Express Tribune04-11-2024

A Malaysian woman, who dedicated six years to caring for her bedridden husband, was left heartbroken after he divorced her and quickly remarried following his recovery.
Nurul Syazwani, who married the man in 2016, served as his primary caregiver after he suffered a debilitating car accident two years into their marriage, which left him incapacitated for six years.
During this time, Syazwani provided unwavering support, handling daily tasks like feeding him through a nasogastric tube, changing his diapers, and assisting with bathing.
Despite her dedication, the man divorced her after regaining his health and remarried another woman just one week after the separation, prompting a wave of criticism from netizens who labelled him 'ungrateful and heartless.'
In 2019, Syazwani began documenting her caregiving journey on social media, gaining over 32,000 followers who supported her devotion.
Reflecting on her experience, she described her initial fears and the relentless daily responsibilities she undertook, often with assistance from her family.
While Syazwani graciously congratulated her ex-husband on his new marriage, her story has gone viral, with many condemning her ex-husband's actions and calling for greater recognition of caregivers' sacrifices.

Gas pipeline explosion injures more than 100 near Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur

Listen to article A massive fire erupted on the outskirts of Malaysia's capital on Tuesday, triggered by a gas leak from a pipeline owned by state-run energy company Petronas. The blaze injured over 100 people and caused widespread damage. The explosion, which occurred at approximately 8:10 AM local time in the town of Putra Heights, Selangor state, sent a fireball into the sky that was visible for kilometres around. A large plume of smoke also billowed above the area as the flames quickly spread, threatening nearby villages. Selangor's Deputy Police Chief, Mohamad Zaini Abu Hassan, confirmed that at least 112 people were injured, with 63 needing hospitalisation for burns, breathing problems, and other injuries. Authorities stated that no deaths have been reported so far, though some people were trapped in their homes when the fire broke out. As rescue operations continued, Malaysia's disaster management unit said that 82 residents had been rescued, and efforts to control the fire remained ongoing. Temporary shelters have been set up at nearby mosques for displaced families. Local authorities confirmed that Petronas had isolated the pipeline, and fire crews were working to extinguish the flames. "The situation is being closely monitored, and safety measures are in place to prevent further harm," a statement from Petronas said. Social media was flooded with images and videos of the blaze, with many locals reporting strong tremors and loud bangs as the explosion occurred. "We immediately ran out of the house when we heard the explosion," said a resident who was living about 200 meters from the site. Authorities are continuing their efforts to evacuate the area and provide medical assistance to those affected. The Malaysian government has urged people in the vicinity to stay clear of the affected zone, and relief efforts are being coordinated. The fire has left a significant mark on the local community, with 49 houses reported to have been damaged. Despite the severity of the blaze, authorities are hopeful that the situation will be under control soon. Petronas expressed regret over the incident and reassured the public that they were taking all necessary steps to manage the aftermath. The firm pledged to continue cooperating with local authorities to ensure the safety of affected residents and restore normalcy as quickly as possible. As of Tuesday afternoon, the fire's intensity had diminished, but a residual flame and smoke continued to be visible, according to witnesses several kilometres away.

Search for doomed MH370 resumes

Children write messages of hope for passengers of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. PHOTO: REUTERS A fresh search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has been launched more than a decade after the plane went missing in one of aviation's greatest enduring mysteries. Maritime exploration firm Ocean Infinity has resumed the hunt for the missing plane, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke said on Tuesday. Loke told reporters contract details between Malaysia and the firm were still being finalised but welcomed "the proactiveness of Ocean Infinity to deploy their ships" to begin the search for the plane, which went missing in March 2014. Loke said details about how long the search would last had not been negotiated yet. He also did not provide details about when exactly the British firm restarted its hunt. The Malaysian government said in December it had agreed to launch a new search for MH370. The Boeing 777 carrying 239 people disappeared from radar screens on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing
