VIRAL: SUSPEK KES BUNUH ZARA QAIRINA AKAN DITUDUH (SEMOGA PEMBALASAN SETIMPAL)  - KUALA LUMPUR  

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

KUALA LUMPUR: Jabatan Peguam Negara (AGC) memutuskan untuk menuduh beberapa suspek yang terbabit dalam kes buli Zara Qairina Mahathir.

Peguam Negara, Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar berkata, keputusan itu dibuat berdasarkan kepada keterangan yang ada hasil penelitian kertas siasatan yang dirujuk oleh Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) berhubung kes kematian pelajar berusia 13 tahun itu.

Bagaimanapun, AGC tidak mendedahkan sebarang identiti mengenai suspek-suspek yang akan dituduh.

"Keputusan untuk menuduh suspek-suspek bagi kesalahan buli berkenaan dibuat memandangkan pertuduhan tersebut tidak akan mengganggu proses inkues yang akan berjalan.

"Jabatan ini menegaskan bahawa walaupun keputusan untuk menuduh suspek-supek bagi kesalahan buli dibuat, namun keputusan tersebut tidak akan menjejaskan siasatan yang masih dijalankan oleh PDRM berhubung kes kematian Zara Qairina, termasuk prosiding inkues yang akan dijalankan mahkamah," katanya melalui kenyataan media.

Terdahulu, Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, memaklumkan polis sudah menyerahkan kertas siasatan berkaitan kematian Zara Qairina kepada AGC pagi tadi untuk meneruskan proses seterusnya.

Beliau berkata, kertas siasatan itu diserahkan selepas soal siasat terhadap 195 saksi dibuat.

Hari ini, Mahkamah Koroner Kota Kinabalu menetapkan bulan depan untuk prosiding inkues berhubung kematian pelajar itu, yang akan menentukan sama ada terdapat unsur jenayah yang membawa kepada kematiannya.

Ia susulan arahan daripada AGC supaya inkues dijalankan terhadap kematian Zara Qairina, susulan laporan siasatan yang dikemukakan PDRM sebelum itu.

Rabu lalu, Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah (JSJ) Bukit Aman, Datuk M Kumar, berkata siasatan pasukan petugas khas berhubung kematian Zara Qairina menjurus ke arah berlakunya buli sebelum kejadian.

Katanya, ia hasil keterangan yang dirakamkan dan dapatan siasatan setakat ini, dan susulan itu satu kertas siasatan dibuka mengikut Seksyen 507D (2) Kanun Keseksaan untuk siasatan lanjut.

Khamis lalu, peguam mewakili keluarga Zara Qairina mencadangkan AGC mendakwa individu yang terbabit dalam perbuatan buli, berdasarkan keterangan yang diberikan kepada polis berkaitan kes kematiannya.

Zara Qairina disahkan meninggal dunia di Hospital Queen Elizabeth I di Kota Kinabalu pada 17 Julai lalu.

Terdahulu, dia dimasukkan ke hospital selepas dijumpai dalam keadaan tidak sedarkan diri longkang berhampiran asrama Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Tun Datu Mustapha di Papar pada jam 4 pagi, 16 Julai.

Kematian Zara Qairina mencetuskan perhatian meluas susulan dakwaan berlaku insiden buli membabitkan pelajar senior di sekolah berkenaan.

Pada 8 Ogos, AGC mengarahkan pihak berkuasa menggali semula kubur Zara Qairina bagi membolehkan prosedur bedah siasat dijalankan ke atas jenazahnya.

Pada 9 Ogos, kubur Zara Qairina di Tanah Perkuburan Islam Tanjung Ubi, Kampung Mesapol, Sipitang digali semula dan jenazah dibawa ke Hospital Queen Elizabeth I untuk proses bedah siasat, sebelum selamat dikebumikan semula pada awal pagi keesokannya di tanah perkuburan sama.

"Proses ini akan dikendalikan di Mahkamah Koroner secara bebas dan telus mengikut peruntukan undang-undang," kata kenyataan itu.

