BELURAN: The multidisciplinary approach implemented through the Fertility Treatment Assistance and Infertility Advocacy (BuAI) initiative has provided benefits to the community, particularly women. Chief Minister's wife cum Pertubuhan Muafakat Titipan Amal Isteri Wakil Rakyat, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (Mutiara GRS) Chairperson Datin Seri Juliah Salag said the programme is highly commendable as it emphasises comprehensive aspects, including women's health, family financial management, mental therapy, CPR knowledge and early fire response measures. She said this when officiating the Santuni Kasih: Dari Keluarga untuk Komuniti Programme in conjunction with the BuAI initiative for Labuk at the Beluran Community Hall here on Tuesday. 'The efforts of all parties involved in making this programme a success reflect a collaborative spirit that should be emulated in all community empowerment initiatives. This holistic approach also aligns with the National Family Policy's aspirations, which emphasise physical, mental and social well-being as pillars of a Madani society's development. 'By integrating various beneficial aspects, participants gain valuable knowledge, including health-related topics such as cancer and government subsidies, basic CPR skills and financial management techniques. 'Therefore, I hope this programme will be expanded to all districts and serve as a model for high-impact social intervention. May every participant not only take home knowledge but also cultivate a spirit of compassion and responsibility toward their families and communities,' she said. Juliah added that the involvement of various government agencies and non-governmental organisations, which provided strong support and cooperation in ensuring the programme's success, is highly appreciated. 'Such collaborations also support initiatives to empower and improve the well-being of the people in this State. I would also like to extend my congratulations to the Sabah National Population and Family Development Board for their collaborative efforts in implementing various programs for the fourth consecutive year. 'On behalf of Mutiara GRS, I truly value this collaborative effort as a platform for us to collectively care for the people of this State,' she said. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

State-wide vape ban will not work; it'll only proliferate illicit drug-induced products
THE Malaysian Vapers Alliance (MVA) – a non-profit advocacy group that supports vaping s to help smokers quit – has opposed ban sale of vape products by state governments while calling on state policymakers to work alongside the federal government to regulate vape products in Malaysia. This is because a ban on sale of vape products by stopping the issuance of business licence for local traders will only create negative consequences especially when the federal government has already enacted laws to regulate vape products, according to MVA's president Khairil Azizi Khairuddin. 'Consumers want access to regulated products. But this situation will only force consumers to seek products from alternative source including illegal channels which will lead to flourishing of illegal vape products and underground market,' he envisages. MVA further revealed that banned substance, notably products laced and infused with drugs are not sold in vape shops but on online platforms including social media channels and applications such as Telegram. Last year alone, the Home Minister had during a Dewan Rakyat session cited a study by Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital which found that 65% of underage vape users in Kelantan were found to be vaping a substance known as magic mushrooms although the state has stopped licence issuance for vape shops and vape trading since 2015. 'Clearly, the ban on vape shops is not the right solution,' asserted Khairil. 'Instead, the authorities should ensure that only regulated vape products are available for sale in vape shops, increase enforcement efforts against the sale of products laced and infused with drugs on those channels, and by imposing heavy penalties including mandatory jail term for those involved.' Harm reduction is the way to go In a related development, MVA also stressed that the use of vape products should not be confused with drug use as data has shown that countries embracing harm reduction like Sweden, the UK and New Zealand are seeing record drops in smoking rates. 'Research from leading health authorities confirms vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking in addition to be more effective than traditional nicotine replacement therapies,' observed Khairil. 'However, banning risks pushing people back to cigarettes. As the evidence mounts, it's impossible to ignore the transformation that harm reduction has brought to public health.' In Sweden, for example, the widespread use of less harmful nicotine products has nearly eliminated smoking while New Zealand is on the path to a smoke-free future. 'The data is clear: when adults have access to regulated vaping products, smoking rates fall faster, more lives are saved and health inequalities are reduced. Yet, too often, these success stories are left out of the any conversation,' lamented Khairil. 'Coinciding with the recent World Vape Day on May 30, we urge policymakers to put facts before fear, to listen to the real experiences of people who have quit and address the issue with the real solution instead of stopping licence issuance to traders for sale of vape products.' – June 4, 2025 Images credit: Malaysian Vapers Alliance/Facebook

Sichuan province to offer extended marriage and maternity leave
The Sichuan province has emerged as one of the more progressive in China. (Wikipedia pic) HONG KONG : Health authorities in China's southwestern Sichuan province are proposing to extend marriage leave up to 25 days and maternity leave up to 150 days, to help create a 'fertility-friendly society' which boosts the country's population. The move comes as China's government struggles to boost birth rates in the world's second-largest economy. China's population fell for a third consecutive year in 2024 and experts have cautioned the downturn will continue to worsen. Sichuan's Health Commission, which published the draft on its website, is seeking public opinion and comments from May 30 to June 30. Sichuan province has a population of 84 million, more than most countries including Germany and the United Kingdom. The proposal would extend marriage leave by 400% from the five days currently given and more than double the existing 60-day maternity leave period. Sichuan also plans to extend paternity leave to 30 days from 20 days to 'facilitate the care of men for their wives after childbirth and help advocate that couples share the responsibility of raising children', authorities said. The province has emerged as one of the more progressive in China. It has allowed unmarried women to access IVF treatment and in 2023 authorities there announced that unmarried individuals would be eligible for benefits reserved for married couples. China's birth rates have been falling for decades as a result of the one-child policy China implemented from 1980 to 2015 as well as rapid urbanisation. The high cost of childcare and education as well as job uncertainty and a slowing economy have also discouraged many young Chinese from getting married and starting a family. Authorities rolled out a series of 'fertility friendly' measures in 2024 to minimise the challenge of having roughly 300 million Chinese expected to enter retirement in the coming decade – the equivalent of almost the entire US population. Measures include urging China's colleges and universities to provide 'love education' to emphasize positive views on marriage, love, fertility and family. In November, China's State Council, or cabinet, rallied local governments to direct resources towards fixing China's population crisis and spread respect for childbearing and marriages 'at the right age'. More than 2.6 million couples filed for divorce last year, the data showed, up 1.1% from 2.59 million in 2023.

He paid tribute to the victims - climbers, mountain guides and young adventurers - and acknowledged the enduring grief of their families while commending their strength and resilience. Peter also expressed deep appreciation to mountain guides, porters, rescuers, volunteers and locals whose sacrifices inspired long-term safety improvements, including the formation of Mosar and enhanced rescue protocols.
