Eviction Notice

When living in the busy city, we can&rsquo;t help to think that we need more greenery within the city. When you look at most major cities, there&rsquo;s at least either one large section of green such as Central Park in New York City or even a park within the city such as the Lake Gardens Park or Taman Tugu right here in KL.

&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re one to go outdoors a lot or perhaps go to Bangsar often, you may have seen a place called Kebun-Kebun Bangsar which is a community garden within the city. It&rsquo;s situated along Lorong Bukit Pantai, Bangsar, where there&rsquo;s Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) electric pylons.
In fact, Kebun-Kebun Bangsar is violating their temporary occupancy license (TOL) for their nursery purpose as they had just been slapped with an eviction notice by the Federal Territory office of the department of the director-general of lands and mines (JKPTG).
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656578364/unsigned/jcbtiwnmdssyq2cpytjh.jpg" />
&nbsp;
The post was shared via their Instagram page where the notice was dated 23 June 2022 where they are in violation of Section 425 (1) of the National Land Code for using land located underneath high-voltage power lines owned and maintained by TNB without permission.
The violation states that they can be fined RM500,000 and jailed for five years if they fail to comply and remove all structures on the property. Additionally, the office states that they will not be entertaining any appeals after sending out the notice.
Violation of terms of license
Malay Mail reported that the office stands by the decision to evict the garden after violating the TOL. According to Datuk Muhammad Yasir from JKPTG, the office does encourage the gardening efforts but they are still required to abide by stipulated conditions.
&ldquo;Conditions for approved nurseries include the types of crops and no permanent structures are allowed under power lines, according to technical specifications from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB),&rdquo; said Yasir.
The eviction notice also comes by written and verbal complaints submitted by the residents of the area due to the garden rearing live stock within the property. The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) had ordered the garden to remove the animals back in 2020 as the chickens, ducks and sheep within the property had caused the to be full of flies, noise disturbances from the animals as well as odour pollution within the housing area.
Hopes for Kebun-Kebun Bangsar to continue on running
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656578387/unsigned/ax4j01ru9be3foi6he40.webp" />
&nbsp;
62-year-old Ng Sek San who founded the community garden had thanked all of those who helped maintained the garden which was backed by the DBKL on a two-year license. &nbsp;However, he failed to realise that the city did not extend their license beyond 2018 and only came to know about it when they received the eviction notice.
Although several letters of appeal were submitted to the relevant authorities, there had been no avail. Even 19 out of 20 of the residents who live adjacent to the garden had supported them.
&ldquo;Every week, thousands come to our farm to acquaint themselves with nature. We want to be left alone to do our work peacefully. It must be protected and safeguarded by everyone, including City Hall and the other authorities.&rdquo; he said.
Farm praised by Prime Minister
Just recently before the eviction notice, Prime Minister Dato&rsquo; Sri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had praised the farm as fruits, vegetable and flowers have been harvested from the land and been distributed to those in need within the community as well as soup kitchens.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Saya berharap komitmen kerajaan terhadap agenda hijau dapat disemai di semua peringkat untuk generasi masa depan Keluarga Malaysia.
&mdash; Ismail Sabri (@IsmailSabri60) <a href="https://twitter.com/IsmailSabri60/status/1533427316658909184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 5, 2022</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
Additionally, the garden within the city had played a role to educate society on the effects of climate change.
Following the eviction threat, Ng fears that future volunteers will be driven away and it will be harder to maintain the garden if they are able to continue so.
It&rsquo;s hard to come by good things in life and sometimes I question, why can&rsquo;t authorities give a bit of slack and also talk it out with those occupying the land. At least they didn&rsquo;t build a full-on building on the property as a garden which helps supply the community is much more beneficial. 
I guess we&rsquo;ll have to wait and see what will happen to the garden but let&rsquo;s hope it&rsquo;s here to stay.

The garden owner didn’t know that their occupancy license was not renewed until he got the eviction notice.

