On Saturday (29 November), it was reported that over 200 people were arrested at a spa in Kuala Lumpur in a raid carried out by Division D7 (Secret Societies, Gambling, and Vice) of the Kuala Lumpur Police Contingent (IPK), Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Department (JAWI).   Following this, 171 of them were released on bail as the Royal Malaysia Police’s (PDRM’s) remand application was rejected due to it being late. Now, 2 NGOs have taken to social media to point out that the raid is considered discriminatory and harmful to efforts in eradicating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in our country. The NGOs involved are Justice for Sisters (Sisters) and JEJAKA.   Source: Kosmo     A violation of privacy Justice for Sisters wrote, “Justice for Sisters strongly condemns the raid at a health centre in Kuala Lumpur by the police, JAWI and DBKL on 28 November 2025. The raid resulted in the arrest of 201 people.” “80 of them are reportedly being investigated by JAWI for indecent behaviour in public spaces, while the rest are being investigated under Section 377B of the Penal Code for allegedly committing carnal intercourse. The police claimed that the raid was carried out due to public complaints.”   They highlighted how the media was invited to participate in the raid, which resulted in a violation of the privacy of the detainees as well as other impacts, including on the government’s efforts to eradicate HIV.   Source: New Straits Times       “Further, the raid is completely counterproductive to the government’s efforts to end HIV by 2030 in Malaysia. Health centres, such as the one that was raided, are critical in providing safe spaces for people not only to exercise and socialise but also to seek health information,” they added.     “Colonial morality” JEJAKA, on the other hand, shared their belief that the raid highlights a deeper problem, the criminalisation of consensual adult behaviour under Section 377 of the Penal Code, which criminalises “carnal intercourse against the order of nature” and can be applied to voluntary sexual acts. “JEJAKA urges the CLRC (Criminal Law Reform Committee) and the government to prioritise the full decriminalisation of Section 377, echoing longstanding recommendations by civil society, legal experts and international human rights bodies. Decriminalisation is essential for preventing future abuses of power, reducing stigma and ensuring that no Malaysian is subjected to humiliation, police harassment or unlawful detention simply for who they are,” they said.  

I find it unprofessional during meetings too.  outside meeting you want you talk whatever you want

Foreigner asks for advice regarding Singaporean colleagues who switch to speaking Chinese mid-conversation A foreigner recently took to Reddit to share their frustration over their Singaporean colleagues switching to Chinese while discussing work, something they found “rude and awkward”. In a post on the subreddit r/askSingapore on Monday (1 Dec), the original poster (OP), a European who works for a global company, said that they had recently visited the company’s Singapore office. It was their first time meeting their Singaporean colleagues, which led them to notice this particular behaviour.             The OP wrote that while their colleagues were “nice and very welcoming”, they noticed that they often switched to speaking Chinese in the middle of conversations, both work-related and during meals.   What added more to the OP’s frustration was that their coworkers did not bother to translate what was just said or explain why they had to switch to a different language. The OP admitted that they found the random code-switching “rude and awkward at the same time”, so they asked local Redditors whether this is normal or if they should take it personally. MS News has reached out to the OP for more information. Locals assure OP that colleagues did not mean to offend them Many Singaporean Redditors jumped in to explain that such code-switching is very common in multilingual Singapore, especially among colleagues who share a mother tongue. They assured the OP that their coworkers likely did not mean to exclude them. Source: Reddit Many advised the OP to politely remind their colleagues that they cannot understand Chinese and ask to switch to a common language. Some even suggested that OP humorously ask them to switch to Channel 5 — an English-language channel in Singapore — or add subtitles. Source: Reddit One user also said that code-switching in front of colleagues who do not understand a certain language is not unique to Singapore, so the OP shouldn’t take offence at their actions. After receiving the comments, the OP later said he realised his Singaporean colleagues weren’t expressing dislike or rudeness; they were simply speaking the language they were most comfortable with.  

A roadside vendor in Malaysia was filmed using a power drill to stir drinks before pouring them into plastic cups for sale. Netizens joked, "The Ministry of Health must be crying when it sees this!" According to China Press, the stall was located in the Alor Setar area of Kedah. Someone took a picture of the scene and posted it on social media with a sarcastic caption and several crying emojis.   The video quickly went viral online, with many netizens jokingly praising the vendor's "innovative approach" and saying, "This is the only way to make it durable." Others, however, expressed concern that this practice might pose hygiene or safety risks.
