Goat grazes on grass high above on power line: Glitch in the matrix?
A BIZZARE video recently captured the attention of social media users, showing a goat perched on an overhead power line.
The incident, thought to have occurred somewhere in Indonesia, was filmed from a moving vehicle on a busy roadway.
In the short clip, the goat, complete with horns, appears remarkably relaxed as it balances on a single electrical wire and snacks on a bunch of grass snagged on the cable.
What makes the scene even more astonishing is the location. The goat is calmly standing above a road bustling with traffic, showing no signs of fear or distress.
The footage, shared by Indonesian portal Lambeturah.co.id, has already amassed over 15,000 views in a short period, though it hasn't drawn much interaction beyond that.
Viewers online have been left puzzled, with many wondering about the precise location and how the goat ended up in such an improbable position. The original poster has yet to provide any further details. —June 10, 2025

Char Kuey Teow Gets Snubbed While Muar's Mee Bandung Storms Global Top 5
Subscribe to our FREE The international food scene just got a reality check courtesy of TasteAtlas's 2024/2025 global noodle rankings, and Malaysia is having the last laugh with eight entries in the top 100. Leading the charge is Mee Bandung from Muar, Johor, which bulldozed its way to fifth place worldwide with a stellar 4.6 rating—leaving food snobs everywhere scrambling to Google 'what the hell is Mee Bandung?' But here's the kicker that's got Malaysian food lovers doing double-takes: Char Kuey Teow, the smoky wok-kissed legend that's supposedly conquered 'many taste buds,' didn't even crack the list. That's right—the dish that food tourists pilgrimage to Penang for was ghosted entirely. The Muar Marvel That Nobody Saw Coming While everyone was busy hyping up Penang's street food scene, this unassuming bowl from Muar was quietly perfecting its game. Mee Bandung isn't just noodles—it's a masterclass in flavour engineering. Yellow noodles swimming in a thick, spicy sauce made from chillies, onions, shrimp paste, and dried shrimp, loaded with halved hard-boiled eggs, prawns, fish cakes, and vegetables. Sometimes beef joins the party, and a squeeze of lime juice provides the perfect acidic punctuation. The name itself tells the story: 'Bandung' means 'mixed' or 'paired'—nothing to do with the Indonesian city, despite what your geography teacher might have told you. It's all about the art of combination, taking disparate ingredients and creating something greater than the sum of its parts. Malaysia's Noodle Domination The full Malaysian invasion of the Mee Bandung (5th, 4.6) – The Muar champion East Coast Laksam (27th, 4.4) – Kelantan and Terengganu's thick, coconut-rich contribution Curry Mee (49th, 4.2) – Because coconut milk makes everything better Maggi Goreng (58th, 4.2) – Instant noodles elevated to an art form Penang Hokkien Mee (62nd, 4.2) – The dark, prawn-stock beauty Penang Assam Laksa (67th, 4.1) – Sour, fishy, and absolutely addictive Mee Rebus (73rd, 4.1) – Sweet potato starch never tasted so good Tai Lok Mee (92nd, 4.0) – Central and Southern Malaysia's sleeper hit This is what noodle domination looks like when Malaysia claims eight spots in the world's top 100, proving that the best bowls aren't always the most famous ones. (Pix: Fernando Fong) The Char Kuey Teow Mystery The absence of Char Kuey Teow from this list is the culinary equivalent of leaving The Beatles off a greatest bands ranking. This is the dish that food bloggers write love letters about, that the late American chef and author Anthony Bourdain practically genuflected before, that has spawned countless 'best of' lists across Southeast Asia. So what happened? Did the people who left their ratings on various dishes miss the memo about Did they not get the smoky, slightly charred noodles with Chinese sausage, prawns, and bean sprouts? Or is Char Kuey Teow simply too cool for international validation? Nothing captures the authentic local kopitiam dining experience than a steaming plate of Char Kuey Teow. (Pix: Fernando Fong) What This Really Says This ranking isn't just about noodles—it's about Malaysia's food culture finally getting its due on the global stage. For too long, Malaysian cuisine has been overshadowed by its more famous neighbours, but this list proves what locals have always known: some of the world's best eating happens at plastic tables under zinc roofs. A comforting bowl of traditional 'lai fun' rice noodle soup in Gopeng, Perak, in clear, aromatic broth with tender pieces of pork lard and fresh green onions. (Pix: Fernando Fong) The fact that Mee Bandung—a dish many international food lovers have never heard of—outranked countless 'famous' noodle dishes from around the world speaks to the depth and sophistication of Malaysian hawker culture. These aren't just cheap eats; they're generations of culinary refinement. The Char Kuey Teow snub, meanwhile, might be the best thing that ever happened to it as nothing says 'authentic local secret' like being ignored by international food rankings. While tourists chase Instagram-worthy bowls, locals know where the real magic happens. READ MORE : READ MORE : READ MORE : Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

