M'sian calls out parents for refusing to save for her education
'Why do the children have to suffer?' - M'sian calls out parents for refusing to save for her education A young Malaysian has taken to X to anonymously unleash her fury over her parents' 'terribly bad' financial decisions, specifically their refusal to save for their children's education. In a raw and emotional post, the girl revealed the stark reality: despite earning salaries 'in the tens of thousands,' her parents have made a conscious choice to have 'no savings at all for the children's education.' The reason behind this decision, according to the frustrated youth, is a deeply ingrained generational pattern. The parents, mirroring their own upbringing, have opted not to fund their children's schooling. 'The reason: because their parents didn't do it that way before. ALSO READ: Middle-class dad earning RM10k feels financial strain 'I'm hurt by my own parents who were obviously struggling, why do the children have to suffer too?' This candid and heartbreaking post quickly gained traction, with many netizens coming to the parents' defense. One user, @notUrAvarageSir, retorted, 'Want to say it's their responsibility? Want to say who asked you to be born? Want to say you didn't even ask to be born? Wrong, no, you have to remember, there are small children who are abused, parents who sell their own children, children who are abused. It's good that your parents gave you a place to shelter and gave you food, you should be grateful, don't be ignorant.' Adding to the criticism, @eltheroo suggested the teen's lifestyle might be a contributing factor: 'Feels like you're the one who gobbled up all their money, right? Latest iPhone, eating at T20-level buka puasa buffets, own car (I assume). Suddenly want to bring it up. Here, just go to a government university like the others, it's not like you'll die. Or even community college is cheap, your monthly allowance can cover it.' Another netizen echoed the sentiment of self-reliance, commenting, 'Why don't you, the anonymous one, try working and finding money yourself? Only then will you know how difficult it is to earn a living to feed you from small until you're grown up.'

Pilgrims happy with TH cafeteria services, Malaysian menu, affordable prices
MAKKAH: Friendly service, reasonable prices and familiar Malaysian flavours are among the main reasons pilgrims have expressed satisfaction with the cafeteria services provided by Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) at the seven Pilgrims' Accommodation Buildings (BPJH) here. Pilgrim Muhamad Fakhri Kamarul Zaman, 34, shared his appreciation for the pricing, noting that it is much cheaper compared to eateries or supermarkets. 'The dishes served are just like what we have back in Malaysia. My favourite is the nasi lemak,' he told reporters recently. He also welcomed the cafeteria's flexible payment system, which allows pilgrims to pay for their meals at any time, helping to reduce congestion during peak hours. Meanwhile, Normah Mat Noor, 59, said she is happy with TH's thoughtful effort in offering familiar Malaysian dishes. 'I feel it's truly worth being able to stay here to perform the Haj. It feels like being back in Malaysia. This is an excellent initiative that caters to our tastes,' she said. Meanwhile, TH Makkah Cafeteria operations manager, Muhammad Najib Zulkifi, said TH remains committed to ensuring pilgrims are served clean, high-quality meals at affordable prices. 'The pricing at all cafeterias follows our established guidelines to ensure it does not burden them. For example, heavier meals like nasi lemak are sold for around six to 10 riyals, depending on the choice of side dishes. 'Traditional snacks and kuih are priced at around five riyals, which is below the maximum limit of six riyals,' he added. Muhammad Najib said seven cafeterias are operating at the BPJH Makkah, with three directly managed by TH, located at Abraj Al Janadriyah, Hotel Land Premium and Abraj Al Tayseer. 'Each cafeteria is open from 4.30 am to 11 pm. Cooked food is available from 4 am. 'Quality checks are carried out every two hours to ensure the food remains fresh and safe. Items found to be unsuitable are immediately removed and discarded,' he said.

UMS partners with Russian university to enhance technical training in oil and gas
KOTA KINABALU: Malaysia, through Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), has signed an agreement with one of Russia's leading petroleum universities to foster a new era of research, innovation and technical training between both nations. UMS Vice-Chancellor, Professor Datuk Dr. Kasim Mansor, led the signing with Rector of Almetyevsk State Technological University (ASTU), Professor Dyakonov Alexander Anatolyevich, at ASTU's campus in Almetyevsk, Republic of Tatarstan, recently. 'We are deeply honoured to translate the strategic intent of our national leadership into meaningful academic collaboration,' said Kasim. 'This partnership is not just about MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) on paper. It is about unlocking mutual potential, driving innovation, and preparing our future engineers and researchers for global impact,' he added. Kasim stated that the MOU served as a roadmap for joint research initiatives, technical training programmes, staff and student mobility, the development of TVET models for the oil and gas sector, and academic-industrial collaborations through specialised workshops and conferences. 'UMS's achievement in Russia is not only a win for the university but a proud moment for the nation, reflecting how far Malaysian institutions can go when empowered by visionary leadership,' he stated. The UMS delegation, hosted in Kazan and Almetyevsk by ASTU's International Affairs Office, led by Camilla Igonina, received a tour of ASTU's facilities, including VR-integrated drilling simulators, hydraulic systems, core sample analysis labs and a uniquely designed, interconnected practical training campus. The visit was guided by Associate Professor Vasilenko Yury Valeryevich, ASTU's First Vice-Rector.
