Mother and Daughter

Convocation ceremony

Convocation ceremonies are highly important for all students and their families, and for all faculty and staff members as well. It is a time for celebration of all the academic accomplishments, to acknowledge the students for successfully completing their tiring journeys and finally getting their hard earned education degrees.

However, this big moment was particularly even more special and heart-warming for this 65-year-old mother, as she steps on stage on the behalf of her late daughter.
On Sunday, Cheng Lak Mooi was moved to tears as she hears the name of her late daughter Ng Yi Ming, who was called to posthumously receive her doctorate at the 23rd Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) convocation ceremony. The mother walks up on stage to accept her daughter&rsquo;s scroll from the Sabah Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin on the morning of June 26.
&ldquo;I am very happy to be able to fulfil the wishes of my late daughter to attend and receive the scroll on her behalf, '' Cheng said.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656301548/unsigned/v6aloc2jhtn00jnl99na.webp" alt="" width="621" height="390" />
Ng Yi Ming was awarded the PhD in Psychology from UMS, after previously obtaining her Bachelor of Industrial and Organisational Psychology from the same university, and her Master of Science in Child Development Psychology from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).
"She was a very diligent and very tenacious person. We are very proud of her as she managed to do well academically despite suffering from a heart condition," Cheng said.
According to her mother, Ng Yi Ming had made her PhD presentation on January 21st 2021 and was given three months to correct her thesis, however she was not able to do so, as she took her last breath on February 21st 2021, after battling a heart condition called &lsquo;mitral valve prolapse&rsquo; for more than 20 years, and after undergoing a high-risk surgery in 2014, which led to her often suffering from heart palpitations.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656301737/unsigned/x6vdx1bqfqzziujpe7as.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="657" />
The mother and the rest of Ng's family are extremely proud of her because despite facing poor health, Ng Yi Ming showed tenacity and high determination to complete her studies, and was able to attain high achievements.
Let Ng Yi Ming be an inspiration and a reminder to the rest of us to never give up on what we are pursuing despite the harsh obstacles we face in life.&nbsp;

Mother Receives Late Daughter’s PhD Scroll At UMS Convocation

How many of us here agree that Penang is considered the &ldquo;Food Heaven&rdquo; of Malaysia?
<img src="https://c.tenor.com/Nth9rksdaUQAAAAd/jarry-hello.gif" />
&nbsp;
If it&rsquo;s one thing about living in the Klang Valley, there&rsquo;s no doubt that we have a lot of food here but I don&rsquo;t think many of us are willing to brave through 1 hour of traffic to just travel a few kilometres just for food.
Every time we crave food, many of us always think of taking a road trip up north to enjoy the views of Penang Island plus the many choices of food that they have to offer.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660553170/unsigned/fykkneudjdtyzub6l01s.png" />
&nbsp;
Well, we got some good news! For those Penang foodies who are within the Klang Valley, the airasia Super app had just announced that airasia food will now be offering intercity food deliveries, specifically from Penang to the Klang Valley!
<img src="https://c.tenor.com/Ag6mBw4Eu7IAAAAM/gameboyluke-yooo.gif" />
&nbsp;
That&rsquo;s right! Don&rsquo;t let your dreams be dreams as those in the Klang Valley can now order cooked food from Penang and have it air-flown and delivered right to your doorstep.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660553198/unsigned/keykfysmqm2ncrvgwpmq.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Since the offer is newly launched, deliveries are currently limited with around eight or so restaurants involved with the platform. Some of them being: - Hameeda Pata &amp; Bangkok Lane Mee Goreng Sotong - Jeruk Made Pak Ali&rsquo;s Jeruk Campur - Li Er Caf&eacute;&rsquo;s Nyonya Kuih - Nasi Kandar Hameediyah - Bee Hwa Caf&eacute;&rsquo;s White Curry Mee, Char Koay Teow &amp; Hokkien Mee
airasia says that in the coming future, more restaurants will be added as well as a wider variety menu as most shops now offer only 1-3 items from their menu.
Delivery done only once a week
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660553220/unsigned/h83zkqflmwjgmeyitjyv.jpg" />
&nbsp;
For those wanting to get their Penang food fix, deliveries are only done once a week every Wednesday. Orders must be placed before 5PM on Tuesdays in order to get your food if not you&rsquo;ll have to wait for the following week&rsquo;s slot. If you plan to order the food, you can do so by pre-ordering 30 days in advance too.
How much does it cost?
For those wanting to get air-flown food form Penang, it will cost a total of RM5.99 per order and that&rsquo;s broken down to RM2.99 for their regular doorstep delivery and RM3 for intercity delivery.
When reviewing the list of restaurants available, the price of the food ranges between RM30 to RM77 with some of them coming in combo pax of 3-4 per order. That&rsquo;s not that bad when you think of it cause some of the food in KL alone cost just as much and not to forget, the expensive delivery fees we have here from other competitor brands. 
In terms food freshness, looks like we&rsquo;ll have to wait another time to review it.
I attempted to book an order at two separate restaurants and it prompted stating that it can&rsquo;t receive orders now. #Sedih
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660553272/unsigned/h0fd5k2gqkzvvw7k3kcv.png" />
&nbsp;
At the moment, the delivery service is only one-way so those in Penang can&rsquo;t order food from the Klang Valley.
Looks like those in the Klang Valley can now try something new. But the question is, how long will food take to come? Let&rsquo;s find out soon enough!
What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments!

