Fauzi buka laluan Pahang Posted: 11 Oct 2014 09:33 AM PDT PAHANG muncul pasukan ketiga melangkah ke saingan separuh akhir kempen Piala Malaysia selepas menewaskan juara Liga Perdana, Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM), 3-2, secara agregat apabila menang 2-1, di suku akhir kedua, di Stadium Shah Alam, malam tadi. Biarpun skuad Tok Gajah terpaksa beraksi dengan 10 pemain apabila tonggak pertahanan Damion Stewart dilayangkan kad merah susulan tindakannya menarik seluar penyerang PDRM, Ali Ashfaq di minit ke-84, ia tidak sedikitpun menggangu fokus anak buah Zainal Abidin Hassan untuk bangkit mencipta kemenangan. Jaringan pertama perlawanan tercipta menerusi tandukan sipi ke belakang tonggak tengah PDRM, Mohd Fauzi Abdul Majid yang bijak menyambut sepakan percuma Ali Ashfaq buat menewaskan penjaga gol pelawat Khairul Azhan Khalid pada minit ke-18. Tersentak dengan jaringan itu, Zainal melakukan beberapa pertukaran dengan membawa masuk Mohd Fauzi Roslan buat menambah sengat di jentera hadapan. FAUZI menjaringkan gol kemenangan di minit akhir perlawanan yang membawa Pahang ke separuh akhir Piala Malaysia dengan agregat 3-2, di Stadium Shah Alam. FOTO Osman Adnan Hasilnya, dua jaringan diperoleh menerusi tandukan Zesh Rehman di minit ke-76 dan sentuhan pemusnah daripada pemain yang baru yang dibawa masuk, Fauzi Roslan pada masa kecederaan menerusi sepakan deras yang berjaya menewaskan penjaga gol PDRM Azizon Abdul Kadir. Berdasarkan jadual aksi separuh akhir, Pahang bakal bertemu Kedah sementara FELDA terpaksa menanti lawan mereka sama ada Johor DT atau Terengganu yang akan hanya turun berentap, 16 Oktober ini.

18,000 pesakit tunggu organ Posted: 11 Oct 2014 09:06 AM PDT Kuala Lumpur: Sekurang-kurangnya 18,493 individu yang mengalami kegagalan buah pinggang, hati, jantung dan paru-paru kini menunggu untuk mendapatkan pemindahan organ. Menteri Kesihatan, Datuk Seri Dr S Subramaniam, berkata jumlah besar itu berkait rapat dengan kadar rakyat Malaysia yang berdaftar sebagai penderma organ iaitu kurang satu peratus daripada setiap sejuta penduduk. "Kadar pendermaan organ di Malaysia hanya sekitar 0.8 penderma bagi setiap juta penduduk dan merupakan antara yang terendah di dunia. "Walaupun ada peningkatan berbanding tahun sebelumnya, ia masih tidak mencukupi untuk memenuhi keperluan pesakit yang sedang menunggu," katanya ketika berucap merasmikan Kempen Jalanan #DermaOrgan, di sini. Dr Subramaniam berkata, kesemua pesakit itu kini bergantung harap kepada rakyat Malaysia yang prihatin dan bersedia untuk membantu menyelamatkan nyawa mereka melalui pendermaan organ. Menurut statistik Kementerian Kesihatan, 266,583 rakyat Malaysia berikrar sehingga 30 September untuk menderma organ selepas kematian - 0.9 peratus daripada keseluruhan penduduk negara ini. Daripada keseluruhan pesakit menunggu pemindahan organ, 18,418 memerlukan buah pinggang, hati (12), paru-paru (enam) dan jantung (lima). Tiga orang lagi memerlukan jantung dan paru-paru. Sebanyak 55 pembedahan transplan organ dilalukan bagi tempoh Januari hingga 30 Sept 2014. Dr Subramaniam berkata, kesedaran rakyat Malaysia berkaitan pendermaan organ kini semakin meningkat terutama dalam kalangan belia. Selain itu, katanya, kementerian sedang membangunkan sebuah sistem pendaftaran secara online bagi memudahkan rujukan maklumat semua pendaftar organ di seluruh negara. - Bernama Artikel ini disiarkan pada : 2014/10/11

