Car-lorry collision kills two friends

JITRA: Two friends travelling to Haadyai, Thailand, were killed in a collision involving their car and a lorry during a downpour at km21.8 of the North-South Expressway here.

A worker of highway maintenance company Propel Bhd said he saw the car skidding and spinning several times before crashing into the lorry in the 11.15am incident yesterday.

The victims were identified as Khaw Chun Seong, 21, from Simpang Empat, Alor Setar, and Lye Guang Shong, 25, from Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

The two, who were credit card agents with a bank in Kuala Lumpur, died of severe injuries at the scene.

Kee Kim Ngaung, 60, who lives nearby, said he heard a loud bang and rushed to the site.

“I recognised Khaw's name from a notebook inside the car and realised he was the son of a friend.

“I called his father to tell him of the accident,” he said, when met at the Jitra Hospital mortuary.

PM: Promote racial harmony

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has repeated his late father's call for the legal community to dedicate themselves to the promotion of racial harmony.

The Prime Minister, quoting excerpts from Tun Abdul Razak's speech at the first Malaysian Law Conference in 1971, said Malaysian society had unfortunately become fragmented and polarised, therefore a “new synthesis” must be sought.

“To replace the communal groupings of the past, we look to other groups to be the new bridge for greater understanding and cooperation,” Najib said in his opening address at the International Malaysia Law Conference 2012 yesterday.

On this note, he urged the legal community which already possesses multi-racial unity and transcends race, religion and political affiliations “to devote your earnest attention and dedicate yourselves to the promotion of racial harmony to achieve national unity”.

THE second phase of the Government Transformation Programme (GTP), or GTP 2.0, will see about 100,000 law enforcers from various agencies joining forces to combat crime.

The Reducing Crime National Key Result Area laboratory has targeted 47,000 police personnel and the rest from other enforcement agencies such as Rela and the Malaysian Civil Defence Department to be deployed whenever needed.

According to assistant lab leader Asst Supt Fatimah Abdul Hamid, the number of crime hotspots will be increased from four to six, with Kedah and Perak joining Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Penang.

On preventing burglaries, she said police presence would be increased in residential areas since some 150 housing estates around the country have experienced a high rate of break-ins, including in Johor Baru, Petaling Jaya, Alor Setar and Butterworth.

Page 49 of the Crime GTP 2.0 Lab Report states that vehicles theft constitutes, to be exact, 54% of the crime index for 2011.

PETALING JAYA: Car parks at shopping centres will be rated according to the level of security it offers and will be ranked in a league system.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala said a “Car Park League Table” will challenge the management of shopping malls to ensure the security of their shoppers.

This was in light of a growing concern among shoppers that mall car parks are unsafe following a spate of assault and snatch theft cases.

“We are exploring the idea of establishing a Car Park League Table that will challenge car park operators to beef up their security and be more diligent in ensuring public safety,” said the Performance and Management Delivery Unit (Pemandu) chief executive officer.

Pemandu, together with the Home Ministry had recently engaged the Malaysian Retailers Association and Malaysian Parking Association to gather their feedback on the Safer Parking initiative.

Six held over murder of man

IPOH: The police have detained six people in connection with the murder-cum-robbery involving a security van in Taiping and recovered RM571,100 of the RM1.2mil that was lost after the incident.

State Police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Shukri Dahlan said police found the money when they raided houses in Kulim, Kedah, and George Town, Penang, on Friday.

“We believe the money seized may be from the robbery,” he said yesterday. He added that the police were still locating the remainder.

DCP Mohd Shukri said a 47-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman were also detained during the raid.

He said police later arrested two other men and two women at a petrol station in Seberang Jaya in Penang.

Of the six people, one was believed to be directly involved with the case while the others were believed to be accomplices.

PETALING JAYA: Four men were nabbed by security guards in a mall here when they tried to flee after being spotted behaving suspiciously in the carpark.

The men in the car rammed into several other vehicles at the basement carpark when they sped against traffic flow to flee from guards patrolling the mall.

They were nabbed after their car got stuck on a divider in the drama at the 1Utama shopping centre in Bandar Utama recently.

A police source said the suspects were waiting to rob shoppers.

He said the car had earlier been reported stolen in Sungai Buloh. Two parang were found in the boot.

A witness said the suspects were loitering on the fourth level of the car park earlier.

