New Bill

Wee Ka Siong

Last time, our Transport Minister publicly announced the proposal of <a href="https://myc.my/articles/1540/government-to-lower-the-age-limit-for-vocational-license-to-18-causes-rage">lowering the age limit for vocational license to 18</a>, and deemed that it is to encourage young people into the gig economy.
Consequently, a lot of people have questioned the practicality of the bill itself. In their eyes, the bill was full of flaws and will ultimately chase away the youngsters; which is the contrary of the initial aim of the bill claimed by the government.
2 days after the bill introduction, Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong made a press conference to correct his previous statements.
<img src="https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/G1pL5u3TxoHaiZ7.0Y5ZHA--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTQyNg--/https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/925QK.2_vC30aKcSr6yC6w--~B/aD02NjY7dz0xMDAwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://media.zenfs.com/en/mmail.com.my/5cd8611a697b0afdf2cfb0bafaf80b76" alt="Malaysia's cabotage issue: Three questions for Wee Ka Siong" />
He clarifies that delivery riders will NOT be needing the GDL to operate nor do they have to undergone the Puspakom inspection:
&ldquo;Yesterday, I watched a few videos that alleged we are forcing all p-hailing riders to take the GDL test, and some are also saying they will need a Puspakom inspection [for their vehicles]. I feel that that&rsquo;s not right.
He said, &rdquo;the amendments we are making to Act 333 of the Road Transport Act are only meant to regulate the p-hailing industry and [determine] how we are going to register those who are involved in this industry as p-hailing riders.&rdquo;
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660286216/unsigned/aje1kntmyiqzuvdhqwxp.gif" width="297" height="261" />
Relatively, a new type of vocational license is what they initially aimed to launch for the delivery riders.
&ldquo;I promise you this is absolutely not the same as a GDL, which is meant for four-wheeled vehicles and requires drivers to take a special course and undergo a stringent process to obtain it. That is not the case,&rdquo; Wee insisted.
The Ministry wants to officially register the delivery riders with this new system. For now, since the license is in the early stage, it will function as a form of recognition of the delivery riders.
As for the price, it will cost &ldquo;only a few ringgit, not even RM10&rdquo;, &ldquo;subject to discussion with all stakeholders,&rdquo; said the Transport Minister.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660286360/unsigned/x1v1jx7xgqbsxniyhm9k.gif" />
Additionally, Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong promised to provide a one-year moratorium to encourage the riders to request the license themselves.
Moratorium: a legally authorized period of delay in the performance of the payment.
Hmm&hellip; maybe it&rsquo;s not a bad proposal&hellip;
But still, the license requires riders to attend an introductory course.
<img src="https://wheelstrainingcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/motorcycle-course.jpg" alt="Driving &amp; Motorcycle School Calgary | Wheels Training Centre" />
Instead of sitting for a full test, the riders will need to attend an approximate of 3 hours course to obtain the license.
This is done based on the concern of the report by Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) shared by the Transport Minister:
&ldquo;62% of delivery riders stopped in yellow boxes and pedestrian walkways. Another 14% used handphones while riding, while 7% of them ran red lights and made illegal U-turn; 3% of them rode against traffic flow.&rdquo;
For your information, this study was done using the &ldquo;Integrated Transport Information System (ITIS) to monitor the riding behavior of 16,038 riders on 11 roads in Kuala Lumpur.&rdquo;
All in all, &ldquo;we&rsquo;re creating this license to tell these riders nicely: do your jobs carefully,&rdquo; said Wee Ka Siong.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660286774/unsigned/liduewbdawx5icxlqz02.gif" />
Well, all cleared now. It is definitely better from the news we heard earlier this week. Plus, it is done for a better cause. Do you agree? Do share your thoughts and let us know in the comments.

Correction: P-Hailing Riders CAN Operate Without GDL

To many out there (especially men), you can&rsquo;t deny that you&rsquo;re a sports fan. If there&rsquo;s one sport that many love out there, it&rsquo;s football.
Unlike most sports, you won&rsquo;t see a venue packed full of people just cheering for two teams at the top of their lungs. Yeah, we can&rsquo;t do that for sports like Golf and Tennis. 
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664785955/unsigned/bf5plgstekwgzkujllg3.jpg" /> In golf, despite spectators getting close to the action, marshals will always be carrying these &ldquo;quiet please&rdquo; signs as a crowd control to ensure players have full concentration to hit.

Football Match Gone Wrong
Recently, a disastrous stampede had happened in Malang in East Java, Indonesia after football team Arema FC lost to Persebaya Surabaya with a score of 2-3. Supporters of Arema FC had went on to invade the pitch to express their frustration with the match.

As the fans invaded the pitch, the East Java Police Officers had attempted to control the &ldquo;riots&rdquo; around the stadium by firing tear gas. This had caused a chain reaction of fans to panic and rushing to find an exit gate. In the midst of all the chaos, some fans had suffocated in the cloud of smoke while others had been trampled to death. Within the stadium alone, it was reported that at least 34 people, including two police officers had died at the stadium.
Here are some gifs of the timeline of events that happened in the stadium:
1)Fans running onto the pitch. <img src="https://static.mothership.sg/1/2022/10/ezgif.com-gif-maker-1.gif" />
2) Police with riot gear seen chasing, kicking and pushing the supporters.&nbsp; <img src="https://static.mothership.sg/1/2022/10/ezgif.com-gif-maker-2.gif" />
3) Fans seen on top of fences to avoid the tear gas. <img src="https://static.mothership.sg/1/2022/10/ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif" />
&nbsp;
According to East Java Vice Governor Emil Dardak, the death toll had been revised down to 125 people due to some names being recorded down twice in comparison to the original figure of 174 (on the day itself). Among those who lost their lives in the stampede, one of the victims was only 5-years-old.

&nbsp;
Aside from the stampede and riot in the stadium, riots also broke out outside the stadium with crowds attacking police officers and damaging vehicles.

Aside from the tear gas fired at the spectators, Mahfud MD who&rsquo;s the country&rsquo;s minister of political, legal and security affairs released a statement on his Instagram that the stadium had been filled beyond its capacity. Instead of the supposed 38,000 tickets being issued, a total of 42,000 (an extra of 4,000) was issued instead. 
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664786245/unsigned/yobyuiauft21erg9v2ek.jpg" />
&nbsp;
It was also advised that due the overcrowding of the stadium, authorities had advised for the game to be held in the afternoon in where the organizer had ignored it. Due to the two teams being long time rivals, the supporters of Persebaya Surabaya were not allowed to purchase tickets for the game, therefore ruling out the class and riot of the supports was not between one another but with the fans of Arema FC alone.
Football League Suspended
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664786261/unsigned/xfl99anjsq6dqknxkkzi.jpg" />
&nbsp;
In a televised statement, President Joko Widodo had ordered an investigation into the tragedy as well as a safety review into all football matches. As of now, the country&rsquo;s football association has been ordered to suspend all matches from Indonesia&rsquo;s top leagues, BRI Liga 1, until the &ldquo;security improvements&rdquo; are completed.
&ldquo;I deeply regret this tragedy and I hope this football tragedy will be the last in our country,&rdquo; Widodo said.
The victims&rsquo; families from this incident will be compensated and will receive 15 million rupiah (~RM4,557.73) along with the hospital cost of victims being fully covered for.

&nbsp;
FIFA President Gianni Infantino had issued a statement as he is left in a state of shock.
&ldquo;This is a dark day for all involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension. I extend my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims who lost their lives following this tragic incident. Together with FIFA and the global football community, all out thoughts and prayers are with the victims, those who have bene injured, together with the people of the Republic of Indonesia, the Asian Football Confederation, the Indonesian Football Association and the Indonesian Football League, at this difficult time,&rdquo; he said.
FIFA had also specified in a safety regulation that the usage of firearms or &ldquo;crowd control gas&rdquo; should not be carried out or used by stewards or police. At the time of writing, East Java Police had not respond to the request for comments if they had been informed of such regulations.
To date, this has been one of the worse sporting incidents in both Indonesia and Football history in terms of fan violence and death of fans.
Hopefully there won&rsquo;t be more incidents like this in the future for Indonesia and any other sports. Condolences to all the victims and families involved.

