There will always be a skeptical judgment against any occupation in this world in the eyes of society. Perhaps makchik bawang knows the best&hellip;
Unpopular opinions such as lawyers are (good) liars, politicians sound more politikus, teacher profession is not worth anymore, accountants have nothing else to do but numbers in their life, and the list goes on.
Generally, society would view people based on the what they do for a living and the logic is there.

Not all superheroes wear cape, some wear helmets.
Every cloud has a silver lining. The strike of Covid-19 to some extent had opened the eyes of the community and take delivery riders&rsquo; occupation seriously where they have committed to their job delivering food to houses, buildings, and premises from a location to another continuously every single day.
Apart from that, countless times we heard of our delivery riders have been always the ones who lend a hand whenever there were accidents on the roads too.
They are not the only delivery rider. They are front liners and superheroes!

Since the movement control order (MCO) took place on March 18, two major food delivery services have increased the number of riders working for them to meet increasing demand.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341087/unsigned/xzbiuqxltie9exwfiypa.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" />
Foodpanda Malaysia&rsquo;s head of logistic, Shubham Saran shared that there had&nbsp;been a 7.5 percent rise in the number of delivery guys for his organization and a 37 percent increase in employment applications.
He mentioned his company had begun to hire significant numbers of new riders a week before March 18 last year.
Despite how some people might view this industry as something "less important" rather than other occupations, still many people opt for food delivery riders as a valid option to commit as a part-time job.
Let's take a moment for a while and re-think this. Is it true that Malaysians have really &lsquo;opened up&rsquo; their eyes about this occupation of delivery riders?
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341133/unsigned/hqqyvuq2rv3dkc6ev0e3.gif" alt="" width="300" height="169" />
Life without delivery riders? Nightmares. 
Delivery riders have been the unsung heroes who brave the insane roads and streets every day. Who knew that delivery riders can also be friendly and were so much informative if one takes the chance to get to know more about their experience in this said industry.
Team MYC! has decided to take this opportunity to bring the delivery rider's topic to public attention especially of how much people have perhaps underestimated or overlooked this occupation within the community. A few interview sessions have been carried out recently from two major food delivery companies of their riders regarding current issues and the reality of being a delivery rider nowadays based on their own experiences in ways we could never think of before.
Nor Adlan Nordin, an officer of the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (Jabatan Kastam Diraja Malaysia) shared how was his journey so far as a part-time Foodpanda rider since Covid-19 since last year, in an engaging conversation we had.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341319/unsigned/ygyzxyfxrwgqzn1quwr9.png" alt="Adlan cherishes his job as a delivery rider not only could improve his time management but also a good side income for quick cash" width="500" height="300" />
Adlan cherishes his job as a delivery rider not only could improve his time management but also a good side income for quick cash.
&nbsp;
Y'all better be good because police can rock in a pink shirt as well.
Adlan told that it takes a good time management skills to multitask his limited time in fulfilling the responsibilities as a police officer and a food delivery rider. Both consume a lot of energy and time daily however, with a day that can profit him at least RM120 roughly, it was worth of sacrifices especially in the hurdles of pandemic and the uncertainty of the economy nowadays.
He told that "My duty as a police officer would require two to three days a week so whenever I have my off days, I&rsquo;d usually work (as a Foodpanda rider) from 10 am until around 12 pm and the profit gained from the service would roughly cost me RM120. It depends on what &lsquo;batch&rsquo; one belongs to in the food runner system based on his or her performance as a delivery rider.
"But I can't lie, it is such an exhausting commitment but it is worth my time. I want to improve myself better in time,' said the 23-year-old rider when asked why does food delivery service become his choice as a second job at the moment.
The fact that a motorcycle is indeed a perfect vehicle to get around conveniently compared to cars especially in the middle of busy traffic in a packed city, motorcyclists are more likely exposed to risks of any possible physical injuries on the road.