"Praised By The PM Yesterday, Asked To Leave Today" Kebun-Kebun Bangsar Given Eviction Notices

Ever since the fall of the economy, more people started to work in the p-hailing services to survive. And now the economy is not fully recovered yet, there are still people who are struggling to buy a single meal.
Transport Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong took an initiative to help these people by lowering the age limit for vocational license for p-hailing services to 18.
Despite the criticism he received, he ensures that more people will be welcomed to join the gig economy with this proposal.
<img src="https://media.thestar.com.my/Prod/588B4437-5D08-487A-9926-A3A55A86B924" alt="Six-year-old video of Wee Ka Siong being circulated | The Star" />
Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said: "Keluarga Malaysia are allowed to work as p-hailing riders when they acquire a competency license in the motorcycle class (B2).
"They will then be able to obtain a vocational license for the sole purpose of working.
"These are proposed amendments to Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board Act 1987 and Land Public Transport Act 2010 which will be debated in the next parliamentary session."
The Transport Minister said that he heard all the questions and concerns from the people.
<img src="https://images.yourstory.com/cs/2/f49f80307d7911eaa66f3b309d9a28f5/Imagerd7x-1657718866312.jpg?fm=auto&amp;ar=2:1&amp;mode=crop&amp;crop=faces" alt="YourStory | gig economy" />
However, he urges people to look at the current state of Malaysia. Food delivery services can be someone&rsquo;s main source of income, even in rural areas.
With this proposal, those who finished school would be able to work right after, as long as they have the least of the Motorcycle Competency License (B2) and the Goods Driving License (GDL).
This is where the problem chimed in. Despite the urges from the p-hailing drivers to cancel the GDL requirement, transport minister firmly said that:
"GDL is important to ensure that riders will attend the driving course. We want them to work in a safe environment and obey all traffic rules.
"This is why we need to regulate the responsibility of the delivery riders to avoid unwanted problems and finger pointing if it happens,"
But it left people with more rage:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Could suggest to <a href="https://twitter.com/weekasiongmp?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@weekasiongmp</a> to start a licensing requirement for MPs and Cabinet to ensure hare brains don't qualify.

Some say that it is indeed a good move to ensure the safety of the riders, however, the fee required has to be reasonable too:

Government To Lower The Age Limit For Vocational License To 18 Causes Rage

Nothing can get your blood boiling up such as a traffic jam. Imagine just sitting in the car in traffic for a couple of hours just to cover a short distance.
<img src="https://media4.giphy.com/media/3o7qE3a5YpLpCdeq0U/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611eeedb5be4409c46e5d3f5d2b990d647d502af13e&amp;rid=giphy.gif&amp;ct=g" alt="Angry Traffic Jam GIF by Monstercat" />
&nbsp;
While in traffic, it is not uncommon for us to run into a rude and inconsiderate driver on the road. From those who flip you off for cutting lanes or not giving enough space and to those who use the emergency lane to breeze through the traffic.
This time around we bring a story coming from Singapore&rsquo;s Tuas Second Link. The last time we went on social media, a Singaporean woman and her son made headlines after being caught on camera for road rage and cutting the line to the queue.
<img src="https://static.mothership.sg/1/2022/07/ezgif.com-gif-maker-22.gif" />
&nbsp;

Now, we have a Honda driver who bizarrely waved his passport out the window while cutting into another driver&rsquo;s queue at the Tuas Second Link on Aug 6.
The dashcam footage was posted by Facebook user Joanna Loh. She had <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AhQii97/posts/pfbid02FG9dcR72ja8hq9TkEhA1rMAWmXA5jt3MLfksUW9SrDq3NtLvi84SicFqqYBG4TSxl">shared</a> that she and her sister had drove over to the Tuas Checkpoint at 7am and only got to customs at 8am. Unfortunately, they had then found themselves in a 4-hour long traffic jam due to the long National Day weekend in Singapore.
Honda driver causes a scene
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FAhQii97%2Fvideos%2F1018172958853452%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="560" height="314" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
According to the time stamp on the dashcam, the footage showed that the incident happened at 12:38pm where the black Honda which had a Malaysian license plate cutting her from the left lane.
The driver had stuck his head out of his window and stared at both Loh and her sister. Loh also says she was not in the wrong as the driver had not used his signal light and added that if he were to do so, she would have been more than willing to give him way.
The driver had later closed his window, making Loh and her sister think that he&rsquo;s done raging after they had not allowed him to cut the queue. Oddly enough, he later had &ldquo;flexed&rdquo; at them by waiving his Malaysian passport.
<img src="https://static.mothership.sg/1/2022/08/ezgif.com-gif-maker1-1.gif" />
Loh had wrote that she was unsure why the driver had the need to show off his passport but assumed it due to her driving a Singapore-registered car.
&ldquo;We are also Malaysians! Just because we drive a Singapore-registered car doesn&rsquo;t mean we are Singaporeans nor are we to be bullied by you. Is a Malaysian passport your trump card? As Malaysians, we are deeply ashamed by your behaviour,&rdquo; she wrote.
Oh, that&rsquo;s not the end of it, while in traffic, the man had later got out of his car and pointed at his license place showing off the registry to be from Johor.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FAhQii97%2Fvideos%2F379215437628681%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="560" height="314" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&nbsp;
After giving the two a thumbs up, the driver returned to his vehicle and continued to crawl in traffic. Thankfully no other incidents had happened along the way as it could have gotten worse.
Netizens amused and frustrated over the situation
Since sharing the post, it has garnered 2.5K reactions, 2K comments and 3.7K shares at the time of writing this.
With no surprise, the driver of the Honda was condemned for his behaviour for acting like a road bully.
Here are some of the comments:
&ldquo;He&rsquo;ll soon end up like the red car lady&rdquo;
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1659939922/unsigned/kifj5oevnlocihgrafx5.png" /> 
&ldquo;So this is how the Malaysian passport is used&rdquo;
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1659939933/unsigned/d6ohxp6cmkhqnj1k7zca.png" /> 
&ldquo;Who said Singapore&rsquo;s passport is the best? Malaysia&rsquo;s is more powerful; you can cut queue wherever you go&rdquo;
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1659939949/unsigned/fdxaesfo8ku9fdklmdxj.png" />
&nbsp;
And just when you thought it was bad enough that a Malaysian is bullying other Malaysians, one netizen even joked about placing a bet on the Honda driver&rsquo;s license plate.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1659939980/unsigned/xsoi60nbuly9xxtdjjyw.png" />
&nbsp;
Well Malaysians, there are some lessons that can be learnt here.
Lesson 1: Always use your signal lights when you want to cut lanes. 
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1659940020/unsigned/utg8m4gma2o6taqnyvq4.jpg" />
&nbsp;
Lesson 2: Be more considerate to other drivers out there.
Remember one thing, we live in the age where social media is one of if not the most powerful tool out there. Once you&rsquo;re out there, there&rsquo;s no going back.

