Sudarsono shuddered as he inhaled from an oxygen tank while being evacuated from his small house in Palangkaraya on Indonesian Borneo, yellow, acrid wildfire smoke billowing all around. The 57-year-old fell sick after going out with three friends days earlier to fight fires creeping closer to homes on the outskirts of the city in Central Kalimantan province, one of the regions hit hardest by months of blazes and haze. “I wore a mask, goggles, everything, but I was surrounded by smoke. I went home since I couldn’t take it anymore,” the construction worker and farmer told AFP as he was being loaded into an ambulance to go to hospital last week. Sudarsono’s backyard had been blackened by flames, with only a few tree stumps and a cloying smoke left.

At Restoran Roti Puri in Seksyen 3, Bandar Baru Bangi, the namesake roti puri arrives dramatically puffed, nearly palm-sized and wonderfully soft. Made with yeast and margarine, each balloon-like bread has a gentle sweetness and chewy, pillowy interior that begs to be torn open and filled with mildly spicy kuah. Restoran Roti Puri 📍No. 14A, Jalan 3/70, Seksyen 3, Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor. ⏰ Open Mon–Thu 7:30am–3pm, Sat & Sun 7:30am–12pm, Fri closed ☎️ 012-628 1520

Touch 'n Go has introduced a series of Pokémon-themed NFC cards to mark the 30th anniversaries of both brands. The collection features eight designs, including familiar first-generation Pokémon such as Pikachu, Charmander, Charizard, Bulbasaur and Squirtle, alongside a mystery card. Unlike regular Touch 'n Go cards, these come in blind packs, meaning buyers won't know which design they're getting until they open one. Each blind pack costs RM29, while a complete box of eight costs RM232 and comes with no duplicate designs.

Love is in the air, but so are the bills! 💸❤️ A new study by Legasi Research found that 13.2% of Malaysian men surveyed are willing to go into debt for a date, while 59.3% said they usually foot the entire bill. With a typical date costing between RM51 and RM200, keeping the romance alive can come with some financial pressure. The study analysed 152 responses, with many participants aged 18–24 and based in KL and Selangor. The findings offer a glimpse into dating habits but may not represent all Malaysians. So, what do you think? Who should pay on a date? One person, split 50/50, or take turns?

Instead of just exchanging a few words, IShowSpeed managed to hold an entire conversation in Indonesian, catching the fan off guard with his unexpected language skills. When asked how he learned the language, he revealed that he had picked it up simply by watching Indonesian TV shows!

TuJu was never meant to rival Waze, Malaysian Highway Authority chairman Datuk Seri Hasni Mohammad has said. His clarification comes after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim urged Malaysian civil servants to switch to the local app over security concerns linked to Waze’s Israeli ties. “It is not a navigation application like Waze,” Hasni, who is also Simpang Renggam MP, told Malaysiakini in an interview published today. He said TuJu was conceived as an added service for tolled highway users, offering traffic updates, rest area details, enforcement camera locations and emergency contacts, stressing that its real value, Hasni said, lies when the vehicle breaks down.
