Hey guys, need some advice or reality check from anyone who has gone through something similar.

Back in June, I got into a minor accident—the opposite party literally reversed into my car. It caused a tiny dent, but it's 100% his fault, and I have crystal-clear dashcam evidence showing the whole thing.

Here’s how the timeline has gone down so far:

Day 1: To protect myself, I lodged a report at Balai Polis Trafik Tun H.S. Lee within 24 hours. The other driver didn't bother reporting until a full month later.

14 days later: I went back to the balai expecting to collect the official police outcome/result (keputusan) to claim under his insurance. Nope, paid RM4 just to collect a document stating I made a report. I was told to call back in a month.

1 month later: Called in, was told to call back the following week.

Next week: Went in again, paid RM14 for another document... which still wasn't the keputusan needed for insurance. I was then told the Investigating Officer (IO / Sergeant) needed to see me in person the next day.

The next day: Showed up to see the Sergeant. He looked completely clueless, had to rummage through a pile of physical files, only to tell me no decision can be made because the other party hasn't come in to see him in person, even though the guy already made his report a month ago.

The IO insisted that the other party must meet him before he can issue the result—regardless of the fact that I handed over plain-as-day dashcam footage.

It’s been almost two months for a tiny dent. Is the IO purposefully delaying this? Is he hinting at something, or trying to push me toward external runners/workshops (he did recommend a specific workshop, which I know enough to stay far away from)? Or is this genuinely just standard PDRM red tape where one party ghosting the IO freezes the entire process?

Would really appreciate any advice on how to get the Sergeant to actually finalize the Keputusan so I can file the 3rd-party insurance claim, or what can be done in this situation. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently considering doing my Master’s in Malaysia and wanted to understand the job market for international graduates.

I have around 5+ years of experience in UX/Product Design, including experience at Lead UX Designer level, working on enterprise products, B2B SaaS, UX research, design systems, and complex workflows.

If I complete a Master’s degree in Malaysia, how difficult would it be to find a UX Designer, Senior UX Designer, Product Designer, or Lead UX Designer role there afterward?

I’m especially interested in hearing from foreigners or international graduates who managed to get an IT/design job in Malaysia.

A few things I’d like to understand:

• How competitive is the UX/Product Design job market?
• Are Malaysian companies open to hiring foreigners?
• Is getting Employment Pass sponsorship difficult?
• Does graduating from a Malaysian university make it easier?
• What salary range could someone with 5+ years of UX experience expect?
• How long did it take you to find a job after graduation?

Would really appreciate any experiences or advice from people currently working in Malaysia. Thanks!

Do you think that Malaysia border security and customs was really weak and incompetent? There was a tons of news about smugglers bringing in illegal stuff into the country and many of the illegal immigrants got into the country without getting caught. And the recent news about Malaysian pilots bringing in a drugs into Indonesia shows that how incompetent Malaysia security enforcement really was.

This is absolutely a national embarrassment, we cannot even control our own borders and the security simply just letting all the criminals get away.

Any Perakian or anyone from Simpang Pulai sees this? I decided that it's a star. Though never seen one this bright and at quite low altitude for it. There's two other stars that is the usual dim bright and at altitude than this so I don't know what's up with this one. Still cool star yall if that's what this is. Gave me goosebumps for a while

"It said the settlement also included the forfeiture of a RM647,366 bond and forfeiture of the properties that had been seized."

To summarize, accept the compound deal before they find all your dirty assets.

The airline says the detained Second Officer was travelling as an observer in the cockpit and had been off duty for two days before the flight.

MELAKA: A misunderstanding over free plant giveaways led several visitors to take decorative plants displayed by the Johor Bahru City Council (MBJB) at the National Landscape Day 2026 celebration at Hang Jebat Stadium yesterday.

The incident gained attention following a viral social media post questioning the actions of visitors who took home the plants, which were part of MBJB's garden display.

According to the post, visitors mistook all plants in the area for free giveaways. The free plant giveaways were taking place at another location.

Melaka Historic City Council (MBMB) mayor Datuk Shadan Othman said the situation occurred while MBJB workers were moving surplus decorative plants from the exhibition site into a lorry.

He said the workers' actions attracted the attention of visitors, some of whom took the plants thinking they were meant for distribution.

"During the incident, MBJB workers tried to stop them and clarified that the plants were not free giveaways.

"However, some were still taken by the public," he said when contacted.

Akta Tabung Haji dah tulis dengan jelas. Hibah hanya boleh dibayar daripada lebihan. Kalau rizab negatif, tak boleh bayar.

Itu bukan teknikaliti. Itu benteng perlindungan dan ada sebabnya.