Indonesia Football Tragedy Dubbed One Of The Worse Sporting Incidents In History

Many of us often go to malls or even theme parks and if there&rsquo;s one attraction many of us would always try, it&rsquo;s a claw machine.
<img src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/gyjjokeFwT9FMwF5Dl/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611989d6c3893b22e0b07ec6bb22249809ee71e951f&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Arcade Games December GIF" />
&nbsp;
The fun thing about claw machines is that you can instantly take home a prize if you manage to score it. But on a downside of things, claw machines are sometimes dubbed as &lsquo;rigged&rsquo; as it can be pretty difficult to get the prize within due to the claw not gripping onto the prize hard enough or sometimes even long enough.
In fact, some machines are set by the arcade operator as they have the ability to adjust the strength of the grip as well. So, you&rsquo;re telling me, most arcade owners rig the machines too? I thought it was just the nature of the machine&hellip;
<img src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/P7JmDW7IkB7TW/giphy.gif?cid=790b76110348d7f02013bef7a81960c80c350e6e868af9e1&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Fire Elmo GIF" /> People who can never win prizes be like
&nbsp;
Claw Machines Declared As Haram
Unfortunately for Indonesians, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) had declared claw machines as haram in Islam.
<img src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/2eKoCbOAsvJUkITcqw/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611ee146ee48420bbb75a5786be8e75990a9a8135c2&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Snl Season 44 GIF by Saturday Night Live" />
&nbsp;
Asrorun Ni&rsquo;am Sholeh who is the MUI&rsquo;s Head of Fatwa says that claw machines are a form of gambling and that it violates the Islamic teachings due to the machine encouraging people to try their luck to win a prize.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s different when we make purchases directly with the seller to get the items we want. Instead, we have to exchange tokens according to the set value and may have to try several times to get the item, then there is an element of gambling that makes it illegal,&rdquo; he said.
Not The First Time This Topic Was Brought Up
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664765813/unsigned/przlnllwgsscammbg9rk.webp" />
&nbsp;
Back in June 7, the Perlis State Mufti Department had issued a fatwa concerning claw machines as it was linked to gambling and a form of fraud to children. They had encouraged Muslims in the state to stay away from them as it was considered a &ldquo;great sin&rdquo; and also urged Muslims not to operate these &ldquo;gambling machines&rdquo;.
A Secret To Winning?
Since claw machines are popular, there are those who also share &ldquo;life hacks&rdquo; on how to win on the machine. Do note though, this may not always work on all machines out there.

Apparently if a player were to move the joystick up twice, down twice, left, right, left, right, left and hold down the button for a few seconds before entering the token, it would prompt a machine to grab onto the item properly. After inserting the coins, we&rsquo;ll need to hold down the button till the prize we want hovers over the exit area to win it.
Maybe we should we try this life hack to see if it works?

Indonesia Categorises Claw Machines As “Haram”