Kopiah sufi kian diminati Posted: 10 Oct 2014 02:51 PM PDT Pasir Puteh: Pada mulanya dia menghasilkan kopiah sufi Rasulullah SAW untuk kegunaan sendiri sebelum hasil tangannya itu mula mendapat perhatian ramai sehingga ke serata pelosok negeri dan luar negeri. Sehingga kini, kopiah sufi buatan Rosli Ngah, 42, itu sering ditempah pemborong termasuk dari luar negara seperti Australia, China, Indonesia dan Jepun disebabkan reka bentuknya yang unik itu. Malah, bapa kepada lima anak itu langsung tidak menyangka kopiah yang mula dihasilkan sejak 10 tahun lalu itu kini menjadi punca utama sumber pendapatannya sekeluarga. Sejak pembabitannya dalam usaha pembuatan kopiah itu, Rosli berjaya menghasilkan lebih 3,000 kopiah sufi pelbagai jenis dengan pemakainya adalah majoriti daripada pelajar pondok. KOPIAH siap dijahit dimasukkan dalam beg untuk dihantar kepada pemborong.

Lenny Kravitz cancels Asia tour, blames scheduling issues Posted: 27 Feb 2015 05:08 PM PST Singer Lenny Kravitz (right) is scheduled to head in March to Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia before a series of dates in Australia. ― File picNEW YORK, Feb 28 ― Lenny Kravitz yesterday abruptly cancelled a tour of Asia and Australia, with the rocker blaming unspecified scheduling issues. The singer-songwriter, whose mix of rock with soul and funk elements has won him a wide international following, had been scheduled to head in March to Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia before a series of dates in Australia. "Unfortunately, due to contractual scheduling conflicts beyond my control I will not be able to come," Kravitz said in a statement, apologising to fans. Kravitz said he hoped to reschedule the concerts but did not immediately announce new dates. Tickets will be refunded. The 50-year-old musician recently took to the stage with mega pop star Katy Perry at the Super Bowl, the American football title match which is the most-watched annual event in the United States. Kravitz has kept a 21-date tour of Europe starting in June, as well as an appearance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in early May. ― AFP

Prince William and Japan emperor swaps royal notes Posted: 27 Feb 2015 05:02 PM PST Britain's Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, is greeted by Japan's Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko upon his arrival for a luncheon at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo February 27, 2015. — Reuters picTOKYO, Feb 28 — Britain's Prince William compared royal notes with Japan's imperial family yesterday in the tradition-laden Imperial Palace that dominates central Tokyo. The young scion of the House of Windsor was welcomed by Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko at the entrance of the imposing palace, which is cut off from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo by a large moat. Akihito, whose family claims to be able to trace its imperial ancestry for thousands of years looked frail next to the hearty former helicopter pilot, whose wife, Kate, is due to give birth to the couple's second child in April. Pictures showed William, 32, shaking hands with the 81-year-old emperor, and Japanese media reported he had thanked the royal couple for an invitation that had brought him to Japan for the first time. Speaking at a reception later in the day, William said he was "immensely honoured to have been received by Their Majesties". William, who is also Duke of Cambridge, later met Crown Prince Naruhito at a separate palace for a tea ceremony. The younger prince towered above his Japanese counterpart, standing a good head and shoulders taller than a man who lives a different, more cloistered existence than the jet-set lifestyles of William and his brother, Harry. On the death of his father, Naruhito will inherit the Chrysanthemum Throne, a role that was largely stripped of its quasi-religious mystique by American occupiers after World War II. William had spent the morning paying tribute to British and other soldiers who gave their lives during those hostilities over seven decades ago, laying a wreath at a Commonwealth War Cemetery in Yokohama, near Tokyo. The cemetery is the resting place of 1,700 prisoners of war brought to Japan as forced labourers during Tokyo's ill-fated stomp through Asia, which ended in brutal atomic defeat in 1945. Memories of Diana The young prince became the latest in a line of distinguished British visitors to the cemetery, after former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth, and his mother, the late Princess Diana. William looked at pictures of his mother's visits — in 1990 and 1995 — and footage of her trip was replayed on Japanese television. The Princess of Wales was immensely popular in Japan, her visits setting off so-called "Diana Fever" as tens of thousands flocked to meet her and as women sought to copy her carefully-coiffured hair and stylish dress-sense. The young prince has something of that star power for many Japanese, who speak admiringly of his apparent warmth and ease with members of the public, although the absence of Kate and baby George has dimmed the appeal a little. At a function to promote British industry in the afternoon, William looked slightly sheepish in a bright red "happi", a traditional Japanese housecoat, as he joined a Japanese astronaut to swing a wooden hammer and crack open a barrel of sake. Following a reception at the British Embassy later, William was due to set off today for Japan's northeast, the area that was devastated by a huge earthquake and tsunami in 2011. More than 19,000 people died in the natural disaster, which also set off a nuclear emergency in Fukushima. Tens of thousands of people were forced from their homes when three of the plant's reactors went into meltdown, spewing toxic radiation over a large area. Many of those made homeless by the disaster remain displaced, and scientists say it could be decades before some areas are safe for human habitation again. William is due to leave Japan tomorrow, bound for Beijing. — AFP

