Its director, Mohd Fauzi Mohamad, said the three suspects were detained in two separate raids, in Perlis and Alor Setar, between 10am and 11am today.

“The two senior officers were detained for allegedly accepting bribes from the contractor for unauthorised approval of expatriate passes for skilled and professional workers.
“They are believed to have so far approved 339 applications for 18,626 passes.

“Each individual paid about RM1,500 to get the passes approved,” he told a press conference here .

Fauzi added that to date, they had also seized five luxury vehicles and a high-powered motorcycle, branded watches and handbags valued at RM1 million, and frozen a fixed deposit account with almost RM1 million.

The case is being investigated under Section 17 (a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which provides for a jail sentence of up to 20 years and a fine of five times the bribe amount or RM10,000, whichever is higher, if found guilty.
The three suspects were taken to the Alor Setar court this morning for a remand order to be issued for them.

Sessions Court Assistant Registrar Wan Nor Fadzilah Wan Ibrahim allowed the three suspects to be remanded for a week beginning today to allow the MACC to conduct a detailed investigation.

Doctors who are mothers face discrimination

The female doctors who reported maternal discrimination were also more likely to report feeling burned out and more likely to value workplace changes that would make life easier for parents.

FEMALE-DOCTOR

CALIFORNIA: About two thirds of female physicians with children have experienced gender discrimination and one third report discrimination due to pregnancy, maternity leave or breastfeeding, according to a survey conducted last year.

The female doctors who reported maternal discrimination were also more likely to report feeling burned out and more likely to value workplace changes that would make life easier for parents.
Senior author Dr. Eleni Linos of the University of California, San Francisco was surprised to find “such high perceptions of discrimination” and particularly surprised “that such a high percentage was due to motherhood like breastfeeding, pregnancy and maternity leave.”

Linos told Reuters Health that the survey participants were drawn from the online community known as the Physician Moms Group, which is composed of nearly 70,000 physicians who are also mothers. The researchers posted a survey in the group in June 2016 that included questions about discrimination in the workplace.

They received 5,782 responses, with 78 percent reporting some type of discrimination.
About 66 percent reported gender discrimination and about 36 percent reported maternal discrimination. Of the 4,222 respondents who reported gender or maternal discrimination, about 40 percent reported both.

Among women reporting maternal discrimination, about 90 percent said it was due to pregnancy or maternity leave and about 48 percent said it was due to breastfeeding.

As reported in JAMA Internal Medicine, maternal discrimination mostly took the form of disrespectful treatment by support staff, being left out of administrative decisions and not receiving pay or benefits equal to their male peers.

Compared to physician-mothers who didn’t report workplace discrimination, those who did were more likely to report valuing workplace changes like longer paid maternity leave, help with child care, more breastfeeding support and additional sick days.

About 46 percent of doctors who reported maternal discrimination also reported burnout, compared to about 34 percent of those who didn’t report the discrimination.

In a separate report in the same journal, Dr. Monee Rassolian of Michigan State University in Flint and colleagues write that more than half of doctors in the United States reported at least one symptom of burnout in 2014.

They analyzed data from 9,452 doctors seeking certification from the American Board of Family Medicine and found an increased risk of burnout tied several workplace factors including stress and working in hectic environments.

“Burnout is a really important topic, because it has consequences for patient care and outcomes,” said Linos.

In an editorial accompanying the new research, two doctors who are mother and daughter point out that half of young physicians are women of childbearing age.

“Decisions about clinical staffing levels (including residency program size) should anticipate the need to schedule around reasonable maternity leave, reduced call schedules in late pregnancy, and part-time schedules for new mothers (and more and more often, fathers),” write Dr. Marcia Angell of Harvard Medical School in Boston and Dr. Lara Goitein of Christus St. Vincent Regional Hospital in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Linos said supporting doctors who are also mothers benefits the healthcare system through better care, better patient outcomes and better teachers for future generations.

“As a physician mother, I feel supporting physician moms is really essential for everyone,” she said.

