Recent road works in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) have dangerously narrowed key roads, hindering fire engine access and blocking a fire hydrant, the TTDI Residents Association (RA) has alleged. The RA is now urging Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to take urgent remedial action, saying that the new road layout does not comply with the minimum six-metre width required for fire engine access roads under the Uniform Building By-Laws. The issue stems from recent alterations to several main roads, including Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad and Jalan Wan Kadir, which were modified ostensibly to improve pedestrian walkways and crossings. However, a fire truck demonstration held on January 13 — witnessed by the RA, the local Fire and Rescue Department, and DBKL representatives — proved the new design’s flaws.

The mayor of Ichikawa City in Japan, Tanaka, has banned group prayers in a public park. For about 30 years, people from the local mosque had been performing namaz (prayers) in the nearby park. But after complaints from local residents and criticism on social media, the mayor clearly stated: “A public park is for everyone. Collective worship of any particular religion should not take place there.” Now only cultural events are allowed in the park — not prayers.

Unbelievable. Local Government passed a Worlds First motion warning residents and Australian Councils about DNA contamination of Pfizer/Moderna covid mRNA vials (peer reviewed research). The State Government responded by cancelling their elections and dissolving the local council. Adrian McCrae speaking at MEHA in the European Union: "Last month my entire local government in Australia was sacked and dissolved and we had our elections cancelled. Why? Because as a tier of Australian government we dared to ask uncomfortable questions, that embarrassed the Australian federal government and their cozy relationship with Big Pharma." The local Government of a small town in Western Australia (W.A), Port Hedland, put the TGA and the Federal Government and the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese on Notice. W.A Labor Minister for Local Government Hannah Beazley, who PM Anthony Albanese calls a "Friend", has recently appeared on Legacy media channels targeting small government, and according to McCrae was involved in dissolving the Port Hedland council and cancelled their elections. The TGA, which was indirectly instituted in response to tragedies like Thalidomide, receives 95% of its funding from Big Pharma.

Namibia will not bend its laws for foreign investors, Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare told parliament, defending the rejection of a proposed satellite internet licence. Dr. Ngurare was responding to opposition leader McHenry Venaani, who questioned the government’s handling of the decision, including the lack of a formal statement, the consistency of the 51% local ownership requirement and the impact on investor confidence. In response, Dr. Ngurare said the government would not create special rules based on the profile of an investor, stressing that all must comply with Namibia’s laws. He warned that making exceptions could set a precedent and undermine national principles. He also dismissed concerns about external pressure, saying Namibia must act in its own interest. He added that the government has programmes in place to extend internet access to rural communities as an alternative. Serafia Nadunya #NBCNews #nbcdigitalnews #nbcDSTV282 #nbcGOtv20 #nbcPlusApp

#BREAKING: SOMALI JOINT TROOPS ADVANCE ON JAMAAME AS ALSHABAAB PULLS BACK JUBALAND, Somalia, –#Jubaland government forces, supported by #Somalia's elite #Danab commandos, have seized control of most roads leading into the southern town of Jamaame, military officials and local sources said on Monday, prompting Al-Shabaab fighters to begin a withdrawal. The joint forces have secured key junctions on multiple approaches to the town, effectively encircling it. Residents in Jamaame reported seeing fighters retreating from several checkpoints. Jamaame, on the eastern bank of the Jubba River in Somalia’s Lower Juba region, lies between fertile farmlands and the Indian Ocean. The town has long been used by Al-Shabaab as a base for operations, including attacks on trade routes and nearby communities. Officials said the next phase of the government-led operation will focus on consolidating control of captured roads before advancing further into the town.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said the personnel concerned remained on active duty pending the outcome of the investigation. He reminded all police officers and personnel to uphold proper conduct at all times, whether in Malaysia or abroad, as they remain subject to the force’s regulations and standard operating procedures even when not in uniform. The controversy involving the social media influencer, who is also a police officer, drew widespread attention, including from foreign media, after she was accused of shouting inappropriate remarks while covering her nose in a public area in China.