How Leonard Nimoy’s Spock became a sex symbol — Virginia Postrel Posted: 27 Feb 2015 04:59 PM PST FEBRUARY 28 — When "Star Trek" debuted in 1966, showing a beautiful black woman and a dashing Asian man as bridge officers was an idealistic political statement. Turning someone who looked like Leonard Nimoy into a sex symbol, however, was entirely unintentional. Actor Leonard Nimoy, who played 'Spock' in the original 'Star Trek' television and movie series, speaks to the residents of the town of Vulcan, Alberta, in this April 23, 2010, file photo. ― Reuters picBefore he played Spock, Nimoy, who died todayat 83, played a surprising number of parts as Indians and Mexicans in the Old West. With his long, thin face, prominent nose and deep smile lines, he looked like The Other. That's why he fit the part of Spock. "All I wanted at first was pointed ears and a faintly satanic appearance," said series creator Gene Roddenberry in "The Making of Star Trek," published in 1968. Spock's "alien features"—as Roddenberry called them in the book—weren't limited to prostheses. Nimoy was handsome, but not in a way that Hollywood in 1966 recognized. He didn't look like a leading man. He looked like what he was: the son of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants. And if you looked like that, you were a character actor, not a star. But Nimoy became a star. He was a Method actor and in creating Spock, he gave what could have been a gimmicky, two— dimensional character hidden depths. Those hidden depths in turn gave him sex appeal. Within the show's plots, Captain Kirk was the lady killer. But Spock was the one who made female viewers swoon.  Spock offered alienated nerds a glamorous role model—an ideal self in ideal circumstances. Nimoy had to remind fans that the character wasn't real and wasn't him: His 1975 memoir was titled "I Am Not Spock." 'Star Trek' television series actor Leonard Nimoy speaks at the unveiling of fellow 'Star Trek' actor Walter Koenig's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Hollywood in this September 10, 2012, file photo. ― Reuters pic Leonard Nimoy, cast member of the new film 'Star Trek Into Darkness', poses as he arrives at the film's premiere in Hollywood May 14, 2013. ― Reuters pic Actors William Shatner (left) and Leonard Nimoy pose for a photo during an interview for the 40th anniversary of the science-fiction television series 'Star Trek' in Los Angeles in this August 9, 2006, file photo. ― Reuters pic Actor Leonard Nimoy, who played 'Spock' in the original 'Star Trek' television and movie series, speaks to the residents of the town of Vulcan, Alberta, in this April 23, 2010, file photo. ― Reuters pic Flowers and a note of thanks adorn the Hollywood Walk of Fame star of Nimoy on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California February 28, 2015. ― Reuters pic But in an important way, he was. Not only was the actor largely responsible for the character's compelling personality. Nimoy also provided Spock's physical form—and by doing so helped change the face of Hollywood. If actors like Jeff Goldblum and Adrien Brody aren't stuck playing villains, it's partly because Nimoy proved that looks like theirs could be not satanic but sexy. * To contact the author on this story: Virginia Postrel at vpostrel@bloomberg.net. ** This is the personal opinion of the columnist.

