Plug the leak, says Ronald Kiandee

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee (PN–Beluran) has criticised the Transport Ministry over what he claimed was prolonged inaction in fixing a leak at the Sandakan Airport in Sabah.
In a Facebook post today, he said the leak had persisted for almost a year without repairs, with multiple buckets placed to prevent the floor from getting wet.
"It's been leaking for almost a year. No action has been taken. Is it so difficult to fix? They're willing to place multiple buckets to stop the water from overflowing onto the floor.
"Truly embarrassing. Doesn't the Transport Ministry feel anything about this?" he wrote.
The post, which included a location – 'Sandakan Airport, state of Sabah, country of Malaysia' – has drawn public comments online.

Australia grants asylum to former HK lawmaker and pro-democracy activist Ted Hui

Former lawmaker Ted Hui left Hong Kong late in 2020 after facing criminal charges over the 2019 pro-democracy protests. -- PHOTO: REUTERS HONG KONG/BEIJING (Reuters): Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Ted Hui has been granted asylum in Australia, the former lawmaker said in a Facebook post on Saturday, more than four years after he left Hong Kong where he faces criminal charges over the 2019 pro-democracy protests. Hui said he received written notice from the Australian Department of Home Affairs on Friday approving his claim and that his wife, children and parents were also granted visas. "When people around me say 'congratulations' to me, although I politely thank them, I can't help but feel sad in my heart. How to congratulate a political refugee who misses his hometown?" he said in the Facebook post. "If it weren't for political persecution, I would never have thought of living in a foreign land. Immigrants can always return to their hometowns to visit relatives at any time; Exiles have no home." The Home Affairs Department did not immediately respond to emailed questions sent after business hours. The Hong Kong government and China's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to questions about the decision. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited Beijing last month as part of his administration's years-long push to improve ties with China. A former Democratic Party lawmaker, Hui left Hong Kong late 2020 after facing criminal charges over the 2019 pro-democracy protests. In 2023 Hong Kong accused him and seven others of national security offences, including incitement to secession, and put HK$1 million ($127,782) bounties on their heads. Australia said it was disappointed by the decision at the time and concerned about the law. Pro-democracy businessman Jimmy Lai is currently on trial in Hong Kong on charges related to a national security law imposed by Beijing and alleged sedition.
