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.

&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;

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”

It&rsquo;s the FIFA World Cup season and many football fans worldwide are looking forward for the upcoming games over the next week weeks.
But so far, Qatar 2022 has been pretty questionable as it&rsquo;s the most controversial World Cup in history as well as there are odd statistics of crowds being over the stadium capacity but with many seats still being left empty.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/1961/qatar-2022-dubbed-as-the-most-controversial-world-cup-in-history">Qatar 2022 Dubbed As The Most Controversial World Cup In History</a> Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/1964/qatar-2022-world-cup-continues-to-disappoint-with-thousands-of-empty-seats">Qatar 2022 World Cup Continues To Disappoint With Thousands Of Empty Seats</a>
But looking at how everything is going now, Chinese citizens are currently outraged due to the World Cup. Before you start, no its not due to big teams losing to smaller teams and not cause the stadiums are partially empty&hellip; But its due to how fans can freely watch the World Cup matches in an audience without needing to wear a mask.
For those who didn&rsquo;t know, while the rest of us around the world can now freely enjoy life as if the pandemic never happened and being mask free, those in China are currently putting their lives on hold and are living with perpetual lockdowns.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1624176cbf08b0c0b13191cacdd39a9bf01a736335d25250d41225cb849ebde2" />
&nbsp;
Fans during Qatar 2022 were spotted maskless and images across Chinese social media and many users have started to debate on the issue due to the outrage.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/496160eee613befdf294e719c0718e2eda444e0f23334305b1b42608bf21ae03" />

China&rsquo;s Issues With Covid-19
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c55bbc2b7df5df932e1210c1e55dc1fe8e9687bf21cad14911af621a059643e6" />
&nbsp;
Lately, China has been subjected to mini-lockdowns around many regions as the country is now practicing a pretty harsh zero-Covid strategy. Governments are locking down entire cities, neighbourhoods to even the smallest of venues such as malls if a Covid-19 case was detected.
The lockdowns that happen in the country have cause a lot of panic as many tend to find themselves in these locations with no prior warning and everyone there will need to undergo a Covid-19 test and must test negative before they are allowed to leave.
Sometimes the process of locking down an area can take within a few hours to even days as the government is very strict about their lockdowns. When these lockdowns happen, it causes major disruptions to people&rsquo;s daily schedules&hellip; Unless you&rsquo;re trapped in a restaurant then hey, free flow of food.

As of Wednesday, China has hit 29,157 daily cases of Covid-19 as the Omicron variant is spreading fast around the country. However, it&rsquo;s noted that this figure is still low compared to many other countries such as the United States which reported 110,298 cases on Wednesday (23 Nov).
Feels Like Another Planet
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d662d6cc485feabe8ae2412e4d7e9eb41dc7183c8c0860c48fb44d29382439b4" />
&nbsp;
Based off social media posts on Weibo, Chinese netizens have complained that the lockdown has cost them their &ldquo;lives&rdquo; and &ldquo;youth&rdquo;. Others even said that being locked into their campus or even homes feels torturing as they can&rsquo;t be as free as others around the world.
Netizens say that with the coverage of the World Cup, many have seen the real situation abroad and now worry about their own countries economy. An open letter what had circulated on WeChat even &ldquo;questioned&rdquo; if China was living on the same planet as Qatar and the rest of the world. It was also revealed that it was later taken down due to it sparking outrage in the country.
No Time For Celebration
Despite the coverage of the World Cup, many establishments had small crowds due to the lockdowns happening in the country. Many even described that the feeling of seeing people shouting around without masks and social distancing was &ldquo;strange&rdquo;.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/922d55ea7d62ba642668df3371b6367891f947956e7ad6b3ca04ae4c47d96d27" />
&nbsp;
China&rsquo;s President Xi Jinping had also reminded that the 2022 World Cup is no time for them to celebrate due to the Covid-19 situation in the country.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7a641e0ea9c39a851304bc695db30ed244e293d6dba602983ef0a1449bda9836" />
&nbsp;
Meanwhile, one social media user had took to Weibo to question why can&rsquo;t China&rsquo;s football team learn from their neighbours Japan who recently defeated Germany 2-1. &ldquo;We are neighbours and have the same type of physical build, but why can&rsquo;t we achieve what Japan can?&rdquo;.
When you think of it, we should be thankful we are not facing these kinds of lockdowns again but it doesn&rsquo;t mean that we shouldn&rsquo;t make an excuse to not take care of our health and mask up when possible.

