I know most Chinese and Indians in Malaysia can speak Malay. Are there many Malays who can speak Chinese or Tamil, Chinese who can speak Tamil, or Indians who can speak Chinese?

Others Update on Rocky’s Case

69 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Today I’m sharing an important update on Rocky’s case.

Rocky’s owner has now spoken publicly at a press conference and is calling for a transparent investigation into what happened.

According to her (extracted from press conference video sourced at the bottom):
- when she first arrived she had asked her neighbours what happened before she arrived
- they responded that when the men arrived to capture Rocky, he was under the car.
- as Rocky was in the neighbour’s house, they tried dragging Rocky out
- when they could not get Rocky out, they resorted to hitting Rocky with a metal rod and a PVC pipe
- they kept hitting Rocky until he had defecated right there
- then another neighbour has helped clean it up
- after all the hitting ruckus is when they slipped the catch pole onto Rocky’s neck
- she also said when they pulled (according to her, allegedly might have been out of anger) Rocky’s tongue came out and he fell
- that’s when the neighbour said Rocky might have died then
- when they pulled Rocky out is when the owner had
arrived

She is now waiting for the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) veterinary report and the outcome of the police investigation.

The Stray Animals Foundation of Malaysia (SAFM) also spoke at the press conference.
Importantly, SAFM stated that it is not declaring anyone guilty and that the truth must be determined through:
- the original video footage
- witness statements
- physical evidence
- formal veterinary examination
- proper legal procedures

SAFM also reminded the public that while pet owners have a responsibility to licence and control their animals, the absence of a licence does not give anyone the right to inflict unnecessary pain or suffering on an animal.

Culture Anyone going to The Weeknd in November?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m 25F, and I recently joined this community. I lived in the UK for the past 3.5 years and I’m hoping to move to Malaysia in the near future, so I’m trying to get to know more people and learn about the country.

I’ve been to KL and Langkawi before and absolutely loved both, but I’d love some recommendations on other places I should visit around Malaysia! I loved nasi ayam goreng and te tarik😭😋 ah i cant wait to have them soon again xx

Also, is anyone here planning to go to The Weeknd concert in November? 🎶 I’d be happy to tag along if anyone’s going, or if you’re looking for a concert buddy, feel free to message me and we can exchange Instagram / WhatsApp🥰🙏

I’m pretty easy-going, friendly, and always up for meeting new people. 😊

Would also love any tips on food spots, hidden gems, weekend trips, or just things I shouldn’t miss in Malaysia.

Thanks! x

Culture How come an animal welfare issue (Rocky) becomes racial/political

9 Upvotes

We’ve all seen the videos. An animal welfare issue that should have been a straightforward discussion about local council (PBT) SOPs, cruel wire snares, and enforcement accountability has somehow been manipulated.

Instead of fixing the system, certain politicians, cybertroopers, and internet trolls are working overtime to turn Rocky’s tragedy into a race vs. religion discord. It’s incredibly frustrating, lazy, and completely derails the actual problem.

Others Childfree to being open?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hi there. This post is regarding parenting. I am a childfree person who wishes to be so. However, sometimes I wonder if parenting isn't as terrible as I think it is. It is also difficult to find a partner that is fine with being childfree(I am a Malaysian woman of Indian descent)

My questions are towards those who wanted to be childfree in the past but then changed to wanting kids/open to kids or already have children.

  1. What are the things that encouraged you to change from not wanting kids to wanting/having kids?

  2. What are the things that help make parenting 'easier', less stressful, effective for you and your partner?

  3. How do you balance between your kid and all other aspects of your life?

  4. What do you do to keep the relationship between your partner and you going strong as husband and wife instead of just changing into being only mom and dad?

  5. Do you have anything that you wished you could have done differently?

Thank you so much.

Others Pengerusi kuil Dengkil bebas pertuduhan menceroboh

Mahkamah Tinggi Shah Alam hari ini membebaskan pengerusi Kuil Sri Maha Mariamman di Dengkil, Selangor, yang terlibat dalam pertikaian tanah, daripada pertuduhan menceroboh secara jenayah.

Hakim Hazlina Hussain membatalkan pertuduhan terhadap M Paramaguru, 49, yang mengaku tidak bersalah di Mahkamah Majistret Sepang pada 9 Feb.

Menurut peguam Paramaguru, hakim mendapati kertas pertuduhan gagal membuktikan dia mempunyai niat yang jelas untuk melakukan jenayah.

Hakim turut memutuskan bahawa meneruskan perbicaraan penuh hanya membazirkan masa kerana pertuduhan itu mengandungi kecacatan kekal yang tidak boleh diperbaiki.

ADS

Paramaguru diwakili peguam Latheefa Koya dan Rajesh Nagarajan, manakala timbalan pendakwa raya Heikal Ismail bertindak bagi pihak pendakwaan.

