Bukit Mertajam: Dua lelaki ditemui mati dalam SUV
Posted: 16 Aug 2014 03:36 AM PDT
BUKIT MERTAJAM, (MLP) - Dua lelaki ditemui mati dalam sebuah kenderaan utiliti sukan (SUV) yang diparkir di sebuah stesen minyak di kawasan rehat dan rawat (R&R) Juru arah Selatan, semalam.
Mayat Ong Cheng See, 39, dan mayat Rizuan Ismail, 39, ditemui oleh pelanggan stesen minyak itu pada 7.30 malam dan memaklumkan kepada pekerja stesen minyak berkenaan.
Menurut laporan berita Astro Awani, Ketua Polis Pulau Pinang Datuk Abdul Rahim Hanafi berkata Ong yang berasal dari Melaka merupakan pemandu kenderaan itu manakala Rizuan pula berasal dari Kedah.
Pekerja stesen minyak berkenaan yang menyangka dua lelaki itu sedang tidur cuba mengejutkan dua lelaki itu dengan mengetuk cermin kereta. Oleh sebab tiada tindak balas dan pintu berkunci dari dalam, dia kemudian menghubungi talian kecemasan. Pasukan Bomba dan Penyelamat datang dan mengesahkan kedua-duanya sudah mati.
Beliau berkata ketika ditemui enjin kenderaan itu masih hidup dan hasil pemeriksaan Unit Forensik polis mendapati tiada kesan kecederaan pada kedua-dua mayat itu.
Siasatan awal mendapati dua lelaki berkenaan bekerja sebagai kontraktor.
Setakat ini kes itu diklasifikasi sebagai mati mengejut. Mayat dihantar ke Hospital Seberang Jaya untuk bedah siasat.
Ketua Polis Daerah Seberang Perai Tengah (SPT) ACP Rusli Mohd Noor berkata hasil keputusan bedah siasat mendapati punca kematian adalah disebabkan pencemaran gas karbon monoksida.

UN to feed up to one million hit by Ebola
Posted: 16 Aug 2014 03:36 AM PDT
The United Nations is to step up food aid to reach up to a million people affected by the Ebola outbreak wreaking havoc in west Africa, the World Food Programme (WFP) said Friday.
With states of emergency and severe restrictions on movement imposed in the three worst-hit countries, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, the UN agency is bringing in its own aircraft to transport its personnel.
"The restrictions on movement in the most affected areas threatens food security," WFP spokeswoman Fabienne Pompey said. "Commerce is affected, people cannot get to their fields, and prices rise at the markets so the poorest have trouble feeding themselves."
The WFP is already feeding several thousand people in the worst affected areas, including the families of victims who have been quarantined, orphans and old people and hunters hit by the ban on the sale of bushmeat.
With several commercial carriers suspending flights to the region because of the epidemic, she said the agency is starting up a special line on Saturday with an aircraft based in the Guinean capital Conakry to link the capitals of the three countries.
She said two helicopters will also be brought in to help staff reach the most isolated areas.
Ferrari sells for record $38 mln
Posted: 16 Aug 2014 03:36 AM PDT
A red 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta, said to be one of only a handful, was snapped up for $38.1 million in California, becoming the most expensive car ever sold at auction.
The previous record was held by a 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196R Formula 1 model bought in Britain last year for $30 million.
The Ferrari, which has a checkered past, auctioned at Monterey Car Week near San Francisco on Thursday and is from the Maranello Rosso collection. It has chassis number 3851 GT.
Only 39 such cars are known to have been manufactured, according to the Bonhams auction house.
Its first owner was French racer Jo Schlesser, who drove the car in competition with his friend, the Olympian alpine ski racer Henri Oreiller, during the 1962 Tour de France Automobile.
But the second time the French pair took the car out, during the Coupes du Salon race, Oreiller crashed it and was fatally killed.
"The car was badly damaged after hitting a trackside building and a mourning Jo Schlesser returned it to the factory for repair to as-new condition and subsequent re-sale," Bonhams said.