#SHOWBIZ: College thriller gets remake with darker story
BACK in 2018, screenwriter Nadia Khan served Malaysian viewers with 'Gantung', a college thriller that served as both a "whodunit" and buddy movie with a tragic and disturbing storyline. Viewed by millions on the small screen, this hit series saw popular Indonesian actor Randy Pangalila play an angry young man named Gibbs, who with his buddies Ray, KJ and Troll, were suspected of driving a depressed female college mate to suicide by hanging. 'Gantung' is back by popular demand, now as a 2-hour feature film with a new cast. Retitled as 'Gantung: Musketeer Code', it stays true to the series and is once again set in an elite school somewhere in Kuala Lumpur. Now directed by Nadia herself instead of Shamyl Othman, the film is also produced by Neddo Works, her company. At the recent preview of 'Gantung' in GSC Mid Valley Megamall, Nadia said that she chose to make the novel and television series into a movie as a result of strong feedback from netizens over the years. "It wasn't easy to get this off the ground but thank God I did. This was achieved through a crowdfundiong effort, and we successfully raised RM200,000 to make the movie back in 2020." DELAYED Sadly, the movie was delayed for three years because of the Covid-19 pandemic and its subsequent Movement Control Order (MCO). "Filming was done in December 2023 and took a month," said Nadia. She added that while many viewers might not have caught the series on television, moviegoers need not watch it before catching the new movie. "Both stories stand on their own, just that some of the actors are different and the way the story is told is different, too," said Nadia. YOUNG CAST The movie, which opened in cinemas on June 5, boasts a star-studded young cast from Malaysia and Indonesia, with lots of established Malaysian stars in cameo or supporting roles. It stars Ikmal Amry, Ben Amir, Hafreez Adam, Brandon Salim, Shazia Rozaini, Gita Sucia, Taufiq Hanafi, Nelissa Nizam, Bront Palarae, Datin Sofia Jane, Chew Kin Wah, Sangeeta Krishnasamy, Sharifah Sofia, Amanda Ang, Anas Ridzuan, Nadiya Nisaa and Siti Saleha Baharom. Nadia said that there will be sequels to 'Gantung' as it is the first of her three novels in the Gantung series which she penned more than a decade ago. "And the ending of the movie clearly shows that the story of Ray, Gibbs, KJ and Troll will be continued," she said, describing it as a youth-oriented story, part murder mystery, part horror, and part teen soap opera. SOLOZ Ikmal, who has won praise for his role as the villain in Syafiq Yusof's 'Soloz' early this year, said that while he is the hero this time, he is still an angry young man with family issues. "I'm Ray, the de facto storyteller here, and while he's once again angsty, I like such characters as they are realistic." Ben said that he was the "odd man out" amongst the four main characters, as Randy had chosen not to reprise his role as "alpha male" Gibbs. "I was asked not to follow Randy's version of Gibbs and instead portray the 'taiko' of the gang my own way," he said, adding that his version of Gibbs was less aggressive and more subtle than Randy's. JOCK Hafreez said that he was happy to reprise his role as Troll, because the "jock" among the boys was both funny and tragic. "He's very much a poor, little rich boy. He masks his pain behind a somewhat arrogant image," he said. Nadia said that the story was basically about Ray's friendship with his childhood and college buddies and how he is protective of them, even if they break the law and cause harm to others in the same college. "They always have his back, and vice-versa, and they live by this principle which they nickname as The Musketeer Code," she said. FEMINIST Shazia, who plays the main female character Farah, said that she was the "school feminist" who campaigns against sexism. "However, Farah also lives a contradictory life, as she is in a relationship with a seemingly sexist boyfriend Gibbs," she said. BROTHER Nadia said that the key cameos in the movie are Sofia, Chew and Sangeetha as teachers in the college, Bront as the brother of the dead girl who demands justice, Siti Saleha as the manager of the school cafe and Amanda as a concerned parent. Nadia said that the story might be a little confusing thanks to the flashbacks, but that was beauty of a thought-provoking script and novel. "It is not meant to be a straightforward tale, but one where each character has his or her own story to tell and his or her owh demons to face," she said. "At the heart of it all, is the timeless message of being honest with oneself and being a true friend despite life's challenges and tragedies."

