Caring cop puts ‘white flag’ single mum in line for aid Posted by: superadmin - 07-04-2021, 10:03 PM - Forum: Inspiring Stories - No Replies MELAKA: Aid has been pouring in for a single mother and her four children after a caring policeman on patrol duty highlighted their plight on noticing a white flag hanging from their house. Nor Waheda A Rahim, 40, said the policeman relayed information to the public, including non-governmental organisations, to channel aid to her. “I had to seek help this way (by hanging the white flag) and Alhamdulillah for the caring nature of the policeman, so much so that many people came forward to provide us with aid, including from the elected representative and the Melaka Chief Minister’s Office. “Thank you so much to the policeman for patrolling our housing area and noticing the white flag at my house,” said Nor Waheda, who works at a stall selling kuih, when met at her home. Nor Waheda, who lives in Batu Berendam here, said she decided to put aside the embarrassment of hanging the white flag so as to ensure her four children, aged between two and 15, would not go hungry. - More -   Installing and Using Windows 11 on a 10 year old PC Posted by: superadmin - 07-04-2021, 08:06 PM - Forum: Computer Software - No Replies   You Probably WON'T Be Able to Use Windows 11 Posted by: superadmin - 07-04-2021, 07:18 PM - Forum: Computer Software - No Replies   Climate change is frying the Northern Hemisphere Posted by: superadmin - 07-04-2021, 05:01 PM - Forum: Environment Protection News - No Replies Unprecedented heat, hundreds dead and a town destroyed. Climate change is frying the Northern Hemisphere (CNN)The tiny town of Lytton has come to hold a grim record. On Tuesday, it experienced Canada's highest-ever temperature, in an unprecedented heat wave that has over a week killed hundreds of people and triggered more than 240 wildfires across British Columbia, most of which are still burning. Lytton hit 49.6 degrees Celsius (121.3 degrees Fahrenheit), astounding for the town of just 250 people nestled in the mountains, where June maximum temperatures are usually around 25 degrees. This past week, however, its nights have been hotter than its days usually are, in a region where air conditioning is rare and homes are designed to retain heat. Now fires have turned much of Lytton to ash and forced its people, as well as hundreds around them, to flee. Scientists have warned for decades that climate change will make heat waves more frequent and more intense. That is a reality now playing out in Canada, but also in many other parts of the northern hemisphere that are increasingly becoming uninhabitable. - More -   Egyptian Ambassador to China: China serves as an example for the developing world Posted by: superadmin - 07-04-2021, 03:42 PM - Forum: Interesting Videos - No Replies   Publicity on ‘white flag’ recipients can be humiliating to them Posted by: superadmin - 07-04-2021, 02:57 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies From Wong Ee Lynn The White Flag Campaign currently trending on social media to encourage people who are adversely affected by the movement control order (MCO) and corresponding restrictions on economic activities to seek help should be seen not as a cause of pride, but an indictment of the government of the day for its failure to provide assistance and support to the most vulnerable members of our community. While we commend the many individuals and businesses that have stepped forward to provide food aid and monetary relief to the less fortunate, we must remember that it is our political leaders’ preoccupation with wresting power from one another, failure to plan ahead and to manage the Covid-19 outbreak, lack of empathy, and culture of impunity that got us to where we are now. There were 468 suicides in Malaysia in the short period between January and May, 2021. Malaysians, who were optimistic, compliant and cooperative at the start of the pandemic in March 2020, have since found themselves out of savings, lacking a safety net and out of options. For this reason, the White Flag Campaign cannot be a reason for cheer or pride. Being in a position to alleviate the suffering of others should not be an opportunity for individuals, NGOs, businesses or elected representatives to brag about their generosity. In an unequal and unjust society, mitigating inequality and injustice is the right thing to do, but is not an alternative for good governance. - More -   Burglary report leads to illegal bitcoin mining discovery in Penang Posted by: superadmin - 07-04-2021, 02:22 PM - Forum: Local News - No Replies GEORGE TOWN: Police uncovered an illegal bitcoin mining operation and seized 149 machines worth RM150,000 at a shophouse in Bandar Baru Farlim here yesterday following a report on a break-in at the premises by its owner. Timur Laut district police chief Soffian Santong said the owner, aged 23, lodged a report at 4pm last Friday claiming he was at home in Jelutong when he received a security warning on his mobile phone that the shophouse was broken into. He said the owner rushed to the place and upon arriving there, saw seven men fleeing in a van and car. “Acting on the report, police detected the van on the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway at 4.30pm and arrested two men, aged 34 and 37, as well as seized three computer components, believed stolen from the shophouse,” he said when contacted by Bernama today. He said the two men, both locals and with previous records, including for drug-related offences, were remanded for three days for investigation. - More -   'What was the point?' Afghans rue decades of war as U.S. quits Bagram Posted by: superadmin - 07-04-2021, 12:00 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KABUL, July 3 (Reuters) - As American troops left their main military base in Afghanistan on Friday, marking a symbolic end to the longest war in U.S. history, locals living in the shadow of the base and in nearby Kabul were left ruing the past and bracing for what comes next. Violence has been raging throughout Afghanistan in the weeks since President Joe Biden announced troops would withdraw unconditionally by Sept. 11. With peace talks in Qatar stuttering, and roughly a quarter of the country's districts having fallen to the Taliban in recent weeks according to one study, many are concerned that chaos looms. Malek Mir, a mechanic in Bagram who saw the Soviet Army and then the Americans come and go, said he was left with a deep sense of sadness at the futility of a foreign presence. "They came with bombing the Taliban and got rid of their regime - but now they have left when the Taliban are so empowered that they will take over any time soon," he said. "What was the point of all the destruction, killing and misery they brought us? I wish they had never come." More than 3,500 foreign troops have been killed in a two- decade war, which has claimed over 100,000 civilians since 2009 alone, according to United Nations records. - More -   Slow vaccination, fast reopening: How Asia and Europe are fuelling surge in Covid-19' Posted by: superadmin - 07-04-2021, 11:18 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies A surge in new Covid-19 cases in Europe has threatened to stall plans to gradually remove restrictions that have disrupted normal life for much of the past 1½ years. Meanwhile, countries like Indonesia and Malaysia are seeing record cases and deaths after the highly infectious Delta and Delta-Plus variants arrived on their shores. The Sunday Times takes a deeper look at the increasingly grim scenario. Malaysia's strictest Covid-19 restrictions came into effect on Saturday (July 3) in most of the Klang Valley, an area of more than eight million people.  But tough measures seen in the past such as barbed-wire fences and armed military presence to ensure strict enforcement were absent. - More -   Flying the white flag was a blessing, says Melaka family Posted by: superadmin - 07-04-2021, 11:06 AM - Forum: Inspiring Stories - No Replies MELAKA: Hanging the white flag has brought a ray of light to Syed Sidiq Abudin Syed Abdul Aziz who has been struggling to settle his monthly rental for the room he lives in with his wife and three children Syed Sidiq, 42, said he did not expect the move to hang the white flag outside his room last Tuesday could move several parties including the state government, MPs, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and individuals to come to his aid. “Alhamdulillah, I feel so blessed as aid has been pouring in non-stop since then and we have been given rental assistance for a two-room flat at Kampung Padang, a project under the Melaka Housing Board (LPM). Syed Sidiq had been struggling to pay RM350 for the single room he has been renting at Jalan Munshi Abdullah here. He said now that his family is assured of a roof over their head, he is motivated to look for a new job after being laid off as a shop assistant at a food court six months ago. - More - Pages (1220): « Previous 1 … 1030 1031 1032 1033 1034 … 1220 Next » Jump to page:
