    [Malaysia] Shell To Remove Cardboard Model Standees After Perverts ‘Molest’ Them In Viral Photos

    Oil giant Shell today said today it will be removing all standees modelled by one of its Malay Muslim woman employees following viral images of the men in suggestive poses with her cardboard cut-out.

    Shell also advised the public against further sharing such images which it termed as “distasteful”.

    “We are aware that pictures of several individuals photographed engaging in distasteful and suggestive acts with a promotional standee at our retail stations are circulating online.

    “We do not condone this disrespectful act, which is completely against the culture of Malaysians and Shell’s core values. We urge netizens and members of the public to refrain from sharing these images further.

    “The standee will be removed from all our sites with immediate effect,” it said in a statement.

    Several photos that have been making the rounds on social media showed men holding hands with the cut-out, kissing its cheek, and even grabbing at the breast.

    The model pictured in the Shell promotional standee, Nor Shafila Khairusalleh, 25, was reported saying yesterday that she was perturbed by men “molesting” her likeness.

    The petrol station supervisor told mStar Online that she could accept men who posed kissing or hugging her likeness, but not if they went overboard as it would be akin to sexual harassment.

    “They may just be joking, but I feel ashamed because that is still myself although it is just an image,” she was quoted saying.

    Nor Shafila was also reported that her husband was distressed seeing men “molest” his wife’s image, but that he remains an understanding partner.

  • Zainal Sapari Reached Out To Lee Siblings Through Pantun, Tells Them Blood Thicker Than Water, Family More Important Than Money

    Zainal Sapari Reached Out To Lee Siblings Through Pantun, Tells Them Blood Thicker Than Water, Family More Important Than Money

    As the debate continued into its second day in Parliament, PAP MP Zainal Sapari, a former teacher, used a very Malay way to impart some valuable advice to the Lee siblings.

    In the pantun, Zainal Sapari reminded them that your worldly possessions cannot be taken with you when you pass away. It was not worth risking family ties because of the riches.

    Wang hilang boleh diganti
    Harta ada tak dibawa mati
    Jangan kesal kemudian hari
    Bila ikatan keluarga tidak ada lagi

    Ibubapa hidup berdamai
    Banyak berkorban setiap hari
    Adik beradik jangan bercerai
    Biar kasih sayang bersimpul mati

    #38OxleyRoad

    Very the Malay but very the spot on. Blood is thicker than water, your family is more important than your money.

  • [Malaysia] Polytechnic Stallholder In Penang Allegedly Told To Convert To Islam If He Wanted To Continue With The Stall

    [Malaysia] Polytechnic Stallholder In Penang Allegedly Told To Convert To Islam If He Wanted To Continue With The Stall

    Gopi Krishnan Gopal, who operated a stall in Politeknik Seberang Perai (PSP), Penang, has now claimed that he was told to convert to Islam if he wanted to continue running his business.

    The 45-year-old former engineer claimed that the PSP head of administration, who allegedly told him and his wife, Khor Hong Geik, to convert, has since retired.

    Gopi Krishnan also claimed to have received calls from various quarters, including a government officer from Putrajaya, who told him to “keep things quiet” as there were efforts to get his stall reinstated.

    “I told the officer to raise the issue with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s department and to ask the PM to ensure that all polytechnics in the country have a canteen operator to provide food for non-Muslims, especially vegetarians.

    “We are not asking for a temple to be built in the polytechnic, just a stall to serve non-Muslims, some who are vegetarian due to religious reasons,” he said, adding that he served 1,200 non-Muslims students in PSP.

    Gopi Krishnan (second on left in photo) would be lodging a police report on the matter and is also mulling legal action against the polytechnic.

    Accompanying him at the press conference were Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy and lawyers Paramjit Singh and Shamsher Thind Singh.

    Malaysiakini is in the process of contacting the polytechnic and Deputy Education Minister P Kamalanathan on the latest allegation.

    Previously, Kamalanthan said the canteen operator was terminated from PSP due to “administrative reasons”. The deputy minister denied it had anything to do with racial or religious extremism.