Thief returns Lupita Nyong’o’s US$150,000 Oscar gown ― via TMZ (VIDEO) Posted: 27 Feb 2015 04:55 PM PST LOS ANGELES, Feb 28 ― The US$150,000 (RM541,499) Oscar gown worn by actress Lupita Nyong'o that was stolen two days ago was returned yesterday by the thief, who tipped off celebrity news site TMZ.com after finding out that the pearls on the dress were fake. TMZ said the thief took the Calvin Klein dress from Nyong'o's hotel room on Wednesday after finding the door ajar. The Kenyan actress had worn the dress adorned with 6,000 pearls to Sunday's Academy Awards in one of the most commented looks of the night. The thief and others removed two pearls from the dress and took them to the Garment District in downtown Los Angeles where they were told they were not real, according to TMZ. The thief then took the dress back to the London West Hollywood hotel and told TMZ it was in a garment bag inside a trash bag in a bathroom.

Two killed, one hurt in two-vehicle collision at Gurun Posted: 27 Feb 2015 04:49 PM PST ALOR SETAR, Feb 28 — Two were killed and one was hurt in an accident involving a car and a four-wheel-drive vehicle in Jalan Jeniang, Gurun, yesterday evening.

Ever present reminder of US$500m Boston art heist mystery Posted: 27 Feb 2015 04:48 PM PST Security guard Paul Daley stands guard at the door of the Dutch Room following a robbery at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, in this file photo taken March 21,1990. — Reuters picBOSTON, Feb 25 — A 122-year old Venetian-style palazzo tucked into Boston's marshy Fens section stands as one of the city's more popular tourist attractions and the site of one of its longest-unsolved crimes. It has been almost 25 years since 13 artworks worth some US$500 million (RM1.8b) were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in the largest art heist in US history. The statute of limitations for prosecuting the thieves has long expired but officials at the private museum and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have not given up hope of recovering the missing works, which include including Rembrandt's "Storm on the Sea of Galilee," Vermeer's "The Concert" and Manet's "Chez Tortoni." The Gardner's remaining collection is sizable, boasting some 2,500 pieces that range from a Roman mosaic of Medusa to ancient Chinese bronzes, reflecting the eclectic tastes of the turn-of-the-century collector from whom it takes its name. More unusual are the four empty frames that hang in the galleries. They are a quirk of Gardner's will that turned the building she called home in her final years over to the public as a museum after her 1924 death, on the condition that the collection not be changed. Anthony Amore, the museum's chief of security, described the empty frames as "placeholders, signs of hope" that the missing art would one day be recovered. "The investigation is very active and very methodical," said Amore, a former Department of Homeland Security official who has spent much of the past decade trying to track down the missing art. "We need those works." The mystery dates to the rainy night of March 18, 1990, when two men dressed as police officers arrived at the museum's front door and security guards let them in. The pair allegedly overpowered the guards, who were found duct-taped to chairs in the museum's basement the next morning. There have been glimmers of hope of solving the crime. In March 2013, FBI officials said they had identified the thieves and asked anyone who seen the missing work, which includes etchings and other historic objects, to come forward. But a month later Boston law enforcement's attention was refocused on the fatal bombing attack at the Boston Marathon and no artwork has been recovered. The investigation has taken FBI agents as far afield as Ireland and Japan, but in recent years has been focused on the northeastern and central United States, said Geoff Kelly, the special agent in charge of the case. "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack," Kelly said. "We've been able to narrow the haystack." Eccentric patron Gardner's life was as distinctive as her art collection. A native of New York who moved north after marrying businessman Jack Gardner in 1860, she did not comport to the dour standards of the wealthy in 19th century Boston. Gardner, who had been educated in Paris, served donuts at flamboyant parties and competed with male art collectors for prize pieces. After her first and only child died at the age of two, the Gardners toured Europe extensively, adding to their collection of art and antiques. The couple commissioned the building that now houses the museum after their art holdings outgrew their home. The museum opened in 1903, five years after Jack's death. Her orders that the museum remain unchanged means that, a quarter-century on, the theft is a raw experience for first-time visitors. "Any other museum would simply paper over the loss and take down the frames and put something else up," said Andrew McClellan, a Tufts University professor specializing in museum history. "At the Gardner, it's a haunting presence that will only ever be healed by the return of the paintings." Kelly would say little about who the FBI suspects stole the art, other than allude to the Mafia. But he contends the thieves likely were not art connoisseurs, given that they left behind some its most prized pieces, including Titian's "The Rape of Europa." "These thieves were not sophisticated criminals, as evidenced by the fact that two of the paintings were cut out of their frames," Kelly said. "The significant value of the stolen artwork seems to have elevated the status of the thieves to master criminals but that's a specious assumption." — Reuters