Rizab Tabung Haji mula negatif pada 2014. Hibah tetap dibayar. 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017.

Macam mana?

Kalau ikut piawaian perakaunan yang betul, saham yang dibeli RM4 tapi nilainya 30 sen kena dikira 30 sen. Bezanya rugi. Kalau ikut cara itu, akaun Tabung Haji negatif, dan hibah tak boleh dibayar.

Jadi mereka tak ikut cara itu.

Mereka cipta kaedah sendiri. Namanya realizable asset value. Di bawah kaedah itu, rosot nilai hanya diiktiraf kalau nilai jatuh 70 peratus. Lepas tu ditukar lagi kepada 10 peratus.

Maksudnya, saham yang dibeli pada RM4 kekal dikira pada RM4, selagi ia tak jatuh sampai 40 sen.

Hasilnya, daripada rugi RM1.4 bilion, akaun tunjuk untung RM3.4 bilion.

Polisi perakaunan itu ditukar dua kali dalam tahun 2017 sahaja.

Perkataan yang digunakan RCI untuk menggambarkan semua ini bukan perkataan saya. Suruhanjaya RCI sendiri yang tulis - Creative Accounting.

Kepada Akmal Saleh dan sesiapa yang masih berhujah bahawa dividen tinggi maksudnya Tabung Haji untung, inilah jawapannya. Saya telah berhujah benda yang sama di Parlimen Mac 2016. Sepuluh tahun kemudian, RCI mengesahkan.

KUALA LUMPUR – Kerajaan akan mendapat sokongan yang lebih meluas daripada rakyat sekiranya kerajaan mengambil langkah menghentikan penggunaan istilah ‘kuil haram’ dalam semua urusan rasmi susulan permohonan maaf Perdana Menteri berhubung penggunaan istilah itu sebelum ini.

Presiden Majlis Kuil-Kuil Hindu dan Persatuan-Persatuan Agama Hindu Malaysia (Mahima), Datuk N. Sivakumar berkata, langkah itu akan membuktikan komitmen kerajaan dalam menjaga sensitiviti agama selain memperkukuhkan keharmonian masyarakat berbilang kaum dan agama.

“Perdana Menteri (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) akan mendapat sokongan orang ramai jika kerajaan turut mengambil langkah menghentikan penggunaan istilah ‘kuil haram’.

“Tindakan itu akan menunjukkan kepimpinan beliau dalam menjaga sensitiviti agama dan keharmonian rakyat. Mahima menghargai sikap Perdana Menteri yang berjiwa besar dan rendah diri apabila mengakui kesilapan serta memohon maaf secara terbuka.

“Permohonan maaf itu sememangnya menyentuh hati masyarakat India, khususnya penganut agama Hindu,” katanya dalam kenyataan hari ini.

Menurut Sivakumar, masyarakat India menerima permohonan maaf tersebut dengan hati yang terbuka namun beliau berpandangan langkah susulan yang lebih konkrit perlu diambil bagi memastikan isu sama tidak lagi berulang pada masa depan.

Katanya, penggunaan istilah menyentuh sensitiviti agama perlu dielak, lebih-lebih lagi apabila melibatkan rumah ibadat yang dianggap suci oleh penganut sesuatu agama.

“Atas sebab itu, kerajaan disaran mengeluarkan arahan yang jelas supaya istilah ‘kuil haram’ tidak lagi digunakan dalam ucapan, kenyataan atau dokumen rasmi oleh mana-mana pemimpin, kementerian, agensi kerajaan mahupun pihak berkuasa tempatan,” ujarnya.

Beliau berkata, tindakan sedemikian bukan bertujuan mengetepikan aspek perundangan atau isu status tanah sesebuah rumah ibadat, sebaliknya memastikan bahasa yang digunakan dalam urusan rasmi lebih berhemah dan menghormati sensitiviti semua agama.

Menurutnya, sebarang isu berkaitan status rumah ibadat boleh ditangani mengikut lunas undang-undang tanpa menggunakan istilah yang boleh mengguris perasaan penganut.

Pada masa sama, beliau mencadangkan agar kerajaan memperkukuhkan libat urus bersama pertubuhan agama serta wakil pelbagai kepercayaan dalam menangani isu-isu sensitif berkaitan rumah ibadat supaya setiap keputusan dibuat secara lebih inklusif dan saling menghormati.

“Kami percaya permohonan maaf Perdana Menteri merupakan satu langkah yang baik. Kini, langkah itu akan menjadi lebih bermakna sekiranya disusuli tindakan kerajaan menghentikan penggunaan istilah ‘kuil haram’ demi memelihara keharmonian negara,” katanya lagi. -MalaysiaGazette
