18,000 TEEN GIRLS IN MALAYSIA GET PREGNANT EVERY YEAR












PUTRAJAYA, Oct 29, 2015:An average of 18,000 teen girls in Malaysia get pregnant each year and seek medical attention at government health clinics, according to Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam.
He said of the total, 25% or about 4,500 cases involved out-of-wedlock pregnancy.“On average, there are 1,500 cases of teen girls getting pregnant each month or 50 cases a day in the country.”
He spoke to reporters after the launch of the national-level “Generasiku Sayang” programme by the Permaisuri of Johor Raja Zarith Sofiah Sultan Idris Shah here today.
When asked about cases involving girls getting pregnant due to rape, the minister said the number was relatively small.He said teenage pregnancy or early childbearing would not only affect the mother’s health, but was also feared to have greater risks on the baby, including premature death.
This issue, if not addressed, will increase the risks of teen pregnancy, which may also lead to other problems, such as abandoned babies,” the minister said.On the “Generasiku Sayang” programme, Dr Subramaniam said it was aimed at increasing public awareness on the importance of the efforts to prevent teen pregnancy.
Under the programme, the ministry had set up care centres to provide protection to teen girls or women who got pregnant out of wedlock, as well as their babies.

BODIES OF EGYPT CRASH VICTIMS ARRIVE IN RUSSIA












SAINT PETERSBURG: A plane carrying the remains of 144 people killed when a Russian airliner crashed in Egypt landed in Saint Petersburg early on Monday, hours after investigators probing the doomed flight said it had broken up in the air.

The emergency Russian plane, the first to bring back the bodies of those who died when the A-321 plummeted from the sky above the restive Sinai Peninsula, arrived in the Pulkovo airport of Russia's second-largest city.

Investigators from several countries have joined an Egypt-led probe to determine what brought down Russian airline Kogalymavia's flight 9268 on Saturday, killing all 224 people on board, en route from Sharm el-Sheikh to Saint Petersburg.

They have recovered the "black box" flight recorders of the Airbus, and the head of an Irish mission that will join the Egypt-led probe into the disaster said the results from the recorders should be ready in a few days.

TIGA SYARIKAT PENERBANGAN BATAL LALUAN SINAI










SINAI: Beberapa syarikat penerbangan iaitu Lufthansa, Emirates dan Air France mengumumkan menghentikan laluan penerbangan Sinai atas faktor keselamatan.

Laluan tersebut hanya akan dibuka semula selepas punca nahas pesawat Rusia itu diketahui.Mac lalu, Jabatan Penerbangan Amerika Syarikat menasihatkan pesawat awam negara itu supaya mengelak terbang di kawasan Sinai lebih rendah daripada paras 26,000 kaki.

Sebelum ini, kumpulan militan IS mengaku bertanggungjawab menjatuhkan pesawat komersial yang membawa 224 penumpang dan anak kapal itu.
Bagaimanapun dakwaan itu disangkal pihak berkuasa Mesir dan Rusia.

Serpihan pesawat dan mayat penumpang bertaburan di kawasan seluas enam hingga lapan kilometer, kira-kira 100 kilometer dari bandar El-Erish.
CYCLONE HEADS FOR YEMEN AFTER INJURING 200 ISLANDERS













ADEN: Cyclone Chapala was approaching war-torn Yemen on Monday after wreaking havoc on Socotra island and injuring hundreds of people there, as fears of its impact on Oman eased, officials said.

Strong winds hit southeast Yemen and high waves flooded the seafronts of Al-Qaeda-held Mukalla and Shehr in Hadramawt province, as well as the Belhaf gas terminal in Shabwa province, officials and residents said.

"The cyclone is approaching Mukalla and we fear a disaster," one official at the provincial capital said, requesting anonymity."Families have evacuated coastal areas and residents are organising themselves and helping each other to deal with the cyclone," he added.

The city has been mostly controlled by militants of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula since April.

On Socotra, "more than 200 people were injured and dozens of houses and hamlets were either heavily damaged by water or washed away by waves", said Salem Zaher, mayor of the island's main district Hadibo.

Oman's meteorological authority warned that waves as high as three metres (10 feet) were still expected to hit the shores of the Dhofar and Al-Wusta provinces on Monday and Tuesday.

TURKEY's AK PARTY WINS BACK MAJORITY IN SNAP ELECTION

Istanbul, Turkey - The Justice and Development Party (AK party) is set to lead Turkey alone once again after a five-month break, easily regaining its parliamentary majority in what Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called a victory for democracy.
With nearly all of the votes counted, the ruling party was leading Sunday's general elections with 49.4 percent of the vote.
The AK party was followed by the centre-left Republican People's Party (CHP) with 25.4 of the votes, far-right Nationalist Action Party (MHP) with 11.9 percent and the pro-Kurdish left-wing Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) with 10.7 percent.
With these results, AK party is predicted to claim 316 seats in the 550-seat parliament, easily enough to win a majority government on its own.
It was chased by the CHP with 134 seats, HDP with 59 seats and MHP with 41 seats. Parties need to secure 276 seats to govern the country alone.
MELBOURNE SIEGE







CHAOS broke out in Melbourne's Central Business District yesterday afternoon when a man, armed with a meat cleaver, took a Malaysian restaurant under siege.

The 20-something man caused police to rush to the scene and evacuate those in the building. They then began negotiating with the man, who stood by the restaurant's second floor window yelling out his demands.

The siege lasted for more than an hour before police finally got the man to surrender.

According to The Star, the man is a Malaysian who goes by the nickname "Panjang". He is apparently a frequent visitor to the 'Little Ipoh' restaurant, where the siege took place.The man is believed to live in Springvale – a suburb in Melbourne – and has no family in Australia.

During the siege, he shouted demands wanting to see his mother.
The three-hour drama unfolded at Little Ipoh restaurant at 360 La Trobe Street, a major street in Melbourne.

The street is home to various types of public and private spaces, including numerous cafes and restaurants.

There are two underground railway stations underneath La Trobe Street which are Flagstaff and Melbourne Central.The tram routes along the street are City Circle, No. 24. 30 and 43.

Traffic and public transportation - including the trams - had to be diverted during the siege.

According to 9news.com.au, it was around 1pm when Victoria Police Special Operations Group officers were called to La Trobe Street in relation to a "male who was armed with a meat cleaver".
An hour later, police blocked the Little Ipoh restaurant as the man yells demands from the second-floor window. There were no customers during the siege and staff were evacuated from the building.

At 2.15pm, the man who had smashed several windows of the restaurant, was seen throwing a large pane of glass at the police.Then some 15 minutes later, he puts on a pair of sunglasses and made a peace sign with his hand to the crowd outside.

According to news.com.au, the man came down soon after 3pm after police officers negotiated with him using a loudspeaker. He was then taken into police custody after exiting the restaurant. Police said the premises suffered substantial damage while the man was inside the restaurant.

In response, the police said they would contact the Department of Immigration.