Chinese Citizens Outraged Over Covid-19 Lockdowns As Others Go Maskless During The World Cup

It&rsquo;s finally official, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has officially been sworn in as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia!
<img src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/BPJmthQ3YRwD6QqcVD/giphy.gif?cid=790b76115d6e111a6cdd54330ac052612725b18fd0e0f00a&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Celebrate In Love GIF by HBO Max" />
&nbsp;
Aside from being named as the 10th prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim had also confirmed that the unity government is made up of Pakatan Harapan (PH), Barisan Nasional (BN) and Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS).
Another thing that Anwar highlighted is that he is not opposed to any other parties who would like to join the pact. He highlighted that PH and the unity government will upload the constitution and stressed to uphold Bahasa Malaysia as the national language and Islam as the Federal religion.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9c9ef9e486e1b15e69ca62af075ebb055c922fe3eb69d70cc61407371152e4f5" />
&nbsp;
Initially, GPS said they would support a unity government with Perikatan Nasional (PN), BN and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) but after a lot of issues between other MPs, GPS chief Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg had left the matter to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to make a decision on the matter.
Anwar who is now the MP of Tambun, Perak days that they will uphold the rights of citizens regardless of race, region and religion during the press conference at the Sungai Long Golf Club.
No Compromise With Corruption

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&ldquo;Under my rule, I will not compromise with corruption. This is out condition in unity government,&rdquo; he said.
One of the challenges posed was due to Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin who&rsquo;s the chief of PN as he informed Anwar that the 15th Parliament will convene on 19 December and the first motion will be a vote of confidence.
During the press conference, he said that his government would clear the emoluments before tabling a new and revised budget and pledged to decline his prime minister&rsquo;s salary which was promised during the election. He also vowed to tackle the endemic corruption too.
One of the main focuses of Anwar is now is to help revive Malaysia&rsquo;s economy. On a plus side of things, we&rsquo;ve seen some improvements over the last few days as our ringgit had strengthen as 1 USD is now RM4.47 instead of RM4.75 which was record earlier this month.

Anwar Ibrahim Announces Unity Government & Public Holiday This 28th November!

4 days after the 15th General Elections, the wait is finally over as we&rsquo;ll finally hear the announcement we&rsquo;ve been waiting for.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has finally been appointed as the 10th Prime Minister and will be sworn in by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah at 5:00pm later today.
Anwar is also the president for Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and a Member of Parliament for Tambun. He was selected following a meeting of the Council of Rulers today in a statement released by Istana Negara.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FIstanaNegaraOfficial%2Fposts%2Fpfbid021cz1rH27o5eV46wm9eEZcHjA54XgcTiUMBc9mZUCoqERuNSZfuhqVmPf2ru7c2a9l&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="645" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
Currently, Pakatan Harapan (PH) holds the largest number of seats in the parliament with 82 seats followed by Perikatan Nasional (PN) who has 73 seats. Due to this, the parliament was dubbed as a hung parliament due to nobody being able to achieve the total 112 seats required to form a government on their own.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d655734afa3ab93e329da37e51171d4e4635b3f5189551774c9b3de7d5d26e31" />
&nbsp;
It was noted by Royal Household Datuk Seri Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin that the Agong had reminded all quarters that &lsquo;the winners did not win and all the losers did not lose all&rsquo;. He also urged the Dewan Rakyat Members to reach out among one another and to strengthen the ties between one another for the future of the country.
What Caused The Delay In The Formation Of The Government?
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Alhamdulillah, Dewan Tertinggi Barisan Nasional (BN) telah membuat keputusan untuk tidak menyokong mana-mana gabungan untuk membentuk kerajaan. BN tidak menyokong Pakatan Harapan (PH) mahupun Perikatan Nasional (PN). Setakat ini BN bersetuju kekal sebagai pembangkang.
&mdash; Ismail Sabri (@IsmailSabri60) <a href="https://twitter.com/IsmailSabri60/status/1594933865042223104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 22, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If it wasn&rsquo;t for Barisan Nasional (BN) who won 30 seats during the Ge15, things would of gone more smoothly. BN initially announced that they would remain as the opposition and would not want to join forces with either PH or PN.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/1965/bn-to-not-collaborate-with-any-coalition-and-agong-to-decide-on-government-soon">BN To Not Collaborate With Any Coalition &amp; Agong To Decide On Government Soon</a>
But for now, the big question is which parties will be joining in PH to form the next government. PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli has also requested that all PKR and PH members and supporters to calm down over the latest development.
&ldquo;We need to move forward and learn to cooperate to rebuild Malaysia, for the sake of the future and wellbeing of all Malaysians regardless of group, race, state or background,&rdquo; he said
Now For The Most Important Question
We all know where this is going. Even YB Yeo Bee yin had jumped on the bandwagon and posted this up on her official Facebook page the moment Anwar Ibrahim was named as the prime minister.