To all Studio Ghibli fans out there, the wait is finally over! The Studio Ghibli Park in Japan is nearing its official opening and tickets are now available for purchase online.
The theme park is set to officially open its doors to the public on November 1 2022, and long-time fans will soon be able to explore and discover the wonders of Studio Ghibli.

&nbsp;The 200-hectare site of the 2005 World Expo will be transformed into &lsquo;<a href="https://ghibli-park.jp/en/">Studio Ghibli Theme Park&rsquo;</a>, an immersive park with open areas based on the popular films of Studio Ghibli such as Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro, Whisper of the Heart, among others.

When we hear the name Namewee, what&rsquo;s the first thing that comes to mind?
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660546822/unsigned/f3gxnkq0kmh8orgjvjpc.jpg" />
&nbsp;
For most of us, the first thing we would think of is controversy. Truth be told, he is no stranger to it as he has made many headlines in the news from becoming an overnight millionaire for selling NFTs to being a nominated for International Film Awards. He&rsquo;s pretty much done it all.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/664/namewee-becomes-an-overnight-millionaire-after-selling-nfts-of-his-new-song">Namewee Becomes An Overnight Millionaire After Selling NFTs Of His New Song</a> Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/325/babi-nominated-for-4-international-film-awards-about-bullying-in-schools">'Babi' Nominated for (4) International Film Awards - About Bullying in Schools</a>
But this time around the controversial singer-songwriter had just dropped his latest rap song &lsquo;Katak&rsquo; and had a familiar face present in it and it was none other than Muar MP and Muda president Syed Saddiq! At the time of writing this, the video has gained 1.2 million views as well as 31K likes on YouTube.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DTvo3TWBR2o" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
The song was released on 12 August (Friday) and was seen as &ldquo;a dig at Malaysia&rsquo;s political frogs&rdquo; as recently an Anti-Party Hopping Bill had passed.
Namewee commented that the song was made specially to lament the eventual extinction of frogs in Malaysia.
&ldquo;Frogs in Malaysia will go extinct soon. Let&rsquo;s lament them through this &lsquo;Katak&rsquo; song!&rdquo; he said.
Funny enough, Namewee had also written in Mandarin as he wondered if the music video would land him in trouble again. Not surprising as it&rsquo;s happened in the past.
&ldquo;Malaysia has been very free of speech in the past two years, hasn&rsquo;t it?&rdquo; he quipped sarcastically before sending his best wishes to the &ldquo;political frogs&rdquo; with the help of a Malay vulgarity and urged Malaysians to &ldquo;do the frog dance together.&rdquo;
A music video full of stars and big names
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660546892/unsigned/iemagpgejbtcv5oryo8e.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Aside from Syed Saddiq, the music video had quite a number of stars featured in it. Some of them being local rap group 5Fourty2 which DAP member and Dusun Tua assemblyman Edry Faizal Eddy Yusof was formerly a part of under the stage name Orfeus, and The Real Masta Clan, who raps in Malay, Mandarin and Tamil.
In the music video, phrases such as &ldquo;jump here and there&rdquo;, &ldquo;frogs at the backdoor&rdquo; who &ldquo;suddenly come and go&rdquo; had been used. This was directed towards the politicians who have been jumping parties and caused our political scene to be unstable.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660546910/unsigned/hymbsx8to7bp35ejy0ba.png" />
&nbsp;
The funny bit of the video is how Namewee was seen dancing with men wearing suits, dollar sign-shaped sunglasses and frog masks along the streets of KL. Later, they ended up in a restaurant with Syed Saddiq
Towards the end of the video, Syed Saddiq himself had given a speech in Malay as he took a jab to the &ldquo;political frogs&rdquo; and also stated that they were a protected species and a national treasure.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660546945/unsigned/n9nlkvwnjfnnhrof9czp.png" />
&nbsp;
&ldquo;They have a very high IQ and are very good at jumping with a lot of collagen and most importantly, they are very rich.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Being under our country for many years, frogs continue to mate non-stop and reproduce in increasing numbers,&rdquo; eh says. He ends it off by shouting &ldquo;Hidup Katak!&rdquo; (Long live the frogs) before being dragged off stage by the men in the suits.
Inspired by the Anti-Party Hopping Bill

