  • Chinese Nationals Using Malaysia As Transit Point To Join Islamic State

    Chinese Nationals Using Malaysia As Transit Point To Join Islamic State

    PUTRAJAYA — More than 300 Chinese nationals have used Malaysia as a transit point on their way to join the Islamic State (IS) militant group in Syria and Iraq, Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi revealed today.

    They had moved on to a third country from Malaysia prior to entering Syria and Iraq, he said, adding that this was disclosed to him by China’s Vice Minister of Public Security Meng Hongwei at a meeting at his office here today.

    Ahmad Zahid said Kuala Lumpur and Beijing viewed seriously this security threat and were committed to curbing it in a more comprehensive manner.

    “Although there exists an arrangement between Malaysia and China to combat terrorism through counter-terrorism measures, this problem is serious.

    “This is because ties exist at the international level between terrorists in China and those in other countries in the Southeast Asian region,” he told reporters after Meng had called on him.

    Asked about the possibility of these Chinese nationals having ties with Malaysians, Ahmad Zahid said no information had been received on that.

    On another matter, the minister said there had been no proposal or discussion yet on the issuing of visas free to tourists from other countries besides China.

    When announcing measures to strengthen Malaysia’s economic resilience yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had said visas would be issued free to tourists, including from China.

    Ahmad Zahid said tourists from China visiting Malaysia still had to apply for a visa but they were exempted from having to pay the fee of 80 yuan (RM46.45).

    He said the Cabinet decided that an official announcement on the free-visa measure would be made after all rules and conditions had been refined by the Malaysian Immigration Department.

    “We will make an official announcement at the Malaysian embassy and consulates general in China,” he said.

  • PRC Nurse At KTPH Showed No Empathy For Family By Claiming Audibly That A Patient Was Gonna Die

    PRC Nurse At KTPH Showed No Empathy For Family By Claiming Audibly That A Patient Was Gonna Die

    Dear CEO of KTPH Hospital

    I received your service acknowledgment letter. And regrets i am not accepting your apologies for the incident which had happened to myself on 30 December 2014.

    The past 17 days of my late mum being hospitalized in the hospital indeed had been very traumatizing for us as a family in whole. I had rushed all the way from abroad to be with my mum and stood vigil by her daily on every morning at 0600 hrs till late nights without fail. The hope of seeing someone you love dearly to get better made me brushed away all hecticness, jet lags and all other challenges i faced during these critical period. Mind you, i have to go through the emotional roller coaster and also taking care of my 6 mth old infant at night and my daddy too. Nevertheless faith and pray kept me and my family together albeit all these.

    1. On 30 December as i was in the process of getting my dad the family room next to ICU ward, one of your nurse (a china national) by the name of Cong from ICU unit ward answered a phone call in my presence at the ward’s reception. She probably didnt know i was related to patient she was talking about which is my late mum.

    Someone from a control centre called her up and she can cheekily answered in mandarin, “na ge patient ha yao se liao” which is clearly translated in English as “that patient going to die already.” These comments was relayed without abit of remorse and not an inch of empathy.

    Here we are going through grievances, and your “foreign talent nurse” who had been assigned to “nurse” my late mum passed such a remarks.

    A. Dont your nurses know of words taboo especially when working in such environment? The words i.e. die, mati, se is very very sensitive especially for a patient or their family be it in at any ward. And what made it worst, when my mum is fighting for her life.
    B. How can i be really sure your nurses who had been nursing my m been competence enough to handle my mum for the past 17 days?
    C. Your foreign talent nurse passed such remarks bluntly without considering the presence of member of public?

    3. How i can be sure that she or the nurses there had been compassionate and dedicated their service to the patients without being racists?

    2. On 24 Dec 2014, it was also brought to my attention that my family members had witnessed my mum who was in coma suffered blood loss while the nurses did a procedure on her. There was a pool of blood on the bed and under the bed. When i came, i saw my late mum’s hand between fingers were all covered with blood. When questioned we were told that bandage was not “tight” enuff and nurses had to rush to another patient at a nearby bed for resuscitation. My mum temperature dropped tremendously to 33 degrees for the night. Please iron my doubts below.

    A. Does that made my mum condition less important, hence she can suffer these lost of blood?
    B. If your nurses are competent why the assigned nurse did not ensure that my mum was well taken care first and then proceed with the resuscitation?
    C. How qualified are your nurses to handle such situations? Is there any contigency plannings when hansling of critical emergency in an ICU ward?

    I am truly purturbed with these incidences and very very traumatized when i hear someone being admitted to the same hospital. Until this very moment as i am writing these, i cant help recalling the words your nurse had muttered and the sight of my late mum’s blood.

    This is mind depressing for me and i hate to remind myself that things could have been better handled.

    Thank you,

    F.
    Daughter of late Mdm H

  • Frozen Yogurt Chain Llaollao To Be Investigated By Tripartite Aliance For Fair And Progressive Employment Practice

    Frozen Yogurt Chain Llaollao To Be Investigated By Tripartite Aliance For Fair And Progressive Employment Practice

    Frozen yogurt chain Llaollao has apologised to a local Punjabi woman who was reportedly turned away from a part-time position at an outlet because she could not speak Mandarin.

