GOVERNMENT-BACKED AGENCY SCRAPS AFRICA 'HOMETOWN' PROGRAM AFTER BACKLASH -TOKYO JAPAN

The Japanese government-backed aid agency said Thursday that it will scrap its "hometown" program after designated cities were inundated with protest calls and emails amid claims it would encourage immigration from Africa.

Japan International Cooperation Agency President Akihiko Tanaka said at a press conference that while the program will be scrapped, "We intend to continue supporting initiatives that promote international exchange."

"I would also like to make it clear once again that JICA has never engaged in efforts to promote immigration, and we have no intention of doing so in the future," he added.

After the agency designated four cities last month as municipalities to strengthen exchanges with the continent, local authorities received a flood of complaints from residents alleging that increased migration from Africa would worsen public order.

Tanaka apologized to the local governments involved, saying misunderstandings and confusion over the program had "placed an excessive burden on them."

Under the "JICA Africa Hometown" program, the four cities were assigned partner countries in Africa -- Imabari in Ehime Prefecture was paired with Mozambique, Kisarazu in Chiba Prefecture with Nigeria, Nagai in Yamagata Prefecture with Tanzania, and Sanjo in Niigata Prefecture with Ghana.

Following the announcement made on the sidelines of the ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development held in Yokohama in August, the Nigerian government said Japan would "create a special visa category for highly skilled, innovative, and talented young Nigerians who want to move to Kisarazu to live and work."

The Japanese government said it does not plan to create such a visa and requested Nigeria to correct its information.

Japan has traditionally adopted strict immigration policies and a cautious stance toward foreign workers, while accepting a growing number of "specified skilled workers" from abroad to make up for a chronic labor shortage amid an aging society and declining birthrate.

JAPAN TO START NEW FOREIGN TRAINEE PROGRAM WITH JOB FLEXIBILITY IN 2027 - TOKYO JAPAN

JAPAN TO START NEW FOREIGN TRAINEE PROGRAM WITH JOB FLEXIBILITY IN 2027 - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

The Japanese government on Friday approved replacing its controversial foreign trainee program in 2027 with a new system aimed at improving rights protections, offering increased flexibility for job changes and implementing tougher oversight.

With related laws taking effect on April 1, 2027, foreign workers will be allowed to change workplaces within the same industry under certain conditions, marking a turnaround from the existing program that prohibited job transfers in principle and has resulted in many fleeing harsh working environments.

Under the new program for training and securing labor, Japan will accept foreign workers in 17 industries, including construction and farming, which face severe labor shortages.

It will also promote their transition to the Specified Skilled Worker status, which allows medium- to long-term employment, after working for three years in principle.

The original program was launched in 1993 as a way to transfer skills to developing countries, but it has been criticized as a cover for the importation of cheap labor as Japan's working-age population declines. It will be abolished the day the new program takes effect.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said, "It is essential for Japan to become a country that is chosen as an attractive place of employment" amid the global competition to secure human resources.

TOP COURT SAYS PASSPORT DENIAL OF JAPANESE JOURNALIST ILLEGAL - TOKYO JAPAN

TOP COURT SAYS PASSPORT DENIAL OF JAPANESE JOURNALIST ILLEGAL - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

The top court has ruled that the Japanese government's decision not to reissue a passport to journalist Jumpei Yasuda, who was held captive in war-torn Syria for more than three years, was illegal.

The Supreme Court's decision, dated Wednesday, upholds lower court rulings in favor of Yasuda, a 51-year-old freelance war reporter who was freed in 2018. He brought his case to court in 2020, arguing that denial of a passport violates the freedom to travel abroad guaranteed by the Constitution.

According to the latest ruling, Yasuda asked in January 2019 for his passport to be reissued after he returned home following his release from captivity. His passport had been taken from him while he was held captive by a militant group in Syria.

But later that year, the Japanese Foreign Ministry rejected his application on grounds that Turkey had imposed a five-year entry ban on Yasuda following his release. The passport law stipulates that the government may restrict passport issuance if a destination country denies that person's entry.

After he returned home, Yasuda was met by strong criticism by some people saying his action in traveling to Syria was irresponsible. He was further criticized when issuance of a new passport was rejected and he decided to sue.

PUTUS CINTA PUNCA LELAKI KERAT TEMAN WANITA SEHINGGA 300 CEBISAN - JAKARTA INDONESIA

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

JAKARTA, INDONESIA - Seorang lelaki berusia 24 tahun di Indonesia ditahan selepas didakwa membunuh kejam pasangannya yang berusia 25 tahun dan memotong badannya kepada lebih 300 keping, lapor laman berita Indonesia, Tempo.

Kejadian berlaku pada 31 Ogos apabila suspek, Alvi Maulana, menikam leher mangsa, Tiara Angelina Saraswati, menggunakan pisau dapur di bilik sewa mereka di Jalan Lidah Wetan, Surabaya.

Selepas memastikan Tiara meninggal dunia, Alvi dipercayai mula memotong tubuh kekasihnya menggunakan pisau dapur, pisau besar, tukul dan gunting besi.

Sebahagian anggota badan dibuang di semak, manakala selebihnya disimpan di bilik sewa.

Sebanyak 65 keping anggota badan dibuang di semak, manakala baki yang lain disimpan di bilik sewa suspek.

Kejadian terbongkar apabila seorang penduduk tempatan menemui kepingan tubuh mangsa dan memaklumkan kepada polis, membawa kepada siasatan pada 6 September lalu.

