As its name suggests, only people may provide the sacred bush to collect oysters as part of a custom called” Tonotwiyat”, which means “working in the jungle”. &nbsp,

The Indonesian women go swimming and look for clams in the mangrove shelter. In this way, their garments do not get muddied, which may cause their body to ache.

Any person who enters the jungle properly be fined 300, 000 dirhams to 1 million ringgit. &nbsp,

The women easily talk and express their grievances in this classic bush that dates back hundreds of years.

” We laugh freely in ( the forest ). We talk about issues in the community, the government, and other issues like schooling or health, said Petronela, a single mother of six.

” When we return home, we may express our discourse to the town management, religion or traditional officials so that the problem can be resolved”, she said.

On a goal to defend Papua’s trees, women’s rights and native cultures, the lady tenderly as” Mama Nela” tells CNA how she has rallied the society over the years to take action and get answers.

On CNA’s Bahasa Indonesia website, her history is one of a series of articles about common soldiers. A person who rescues abandoned children and establishes a happiness facility as well as an pet partner who cares for and looks out for stray animals have been featured.Continue Reading

Johor deploys 200 officers to crack down on sale of subsidised RON95 fuel to foreign vehicles during Chinese New Year

We have proof that the woman was able to replenish herself with about one liter of gasoline before being stopped. She therefore refueled with RON97, which is the Malaysian government’s designated fuel for foreign-registered cars, Lilis was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times, adding that the vehicle’s proprietor had previously made the payment using a debit card. &nbsp,

Lilis even praised the petrol station workers, who stopped the girl, for ensuring that subsidised petrol items designated for visitors were no misappropriated, Bernama reported. &nbsp,

Since 2010, the Control of Products Act of 1961 has made the sale of subsidized gasoline to foreign-registered cars illegal. If found guilty of breaking the law, petrol kiosk users who sold it could face fines of up to RM1 million ( US$ 282, 425 ) for the first offense, as well as RM3 million or a three-year prison term, or both, for subsequent offenses. &nbsp,

But, on January 15, next year, Armizan Mohd Ali, the Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, announced that gas station operators who were found guilty for the first time may face fines exceeding the RM1 million cap, adding to the pressure on the sector. &nbsp,

When asked about ideas for foreign-registered cars to use money instead of credit or debit cards to prevent similar using RON95 gasoline, Lilis responded that there was no order at the time. &nbsp,

” The main responsibility lies with petrol station users, they may take action to ensure no foreign-registered cars refuel with RON95, including assigning personnel to avoid such incidents, especially during the festive time”, she said on Saturday. &nbsp,

Petrol facilities in Malaysia are generally self-service. Patrons can use their own jets to fill their personal cars and use their credit accounts at the kiosks. &nbsp,

Now, there is no law saying that sanctions may be imposed on accidental motorists.

The Johor section of the Home Trade and Cost of Living Ministry’s Johor section mobilized 187 police officers across the state in June of last year to help with the precise diesel subsidy implementation. &nbsp,

Amir Hamzah Azizan, the next finance minister, had previously stated that the financial gasoline price for all Peninsular Malaysian gas stations may be set at RM3.35 per gallon, the market rate being determined using the Automatic Pricing Mechanism method.

At 8.58.11am, the aircraft discussed birds flying under the Boeing 737-800, subsequently declared headquarters at 8.58.56am, reporting a bird hit while the aircraft was on a go-around, the statement said.

Airport CCTV film even showed the planes making” call” with animals during the go-around, it said.

Prior to now, the government had claimed that the pilots had issued the distress signal as a result of bird strikes before moving on.

The aircraft crashed at 9.02.57am, slamming into an hillside, and inhaling flames that left only two staff members in the neck section.

The animal strike’s location was not immediately apparent in the surveillance images, which was taken from very far away to detect a flash, but it” confirmed the helicopter making contact with birds, though the precise moment is unknown,” a ministry official told Reuters.

Bird feathers and body were found in both of the aircraft’s GE Aerospace machines, the department said.

The ministry announced that it would perform a split analysis of the function of the concrete embankment, which supported “localisers” for navigation.

The government announced on Wednesday that it would clear the hillside, which experts believed may have increased the potential for disaster.

A Chinese military aircraft “hovered at an uncomfortable level” above the Spanish fisheries company’s inflatable boats on Friday, according to the Spanish coast guard,” creating dangerous conditions due to the propeller wash.”

The Philippine Coast Guard claimed it and the fisheries company regrettably suspended their study operations and were unable to obtain sand samples from empty sandbars of Thitu as a result of this ongoing harassment and the disregard for safety shown by the Chinese maritime forces.

Despite the “dangerous clashes”, no incidents occurred, the seacoast watch added.

Beijing’s embassy in Manila and the Chinese foreign interests government did not respond to AFP’s requests for comment.

Furthermore on Friday, the same day as the event near Thitu, Spanish troops resupplied and rotated without incident forces manning a abandoned military vehicle that was stranded on the Second Thomas Shoal in the Spratlys, according to the foreign affairs office.

In order to assert its position in the area, Manila had purposefully grounded the ship on the coast.

This month, the Spanish government raised the alarm over Chinese coast guard boats patrolling closer to Luzon, the island nation’s key area, and called it Beijing’s “intimidation tactic.”

China refuted the claim, with a spokeswoman for the foreign government stating that the guards were “in accordance with the law.”
