Headmaster dies after being found unconscious in Tampin school
According to Sinar Harian, the 44-year-old female principal of SJKC Kampung Baru Gedok, who was to attend an Entrepreneurs' Day event at the school, had earlier complained of feeling unwell before she decided to rest in her office briefly.
Tampin MP Datuk Mohd Isam Mohd Isa said he was supposed to officiate the event at 11am but was informed of the principal's death by his officers an hour earlier.
"I was told that before the deceased was found unconscious in her office, she complained of suffering some discomfort to another teacher and had wanted to rest in her room.
However, when a teacher went to check on her later, the deceased was found unconscious. She was then taken to the Gemencheh health clinic, where she was pronounced dead. She had served at the school for just eight months and was previously with SJKC Air Kuning," he told Sinar Harian.
Isam said the news was a shock to him as he had met the deceased at his office just a week ago.
He said that according to the deceased's husband, the woman did not have a history of any health conditions.

7,862 Homeless Individuals Taken In Since 2021
KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) -- A total of 7,862 homeless individuals have been taken in by the Social Welfare Department (JKM) from 2021 until May this year, said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri. The yearly breakdown is as follows: 1,528 people in 2021, 1,280 in 2022, 2,080 in 2023, 1,987 in 2024, and 987 up to May this year. Kuala Lumpur recorded the highest number with 1,742 cases, followed by Penang (1,288) and Johor (1,199). 'In terms of age, 515 were under 18, while 5,068 were aged between 18 and 59, and 2,018 were 60 and above. The ages of some individuals could not be confirmed,' she said during question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today. She was responding to Datuk Mohd Isam Mohd Isa (BN-Tampin), who asked for updated homelessness data by state and age group, as well as the government's plans to address the issue, especially in major cities. Nancy said the JKM acts on public complaints and also carries out regular and joint operations with agencies such as the Ministry of Health, Immigration Department, National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK), and local authorities (PBT). In response to a supplementary question on the 2022 review of the Destitute Persons Act 1977, she said the government had identified outdated provisions and found that a more practical and suitable approach is needed. 'The ministry is working on comprehensive strategies to tackle homelessness. These efforts include enforcement against beggars and the homeless to ensure initiatives are well-coordinated and focused on helping them rebuild their lives,' she said. -- BERNAMA
