Six-year-old boy enters MBR by identifying 65 currencies in one minute
Thanks to this unique skill, his name has been recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) for the achievement of 'Most Foreign Currencies Identified by a Child in One Minute'. 03 Aug 2025 10:02am Devakshean, who was born on Sept 10, 2019 said he loves the Malaysian flag as well as Mathematics, English and Science and aspires to become a firefighter. - Bernama photo SEREMBAN - Who would have thought that at just six years old, a boy named D. Devakshean could make history with his extraordinary ability to identify 65 currencies from various countries in a single minute. Thanks to this unique skill, his name has been recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) for the achievement of 'Most Foreign Currencies Identified by a Child in One Minute'. Devakshean - Bernama photo His mother, G. Devamalar, 37, from Negeri Sembilan, said her son began showing interest in national flags when he was just one year old, and could already accurately identify and name the Malaysian flag. "From an early age, we could see his extraordinary abilities. When we showed him pictures or flags, he remembered them quickly. So, from there, we started training him, and at the age of two, he set a record by identifying over 200 countries and cities. "His memory is truly exceptional-whatever we show him, he can remember. Not only flags and currency values but much more-he picks things up quickly,' she told reporters after a certificate of recognition was presented by MBR representative V. Menaga to Devakshean here today. Devamalar said she and her husband, A. Devakumaran, 41, have always supported their only child's interests and development. She also said it took about a month of preparation to train Devakshean before applying for MBR recognition this year. "My son loves watching YouTube. So, we uploaded content such as lists of foreign currencies and the like to YouTube, and he learned on his own through that platform. He rarely plays-he enjoys reading books and learning on his own. That's just his nature. We've never forced him-it's his passion,' she said. Devamalar also hoped her son's extraordinary achievement would open doors to more opportunities, including possibly entering the Guinness World Records, and uncovering other potential areas that could be nurtured in the future. "Not many people know him yet. I hope that through media coverage, more people will learn about him and he will have opportunities to go further,' she said. Meanwhile, Devakshean, who was born on Sept 10, 2019, said he loves the Malaysian flag as well as Mathematics, English, and Science, and aspires to become a firefighter. - BERNAMA

Fire Dept: 60pc of fires caused by electrical faults
PUTRAJAYA, Aug 3 — The Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (JBPM) has attributed about 60 per cent of house fires in the country to electrical issues. Director-general Datuk Seri Nor Hisham Mohammad said the main causes include unsafe wiring, non-compliant electrical modifications and excessive use of electrical appliances. 'Many people take electrical safety at home lightly. Old wiring, frequent tripping of switches and the use of high-powered appliances like air conditioners, water heaters and chest freezers often lead to electrical overload,' he told Bernama. He added that common mistakes, such as directly reconnecting a blown fuse or bypassing electrical safety systems, can spark major fires, especially if the system fails to cut off the power during a short circuit or overheating. Nor Hisham advised homeowners to have their wiring inspected by a licensed electrician every 10 to 15 years to detect possible electrical leaks, particularly in older houses or newly completed homes. 'Don't take early signs of electrical faults lightly. If a socket in your home keeps tripping, don't just ignore it, call a qualified electrician to fix the problem,' he advised. Nor Hisham said cooking is also among the main contributors to house fires, especially when the kitchen is left unattended or gas leaks occur. He added that property losses from fires in 2023 were estimated at RM1.6 billion, down from RM2.66 billion the previous year, despite an increase in the number of structural fires. 'Factors such as the fire department's swift response and greater public awareness, including the use of fire extinguishers at an early stage, have helped reduce losses from house fires,' he said. Nor Hisham recommended that every building and home be equipped with at least one fire extinguisher to enable immediate action should a fire break out. 