@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

KUCHING (SEPTEMBER, 23 2024): All states sending contingents for the 21st Para Malaysia Games (Para Sukma XXI) should give their para-athletes who win medals equal rewards as their able-bodied counterparts.

In making this call, Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Adam Adli Abd Halim stressed the importance of according the para-athletes the same recognition, in honouring their efforts in bringing pride to their respective states.

“I would want to highlight that the para-athletes are facing greater challenges than their able-bodied counterparts, and they deserve the very same rewards – even more.

“That’s why we must appreciate and acknowledge their struggles and sacrifices,” he said during a press conference at the Para Sukma XXI Media Centre in at the Pandelela Rinong Aquatics Centre today.

Moreover, the federal deputy minister encouraged parents to support and motivate their children with disabilities (PwD) to take up and be actively involved in sports.

“I acknowledge that some parents still feel hesitant, or lack confidence in letting their PwD children be involved in athletic activities.

“Participation in sports, whether in Para Sukma or other competitions, can actually play a crucial role in shaping a secure future for them.

“Malaysia has produced many successful athletes who have emerged from the same system. So, do not be afraid to encourage your children to be involved in sports,” he pointed out.

Adam Adli also gave assurance that his ministry would continue to provide as many platforms as possible to support PwD individuals achieve success in sports.

FAT-BURNING PROTEINS FROM JAPAN RESEARCHERS

FAT-BURNING PROTEINS FROM JAPAN RESEARCHERS

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

KOBE

A Japanese research team has found protein variants that increase during exercise and help burn fat, possibly opening a path to developing a new drug that helps people lose weight without dieting.

The team's findings, published in the European scientific journal Molecular Metabolism, showed that different versions of the PGC-1a protein are produced in skeletal muscle when people exercise, and the larger the increase, the more energy people spend.

"An increase in PGC-1a expression, attributable mostly to upregulation of alternative variants, is pivotal for adaptive enhancement of energy expenditure," said the team, comprising researchers from Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine and other institutions.

The team found that mice lacking these variants "manifest impaired energy expenditure during exercise, leading to the development of obesity and hyperinsulinemia."

When the team examined skeletal muscle in humans, alternative PGC-1a variants also increased during exercise. It said production of the variants differ by individual, leading to a gap in weight loss even when people do the same exercise.

While drugs that suppress appetite are often prescribed in treating obesity, the latest findings could lead to new drugs that induce or increase those variants independently of exercise.

"Obesity-linked illnesses are a significant healthcare target, and if new drugs can eliminate obesity, it could help treat various diseases," said Wataru Ogawa, a Kobe University professor on the team.

FLOOD VICTIM ATTEMPS FREST START WITH WIFE'S MEMORY - JAPAN QUAKE

FLOOD VICTIM ATTEMPS FREST START WITH WIFE'S MEMORY - JAPAN QUAKE 

Jr_Paku Midin Channel

WAJIMA, Ishikawa

Two huge earthquakes 17 years apart robbed Shoichi Miyakoshi first of his wife, and then his home. Now, his temporary dwelling flooded after heavy rains deluged the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture, he must start afresh again.

Record rainfall inundated the former sushi chef's small two-room home in a temporary complex built after an earthquake on January 1 devastated areas on the Sea of Japan coast.

"It's now September and will soon be October, then the winter will be right here," Miyakoshi, 76, told AFP, sitting on a folded futon covered in mud, sorting through his belongings. "I thought I was finally settled here and would have a warm winter around the next New Year's Day. I have to start over, through another cold winter".

Seven people were killed as the Noto Peninsula region was blighted by landslides and burst rivers over the weekend, with military personnel sent to aid recovery efforts.

Around 4,000 households still had no power on Monday in an area still reeling months after a magnitude-7.5 earthquake wreaked widespread destruction and killed 374 people, according to the Ishikawa government.

Miyakoshi's wooden home was badly damaged, one of the many structures that succumbed to the violent shaking which also triggered tsunami waves and a major fire.

But it wasn't the first time that a natural disaster had brought tragedy to his life.

In March 2007, a 6.9-magnitude earthquake hit the Noto Peninsula and killed his wife Kiyomi Miyakoshi, 52.

"She was the only victim in that earthquake, 17 years ago," Miyakoshi said.