For those driving around the Klang Valley every day, we all know there are a few things we can&rsquo;t avoid. Those things are traffic jams, dumb drivers, potholes, and tolls.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664506250/unsigned/jyk7ta4iwa3djdqoxews.png" />
&nbsp;
But if there&rsquo;s one thing that triggers most drivers aside from those who speed or drive too slowly, it&rsquo;s those who tailgates. Aside from tailgating on the road, there are those who tend to tailgate behind you to pass toll booths so they can avoid paying the toll fees.
If you think that toll operators are not doing anything about it, oh how you&rsquo;re very wrong. Highway operator Prolintas is now actively clamping down the toll evaders along the Ampang &ndash; Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH).
Recently, the Prolintas had caught one of the motorists in the act who&rsquo;s apparently been frequently tailgating pass toll booths. Rather than keeping quiet about it, the team had decided to share the news on their official Prolintas AKLEH Twitter page as a warning to all toll evaders.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Salah sebuah kenderaan yang ditahan ialah Proton X50 dengan tunggakan bayaran tol sebanyak RM57.50 dan amaun kerugian telah dikembalikan pada masa &amp; lokasi sama. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/kantoi?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#kantoi</a> <a href="https://t.co/SvtW3GSsja">pic.twitter.com/SvtW3GSsja</a>
&mdash; PROLINTAS AKLEH (@AKLEHtrafik) <a href="https://twitter.com/AKLEHtrafik/status/1574956972952023040?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 28, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The motorist driving a red Proton X50 was caught at the Dato Keramat toll plaza at 10:07pm on Tuesday. The said motorist has been avoiding tolls for quite a while now and had a total of RM57.50 in toll arrears.
<img src="https://c.tenor.com/YFuQoMQ0tRsAAAAM/dean-supernatural.gif" />
&nbsp;
On a good note, the driver had paid the full amount on the spot after being asked to pay. Prolintas says that they will continue on to watch for toll invaders and will be apprehending those irresponsible drivers. Things could have been worse for the man as he wasn&rsquo;t issued a fine.
For those caught tailgating to evade toll payments, there are a set of laws behind and drivers could be charged under Sections 42 and 43 of the Road Traffic Act 1987 which punishes those driving in a reckless, dangerous, careless or even in an inconsiderate manner. If guilty, it could land you in jail for up to five years and/or a fine up to RM15,000.
Aside from that, you could also be guilty under Section 279 of the Penal Code where drivers will be punished for rash driving that is harmful to other motorist. If guilty, one can face up to six months of jailtime and/or a fine of up to RM2,000. Meanwhile, evading tolls alone means that you can end up in court and be charged under Section 8 of the Federal Roads (Private Management) Act 1984 which can lead to a fine of up to RM5,000.
Yikes, I don&rsquo;t think any of us would want end up in court and potentially serve jailtime and paying a hefty fine. Imagine if you were caught in the action and ended up on Twitter, now that&rsquo;s pretty embarrassing.
Do you think that Prolintas AKLEH should continue on to publicly call out these individuals? Let us know your thoughts!

A group of enforcers from the Health Ministry raided a hair salon in Setapak yesterday to probe their illegal dental services after being informed by The Star.&nbsp;
&ldquo;We received a complaint ... that the premises has been providing illegal dental treatments, hence we conducted our investigation before the raid." said Health Ministry dental officer Dr Taufil Firdaus.
According to Dr Taufil Firdaus who led the tram to raid the salon, the beautician who offered dental services and lessons was not registered with the Malaysian Dental Council.
The salon operated by her was not registered as well, which was problematic in terms of cleanliness as it was inhabited by cockroaches.
They found various dental apparatuses including dental fillings and nickel- titanium wire normally used for braces.&nbsp;
Another discovery was a desktop storing certificates, which were believed to have had been distributed to people applying for the illegitimate dental courses such as veneer, whitening drip and platelet-rich plasma injections.
&ldquo;We found dental materials that can be used as evidence. The case will be charged under Section 4(1) of the Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act,&rdquo; said Dr Taufik after the raid.

<h2>Section 4(1) Of The Private Healthcare Facilities And Services Act</h2>
This Section of the Act points out that no one can operate a private medical clinic and dental clinic or provide such services without registration.

<h2>Illegal Dental Courses Offered To Students&nbsp;</h2>
Back in July, The Star reported about the same location that had been conducting illegal courses and offering certificates of no value to its students as a reward for their studies.
The time period of each course was only a few hours, pricing between RM 1,500 to RM 3,000, with the inclusion of tips to help the students to start their own mobile dental services.
The Star&rsquo;s journalist who did a cover-up by attending the dental courses was provided a polishing gadget, veneer composite, LED light, bonding agent, etchant gel, mouth retractor and other instruments. Some of them should be only used by medical practitioners who have undergone professional practices.

<h2>Why Did The Beautician Choose To Provide Illegal Dental Services?</h2>
Admitting that her behaviour of operating an illegal dental clinic was troublesome, she added that she had intended to seek other sources of income: &ldquo;I know it is wrong, but many are doing it, so what&rsquo;s the issue if I want to look for pocket money?&rdquo;&nbsp;
She revealed that she had learnt her skills from an Indonesian woman who had provided a one-day course.
&ldquo;Locals are not that skillful, so I went to her class in Danau Murni, Taman Desa in Kuala Lumpur. It cost me about RM3,600 for a day course.
&ldquo;After that, I set up my own business because there were a lot of requests. Also, many are doing it (providing veneer services) so I tried it myself just so that I could earn money as a single mother.
After the students attended her course, she would be handing out certificates to them.
&ldquo;The certificates are for those who wish to learn ... I will assess them when they learn and see if they can do it,&rdquo; she said.

