DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng today said he was willing to apologise over a purported donation of Covid-19 vaccines to the Penang government which Khairy Jamaluddin recently dismissed as a scam if what the federal minister said is proven to be true.

“If what Khairy said is true, then I am willing to apologise so that we can focus on the importance of securing vaccines for the people through a whole of government/country effort,” he said in a statement today, adding that the Penang government is attempting to verify Khairy’s assertion.

Khairy, who is in charge of the national immunisation programme, said at a press conference yesterday that the offer by a private company of two million free doses of Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine for Penang was a scam job.

He said an investigation with Sinovac China revealed no proof or documents received by the company, Xintai Development Enterprise Ltd.

“I will categorically say again today. This donation or offer is bogus. Look at the offer, there’s not even a letterhead.

“I am responsible for vaccine procurement in Malaysia, so I know where the supplies come from,” the science, technology and innovation minister said.

Chow later urged the company to come forward and clear its name, saying Khairy’s allegation was “serious”.

In a statement, he said the Penang government had received the vaccine offer in a letter dated Feb 1. He said it had sought the views of the Penang health department which asked that the letter be sent to the health ministry for advice.

He said on March 12, the ministry’s secretary-general Mohd Shafiq Abdullah had replied that the contribution could not be considered as the federal government had implemented the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.

“With this, the state government could not pursue the matter as it did not receive the ministry’s recommendation letter to enable them negotiate with the vaccine supplier,” Chow said.

Lim, the former Penang chief minister who had earlier hit out at the federal government for “blocking” the donation, said “whether the company exists or not is a secondary issue”.

“(It) should not distract from the two principal issues of the federal government granting immediate approval to all state governments to purchase vaccines or secure vaccine donations,” he added.

“It is not wrong to seek vaccines at the earliest possible time for the people to protect them by every legal means possible.”

The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine, codenamed NVX-CoV2373, and also called SARS-CoV-2 rS (recombinant spike) protein nanoparticle with Matrix-M1 adjuvant, is a COVID-19 vaccine candidate developed by Novavax and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and is undergoing trials in India under the brand name Covovax. It requires two doses and is stable at 2 to 8 °C (36 to 46 °F) (refrigerated).

Deployment
On 2 February 2021, the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada has signed a tentative agreement for Novavax to produce millions of doses of its COVID-19 vaccine in Montreal, Canada, once it is approved for use by Health Canada, making it the first COVID-19 vaccine to be produced domestically.

On 29 March 2021, the UK government announced that their order for 60 million doses of the Novavax vaccine, which will be manufactured in the UK by FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, will also be filled and finished in the UK by GlaxoSmithKline.

JASIN: Mangsa bunuh di Kampung Berangan Enam, Umbai di sini pagi tadi, didakwa pernah beberapa kali bertengkar dengan bekas adik iparnya yang juga suspek kes terbabit, sejak tiga hari lalu.

Pertengkaran dikatakan mempunyai kaitan dengan perebutan dua anak suspek hasil perkahwinan dengan adik perempuan mangsa sebelum pasangan itu bercerai awal tahun ini.

Jiran mangsa yang enggan dikenali mendakwa, suspek berusia 32 tahun itu datang ke rumah bekas isterinya beberapa hari lalu untuk mengambil dua anak mereka yang berusia lapan dan 10 tahun, namun ahli keluarga wanita berkenaan tidak membenarkannya.

Keesokannya, suspek dikatakan datang semula tetapi tetap gagal mendapatkan anak-anaknya.

Berikutan itu, mangsa yang dikenali sebagai Hanafiah Hanafi, 36, meminta bantuan beberapa penduduk mengawasi kediamannya bagi menghalang suspek daripada terus mengganggu keluarganya sejak malam tadi.

"Bagaimanapun, suspek tiba-tiba muncul di rumah itu kira-kira jam 7 pagi tadi dan berlaku pertengkaran dengan beberapa ahli keluarga terbabit sebelum mangsa datang untuk menenangkan keadaan," katanya di sini, hari ini.

Suspek yang tidak berpuas hati, dikatakan terus menikam badan mangsa beberapa kali menggunakan sebilah pisau.

