Pass away due to Cancer,

Do go for body checkup annually, there's always high chances of cure if anything detect early.

Sometimes the body gives you an early signal, tiredness, weird sensation, weight loss, pain, don't delay go get a check, it will always be too late when multiple of symptoms appeared.

Little Arasy keep boo, hope mummy response like usual 😭😭😭

Environment Racer snails, one of our native freshwater species

Post image
55 Upvotes

Vittina waigiensis, the red racer snail or siput timba merah.

A small (3 cm) freshwater snail that lives in clean coastal streams with high flow and many rocks. It is not tolerant of turbid water and silt.

It feeds on microalgae, filamentous algae, diatoms, cyanobacteria, and organic biofilm scraped from hard surfaces using a specialized radula (“tongue”). They are the natural cleaners of their habitat.

They have separate sexes. When their white eggs hatch, the planktonic/veliger larvae wash downstream where they require brackish water to develop.

Their bright colours, peaceful nature and algae-feasting tendencies makes them popular aquarium inhabitants.

Others Food aids or soup kitchens for foreigners in Malaysia

14 Upvotes

As per title.

So story ahead.

I travel between Singapore and KL a lot due to the nature of my work. I don’t rent a room or apartment for myself but rather I co-rented a junior master bedroom with my friend.

We have this one foreigner flatmate from South Asia who seemed to have issues on their own. He came to Malaysia to work but his work lasted 4 months before getting laid off. He was laid off due to character problems, always going to work late, or just went MIA without a solid reason (sick or whatever). For obvious reasons he lost is main income but it seemed like he is earning some kind of income on the side to still be able to feed himself. But not feed himself on a regular basis since his income is irregular and not much.

Here’s the thing though… From the main master bedroom tenants they’ve mentioned to us (when I came back to KL or was told to me via WhatsApp when I’m not in kl) that this tenant has been touching their food and kitchenwares. He would cook their food using their kitchen wares usually during funny hours like 1am 2am. He would do the same to my roommate and my wares and food too.

He also has a drug problem in a sense that it seems like he has money for drugs but not food or meet proper rent on time. Yeah. The stereotypes sometimes are true some people only have money for anything else and everything else but the important things.

Him eating our food is bad enough. So now my question is: are there any soup kitchens for foreigners in Malaysia? We cannot forever let him eat our food it’s bought using our own money.

The other master bedroom tenants already placed padlocks on the cabinets that have their wares and spices in. My roommate has done the same too.

It isn’t the only thing he did. He has a tendency of shitting on the balcony when someone is using the shared bathroom and he’d do a bad job at cleaning up after himself. Same when he buang air besar in the bathroom he won’t even flush. He actually hid his shit by putting soap in the toilet bowl and splash it with water to create bubbles and foam to cover his shit. That is his type of person. When advised not to do this he started acting confrontative and play victim card saying we are targeting him. We aren’t. We just don’t want to live with a bloodsucker that has bowel problems thinking it’s ok to shit anywhere and did a bad job at cleaning after himself post toilet business. Same with him not earning anything to buy food for himself.

We have reported this crappy behaviour to the landlady and he started targeting the landlady as well. She has asked him to leave but he refused now all of us are stuck with a sore loser in the apartment.

Others Kerajaan benar pemegang Kad Dokumen Pendaftaran Pelarian bekerja, elak eksploitasi sindiket - Saifuddin Nasution

KUALA LUMPUR: Pelarian yang memegang Kad Dokumen Pendaftaran Pelarian (DPP) akan diberikan akses bersyarat kepada sektor pekerjaan formal sebagai pengganti kepada pengambilan pekerja asing baharu.

Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, berkata langkah itu selaras dengan Rancangan Malaysia Ke-13 (RMK13) bagi mengurangi kebergantungan ekonomi negara terhadap pekerja asing

"Bagi mengelakkan pelarian terjerumus ke dalam ekonomi gelap (shadow economy) atau dieksploitasi oleh sindiket, kerajaan memberikan pemegang Kad DPP akses bersyarat kepada sektor pekerjaan formal.

"Kemahiran dan pengalaman bekerja yang dimiliki oleh pemegang Kad DPP akan membuka peluang yang lebih baik untuk mendapat penempatan ke negara ketiga melalui laluan pelengkap (complementary pathway)," katanya dalam jawapan bertulis disiarkan di laman web Parlimen.

Ia bagi menjawab soalan Sivakumar Varatharaju Naidu (PH-Batu Gajah) mengenai kerangka strategik jangka panjang kerajaan dalam mengurus isu Rohingya bagi menyeimbangkan tanggungjawab kemanusiaan, keselamatan dan sosioekonomi negara serta mekanisme perkongsian tanggungjawab serantau dan antarabangsa untuk mencapai penyelesaian berkekalan.

Saifuddin Nasution menegaskan pelaksanaan DPP bertujuan mengurus keberadaan pemegangnya secara sementara dan bukan untuk memberikan penempatan kekal di negara ini.

Sehubungan itu, beliau berkata, Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) akan terus membantu kementerian dan agensi berkaitan dalam rundingan dengan negara asal, negara penerima serta agensi antarabangsa bagi memastikan penyelesaian akhir dilaksanakan secara teratur dan bersesuaian dengan status setiap individu, dengan mengambil kira pertimbangan kemanusiaan serta kepentingan keselamatan negara.

Others Sexually harassed in bathroom

258 Upvotes

Hi guys.

I am from the UK and was just about to board a bus from KL to Penang, and was using the bathroom urinal (I am a man btw).

Anyway, I noticed someone was staring at me using the next urinal, and I thought I’ll ignore it. But he kept looking and I could see a ‘shaking’ motion. Lo and behold, he was masturbating over me whilst standing next to me.

I was and still am furious. I grabbed his shirt, but he was got away as I had a 20kg backpack on my back and a 7kg on my front.

I reported him, and the people at TBS bus station had him in their custody. However, I had to get on my bus, and the staff did not take my details.

I feel violated. What will happen to him, I assume nothing?

Thanks.