    The Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (TAFEP) is also investigating the incident for possibly violating employment guidelines, reported TODAY.

    Karish Kaur related the experience via her Facebook page on 7 January, explaining how she was turned away during a walk-in interview at West Mall’s outlet after telling a manager she did not speak Mandarin.

    “Why is it that the onus is now on me to learn a whole new language just so I am able to attain a part-time job at an F&B outlet?” she wrote. “Are we not taking into account the fact that this is a multiracial country and that (surprise surprise) there are people who do not speak Chinese?”

    Llaollao posted an apology on its Facebook page on January 13, saying it was “deeply sorry for the insensitivity shown”.

    Llaollao’s country manager Edwin Ferroa also personally apologised to Karish in an email on 11 January, adding that the West Mall franchisee will stop walk-in interviews for the time being in order to give staff more adequate training “to treat potential employees better”.

    After conducting its own investigations, Llaollao told TODAY that the person who turned Karish away was not an employee, but a wife of one of the franchise owners. Llaollao’s management has since warned all franchisees not to allow unauthorised people into their kitchens.

  • 15 Arrested In China For Providing Adult Breast Feeding And Prostitution Services

    15 Arrested In China For Providing Adult Breast Feeding And Prostitution Services

    Fifteen people have been arrested on prostitution charges over their alleged involvement in websites that hired mothers with newborn babies to breast feed adults.

    The Ministry of Public Security co-ordinated police from Beijing and Hebei, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces in China to break up two gangs involved in the business.

    More than 200 people from across the country paid for the breastfeeding and prostitution services advertised on websites.

    Police in Beijing started to investigate after The Beijing News reported in June that several websites offered to provide young mothers to breast feed adults for a fee.

    Charges were discussed on instant messaging apps and photographs of mothers were provided for customers to choose from.

    The Beijing News report said one website had been active since September last year.

    Customers had to pay 60 yuan (HK$75) a week, or up to 780 yuan a year, to become a member and have access to mothers’ details.

    An undercover reporter at the newspaper arranged to be breastfed for 1,000 yuan.

    The mother then told the journalist she could also offer sex for 1,500 yuan.

    She was quoted by the newspaper as saying that mothers who only provided breastfeeding services would only get regular customers if they offered sex.

    A 23-year-old mother said one website offered a weekly and monthly service, costing 40,000 yuan for breastfeeding each month and 50,000 with sex.

    Some mothers only breastfed their babies once a day, or even stopped breastfeeding their child, so they could focus on the business, the newspaper report said.

  • Murder In Tampines – Suspect A PRC National

    Murder In Tampines – Suspect A PRC National

    A Chinese national stabbed himself on the ninth-floor ledge of an HDB block in Tampines and threatened to jump after allegedly killing a woman in the bedroom of a flat in the next block.

    Residents of Block 505, Tampines Central 1, where the Chinese man had run to after allegedly committing the crime at Block 503, said they heard a loud quarrel broke out at about midnight on Wednesday.

    Madam Lim Ai Lee, who lives on the eighth floor, said that she heard at least four different voices arguing loudly in heavily-accented Mandarin.

    “They were talking very quickly and it was just tense,” added the 41-year-old teacher, who could not make out what they were arguing about.

    She said that the noise continued till about 3am when she decided to yell at the people to keep quiet or she would call the police.

    Still, the commotion continued. She peeked out of her bedroom window and saw silhouettes and red, wet splotches dripping down the ledge on the landing.

    There, the police arrested a 37-year-old Chinese national, who was bleeding profusely, on Wednesday morning for the alleged murder of his housemate, who was also from China.

    Madam Lim said: “I thought it was red paint from construction work. There was so much. Who would have thought it was blood?”

    When The Straits Times visited Block 505 on Wednesday morning, blood covered the ledge on the ninth floor and had dripped to the first level. There was also blood on the staircase landing.

    The police said they received a call at 11.43pm on Tuesday, requesting for assistance. When the officers arrived at Block 503, they found a woman lying motionless in the unit on the seventh floor. Paramedics pronounced her dead at 12.10am.

    Police have classified the case as murder and are investigating.

    Next-door neighbour Fadzilah Hanum said she did not hear any commotion when the alleged murder happened.

    “It was my husband’s birthday, so I wished him ‘happy birthday’ at about 12.05am. He had just came home then,” said the 35-year-old customer service officer.

    She said that her previous neighbours had rented their unit out a couple of years ago, and since then, many Chinese nationals have been living in the five-room flat.

    “There are many mattresses in the living room,” she said. “They never open their doors fully, leaving only enough space for them to squeeze out one by one.”

    Residents said that about 10 people live in the five-room flat. It is not known how many of the occupants were in the flat when the alleged killing took place.

    But they did not think much of this, because their new neighbours kept to themselves and did not create any problems.

    Madam Fadzillah said: “Sometimes, they smile at my kids when I take them to school.”

    Another neighbour, Mr Neo Kim Tian, said that some of the tenants are believed to be factory workers as they wore uniforms on their way to work.

    “The unit has always been quiet,” added the 54-year-old maintenance worker.
