THE Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit (Mitra) has announced that RM39 mil will be allocated to assist the B40 Indians this year. This essentially means financially assisting undergraduate students, assisting Tamil kindergartens in Tamil schools and assisting kidney patients by subsidising the costs of dialysis. I am glad that Mitra has taken on the role of focusing on target groups rather than providing funds for the NGOs. It is not that some well-deserving NGOs should not be assisted, but the bulk of the RM100 mil budget should go to the poor and underprivileged target groups in the B40 category.

Jake is living la vida Cuenca na may kwenta. Here are quotes from Jake: Richard Gutierrez and I are all pumped up for the finale of 'Iron Heart' in a few weeks.

AstraZeneca said Monday that a mid-stage trial of its cancer drug Enhertu, co-developed with Daiichi Sankyo, showed positive results across multiple HER2-expressing advanced solid tumors in heavily pre-treated patients. The ongoing DESTINY-PanTumor02 Phase II trial is assessing the efficacy and safety of Enhertu in patients with locally advanced or metastatic previously treated solid tumors that are not eligible for curative therapy, including cervical, ovarian, pancreatic, and rare cancers. 'Enhertu has already demonstrated its potential to improve outcomes for patients with HER2-targetable breast, gastric and lung cancers, and these positive initial results in other tumor settings with significant unmet need are very encouraging,' Cristian Massacesi, AstraZeneca's chief medical officer and oncology chief development officer, said in a statement.

The Energy Efficiency Council today welcomes the Andrews Government's decision to phase out gas connections for new homes from January 2024. EEC CEO Luke Menzel said "all-electric homes are all-good for Victorian families. They are cheaper to run, healthier to live in, and help lower emissions." Analysis by consumer group Renew found that building an all-electric home could reduce household energy bills by 35 per cent, and that these savings can double when electrification is paired with rooftop solar and energy efficiency upgrades.

Just in time for your summer reading, a donation of books to the Yokosuka MWR Library's Japanese section will take you on mysterious journeys around the country. These powerful novels are much more than the typical "Who done It?" novels. There are a few masterfully crafted classic, "Locked Room" genre, but they are merely the background landscape in an insightful view of Japanese culture, history, and traditions. I've lived in Japan for 24 years now and have travelled through much of Japan. Yet, reading these novels are something like my hikes along the remote regions of the Michinoku Coastal Trail.

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Transportation (DOTr) on Tuesday approved a P2.29 fare hike for the boarding fares of Light Rail Transit Line 1 and 2, as well as a P0.21 hike to the rail lines' distance fare. However, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, in a press briefing, said that the implementation of the fare increases had been deferred 'pending a thorough study on the economic impact' to commuters in compliance with an instruction from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. When asked how long the DOTr will defer the new fare's implementation, Bautista said that it might take a few months.
