For some of us adventure seekers, climbing a mountain is certainly something that we&rsquo;d put on our bucket list as it&rsquo;s not often you get to have the feeling of being on top of the world.
If you&rsquo;re in Malaysia, one of the stepping stones to climbing mountains is to reach the peak of Mount Kinabalu in Sabah as it&rsquo;s the tallest mountain in Malaysia. In the past, we&rsquo;ve also seen some pretty interesting stories of people climbing Mount Kinabalu, from wearing an Iron Man suit to even a FoodPanda rider at its peak.

Japanese Man Climbs Mount Kinabalu In A Suit

If you thought you&rsquo;ve seen it all, oh how wrong you are. Recently, a Japanese man had scaled to the top of the mountain in a three-piece suit! The man, identified as Nobutaka Sada is a tailor who markets his brand &ldquo;Sada&rdquo; on a whole new level as he tends to find himself in unusual circumstances and unexpected locations.
Recently, one of the mountain porters had bumped into Sada while he was making his way up the mountain with a briefcase and rocking a pair of brown Asics leather business shoes. The porter asked Sada where he was from and Sada&rsquo;s reply was priceless.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m from Japan. I have a business meeting at the peak of Mount Kinabalu,&rdquo; he said.

After Sada left, the porter continued on to make his way to the top and ran into Sada again at the Raban Lata halfway point and the peak of the mountain where Sada was posing for photos at the top. Once Sada was done with his &ldquo;business meeting&rdquo; the porter approached Sada again and he said he&rsquo;ll be going for a jog now. Just as the porter wished him congratulations, Sada had made his way down the mountain.

Sada Shares His Experience On Facebook
After this adventure to the top, Sada shared his experience of his journey to the top of the mountain on Facebook.

&ldquo;In SADA&rsquo;s custom suit, I successfully climbed the highest peak in Borneo, Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia! It&rsquo;s higher than Mount Fuji, standing at 4,095 meters above sea level! I even stayed overnight in a hut halfway up the mountain and climbed the steep slope to see the sunrise at the summit, illuminated by the stars. Despite the tropical humidity and rain that we encountered during the climb, SADA's custom suit maintained a level of professionalism suitable for business meetings. SADA's custom suit can withstand even climbing Mount Kinabalu!&rdquo; he said.
Initially, he did not know that the TikTok video from the porter had gained quite a lot of attention and as he was leaving the airport, someone at the immigration counter asked if he climbed the mountain in the suit he was wearing. At first, he was puzzled and later found out that the person found that he had gone viral on TikTok.
Netizens Amazed At Sada
At the time of writing this article, the video of Sada stating that he had finished his business meeting at the top of the mountain had gained 141.3K views, &nbsp;13.5K likes and 560 comments on TikTok. Meanwhile, on Twitter, two posts about Sada&rsquo;s climb had gone viral with 2.9K and 2.5K retweets respectively.

Japanese Man Climbs Up Mount Kinabalu In A Full Suit!

