SINGAPORE: In the wake of alleged abuse and bullying cases at military university Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia ( UPNM), its new president, Malaysian king Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, has called for an end to the “inhumane” tradition to restore the university’s good name.
At the institution’s convocation ceremony on Tuesday ( Dec. 3 ), he said,” He does not want to be associated with the institution if the trend persists.”  ,
” If the harassment and mistreatment continues, don’t connect my name with the school anymore”, said the prince.  ,
Sultan Ibrahim expressed lament over the bullying allegations against student officials at the military training facility at UPNM. A military student, Zulfarhan Osman Zulkarnain, died in a situation from seven years ago, and witnesses have sustained critical injuries. A Malaysian court handed down a death sentence to six previous UPNM pupils in July for his death.  ,
In recent months, two more cases have surfaced.  ,
Mohd Adil Mat Awang Ghani, a 22-year-old student officer, was charged with willfully injuring his young, 19, in October by stomping on his belly with burst boots. According to the police, the victim sustained fractures to his breast and back.  ,
A 22-year-old UPNM cadet officer is accused of injuring his young, 20-year-old Muhammad Salman Mohd Saiful Surash, in October by pressing a heated gas iron on his neck.  ,
Amirul entered a not-guilty plea in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on November 8.  ,
The prince, who underwent military education in his youth, described the taunting society at UPNM as cruel, reported media outlet Malay Mail.  ,
In his conversation, which was also posted on social media, he said,” Training a military official does require solid physical and mental training but not the point of abuse and causing injury or death.  ,  ,
The Ministry of Defence and the Malaysian Armed Forces are in charge of the military education club in UPNM.  ,
The 66-year-old Johor king, Bernama, found it “even more sobering” that bullying incidents continue to occur every year” as though no serious action has been taken by any group.” This is in spite of abuse circumstances that have already been settled in court, he said.  ,
Zambry Abdul Kadir, the minister of higher learning, added that the university’s two operating system may become reviewed to stop future bullying situations.  ,
According to the Star,” With regards to the bullying instances at UPNM, it may be related to the existing method, which involves individuals attending lectures and lessons from 7am to 5pm, and therefore enrolling in the military club under the military forces,” he said without going into specifics.  ,
Dr. Zambry addressed questions posed by a political debate about how his ministry would combat the increase in bullying at the martial university.  ,
Defense Minister Khaled Nordin announced last week that five UPNM student officers who were involved in three current bullying incidents have been kicked out of the university and the Malaysian Armed Forces.  ,
According to the secretary, the expelled officials, including Amirul, have also been given a pay-out order to compensate the Malaysian government based on the total costs associated with their studies. The choice aimed to assist as a barrier to all parties, he added.
In a stark speech on November 1st, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim declared that his country would never tolerate a tradition of bullying in educational institutions.
Also addressing pupils of the military academy, Mr Anwar urged training leaders to take accountability and put an end to the plague, which he said , has become widespread in the country.Continue Reading
Dolphins will choke if they do not floor for air within a specific time, like people. When a baby dies and sinks under, the family tries to save it by constantly pushing it to the floor, Oh explained.
” When it becomes obvious that the child isn’t moving, the family starts to recognize its death”, he added sombrely.
The family continues to hold the body as it begins to decompose, indicating her unwillingness to let go of the child. This behavior is very similar to what people exhibit during mourning.
Recent laws that require holiday boats to stay at least 50m apart from dolphins are inappropriate, said the group’s chief Kim Byung-yeob, an sea science professor at Jeju National University.
He suggested boats should be kept 800 meters away rather, while other watchers went so far as to say tours may be completely stopped.
Jo Yak-gol, who co-founded Popular Pink Dolphins, a party for the protection of Jeju animals, made it clear that users compete with one another to ship because close as they can to the animals.
When these visit ships or fishing boats approach the dolphins, they simply stop hunting and then either retreat or turn around, preventing them from having enough time to feed the young ones, he said.
According to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the signing of a deal between Malaysia and Singapore regarding a proposed Special Economic Zone ( SEZ ) in southern Johor state was originally scheduled for Dec 9 during the leaders ‘ retreat.
He claimed that the decision was made after Lawrence Wong, the prime minister, tested positive for COVID-19.
Mr. Anwar stated in a speech to the Malaysian senators on Wednesday that:” The Malaysia government ( was scheduled to ) sign an agreement with Singapore on the Johor-Singapore SEZ on December 9.”  ,
However, the prime minister of Singapore informed me next evening that he had COVID and that the signing of the agreement would be delayed until January.
” This is the latest info I have, he told me that he did not want to infect me or ( my wife ) Azizah”, he added.  ,
The Singapore-Malaysia Leaders ‘ Retreat was scheduled to be held from Dec 8 to Dec 9 in Malaysia’s operational money, Putrajaya, according to local advertising.
Mr. Wong claimed in a Facebook post on Tuesday ( Dec. 3 ) that he had his first COVID-19 test positive and that he would self-isolate while working from home.  ,
” First, I believed it might just be a typical flu bug. But I only took a check to be certain. Turns out, I’ve suddenly succumbed to COVID after all these ages”! he wrote.
” I’m feeling good overall, and did self-isolate while working from home”.
The next time you’re slurping up a steaming hot, sour and spicy dish of tom yum fu, or tom yum shrimp soup, know that you’re not really having a delicious food, you’re also enjoying a meal that’s just been recognised as Thailand’s intangible cultural heritage, highlighting its historical significance.
At its meeting on Wednesday ( Dec. 4), the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage ( ISPC ) made the decision to list tom yum kung on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
This week’s list even included, among others, the doing of jung, a meal made of fermented soy, from South Korea, and techniques related to indigo, which was nominated by a dozen countries.
Thailand’s Culture Minister Sudawan Wangsuphakijkosol shared the news, noting that the dish “reflects the lifestyle of Thai people” and is” a dish of people in ( Thailand’s ) Central Plain” comes from rural agricultural communities along the banks of the river.
She continued,” The local people turn local resources into good food, and the locals use local sources.”
The secretary described the product’s flavour profile as generally coming from “lime-induced saltiness, complemented by taste from fish sauce, the heat of chilli, sweetness of prawns, and a hint of natural bitterness”.  ,
Four different Thai cultural heritages have been listed on UNESCO’s Official List: The Khon face party, Nora party, Thai massage and the Songkran event.
The record, which was created by UNESCO in 2008, includes intangible cultural heritage elements from various nations.
It aims to raise awareness of the value of these emotions and procedures, foster discourse that respects cultural diversity, and recognize the techniques and expressions of different cultures around the world.  ,
Singapore’s stalls culture was included in the record in 2020.  ,
But if it was a revolution, it was a remarkably inept another. Mr. Yoon did not appear to have preached much assistance in the military or police. Despite the safety services converged on the parliament tower, the North Korean legislature managed to join immediately.
The whole group of politicians present, including those from Mr. Yoon’s own party, voted to end martial law. But just six days after martial law was declared, it was lifted. The entire situation sounded like a strange comedy.
But the consequences may be significant. President Yoon is already under a lot of stress to step down.
If he does not, he will almost certainly be impeached. South Korea has effectively and peacefully removed a previous president. The framework to eliminate Mr Yoon is it, and lawmakers may now see him as a threat to North Korean constitutionalism.
South Korea’s political stability and progressive social ideals are at play, as its partnership with another liberal democracies. It may surprise him if he were still in office at the end of the time.
