steve chia forum
National Solidarity Party’s member, Mr Steve Chia has announced via his personal facebook account that he would not be contesting in MacPherson Single Member Constituency (SMC) and also would not be contesting in the upcoming General Election.

While Mr Chia did not clearly attributed the reason for his withdrawal from the election, but the content of the post suggests that the negativity surrounding NSP’s flip-flopping on the withdrawal from MacPherson SMC might have affected him much.

The former non-constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) wrote in his post, “The Trolls have won”, followed with hashtags of ‪#‎MyReputationIsGone‬,  ‪#‎PeopleOnlyRemembersTheBad‬,‪ #‎NotWorthIt‬.

He also attached a hyperlink to a website created that contains information of his past as a politician. He clarified that the site is not set up by him and that some of the information in it are not correctly written.

Mr Chia went on to state his personal wish that Workers’ Party would send a strong candidate and take down MacPherson SMC.

Earlier this week, former Secretary General, Hazel Poa resigned from NSP due to the party’s decision to go back on its earlier decision to contest MacPherson SMC, going into a three-corner fight with Workers’ Party and People’s Action Party. Mr Chia is said to be the candidate that the party was going to field for the SMC.

各部门采取防御武汉肺炎措施 多家药房N95口罩售罄

武汉肺炎疫情加剧,已经成为全球课题,我国虽然没有确诊病例,但是人人自危,市面上的N95型口罩甚至卖断货,而教育部和国家社会及家庭发展部也制定措施,确保学生至教职员的安全。 据媒体记者观察,不少药房如屈臣氏(Watson)和佳宁(Guardian)在市面上的N95型口罩已经售罄,就连相关的网上商店也表示已经售完。此外,相关商店的其他类型面纱口罩和医用口罩,也宣告售罄。 而屈臣氏网上商店的数据也显示,N95口罩的关注用户超过千人。然而其他的网上购物平台,如虾皮(Shopee)等都显示了N95口罩还有货,但是购买者需要等待四天工作日才能收到。 卫生部早前曾派出定心丸,表示本地药房已经联系供应商,以便引进更多口罩供日后需求。当局也表示,普通医用外科口罩已足以应对目前情况,民众无需用到N95口罩。 呼吁学前托管中心多做清理工作 另一方面,教育部和国家社会及家庭发展部都纷纷制定措施,确保学生、孩童及教职员的安全。 社会及家庭发展局于1月22日发出文告,呼吁学前教育中心和学生托管中心采取预防措施,包括检查和监督学童及职员的健康状况,并鼓励他们保持良好的个人卫生习惯,包括咋进食前、上厕所后或咳嗽和打喷嚏后,都要洗手。 当局也促请相关中心对人们经常触碰的表面,如玩具和共用物品等,每天至少清理一次,并且在发觉有鼻腔或口腔分泌物沾染时即可进行清理。 基于婴幼儿比成人的免疫力低,当局促请要前往武汉旅行的职员们推迟计划。 当局也要求职员们在发觉有身体不适的孩童后或职员时,要立即将他们送医,并呼吁家长们暂时不要将生病的孩子送到学校,避免散播病菌,而应该就在家中休养,至到康复为止。 当局也和旗下的儿童及青少年收容所、福利院和残障人士之家保持密切合作,确保相关单位采取有关的预防措施。 教育部长王乙康也在脸书帖文指出,当局正与卫生部和其他部门密切合作,并且在必要时启动预防措施。…

罐头卡住大蜥蜴头部 马来男子助脱困

大部分人在见到动物有难时,都会其怜悯之心相助一把,一马来男子遇见头部被罐头卡住的大蜥蜴,也“小心翼翼”地伸出援手助其脱困,获得网民赞誉连连。 署名Chandrashagar Kandasamy的网友周一(5月25日)在脸书分享了这“惊险”一幕。 视频开始时,只见一只头部被卡在食物罐头内的大蜥蜴,停在马路中央。一名身穿粉红色马来传统服装的男子慢慢趋近蜥蜴,想要帮助大蜥蜴挣脱罐头。或许是察觉到有其他物件趋近,大蜥蜴挣扎了起来,吓得男子立即收手。 男子尝试了数次,终于成功把大蜥蜴头上的罐头取下。 有关视频并没有注明发生时段和地点,但男子帮助动物的义举获得了网民的赞扬。马来西亚动物协会也准备颁发“马来西亚贵族动物”奖给该名男子,嘉奖他的义举,并呼吁人们仿效。