Have you been experiencing a slight dip in your health and air quality lately?
If you haven't already noticed, or perhaps had to clear your foggy glasses, it's that time of the year when Malaysians need to brace themselves for poor air quality caused by the annual forest fires in certain parts of Indonesia.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/278de1e9c6b430605f5b39aa372b5de95f25fb5426a79eb6eaa2209916159cd5" />
Indonesia has been grappling with recurrent forest fires for quite some time now. In case you've been living under a rock, these fires are far from natural; in fact, they're deliberately ignited as the quickest (albeit most detrimental) means of clearing extensive land for agricultural purposes. While they may be intentionally started, fires are an inherent part of nature, and sometimes they spiral out of control, leading to extensive burning that exacerbates global temperature rise and air pollution.
Now, the pertinent question is whether Indonesia is shouldering any responsibility to combat the haze that extends to Malaysia. Brace yourselves; the answer won't come as a shock, as it's a resounding "no."
Indonesia&rsquo;s Environment Minister Denies Accusation Of Causing Haze
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d981cbdeff5e6ffcf67a834ee4e45fa50b78e204156538d33b6abf7a783f87f6" />
Even though clear geographical maps vividly display the wind patterns carrying haze from Indonesia into Malaysia, Indonesia's Environment and Forest Minister, Siti Nurbaya Bakar, responded to accusations of her country's responsibility for the haze. She contended that the reports on smoke distribution failed to demonstrate smoke crossing over to Malaysia.
In a press conference held in Jakarta, she asserted, "We diligently monitor the situation, and the data indicates no transboundary haze affecting Malaysia. In fact, the reports illustrate that the smoke in Indonesia is primarily concentrated in Sumatra and Kalimantan."
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a60a00fed6971a403c8568016bb02a09ab343f63ea01b5c9ffad4e4a13972b95" /> Uhhh, are you sure about that?
Siti also emphasized that Indonesian authorities are actively engaged in managing the smoke and have issued warnings to the 203 companies responsible for forest burning. In a significant move, they have also shuttered 20 companies participating in these activities, including those that are subsidiaries of Malaysian firms.
The Malaysian Environment Department attributes the country's deteriorating air quality to the transboundary haze originating from Indonesia, which has persisted since Friday, September 29th. As of 10 am today, October 3rd, the Air Pollutant Index Management System (APIMS) reported an Air Pollutant Index (API) of 157 in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, making it the most severely affected area by the haze.
Netizen Calls Out Indonesian Minister
The minister's comments quickly gained traction on social media, sparking widespread outrage among netizens who expressed their frustration with the recurring haze problem. Many criticized Siti for her statement and called on her to take greater responsibility for addressing the issue of open burning, which leads to the annual return of hazardous haze to Malaysia, often reaching severe levels.

If You Thought It Was Bad In Malaysia, It&rsquo;s Doing Worse In Indonesia
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/037a165db0bea311e27d84abbc4e5b4e30586aa3a46d5cfcbce764b99a1fb78f" />
In case you weren't aware, Jakarta was ranked as the world's most polluted city by IQAir, a Swiss air quality technology company. They reported that the city consistently records unhealthy levels of air pollution nearly every day. Due to the severe pollution problem in the capital, Jakarta has undertaken several initiatives to combat air pollution. One significant effort involved the installation of 125 water mist generators throughout the city.
Furthermore, an additional 28 water mist units are currently being installed as part of the government's determined efforts to improve air quality. To address this issue, they have also introduced a protocol for watering over 290 road locations across Jakarta, collaborating with the city's Fire and Rescue Service department.
In response to these air quality concerns, residents of Jakarta have been strongly advised to wear KN95 or KN94 masks when outdoors. The Jakarta Health Service Department has cautioned against unnecessary outdoor activities to minimize exposure to polluted air.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1e0f0be95886efe02c7b453f1dadaef465ea7b34b65032a647cfab019353093d" />
As for the ongoing forest fires, tackling them has become quite challenging because Indonesia is currently experiencing its driest season since 2019, primarily attributed to the influence of the El Nino weather pattern. The situation has resulted in significant forest fires, with over 267,900 hectares (661,995.3 acres) of land burned this year alone. To put this into perspective, it's larger than the total of 204,894 hectares burned throughout the entirety of 2022, according to data from the environment ministry. Consequently, this has led to the spread of haze to numerous cities in Sumatra and Borneo.
Siti's comments as an environmental minister are concerning. Let's hope the Indonesian government takes effective measures to reduce the haze in the coming years.