Sarawak Report Editor calls Salleh Keruak Blind

DO YOU NEED NEW GLASSES, CAN’T YOU SEE I’M NOT THE WOMAN IN VIDEO CHASING ‘NOTORIOUS’ ROSMAH – S’WAK REPORT EDITOR FLAYS SALLEH KERUAK LEFT, RIGHT & CENTRE FOR PRESUMPTUOUS ACCUSATION


Watch video Below

Whistleblower website Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown has denied the accusation of stalking and harassing Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s wife Rosmah Mansor in London.

“Nothing to do with me. (Communications and Multimedia Minister) Salleh (Said Keruak) can see on the Internet what I look like – or do all foreign women look the same to Salleh?” she asked in an email to Malaysiakini.

Rewcastle-Brown was responding to Salleh, who last night accused Sarawak Report of shouting “slanderous allegations” at the prime minister’s wife.

Salleh had in a blog posting claimed the website demonstrated an “absolute lack of decorum and manners” by harassing Rosmah.

It is unclear what exactly had transpired, but Salleh’s posting coincided with a YouTube video uploaded by blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin titled “Sarawak Report stalks and harasses Rosmah Mansor in London, 8th May 2017”.

The video shows three individuals standing outside a compound in what appears to be London.

One of the individuals, a man, is heard telling the person recording the video that they should not have come to London if they did not want to be photographed.

Quizzed on this, Rewcastle-Brown said: “I believe this is to do with a documentary film crew doing something about 1MDB, but I can’t be sure as Rosmah is a bit notorious these days and it could be anybody.”

She claimed that Raja Petra should not be treated as a reliable source, especially when it concerned Rosmah.

Rosmah arrived in UK last Thursday with 32 Permata students and six teachers. She is slated to be there until tomorrow.

What about Ali Tinju’s harrasment of Maria Chin?



Meanwhile, DAP’s Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching took Salleh to task for criticising the alleged harassment of Rosmah but keeping mum when Bersih 2.0 chairperson Maria Chin Abdullah was harassed by Gerakan Merah leader Mohd Ali Baharom, better known as Ali Tinju.

“So I want to ask Salleh, does he think that decorum and manners are reserved only for their own kind? Only Rosmah and her kind have the right to demand decorum and manners from others, but ordinary people like Maria Chin do not?” she asked.

Teo said what the Bersih chairperson experienced was far worse than what Salleh alleged Rosmah had undergone in London.
Last September, Ali Tinju said Maria “tidak akan berjalan di atas bumi” (Maria will no longer walk on this earth), but the case was classified as ‘NFA’ (no further action) by the public prosecutor.

Teo said the British police would surely take action against the individuals involved if they had posed a threat to Rosmah.

“If Salleh thinks that people from all walks of life should be treated with decorum and respect, I would like him to join me in urging the public prosecutor to reconsider the case against Ali Tinju.

“Otherwise, Salleh is not as civilised as he thinks he is, but merely a Rosmah loyalist,” she added.

School In India Made Students Remove Clothing With Metal Over Exam Cheats Fear!!

Cheating in exams is common in India including paying large bribes to buy test papers. But this school is trying their best to avoid students cheating by installing a metal detector test outside the exam hall.

An unnamed student in New Delhi shared to local media that she was made to remove her bra in public by school authorities minutes before sitting in a crucial entrance test for India’s prestigious medical college.

Apparently, she was not the only who was told to remove their clothing! Another student was forced to remove the button on her jeans after it set off the metal detector. Her parent said:

“She was sent back, she came back and told me ‘Papa, the jeans button has to be removed, the button is an objectionable item.’ Promptly I removed the button,” the father told NDTV.

“Then I went to a shop about three kilometres from the exam centre and bought a new dress for her after getting the shop opened.”

The school principal, Jalaluddin K. told NDTV that he was unawarre of the students’s underwear ordeal but he admitted his school stuck to the rules.

“We have clear instructions that if the metal detector beeps, no one can be allowed inside. Whenever it beeped, we told students to remove what they have.”