Adlan agreed as he explained it further, "I am aware of the mentioned risk (road accidents). It is the worst thing that could ever happen to any motorcyclist. Thus, there is no safety management system adopted by the company for their riders so we (delivery riders) have to take care of our self.
He proceeded, "Every occupation has its commitments. Since this job offers flexible time to fit into my schedule and it pays not bad, I consider this (the challenges) as an opportunity instead."
On the other hand, another Foodpanda rider Mohamad Aiman Mohamad Razi also viewed this industry as a great opportunity to improve his side income with flexible working hours.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341432/unsigned/bydchde7xazhhglfyhdu.jpg" alt="Aiman believes hard work pays off. " width="500" height="668" />
Aiman believes hard work pays off.
&nbsp;
As a delivery rider who can make roughly RM280 a day, Aiman said that it is the attitude that rules the game. He casually pinned, &ldquo;There is nothing complicated about this job. How much you put your effort into the job by delivering the order to the customers, that&rsquo;s how much you get paid for.
&ldquo;As a full-time delivery rider in Kangar, Perlis, I have to make sure that my motorcycle is always in a good condition. I don't have to spend much on the maintenance since motorcycle only needs to monitor its engine oil and chain in two months in a time if you take good care of your motorcycle well-being," he laughed.
Better pay than sitting in an office.
Nevertheless, the reality delivery riders ought to deal with is the ultimate weather of Malaysia in attempt to send their customers food on time and safely.
Although Malaysia is known for its equatorial climate, our unpredictable weather sometimes can be blazing hot and the other days are pouring heavily, delivery riders ought to step up their game to overcome the challenge and run their job smoothly.
Both delivery riders proposed that the weather is not something that any of us could have control over it, so they took the initiative to wear long sleeves gloves, a secured face mask, and always have their raincoats prepared with them at all times.
Stigma against delivery rider
People and stigma against the occupation can never be separated as mentioned earlier. When it comes to the delivery rider, some would say those delivery riders are always riding dangerously on the road and often hit the red light because they tend to "catch up" with the customers' orders.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341485/unsigned/bqpefbycrgppyuvogxjo.png" alt="Kasyful devoted his time to being a student from one of the local universities while working as a part-time Grabfood delivery rider in Selangor." width="500" height="333" />
Kasyful devoted his time to being a student fromone of the local universities while working as a part-time Grabfood delivery rider in Selangor.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
A Grabfood delivery rider who is also a Bachelor of Pharmacy student, Kasyful Azhim Zainal shared his opinion, "I cannot deny that there are delivery riders that hit the red lights, etc and what is wrong, is wrong. They shouldn't be too focused on the orders alone and risk their lives and others.
"Hence, every occupation in this world has its challenges and none of us could escape from the society's stigma.
"People can judge all they want but they have no right to decide what's the best for us. Believe in ourselves and don't let people's voices stop us from doing what we want."
As a front liner, Kasyful takes a serious prevention in reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 while fulfilling his responsibility as a food delivery rider.
&ldquo;The (Covid-19) cases are still high and the lifted MCO shouldn&rsquo;t be a reason for us to take the pandemic as something come and go. Like other (delivery) riders, I strictly follow the SOP, wear mask, and keep my distance with customers when working,&rdquo; he said in the interview session.
Could not agree more with what Kasyful had to say about caring too much about others' thoughts rather than ours. After all, life is not about the destination but the journey along the way.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1638341532/unsigned/hh2hnmmqlewdavhm8jgw.gif" alt="" width="300" height="169" />
Conscious or not, the delivery rider actually plays a very important role in our community to ensure the nation runs smoothly while in effort to curb the pandemic spread. Regardless of the what occupation that people are committing to, we should respect each other and spread kindness to make the world a better place to live. Don&rsquo;t be a Karen.
People are entitled to their own challenges with different solutions. Everyone does not have to be a doctor, a lawyer, an auditor, or even a delivery rider exactly to meet the life purposes. We just have to be ourself and that is enough.
&nbsp;
Team MYC would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude and take this opportunity to thank every delivery rider, especially the great ones we approached. Photograph credits to respective delivery riders.

