Firefighters urged to practise caution on social media
LABUAN: Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) personnel have been reminded to exercise prudence and professionalism when using social media, as digital platforms now hold considerable influence over public opinion and the reputation of institutions. Its director-general, Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad said platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube could serve as powerful tools to promote the department's image when used responsibly. He stressed, however, that the management of public perception on social media must be approached with caution. 'Misuse of these platforms, particularly through emotional or misleading criticism could jeopardise the credibility of the department. 'Our personnel must remain neutral and refrain from making unfounded comments or disseminating inaccurate information that could discredit any party or provoke public sensitivity,' he said at the Fire Service Medal Award Ceremony, 2024 Excellent Service Award, 30-Year Service Certificate, and Commendable Service Certificate at a leading hotel here today. Nor Hisham reminded fire and rescue personnel that they are bound by the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993, Official Secrets Act 1972, and the department's social media guidelines. 'Upholding these regulations is crucial to maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of the department,' he said. Nor Hisham also outlined several strategic areas of focus for the Labuan JBPM this year, among them is the continued commitment to the Labuan Emergency Mutual Aid (LEMA) framework, which is vital in managing risks associated with the island's oil and gas sector. He noted the need to review the LEMA manual, as the current version refers to the now-defunct MKN Directive No. 20, which has been replaced by the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) Directive No. 1. Nor Hisham highlighted the department's role in promoting water safety awareness in line with the government's CHASE (Clean, Healthy, Advanced, Safe and Eco-Friendly) City vision. CHASE City vision particularly follows the RM39 million allocation for the Victoria Harbour Beach waterfront development. 'JBPM will be responsible for advising on and enforcing water safety standards as part of its duties under the Majlis Keselamatan Aktiviti Air (MKAA),' he said. He further announced that the federal government has approved the construction of 72 new quarters for the staff of the Labuan JBPM, at a total cost of RM70 million, with RM300,000 allocated for 2025. He called on local officers to ensure that the project would be carried out according to the schedule. Nor Hisham also reiterated JBPM's support for the 'One Billion Readiness Initiatives', which aims to train 4.5 million people in fire and emergency response from 2025 to 2027. 'This includes delivering 12,000 community education programmes to increase public preparedness,' he said. Commending Labuan JBPM's outstanding achievements in physical fitness and competency, he noted their perfect 100 per cent pass rate in the Firefighter Fitness Test and remarkable success in the Wellness Hub programme, which surpassed its target with a 162 per cent completion rate. The department also performed well in tactical and individual competency assessments,' he added.

Today's Wordle answer for Tuesday, March 18
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There's a hint for today's Wordle just below, designed to give you some guessing guidance while still leaving you enough room to work your puzzle solving magic. Use it before you've tried a single word if you want to give yourself a flying start, or save it for later if those yellow letters refuse to behave. The March 18 (1368) answer is here too, just in case. The single yellow letter in my opening row didn't give me a lot of hope, but I persevered and eventually found myself with a full set of winning greens after a few more attempts. Make sure you take a peek at today's clue if you'd like a better first line than I had. A mechanism for measuring time, but not a clock. If you need to know when an egg's cooked or a test's over, this is the thing to use. No, there is not a double letter in today's puzzle. A good starting word can be the difference between victory and defeat with the daily puzzle, but once you've got the basics, it's much easier to nail down those Wordle wins. And as there's nothing quite like a small victory to set you up for the rest of the day, here are a few tips to help set you on the right path: A good opening guess should contain a mix of unique consonants and vowels. Narrow down the pool of letters quickly with a tactical second guess. Watch out for letters appearing more than once in the answer. There's no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don't need to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way, you can come back to it later if you're coming up blank. Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares. Another win? Another win. The answer to the March 18 (1368) Wordle is TIMER. Past Wordle answers can give you some excellent ideas for fun starting words that keep your daily puzzle-solving fresh. They are also a good way to eliminate guesses for today's Wordle, as the answer is unlikely to be repeated. Here are some recent Wordle answers: March 17: LASSO March 16: STAMP March 15: LADLE March 14: PIECE March 13: CHASE March 12: MANGO March 11: TRACK March 10: SPITE March 9: GREED March 8: NAVEL Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and you'll need to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them to keep up your winning streak. You should start with a strong word like ARISE, or any other word that contains a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You'll also want to avoid starting words with repeating letters, as you're wasting the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you'll see which ones you've got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn't in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you've got the right letter in the right spot. Your second guess should compliment the starting word, using another "good" word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn't present in today's answer. With a bit of luck, you should have some coloured squares to work with and set you on the right path. After that, it's just a case of using what you've learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there's an E). Don't forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS). If you need any further advice feel free to check out our Wordle tips, and if you'd like to find out which words have already been used you can scroll to the relevant section above. Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn't long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it's only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.

Wordle hints today for #1,366: Clues and answer for Sunday, March 16
Hey, there! It's Sunday, which means it's time to curl up in a cozy spot and enjoy today's Wordle. For those who'd like a little help to maintain their streak, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Sunday's puzzle (#1,366). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. The gist is that there is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,300 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game. Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed: Yesterday's Wordle answer for Saturday, March 15 — LADLE Friday, March 14 — PIECE Thursday, March 13 — CHASE Wednesday, March 12 — MANGO Tuesday, March 11— TRACK Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word. In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle. This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead. Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer: Piece of paper attached to a letter or package to show postage has been paid. There are no repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is S. This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs. Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself. What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is... STAMP Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.