Paolo Colombo of Italy purchased it the following year for competition and later sold it to Ernesto Prinoth, who Bonhams said "embarked upon an energetic program of mixed hill-climbing and circuit racing."
Italian enthusiast Fabrizio Violati acquired the car in 1965 and kept it until his death in 2010. It had since been retained by the Maranello Rosso Collezione.
The auctioneers did not name the new buyer.
Among the celebrities who own a Ferrari 250 GTO are the designer Ralph Lauren, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and the heir to the Wal-Mart supermarket chain, Rob Walton, according to The Los Angeles Times.
Top US general raises hopes of easing arms ban to Vietnam
Posted: 16 Aug 2014 03:36 AM PDT
The United States could help build Vietnam's naval capacity if a ban on selling lethal weapons to the authoritarian nation is lifted, the most senior US military officer to visit Vietnam for decades said Saturday.
General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that "in the near term" there would be a discussion in the United States about whether to lift the ban introduced over human rights concerns.
Dempsey was speaking to reporters in southern Ho Chi Minh City during a four-day visit to the country during which he has met top military officials to discuss strengthening military cooperation.
"The maritime domain is the place of our greatest common interest right now... and my recommendation if the ban is lifted will be that we start with that," he said.
Trade has flourished between former wartime foes America and Vietnam since the countries normalised ties in 1995. But military cooperation is limited due to a US ban on sales of lethal weapons.
Hanoi is currently locked in a bitter maritime dispute with Beijing over disputed waters and island chains in the South China Sea.
In May, Beijing moved a deep sea oil rig into waters that Hanoi claims, setting off violent anti-China riots in Vietnam and triggering a high-seas standoff around the rig.
Beijing removed the rig in July, claiming its mission has been successfully completed.
Dempsey said he was not asking Vietnam "to choose between being a friend of the United States and a friend of China."
"We've been very clear that we don't take sides in territorial disputes, but we do care very much about how they're resolved," Dempsey said, adding it was "unfortunate" that China had not accepted a proposed freeze on provocative acts in disputed waters.
China claims nearly all of the South China Sea, even waters approaching the coasts of its neighbours, and has become increasingly assertive in staking those claims.
Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan have competing claims to parts of the sea.
Vietnam's authoritarian leaders have struggled to balance traditionally warm ties with fellow communists in Beijing with widespread anti-China sentiment among the population.
Gambar bogel tersebar, remaja 13 tahun risau
Posted: 16 Aug 2014 03:36 AM PDT
KUALA TERENGGANU, (MLP) - Seorang remaja berusia 13 tahun menerima padah apabila tindakan terburu-burunya menghantar gambar bogelnya kepada teman lelakinya memakan diri sendiri.
Menurut laporan Sinar Harian, remaja berusia 13 tahun itu menerima beberapa ugutan akan diculik oleh teman lelakinya yang hanya dikenali melalui telefon. Mereka tidak pernah berjumpa sepanjang tempoh perkenalan tersebut, iaitu sejak April lalu.
Selepas sebulan berkenalan, teman lelaki mangsa meminta mangsa menghantar gambar bogelnya, namun mangsa enggan berbuat demikian. Hal ini menyebabkan teman lelaki mangsa marah dan mengugut mahu menculik mangsa sekiranya mereka terserempak di luar.
Bimbang dengan ugutan itu, mangsa yang ketakutan akur dengan arahan tersebut sebelum bertindak menghantar gambar separuh bogelnya. Suspek yang masih tidak berpuas hati meminta mangsa menghantar gambar bogel penuh dan sekali lagi mengugut mangsa jika enggan berbuat demikian.
Remaja tersebut lantas akur, dan kini ketakutan selepas mengetahui tentang penyebaran gambar tersebut minggu lalu.
Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Terengganu, Asisten Komisioner Wan Abd Aziz Wan Hamzah ketika dihubungi mengesahkan menerima laporan berhubung kejadian berkenaan.
Siasatan lanjut sedang dijalankan dan pihaknya sedang giat mengesan suspek