Melalui penggunaan Sistem Identifikasi Biometrik Berbilang Automatik Mudah Alih (MAMBIS), identiti Tiara disahkan.

Alvi mengaku membunuh mangsa dan mendakwa motifnya adalah “patah hati”, walaupun punca sebenar kemurungan emosi suspek masih tidak jelas.

Beliau kini didakwa atas kes pembunuhan berancang dan berdepan kemungkinan hukuman penjara seumur hidup atau hukuman mati.

Jabatan Forensik Hospital Pusdik Sabhara Porong mengesahkan telah menerima 310 keping anggota badan setakat ini dan masih mencari bahagian lain, yang akan diuji DNA bagi membantu siasatan.

INQUEST: SENIOR STUDENT ADMITS SCOLDING, SHOUTING AT ZARA QAIRINA MAHATHIR THE NIGHT BEFORE INCIDENT - KOTA KINABALU SABAH MALAYSIA

INQUEST: SENIOR STUDENT ADMITS SCOLDING, SHOUTING AT ZARA QAIRINA MAHATHIR THE NIGHT BEFORE INCIDENT - KOTA KINABALU SABAH MALAYSIA 

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

KOTA KINABALU, SABAH MALAYSIA: A senior student of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Tun Datu Mustapha, Papar, told the Coroner's Court here on Wednesday (Oct 15) that she scolded and shouted at Zara Qairina Mahathir the day before the teenager was found unconscious.

The student, who is the dormitory head and 14th witness, said this in her testimony on the 23rd day of the inquest into Zara Qairina's death before Coroner Amir Shah Amir Hassan.

Lawyer Shahlan Jufri, representing Zara Qairina's mother, said the witness told him that she became angry because Zara Qairina denied stealing her Malaysian flag pin, which was found in Zara Qairina's bag.

"The witness also confirmed that on the night of July 15, Zara Qairina was questioned by several senior students regarding the theft of her (14th witness) wallet, ATM card, cash and Malaysian flag pin.

"The witness said she only asked about the flag pin to Zara Qairina and not about the allegations of the loss of other junior students' belongings.

"The witness said Zara Qairina denied stealing the flag pin," said Shahlan when met by reporters after the proceedings.

Shahlan said the witness also told him that a junior student had sought permission to conduct a spot check on Zara Qairina’s locker and bag before later being told about the discovery of a flag pin inside her bag.

"The witness said she was unsure whether the pin was actually found in Zara Qairina’s bag. She said she allowed the junior student to carry out the check and confirmed that she was in the room at the time, but did not supervise the (junior) student doing the check,” he said.

Meanwhile, lawyer Joan Goh, representing one of the teenagers involved in Zara Qairina’s case, said the witness stated that she did not hit Zara Qairina nor did she see anyone else hit the girl.

Goh said that according to the witness, she saw Zara Qairina walking out of the room at about 12.30am, but did not know where she went

"Shortly after that, when the witness was about to leave her room to go to another dormitory, a resident approached and told her that she had seen Zara Qairina crying in the third-floor toilet.

"The witness said she remained silent and continued to the other room to sleep with her friends,” said Goh.

Another lawyer,  Azhier Farhan Arisin, representing four teenagers involved in the case, said the witness told him that she did not know what happened to Zara Qairina before the girl was found unconscious and was only awakened at about 4am by a teacher.

Zara Qairina, 13, was confirmed dead at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, here on July 17, after being found unconscious in a drain near her school dormitory at 4am on July 16.

LIMA PEMBUNUH SEBABKAN KEMATIAN ZARA QAIRINA DIDAKWA GUNA KAEDAH KOMUNIKASI - AG KOTA KINABALU SABAH MALAYSIA

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA  – [DIKEMAS KINI] Seramai lima remaja perempuan berusia bawah 18 tahun akan didakwa di Mahkamah Kanak-kanak Kota Kinabalu, Sabah pada Rabu ini atas pertuduhan membuli pelajar Tingkatan Satu, Allahyarhamah Zara Qairina Mahathir dengan mengugut melalui komunikasi.

Peguam Negara, Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar berkata, pendakwaan terhadap kesemua remaja terbabit akan dibuat mengikut Seksyen 507C (1) Kanun Keseksaan (Pindaan 2025).

Seksyen itu memperuntukkan hukuman penjara maksimum setahun atau denda atau kedua-duanya, jika sabit kesalahan.

“Mereka akan dituduh pada lusa kerana kesalahan berkaitan kes buli Allahyarhamah Zara Qairina,” katanya ketika dihubungi pada Isnin.

Mengikut peruntukan tersebut, sesiapa sahaja yang dengan apa-apa cara menggunakan perkataan atau komunikasi berunsur ancaman, kesat atau menghina sehingga menyebabkan seseorang merasa diganggu, tertekan, takut atau bimbang, boleh dikenakan tindakan undang-undang.

Sebelum ini, Jabatan Peguam Negara (AGC) mengesahkan pihaknya meneliti kertas siasatan polis dan membuat keputusan menuduh beberapa individu yang terbabit dalam kes buli berkenaan berdasarkan keterangan yang diperoleh.

AGC turut menjelaskan, keputusan menuduh suspek bagi kesalahan buli tidak akan menjejaskan prosiding inkues kematian Zara Qairina yang akan dijalankan di mahkamah.

Sinar Harian sebelum ini melaporkan prosiding inkues bagi kes kematian gadis asal Sipitang, Sabah itu ditetapkan bermula 3 September ini selama 19 hari.