The whole video was inspired by the bill that was recently passed by the Dewan Rakyet where MPs can&rsquo;t simply switch parties.
It was certainly a hot topic following the fall of Pakatan Harapan (PH) in February 2020 where a new government was formed helmed by former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Among everything happening, seeing Syed Saddiq in a Namewee video was the most unexpected thing to happen. I guess as they say, “Hidup Katak!”

Namewee Drops His Latest ‘Katak’ Music Video Featuring Muar MP Syed Saddiq!

ASEAN 55th anniversary is back with the theme "Stronger Together" to emphasize the value of integration and shared agenda in the means of countering COVID-19.
This event was founded on 8th August 1967, aimed to encourage economic growth, social progress and cultural development of the regions involved. It is also to assist in regional peace and stability through the respect towards justice and rule of law.
This celebration was followed by the declaration of "The Year of Asean Youth" with the objective of building up youth participation and development in the Asean Work Plan on Youth 2021-2025.
But all of these objectives can't be reached if the youth does not have a good understanding of the issues happening around them.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660545307/unsigned/ngsfvyad2l2uxsxd3pm9.png" />
Singapore-based ISEAS-Yusuf Ishak Institute conducted a survey that revolved around the issue of ethnic minority and young activist displacements by security forces in Myanmar.&nbsp;
The result of the survey showed 621 participants from the Asean state approved the discrimination in Myanmar.
Only 283 of them were concerned about the slow response of the political and humanitarian crisis around the issue.&nbsp;
This is concerning as it may be the result of a lack of understanding of the issue itself.
Fortunately, several actions have been taken to encourage the understand of Asean youth of its regional issues.
The very first Asean Youth Dialogue was held last month to create rooms for around 200 young leaders to discuss and voice out their opinions on the current regional issues.
The focus of the discussion was on how to get stakeholders to collaborate with youth across the region. Meanwhile, Asean youth, themselves, are encouraged to better understand current issues including food security, inflation, climate change and many others.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660544567/unsigned/grh8oyug2xhktm73yfch.png" />
The youth's understanding of the issues around them can help the nations in so many ways. For example, youth participation in climate action activism can help their region's environmental performances.&nbsp;
There were also several youth-related forums conducted last year like Unicef East Asia and Pacific, the Asean Business Advisory Council, the EU-Asean Business Council and the United Nations Development Programme.
Other initiatives include Malaysia Youth Diplomacy (MyDiplomacy) that encourage youth involvement in Malaysia.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660544663/unsigned/vevj7xxerkqbqk6ff6yw.png" />
MyDiplomacy was convinced that Malaysia lacks youth-friendly and accessible platforms for the youth to better understand foreign diplomacy, policy and international affairs.
That is why they launched the "Merakyatkan Diplomasi" approach to strengthen the country's diplomatic circle and create diplomatic opportunities for Malaysian youths.
Relatively, all other youth engagement institutions, guided by the Asean Work Plan on Youth 2021-2025 vowed to provide more platforms for young people to learn and better understand the regional issues, and be more active in their involvement in the region's matters.
All of these movements and initiatives show how important it is for the governments and other related institutions, in giving a good amount of exposure for the youth to better understand the issues that are happening around them.

ASEAN Youth Should Familiarize Themselves With Regional Issues!