Here's the display of comments made by netizens in YouTube for being proud of Pei Ling's achievement and that she received praises widely from her fans: 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d7d26c382ad9d00aafa6ab4f0c0d167d5eb628a550fdaa6b5b7f4eed40971e2c" />
At the tender age of eight, Pei Ling participated in numerous and diverse singing competitions in China. She secured herself as the winner of the Water Cube Cup overseas Chinese youth singing contest back in 2014. Moreover, she also went for the Sing! China in 2016 and made herself as one of the finalists in which she was widely known for her strong vocal performance, and one of it was the 'Fight Song' that she sang. 
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eiHiymqdPCY" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
She told the public boldly with her piece of advice mentioning &ldquo;Whatever it is you wish to do, be brave and pursue it! Adventurers, don&rsquo;t be afraid or give up easily. If I can do it, so can you!&rdquo;
This is where we can relate to her brave singing voice when long ago she sang a song by A-Mei, &lsquo;勇敢&rsquo; (Brave). At such a young age, she already aimed to courageously chase her little adventurous dream which she was truly passionate about. 
It has been 15 years since she started singing and she said &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not easy to keep singing until now. Every time I want to give up, I tell myself to hang in there for a little while more. This time, I can finally confidently say that I did it!&rdquo;
Here are the two videos that portrayed her splendid singing performance for The Next 2023:&nbsp;

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8sUmvjhQc-w" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In the end, hasn't all her hard work paid off?
Congratulations Pei Ling for making us all proud that aspiring singers can emulate you to be &lsquo;The Next Boleh&rsquo;!&nbsp;

Malaysian Born Singer Proudly Secured Herself With Remarkable Fame As The Winner Of "The Next 2023!"

Residing in Malaysia, broaching the subject of religion can be rather delicate, given that many have faced accusations of showing disrespect towards religious beliefs, while others have cynically used it to gain popularity.
In our multiracial nation, harmonious coexistence and mutual respect for each other's religions have traditionally been the norm, often culminating in the joint celebration of festive occasions. However, regrettably, this harmonious spirit appears to elude certain individuals.
Young Malaysian Uses Christianity As His Aesthetics
Lately, a young Malaysian caught the attention of a Twitter user who uses the handle <a href="https://twitter.com/cass48374/status/1708422070940709183">Wentour or @cass48374</a>. This individual posted a series of tweets unveiling someone's disrespectful behaviour towards Christianity. The hope expressed was that the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) would initiate suitable actions against the individual in question, including their arrest.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/36af528efc6100ea8c137669ae7b3a11554915082d6640e1aa83eac774783579" />
According to the Twitter thread, a young individual named Razeeq has come under scrutiny for posting offensive content on both his Instagram and TikTok accounts. As per the original poster (OP), this issue began a couple of months ago when Razeeq shared pictures on his TikTok account featuring himself and a friend posing beside graves in a Christian cemetery late at night. This act prompted criticism, with many condemning it as an offensive "photoshoot" that displayed a lack of respect for the deceased.
Despite facing substantial backlash in the comments section of his TikTok posts, Razeeq remained unapologetic and refused to acknowledge his wrongdoing. The controversy centres around his affinity for metal music, and he sought to emulate photos by artists who often incorporate Christian imagery in their album covers, music videos, and promotional photoshoots. An individual claiming to know Razeeq personally came forward to offer an apology on his behalf. However, despite their attempts to advise him, these efforts proved unsuccessful.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e8bf0f066da7e02097961988378b75c78b43f23a30e036a9e94671e36220d9ce" />
Within the thread, the OP included screenshots of comments made by TikTok users, illustrating Razeeq's reactions to most of those comments. Some of these comments were highly critical, to the point where the OP's initial call-out of Razeeq on TikTok resulted in the suspension of the user's account. It's worth noting that some of Razeeq's comments were also notably harsh in tone.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/143d400a9222310e3cdb2f18252acafbdf06d27a82120b36e7894f9a6f0c52c3" />
In the posts that Razeeq shared, one of them included a photo featuring a screenshot from a page of a Batman comic titled "The Blasphemy of Batman." In this comic page, the beloved DC superhero Batman is depicted observing a bloodied and vandalized statue of Jesus Christ within a church.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/13ae34c249fe1578223b9fa06408e1d698bae0f7f75d9c92e713451b5839e56d" />
Concluding the thread, the Twitter user expresses their hope that the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) will initiate suitable actions against Razeeq. The user emphasizes their belief that every religion imparts valuable teachings, and it falls upon individuals to propagate those messages positively.
Netizens Criticize Razeeq
At the time of writing, the post has accumulated more than 679.7k views, over 5.6k reposts, and more than 5k likes on the platform. Numerous Malaysian Christians and Muslims also participated in the comments section, expressing their condemnation of Razeeq's actions as a form of disrespect towards religion.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

