NEW YORK 27 Okt. – Tiga anak jutawan Microsoft, Bill Gates bangga dengan keputusan bapa mereka yang tidak menyerahkan harta berjumlah AS$85.52 bilion (RM356.16 bilion) untuk diwarisi tetapi sebaliknya didermakan semuanya kepada golo­ngan miskin.

Gates, 60, yang mempunyai dua orang anak perempuan dan seorang anak lelaki berkata, semua anaknya memahami dan me­nyokong keputusan itu.

“Wang ini adalah untuk membantu mereka yang miskin. Anak-­anak saya tahu dan bangga malah mereka turut melihat kerja-kerja kebajikan yang dilakukan,’’ katanya.

Menurut laporan Mail Online, Gates tidak meninggalkan kemewahan kepada mereka sebaliknya memberi pendidikan yang terbaik supaya mereka boleh memulakan karier masing-masing.

“Walaupun begitu, mereka tidak akan menjadi miskin. Mereka tetap mempunyai sokongan kewangan bagi tujuan keselamatan,’’ katanya.

Gates yang menceritakan ke­hidupan peribadinya kepada ran­cangan televisyen, This Morning turut menegaskan, beliau tidak mahu memberi kemewahan me­lampau kepada anak-anaknya ke­rana ia akan membawa ke­pincangan dalam perkara yang mereka lakukan, sebaliknya mereka perlu mencipta hala tuju sendiri.

Tiga anak Gates iaitu, Jennifer, 20, Rory, 17 dan Phoebe, 14 merupakan hasil perkahwinannya dengan Melinda, 52.

Jennifer kini belajar dalam tahun dua di Universiti Stanford, California yang mana Gates turut menderma sebanyak AS$6.11 juta (RM25.45 juta) bagi pembinaan bangunan sains komputer atas nama beliau.

Jennifer juga seorang penunggang kuda yang hebat dan sering menyertai pertandingan di peringkat kebangsaan.

Rory dan Phoebe masih bersekolah dan tinggal bersama-sama Gates di Seattle, Washington.

Gates hanya mewariskan sebahagian kecil harta kepada anak-anaknya, manakala selebihnya akan didermakan kepada badan kebajikan miliknya, Yayasan Bill dan Melinda Gates yang membiayai projek-projek pendidikan dan kesihatan di seluruh dunia.

Khairy: Malaysia should stop hosting F1

KOMEN:

1- F1 Malaysia ini adalah idea Mahathir, suka kpd sesuatu yang grand, walaupun kosnya mahal.

2- Dan hanya dapat dinikmati oleh se-golongan kecil elit sahaja. Orang ramai dan rakyat biasa tidak mampu membeli tiket, dan memang tidak berminat pun benda-benda mcm ini.

3- Kerajaan terpaksa menanggung kos yang tinggi untuk menjayakan lumba F1 ini.

4- F1 Malaysia penat buat trophy, dan warga asing ini (e.g. Itali, Australia, etc.)  datang dan mengambil pulang trophy ini.

 5- Selepas mengambil trophy ini, ada pula supporters yang menari bogel, dan tidak menghormati jalur gemilang dan budaya Malaysia.

6- Seperti kata KJ,  kita "stop" saja menganjur F1 ini !!

Khairy: Malaysia should stop hosting F1

Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin today tweeted that Malaysia should stop hosting Formula One races as it costs too much and raked in limited returns. — Picture via Twitter/Khairy Jamaluddin

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 — Malaysia should stop hosting Formula One races as such events cost too much and raked in limited returns, youth and sports minister Khairy Jamaluddin said today.

The minister weighed in the matter on Twitter hours after Sepang International Circuit (SIC) chief executive officer Datuk Ahmad Razlan Ahmad Razali said the fate of F1 events in Malaysia would be decided by this Thursday.

“I think we should stop hosting the F1. At least for a while. Cost too high, returns limited,” Khairy tweeted.

New Straits Times Online quoted Razlan as saying that although SIC had a ‘watertight agreement’ with the license holders until 2018, a special meeting would be held with SIC’s major stakeholder, the Ministry of Finance on the issue of F1’s future.

He reportedly said that F1 ticket sales have on the decline since 2014, and that recent sales only reached between 55 and 60 per cent.

Comparatively, Razlan pointed out that tickets were consistently sold out for Moto GP.

Razlan added that initial reports for the last F1 race showed that it scored the lowest ratings in TV viewership here.

“Maybe it will do Malaysia good to take a break.

“I think the product (F1) is no longer exciting. It’s being dominated by one team,” Razlan was quoted saying.

Other items seized in the operation included luxury cars, jewellery, handbags, and 127 land title grants. Yesterday, the 54-year-old director and 51-year-old deputy director were arrested under suspicion of having monopolised projects under the purview of their department and given them to their relatives.

Penyalahgunaan dadah libatkan pelajar seluruh negara

SITI NURAZLINA JAMALUDIN  |  11 Julai 2016 12:02 AM

ALOR SETAR 10 Julai - Kedah menjadi negeri yang mencatat jumlah penyalahgunaan dadah tertinggi dalam kalangan pelajar sekolah selepas 374 orang dikesan positif bahan terlarang itu selepas menjalani ujian air kencing pada tahun lalu.

MOHAMMAD NAZER MUSTAFA

Pengarah Agensi Antidadah Kebangsaan (AADK) Kedah, Mohammad Nazer Mustafa berkata, lebih membimbangkan angka itu dijangka meningkat memandang­kan dalam tempoh enam bulan pertama tahun ini sahaja seramai 305 pelajar dikesan positif dadah.