<h2>Fake Dental Clinics and Illegal Dental Services In Malaysia</h2>
Such a case is not the first one in Malaysia.&nbsp;
In fact, these few years have seen the surge of fake dentists who are not approved by the government but provide cheap and fast dental services. Those services would end up harming the gums of the clients and their health in general.

Beware Of Illegal Dental Services Provided By Salons!

Malaysia is really looking like we&rsquo;re moving towards resuming the normal life again. When I say normal life, I mean by not wearing face masks when we are outside or even in an indoor space.
Back on 7 September, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin announced that Malaysians will no longer be required to mask up when outdoors or inside an indoor venue. However, it was still recommended for the public to mask up when in crowded places as a precaution.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664420916/unsigned/fotoawuiowkbu0uz0aza.jpg" />
&nbsp;
This time around, Malaysians are now greeted with more news and face masks will no longer be mandatory in aeroplanes. The announcement was done by the Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) at 5:09PM on 28 September.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Kenyataan Media Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia Semakan Keperluan Pemakaian Pelitup Muka Di Dalam Kapal Terbang <a href="https://t.co/SyGTctztzo">pic.twitter.com/SyGTctztzo</a>
&mdash; KKMalaysia🇲🇾😷 (@KKMPutrajaya) <a href="https://twitter.com/KKMPutrajaya/status/1575050051377717250?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 28, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Although masking up in a plane is no longer required, Khairy and the health ministry still encourages citizens to keep their mask on when travelling. If you fall under the category of the following people, it is highly encouraged that you keep your mask on:
<ul>
<li>Individuals with symptoms such as fever, cough and cold</li>
<li>Individuals at high risk such as the elderly, people with chronic diseases, individuals with low immunity and if you&rsquo;re a pregnant woman</li>
<li>Individuals who travel with the elderly and children </li>
</ul>
Why are we allowed to mask-off in planes now?
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664421077/unsigned/diucfpoof2d00zrq812l.webp" />
&nbsp;
The main reason why the health ministry has decided to drop masks in plans is due to the advancements in technology in planes now and that Malaysia&rsquo;s Covid-19 cases are under control.
Ever since the pandemic happened, the airline industry has scrambled to improve certain features in the plane such as better airflow in the cabin, the usage of a high-efficiency particulate absorbing (HEPA) filters as well as more frequent disinfection of planes before flights.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1664421090/unsigned/z5etktlpe4p3yh3lrs6r.png" />
&nbsp;
&ldquo;This relaxation is also in line with health recommendations from the European Union, UK, US, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore,&rdquo; said Khairy.
One thing to keep in mind is that when you&rsquo;re travelling, the usage of masks while in the plane will be subjected to the rules set by other countries, so we best check on the policies and laws set by the country when we travel.
What are the thoughts on netizens about the ruling?
After scrolling around social media, many netizens are fairly pleased that Malaysia is taking a step forward towards returning to normality. However, there are some who still don&rsquo;t understand why these decisions were made.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Apa beza dgn pengangkutan awam yg lain ?
&mdash; aRe-SaL (@rexs876) <a href="https://twitter.com/rexs876/status/1575052954641367041?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 28, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

For the information of many, HEPA filters are in fact filters that are used in surgical theaters where particles &gt;/=0.3 are removed from the air to prevent surgical site infections.
Despite Malaysia announcing the no mask requirement rules, many have observed that Malaysians or in fact Asians in general are likely to remain wearing their mask when they are out especially if you&rsquo;re one who has not gotten Covid-19.
What are your thoughts on this? Should we continue on to wear our mask when we are out? Let us know in the comments!

We now have the option to mask off in the plane, but for those who do continue to put it on, thanks for masking.