Delivery riders are one of the most underrated occupations that have been instrumental in keeping our economy (and sanity...) going especially during the pandemic.

Lead Stars From 'Itaewon Class' And 'My Name' Confirmed For New Thriller Drama!

It doesn't require Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) to think logically if logging activities could or not affect the animal population in the forest, because the answer is yes.
Malaysian Association of Zoological Parks and Aquaria (MAZPA) chairman Dr. Kevin Lazarus yesterday spoke out against the recent statement going around that logging does not affect the tiger population, Jan 27.
He strongly believes that logging activities have an impact on the tiger population. With forests no longer kept well especially in Malaysia, forests are unable to fulfill their duty to provide food for the tigers as many other dependent animals are affected by the human excessive logging activities.
"Perhaps if it was 50 to 60 years ago when logging activities were done correctly, there might be a chance for prey to live.
"Back then, there was selective logging done where trees were still able to regrow.
"But now, to say that logging doesn't affect tigers is incorrect," he said at Zoo Taiping and Night Safari yesterday.
A few days ago (Jan 24), Kelantan Forestry director Abdul Khalim Abu Samah made a &lsquo;brave&rsquo; statement that logging activities in the state did not affect its tiger population as he said logging activities are actually "good for the tiger population.&rdquo;
"When there is logging, the area will be overgrown with saplings. So, the area will be attended by animals such as deer that are the tiger's food. It will make it easier for tigers to hunt their prey," said Abdul Khalim.
Abdul Khalim&rsquo;s statement came after a claim that the presence of tigers near Orang Asli villages in Gua Musang were the result of excessive logging.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643358578/unsigned/nzdetj7vf4cboi9vs8oy.gif" alt="" width="296" height="200" />
Dr. Lazarus, who also serves as the director of the Zoo Taiping, stated that a tiger would commonly take&nbsp;between 200 and 300 kilometres of area to roam.
"Their roaming area depends on the thickness of the forest as well as the food source.
"If the forest is thick but lacks a food source, they might need a bigger roaming area and vice versa.
"Four female tigers need at least 70km to 80km to roam and hunt for food," he said.
Many were upset to hear such statement coming out from the person with a position that is supposed to be responsible towards our forestry and tiger population in the country but the opposite.
People demand Abdul Khalim with two choices which are &ndash; to present the public of which "expert research" that he found of claiming logging activities are "good" for the tiger population or to take his words back and make a public apologize regarding his ridiculous statement.
What do you think about this particular issue? Let us know!

#False: Logging Not Affecting Tigers Is Absolutely INCORRECT! Says Zoo Taiping Director

Do you still play Pok&eacute;mon Go? Well, I think the game has certainly died down a lot in Malaysia as it can be a bit dangerous to walk around KL especially with heavy traffic and reckless drivers.
But how extreme would you go to play the game?
Well, Pok&eacute;mon Go players in Singapore have now been requested to not go on the quest to catch &lsquo;em all especially at the Japanese Cemetery Park in the Hougang Area.
<img src="https://c.tenor.com/CDABnCTLRcgAAAAC/hold-up.gif" />
&nbsp;
Wait, they go to a cemetery just to catch Pokemon? You got to be kidding me&hellip;
A sign was placed to inform visitors to take their game elsewhere by the Japanese Association of Singapore.

&ldquo;The Japanese Cemetery Park is a site for those who rest in peace. Please respect them and do not enter the ground for Pok&eacute;mon Go,&rdquo; written in both Japanese and English.
In fact, the sign has been up for quite a while now but only recently surfaced when Instagram account @publicnoticesg had posted it.
Haven&rsquo;t been to Singapore and don&rsquo;t know what the Japanese Cemetery Park is?
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643354880/unsigned/yotwmaejzy00kwyeovxz.jpg" />
&nbsp;
The Japanese Cemetery Park is a 30,000sqm cemetery which is along Chuan Hoe Avenue which contains almost 1,000 graves of Japanese civilians in Singapore and soldiers from the early 20th century.
It was built in 1891 by three Japanese brothel-keepers. Initially the burial ground was for the karayuki-san who are Japanese women who served as prostitutes in Singapore back in the past.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643354893/unsigned/jawukquypoybvml1bima.jpg" />
&nbsp;
As these women do not have families, they had died poor and destitute. During the pre&mdash;wear and WWII days, the bodies and ashes of Japanese civilians and soldiers were brought there.
In 1973, the Singapore government imposed a restriction of burials in 42 cemeteries across the country and the Japanese one was one of them. It was later turned into a memorial park in 1987 and maintained by the Japanese Association of Singapore.
It has also recently turned into an OOTD attraction as they have hidden spots with beautiful Cherry Blossoms around the park.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643354916/unsigned/pnzqaasjwi3j0omq35zb.jpg" />
&nbsp;
I don&rsquo;t know what goes on in the minds of those who play Pok&eacute;mon Go but like going to a cemetery is way too much. Plus, it&rsquo;s a place of respect not somewhere to play games. 
Regardless of it, I do wonder how many people still play the game? It&rsquo;s been a while since I heard anyone talking about it too.