I guess we&rsquo;ll really have to wait and find out soon enough.

GE15: Anwar Ibrahim To Finally Be Sworn In As The 10th Prime Minister Of Malaysia

This week, news outlets everywhere have been buzzing with news about the 15th General Elections (GE15). Typically, we&rsquo;d get an answer of who the new prime minister at the very next day but this time around, neither Pakatan Harapan (PH) or even Perikatan Nasional (PN) has received enough seats to form a government.
The patience of Malaysians are running low as we are all curious to find out who will be the 10th Prime Minister and who will our Federal Government consist of. Because of this, a hung parliament had been declared. If parties such as Barisan Nasional (BN) were to agree to a coalition, we probably wouldn&rsquo;t of need to wait this long to get our Federal Government.

In other news, it&rsquo;s also a worrying time for Malaysians as many inaccurate stories of the tragic May 13th incident that took place in 1969 is going around social media.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9045cc4372808ae34a4b8fa427158eb982916041fa322aea1b19b3e3b3545ec4" />
&nbsp;
Just a little background story for those who don&rsquo;t know what happened, an episode of Sino-Malay sectarian violence had took place in Kuala Lumpur. Riots occurred after the general elections when opposition parties such as the Democratic Action party (DAP) and Gerakan had made gains at the expense of the ruling coalition who were the Alliance Party.
Due to the riots and fights happening around the city, officials had reported a total of 196 deaths. International diplomatic sources had suggested a total of 600 deaths and some even estimated more. Majority of the victims were those who are Chinese ethnicity. Due to that, a national emergency was declared by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Parliament at the time was suspended with a caretaker government in place to govern the country between 1969 and 1971.
PDRM Announces 24-hour Roadblocks
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d539074d12702bb63c262d81f2585053f3b3543b37882956463ca0f47797ade2" />
&nbsp;
Recently the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) released a statement stating that the police will be mounting around-the-clock roadblocks in all districts and &lsquo;strategic locations&rsquo; across the country.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/799dc7b5b5cdcf806cc5a03d399d445043ed07a88c543c669c75903abddb9851" />
&nbsp;
The roadblocks have been deployed since yesterday (22nd Nov) and so far, there&rsquo;s no say how long it will remain in place. PDRM says that the reason for the roadblocks is for the sake of reducing instances of crime around Malaysia as they improve their presence.
One thing to note is that the roadblocks will not be enforced during the day and peak hours hence traffic won&rsquo;t be affected. The PDRM has also urged Malaysians to stay calm and to also cooperate with the orders of authorities when they pass through these roadblocks.
Don&rsquo;t panic Malaysians, we are all OKAY.
If you want to avoid roadblocks, the best thing to do is stay home and spend some quality time with your family.

