Following the tragic landslide at a Genting Highlands campsite that claimed the lives of at least 21 people, more revelations have since emerged about the operators of the campsite
It has since been revealed that the operators of the landslide didn’t have a license for camping activities, only for organic farm operations, according to The Star.
The Malaysian Minister for Local Government Development, Nga Kor Ming, said that they will be taking stern action against the operators if they are found guilty.
Nga told reporters at the scene of the tragedy that the operators of Father’s Organic Farm, didn’t have a valid license for camping activities.
He revealed that the authorities checked with the Hulu Selangor Municipal Council and found that they only had a license to run an organic farm.
The operator had allegedly started running the campsite illegally in 2020, despite applying to start organic farming activities in 2019.

A YP thought it will be a good idea to throw away his PSLE results and also burn away his exam materials to make a Tiktok video.

While the video creator claimed that it is a photocopy version of his results slip, many netizens frown upon on this kind of behaviour.

In some cases, it may influence job opportunities and further education opportunities.
Why YP like to make dumb Tiktok videos?
Young people often do dumb things to create TikTok videos in an effort to gain more views and followers. The idea of going viral on the app is appealing to many, and so young people may take risky and dangerous chances in order to create content that stands out. Additionally, young people may feel pressure from their peers to produce content that stands out, leading them to take risks they wouldn’t normally take.
Here are what netizens think:
All fun and games till he accidentally created a huge fire.

TikTok user @huasze shared a video of her friend playing a realistic VR (Virtual Reality) boxing game at Suntec City when things went horribly wrong.
Her friend was so immersed in the game that she ended up throwing a punch at the television screen and breaking it.
Hua Sze told MustShareNews that she was with her friends at Suntec City when they were approached by a sales assistant at a booth to try a VR game.
Her friend then tried the game and everything went smoothly on the first try, and but she later got so engrossed in the boxing game that she really “went for it”.
She threw a few punches at her “opponent” as she took a few steps forward, and ended up punching the TV screen.
Everyone was shocked at what happened and there was an audible “THUD” when she punched the screen, and one of the staff members of the booth (who was on the phone) then hung up his call and went over to see what happened.
Another shocked staff member then dragged Hua’s friend away, and she said that they “screamed so loud” that the people at the neighbouring Shake Shack turned around and stared at what was happening.
The staff then checked on the broken TV and made sure that everyone was okay.
The girls then apologised and offered to compensate them for the damages, but the understanding staff rejected them and said that this was in fact the 3rd time that something like this has happened.
They even invited the girls to come back the next time.
A video emerged online showing an auntie being caught redhanded on a CCTV camera stealing from outside an HDB resident’s home.

Unbeknownst to the woman, there was a camera outside pointed right at her, as she took what appears to be a container and hurriedly left the scene.

The offense of theft under Section 379 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224 carries a jail term of up to 3 years, or a fine, or both.
