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.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

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.

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.

Haze Controversy: Indonesian Minister Rejects Accusations Of Haze Impact On Malaysia

For many Malaysians, whether we're dining at an RnR centre during a trip or grabbing a quick bite at a fast-food outlet, a common observation revolves around the attitude toward cleaning up the dining area after use.
Our culture has become accustomed to relying on cleaners to handle the post-meal cleanup, and while some may argue it's their responsibility, there's no harm in making an effort to tidy up or clean one's table before the next person occupies the space. Recently, a couple in Singapore garnered praise from netizens as a TikTok video featuring them cleaning not only their own table but also the one behind them went viral.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@kopidankueh/video/7309436522015591687" data-video-id="7309436522015591687">

&nbsp;
In the brief 46-second footage, we witnessed the Singaporean couple going above and beyond to clean their table and the one behind them at a restaurant in Port Dickson. They took the initiative to pick up the tray filled with leftovers and trash, then proceeded to bring it to the counter for the shopkeeper to dispose of. This incident occurred at a place called Kopi Kuih, and the owners were both shocked and pleasantly surprised by the couple's actions. Such behaviour is uncommon, particularly considering that many of their customers are Malaysians.
&ldquo;Such acts of kindness are quite uncommon as most people typically only clear up their own table at restaurants. Many of our customers have always been kind enough to clear up their own plates but these two good Samaritans did not hesitate to clear it up for others after eating,&rdquo; said the owner.
The primary motivation for the kopitiam sharing the TikTok video was to highlight the significance of kindness and its far-reaching impact on the world. They aspire to inspire other Malaysians to emulate such considerate actions.
Netizens Praise The Couple
At the time of writing, the TikTok video has accumulated more than 77,000 views, and numerous netizens have expressed their praise in the comments. This positive response contradicts the negative portrayal often seen in the media, emphasizing that despite a few individuals with attitude issues, many still appreciate the good deeds of our neighbours.
Here's some of the comments:

Hopefully, Malaysians can take inspiration from this couple and adopt a similar practice. By encouraging more people to follow suit, this positive action can set off a chain reaction, fostering a culture where everyone contributes to keeping shared spaces clean and orderly.

Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur Is Set To Open Its Doors Tomorrow

