There was no bullying incident at Lahad Datu Hospital that led to the death of pathologist Dr Tay Yien Yaa, said an Independent Task Force.
It found that she was stressed due to her workload, although the tasks were still within her job scope.
Tay allegedly died by suicide last Sept, with her family claiming mistreatment.
🧵1
"Kita dapati tugasan yang dilakukan mendiang seperti mana ditetapkan dalam senarai tugas. Tidak ada satu-satunya yang kita dapati di luar skop atau bidang tugas.
"Selaku Timbalan Ketua Jabatan, Tay juga menguruskan perolehan, isu penjagaan stor dan sebagainya," it said.
🧵2
Regarding claims that the HOD mistreated Tay, the task force said it found no evidence of such behavior.
Interviews with her colleagues and subordinates confirmed a professional work environment, with no reports of conflict or bullying.
SPAN has urged local councils to mandate alternative water supply plans for new data centres to prevent shortages as developments grow in Johor and Selangor.
The commission warned that reliance on treated water for cooling systems will be unsustainable in 3 to 5 years.
🧵1
“Before the local councils give approvals to build these large-scale centres, they must make sure to state to investors and respective parties the existence of rainwater harvesting, including clean water.
“It cannot be an afterthought,” said chairman Charles Santiago.
🧵2
SPAN called on the federal government to mandate efficient water use in data centres, prioritising alternative sources and sustainability.
States must also ensure raw water sufficiency before approving new projects, especially in areas where water demand is already high.
Chief Justice Tengku Maimun said there is a need to correct misunderstandings about Islam, even among Muslims.
The top judge cited M Indira Gandhi's case, clarifying there is no basis in Islam to deprive her of her children, attributing the issue to state and federal overlaps.

Tengku Maimun said despite the civil court granting custody to the mother, conflicting orders issued by the Shariah court complicated the process.
Faced with the conflicting orders, the mother then sought a judicial review, requesting police assistance to reunite her with her children.
🧵2
"I was then told that when I decided on cases, I did not uphold Islamic principles or protect Islam.
"However, when I asked which principles of Islam we must uphold, I received no reply.
"This has nothing to do with Islamic principles. It is a plain principle of justice that a mother should not be deprived of her children, and vice versa," she asserted.
Khazanah Research Institute says rising house prices in Malaysia are influenced by extended mortgage repayment periods rather than actual property values.
Longer tenures create an illusion of affordability, driven by innovative financing methods.
🧵1
Theebalakshmi Kunasekaran from KRI highlights that unaffordable homes aren't just a wage issue.
She adds wage increments, even with minimum wage intervention, can't keep up with rapid house price escalation.
🧵2
Theebalakshmi said between 2012-2014, median house prices grew at 23% CAGR, reaching RM270,000, while household incomes grew at less than half that rate.
This affordability gap continues to widen as incomes fail to match house price growth.
The senior police officer who rammed into 17-year-old Zaharif Affendi Zamrie with his car last year, was travelling at 90.9kph at the time of the collision.
The Ipoh High Court was told that data from the vehicle’s ABS and stability control systems showed the brake pedal was not pressed, with the accelerator at maximum during the incident.
🧵1
“The steering angle was at -2.5 degrees. The accelerator was at a maximum, causing the brake assist to not operate due to the acceleration.
“If the driver in this case suddenly applied the brakes, the ABS data would have been recorded,” a Perodua technical assistant said.
🧵2
He added that the pre-collision brake alerts the driver of a potential vehicle or pedestrian in front, while brake assist activates if a collision is imminent.
However, brake assist is disabled if the driver overrides the system by swerving, braking, or accelerating.
A new analysis of acne creams and cleansers found that dozens of products, including popular brands like Proactiv and Clearasil, contain chemical linked to cancer.
Researchers tested over 100 benzoyl peroxide products and found ⅓ were contaminated with high levels of benzene.
🧵1
The analysis found Proactiv contained 18 times the amount of benzene allowed in US drugs, while a CVS brand face wash had 13 times the US FDA's safety limit.
The findings support an earlier controversial study, increasing pressure on the FDA to address the products' safety.
🧵2
“The results presented here suggest that a substantial portion of the BPO acne treatment market currently contains unacceptably high levels of benzene in products sitting on the shelf,” the study by Valisure wrote.
The issue was initially uncovered in another earlier analysis, prompting the lab to file a petition with the FDA to recall those it had found with high levels of benzene.