Jiran berkenaan mendakwa, suasana tenang bertukar kepada jeritan ahli keluarga sebelum suspek dilihat melarikan diri dengan menaiki sebuah kereta yang diletak berhampiran manakala mangsa terbaring berlumuran darah di halaman rumah.

Pada sidang media pagi tadi, Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Melaka, Asisten Komisioner Mohd Sukri Kaman, berkata siasatan mendapati suspek ke rumah keluarga bekas mentuanya untuk mengambil anaknya.

"Mangsa dikatakan cuba menenangkan bekas adik iparnya sebelum ditikam beberapa kali oleh suspek di bahagian rusuk kanan.

"Mangsa yang cedera parah dihantar ke Hospital Melaka untuk rawatan sebelum disahkan meninggal dunia.

"Kes disiasat mengikut Seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan kerana membunuh yang memperuntukkan hukuman mati mandatori," katanya.

First Batch of Sinovac manufactured by Msia

harumanis_man — Tue, 11 May 2021 16:32:11 +0800

PUTRAJAYA: The first batch of Sinovac Covid-19 vaccines prepared for distribution here by Pharmaniaga LifeScience Sdn Bhd (PLS) is now ready to be administered to the public.

A total of 290,480 doses of Sinovac vaccines filled and finished by PLS at its plant in Puchong have received approval from the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA).

With the NPRA approval, the first batch can be distributed at all Health Ministry vaccination dispensing centres nationwide (PPV).

The first batch of vaccines was handed to Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba by Pharmaniaga Group managing director Datuk Zulkarnain Md Eusope in a symbolic ceremony at the ministry building here.

As of May 10, PLS has prepared 1.2 million doses of Sinovac vaccines.

In a statement, PLS said its plant is able to produce two million doses per month.

Pharmaniaga on March 15 said it had signed an agreement with China's Sinovac Biotech Ltd's subsidiary for the purchase of ready-to-fill bulk product of the Covid-19 vaccine.

The first batch was prepared from 200 litres of Sinovac Covid-19 bulk vaccine which arrived from China on Feb 27.

You dare to fly 737 Max plane?If Cobis19 all solve

harumanis_man — Tue, 11 May 2021 11:57:50 +0800

Little more than six months after Boeing's 737 Max was cleared to fly again by US regulators, the aircraft finds itself under intense scrutiny once again.

The discovery of a potential electrical problem last month led to the renewed grounding of more than 100 aeroplanes, belonging to 24 airlines around the world.

Deliveries of many more new aircraft have been suspended. Boeing and the US regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration say they are working closely to address the issue.

But the affair has given new energy to critics who claim the 737 Max was allowed back into service prematurely - and that issues which could have contributed to two fatal crashes have not been fully analysed or addressed.

Those critics include a high profile whistle-blower, Ed Pierson, who has already sought to link allegedly poor production standards at the 737 factory with electrical defects on the crashed planes, which he claims may have been implicated in both accidents.

According to Boeing and the FAA, the problem first became apparent during testing of a newly manufactured 737 Max 8, which had yet to be delivered to its owner. It was found that electrical power systems on the aircraft were not working correctly.

'Boeing played Russian roulette with people's lives'
Boeing to pay $2.5bn over 737 Max conspiracy
The fault was traced to poor electrical bonding, where panel assemblies that were also intended to conduct electricity and form part of a connection with the frame of the aircraft were not doing so effectively.

This meant that some components on the plane, including the pilots' main instrument panel and a standby power control unit, were improperly grounded, or earthed.

According to the FAA, this could potentially "affect the operation of certain systems, including engine ice protection, and result in loss of critical functions and/or multiple simultaneous flight deck effects, which may prevent continued safe flight and landing".

The flaw, then, was a dangerous one. The FAA was worried that over time other aircraft, which were already in service, could develop the same condition. It issued an Airworthiness Directive on 30 April stipulating that affected aircraft should be modified before being permitted to fly again.

On the face of it, there is nothing to link these flaws with the errant flight control software - known as MCAS - that triggered the loss of two planes, in Indonesia and Ethiopia, claiming the lives of 346 people.

In each of those accidents, flawed data from a faulty sensor prompted MCAS to force the nose of the aircraft down repeatedly, when the pilots were trying to gain height, ultimately pushing it into a catastrophic dive.