The Home Ministry and Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) plans to implement the World Class Policing (WCP) strategy this year as part of the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) towards providing the public with better policing services.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein (pic) said WCP, a benchmarking exercise, would monitor inputs and outcomes of the local police in comparison with the police forces in countries like the United Kingdom, United States, Japan and Hong Kong.

He said WCP would serve as a guideline for top police officers and policy makers as to what should be improved and which key areas to be prioritised.

“We'll adopt the best practices and discard outdated approaches to policing,” he said.

Hishammuddin noted that in 2011, police recorded a drop of 11.1 per cent in overall crime rate and a 39.7 per cent reduction in street crime.

Trailer with contraband goods found out after collision

MALACCA: Contraband worth an estimated RM2mil were discovered following an accident which occurred when a car hit the rear of a trailer and exploded near the Ayer Keroh toll plaza.

The car driver was killed on the spot in the accident at KM149.9 of the North-South Expressway at about 6am yesterday.

He has yet to be identified.

Alor Gajah OCPD Supt Umar Ali Saifuddin Shaharuddin said the trailer was laden with illicit cigarettes and liquor.

The driver fled the scene after the accident.

MALACCA: Police have crippled a gang, including two 16-year-old students, believed to be responsible for a string of ruthless robberies targeting people walking alone and newspaper vendors here for the past two months.

State CID chief Asst Comm Raja Sharom Raja Abdullah said the gang, whose other members were former college students, would rent a car to stage their robberies.

“This allowed them to drive in search of their victims, mostly those walking alone. The victims are mainly from the Merlimau district,” he said.

To mask their identities, the gang members would don baseball hats and cover their faces during the robberies, said ACP Raja Sharom, adding that the members were known to brutally assault anyone who refused to hand over their belongings.

KUALA LUMPUR: Kepong Umno Youth chief Datuk Norizan Ali (pic), 41, is in critical condition after he was slashed by two assailants outside his home in Taman Dagang, Ampang Jaya.

Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said Norizan was believed to have been attacked at about 3am when he returned home from watching football with his friends at a mamak stall about 1.5km from his house.

Norizan had parked his car some 20m from his double-storey house and was believed to have been slashed while walking towards his house.

“We believe that he was asked to surrender his belongings but he put up a struggle as he suffered slash wounds to his abdomen and hands,” he said.

Police believed his assailants ran away empty-handed when Norizan screamed.

Towering above the pine forests of Nepal's Budhi Gandaki river valley, the mighty Manaslu is nicknamed killer mountain by locals because more than 60 people have died on its treacherous slopes.

The world's eighth highest peak may not be as famous as its bigger neighbours Everest and Annapurna, but it again proved with the deaths of at least nine climbers on Sunday that its ice falls and fickle weather are just as deadly.

"Manaslu is a stepping stone towards Everest," said mountaineer Dawa Steven Sherpa, whose Kathmandu-based trekking agency organises treks on the 8,156-metre (26,759 ft) peak.

"A lot of people attempt it before Everest because it's another 8,000m mountain, but it's less technical. Because it's an easier climb, people who want to attempt Everest often try Manaslu first to know what it's like to trek at that high altitude."

‘Don’t dump your baby’

PETALING JAYA: Please do not abandon your babies.

That is the plea from OrphanCARE, an organisation that operates the country’s first baby hatch, to young mothers.

“Your baby’s life is priceless and there are couples waiting to give your baby the love and care that he or she deserves,” said its deputy president Noraini Hashim.

“We have to prevent them from being abandoned in an unsafe environment and also prevent them from dying due to neglect.”

OrphanCARE, whose baby hatch is in Kampung Tunku, plans to open more baby hatches in Kota Baru and Johor Baru by year-end.

PUTRAJAYA: This Federal Administration centre became a sea of pink yesterday when 7,230 people flooded Precinct 2 and 3 in creative pink T-shirts and costumes in support of the fight against cancer campaign.

The “Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer” charity walk saw participants of all ages stroll and jog a distance of five kilometres.

Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Heng Seai Kie and Putrajaya Corporation president Tan Sri Aseh Che Mat also joined them.

Local celebrities, including Avon ambassador actress Neelofa, actor Que Haidar and wife Linda Jasmine, as well as Harimau Malaya striker Safee Sali, also took part.