For Malaysians, the joy of finally taking a break from work to explore new destinations is unparalleled. Common choices include trending K-Drama-inspired trips to Korea, visits to America, or exploring the beauty of Europe.
However, as much as we cherish the thrill of adventure, it doesn't always unfold as planned, especially when the outcome is far from enjoyable and memorable. Unfortunately, for a Malaysian couple, their dream vacation in the romantic city of Paris turned into a harrowing nightmare. The discovery of a thief pilfering their belongings during their stay at a Parisian hotel cast a shadow over what should have been a perfect holiday.
Nightmare In Paris
Recently, <a href="https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/656d93aa000000003a00bb7e">Xiaohongshu</a> user Allen Tee took to the Chinese social media app to provide additional insights into the unfortunate incident. Expressing dissatisfaction with the authorities and hotel management, he shared the details of a devastating encounter. The couple, upon returning to their hotel room after a day out in the city, were shocked to find their suitcase ruthlessly cut open, with their valuable items stolen.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/83b60caaf677097426fca42719b9e2cdbbd9a33813b6f8b3b6a827a8bbeb318f" />
While the luggage was unattended in the hotel room, the thieves successfully made off with various items, including cash, wallets, computers, iPads, and phones, along with a recently purchased pony skirt belonging to the woman. Allen discovered unauthorized transactions on his card and, upon contacting the bank to suspend the service, was shocked to learn that the thief had continued using it to make purchases, including meals at McDonald's.
Where &amp; How Did It Happen?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/172e20e78c43013f6e42e2912394481ab6329e4337fdb379d60a3898a15bcc6d" />
The occurrence took place on December 3rd at the Holiday Inn Paris Op&eacute;ra Grands Boulevards hotel. Before embarking on his trip, Allen emphasized that he had thoroughly researched and inquired about safety measures for his visit to Paris. He received advice from many to exercise caution in the city of love, known for pickpockets and street robberies even during daylight. Taking the prevalent crime into account, the couple actively sought secure accommodations in Paris, heeding their friends' recommendation to stay at larger-scale hotels for enhanced safety and dependability.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7d5a5562ac5a58bffac548583ba3dd156986c629c4785d5433ef65f4feae5953" />
An unforeseen event occurred at the hotel when a French guest, fluent in Chinese, unexpectedly encountered the thief in his room upon returning. Engaging with the thief, the Frenchman attempted to flee, but the vigilant guest successfully captured two photos of the culprit as evidence. The images provided conclusive proof that the individual was indeed the thief who had stolen Allen's belongings, as the backpack he was carrying belonged to Allen.
Suspects There&rsquo;s An Insider In The Hotel &amp; Police Were Called To Investigate
Upon closer examination, Allen observed that the hotel permitted outsiders unrestricted access to the premises, including guest floors, at any time. The ease with which the thief could access any room using a simple room card and exit the hotel with stolen goods without arousing staff suspicion led Allen to suspect foul play. He concluded that there might be something dubious happening, with a high likelihood of an insider from the hotel being involved in the break-ins.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2eff66ea4499a6a386af9ec727d079d96623e1f9a08cd6b028c3b486739b0831" />
After reporting the incident to the police and undergoing a series of inquiries, they were instructed to proceed to the nearby police station. There, they were informed that such incidents were treated as common due to the frequency of similar cases. The authorities exhibited indifference, overlooking their concerns, and the couple experienced an extended wait at the police station, with routine questions being primarily communicated in French between the hotel manager and the authorities.
Ultimately, the couple felt let down by the lack of assistance from both the authorities and the hotel staff, who failed to take the situation seriously. Consequently, they opted to relocate to a different hotel, incurring additional expenses to replace the stolen items. Although they continued their trip around France, they had to forgo some initially planned activities due to the unfortunate incident.
This incident serves as a valuable lesson. Contrary to the picturesque image of France, some people label the French as unhygienic, and others have encountered instances of racism towards different cultures and religions. It underscores the importance of exercising caution while travelling, emphasizing the need to take proper precautions to secure belongings and thoroughly inspect accommodations before leaving personal items unattended.

The city of love is also very well known for their high crime rate.

M’sian Couple’s Paris Trip Becomes A Nightmare After Thief Breaks Into Their Hotel Room & Steals Their Valuables

This past week, our nation was shocked by the news of Zayn Rayyan&rsquo;s death, an autistic non-speaking 6-year-old boy. He was first reported missing on 7th December (Tuesday) when his missing poster went viral on social media. On 8th December (Wednesday), his body was found lying on a riverbed not far from his family residence in Damansara Damai. While waiting for the autopsy result, police classified the poor boy&rsquo;s death as sudden death.
Late evening yesterday, our nation was once again shocked when police reclassified the late Zayn Rayyan&rsquo;s death as murder. Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the case of the child's death has been reclassified as murder after the autopsy found signs of injuries on the victim's neck and body. &ldquo;We will re-record statements from the victim&rsquo;s parents, family members, and neighbours to aid the investigation,&rdquo; he added.
Bukit Aman Is Probing Further Into The Case
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a19f70c641aa2aaa9e1556b64f0d0b59e3aae7c612f27f2d407898f3e2cd4290" alt="" width="518" height="319" /> Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, in his press conference with the media, confirmed there were traces of strangulation on the victim&rsquo;s body after receiving the full autopsy report from the forensics. &ldquo;The victim for sure did not die from drowning. He did not die at the scene we found him. Chances are he was murdered somewhere else before his body was dumped at the scene,&rdquo; added the Bukit Aman CID director further.
Police suspected the boy was dead within 48 hours before he was found based on the post-mortem report. While Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily confirmed the strangulation claim, he refused to provide further details of injuries sustained by the victim as a sign of respect towards the deceased and his family. However, he did not deny there were traces of injuries of the victim trying to defend himself.
&ldquo;We are probing into this case seriously. It&rsquo;s still too early for us to reveal the progress of the investigation, but as of right now, we strongly believe this is a murder case. To anyone who has information out there, please come forward to aid us in the investigation,&rdquo; said Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily. Recalling where the body was found, the police are not ruling out the possibility that the suspect might be familiar with the apartment complex &ndash; considering the body was found in a secluded area of the river, an area that the locals do not frequently visit. He mentioned that police would search for evidence at the scene of the incident to aid in identifying the suspect and did not dismiss the possibility that the suspect could be from the area.&nbsp;
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code as a homicide case.
Bereaved Family