    The polytechnic has also denied allegations of racism, adding that a police report was lodged on June 26 on the contents of messages on the matter that went viral.

    It is learnt that some 300 students have signed a petition, calling on the institution to reinstate the canteen operator, while several quarters have condemned PSP for its handling of a non-Muslim canteen operator.

    Gopi Krishnan had been operating his canteen in PSP since September last year but was told to fold up his business by June 30, which is tomorrow.

    He failed to obtain the permit for his stall despite meeting all the conditions stated in an open tender, which PSP held in May.

    Gopi Krishnan was the only non-Muslim among 12 operators who participated in the open tender.

    He was later told by the same head of administration, who allegedly told him to convert to Islam, that he was unable to fulfil the ISO syariah procedures.

    Ramasamy said the syariah compliance procedure was something new and surprising.

    “Why should a non-Muslim trader be subjected to this law? Are there requirements that in public institutions built with taxpayers’ money, both Muslims and non-Muslims, must practice syariah?

    “Gopi Krishnan is clearly a victim of racial and religious intolerance in public institutions,” he said.

    Ramasamy called on Kamalanathan, who is also MIC education bureau chief, and the entire PSP management, to resign.

    “Jubah Sado” Dah Basi, “Jubah Mermaid” Is In

    Jika tahun lalu kita dikejutkan dengan “Jubah Sado” dan juga “kurta lelaki seperti baju kurung wanita”, tahun ini satu lagi pakaian Hari Raya mungkin menarik perhatian anda!

    Nama jubah terbaru ini ialah “Jubah Ala Duyung”! Ia sedang viral di laman media sosial dan dipakai seorang lelaki yang hanya dikenali sebagai Alif. Jubah Duyung ini bagaimanapun menerima kritikan hebat para netizen.

    Ramai juga yang memberikan komen lucu, seperti: “Alahai, kain dia lagi lentik daripada kain saya!”

    Namun yang memberikan kata-kata kesat juga tidak kurang hebatnya.

    Menyusuli kejadian itu, laporan mStar Online menyatakan Alif memutuskan untuk bersikap mengalah dan menukar enam lagi jubah yang ditempahnya kepada potongan biasa.

    Ini selepas beliau mengambil kira teguran positif dan nasihat anggota keluarga dan juga orang ramai.

    “Tidak sangka jubah yang dipakai semasa raya itu menjadi viral di media sosial sehingga saya dikecam.

    “Ada enam lagi jubah yang dihantar untuk dijahit tetapi belum siap, jadi saya akan minta pereka untuk menukarnya kepada potongan biasa selepas menerima teguran positif dan mengelak saya terus dikecam,” katanya kepada mStar Online.

    KATA-KATA KESAT DILEMPARKAN KEPADA ANGGOTA KELUARGA JUGA

    Selepas gambar “Jubah Ala Duyung” beliau menjadi viral, Alif menerima kecaman netizen yang keterlaluan sehingga mengaitkan keluarganya.

    “Isu jubah ini adalah masalah saya sendiri, tapi ada yang keterlaluan mengatakan saya kurang didikan agama daripada keluarga. Malah, lebih buruk ada yang menyamakan saya dengan haiwan. Bagaimana perasaan keluarga saya?

    “Kalau nak tegur, buatlah secara baik. Jangan sampai mengaitkan keluarga saya dengan kata-kata yang buruk,” kata anak bongsu daripada 10 adik-beradik ini, sebagaimana ditukil mStar.

    Alif juga memberitahu bahawa sejak itu ramai melabelkannya dengan pelbagai gelaran termasuk lelaki lembut dan transgender.

    “Saya akur berperwatakan lembut tetapi saya tidak berpakaian wanita. Saya masih bekerja dan berpakaian seperti lelaki.

    “Saya bukanlah manusia yang sempurna, saya masih lagi memperbaiki diri. Anda semua di luar sana, doakan saya yang baik-baik saja,” jelas beliau lagi dalam laporan mStar Online itu.

    I hope you’re ashamed of yourself, making jokes out of grab drivers.

    They’re just trying to make a living. He made my boy drive to the cemetery at this timing, choosing cash as payment mode.

    I’m so pissed.