DEER POPULATION IN NARA PARK HITS RECORD HIGH; VISITO INJURIES INCREASE - NARA JAPAN

DEER POPULATION IN NARA PARK HITS RECORD HIGH; VISITO INJURIES INCREASE - NARA JAPAN 

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

NARA

A deer preservation group in western Japan revealed Wednesday that the deer population in Nara Park, a tourist site, has increased for four consecutive years, reaching a record-high 1,465.

Injuries caused by the deer have also increased at the park, where visitors are allowed to feed the animals digestive and sugar-free crackers sold in nearby shops, according to the Nara prefectural government, which has begun warning tourists in multiple languages.

In a visual survey conducted by the Nara Deer Preservation Foundation in July, employing the same method used since 1953, staff counted the deer in the park, excluding restricted areas.

The group counted 315 adult males, 816 does and 334 fawns, with the total exceeding the previous year by 140 and the previous record of 1,388 in 2019. It said the deer population decreased in 2020 and 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The group cited the high number of fawns as the reason for the record-high population this year.

The prefectural government said injuries to visitors interacting with the deer have been on the rise since fiscal 2021, with 159 cases in fiscal 2024, of which 111 involved foreign tourists. It said excessive touching of the deer while taking photos and teasing them by withholding crackers have been linked to the injuries.

The prefectural government and related organizations have been distributing pamphlets in Japanese, English and Chinese requesting that tourists at Nara Park not touch the deer or provoke the animals, ahead of the mating season in late August.

"The deer in Nara Park are gentle and accustomed to humans, so it's easy to forget that they are wild animals," said Shu Ishikawa from the preservation group, adding he hopes visitors keep in mind that they are entering the habitat of the deer when they visit the park.

JAPAN VOWS UP TO $550 MILLIONS FOR VACCINES FOR CHILDREN IN DEVELOPING NATIONS - TOKYO JAPAN

JAPAN VOWS UP TO $550 MILLIONS FOR VACCINES FOR CHILDREN IN DEVELOPING NATIONS - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba pledged Tuesday that Japan will contribute up to $550 million over the next five years to an organization responsible for supplying vaccines to children in developing countries, a lawmaker said.

Ishiba conveyed the plan during a meeting at his office with Microsoft Corp founder Bill Gates, a supporter of the international organization, according to Tetsuo Saito, head of the Komeito party, who attended the gathering.

The contribution is expected to be officially announced at the Tokyo International Conference on African Development, or TICAD, scheduled to be held in Yokohama for three days from Wednesday, as Japan seeks to bolster ties with resource-rich emerging nations.

In Tuesday's meeting, Ishiba was quoted by Saito as expressing respect for Gates' efforts in the field of global health, saying Japan also intends to make a solid contribution. Komeito is the junior coalition partner of Ishiba's Liberal Democratic Party.

JAPAN EYES ADDRESSING POSSIBLE MISTREATMENT OF CERTAIN VISA WORKERS - TOKYO JAPAN

JAPAN EYES ADDRESSING POSSIBLE MISTREATMENT OF CERTAIN VISA WORKERS - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

Japan's immigration agency plans to step up efforts to address the potential mistreatment of foreign nationals holding certain visas and employed through temporary staffing agencies, finding some have been inappropriately assigned to menial labor, a source familiar with the matter said Saturday.

The Immigration Services Agency plans to examine the working conditions of foreigners holding the visa supposedly for engineers and specialists in humanities and international services -- a visa that allows them to work in Japan for a long period of time as there are no limits in seeking extensions.

A record-high 410,000 foreign nationals in Japan had been given the visa as of the end of 2024. Some 10 percent appear to be contracted to dispatch firms, part of a growing trend, with many of them engaging in jobs such as interpreting and production management.

The visa requires the holder to have achieved certain educational qualifications, such as graduating from a university in their home country, and in principle only allows them to engage in highly professional jobs.

But the agency has found cases in which temporary staffing companies told clients that such workers can perform duties outside their field of specialism, leading them to be engaged in menial tasks.

The immigration agency said it will look into whether there are additional cases and take steps to raise awareness of the problem, according to the source.

If the situation does not improve, the agency is considering obliging foreign workers to report when they are assigned to a different company during their residency period.