Zayn Rayyan&rsquo;s body was taken to Sungai Buloh Hospital Forensic Department shortly after he was found for autopsy process. His body was taken out from the hospital to Masjid Damansara Damai for prayers before being buried at Section 9 Muslim Cemetery in Kota Damansara yesterday evening.
Neither of the victim&rsquo;s parents or extended family members were available for comments as they were still grieving with the unfortunate news. The public has been advised to refrain from making speculations to avoid disrupting the police investigation.

About a week ago, the renowned Japanese anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" sent shockwaves through social media, rapidly capturing attention and sparking widespread discussions, unexpectedly placing the city of Kuantan in the limelight.

In the 42nd episode that aired on November 24th, the protagonist, Yuji Itadori, expressed his longing to explore Malaysia, with a particular interest in the serene town of Kuantan, following his intense confrontation with a formidable adversary.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
&ldquo;Malaysia. That&rsquo;s right. Malaysia. I should go to Kuantan.&rdquo; - Nanami Kento<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/JujutsuKaisen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#JujutsuKaisen</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/%E5%91%AA%E8%A1%93%E5%BB%BB%E6%88%A6%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%83%A0%E3%83%91%E3%83%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#呪術廻戦ファントムパレード</a> <a href="https://t.co/eTy3y9ZVPa">pic.twitter.com/eTy3y9ZVPa</a>

Since the episode's premiere and its popularity rippling through social media, it has sustained a significant impact on both social and local media, notably contributing to a surge in tourism for the quaint town.
State Government Attempting To Contact Creators

Moreover, it captured the interest of Leong Yu Man, the Pahang Unity, Tourism, and Culture Exco, who has proactively undertaken the task of reaching out to the creators of Jujutsu Kaisen. This initiative comes in response to fans of the animated series designating spots on Google Maps as a memorial for Nanami.

Reports indicate that certain enthusiasts have gone a step further by submitting a proposal to erect a memorial at the designated spot on Teluk Cempedak Beach. Presently, the state government is diligently pursuing the creators' endorsement, envisioning a transformation of Kuantan into a premier global destination for anime enthusiasts.
Plans To Turn Tanjung Lumpur Into A Tourist Destination?
The discussion arose when Leong responded to a query from Tanjung Lumpur ADUN Rosli Abdul Jabar regarding the state government's initiatives to elevate the beaches along Tanjung Lumpur into a prominent tourist destination.

The dialogue closely mirrored Nanami's sentiments in episode 42, where he expressed, "I'll construct a home on a deserted beach. The books I purchased but never read have accumulated like a mountain. I wish to peruse them leisurely as if I'm reclaiming lost time." This poignant moment unfolded against a montage of Nanami battling monsters and enjoying a dance on the beach in the series.
Little did we expect that an anime could leave such a lasting impact on a serene town! Teluk Cempedak, already a bustling beach during holidays, is poised to become even more popular if the state government secures an endorsement from the creators. What a unique way to boost local tourism, isn't it? Keep an eye out for Kuantan's transformation into a global anime enthusiast hotspot!