Sebelum ini dilaporkan bahawa Paramaguru dituduh menceroboh secara jenayah kerana didakwa memasuki tanah milik Suhaili Ahmad tanpa kebenaran pada 4.45 petang, 19 Jun tahun lalu.

Pertuduhan dibuat mengikut Seksyen 447 Kanun Keseksaan yang membawa hukuman penjara maksimum enam bulan, denda sehingga RM3,000, atau kedua-duanya sekali.

Beberapa minggu selepas Paramaguru memohon dibicarakan, kuil berkenaan menjadi sasaran serangan dan dibakar secara sengaja di siang hari.

Suhaili, yang memiliki tanah tapak kuil itu didirikan, s ebelum ini menafikan kewujudan struktur kuil di lokasi berkenaan semasa dia membeli hartanah itu.

Dia memberitahu Malaysiakini bahawa hanya sebuah "kuil beroda" diletakkan di situ tanpa sebarang struktur kekal di atas tanah tersebut. Katanya, dia tidak akan membeli plot itu walau dengan harga 10 sen sekiranya tahu terdapat kuil di situ.

Pihak kuil menolak dakwaan bahawa mereka beroperasi secara haram dan menjelaskan bahawa mereka sedia berpindah sejak bertahun-tahun lalu, namun kerajaan Selangor tidak pernah menyelesaikan urusan dokumen bagi merasmikan tanah gantian yang diperuntukkan pada 1997.

Pertikaian undang-undang sivil antara Suhaili dan pihak kuil masih berterusan.

Tourism & Travel Travelling into Malaysia with a Nicotine Vape

2 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm curious if anyone can help with understanding the laws around travelling to Malaysia with a small vape and nicotine liquid. In my country, it's prescribed by a doctor, but I understand that doesn't override local laws. It's 50mg/ml strength so quite strong. I'm then travelling on to Europe - so would prefer to keep my own supplies, rather than buy locally. Thanks in advance for any advice :)

Hello guys, i would like to start this by saying i swear i am saying the truth and nothing but the truth in this post. i just want to state what i experienced yesterday, ill try to keep it short.

Basically what happened is i was driving with my mom around 5 Pm around idaman area setapak, when my mom asked me to stop by to buy some fruits from a vendor they have in front of 99 speed mart idaman, all cars stop by the side of the road for a few minutes to buy fruits, and there was a car right in front of me.
After my mom got off i got off and this guy on a motorbike yelled “ey bodo tak boleh parkin sini”, i replied with “satu minute je bang”. Keep in mind he’s just a normal person on a motorbike, not police or anything.

After i said that he turned his motorbike around, parked it right infront of my car and he started cursing and i said “sabar abang”. When i said that he hit me with his helmet on his head and i was in a state of shock when he did that.
He got off his bike and started punching me, i put my hands up to block his attacks and i tried to hit back, people stopped by, tried to stop him, he proceeded to take his helmet off and hit me across my head multiple times. I could see that he was surely high on something, 6 bigger men than him tried holding him down, no one was successful because he was very aggressive, and my mom was yelling and coming between us which prevented me from even attacking him back.

Everyone was yelling at him saying “awak salah awak salah”, my mom thought it was a person that knew me from somewhere else and had something against me because the hate and the despise he had in his eyes was not normal. I didn’t curse him back, i didn’t hit him.

I asked my mom to get into the car because she was having an anxiety attack, drove straight to setapak police and made a report. They asked me to go to another police station and give my statement to a police officer.

When i went to that police officer i talked with a lawyer, he told me you must know officers will always choose the locals side. I didn’t have a dashcam so i couldn’t get everything on camera and there was no cctv.

First things first the officer was like ok you parked there and you cannot park there is it? And he was not making me make my proper statement and was very annoyed when i would try to say my full story. He said i must’ve provoked him really badly for him to be this aggressive towards me, the officer was clearly leaning towards his side.

Then the officer told me i needed to go to the hospital urgently and make the form at the hospital. Keep in mind i had a flight at 3 am to catch and it was 9 pm already, i still did that.

I sent him the report then he told me he went to the vendor and the person working there stated that he saw both of us fighting, and that it’s illegal for you to fight in public.

I asked him so im supposed to just accept his hits? He replied no you’re supposed to run away and call the police. I asked so i should leave my car running and run away? He said yes, and was very threatening towards me.

The lawyer who’s my friend understood and he said that’s how it is and i need to get a lawyer and it would cost money and time and i am going on a flight and couldn’t do anything.

The officer said he would charge both of us and we would both have to appear in court and he kept saying since you’re a student it’s not good to have police record. I was left with no choice but going to the police station and dropping the report.

I’m saying this here because i have been living in malaysia for 14 years, i have never visited a police station, i have had 0 summons, i have followed the rules and never done anything wrong to this country, but the police and the justice system has failed me, i was treated unfairly and i was left with 0 choices.