According to Chris Brady, a pilot who runs a website and a video channel devoted to technical aspects of the 737, "the problem is unrelated to MCAS or any other previous Max problem".

It occurred, he says, because in early 2019, Boeing changed the way panels were attached on parts of the plane. It was seen as a very minor change, so it was not notified to regulators.

"There was nothing, let's say, unethical about that", he explains. "Prima facie, this appears to be an honest mistake, the implications of which have just been unearthed".

But for Mr Pierson, a former senior manager on the 737 production line, the new electrical issues are a symptom of something more serious.

During congressional hearings into the crashes involving the Max, he claimed that in 2018 the factory in Renton, near Seattle had become "dysfunctional" and "chaotic", as pressure increased to produce new aircraft as quickly as possible.

Earlier this year, he published a report that explicitly linked alleged production pressures with electrical anomalies and flight control system problems that occurred on both crashed aircraft prior to the accidents.

He suggested that defects in the wiring of both aircraft could have contributed to the erroneous deployment of the MCAS software, alongside sensor failures already implicated in the crashes.

He now says the disclosure of new problems reinforces his case.

"Yes, MCAS caused the airplanes to pitch down and crash", he explains. "But it was an electrical system malfunction that likely caused the angle of attack sensor to send faulty data to MCAS".

Mr Pierson believes that the 20-month recertification process which cleared the 737 Max to fly again focused on software design and pilot training, but failed to address the impact of production standards at the factory.

As a result, he says, it is "no surprise that new discoveries linked to 737 Max production defects continue to come to light" on an aircraft described by the FAA's Administrator Steve Dickson as "the most scrutinised transport aircraft in history".

Mr Pierson says he has written to the US Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, requesting a meeting to outline his concerns, but has not heard back.

Boeing emphatically denies any connection between production standards in the 737 factory and the two accidents involving the 737 Max.

It says: "The Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines accidents have been reviewed by numerous governmental and regulatory entities, and none of those reviews has found that production conditions in the factory contributed to the accidents."

Dai Whittingham is chief executive of the UK Flight Safety Committee, a group of organisations, including airlines and regulators, which promotes safety in commercial aviation.

He says that a direct link between the two accidents and the recently-discovered electrical flaws is "a hard connection to make".

But on one key point he appears to agree with Mr Pierson. "These issues are separate in how they've arisen", he explains, "but they may well have stemmed from the same corporate culture, with a focus on saving time and keeping costs down over maintaining quality".

The allegation that Boeing prioritised profit over safety in the run up to the two accidents is not new - and indeed was made by prosecutors when announcing a $2.5bn settlement with the aerospace giant earlier this year.

The company says it has learned many lessons as a result of the Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302 and Lion Air 610 accidents. It says it has "made fundamental changes" and continues "to look for ways to improve".

"Boeing is committed to restore trust, and we'll do it one airplane at a time," it said.

People within the company insist the changes which led to the current problems were not motivated by time or cost savings.

It's not clear how long the affected aircraft will remain grounded. The actual modifications required are expected to be relatively simple and are only expected to cost about $2,250 (£1,600) per aircraft. But the FAA is understood to be asking for detailed analysis to be sure all potential concerns have been dealt with.

With the scrutiny the 737 Max is under, neither Boeing, nor the FAA, can afford to make a mistake.

Interested in persona

harumanis_man — Mon, 24 Jun 2019 08:29:41 +0800

I plan to buy persona to drive for myself first then pass to my wife.

Reason is because my wife is taking care of our baby and she is not working. When our child big enough only then, my wife will start to look for job and can pay for the car herself.

For this reason I want to buy Persona and drive it for 1st year, then 2nd year hopefully wife find job, pass the car to her.

Ok, I have this issue, I want to have good CCRIS record with bank, not with too many loans. I plan to buy property in 2 years time. So I want to show bank that I don't have many loans.

As I buy the car first, I have to bear the HP and ownership under me. I know you going to ask me why I want to buy first, why not wait till wife get job then she buy ? Well long story, sorry I can't reveal here due to confidentiality, I have a reason.

1) So my question is how do I pass my car ownership and HP to my wife once she found a job? Can you help spell out the procedures ?
2) Another question is Persona a safe car, satisfy 5 star NCAAP ?