A group supporting foreigners has also pointed to a rise in complaints that temporary staffing agencies do not offer jobs.

The agency, meanwhile, is considering tightening conditions for the business manager visa that is intended to support start-ups, after individuals applying with shell companies were approved.

It may raise the required minimum capital from 5 million yen to 30 million yen, the source said.

PRICIER TICKETS FOR FIREWORKS, THEME PARKS TEST SUMMER HOLIDAYMAKERS - TOKYO JAPAN

PRICIER TICKETS FOR FIREWORKS, THEME PARKS TEST SUMMER HOLIDAYMAKERS - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

The scorching summer heat may be forcing some holiday goers to rethink their vacation plans, but leisure businesses have shown no hesitation in raising ticket prices for those seeking assurance of quality time.

About 80 percent of the 106 fireworks festivals surveyed in Japan offer paid seats this year, with the average "premium" ticket fee, which promises nice viewing and seating along with other luxury features, jumping 7.2 percent from a year earlier to 36,193 yen per seat, with some over 50,000 yen, according to research firm Teikoku Databank.

That compares with the average 5,227 yen for a regular reserved seat, up 1.8 percent from a year ago, meaning that premium seating costs about seven times more than regular seating, the biggest difference since 2019 when comparable data became available.

The highest-priced ticket in the survey was 120,000 yen for a table of four, or 30,000 yen per person for about an hour-long event.

The increases reflect the broader trend of inflation in Japan, partly because more organizers are passing on running costs, such as those for pricier fireworks and the hiring of security staff.

The trend can also indicate how people choose to spend money. Some surveys point to spending patterns more "polarized," with people willing to pay more for leisure activities or experiences while remaining frugal when buying daily necessities.

Leisure facilities are also hiking ticket prices, adopting dynamic-pricing, a strategy in which prices fluctuate according to demand. In a high season, for instance, prices may go up to maximize profits.

Entry tickets for amusement and theme parks, zoos and aquariums in Japan rose 4.2 percent from a year earlier to an average 1,695 yen. On average, unlimited passes to amusement and theme parks marked the biggest increase of 5.4 percent over the year to 4,846 yen, according to a separate survey by Teikoku Databank.

Among one-day passes, Universal Studios Japan in Osaka sells the priciest at 11,900 yen.

Rising ticket fees can still risk scaring some potential visitors away when wage growth is canceled out by inflation.

The operator of Tokyo Disney Resort, one of the most popular entertainment facilities, has said it is considering a review of ticket prices. At present, one-day ticket prices fluctuate depending on the day and season, ranging from 7,900 yen to 10,900 yen per adult.

Police in Iwakura City, Aichi Prefecture, have arrested a 22-year-old man on suspicion of killing a 56-year-old man at his apartment.

NOWADAYS BUGS ARE POPULAR PETS IN JAPAN, BUZZING WITH LESSONS ABOUT ECOLOGY AND SPECIES - TOKYO JAPAN

NOWADAYS BUGS ARE POPULAR PETS IN JAPAN, BUZZING WITH LESSONS ABOUT ECOLOGY AND SPECIES  - TOKYO JAPAN  

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYOThe pet of choice in Japan, as much as cuddly kitties and playful puppies, is the humble bug.

The bug has been a key part of Japanese culture from the Heian era classic “The Tale of Genji” to popular modern-day manga and animation like “Mushishi,” featuring insect-like supernatural creatures.

Japanese people appreciate the glitter of fireflies let loose in the garden or the gentle chirping of crickets kept in a little cage. You can feed the bug pets watermelon, but special jelly pet food for bugs is also available at stores. Naturally, bugs are on sale as well, with the more esoteric ones selling for 20,000 yen.

Here, crawly and buzzing critters are not just relegated to the scientific realm of the entomologist working on a taxidermy of pinned butterflies. Celebrities boast about their fascination with bug-hunting as their hobbies just like a western movie star might talk about his yacht or golf score.

The bug as companion is an essential part of what’s observed, enjoyed and cared for in everyday life, reflecting a deeply rooted celebration of humankind’s oneness with nature.