'Pokémon Go' Players Requested To Keep-Off Japanese Cemetery Park In Singapore

Social media really does have it&rsquo;s pros and cons. One of the pros is helping us decide or find cafes and restaurants to go and try and who knows, we might just find our next favourite place to go to.
But on the other side of things, the behind the scenes of the food prep can also go viral on media and it can either be good or the bad. Unfortunately for this popular western restaurant, they went viral for the wrong reason.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643342405/unsigned/k5prbwvexrhcz32jwe4s.jpg" />
&nbsp;
TikTok user @roziarrba977 had uploaded a video showing the behind the scenes of popular restaurants. It had received backlash and had since removed the video. Unfortunately, what goes on the internet, stays on the internet as Twitter user @antaintiom had managed to save the video and reposted it on her account for everyone to see the reality of things.
The restaurant is HR Steak House located in Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur. A total of 4 videos were uploaded which showed the kitchen SOP and many had a chance to really see the real situation that happens in that steak house.
If you&rsquo;re someone who&rsquo;s easily disgusted, don&rsquo;t say we didn&rsquo;t warn you.
There were incidents such as pouring water from a pail into a wok, cooked chickens laid straight on kitchen tops and stoves with no plates or covers. To add on to the disgust, someone was seen making mash potatoes in a basin on the floor with a glass bottle and dirty plates were washed using stagnant murky water.

Netizens heavy criticized the restaurant
Many had took to the comments to share their thoughts on how the steak house manages their food and some had evens hared their experience at the steak house. From stories of seeing cockroaches on the floor to huge rats scattering across the kitchen, it&rsquo;s like something out of a horror movie.

Hilariously enough, another twitter user had asked <a href="https://twitter.com/CeddyOrNot">@CeddyOrNot</a> who&rsquo;s a famous food blogger is to give a review on the food and his response was priceless!

Owner of the video posts explanation video
After deleting the original video, the hot oil and water situation was explained.
&ldquo;I would like to clarify and apologise regarding the video I uploaded. I&rsquo;ve poured the water into the oil because it was time to change the oil. That was right before changing the oil. Please don&rsquo;t misunderstand. There&rsquo;s no way we&rsquo;d reuse that oil for cooking.&rdquo;
And of course, even the apology video had received backlash from netizens.

