  • Enggan Nikah Suami Orang Dilapor Punca Fara Fauzana Batal Kahwin

    Enggan Nikah Suami Orang Dilapor Punca Fara Fauzana Batal Kahwin

    Tanda tanya di sebalik mengapa personaliti radio Malaysia terkenal, Fara Fauzana, membatalkan perkahwinannya kurang dua minggu sebelum ia dijadualkan berlangsung, nampaknya terjawab sudah.

    Fara dikatakan enggan menjadi isteri kedua lelaki tersebut, yang menurut laporan akhbar Harian Metro, merahsiakan daripada Fara bahawa beliau sebenarnya sudah menjadi suami orang.

    Akhbar itu, yang memetik sumber yang tidak dinamakan, melaporkan bahawa lelaki berkenaan, Mohamad Hafiz, merupakan ahli jawatankuasa Pemuda UMNO di Lembah Klang.

    “SILAP DIA SENDIRI STATUS PERKAHWINAN KANTOI”

    Sumber itu memberitahu Harian Metro, semua yang berlaku itu adalah “silap dia (lelaki itu) sendiri” kerana beliau tidak berterus-terang, sehingga status perkahwinannya “kantoi”.

    “Silap dia sendiri sebab tak berterus-terang, sepatutnya dia perlu jujur. Akhirnya status perkahwinannya kantoi dengan Fara.

    “Dalam perkara ini dia tak boleh sorok. Bukan apa, ia perkara sensitif. Apatah lagi Fara golongan selebriti terkenal. Mahu atau tidak, perkara ini pasti menjadi heboh,” katanya seperti ditukil Harian Metro.

    Bagaimanapun, Fara, 36 tahun, mahupun lelaki terbabit belum mengesahkan dakwaan dalam laporan berkenaan kepada mana-mana media.

    Bekas penyampai Hot FM itu pada Ahad lalu memaklumkan bahawa pernikahan beliau dengan jejaka tersebut yang sepatutnya berlangsung pada 17 September ini sudah dibatalkan.

    BATAL PERKAHWINAN ATAS SEBAB PERIBADI

    Menerusi kenyataan media yang dikirimkan kepada BH Online Malaysia, Fara berkata, keputusan membatalkan perkahwinan itu dibuat atas sebab-sebab peribadi yang sukar untuk dikongsi dengan umum.

    “Dengan penuh rasa dukacita, saya ingin memaklumkan bahawa hasrat saya untuk menamatkan zaman bujang pada 17 September ini dibatalkan.

    “Jujur saya akui, keputusan untuk membatalkan pernikahan ini satu keputusan yang sukar untuk saya,” katanya.

    BH Online Malaysia juga menyatakan menurut Fara, keputusan itu dibuat selepas memikirkan perkara itu sebaik-baiknya, selain membincangkan hal berkenaan bersama kedua-dua orang tuanya.

    Fara ketika itu menyifatkan perkara yang berlaku sebagai ketentuan Tuhan dan pasti ada hikmah yang menantinya.

    “Ketika ini, saya harus mengakui bahawa saya sedang melalui waktu-waktu yang amat sukar dan memerlukan sedikit ruang untuk menenangkan fikiran. Dan saya mungkin tidak dapat menjawab sebarang pertanyaan lanjut daripada rakan-rakan media,” katanya.

  • Vehicles Must Be Sprayed With Insect Repellent When Exiting Singapore: Health Official

    Vehicles Must Be Sprayed With Insect Repellent When Exiting Singapore: Health Official

    The Johor Health Department will take various measures to curb the spread of Zika infection, including requiring all vehicles leaving and entering Singapore to be sprayed with mosquito repellent.

    State Health and Environment Committee chairman Ayub Rahmat said these measures were necessary in view of the sharp increase in Zika infections in the Republic, while Johor was frequented by Singaporeans.

    “The vehicles we are referring to include lorries, public buses, school buses, private cars and trains. This is to ensure that no mosquitoes with the virus are brought into the country via the vehicles,” he said in a statement on Friday (Sep 2).

    Mr Ayub said the local authorities and district officers had also been instructed to focus on cleanliness in the areas frequented by Singaporeans including open eating places or restaurants, open recreational and entertainment areas, farmers’ markets, wholesale markets and so on.

    He said the cleaning works should involve government agencies, non-governmental or semi-government organisations like the Fire and Rescue Department, Civil Defence Department, Rukun Tetangga, Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Corp (SWCorp), Rotary Club and volunteers in the Communications for Behavioural Changes (Combi) programme.