Following the viral spread of the issue on Twitter, it appears that Razeeq has deactivated both his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This action suggests that Razeeq may have realized the magnitude of trouble he could be in due to the posts. Currently, there has been no official statement from the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) regarding the matter, and Wentour has not provided any further updates on the issue.
It's important to emphasize that making light of or using one's religion as part of an "aesthetic" lifestyle is not a respectful way to treat any religion. Hopefully, authorities will thoroughly investigate this issue, and justice can be served accordingly.

Let's always remember, religion should be respected within our community and not used as part of a 'lifestyle'.

M’sian TikToker Exposed After Having Publicly Disrespecting Christianity On Social Media

Education plays a pivotal role for students from various backgrounds because with education, their future can be brightened and more human capital can be produced for the country&rsquo;s growth and stability be it for economic, political, or social reasons. 
Nothing brings more joy when students are eligible for free tertiary education to further their studies and pursue their dreams. This is true in the case of Sarawakian students. Recently, Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg officially announced that students from Sarawak who are eligible to enter into the institutes will be able to pursue their free tertiary education at state-owned universities from the year 2026 onwards. 
The five state-owned universities include Curtin University, Swinburne University, University of Technology Sarawak (UTS), i-CATS University College, and lastly, the Kolej Laila Taib (KLT).

<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FSarawakkuNadiInformasiRakyat%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0Wdm6tn24mD2zn1nm1wJevPQDBUgs4MyjNsVXt8Yd7jC2GQZD9mNSMSLPdbKJmVLtl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="792" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Understanding the economic strength of the state and being the Sarawak finance and new economy minister, Abang Johari ascertained that the Sarawak government is strong enough to provide educational support in the coming three years as a means to produce more qualified Sarawakians and enable them to have access to new technology for the state&rsquo;s development. 
He had consulted the Education, Innovation, and Talent Development Minister Datuk Roland Sagah Wee Inn as well as his Deputy Datuk Dr. Annuar Rapaee. Together, they researched the feasibility of providing free tertiary education to their own Sarawakian students in the state-owned universities mentioned. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c63bc23663cda1e833e84baf96d9d71a3f6252abc06f925eb34d8cb2371d7c5b" />
He further went on with his statement by saying &ldquo;Based on the figure of this study, I believe that under the 13th Malaysia Plan, we will be able to give free tertiary education to Sarawakians by 2025 or 2026.&rdquo; 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/63e2eb141c4f398550831e28fa2a0a7e8faf557eb982325e8c9a0a40ae445ae9" />
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the 20th edition of the Tidal Bore Festival in Simanggang on the 1st of October, Sunday, he revealed confidently that he foresees the future economic condition will be much stronger, and by that time, it will be a suitable year to conduct it. 
Why did he confidently say so?
According to him, the yearly projection of Sarawak&rsquo;s income has rocketed since 2020. Moreover, Sarawak had a recorded revenue of RM12 billion last year and he believes this year will be more fruitful than the previous. 
He also stated that there was a fund known as the &lsquo;Sarawak Sovereign Wealth Future Fund.&rsquo; To date, the fund is sufficient to offer free tertiary education, and the remaining balance will go to young Sarawakians besides boosting the state&rsquo;s economy as well as enhancing the infrastructure development throughout the state.&nbsp; 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2eaba9d3f211786b1532643d602cd2944fa32036787d05a4b18902fc743e17bc" />
Previously, it was reported that Sarawak planned a sovereign wealth fund with RM8 million as the starting amount to build up the state&rsquo;s financial sustainability. As such, it intends to begin the fund by the year 2024. 
Sarawak is said to have a promising future and he encouraged the people to have the &lsquo;muhibah&rsquo; spirit with the aim of keeping unity alive besides working together as a means to elevate the state to greater heights. 
He associated his impactful saying with the regatta boat race at Pesta Benak which emphasized that the paddlers row together in one direction when all of them have a common goal of winning the race.

