Muslims in Singapore to celebrate Aidiladha on June 7 as well, same as Malaysia
SINGAPORE, May 28 — Muslims in Singapore will celebrate Hari Raya Aidiladha on June 7, the country's mufti Dr Nazirudin Mohd Nasir announced yesterday.
He said according to astronomical calculations, the crescent moon was not visible above Singapore's horizon after sunset on the evening of Tuesday.
As such, May 28 will be the 30th and final day of the month of Zulkaedah.
'Therefore, the month of Zulhijjah 1446H will begin on Thursday (May 29). This means Hari Raya Aidiladha will fall on June 7,' he said in a statement.
Nazirudin urged Muslims to take this opportunity during the sacred days of this holy month to increase their worship and prayers for the safety of the Haj pilgrims and for all those who are oppressed, especially in Gaza, Palestine.
'Wishing all Muslims in Singapore a blessed arrival of the month of Zulhijjah and Aidiladha,' he added. — Bernama

China thanks Indian Navy, Coast Guard for swift rescue of its nationals from burning vessel off Kerala coast
NEW DELHI: China has expressed its gratitude towards the Indian Navy and the Mumbai Coast Guard for their 'prompt and professional' rescue of eight Chinese nationals, who were among the 22 crew members on board the Singapore-flagged container vessel — MV Wan Hai 503 — which caught fire after explosions off the Kerala coast. The Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in India, Yu Jing, posted on X: 'On June 9, MV Wan Hai 503 encountered an onboard explosion and fire 44 nautical miles off Azhikkal, Kerala. Of the total 22 crew members on board, 14 are Chinese, including 6 from Taiwan. Our gratitude goes to the Indian Navy and the Mumbai Coast Guard for their prompt and professional rescue. We wish further search operations successful and the injured crew members a speedy recovery.' Earlier on Monday (June 9), the vessel, which was on its way from Colombo to Nhava Sheva, caught fire after an explosion under deck in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Kozhikode in Kerala. The incident was reported when the vessel was approximately 78 nautical miles off Beypore. Of the 22 people on board, 18 jumped into the sea. They have been rescued by the Navy. Four members, who went for the initial firefighting, are reported missing. Five crew members have sustained injuries, and two have suffered severe burns. The vessel is presently adrift, and firefighting efforts by the Indian Coast Guard are underway even as fires and explosions persisted from mid‑ships to the container bay ahead of the accommodation block. In a statement on Tuesday, the Indian Coast Guard said that the forward‑bay fire is now under control, though thick smoke remains. 'Vessel is listing approx 10–15° to port. More containers reported overboard. India Coast Guard ships Samudra Prahari & Sachet are conducting fire-fighting operations & boundary cooling. ICG Ship Samarth, along with salvors being deployed from Kochi,' said the Indian Coast Guard. - The Statesman/ANN

Indian coastguard battles blaze on container ship
NEW DELHI: India's coastguard said Tuesday it was battling to stop a fierce blaze that has engulfed a Singapore-flagged container ship listing off the southern coast that broke out a day earlier. The 268-metre (879-foot) container vessel MV Wan Hai 503 carrying 22 crew members caught fire some 78 nautical miles off India's Beypore port on Monday. Eighteen crew members were rescued by the Indian coastguard and navy, with four still missing. Indian Coast Guard said Tuesday that 'fires and explosions persist' on the vessel, which was tilting at around '10–15 degrees'. They issued photographs that showed flames leaping from the stacked containers, with the ship surrounded by thick plumes of billowing black smoke. Initial images on Monday showed heavy containers that had seemingly been hurled up by a powerful explosion on board, with the coastguard saying that some were in the water. Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority had said there were 'some injuries' among the crew. Coastguard vessels alongside the blackened and burning ship poured jets of water onto the flames, according to video footage released. The MV Wan Hai container ship is the second to run into trouble off India's southern coast within weeks. A Liberian-flagged container ship with hazardous cargo sank off the coast of Kerala on May 24. The Indian navy rescued all 24 crew members.