IPOH: In a bid to prevent crime, the Ipoh City Council has taken initiatives to incorporate crime prevention features in the city’s environmental design.

Several hotspots were identified to be the receipients of these features. The hotspots included the D.R. Seenivasagam Park and Jalan Sultan Abdul Jalil (along the city council complex).

According to the City Mayor Datuk Roshidi Hashim, the features installed included metal fencings to block sidewalks, more street lights and safety mirrors to reduce the likelihood of snatch thefts and robberies in public places.

Following the installation of metal rails and streetlights in the hotspots, fewer crime incidents were recorded in the areas.

“Once the safety designs were introduced, the number of crime cases dropped drastically. We believe transforming more areas in the city with the safety features can help to bring down the city’s index crime,” he said after chairing the monthly full-board meeting recently.

The Council is now working with the police to pinpoint “black spot” locations which are quiet and badly lit locations making it easier for criminals to attack victims and escape.

Party drugs becoming increasingly dangerous

PETALING JAYA: Getting high on party drugs is becoming increasingly dangerous as the components in the cocktail of stimulants have become more deadly compared with the party pills available a decade ago.

A check with the Chemistry Department showed that since 2000, Ecstasy pills which traditionally used to contain up to 30%-40% of its active ingredient 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) are now being added with other kinds of drugs such as ketamine (a type of anaesthetic usually used in animals) and methamphetamine or syabu (a stimulant).

MDMA and methamphetamine are synthetic drugs that act on the nerves in the brain causing those who take them to experience euphoria temporarily.

Chronic use, however, can cause confusion and depression and high doses of either one can also lead to fatal heart and liver failures.

Besides deadly drugs listed in the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, the makers of party drugs also add caffeine as an adulterant or cutting (diluting) agent.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian AIDS Council feels that singling people out based on their sexuality is discrimination.

Its president Datuk Dr Raj Karim also condemned the distribution of the “guidelines” on how to spot lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) tendencies in children at a seminar recently.

“We know all too well what the negative impacts of such practice can have on the lives of sexual minorities, especially those living on the fringes of society.

“It will drive them further underground and force them to live in greater fear of being ‘identified’,” she said yesterday.

It was shame that killed the baby

SHE hid her pregnancy for many agonising months. But when she finally gave birth, her “secret” unravelled in the most horrifying way when she flung her newborn out of the window of her third floor apartment.

On the surface, the infant was killed by her 20-year-old unwed mother. But look deeper and it is actually shame that took away that little baby's life.

Because this almost unimaginable act which took place on Sunday in the Desa Mentari Apartments in Petaling Jaya is an indictment of how our society treats unmarried mothers and babies born out of wedlock.

The 20-year-old, a factory worker, is not the first mother to kill her child in such a horrifying way. Last October, a 19-year-old restaurant trainee also threw her baby out of her second floor apartment in Selayang. That baby too was alive when he was thrown out. Other women have resorted to trying to flush their infants down toilets, throwing them into dumpsters or simply abandoning them.

BATU PAHAT: Miracle girl Tee Hui Yi, who underwent a double heart transplant in 2007, has died.

The 19-year-old, who had survived with a mechanical heart before the two transplants, died at the Batu Pahat Hospital at 10.02am yesterday the day she was to have started work as a kindergarten teacher.

Hui Yi captured the imagination of the nation when she successfully underwent a second heart transplant within 24 hours on Oct 5, with the media headlining her story.

The first heart transplant failed but, miraculously, another one became available just then and, this time, her body accepted the heart.

Yesterday, she complained of back and chest pains at about 7am but refused to go to hospital for treatment, her mother, Dina Bato Sam Bua, said.

Water crisis looms in Selangor

KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor will face a critical water crisis if the state government continues to block the construction of the Langat 2 water treatment plant, water management expert Dr Ahmad Zaharuddin Sani Ahmad Sabri said.

He said the Langat 2 plant remained the only alternative means for the state to have adequate supply of treated water because all existing treatment plants had exceeded their production capacity.

“Without this alternative plan, the people and industries in Selangor will run out of treated water as we have reached the maximum production level. We have come to the stage of requiring a new solution and new alternative. And in the immediate term, Langat 2 is the only solution,” he said in an interview.

KUALA LUMPUR: People looking to buy or sell their vehicles should be cautious of scams, warned MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong.

He said he received about two complaints on used car scams every month, adding that there were 26 cases last year and over 10 cases this year.