'Our core value is the principle that prevention is better than cure. According to the Sendai Framework study, every ringgit invested in preventive measures can yield a return of RM8 in reduced losses,' he said. 'In other words, investing RM1 is expected to cut potential disaster-related losses by RM8,' he explained. The Sendai Framework is an international agreement that sets out measures to reduce disaster risks, to lower death tolls, reduce the number of people affected and minimise economic losses and infrastructure damage caused by disasters. From 2015 to 2030, the framework also stresses the importance of understanding disaster risks, strengthening governance, investing in risk reduction and boosting preparedness. — Bernama

Metal, memory and a master's hands: Meet the man keeping Kelantan's ‘pisau jam' tradition burning
KOTA BHARU, Aug 3 — Thin smoke curls from glowing embers as Fauzi Yusoff, 69, firmly grasps his hammer. His movements are slow, deliberate, as if syncing with the heartbeat of a craft that breathes through fire and steel. This is the daily ritual of a former headmaster who has never stopped breathing life into the 'pisau jam', a traditional Kelantan Malay knife now known mostly by name to the young generation. 'The shape of this 'pisau jam' is unique, like the hands of a wall clock. I use iron for the blade's core, but the rest is made from a mix of five types of old 'pamo' iron... if you look closely, you'll see fine borders along the blade, that's its signature,' said Fauzi, affectionately called Cikgu Fauzi, in an interview with Bernama. Hammering metal was merely an after-school hobby for Fauzi more than three decades ago. Today, each strike of the hammer is a memory, a tribute to his late father, Yusoff Kasim, a renowned blacksmith in Kampung Padang Embun, in Pasir Mas. A knife crafted by Fauzi Yusoff undergoes the burning process before being forged at his workshop in Kampung Hutan Pasir, Ketereh. — Bernama pic Though only six inches long, each 'pisau jam' forged by Cikgu Fauzi tells a deep and personal story. Its sheath is carved from tiger-striped Acacia wood, the bolster (aring) crafted from hammered molten copper, and the hilt, or handle, made from strong, long-lasting merbau wood. 'Many have offered to buy it, but I can't let it go. This isn't just a weapon, it's my family's history, my father's,' he said. At home, his wife, Che Azizah Mat Ali, 67, also a retired teacher, quietly stands by, a witness to her husband's weathered hands and enduring devotion. Their four children and 11 grandchildren grew up to the rhythm of metal on iron. They know that for Fauzi, this isn't just work, it's blood, memory, and soul. Apart from 'pisau jam', Fauzi also still produces machetes, keris, swords and sickles. Each one is forged with patience because for him, the art of ironwork is not just about form but also taste. Knife maker Fauzi Yusoff works on refining a forged blade at his workshop in Kampung Hutan Pasir, Ketereh. — Bernama pic Among his most treasured creations is a knife blade with a wooden sheath in the shape of an arowana fish. 'It takes months to finish one. Each fin must be carved by hand. I used to sell it for RM550, but now it's worth thousands of ringgit, but I don't make it anymore because the sheath maker has passed away,' he said. His humble workshop behind the house, built at a cost of nearly RM100,000, is more than a place to work. It's a sacred space, where every spark and ember rekindles memories of his father. 'When I hear the sound of the hammer, I feel like my father is beside me again. I remember how he taught me to hold the hammer, how to be patient when the iron glows red,' he said. Fauzi Yusoff shows some of the machetes, sickles, knives and keris he has made at his workshop in Kampung Hutan Pasir, Ketereh. — Bernama pic Most orders today come for machetes and sickles, which are ready in a week. But making swords and keris takes time, precision, and patience — skills that not every hand can master. A single handcrafted keris can fetch up to RM3,000. 'The process begins by heating the iron over charcoal, then hammering it with an 'Air Hammer' machine. After that comes the 'sepoh', quenching it in water or oil to harden the blade,' he explained. But the final stage — the rolling and finishing — is the most delicate. 'If you're not at peace, the blade won't turn out right. This is my father's trust. It's also my love for the craft,' he said. For Cikgu Fauzi, as long as there is fire, as long as hands are willing to strike iron, this heritage will never die. — Bernama