Eww... Unsanitary Food Prepping Of Steak House In KL Goes Viral

Kedudukan Malaysia dalam Indeks Persepsi Rasuah (CPI) dunia bagi tahun 2021 jatuh ke kedudukan 62, berbanding tangga ke 57 pada 2020. Presiden Transparency International Malaysia (Ti-M), Dr Muhammad Mohan berkata, daripada 180 negara, Malaysia mencatatkan skor 48, berbanding skor sebanyak 51 peratus pada tahun sebelumnya.
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643339513/unsigned/la5e8g3ugnnstardpc07.png" /> Sumber dikredit kepada <a href="https://www.astroawani.com/video-malaysia/cpi-2021-malaysia-di-kedudukan-ke62-catat-skor-bawah-50-1945608">Astro Awani</a> 
Pihak kerajaan serta parti-parti politik negara digesa mengambil tindakan dan menggunakan kuasa yang diberikan kepada mereka untuk melaksanakan suatu pencegahan rasuah secara serius sebagai agenda utama demi kehilangan jumlah berbilion ringgit daripada pembayar cukai, tegas bekas pegawai Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM), berikutan penurunan Indeks Persepsi Rasuah (CPI) Malaysia baru-baru ini.
Bangun Malaysia, bangun.
Presiden SPRM, Datuk Mazlan Mohamad berpendapat, kerajaan perlu memandang serius akan isu korupsi yang semakin menjadi-jadi dalam negara ini. Kesedaran yang disuntik terutamanya terhadap politik negara harus lebih tegas dalam melaksanakan agenda pencegahan rasuah.
Tidak seharusnya retorik semata-mata tetapi dilaksanakan dengan cara yang berkesan dan boleh dirasai oleh seluruh masyarakat.
Mazlan juga tidak menafikan bahawa negara ketika ini berada di kedudukan yang sangat membimbangkan, 62 daripada 180 negara, dan skor 48 yang diterima adalah angka terburuk yang pernah dicatat Malaysia sejak sedekad yang lalu.
&ldquo;Persatuan ini menggesa semua pihak daripada parti politik hingga badan bukan kerajaan termasuk semua agensi sama ada dalam sektor kerajaan atau swasta supaya bangkit daripada zon selesa dan penafian serta kembali sedar akan kepentingan Indeks Persepsi Rasuah dalam menjana pengembangan ekonomi dan pelaburan asing di negara ini.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Semua pihak mesti sedar bahawa pelabur asing ingin melabur di negara yang telus, mengurangkan birokrasi dan bebas rasuah untuk menjalankan perniagaan dengan mudah tanpa kos tambahan tersembunyi.&rdquo;
Apakah faktor kehakisan terhadap ketelusan dalam integriti kebanyakan komuniti T-20 menjadi penyumbang besar terhadap kejatuhan Malaysia dalam CPI kini? Bagaimana pula dengan peningkatan jenayah dan kemiskinan dalam negara?
Beliau menambah, ekonomi negara sangat berkait rapat dengan hubungan para pelabur asing.
Pelabur asing sangat berhati-hati dengan kecenderungan rasuah negara kerana mereka sering terikat dengan Akta Amalan Rasuah Asing AS (US FCPA), Akta Rasuah UK dan undang-undang lain yang serupa.
Pada hari Selasa, TI-M turut mendedahkan bahawa Singapura adalah satu-satunya negara Asia yang berjaya mencapai 10 teratas, manakala Malaysia jatuh lima anak lagi berbanding ranking 2020.
Perubahan Kerajaan Yang Tidak Seiring Dasar Dan Matlamat
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643339660/unsigned/bbdz4vrjlvarbubixkmj.png" /> 
Presiden TI-M Muhammad Mohan berkata kedudukan Malaysia melantun semula pada 2018 berikutan beberapa pembaharuan dan siasatan berhubung kes rasuah selepas PRU14.
Bagaimanapun, perubahan kerajaan yang berlaku pada 2020 dan satu lagi pada 2021 membawa aliran menurun dalam ranking.
Mohan berkata penurunan itu mungkin disebabkan oleh pembaharuan institusi yang terbantut, dengan empat kerajaan terakhir tidak mempunyai kemahuan politik untuk membentangkan Rang Undang-undang Pembiayaan Politik dan merosotnya Rang Undang-undang Suruhanjaya Bebas Aduan dan Salah Laku Polis (IPCMC).
Sementara itu, Mazlan berkata kerajaan tidak seharusnya menangguhkan pembentangan rang undang-undang mengenai pembiayaan politik, salah laku jawatan awam, pengasingan peranan peguam negara dan pendakwa raya, tempoh jawatan perdana menteri, dan pengisytiharan aset oleh ahli politik dan pegawai kanan kerajaan kepada SPRM.
Selain itu, beliau berkata kerajaan juga perlu melihat pelantikan ahli politik dalam badan kerajaan dan syarikat milik kerajaan, pelantikan ahli politik sebagai duta khas, dan akta lain yang boleh memberi kesan kepada usaha pencegahan rasuah di negara ini.
&ldquo;Kerajaan harus mewujudkan atau memperluaskan kuasa Jawatankuasa Khas Rasuah di peringkat parlimen, yang bukan sahaja boleh memantau semua inisiatif pencegahan rasuah, tetapi juga sebagai badan kawal selia untuk mengukuhkan SPRM,&rdquo; katanya.
&ldquo;Jawatankuasa khas itu sepatutnya terdiri daripada semua pihak tetapi hendaklah dalam kalangan ahli Parlimen atau senator yang mempunyai integriti tinggi dan tidak terlibat dalam mana-mana kes atau siasatan jenayah rasuah.&rdquo;
"Sudah tiba masanya untuk semua inisiatif yang dibangunkan di bawah Pelan Pencegahan Rasuah Nasional dilaksanakan secara sewenang-wenangnya.
Malaysia secara keseluruhan harus meletakkan tanda noktah terhadap gejala rasuah. Kesenangan ekspress yang dikejar dengan cara yang tidak telus tidak menjamin kesejahteraan bukan hanya terhadap individual malah memberi kesan kepada ke seluruh masyarakat. Hentikan rasuah, kita mampu mengubahnya.

You might be wondering, why has Malaysia been having all these storms lately?
<img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1643337271/unsigned/ygej0vffhhvnktejwbm7.jpg" />
&nbsp;
The Malaysia Meteorological Department (METMalaysia) announced several weather phenomena&rsquo;s that may take place across the country. Some of which includes episodes of regional haze, periods of drought and thunderstorms.
The department also predicts that the northern region of the peninsular will be shrouded by haze and smoke from 26 January till 29 January due to forest fires occurring in Cambodia.
MetMalaysia&rsquo;s weather models had identified &ldquo;hotspots&rdquo; that are likely to significant effect on the country&rsquo;s air quality.
