p>
<p>In Mohd Hatta&rsquo;s lawsuit, he mentions that former ministers Mustapa Mohamed (Minister in the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Department (Economy)) and Wee Ka Siong (Ministry of Transport) were names mentioned as the other defendants.</p>
<p>Mohd Hatta claimed that the termination of the project had resulted in the loss of confidence in foreign investors in the country and a loss of 70,000 high-paying jobs which missed the opportunity to gain RM70 billion in profit from its construction and operation.</p>
<p>With the loss that the country had suffered due to the leadership of both Mahathir and Muhyiddin, the plaintiff had asked all the defendants to pay RM1 million to every single Malaysian citizen over the negligent handling of the HSR project.</p>
<p><strong>About The HSR</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/cd25a203f9ef532086fbca616cbaadcd80ee7c7a3b3afacf317acb214d4c973e" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>The HSR was supposed to be a railway project that linked Malaysia and Singapore together with a total of 8 stations and a train that could operate at speeds of 320km/h.</p>
<p>Originally, it was scheduled to start construction in 2018 and it was expected to start operation at the end of 2026. If the project were to go on, the HSR line would have been a total of 350KM long and travel time between the two countries would have been reduced to only 90 minutes.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>Despite making valid points, especially on the loss of confidence in foreign investors, we highly doubt that the court would pass such a lawsuit. </em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>On the other hand, if the HSR did happen, many Malaysians would love its service as it will make it easier to travel between the two countries.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.</em></span></p>

M’sian Man Sues Mahathir & Muhyiddin For Axing The High-Speed Rail Project

<p>Malaysians can agree that concerts are one of the best things that have come back since the pandemic. Many of us have finally got the chance to see both local and international artists perform on stage and enjoyed every moment of it! Or well, at least some did&hellip;</p>
<p><strong>Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/1590/billie-eilish-concert-expectations-vs-sad-reality">Billie Eilish Concert: Expectations VS Sad Reality</a></strong></p>
<p>Last Saturday (28 Jan), AR Rahman&rsquo;s &lsquo;Secret of Success: Live in Malaysia 2023&rsquo; concert was held at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium. There were about 60,000 attendees which included Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as well as the Communications and Digital Minister, Fahmi Fadzil and his wife.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/8ea0977b1c5fe9670784dc53247d241e9fea84364d349082c68f0ce1aca4d7b0" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The concert had managed to attract a multi-racial crowd to the concert on that night and it even featured Datuk Siti Nurhaliza who sang a Tamil song too!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8vtAaVZWX04" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>For those who don&rsquo;t know who AR Rahman is, he is a well-known Indian music composer who&rsquo;s won 6 National Film Awards, 15 Filmfare Awards and 17 Filmfare Awards South!</p>
<p><strong>Multiracial Crowd But Not All Were Pleased</strong></p>
<p>Despite the love that many die-hard Malaysian fans showing love for the concert, some were not too appreciative of it.</p>
<p>Instagram user Fatin Amyra Lee posted up an Instagram Story about her experience and it later caught the attention of many due to her using a racial slur that&rsquo;s offensive to Indians.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p>Her IG Story was shared by Twitter user @Kesvan49 and went viral with 4,180 Retweets and 7.8K likes on the app. Her video captioned &ldquo;These Kel**g songs are making me dizzy. (I) want Hindustani songs, please. Just waiting for Tokti (Siti Nurhaliza) now&hellip;&rdquo;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://media.tenor.com/tE7JbyC4RxQAAAAC/rude-winston.gif" /></p>
<p>Many criticized her for what she said and claims that she may have got to attend the concert for free, hence why she doesn&rsquo;t appreciate the concert.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">

<p>After receiving a lot of backlash from her post, she later issued a public apology and stated she did not intend to make any racist remarks and had not thought of her words carefully at the time.</p>

<p><strong>National Athlete Also Involved In The Mix</strong></p>
<p>Fatin Amyra Lee was not the only person who received backlash as 26-year-old national women&rsquo;s field hockey player Hanis Nadiah Onn had also commented about the concert.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/6c82da5b048c6644177f6faa4ad63f6f64cef3c3c4eeee2a20cf5469e30069b2" /></p>
<p>To make matters worse, she did not even attend the concert and her remark was just as racist to many. In the comments section of Kosmo Online&rsquo;s post, she said &ldquo;It must smell nice in there&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Not long later, she was called out by netizens online and was battered with heavy criticism for her ignorance. Many had even tagged the Youth and Sports Minister, Hannah Yeoh, to take action against her. Currently, the ministry had not released any statements regarding the issue.</p>
<p>After receiving heavy criticism online, Nadiah later issued out a public apology and stated that she was sorry for her negligence on the negative comment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/375677963c495b3bd64757127520a6fa73fd508ee13117e5fafe1cb57715369e" /></p>
<p>As of now, both Amyra and Nadiah had set their Instagram accounts to private as it seems that they want to stop receiving attacks from netizens.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>Regardless of the apology, what goes on the internet, stays on the internet. Racism should never be joked about or even tolerated in this day and age, especially with the cancel culture going on now. </em></span></p>