Some Malaysians may know that after sitting for UPSR exams and scoring good grades, they have the opportunity to head to boarding school as they are classified as some of the best schools to learn in Malaysia.
Despite that, its also common to hear bullying and harassment cases in these schools despite how strict it can be. Recently, a 14-year-old girl studying in a MARA Junior Science College (MRSM) in Kuantan had gained the attention of social media users after being harassed by an unknown person since June 2022 till now.
The unknown person had cut up her uniforms when it was outside to dry, scribbled on the bathroom walls and even wrote threatening notes to the girl. The worse part of it all was when someone had cut her hair while she as asleep.
The post was made by the girl&rsquo;s mother, Nazrah Mohamed that claimed that the institution management and wardens had not taken any action to solve the harassment issue.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fnazrah.mohamed%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02hdkVXLKTshFLEEQh5rHrMVSfBURP2jYpCDEJ6v38BjPfPptF6eVYBEGsCaKdevSWl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="704" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
The school had allegedly accused the daughter being the perpetrator when she had reported the incidents to them. It was also discovered that students staying within the same block are facing the same issue.
Sinar Hartian reported that Nazrah finds the situation highly unacceptable as no action was taken till today. If the issue continues, Nazrah will be taking legal action against MRSM.
Breakdown of the incident
The incident had first stated on Friday (17 June) where her daughter&rsquo;s blue uniform and a senior&rsquo;s batik shirt were hanging outside to dry and it had been scribbled on. A report was made and a roll call had happened to find the culprit but there was no luck finding out who did it.
Later on, Sunday (19 June) the sleeves of her daughter&rsquo;s yellow uniform had been cut off. The story was spread to the school seniors first as they attempted to investigate the incident first before reporting the issue to the warden.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660536491/unsigned/ugp5xqwqgslnflviidli.png" />
&nbsp;
Dissatisfied with the issue going on, Nazrah had phoned the chief warden for follow ups on the case but she found out that no one had reported the case to the chief warden. &nbsp;The chief warden then conducted a check with the students and informed that they were trying to solve the case on their own. That prompted a question by Nazrah wondering if it&rsquo;s normal for school students to investigate the matter instead of the school&rsquo;s administration.
Fast forwarding to 26 June, there had still been no follow ups on the case and this time her daughters blue school uniform and another students PJ clothing had been doodled on. That wasn&rsquo;t the only thing as on the same day, the bathroom walls of the institution had been scribbled on as well.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660536499/unsigned/vla9c5mdyclff2xglcl9.jpg" />
&nbsp;
The more sickening thing is that five wardens had called Nazrah&rsquo;s daughter and accused her of doing the pranks. It was also alleged that they had pressured her to admit to the acts.
Yeah, sounds like a boarding school incident to me&hellip; No surprise that this had happen as it's "common" in many boarding schools across Malaysia.
On 3 July, the slippers outside the dormitory were seen arranged in a snake-like pattern and scribbles were sotted on the bathroom door.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660536542/unsigned/ppk6e2xxxkqqsss0uqer.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Fed up with the incidents, Nazrah phones the student development (TPPP) for a follow up on the case. The schools vice principal had then sold Nazrah that they had sent her daughter for counselling and claimed that her daughter suffers from anxiety and high-stress levels. To add salt to the wound, the vice principal recommended the daughter to get psychiatric treatment.
That&rsquo;s pretty rude of the vice principal to assume such thing.
After consulting a psychiatrist, the doctor had given the green light stating that her daughter is healthy and fine and passed all the clinical interviews.
Further discussion set with the school&rsquo;s management
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660536558/unsigned/pvxponrcnsgrsvob2clw.webp" />
&nbsp;
Nazrah had set to meet the principal, vice principal, chief warden, school counsellor and another warden to discuss the issues and matters.
During the discussion the principal had admitted that the school had made a mistake. But Nazrah had pointed out that the statements from everyone were not consistent. Clearly displeased with the meeting outcome, Nazrah proceeded to lodge a police report against the school management and also filed a complaint with SISPAA under the Education Ministry.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660536587/unsigned/gkkpacyyxbe9dpq2earj.png" />
&nbsp;
On 7 August, the incident had gone a bit overboard as a group of seniors found give blue shirt totally cut up and later found give yellow school uniforms, including Nazrah&rsquo;s daughter&rsquo;s tudung had been cut up. On the same night, a Form 3 student had found a threat note addressed to Nazrah&rsquo;s daughter in their dorm.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660536605/unsigned/qjrnmzia6qmczp0okhne.png" />
&nbsp;
The worst incident had happened on 12 August when her daughter along with 2 other dormmate were left in shock as someone had cut their hair short while they were asleep.
Questions the institution and police
Up to this date, Nazrah had not received any update from the authorities nor the school. In her Facebook post, she brings up the question if MRSM will only start to take action only when a life is lost.
At the time of writing this article, there had been 16K likes, 21K comments and 40K shares over the incident. &nbsp;
The government has spoken up about the incident and assured that stern action, including expulsion, would be taken against the student who had conducted all these incidents. This won&rsquo;t be the first time that a student gets expelled from a MRSM over bullying as it&rsquo;s happened in Penang before.
Hopefully this case gets solved soon enough. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

Find Your TREASURE With emart24 x TREASURE Collaboration

Oh, the joy of travelling. We all know how excited we can get when it comes to getting away from the city and to sit back and relax.
But don&rsquo;t forget though, travelling can also get pretty hectic especially when you got to plan ahead going to the airport and ensuring you don&rsquo;t overpack.

