Special allowance for Kelantan’s Sultan Ismail and consort

KOTA BARU: A special sitting of the Kelantan State Assembly today approved amendments to two enactments to provide a special allowance for Sultan Ismail Petra Almarhum Sultan Yahya Petra and his consort following the proclamation of their eldest son, Sultan Muhammad V, as the new sultan.

The Royal Family Allowances Enactment (Amendment No.2) 2010 and the Royal Allocation for the Raja Perempuan of Kelantan (Amendment) 2010 were unanimously approved with the agreement of all the assemblymen, including the six opposition members.

Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat tabled the proposal for the amendments, and was seconded by Deputy Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob.

Nik Aziz said the amendments enabled Sultan Ismail Petra and the Raja Perempuan of Kelantan, Tengku Anis Tengku Abdul Hamid, to receive the special allowance following the proclamation of their eldest son, Sultan Muhammad V, as the new sultan on Sept 13.

State Assembly Speaker Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud announced the approval of the amendments after it was agreed to by all the assembly members.

Earlier, the assembly extended its congratulations to Sultan Muhammad V on his proclamation as the new sultan.

Ahmad, when winding up debate, said the state government expressed its undivided loyalty to the sultan and wished for Kelantan to be blessed under his rule.

The assembly also recorded its condolences over the death Galas assemblyman, Che Hashim Sulaima, 46, of PAS, from colon cancer three days ago.

All the assembly members observed a moment's silence and recited the "al-fatihah".

Opposition Leader Datuk Mohd Alwi Che Ahmad, when approached, said all the six opposition assemblymen supported the amendments because they had adhered to the constitutional requirements.

"There is no reason not to support what is for the good, and it is hoped that Kelantan will be blessed under the rule of Tuanku," he said.

Hentikan segera jualan susu Similac

Persatuan Pengguna Pulau Pinang (CAP) terkejut membaca laporan Reuters bahawa susu rumusan bayi Similac yang dikeluarkan oleh Abbott Laboratories Inc, telah menarik balik berjuta tin susu rumusan bayi yang dipercayai tercemar dengan kumbang di Amerika Syarikat. Susu rumusan bayi Similac juga turut dijual di Malaysia.

Keputusan secara sukarela untuk menarik balik produk itu dibuat apabila dua laporan pengguna dibuat berhubung pencemaran itu.

Pihak pengeluar juga secara sukarela menarik balik susu rumusan bayi itu di Guam, Puerto Rico dan pasaran Caribbean.

Hingga kini, pihak syarikat dan pihak berkuasa kesihatan Malaysia tidak membuat sebarang langkah untuk menarik balik produk itu daripada pasaran Malaysia. Dalam kes seperti ini langkah berhati-hati perlu diutamakan.

Demi untuk kepentingan keselamatan pengguna, CAP menggesa Kementerian Kesihatan menangani perkara itu dan mengambil tindakan menarik balik dengan segera terhadap produk itu sehingga keselamatannya boleh dipastikan.

CAP juga menasihatkan ibu-ibu supaya menyusui bayi mereka dengan susu ibu kerana “susu ibu adalah yang terbaik”.