#RoadRage: M’sian Man Flashes Passport To Cut Queue At SG’s Tuas Second Link

If you live in the heart of Kuala Lumpur or even Petaling Jaya, you know for a fact that many of us Malaysians drive every day. Despite having public transportation, many of us tend to agree that it&rsquo;s better to drive to your destination as it can be slightly more cost effective and faster than public transport.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1659928275/unsigned/vj8agc89z2hjyrmuqe59.jpg" />
&nbsp;
But if there&rsquo;s one thing no one wants to experience when driving is to be involved in an accident or more specifically, a car crash. When a car crash happens, we all know that most of the time, our air bags are meant to deploy and they can help reduce the chances of our upper body or even head to strike any of the interior parts of the vehicle.
<img src="https://www.gizmodo.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/17/icw9nlwsqjg6ixm5hmhs.gif" />
&nbsp;
Recently, a netizen took to Twitter to complain about the airbags on a Proton X70 which did not deploy after being involved in a crash.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
X70 accident, lepastu airbag tak function. Quality apoooo Proton???? <a href="https://t.co/wRc42CfGkA">pic.twitter.com/wRc42CfGkA</a>
&mdash; Anaz. iDevice repair 📱 (@annazrulan) <a href="https://twitter.com/annazrulan/status/1555194033076830209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 4, 2022</a></blockquote>
Due to the incident, many had raised questions about the quality of the car as it&rsquo;s still relatively new in the market. To be fair, the Proton X70 is one of the only Proton cars that is being imported from overseas. In 2019, the car was assembled in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China and was only brought for local assembly in Tanjung Malim in 2020. Currently, the car is also assembled in Karachi, Pakistan since the year 2021.
In the tweet, the car was seen by the roadside after hitting a divider and it the incident looks like it happened along the Karak highway heading towards Genting Sempah.
So, the question remains, should all airbags deploy in an accident?
A debate had sparked within the community online and many had given their opinions on why the airbags did not deploy.
From speculations of passengers not wearing their seatbelts to defective sensors on the car.
Here are some of the debated questions:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Antara sebab airbag tak deploy 1. Tak pakai seatbelt 2. Crash tak kena sensor 3. Crash tak cukup padu untuk airbag deployment, seatbelt je dah memadai 4. Airbag system rosak 5. Cinggey

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Among many who debated, one tweet stood out as it showed the diagram of the collision sensors on the front of the X70.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Nampak macam tak kena sensor la. Ada 2, satu belakang grill satu kat bawah (?) headlamp kiri. Nampak dua2 tempat ni macam cantik lagi. Ada satu sensor lagi kat side kiri. Belah kanan tak tau ada ke tak. Entah la aku x70 ni setakat pernah pam tayar je <a href="https://t.co/DibFH1PYWA">pic.twitter.com/DibFH1PYWA</a>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

