Coordinate aid to Pos Simpor, Pos Gob during road repairs
KUALA TERENGGANU: All associations and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) intending to deliver aid to Pos Simpor and Pos Gob in Gua Musang, Kelantan, are urged to coordinate with the Department of Orang Asli Development (JAKOA) beforehand. JAKOA director-general Datuk Sapiah Mohd Nor said repair and upgrading works on the main roads leading to both areas are currently underway to ensure residents have better and more comfortable access. She said to prevent road damage during unpredictable weather, access, especially for heavy vehicles and four-wheel drives, needs to be restricted. 'JAKOA is in the process of upgrading the roads with this year's allocated budget... both villages (Pos Simpor and Pos Gob) are involved. 'Given the current unstable weather conditions, we want to minimise movement to avoid further damage. Aid can be channelled directly through JAKOA,' she said at the closing ceremony of the 2025 National Orang Asli Sports Carnival here last night. On May 17, a landslide damaged the main road to the two villages, home to about 3,000 Orang Asli residents from the Temiar tribe. However, the road has since been repaired and is now passable. Meanwhile, Sapiah said JAKOA has allocated RM3.9 million this year for the Human Capital Development Programme (PMI). Funding covers various scopes including leadership, student motivation, community classes, education outreach, career skills training and sports development, she added. 'These efforts have yielded results, with an increase in the number of SPM 2024 students achieving five or more A's, rising to 113 compared to 88 in 2023. 'In fact, this year we aim to sponsor 500 Orang Asli students to higher education institutions, up from 456 last year,' she said.

(Photos) Barbie Hsu's Ex-Husband Wang Xiaofei Remarries In A Lavish Wedding Ceremony
While fans continue to mourn the death of Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu (徐熙媛/大S), the private life of her businessman ex-husband Wang Xiaofei (汪小菲) garners media attention. Months after Barbie's death, the public figure tied the knot with his wife, Mandy Ma (马筱梅), in a lavish wedding ceremony. According to reports, Wang Xiaofei and Mandy tied the knot last Saturday (17th May 2025) at the Junwangfu Hotel in Beijing, China. Photos of the private celebration were shared online, showing the couple looking happy in their wedding garments. Mandy wore two styles of a Western wedding dress, along with a red Cheongsam. Meanwhile, Wang Xiaofei opted for a black suit and a traditional Chinese ensemble embroidered with a dragon motif. The wedding was also significant because of the reported cost. According to news outlets, Wang Xiaofei spared no expense for the event, allegedly spending 6.66 million yuan (approximately RM3.9 million) on the dowry. While the couple's wedding favours only had four items, they included a product from the luxury brand Bvlgari. Wang Xiaofei also reportedly asked guests not to give wedding gifts and money packets, showing his generosity. Of course, the union also had its fair share of controversies. Weeks before the wedding, Mandy's ex-husband accused her of infidelity and other allegations. Private photos of the bride from years ago were also leaked onto social media. Chinese fashion designer Lan Yu also reportedly rejected a request to design Mandy's wedding dress because she was a fan of Barbie, sparking debate. The wedding also came a week after the Hsu family observed the 100th day after Barbie's death. Fans recently reached out to the late actress' mother, asking about her thoughts on Wang Xiaofei and Mandy's wedding. The 70-year-old responded, 'I hope they can love my grandchildren and the children Barbie gave birth to with her life. They're (the grandchildren) close to me, but I can't see them. What kind of world and what kind of laws are these?'. Following Barbie's death, Wang Xiaofei gained custody of his two children, whom he shared with the late star. The two married in 2011 but divorced in 2021. Barbie and Wang Xiaofei were in a legal battle for years, up until Barbie's untimely death in early February 2025. Here's a look at the wedding: Sources: China Press (1)(2)(3)(4)
