Mattel is set to launch an Indonesian version of its iconic Barbie toy, with the famous doll wearing the country’s signature batik clothing.

As reported by kompas.com, the announcement came on Monday during 25th anniversary celebrations of Mattel Indonesia, which is a branch of the company’s headquarters based in California, United States.

At the event in Cikarang, West Java, a Barbie clad in batik was gifted to Industry Minister Airlangga Hartarto.

The doll was dressed in pink-and-purple batik with signature motifs of parang (tongue of fire) and megamendung (blue-and-white cloud). The outfit was completed with a scarf and accessories that included shoes, earrings and a golden-coloured necklace.

“Today, the batik Barbie was launched, which shows that Mattel is geared toward the branding of local Indonesian products,” Airlangga said at the Mattel Indonesia factory in Cikarang, West Java, on Monday as quoted by kompas.com.

It is not yet known when the Barbie in batik will be available in stores or what motif the doll will wear. According to Mattel, the company is set to explore further development before officially launching the product in the market.

Two Chon Buri residents were arrested early Tuesday morning for allegedly stealing a Chinese tourist’s valuables worth Bt1.2 million (S$49,585).

Tourist police inspector Pol Major Piyapong Ensan said jet-ski driver Rattanapol Sae-oui, 21, and Surasak Intarachote, 50, were charged with stealing an iPhone X worth Bt50,000, a Bt600,000 jade necklace and pendant and a Bt600,000 diamond ring.

The items were inside a waterproof bag that tourist Zhu Jiang, 28, had set aside while playing in the sea off Koh Lan Beach on Monday. A CCTV camera recorded one of the suspects picking up the bag and walking away.

Rattanapol was arrested at Ta Waen Beach at 1am and allegedly confessed to the theft. He said he’d kept the necklace and pendant but discarded the phone and gave the diamond ring to Surasak, who sold it. Rattanapol is charged with theft and Surasak with possession of a stolen item.

We don’t deserve dogs.

More than just being man’s best friends, dogs have shown us countless times that their selfless love for us knows no limit. We’ve heard a lot of stories of dogs bravely rescuing humans in dangerous situations, and in some cases, even sacrificing their lives for us.

Meet Jago, an aspin dog who bravely saved his mom from a snake.

Jago was one of the dogs that Jonah Enriquez rescued last July 2016. Jonah has been rescuing dogs and cats for four years now. She has a mini-shelter in Samal, Bulacan with 58 dogs and 18 cats. According to Jonah, someone reported that a dog was abandoned by his owners in a house that’s up for sale. He was locked in a small cage with no food for a month-until Jonah rescued him.

Like most abandoned dogs, Jago was so traumatized by his experience that he initially did not allow Jonah to touch him. But after three days, Jonah was finally able to hug Jago. Who would have thought that this rescued dog will actually save his rescuer one day?

In a recent post by Jonah on her Facebook, she recounted how Jago saved her from a snake that was about to attack her as she was cleaning the shelters. She said in her post that Jago didn’t stop attacking the snake until he was sure that it was dead. But Jonah was worried that he may have been bitten by it.

And he was. Jonah said that Jago ran to his hut, cried, and laid down within a few minutes, then died. Jonah said that he had many snake bites-on his snout, nose, and neck. They didn’t get to confirm what kind of snake it was. Some said it’s a cobra, while others think it’s a viper. But one thing is for sure, it was a poisonous snake that would have put Jonah in a grave situation if it weren’t for Jago’s sacrifice.

We salute your bravery, Jago! We know they gave you a grand hero’s welcome in doggo heaven. We hope you’ll find all the treats and cuddles you deserve there *sobs hysterically*.

Many people count themselves lucky to catch a glimpse of a rainbow, but they may now have to dispel the notion that the sight only lasts for a fleeting moment.

Two professors in Taipei recently found out that a rainbow may last for as long as nine hours.

On Nov 30, the pair from Chinese Culture University’s Department of Atmospheric Science documented what may be the most enduring light show ever.

The rainbow was in the sky from 6.57am to 3.55pm, a duration minutes shy of a full nine hours.

“It felt like a gift from the sky… It’s so rare!” one of the professors Chou Kun-hsuan said.

Photos posted on the university’s Facebook page showed colourful arches over the campus’ Chinese style architecture and lush greenery, which made for an especially scenic sight.

And there was not just one, but four – two primary and two supernumerary – rainbows, according to Chou.

If confirmed, this will become the longest-lasting rainbow recorded, beating the previous record of six hours observed in Yorkshire, England, in March 1994.

To apply for Guinness World Record’s “longest-lasting rainbow”, the professors are gathering more evidence from those who witnessed the unusual phenomenon on campus that day.