After looking at the image of the sensor placement and the condition of the vehicle after the accident, it may have been possible that the sensor did not register the impact as a severe accident. Typically, an accident below 25 kmph is considered as a non-severe accident and if the crumple zone of the car is not affected.
As of now, Proton has not released any statement on the viral incident but looks like we&rsquo;ll have to wait and see in the future.
Let&rsquo;s just hope that something like this wouldn&rsquo;t happen either (Disclaimer, the video below is only for joke purposes)

Deploy Or Not Deploy? Netizens Debate Over New Car's Airbag After It Crashes

Let&rsquo;s talk about Gig Workers.
Gig workers is a person who works a temporary job and is typically in the service sector. Yes, people who freelance very much fall into this category but don&rsquo;t forget, even our food delivery riders are considered gig workers.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1659680179/unsigned/yz58erzlmzhtcwh86qvi.png" />
&nbsp;
Most of the time, these riders don&rsquo;t have a fixed income and are all solely depend on the number of deliveries and working hours but looks like airasia Super App and airasia Food owner Capital A Bhd have good news for their gig workers as they had announced a full-time employment with a minimum salary of RM3,000!
Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said that alongside the attractive basic salary, riders will also receive perks such as Employee Providence Fund (EPF) and Social Security Organisations (Socso) savings account, medical coverage, annual leaves and even travel benefits.
<img src="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/GargantuanOffbeatCockatoo-size_restricted.gif" />
&nbsp;
&ldquo;We are thrilled to be welcoming the riders into our family. As many people know, airasia has always been about people, and we believe that people are our greatest asset. This applies across all of Capital A&rsquo;s business units, including the airasia Super App.&rdquo;

&nbsp;
Now that they are offering all these benefits, surely many people will be interested in applying for the job, right? Head of delivery Lim Ben-Jie had addressed on the issue of overload of applicants.
He says that for now, they will not have any concern as applicants will be subjected to a proper screening process before being hired. 
If it&rsquo;s one thing for sure is that airasia food and airasia Xpress will be seeing a growth of riders. They also noted that this will be a positive thing for the company as they strive to become one of the significant players in the industry such as what Grab and FoodPanda has achieve. 
If you&rsquo;re on the look out for a job then now is the time as AirAsia is still looking to grow as they only have 20 permanent riders for now. 
Aside from the company offering the full-time positions, they even rewarded six new full-time riders with two motorbikes and at least 10 flight tickets. 
Is this an answer to the delivery service strike happening today?

Currently, a protest is going on due to riders being provoked by their companies cutting their wages and requesting them to work longer hours if they want to acquire their targeted wages. Many of the riders had also demanded the delivery platforms to contribute to EPF and Socso and offer them full-time employment instead as they are risking it all to make deliveries every day.
&ldquo;In Malaysia, we have one of the highest (road) accident rates in the world and when they (the riders) get involved in an accident, what happens is that they do not have insurance and medical coverage. And if they are unable to work, they will lose their source of income. If they are unable to work for a long period of time, there is no compensation or protection that should be protected by Socso,&rdquo; said Strategy Director of PKR Youth, Bryan Ng Yih Miin.
It's great to see AirAsia put the effort in hiring full-timers for those working in the gig economy sector. Now we shall see what their competitors have to say about it. 
What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

Unlike their competitors in the market, they are the first in the region to provide EPF, Socso and additional benefits their riders.

There may be a strike held by riders from Malaysian delivery services like Grab and Food Panda for 24 hours tomorrow, on 5 August 2022.
It is stated that their strike is a result provoked by: 1) The cutting of wages 2) Long working hours
By protesting under the hashtag of&nbsp; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=sembelihrider">&ldquo;#SembelihRider (#SlaughteringRiders) ,</a> on social media, they declared that the companies had decreased their salaries. This in turn has prompted them to work for longer hours to acquire their targeted wages.
A rider now needs to work for 12 hours a day to reach the goal of their desired income, which has increased 2 hours, compared to 10 hours in the past. Moreover, a protestor stated in a post that a Grab rider only receives RM 3.00 for each delivery.&nbsp;
The riders discussed their hope for the improvement of their fares through the strike. They revealed that they might be planning the strike for 3 days without being provided a solution that fulfils both parties.&nbsp;
Mohd Azril Ahmat, a Grab driver, claimed that there are around 60% of Grab drivers that advocate for the strike whereas 40% would oppose it.&nbsp;

However, Grab has rebuked the claim of their lowered wages. The other companies, on the other hand, have not responded to this situation.
This is an uncertain event. Kindly wait for any new updates.&nbsp;