Among those who were present namely Abang Johari&rsquo;s wife Puan Sri Datuk Amar Juma&rsquo;ani Tuanku Bujang, Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas, Sarawak Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, Deputy Minister for Education, Innovation and Talent Development II (Talent Development) Datuk Francis Harden Hollis, Sri Aman MP Dato Sri Doris Sophia Brodie as well as Sri Aman Division resident Abang Mohamad Porkan Abang Budiman.

It is indeed a good and feasible implementation to have free tertiary education so that Sarawak’s students need not worry any longer in the near future.

Empowering Sarawak: Free Tertiary Education On the Horizon By 2026

Over the past few weeks, social media has been abuzz with discussions about the new women-only MRT coach on the Kajang Line. The introduction of this coach aims to provide a safe space for women during their train commutes, responding to the safety concerns raised by multiple harassment cases that have occurred at stations and onboard trains.
While many women have welcomed this initiative with enthusiasm, it has also faced criticism from both men and women. Some have questioned why the MRT system implemented a women-only coach instead of addressing the frequency issues, which are the main cause of congestion during peak hours. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the lack of security personnel around the station, despite the known harassment issues in the past.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/83f80f4fcf7812ac1f0f9448c8f513b7a7a4833340ca27bf26edc9cf0afae5a2" />
RapidKL also established a guideline specifying that the women's coach would be positioned in the middle of the train and distinguished by prominently visible pink stickers on the platform, doors, and intermediate carriages. However, one might wonder about its effectiveness thus far.
Foodpanda Rider Chases Away Men In The Women&rsquo;s Coach
A TikTok video recently went viral, capturing the moment when a Foodpanda rider took the initiative to request male passengers occupying the women-only MRT coach to leave. This act of intervention earned him widespread admiration among online netizens.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@jai.samud/video/7284639162924322050" data-video-id="7284639162924322050">

</blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>

A video shared by TikTok user @jai.samud featured a Foodpanda rider politely asking foreign passengers to vacate the women-only MRT coach. He took the time to explain that this particular coach was designated exclusively for women. The video was captioned, "Abang Food Panda shows genuine concern by ushering men away from the women&rsquo;s section."
From the video, it appeared that the foreign men were unaware that they were in the women's coach, and they seemed oblivious to or misunderstood the "women-only coach" signage. While the Foodpanda rider did the right thing by informing them of their mistake, some of the men expressed dissatisfaction and questioned the rider's actions.
Netizens Praise The Rider For His Efforts
At the time of writing, the video has amassed more than 697,000 views and received over 45,000 Likes on the platform. Numerous netizens, both men and women, praised the rider's actions, acknowledging that this small gesture held significant meaning for women commuters. Many also made light-hearted suggestions, suggesting that the rider should consider a role as an auxiliary police officer for train stations and even be compensated for assisting in train patrols.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/901325a571daed00744e0493bd68d1c433c79231a44c12df7da3d3548a5c8859" />
Hats off to the rider, as his simple act of kindness can ripple through and positively influence those around him, particularly by enhancing the sense of safety within the women's designated MRT coach.

Perhaps MRT should pay him to be an auxiliary police instead.