“I have many cases in which the victims come to see me after buying second-hand cars because they were either stolen vehicles, had been involved in accidents or not approved by Puspakom,” he said.

The worst cases, said Chong, were those in which a seller would sell a car under an “instalment” payment to a buyer, who would then vanish with the car.

ANWAR IBRAHIM NAK BAWA MASUK SINGAPURA KE MALAYSIA JIKA BERKUASA?

Maklumat yang tersebat di media siber.

PETALING JAYA: An eyewitness of a drowning said she was traumatised after seeing a civil servant die during a training programme for administrative and diplomatic officers.

The witness, who wanted only to be known as Sarah, 30, said the victim, Aldy Hasni Abu Hasan, had repeatedly notified the training officer that he was not confident of crossing a canal near Sungai Miang in Pekan, Pahang, during the session on Sunday.

Aldy Hasni, 35, who was based at the Defence Ministry, drowned while undergoing training at the Territorial Army’s Force 136 Camp.

Sarah said Aldy Hasni was earlier told by training officers not to be afraid.

AES set to get snapping with 14 cameras on roads

PUTRAJAYA: The Automated Enforcement System (AES) is set to be implemented this month with 14 of its 831 cameras operational, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha.

Kong said the other cameras would be installed within the next 12 months and offenders would not get any discount for their summonses under the system.

“There are a total of 566 speed-trap cameras and 265 traffic light cameras under the AES, of which 250 units are mobile cameras.

“The mobile cameras are for areas where there are no facilities like electricity and communication cables to support the system,” he said.

PUTRAJAYA: Enforcement agencies in Malaysia and China have started working on strategies to jointly combat trans-border crimes after both countries inked an agreement on the matter, says Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

“The strategies would be discussed in a working group meeting to be held later this month in China.

“Both sides realise that trans-border crimes are threats that we have to face in the future and we need to be fully prepared,” he said after attending a two-hour meeting with the deputy director-general of the Inter-national Cooperation Department of the Public Security Ministry of China Zhang Jufen.

The writer could still remember vividly in 1998 how Anwar came to meet with a group of students few months before he was convicted of sodomy and stripped of his posts with the government. Seemed to know that his dreams of becoming Malaysia's Prime Minister succeeding Mahathir were shattered, this chameleon started planning a destructive move to poison the students' minds on how evil the government was and to empathize with his fate.

German nuke expert feels Lynas is safe

KUANTAN: A renowned nuclear scientist from Germany feels the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) in Gebeng here is safe, provided the company follows all guidelines.

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology chief science officer Dr Ing Joachim U. Knebel said he was aware of – and had read up on – the chemical plant that had been recently granted a temporary operating licence.

“There is no such thing as a 100% guarantee in terms of safety. As long as the company complies with the stipulated regulations and ample safety measures are put in place, there should not be any problem,” he said after delivering a lecture on Nuclear Power for Tomorrow: Innovative Designs, Safety, Waste Disposal and Public Communication at Universiti Malaysia Pahang in Gambang near here.

KUALA LUMPUR: Police will review the standard operating procedures (SOP) on the use of handcuffs.

Federal CID director Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin said this followed allegations of indiscretion on the use of handcuffs on suspects.

“We will study current guidelines on the matter,” he said at Bukit Aman yesterday.

Comm Mohd Bakri said there were instances that warranted the use of handcuffs for the safety of the suspects and the police officers.

“We will gather feedback from our officers in the field before putting the SOP in black and white,” he said.

Street demos and mooning not our culture, says Najib

KUALA LUMPUR: Street demonstrations and ‘mooning’ are not values young Malaysians should be proud of, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

“Street demonstration is not a Malaysian value that we would want to encourage; neither is the act of dropping one’s pants in public,” he said when launching the Preliminary Report of the Malaysian Education Development Plan 2013-2025 here yesterday.

Najib made the remarks in reference to the Merdeka Day eve gathering here where a college student bared his buttocks over a photograph of the prime minister.

KLANG: Two runaway teenage sisters have returned home after going missing for a week.

Tee Hui Fang, 16, and her sister Hui Yee, 15, were reunited with their parents on Monday night after a mediation session initiated by social activist Peter Tan.

The two girls, who had stayed at a house belonging to a friend’s sister, were initially reluctant to return home as they feared their disciplinarian father.

