TUMPAT - Hampir dua tahun terumbang-ambing kesan daripada Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP), 60 peniaga Pasar Malam Geting masih berharap kerajaan dapat membenarkan mereka membuka perniagaan di tapak itu.

IPOH - Peniaga dan penjaja berharap kerajaan memberi kelonggaran dengan membenarkan pembukaan pasar malam walaupun Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) 3.0 disambung semula.
Seorang peniaga, Abdul Rahman Arshad, 48, kehidupan golongan itu terus tertekan apabila banyak tempat perniagaan ditutup terutama pasar malam.
Jelasnya, walaupun Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh (MBI) membenarkan mereka berniaga di tepi jalan menggunakan lesen perniagaan sementara tetapi jumlah jualan agak rendah berbanding di pasar malam. Azizul Kama (dua dari kiri) menyerahkan sumbangan kepada peniaga yang terjejas pada Program Kongsi Rezeki secara pandu lalu di perkarangan Masjid Jamek Medan Klebang Restu, di sini pada Ahad.
The accents of Hong Kong’s Eurasian, Portuguese communities are dying out – and with them a rich local culture, too
Cantonese first-language inter-ference with non-native English speakers pronunciation is widely known, and unconsciously amusing up-and-down inflections have been the butt of cruel humour for decades. Examples are legion; elision of L and R sounds into flied lice and the like are weary staples for racist-tinged humorists .
Less remembered are the distinctive accents - now largely vanished - of Hong Kong s minority communities, for whom English was (mostly) a first tongue, yet heavily influenced by other languages. Until broader educational opportunities in recent decades dramatically reduced this speech variant, most Eurasian and local Portuguese English speakers had a distinctive, immediately recognisable sound , usually more deprecated than celebrated among themselves.

FEBRUARY 3 We are all in the long-haul stretch of the Covid-19 endless marathon and we see fatigue and hopelessness setting in as repeated movement control orders (MCOs) and tighter restrictions are imposed. We need to be science based with our daily SOPs, rather than resort to harsh measures. Heftier fines, extended MCOs, increased public blaming are counterproductive and also harmful to the poor and those that have lost their livelihood. We have to walk this fine balance between harm from Covid-19 and destroying lives from tight SOPs that limit employment.
