    I Am A Victim Of Fake News, Cyberbullies, Says Rosmah Mansor, Wife Of PM Najib Razak

    I have been a victim of fake news and cyberbullying, says Rosmah Mansor, wife of Prime Minister Najib Razak.

    “There have been a few Facebook account created in my name when I actually don’t have any social media accounts and am not good at social media.

    “I don’t even have a smartphone,” said Rosmah at a seminar on cybercrime at Royale Chulan Hotel in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon.

    She said those who spread fake news aimed to create conflict and discord in Malaysia.

    As the country moved towards becoming a “thinking society”, she said Malaysians must be more discerning and not to be influenced by those who use social media to confuse and poison minds.

    On cyberbullying, she said an estimated one in four children daily experienced cyber bullying, which could cause emotional stress and  anger, fear, anxiety, and depression.

    She added adults, including highly educated professionals, were also vulnerable to cyberbullying.

    “Due to the fear of shame, many are afraid to come forward,” said Rosmah.

    Between January and June, 379 cases of cyber harassment were reported, according to statistics from CyberSecurity Malaysia, an agency under the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry.

    The National Council of Women’s Organisations Malaysia (NCWO) and CyberSecurity Malaysia organised the one-day CyberSafe seminar todayl to raise awareness of security, particularly of children and women, on the internet.

    The seminar is a follow-up to the National Seminar on Sexual Offences Against Children at Putra World Trade Centre in March.

    The March seminar had discussed the increasingly common use of smartphones, computers, the Internet and social media applications for sexual grooming and child pornography.

    The Dewan Rakyat passed the Sexual Offences Against Children Bill in April to better protect children against sexual abuse.

    The law came into force in July,

    Topics addressed in the seminar today included internet addiction, laws and policy responses to cyber crimes, and psychological and social perspectives of cyber crimes.

    Speakers were experts from the police, the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia, Attorney-General’s Chambers, and criminologists, among others.

    Also present were Women, Family and Community Development Minister Rohani Karim, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Azalina Othman Said, Deputy Education Minister I P. Kamalanathan, NCWO Dr Sharifah Hapsah and CyberSecurity Malaysia chief executive officer CyberSecurity Malaysia. – October 22, 2017.

  • Meet Ghostbuster Sa’ad Ja’afar, A 44yo Self-Proclaimed Hantu Hunter Offering Long-Range Ghostbusting Services

    Meet Ghostbuster Sa’ad Ja’afar, A 44yo Self-Proclaimed Hantu Hunter Offering Long-Range Ghostbusting Services

    If there are spooky apparitions in your neighbourhood, who do you call? You call ghostbuster Sa’ad Ja’afar apparently.

    The 44-year-old self-proclaimed hantu hunter will end the hauntings … and from afar.

    All it takes is a phone call and no matter the distance, he will work on it.

    Sa’ad said he can reach anywhere in the world from his centre here, to get rid of ghosts or end hauntings but the furthest he has done so thus far is Sabah – “I caught a jinn (an evil spirit) there”.

    “I don’t need to be physically present to help those who need my services to rid their premises of the supernatural,” said the ghostbuster who hails from Melaka.

    He claims his centre – Rawatan iLahana – is the “first in the world” to offer long-range ghostbusting services.

    Assisted by Mohd Azim Adam, 46, Sa’ad started the centre in 2015 and claims to have cleansed some 300 locations nationwide to date. Among his satisfied clients, he counts 70 of different faiths.

    In that time, he and his assistant caught a large number of jinn, which he said have been imprisoned at a secret location near a mosque.

    “We keep them near a mosque so that they will be encouraged to repent for their sins,” he said.

    It’s RM200 for a two-hour session but customers can pay according to their means, he said.

    According to Sa’ad, the conventional way of fighting jinn and ghouls is to use black pepper and rock salt, “but these only scare them away”.

    He said jungles, mountains, waterfalls, lakes and rivers are favourite haunts for such spirits.

  • Haram For Muslims To Get Haircut From Non-Muslims, Says Religious Teacher

    Haram For Muslims To Get Haircut From Non-Muslims, Says Religious Teacher

    A RELIGIOUS teacher, who previously courted controversy by urging Muslims to boycott curry powder made by Hindus, says it is haram for Muslims to receive a haircut from non-Muslims.

    Ustaz Shahul Hamid Seeni Muhammad, headmaster of Maahad Tahfiz Darul Tahzhib, said in a video uploaded two years ago, which has since gone viral, that getting a haircut from non-Muslims was haram.

    “From the time I started studying in a pondok school to Form 1 and up until now, I have not allowed any non-believers to touch my head. It is better for us to go to Muslim shops because at least this way, we can help Muslim businesses,” Shahul Hamid said.

    Three years ago, also through a video a clip that went viral, Shahul Hamid urged Muslims not to buy curry powder products from “Hindu” companies like Baba’s and Alagappa’s. He also poked fun at a dishti bomma, a square metal plate with the face of a “fearsome demon” on it, at the entrance of the Alagappa’s flour mill near Permatang Pauh.

    In the haircut video clip, which has been viewed more than 9,000 times, Shahul Hamid also said it was haram for Muslim women to go to a non-Muslim salon, as a woman’s hair was considered aurat and should not be exposed to non-Muslims, even if they are women.

    Shahul Hamid also made a jab at transgenders working at salons by mimicking their voices, which he said sounded like frogs.

    Shahul Hamid, who has uploaded a series of video clips on YouTube, also said it was haram to send Muslim children to Chinese schools, unless there were no other options.

    “But when your child comes back, he must be taught properly. Why? Because Chinese children don’t follow the Islamic way of life.”

    He said it was also haram to wish Happy Birthday or Sanah Helwah in Arabic and that Muslims should use “assalamualaikum” when answering calls instead of “hello” and “goodbye”.