300,000 tak payah bayar cukai Posted: 10 Oct 2014 04:13 AM PDT Kuala Lumpur: Sekurang-kurangnya 300,000 pembayar cukai individu tidak perlu lagi membayarnya bagi tahun taksiran 2015. Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, berkata ini berikutan kerajaan mengurangkan kadar cukai pendapatan individu antara satu hingga tiga mata peratusan. Beliau berkata demikian ketika membentangkan `Bajet 2015: Ekonomi Keperluan Rakyat' di Dewan Rakyat, hari ini, "Ekonomi Keperluan Rakyat menjadi paksi dan pegangan dalam mendahulukan kepentingan rakyat. "Barulah nanti, apabila kita mencapai status negara maju, nikmat kekayaan dan kemakmuran sebenar negara akan melimpah ke kaki-kaki halaman serta mengetuk pintu-pintu rumah setiap rakyat di negara ini, Insya-Allah," katanya. Najib merujuk kepada kepentingan rakyat bukan sahaja dari segi kos sara hidup, pendapatan isi rumah tetapi juga merangkumi peluang pendidikan, pekerjaan dan perniagaan, kualiti hidup, perumahan, latihan, kemahiran, keusahawanan dan keselamatan. Menurutnya, RM273.9 bilion diperuntukkan dalam Bajet 2015 yang meliputi RM223.4 bilion bagi perbelanjaan mengurus dan RM50.5 bilion bagi perbelanjaan pembangunan. Memperjelaskan lagi struktur pencukaian, Najib berkata, golongan berkeluarga yang berpendapatan RM4,000 sebulan juga tidak lagi perlu membayar cukai pendapatan. Beliau turut memberi jaminan bahawa Cukai Barang dan Perkhidmatan (CBP) yang bakal dilaksanakan April tahun depan tidak membebankan rakyat kerana mereka yang menggunakan petrol RON95, diesel dan LPG bakal menikmati pelepasan cukai itu. Berbeza dengan tanggapan kononnya CBP akan menyebabkan kenaikan harga semua barang, Bajet 2015 mencadangkan lebih separuh daripada 944 barang dan perkhidmatan diberi penurunan harga sehingga 4.1 peratus apabila cukai itu dilaksanakan. Antaranya ialah ubat-ubatan, barangan elektrik, produk tekstil, barangan plastik, perabot, lampin bayi dan bahan makanan seperti beras, daging, telur ayam, minyak masak dan sayur-sayuran.

Pilih berjimat tak bertempat Posted: 09 Oct 2014 02:00 PM PDT Kuala Lumpur: Lima daripada 10 atau 50 peratus pemilik kenderaan di negara ini lebih suka memilih alat ganti tiruan walaupun sedar risiko kemalangan menanti mereka. Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Keselamatan Jalan Raya (JKJR) Datuk Dr Tam Weng Wah berkata, pihak berkuasa menghadapi kesukaran mengekang kebanjiran alat ganti kenderaan tiruan kerana permintaannya amat tinggi. "Situasi ini menunjukkan rakyat Malaysia memilih untuk 'berjimat' dengan cara yang salah. Banyak perkara yang boleh berjimat, tetapi bukan perkara yang boleh mendatangkan risiko kepada diri dan keluarga," katanya ketika dihubungi, semalam. Beliau berkata demikian ketika mengulas laporan muka depan akhbar ini, semalam yang mendedahkan mengenai sikap ramai pemilik kenderaan negara ini yang lebih gemar memilih alat ganti tiruan hanya kerana ingin menjimatkan kos. ANGGOTA penguat kuasa memeriksa barangan yang dirampas. Menurutnya, orang ramai perlu sedar bahawa penggunaan alat ganti tiruan sebenarnya lebih membazir kerana ia tidak tahan lama dan perlu diganti baru dalam tempoh singkat.