    Mr Ayub said the state Health Department had been asked to intensify enforcement operations on individual premises and construction sites in all areas near the entry points and housing areas with a high percentage of residents working in Singapore until the Zika epidemic there was under control.

    “The state government will monitor all action plans and the special meeting will be held again on Sep 29 to review the effectiveness of these strategies,” he said.

    Mr Ayub said the committee viewed the Zika viral infection among Singaporeans as serious as many frequented Johor while 200,000 to 300,000 locals travelled to the Republic each day to work.

    He said, based on the number, the people of Johor were vulnerable to the viral infection if drastic steps were not taken to destroy the vector which transmits the Zika virus, the Aedes mosquito.

    He said cleaning-up of the surroundings should also be intensified in the coming two to three months so that the Aedes Index could be kept at the lowest level of less than 1 per cent.

  • When Does Zika Reach Epidemic Levels In Singapore?

    When Does Zika Reach Epidemic Levels In Singapore?

    Another 31 new cases of locally-transmitted Zika infections were confirmed as of noon yesterday, including that of a second mother-to-be.

    Perhaps more worrying, three cases not linked to any existing clusters have been identified. The three patients live at Tagore Avenue off Upper Thomson Road, Yishun Street 81 and Harvey Crescent near Simei.

    As Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong wrote on Facebook last evening: “We must assume that Zika is elsewhere in Singapore.”

    In his post, he reminded everyone to take precautions and get tested if they experience symptoms of the Zika virus.

    He said Singapore has been tracking Zika for a while and knew that it was only a matter of time before it reached our shores.

    He said: “Scientists are still learning about this new disease. But we know that for most people, it is mild and often causes no symptoms at all.

    “Pregnant women are at risk, as they are with other viral infections like dengue and chicken pox.

    “The cases so far have been in Aljunied and Bedok, but we must assume that Zika is elsewhere in Singapore, too.”

    PM Lee added that our best defence is to eradicate mosquitoes and destroy their breeding habitats all over Singapore.

    “Do the 5-step Mozzie Wipeout. Let’s all do our part to fight Zika, and dengue as well.”

    The new cases confirmed yesterday raises the total to 151 since the first case was discovered on Saturday.

    Like the first pregnant woman infected with Zika, the second mum-to be is also linked to the original Aljunied Crescent and Sims Drive cluster.

    “Her doctor is following up closely with her to provide support and counselling,” said a Health Ministry spokesman in a statement last night.

    Apart from her and the three cases in new areas, MOH did not detail where the rest of the new cases were.

    The existing Zika clusters include the Aljunied Crescent and Sims Drive cluster, which has now extended to Kallang Way and Paya Lebar Way, and a potential cluster at Bedok North Avenue 3.

    Five other cases were detected as a result of MOH’s look-back testing of previous cases, which is now complete.

    In light of the rise in infections and the spread to new areas, perhaps it was inevitable this question was raised at the press conference yesterday: Is there a number for Zika to become an epidemic in Singapore?

    Dr Derrick Heng, group director for Public Health at MOH, said that because Zika is new to Singapore, we have not had enough experience to calculate the epidemic threshold.

    The Zika situation needs to be monitored to determine the calibration for an epidemic, added Professor Leo Yee Sin, director of the Institute of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

    She said: “At this point in time, we call it an outbreak because we’ve never had it before. We’re seeing so many cases right now and we’re actively dealing with the issues.”

    Going by the experience of Colombia, which had 6,000 cases of infection a week at its peak earlier this year, Singapore is some distance away from epidemic levels.

    The South American nation declared an end to the epidemic in late July when the number of new infections dropped to 600 a week.

    Singapore authorities said that as of Wednesday, two rounds of thermal fogging had been completed at the Aljunied Crescent and Sims Drive cluster, including the cluster in Paya Lebar Way and Kallang Way.

    All drains have been flushed and another round of fogging will be conducted this week. A total of 49 breeding habitats – 26 in homes and 23 in common areas or other premises – have been detected and destroyed.

    Indoor spraying, misting and oiling have also been conducted and daily misting of common areas is ongoing.

    The National Environment Agency (NEA) started vector control operations and outreach efforts in Bedok North Avenue 3, Punggol Way and Joo Seng yesterday.

    As of Tuesday, NEA has served notices on more than 500 inaccessible premises in the Aljunied Crescent/Sims Drive cluster to require the owners to contact NEA to arrange for an inspection, failing which NEA will proceed with forced entry.

    The cases so far have been in Aljunied and Bedok, but we must assume that Zika is elsewhere in Singapore, too. Do the 5-step Mozzie Wipeout. Let’s all do our part to fight Zika, and dengue as well.