Kiyomi was in the garden, taking a washed rice container out to dry in the sun, when the strong tremor hit and knocked over a stone lantern, which delivered a fatal blow to her chest.

Miyakoshi continued working as a sushi chef until around 2014, when severe back pain caused him to be hospitalised.

When he was discharged, a photo of a young Kiyomi shyly smiling in a red kimono was there to greet him in his living room, he recalled.

After the most recent massive quake hit Noto in January, the former chef spent a few months at an evacuation center, then moved to another shelter.

"I had left pictures of my wife in the destroyed house, but one night, she appeared in my dream," he said. "She told me to take the pictures with me wherever I go."

So Miyakoshi returned to his half-standing house to retrieve the precious memories, which also include a picture from their wedding.

He brought the photos and Kiyomi's ashes to the temporary accommodation in the city of Wajima -- but now, they are soaked by brown water.

For now, Miyakoshi is sleeping in the waiting area of a hospital lobby with other victims.

Because he is frail, he could only bring essential items with him from the temporary accommodation, but plans to return to collect the photos.

"I will see you again when the city recovers," he said, giving a firm handshake and a resilient smile.

JULAIHI : SARAWAK STATE APPROVES RM1.083 BLN REPLACE AND UPGRADE PIPING SYSTEMS STATEWIDE

JULAIHI : SARAWAK STATE APPROVES RM1.083 BLN REPLACE AND UPGRADE PIPING SYSTEMS STATEWIDE

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

KUCHING (SEPTEMBER 21,2024): The Sarawak government has approved RM1.083 billion to replace and upgrade 2,743 kilometres of piping systems statewide, said Minister of Utility and Telecommunication Dato Sri Julaihi Narawi.

He said the project is funded entirely by the state and will be implemented over a span of five years.

“This year alone, we were allocated RM247 million out of the RM1.083 billion. This shows the seriousness of the Sarawak government in replacing and upgrading all of our piping systems statewide.

“Of course, this is not an overnight solution. As I mentioned earlier, we have a longterm masterplan and grid system in place.

“We face challenges such as pipe leakages here and there, probably due to ageing pipes (30-40 years old), and also due to third parties who can damage our pipes while they are doing their work on-site.

“While we don’t place any blame, these are among the challenges that we are facing on the ground right now,” he said during his speech at the 2023 Excellent Service Awards (APC) ceremony for his ministry at a hotel here on Friday night.

He said the Sarawak government, through his ministry alongside various departments and water agencies, is fully committed to solving the state’s water issues.

He added the goal is to ensure all areas in Sarawak have access to treated water by 2030, in line with the state’s development targets.

“It is crucial for all parties to understand the heavy responsibilities we are shouldering. At times, there may be scheduled shutdowns to carry out necessary maintenance work. If we don’t shut down the system, how can we complete our work?

“Similarly, if there are leakages, shutdowns are needed to carry out repairs. Some may criticise the lack of notifications but the reality is that leaks can happen at any time without warning. If we knew in advance, it wouldn’t be considered unscheduled,” he explained.

Julaihi urged the public to understand his ministry’s efforts as well as the departments and agencies under its purview in addressing the critical water supply issues in Sarawak.

“We are fully aware of the importance of this service to the people of Sarawak.

“Rest assured we are not sleeping on it. We are doing our best to achieve what has been set and targetted by the government. We are working as a team, giving our best to implement whatever has been planned by the Sarawak government through the ministry and all departments and agencies.

“I can assure you we will continue to work with strong teamwork to achieve success in the near future,” he said.

MALAYSIA MUST USE BLOCKCHAIN TO ENHANCE HALAL CERTIFICATION FRAMEWORK, - SAYS AHMAD ZAHID

MALAYSIA MUST USE BLOCKCHAIN TO ENHANCE HALAL CERTIFICATION FRAMEWORK, - SAYS AHMAD ZAHID

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

KUALA LUMPUR (SEPTEMBER 18, 2024): Malaysia must leverage cutting-edge technologies like blockchain to enhance its halal certification framework, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.

Speaking at the Global Halal Summit 2024 (GHAS 2024) here tonight, he said countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia and Australia are already using blockchain to enhance transparency and tackle fraud in halal certification.

“By adopting this technology, Malaysia can strengthen its halal processes, reduce trade barriers and align with global standards.