Hui Fang, in particular, was in fear of her father who she said often scolded her.

Five killed in car and lorry collision

SABAK BERNAM: Five people were killed in a road accident after their car was involved in a head-on collision with a three-tonne lorry here.

The victims were Yeap Chin Hing, 52, his 16-year-old son Soon Keong and daughter Ching Wei, 25, and her two friends, Ling Siew Mooi, 26 and Ling Lee Min, 25.

The 2pm accident occurred when the victims were travelling along the Jalan Teluk IntanKlang stretch heading towards KLIA.

They were going to send Soon Keong to further his studies in Taiwan.

PETALING JAYA: Police investigations into an incident in which a bodyguard of Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was said to have pointed a gun at a group of men in Malacca last Saturday took a dramatic turn after the emergence of a video clip on the Internet.

The clip contradicted the denials by PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin and Wanita executive secretary Maisuri Zainal that the bodyguard had pointed his gun at the group.

Several pro-Pakatan Rakyat bloggers such as Addin had come to the bodyguard's defence, posting a photograph of the bodyguard being apprehended with his gun pointed downwards.

MALACCA: A final year student was almost raped after she was attacked by an intruder inside a women's toilet at a private university here.

The victim managed to fight off the attacker but suffered bruises on her face and burst veins in her eye after being continuously hammered and sprayed with pepper spray.

Recalling the horrifying incident, the 22-year-old student, who only wanted to be known as Chin, said she had gone to one of the study rooms with a friend on Sunday night to prepare for her final examination.

“We had been studying there since afternoon and returned after having our dinner at about 8pm.

Tips on staying safe for women

The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

The three reasons women are easy targets for random acts of violence are:

1) Lack of Awareness - You MUST know where you are & what's going on around you.

2) Body Language - Keep your head up, swing your arms, stand straight up.

3) Wrong Place, Wrong Time - DON'T walk alone in an alley, or drive in a bad neighborhood at night.

Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage: Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor,and in the back seat. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars. This is a good reason to park away from big vans.

MALACCA: A blogger who had an automatic pistol pointed at his face by Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's bodyguard is still in trauma over the incident.

Shahridhan Shaharan said the bodyguard was so brazen and came up to him, although he was with a group of people in Kampung Baru Rim on Saturday.

He said he still shuddered whenever he thought about the incident as the bodyguard “looked very menacing, as if he really meant to pull the trigger”.

Shahridhan said he was among some people who were putting up banners along a road when a bus carrying Anwar and his party members on PKR's “Jelajah Merdeka Rakyat” roadshow passed by.

GEORGE TOWN: The merriment of more than 150 Mat Rempit and about 100 of their pillion riders was cut short when they were rounded up by the police in Jalan Bukit Gambier here.

The road hooligans were made to push their machines for at least 5km to the northern region marine police base in Batu Uban during the six-hour operation codenamed Ops Samseng Jalanan.

However, none of them seemed to be sorry as they could be seen joking among themselves while pushing their machines to the marine base which was about two hours away.

Earlier, they were spotted racing and doing dangerous stunts while being cheered on by onlookers and their friends.

Police looking for three men over rape of 15-year-old girl

TAPAH: Police are looking for three men who allegedly raped a 15-year-old girl they befriended through the short messaging service (SMS) in a house in Kampung Muhibbah Batu 3 here.

Tapah OCPD Supt Somsak Din Keliau said the schoolgirl was taken out to dinner on Sept 3 by one of the men, whom she got to know through the SMS three days earlier.

Instead of sending her home after dinner, the man picked up his two friends and made their way to the house in the village, Supt Somsak told reporters here.

"The men took turns to rape her in the house belonging to one of the men," he added.

Supt Somsak said the victim managed to escape and contacted the police at about 2.42am on the next day.

The victim has undergone a medical check-up, he said.

Supt Somsak said police have identified two suspects and urged the public to come forward with any information of their whereabouts.

Police are looking for Mohd Shahril Kamaruddin, 23, (last known address at Kampung Rebai, Jalan Pahang) and mechanic Musa Shaharum, 38, (Kampung Bermin, Jalan Pahang) to assist in the case.

People with information on the case can contact police at 05-4015222 or any police stations.

PETALING JAYA: Little known to them, victims have for some time now been allowed to state the impact of a crime before the judge decides on a sentence under amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code.