  • Saya Masih Ingat Mata Lebam Ayah Selepas Pulang Istana

    Saya Masih Ingat Mata Lebam Ayah Selepas Pulang Istana

    Anak kepada jurulatih hoki Douglas Gomez yang dilaporkan dikasari oleh sultan Johor pada tahun 1992, Sultan Iskandar pada tahun 1992, menyifatkan tempoh berkenaan sebagai kebangkitan rakyat biasa yang tampil mempertahankan mendiang bapanya.

    “Saya masih ingat, dalam habuk pergolakan dua gergasi, rakyat biasa yang tampil, bangkit, mencerahkan jalan,” tulis Brian dalam Facebook miliknya malam semalam.

    Ia selepas cucu Sultan Iskandar, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, mengimbas semula sejarah hitam pada 1992 semasa pemerintahan bekas Perdana Menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan mengingatkan kerajaan supaya tidak mengulangi apa yang berlaku atas desakan tamak haloba dan sikap gila kuasa.

    Baginda berkata beliau yang berumur lapan tahun ketika itu masih ingat bagaimana keluarganya dilayan oleh pegawai-pegawai kerajaan persekutuan, termasuk bondanya yang ditahan oleh kastam sewaktu kembali ke Johor dari Singapura.

    “Bonda saya diarah melangkah keluar dari kenderaan kerana mereka mahu memeriksa kenderaan dengan terperinci. Saya masih ingat segala-galanya dan saya masih ingat kepada individu-individu yang bertanggungjawab,” katanya dalam posting di Facebook , semalam.

    Menurut Brian dalam tulisannya, beliau masih ingat apabila bapanya pulang dari istana dengan mata yang lebam.

    “Saya masih ingat bagaimana ayah saya, seorang guru dan jurulatih pasukan hoki sekolah, dibawa ke istana. Saya masih ingat matanya yang lebam setelah pulang ke rumah.

    “Saya masih ingat ceritanya tentang apa yang berlaku di istana; dan milik siapa tangan yang menyebabkan lebam itu,” katanya.

    Ratusan surat

    Menurutnya, berikutan insiden itu, ayahnya menjadi bahan percaturan antara “mereka yang dilantik ke kuasa dan mereka yang dilahirkan ke kuasa”.

    Brian berkata ingatannya masih segar bagaimana keluarganya menerima ratusan surat sokongan daripada rakyat Malaysia dari segenap lapisan masyarakat.

    “Paling ketara ialah peti surat rumah saya, yang menerima ratusan surat dari semua lapisan rakyat Malaysia; dari orang yang kami tak kenal pun; yang merakamkan sokongan kepada ayah saya.

    “Saya masih ingat drebar-drebar teksi sekitar JB, yang untuk bertahun, enggan menerima apa-apa bayaran tambang dari ayah saya,” katanya.

    Menurutnya, ketika itu beliau menyedari bahawa kuasa sebenar bukan milik pihak berkuasa tetapi wujud dalam naluri manusia yang dapat membezakan antara betul dan salah.

    “Ia (kuasa sebenar) wujud dalam keberanian, keyakinan-diri dan hak setiap individu untuk mempersoalkan keadaan yang sedia ada.

    “Kuasa sebenar milik rakyat,” kata Brian.

    Lucut kekebalan

    Pada tahun 1992, apabila Persekutuan Hoki Malaysia menggantung Tunku Abdul Majid, putera kedua Sultan Iskandar daripada bermain selama lima tahun kerana memukul penjaga gol pasukan hoki Perak selepas pasukan Johor ditewaskan dalam satu perlawanan, ayahandanya menjadi berang.

    Sultan Iskandar kemudiannya bertindak memberi tekanan kepada Jabatan Pelajaran Negeri Johor supaya mengarahkan semua pasukan hoki sekolah di negeri itu supaya memulaukan kejohanan kebangsaan.

    Ini menjadikan Douglas Gomez sebegitu kecewa lalu membidas Jabatan Pendidikan Johor serta menuntut peletakan jawatan semua ahli jawatankuasa dalam Persatuan Hoki Johor.

    Benggang dengan perkembangan itu, Sultan Iskandar kemudian menitahkan Gomez ke istana dan didakwa mengasarinya. Jurulatih hoki itu kemudiannya membuat laporan polis.

    Berikutan itu, satu sesi khas parlimen telah diadakan pada bulan Disember 1992 yang menyaksikan usul bagi menyekat kuasa atau melucutkan kekebalan Raja-raja Melayu dibentang dan diluluskan.