#SHOWBIZ: Silat sizzles up Malay dance drama
IT was an interesting tale of a woman who sacrificed love for the sake of her kingdom. Then weave good performance synchronicity and evocative music into the mix, and you get a great night at the theatre to remember. That's what 'Setanggi Tari Melayu' offered at the Petaling Jaya Performing Arts Centre in Selangor over a weekend recently. All this was courtesy of the ASK Dance Company and Faculty of Dance Aswara and the Music and Performing Arts Faculty of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). From the 'mengadap rebab' to silat, 'joget', 'inang', the 'piring' (saucer) segment, and the 'zapin', among other dances, the ASK ensemble offered an energetic performance. I was held in rapt attention by the silat segments. The timing is everything when you do fight scenes. There was one move where the lead silat dancer leapt backwards into the arms of his warriors, and eventually landed gracefully and safely. This is not something you watch on YouTube or on your small screen, but live. It takes lots of training, precision and, of course, luck. It certainly calls for trust in your fellow performers too. Lion dance troupes are known for such moves, and I really enjoyed the contemporising of silat moves in 'Setanggi Tari Melayu' by young dancers that fine night. Malaysians of a certain era would have learnt some Malay dances in school, like the 'piring' dance and the candle dance. The way the ASK male dancers delivered the 'piring' dance that evening was jaunty, with plates being juggled and bounced to each other in time to the beat. Sure, we may have waited, anxiously, for one to fall, but none did! The dancers also left the stage to 'joget' up the aisles, offering the audience a more intimate connection to the show. Kudos to ASK Dance Company founder and artistic director Prof Dr Joseph Gonzales, Azmie Zanal Abdden, Mohd Fauzi Amiruddin, creative producer Imran Syafiq, and Mohd Zulkarnain Zuber, who put together the impressive choreography. The music held a special place and the programme e-book listed Indonesian groups like Samudra ensemble and Sanggar for additional compositions. Overall, the music effectively swept the audience up in its aural proceedings and perfectly complemented the various mesmerising scenes onstage. The main leads in the show — Nadhirah Rahmat as Princess Melati, Wong Shan Tie as the devoted sister Princess Melur and Mohamad Adlan Sairin as Prince Adam — staged well-choreographed moves to deliver the tale. The dance drama is about Melati and Melur, who are trained in silat, under the tutelage of their loving parents, played by Seth Hamzah and Ezydiyanie Omar (both Aswara faculty members). A rather modern kingdom that lets women become heirs to the throne, it is rich with a sought-after magical keris that Melati (I guess) would inherit. Along comes Prince Adam, and they got betrothed, but it is eventually revealed that he has bad intentions. At the end, in a kick-ass scene, Melati kills him, with Melur's assistance. The betrothal night scene, when Melati kills the prince, is surreal, even mystical. Held behind a white gauzy screen, the duo is subtly seen as shadowy characters enacting love and then some wickedness. Although behind a screen, the expressions on their faces, as well as their body movements are clear. Quite a cinematic scene indeed! Overall, 'Setanggi Tari Melayu' was an exciting dance drama that featured several outstanding silat sequences. It was thoroughly an enjoyable watch.