Last but not least is your boarding pass, although we are going digital now, it&rsquo;s a good practice to always carry a physical copy of it! While we are at this, TikTok user Yin Fei (@feifei_04) had posted a video of him having a good laugh with the immigration officers while at an airport in Sabah.

In the video, we can see that he had whipped out an XXL sized boarding pass to present to the immigration officers. Not only were the officers amused but other passengers in the back can be seen laughing.
I mean I&rsquo;d be laughing too! Its not often you get to see something like this.
While entertained by the size of the boarding pass, the officers also took the chance to take a picture of him posing with the boarding pass. Thankfully the people behind them are laughing along if not I&rsquo;m sure no one would like to be waiting around just to get onto a flight.
Netizens found the video just as amusing
Since the upload of the video, it&rsquo;s gained up to 1.4 million views and 138,400 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. Netizens all around had took to the comment section to commend Yin Fei for making the officers day.
Here are some of the comments:

If you ever want a good practical joke to pull on your friends, I guess this is the best one. Though it might be cheaper for you to print a normal boarding pass instead of a giant one.

Immigration Officers & Travellers Amused After Man Shows Up With Huge Boarding Pass

Does the price of USD$7.99 (RM35.53) ring any bells? Perhaps not for us in Southeast Asia, but for our friends over in the US, this is the price customers are currently paying for their ad-free Disney+ subscription plan.
Sadly though, all the pricing will change by the end of this year, with the streaming service just announcing the launch of <a href="https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/ad-supported-disney-subscription-tier-to-launch-december-8-in-the-u-s/">Disney+&rsquo;s latest ad-supported subscription tier</a> which will debut on December 8, 2022.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660195371/unsigned/ve1vozhcbfxorfwpi5yp.gif" alt="" width="512" height="288" />
Okay, that doesn&rsquo;t sound too bad. Well, that is actually bad news for US consumers, as they now need to pay more money to watch Disney+ without the annoying commercials. Ugh!
Starting from December 2022, the previous ad-free subscription plan of USD $7.99 will have an increase of USD $3 going to USD$10.99 per month (RM 48.87).
The price tag of USD $7.99/month will still be available on the streaming service however, consumers will be forced to watch their favourite shows and movies with running ads.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660195440/unsigned/dvcs51g6ku83sayjjdkq.gif" alt="" width="523" height="392" />
Why Is Disney+ Increasing The Prices?
First things first: building a successful streaming service is extremely costly.
Companies like Disney+ is just one amongst many who are currently spending billions of cash to appeal and attract both old and new subscribers.&nbsp; Providing fresh content and raising the prices of the subscription plans is just one simple way to help raise the overall company revenue, and with the amount of content that Disney has to offer, consumers will most likely be willing to spend some extra cash.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660195527/unsigned/u8tbt7wv8x6o5vuvjzsi.webp" alt="" width="540" height="440" />
&ldquo;With our new ad-supported Disney+ offering, and an expanded lineup of plans across our entire streaming portfolio, we will be providing greater consumer choice at a variety of price points to cater to the diverse needs of our viewers and appeal to an even broader audience,&rdquo; said Kareem Daniel, Chairman of Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution. &ldquo;Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ feature unparalleled content and viewing experiences and offer the best value in streaming today, with over 100,000 movie titles, TV episodes, original shows, sports, and live events collectively.&rdquo;
Disney+ Hotstar Malaysia
Walt Disney Company in association with Astro, the country&rsquo;s leading TV platform, launched Disney Plus Hotstar in Malaysia on June 1, with both local and international content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1660195610/unsigned/oeztfdigbmtodwcnrsfn.webp" alt="" width="591" height="406" />
As for Malaysian Disney+ lovers, you do not need to worry as current prices are still normal. Pheww.
Direct subscribers can still access the service for <a href="https://www.hotstar.com/my/subscribe/get-started">RM54.90 for three months</a>, while <a href="https://product.astro.com.my/apps/disney">Astro</a> offers a variety of package deals, with an add-on of RM5 per month for existing subscribers of the Astro Movies pack.