The victim impact statement (VIS), which can influence a punishment, would expedite the disposal of criminal trials, said the Attorney-General's Chambers.

Under the amendments introduced from June 1, the victim or a family member can, on request, make a statement explaining the impact of the offence.

If the victim or a family member cannot attend a proceeding, the court might at its discretion accept a written statement, the A-G Chambers said.

Clogged trash screen at pump house caused Serdang floods

SERI KEMBANGAN: Rubbish clogging the trash screen of the Sg Kuyoh pump house here contributed to Tuesday's flash floods at Taman Sri Serdang.

Drainage and Irrigation Department pump operator Zulkafli Osthman, 41, said the pumps were started once heavy rains began.

“They can usually pump stormwater from the drains in a matter of minutes. But rubbish clogged the screen and water could not enter the pump house to be channelled into the river,” he said at the pump house behind SK Sri Serdang yesterday.

Couple accuse each other of abuse

IPOH: A couple’s accusation of abuse against each other is being investigated after both lodged police reports at the Sungai Senam police station here on Monday.

This came days after three CCTV recordings went viral on the social networking website, Facebook, allegedly showing the husband assaulting his two months pregnant wife.

The videos, uploaded on Aug 30 and 31, garnered sympathy as over 18,000 Facebook users shared it from the 19-year-old wife’s profile. Perak CID chief SAC Datuk Dzuraidi Ibrahim said the victim’s father, who had lodged a police report on Aug 23, just wanted the police to warn the husband.

DUNGUN: When a Mara officer approached Muhd Shah @ Abdullah Salleh and Rokayah Mohd at their home in Kg Gong Pasir near here on Monday morning, they assumed it was about their 22-year-old daughter Hanisah’s scholarship.

They had on Friday sent their youngest daughter to KLIA as she was flying back to Moscow to continue her studies at the Nishny Novgorod State Medical Academy.

But instead, Muhd Shah, 62, and Rokayah, 60, were informed that Hanisah had died in an accident while on the way to her campus from the Moscow airport.

KUALA LUMPUR: Flash floods inundated houses and submerged cars in the Kajang and Serdang districts in Selangor, which were described by residents as one of the worst that they have experienced so far.

TIPS KESELAMATAN KANAK-KANAK DI DALAM KERETA

Tempat duduk kanak-kanak dan bayi adalah di tempat duduk belakang kereta. Elakkan daripada meletakkan mereka di tempat duduk hadapan kerana ianya amat merbahaya jika terjadi kemalangan.

Sesetengah kereta mempunyai beg udara yang boleh mencederakan kanak-kanak atau orang dewasa yang tidak berapa tinggi apabila ia menggelembung.

Pastikan bayi atau kanak-kanak sentiasa diikat dengan kemas dan selamat di dalam tempat duduk bayi atau kanak-kanak. Gunakan tempat duduk yang sesuai dengan usia dan saiz mereka. Tali pinggang keledar pula mestilah dikancing dengan kemas dan sempurna. Ini amat penting untuk menjamin keselamatan mereka!

PETALING JAYA: Many motorists have been installing security shatter-proof tints on their car windows for extra protection in light of the recent “smash and grab” robbery cases.

Tinting manufacturers and distributors report a boom in sales for the polyester films that prevent the windows from shattering.

According to distributors, most of the motorists who sought these tints were female drivers.

Checks by The Star revealed that these special tinting films fetched an average price of between RM600 and RM1,000 per car, depending on its thickness.

PETALING JAYA: Several prominent figures have lambasted supporters of the recent Janji Demokrasi rally who “unveiled a new Malaysian flag” and stepped on photographs of the nation's leaders, saying that the action was against the principle of the Rukun Negara (National Principles).

Tan Sri Prof Khoo Kay Kim, one of the co-authors of the Rukun Negara, lamented the lack of understanding among a section of the nation's youth resulting in misguided acts against the accepted national symbols and values.

“I think the problem among some of the youth today is that they treat the flag not as a national symbol but as a joke. They don't realise that the Jalur Gemilang was decided and accepted by the people through democratic process,” he said.

Perbuatan ingin menukar bendera ini sangat biadap. Pembangkang juga tidak akan serik untuk melakukan sesuatu perubahan sehingga memusnahkan Malaysia. tolong selamatkan negara yang kita cintai dari anasir jahat ini.
