Bantuan SARA boleh digunakan hingga 31 Dis, tidak perlu terburu-buru

KUALA LUMPUR : Orang ramai mempunyai tempoh hingga 31 Dis ini untuk membelanjakan bantuan Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) sekali bayar sebanyak 100 ringgit yang diberikan oleh Kerajaan MADANI. Timbalan Menteri Komunikasi Teo Nie Ching menasihati orang ramai supaya tidak terburu-buru menggunakan bantuan itu hingga perlu beratur panjang di kaunter bayaran. “Sekiranya bimbang perlu beratur panjang, anda boleh mengunjungi mana-mana kedai runcit terpilih yang berdekatan atau beli-belah secara berkala,“ katanya kepada pemberita selepas sesi turun padang ke kedai runcit yang menyertai program MyKasih di sini hari ini. “Jangan risau kerana anda mempunyai tempoh empat bulan untuk menggunakan kredit ini,“ katanya. Teo menasihati orang ramai agar tidak bimbang mengenai gangguan sistem semasa menggunakan MyKad untuk menebus bantuan tersebut memandangkan sistem MyKasih kini lebih stabil dengan peningkatan kapasiti sebanyak 60 peratus. Beliau berkata Kementerian Kewangan (MOF) mengambil tindakan pantas susulan beberapa aduan gangguan sistem pada hari pertama dan kedua selepas bantuan sekali bayar sebanyak 100 ringgit dikreditkan dalam MyKad mulai 31 Ogos. “Saya rasa kerana terlalu ramai yang cuba menebus bantuan itu serentak, menyebabkan sistem tergendala pada hari pertama dan kedua,“ katanya. “Sekarang rakyat tidak perlu lagi risau untuk membuat pembelian menggunakan SARA,“ katanya. Penerima SARA, Amutha Keevachee, 50, menyatakan rasa lega atas kelancaran proses penebusan bantuan tersebut. “Saya boleh jimat duit dan guna 100 ringgit ini untuk beli barang keperluan rumah, proses pembayaran pun cepat dan mudah, mereka cuma minta kad pengenalan untuk imbas dan terus boleh buat pembayaran,“ kata guru tadika itu. Lee Kah Wee, 42, turut menyatakan rasa puas hati terhadap kelancaran sistem pembayaran SARA pada hari ini. “Ada yang kata kalau guna kad pengenalan lama tak boleh buat pembayaran tapi urusan pembelian saya berjalan lancar walaupun saya guna kad pengenalan lama yang tiada logo Touch ‘n Go,“ katanya. “Saya berpuas hati dengan sistem hari ini,“ katanya. – Bernama

Zikir, 38, tindakan tersebut bukan sahaja merendahkan nilai muzik tradisional, malah boleh disalah anggap sebagai bentuk ejekan. “Saya hargai apabila penyanyi baharu berlumba-lumba nak tunjuk kehebatan tapi bila dia ...

Kementerian Pengangkutan kaji teknologi pantau kesihatan dan keletihan pemandu

Kementerian Pengangkutan kaji teknologi pantau kesihatan dan keletihan pemandu

KUALA LUMPUR : Kementerian Pengangkutan sedang mengadakan libat urus bersama pihak berkepentingan dalam industri pengangkutan darat, yang antara lain bagi meneliti cadangan penggunaan teknologi sistem pemantauan digital untuk mengesan tahap keletihan dan kesihatan pemandu, khususnya melibatkan isu gangguan tidur atau sleep apnea. Timbalan Menteri Pengangkutan Datuk Hasbi Habibollah berkata perbincangan juga dilaksanakan dengan pelbagai pihak termasuk pengusaha industri, inovator dan syarikat logistik terutama yang terlibat dalam pengangkutan berat dan ringan. “Kita memang peka tentang (sleep apnea) ini. Dulu juga ia (sistem pemantauan digital kesihatan pemandu) pernah dibangkitkan tentang kosnya sebab memang kena belanja beratus ringgit untuk setiap sekali pemeriksaan dan sebagainya. “Namun, dengan MoA (memorandum perjanjian) yang baharu ini nanti kita akan melihat perkara ini secara menyeluruh,” katanya pada sesi soal jawab di Dewan Negara hari ini. Beliau menjawab soalan tambahan Senator Datuk Koh Nai Kwong yang ingin tahu sekiranya kerajaan mempertimbangkan penggunaan teknologi wearable devices atau sistem pemantauan digital bagi mengesan tahap keletihan dan kesihatan pemandu Kenderaan Perkhidmatan Awam. Pada Mei lepas, Institut Penyelidikan Keselamatan Jalan Raya Malaysia (MIROS) dan Alpha International Training and Consultancy memeterai MoA bagi kerjasama membangunkan serta melaksanakan program latihan khusus dalam bidang keselamatan jalan raya dan aspek berkaitan antaranya Program Pensijilan Pemulihan dan Pengurusan Tidur. Program itu bertujuan menangani isu kurang tidur dan impaknya terhadap keselamatan jalan raya selain meningkatkan kesedaran, menggalakkan perubahan tingkah laku dan melengkapi pengguna jalan raya terutama pemandu komersial serta pengendali pengangkutan dengan kemahiran mengurus keletihan secara berkesan. Menyentuh tentang inovasi, Hasbi berkata kementerian turut memberi perhatian terhadap cadangan penggunaan teknologi canggih seperti sistem pengecaman identiti pemandu melalui stereng kenderaan yang mampu mengesan tahap kesihatan seperti kadar degupan jantung sebaik sahaja ia dipegang. Beliau berkata menerusi inovasi tersebut, ia mampu mengelakkan pemandu yang tidak sihat daripada memulakan perjalanan. “Kita ambil perhatian perkara ini (termasuk) dengan MoA yang dibuat dengan industri tentang sleep apnea. Kementerian akan merumus apakah hasil daripadanya (MoA) dan apakah langkah seterusnya,” katanya. – Bernama

UN warns Myanmar atrocities mirror 2017 Rohingya genocide

UN warns Myanmar atrocities mirror 2017 Rohingya genocide

GENEVA : The United Nations has declared Myanmar’s humanitarian situation is deteriorating rapidly with scenes resembling the 2017 atrocities against Rohingya minorities. UN human rights chief Volker Turk stated both Myanmar’s military and Arakan Army ethnic fighters have operated with near total impunity against civilians. “Videos and pictures show death, destruction and desperation, distressingly similar to images that we already saw during the 2017 atrocities committed by the military against the Rohingya minority,“ he said in an official statement. Turk expressed deep personal pain witnessing the recurrence of violence and reiterated his call for the UN Security Council to refer Myanmar to the International Criminal Court. A new UN report covering April 2024 to May 2025 documents how Rakhine State hostilities have displaced hundreds of thousands more people. Approximately 150,000 refugees have fled to Bangladesh since November 2023, joining around one million Rohingya already in overcrowded camps there. The report verified 1,811 civilian deaths during the 14-month period with nearly half caused by military aerial attacks on schools and protected objects. Civilians from both Rohingya and ethnic Rakhine communities suffer widespread systematic patterns of indiscriminate attacks by military forces. Forced displacement, forced recruitment, disappearances, arbitrary arrests, arson and property destruction remain rampant throughout the state. The ongoing military blockade has severely restricted humanitarian supplies, deepening an already critical hunger crisis in the region. Turk urged all nations to support international accountability efforts and enable urgent humanitarian assistance delivery. – AFP