PDRM To Deploy 24-Hour Roadblocks Nationwide Starting 22 Nov

Mental Health is a topic everyone brushes off so easily, people tend to say you are weak, a coward or you are just making lame excuses whenever you don't feel right. No one here is ready to listen to you or your thoughts. They easily say learn to control your emotions and walk off. But does anyone tell you how?
Those negative emotions piling up in your heart is not your fault. Every day when you step out of your house you face criticism and judgements. Someone would come up to you and say you are too dark, not beautiful, fat, stupid and many more.
If you constantly hear this everyday there is no doubt you will feel your life's worth nothing and the world would be a better place without you. But always remember everyone here has a purpose and you just need to find it and travel together with it. You are worthy no matter what people say because each of us have our own personality to give the world and the only person who can do that is YOU.
Battling our thoughts and mental health needs hard work and tons of homework to be done. So, let's look at the ways that we could take care of our mental health.
(1) Be present
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/458c4b502afa399d431f3eb0f0a0293cb953eecabe0ebba41cba8cb8dfcc5c1e" />
&nbsp;
It is very easy to overthink about the past and future. We know sometimes living in a society that constantly is competitive and puts unbelievable standards on us is really hard to cope up with. We are sure there are days you feel that you want to hide and run away from everything and never come back. There are even some worst days where you want to take your life away. This why we can see suicide rates increasing day by day. The emotions which are not let out on the spot becomes too heavy and finally you lose the battle with your own thoughts.
By overthinking we tend to invite negative and unwanted thoughts. Therefore, we should practice being grateful for today like the saying yesterday was history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift that is why we call it the present.&nbsp; We can practice being grateful by doing journalling or being happy for the simplest things in life. Small things can make us so happy and this can remove our negative thoughts. Instead of worrying about how you acted in the past and how your future is going to be, we should learn how to make today better than yesterday.
(2) Let your feelings out
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2c6a0f6680e72357bd185b6c8878f745a4037789397fe04a0f9803371e1f4a76" />
&nbsp;
Trusting someone with how you are feeling can be scary but I am sure all of us have one family member or friend that we could talk to anytime. If you are feeling a certain way to share with the people you trust the most and would not make fun of you. You are not bound by other people&rsquo;s perception or opinion on how they see you. Like a storybook each of us have our own tale to tell and stories live.
There is no rule or law saying that you should live life a certain way. The so- called standards of society is just a convention that people follow and if you deviate from the norm, you are considered a failure. If you have someone holding your back and cheering for you, you will get through things easier because you know you have support, love and care from your loved ones. It is very important to let your feelings out because severe feelings may lead to severe mental issues. Therefore, don't worry it is ok to not be ok but do not let it consume your identity, there are always solutions to problems just take it one step at time. Be a better person today and make sure to give your 100% by being more productive. Look in the mirror, that's your competition and be happy for who you are and who you have become.
(3) Avoid using substances which can endanger your health or life

It is easy to take a short cut by using alcohol, drugs, or kava to feel better as a coping mechanism so that you would not feel hurt by not doing what your heart loves to do. Yes, you do have to battle certain risks by following your heart, there is a 50% chance of success and 50% chance of failure but not trying at all is the biggest punishment you can give yourself. You might ponder if there is a 50% risk of failure. Why try at all?
If you are worried about that then you can learn the art of multi-tasking where everyone is pleased and happy. It will be very tiring but nothing comes easy and you need to put in the hard work. The harmful substances might help you for a short period of time but in the long run it can worsen the negative feelings. Plus, these substances are harmful for your health and can put you at risk of diseases. Always remember the best medicine for your thoughts are meditation and yoga. Exercise more and let your body move freely. You can take up dance, art, or music lessons to calm your mind but drugs or any harmful substances are never the answer. You will be addicted to it for a lifetime and there is no turning back. Let us not be slaves to drugs or our phones.
(4) Always reach to a professional

&nbsp;
If the situation gets worse do seek professional help or go to any mental health institutes. They are always ready to help you get through and give you support for your emotional well-being. Do not be afraid as they are professionally trained to handle emotions and they will know how to handle you with care. When to see a professional? When the stress is too much to bear. Stress is part of life, but long-term stress can lead to negative effects on physical health.
&nbsp;
"People who are constantly stressed can suffer from persistent headaches, gastrointestinal problems, and even muscle aches," says Kaul.
&nbsp;
It's the first thing that tells you that you need to slow down to lower your stress levels, which is one of the reasons why taking some time to relax or meditate is so helpful." You also should see a professional when you feel yourself shutting from the outside world. Depression is a common mental disorder that adversely affects the ability to function. Remember you are not alone and there is always a rainbow after the rain. You are born to shine and the sky's the limit, do not let these negative thoughts get the best of you.

Last but not the least let me end the article with a little poem:
Society with its high demands, makes us feel we don't deserve a remand.
Being beautiful gets many likes, even though what you are wearing is totally at your dislike.
You treat people like they matter, but they think of you as a clutter.
Some are tired of proving myself worthy, they just walk away silently, so that they don't get hurt really badly.
There are days we feel we don't belong, because you sing a different song, and then you think, am i wrong?
It&rsquo;s okay if you are not let in, sometimes it's okay if you don't fit in, be kind and don't commit sins.
Even Though you feel like a zero, Don't surround your heart filled with sorrow. God only creates Heroes.