Locals Take Matters Into Their Own Hands Amid Migrant Surge! In a striking display of frustration, locals on the remote Greek island of Gavdos—Europe’s southernmost point—were caught on video pushing back a migrant boat attempting to land on their shores! Residents waded into the water, physically shoving the vessel carrying undocumented migrants from Libya back toward the open sea, highlighting the growing tensions over unchecked arrivals straining the island’s limited resources. The footage, taken earlier this year, shows how long the problem has been persisting for. Frontex (EU border agency) went around the locals decision, and forced them to accept the violent migrants by transporting them to a nearby port for “processing.” This unfolded during a weekend surge where around 850 migrants arrived in the broader Crete region, overwhelming emergency shelters and local infrastructure. Is this vigilantism a symptom of failed policies, or a desperate cry for help? As migration routes evolve amid geopolitical tensions, communities like Gavdos are on the front lines. Do you stand with the men who are bravely fighting back?

According to officials, a joint team from the Nainital district administration and local civic authorities undertook the demolition on Nazool land, leading to protests from enraged Muslims. Reports indicate that the situation escalated quickly as angry locals began protesting. Reportedly some police officers and district administration officials sustained injuries.

Lost Kerala Trekker Rescued After Four Days in Kodagu Forests Kodagu, Karnataka Sharanya, a 24 year old #IT professional from #Kerala, was found safe after surviving four harrowing days in the dense forests of the Western Ghats. Sharanya, a native of Nadapuram in #Kozhikode and employed in Kochi, had joined a 10-member trekking group to Tadiyandamol Hill, #Kodagu’s highest peak, on April 2. She became separated from her companions while returning, losing her way in the thick canopy. With her phone battery nearly drained and only a single bottle of water, she relied on her instincts to endure the ordeal. “I knew rescue teams would use drones to search,” she told reporters after her rescue. “So I tried to stay in open clearings where I could be spotted from above.” Her disappearance sparked a massive search operation led by the Karnataka Forest Department, Kodagu District Police, Anti-Naxal Force and local volunteers. Advanced technology, including thermal drones and a dog squad, was deployed to comb the rugged terrain. The breakthrough came when members of the #KudaTribe, renowned for their deep knowledge of the forest’s hidden trails, heard unusual sounds and discovered Sharanya sitting in a clearing. Though exhausted, she remained calm and composed. Forest Minister Ishwar Khandre praised the coordinated efforts of officials and local residents, calling the rescue “a testament to community spirit and resilience.” Sharanya was taken to a nearby medical facility for routine checks. Despite the physical strain of her ordeal, she was seen smiling and expressing heartfelt gratitude to the volunteers and officials who ensured her safe return. This remarkable survival story has not only highlighted the dangers of trekking in dense forests but also underscored the critical role of local communities and modern technology in rescue operations.

Swift Troops’ Intervention Foils Attack on School, Saves Students in Kogi By: Zagazola Makama The timely intervention of security troops has prevented what could have been a major attack on students writing the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in Iluke Community, Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State. Eyewitnesses who spoke after the incident commended the swift response of the troops, saying their prompt arrival at the scene prevented the attackers from carrying out a mass abduction of students. The attack occurred when armed men stormed the community and started shooting where students were writing their examinations. According to eyewitness accounts, the assailants attempted to seize the students and move them into a nearby bush before security personnel responded to distress calls from residents. “The situation would have been much worse if the soldiers had not arrived when they did. Their intervention saved the students and prevented what could have been a major tragedy,” one resident said. Another eyewitness described the response of the troops as timely and professional, noting that the security operatives engaged the attackers and forced them to abandon their mission. The residents said the arrival of the troops compelled the attackers to retreat from the area. All the students were reportedly safe and unharmed and safely reunited with their families following the operation. Community members also praised local security volunteers and other security agencies that supported the operation. The incident, however, left the community in mourning following the death of three residents during the attack. Security sources said one of the attackers was neutralised during the exchange of fire, while several others escaped with gunshot wounds. A security operation is ongoing to track down the fleeing suspects and prevent further attacks in the area. Residents of Iluke Community expressed gratitude to the troops for their courage and sacrifice, describing the intervention as a decisive action that prevented a larger humanitarian crisis. They urged security agencies to sustain the ongoing operations and strengthen security presence in vulnerable communities across the area. The Kogi State Government has also commended the troops and other security personnel involved in the operation, assuring residents of its commitment to safeguarding lives and property.