“They are so tiny. If you catch and study them, you’re sure to discover something new,” says Munetoshi Maruyama, professor of bioenvironmental sciences at Kyushu University, whose fascination with bugs began as a child, like many Japanese.

“They are so beautiful in shape and form.”

One thrill that comes from studying insects is discovering a new species, simply because there are more than 1.2 million known kinds of insects, far more than mammals, which translates to a lot of undiscovered ones, said Maruyama, who has discovered 250 new insect species himself and shrugs that off as a relatively small number.

Japan differs from much of the West in encouraging interaction with bugs from childhood, with lots of books written for children, as well as classes and tours.

“In Japan, kids love bugs. You can even buy a net at a convenience store,” he said. “It’s fantastic that bugs can serve as a doorway to science.”

The fact some insects go through metamorphoses, transforming from a larva to a butterfly, for instance, adds to the excitement, allowing kids to observe the stages of a life span, Maruyama said.

Tracing the movement of bugs can be a way to study global warming, too, while so-called “social insects,” like bees and ants show intelligence in how they communicate, remember routes to find their way back to their nests or burrow elaborate underground paths as colonies.

Because bugs carry out important functions in the ecosystem, such as pollinating crops and becoming food for birds and other wildlife, human life isn’t ultimately sustainable if all bugs were to disappear from earth.

The love affair with bugs was clear at an exhibit in Tokyo, aptly called “The Great Insect Exhibition,” running through the end of this month at the Sky Tree Tower, where crowds of children gathered around trees inside indoor cages so they could observe and touch the various beetles.

One kind of rhinoceros beetle known as Hercules, which originated in the Caribbean but is now also found in Japan, is reputed to be the biggest beetle on record, although it’s just several inches in length. Its back coat is a shiny khaki color, though such shades change depending on the season. The other parts, like its horn and delicate but spiky legs, are dark.

“We want the kids to feel the emotions and joy of actually touching the insects here. That’s really positive for the workings of a child’s brain,” said Toyoji Suzuki, one of the event’s organizers, who insisted everyone, including adults, touch the bottom of the beetles’ horns and wings to feel how surprisingly soft and fluffy they are.

Four-year-old Asahi Yamauchi, who was at the exhibit with his grandmother and getting his photo taken inside a special installation that made it look like he was inside a beetle, loves bugs as much as he loves dinosaurs and has what he called a cute beetle as a pet at home.

“My friend had one so I wanted one,” he said.

TEAM PULLS OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP AMID ABUSE CLAIMS - TOKYO JAPAN

TEAM PULLS OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP AMID ABUSE CLAIMS - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

A high school baseball team has withdrawn from one of Japan's most popular national tournaments, the school's principal said Sunday, amid social media controversy over reports of abuse.

The Koryo High School team's withdrawal from the annual summer national high school baseball championship follows revelations that the event's national body issued a severe reprimand in March over a case in which four students physically abused a younger boy at a dormitory in January.

Principal Masakazu Hori said with further allegations circulating on social media and students targeted by online attacks, the decision was made with "protecting the lives of students, teachers and local people as our greatest priority."

Employees at the school in Hiroshima have been targeted online amid the claims, which include allegations of abuse by coaching staff and a bomb threat made to a dormitory.

According to the school, police are investigating the January incident after the victim filed a complaint, and a third-party committee is examining new allegations from a former member.

Hori expressed "deep regret" over the situation. The school has said it plans a fundamental review of the baseball team, with head coach Tetsuyuki Nakai relieved of his duties until the investigation is complete.

The tournament organizer, the Japan High School Baseball Federation, said that due to the withdrawal, the team has forfeited its second-round game scheduled for Thursday.

Organizers will "continue efforts to eradicate violence, bullying, and unreasonable hierarchical relationships," the federation's statement said.

The national high school baseball championship, held annually at Koshien Stadium in western Japan, is one of the country's most popular sporting events.

Koryo High School is a three-time winner of the event's spring edition and has a history of producing professional players.

Its withdrawal marks only the third in the tournament's roughly 110-year history, and the first after games have begun.
