    KLANG: A 44-year-old clerk who was waiting for her turn to buy items at a pharmacy in Taman Bayu Perdana here suffered an injury after being attacked by snatch thieves today.

    The woman suffered light injuries to her neck, knee and head after she was dragged by a snatch thief who had snuck up on her while she waited for her turn to patronise the Kim Chuan pharmacy at about 12.40pm.

    South Klang police chief ACP Shamsul Amar Ramli said the suspects, who came on a motorcycle, wore full face helmets and face masks.

    He said while the rider waited, his pillion rider hopped off before he tugged the victim’s handbag.

    Shamsul Amar said when the woman fell, the robber snatched the handbag and escaped the scene with his accomplice. The woman lost her personal documents, cash and credit cards.

    He added that the robbers’ motorcycle was fitted with fake registration plates.

    Footage of the incident, which was captured on a closed-circuit television camera, showed the victim waiting for her turn outside the pharmacy with two other female customers ahead of her.

    The victim is seen standing closest to the side lane of the pharmacy that is located in a corner unit shoplot and is seen falling on the street when the robber attacks her.

    The video went viral on social media today.

    More temporary hospitals to be opened if Covid-19 cases spike 4

    PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Health (MOH) will open more temporary hospitals if Covid-19 cases increase drastically.

    Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (pix) said the temporary hospitals would be for patients who did not need respiratory aid.

    “For example today we have 150 new cases. If we look at the daily situation, there is a sudden increase in new cases, we might open more temporary hospitals at halls and stadiums, if necessary.

    “If we receive 1,000 cases a day, we would probably use the temporary hospitals for cases of non-symptomatic but tested positive or patients tested positive with mild symptoms, which do not involve respiratory aid,“ he told a media conference on the development of Covid-19 today. – Bernama

    RM200 monthly assistance for firefighters during MCO: Zuraida 5

    KUALA LUMPUR: Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin (pix) today announced that Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) personnel will receive RM200 per month throughout the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO).

    She said the incentive was an appreciation of their roles and services as front liners as the country sought to combat the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak.

    “In recognition of the roles of JBPM personnel as front liners, the government through the ministry will provide RM200 per month throughout the MCO period,” she said in a public service announcement which was broadcast on all television stations today.

    She said the incentive was part of her ministry’s initiatives implemented under the RM250 billion people-centric economic stimulus package (Prihatin) announced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Friday.

    The Prihatin package covers all walks of life and also focuses on the B40 group, including those living in low-cost flats across the country, small traders and factory workers.

    Zuraida said several other initiatives implemented by her ministry under the Prihatin package include the six months rental payment exemption for the People’s Housing Projects (PPRs) under the ministry’s management, involving 3,636 units of housing and costing the government RM3 million.

    “There is also a six-month deferment of monthly repayment from April to September for the Rent to Own (RTO) of PPR units under the ministry’s management involving a total of RM5.7 million and 4,649 units of houses,” she said.

    Zuraida, who is also Ampang MP, said to ease the burden of borrowers, all pawn brokers registered under the ministry were directed to extend the redemption period without charging interest during the MCO period. – Bernama