“This strategic move will boost consumer confidence and solidify Malaysia’s position as a leading global halal hub,” said Ahmad Zahid.

Also present was Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also Halal Industry Development Council chairman, said investing in the training of a new generation of halal certification professionals is essential, as the halal economy continues to expand.

With increasing global demand, he said expanding the pool of qualified experts is crucial to upholding the highest standards of authenticity and integrity.

While Jakim remains central in guiding this transition, Ahmad Zahid said an enhanced regulatory framework will help manage rising demand efficiently, streamline certification processes and maintain consistent, reliable halal practices.

Meanwhile, he said halal certification is fundamentally built on trust, transparency and confidence, traits that are essential for an institution like Jakim, which plays an important role in this process.

While Jakim’s efforts to enhance halal certification and regulations are commendable, he said the rapid expansion of the halal economy commands a robust regulatory and governance framework.

“Though, the ultimate authority over halal certification rests with Jakim and the State Islamic Religious Departments, as entrusted by the Conference of Rulers, there is always a room to elevate this governance structure to keep pace with the fast-evolving halal landscape,” he said.

Furthermore he said Malaysia’s unwavering commitment to enhancing the halal ecosystem underscores the country’s dedication to excellence in halal certification.

Ahmad Zahid said as Malaysia celebrates 50 years of pioneering journey in the halal industry, it is also crucial to recognise the contributions of those who have championed halal practices, driven innovation and ensured compliance with Syariah laws.

LOWERED ADULT AGE SEES RISE IN YOUNG JAPANESE STRUGGLING WITH DEBT - TAKAMATSU JAPAN

LOWERED ADULT AGE SEES RISE IN YOUNG JAPANESE STRUGGLING WITH DEBT - TAKAMATSU JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TAKAMATSU

One feared consequence of Japan's lowering of the age of adulthood to 18 in 2022 appears to have come true -- a rise in young people getting into difficulties with debt.

With personal bankruptcy occurring as early as 19, government agencies are doubling efforts to raise public awareness about the issue. Consumer affairs experts, meanwhile, warn that cases thus far are likely to be only the tip of the iceberg.

The lowering of the age of adulthood from 20 allowed 18- and 19-year-olds to sign consumer loan contracts and apply for credit cards without parental consent.

According to the National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan, the number of consultations about multiple debts was the highest in the past 10 years in fiscal 2023 for both teens and those in their 20s.

The rise among teens was particularly striking, nearly doubling to 175 cases through March this year from 90 cases in fiscal 2021 before the change in the definition of an adult.

When a 20-year-old man living in a support facility in the Chugoku-Shikoku region for youth unable to live at home was asked why he had obtained a credit card, he told a facility staff member that he had simply wondered whether he could do so and was issued one over the internet.

He got the card in the spring of 2022, right after turning 18. Despite not holding down a steady job, he went out socializing more often and also signed up for seven new smartphones that he intended to resell.

After racking up debts of about 1.5 million yen, he sought help from the Tokyo-based Japan Legal Support Center and completed bankruptcy proceedings at the age of 19.

"We will no doubt witness more instances of the personal bankruptcies of our residents," an official of the housing facility said.

The official said the majority of residents at the facility have not developed good spending habits or attitudes to financial planning due to troubled family circumstances such as abuse and poverty as well as developmental issues.

The man who filed for bankruptcy was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as a child and abused by his mother, the official said.

Knowledge is crucial to circumnavigate consumer trouble, experts stress.

To coincide with the lowering of the age of adulthood, juvenile reformatories across the country have introduced programs designed to help residents 18 and older to become financially independent. Legal education on contracts and the problems that might occur because of them are provided.

Kunitaka Matsumoto, a JSLC lawyer in Kagawa Prefecture in western Japan, said, "We are considering legal consultations and lectures specifically for the younger generation" about signing contracts on their own.

Consumer affairs lawyers note that debt problems can be resolved if people seek advice as early as possible.

Takashi Kobayashi, vice chair of the consumer affairs committee at the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, said that the number of young people declaring bankruptcies will only rise further.

In the worst-case scenario, some young people may try to take their own lives, he said, urging them to "rely on public organizations such as bar associations, the JSLC and consumer affairs centers before debts become too large."