Katanya, dadah sintetik jenis methamphetamine atau syabu menjadi pilihan paling popular dalam kalangan remaja di negeri ini.

“Dalam pemeriksaan rawak yang kita lakukan dengan kerjasama Kementerian Pendidikan di 186 buah sekolah membabitkan 5,696 pelajar, didapati kira-kira 84 peratus atau 311 orang positif dadah jenis syabu, opiat (40 orang) dan kanabis (23 orang).

“Kita jangkakan jumlah pelajar yang terlibat dalam penyalahgunaan dadah dalam kalangan pelajar pada tahun ini lebih tinggi kerana bagi tempoh enam bulan pertama ini sahaja, sebanyak 305 orang dikesan positif dadah.

“Jumlah itu adalah daripada 2,537 pelajar dari 156 buah sekolah yang diuji. Kita ada lebih kurang 40 sekolah lagi terutama di Kota Setar, Kubang Pasu, Kuala Muda dan Baling untuk menjalankan pemeriksaan rawak yang dikenal pasti sebagai ‘kawasan panas’,” katanya di sini baru-baru ini.

Menurut Mohammad Nazer, perkembangan gejala tidak sihat itu membimbangkan pihaknya berikutan penya­lahgunaan dadah terutama jenis sintetik boleh memberi kesan kepada kesihatan mental.

“Berdasarkan ujian sari­ngan rawak yang dilakukan di sekolah, kita mendapati pe­nyalahgunaan dadah jenis sya­bu adalah tinggi yang mana melebih 80 peratus daripada jumlah yang dikenal pasti positif dadah.

“Pengguna syabu bukan sahaja mendedahkan diri kepada penyakit mental, malah boleh menyebabkan mereka menjadi ganas dan tiada perasaan takut sehingga sanggup bertindak luar batas,” ujarnya.

Mohammad Nazer membe­ritahu, pihaknya menerima aduan sekurang-kurangnya sekali dalam seminggu daripada ibu bapa me­ngenai perilaku agresif anak mereka sehingga sanggup memukul mereka apabila permintaan tidak ditunaikan.

“Selepas kita melakukan ujian air kencing didapati anak mereka memang positif dadah jenis syabu. Sehubungan itu, kita menggalakkan ibu bapa atau keluarga yang menyedari per­ubahan tingkah laku anak mereka untuk merujuk dengan AADK berhampiran,” katanya.

Dalam pada itu Mohammad Nazer berkata, pihaknya mengadakan kerjasama erat dengan Kementerian Pendidikan untuk memberi kaunseling dan motivasi kepada pelajar terlibat untuk meninggalkan tabiat tersebut.

“Kebanyakan pelajar yang dikesan positif dadah ini me­ngakui bahawa mereka sekadar mencuba dan untuk berseronok sahaja. Jika diselamatkan lebih awal, mereka akan mampu membuang tabiat buruk tersebut,” ujarnya.

Man who killed paralysed mum tested positive for drugs

By John BunyanSeptember 30, 2016

IPOH, Sept 30 — A 55-year-old man, who allegedly slashed his paralysed 74-year-old mother to death, has three  criminal records, said state deputy  police chief Datuk Hasnan Hassan.

He said the suspect was placed under restricted residence in Selangor.

“He only returned to Air Kuning a month ago,” Hasnan told reporters here yesterday after the monthly state police contingent gathering.

In the 7.20pm incident at Kampung Baru Air Kuning, Tapah, on Tuesday, Low Lin Kew was found sprawled in blood on a deck chair in her house by her eldest son.

The suspect, who tested positive for morphine, has been remanded for seven days until Tuesday.

On another matter, Hasnan said Perak recorded a 214 percent jump in commercial crime cases from January to September compared with the same period last year, involving a total of RM68 million losses.

“Most of the cases involved cheating and criminal breach of trusts,” he said.

Hasnan also expressed concern with the rise in drug cases.

“We have arrested 197 drug pushers since January and nabbed 462 addicts,” he said.

KL murder-suicide case: Couple had two other children who died

By Emmanuel Santa Maria ChinSeptember 30, 2016

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 — As police uncover more clues surrounding the grisly deaths of two children and their father in Kepong on Monday, investigations found the family had previously lost two other children.

One died due to complications shortly after birth about eight years ago, while another passed away while receiving treatment at a hospital about two years ago.

Sentul OCPD ACP R. Munusamy said investigators were now trying to uncover if the child, who died during treatment, was physically harmed in the past and hospitalised due to abuse.

Drug addict Cheah Hing Soon, 34, regularly burned incense in a room at their apartment unit in Taman Sri Bintang, to cover the stench of his decaying daughter Cheah Kai Sze, three years old, who was stuffed into a plastic storage container after she was murdered seven months ago. He continued his crazed act after killing his seven-month-old son Kai Wen last month. 

Hing Soon was found dead in an opposite room on Monday.

Police picked up the children’s 35-year-old mother after she gave contradicting statements.

A police source revealed Hing Soon abused the woman, who was still under remand, throughout their marriage.

“She was suppressed to the point she was too afraid to report (to the authorities),” he said.

It was learnt the mother had been sent to a hospital for mental evaluation.

“Police are still determining if she was linked to the murders. Even if she had no part to play, she could be charged under the Child Act for failing to alert authorities about the repeated abuses against her children,” the source said.

Police were looking to extend the woman’s remand order, which ends tomorrow, the source said.

“We are still not satisfied with her statements.”

Police completed taking statements from the two other surviving siblings, aged eight and six. The source said the boys were placed under the care of their paternal grandfather.
