Subject: Urgent - Poor Guest Experience - Dato' Paduka Ahmad Faizal - Rooms 1105, 2017, 1112 - June 10-12, 2025 Dear General Manager, I am Dato' Paduka Ahmad Faizal, currently staying at Dusit Princess Malacca in rooms 1105, 2017, and 1112 since June 10th, 2025. My booking was made via booking.com for June 10th to 12th, 2025. Despite choosing your hotel based on its Thai association due to my wife's heritage, our experience has been severely unsatisfactory and disruptive to my business trip. Upon arrival around 4 am on June 10th, an early check-in was levied at an exorbitant full-day rate, which was unacceptable given my exhaustion after intercity travel. I reluctantly paid and was assigned room 1105. Later that day, after being moved to room 2017, the HDMI port was non-functional, crucial for my work. Despite my prior experience with a working HDMI in room 1105, the duty manager offered unbelievable excuses and failed to resolve the issue promptly, causing me to miss a vital international Zoom meeting at 3 am. I was forced to personally inspect rooms until 4 am to find a suitable one (1112). Further issues arose at 5 am when the water heater in room 1112 failed, resulting in a cold shower after a long day. On June 11th, the cascade of problems continued. I missed breakfast and my medication due to extreme fatigue. A delayed Grabfood order was then compounded by a l hour and 15-minute wait for plates and cutlery, despite requesting them upon delivery. Adding to this appalling series of events, at approximately 8 am on June 10th, a staff member intruded into my room while my wife and I were engaged in sexual intercourse. This egregious breach of privacy is deeply disturbing and has caused significant mental distress. These unacceptable incidents - from the excessive early check-in cost and room changes, to the missed meeting, lack of basic amenities, delayed service, and the shocking invasion of privacy - have severely impacted my work, health, and mental well-being. This level of service is inexcusable, and as an elderly guest, I am now apprehensive about my remaining night. I expect a prompt and comprehensive response addressing these serious failures and outlining appropriate compensation for the significant disruption and distress caused during my stay. Date of stay: June 2025 Trip type: Travelled as a couple5 points

Thousands of patients will benefit from a new cancer jab for more than a dozen types of the disease, with the NHS the first in Europe to offer the new injection. The health service is rolling out an injectable form of immunotherapy, nivolumab, which means patients can receive their fortnightly or monthly treatment in 5 minutes instead of up to an hour via an IV drip. The roll-out will save over a year’s worth of treatment time for patients and NHS teams annually – enabling patients to spend less time in hospital while freeing up staff capacity to deliver more appointments and treatments. The new jab can be used to treat 15 cancer types, including skin cancer, bladder, and oesophagus, and it is estimated around 1,200 patients in England per month could benefit. This follows approval from the UK’s medicines regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) today. In clinical trials, patients were highly satisfied with the under-the-skin injection, which takes 3-5 minutes to administer, and preferred it to the IV form of the drug which takes 30 to 60 minutes every 2 weeks or four weeks, depending on the cancer type. Around 2 in 5 patients who currently receive IV nivolumab, which is one of the most widely used cancer treatments, should be eligible for the new jab. NHS staff administering the jab could save around 1,000 hours of treatment time for patients and clinicians every month – the equivalent of more than 1 full year of time annually. Most eligible new patients are also expected to begin on the injectable form of nivolumab. NHS cancer services will now be preparing to treat the first patients with the new treatment next month when supplies of the product are received in the UK, helping to free up valuable resources in nursing and pharmacy teams, as well as helping with capacity demands in cancer day units, where the drug is currently administered. This is the latest in a series of NHS cancer treatment innovations introduced to save patients time and improve access, including the rollout of new injections for breast cancer, multiple sclerosis, and blood disorders. Professor Peter Johnson, NHS England National Clinical Director for Cancer said: “Immunotherapy has already been a huge step forward for many NHS patients with cancer, and being able to offer it as an injection in minutes means we can make the process far more convenient. “This treatment is used for 15 different types of the disease, so it will free up thousands of valuable clinicians’ time every year, allowing teams to treat even more patients and helping hospital capacity. “And this is just the latest development in the NHS’s ongoing commitment to provide patients with the latest cancer therapies and treatment options that truly transform lives”. Minister for Public Health and Prevention Ashley Dalton said: “Britain is a hotbed of innovation, masterminding the newest tech and medical inventions to help people navigating illness. A new jab that fastens up cancer treatment is a prime example of this, so it’s fantastic to see cancer patients in England will be among the first in Europe to benefit. “With cancer medicines getting better all the time, this government will ensure that NHS patients are among the first to access the latest treatments and technology. “Our National Cancer Plan will transform the way we approach this disease, improving care and bringing this country’s cancer survival rates back up to the standards of the best in the world”. The faster treatment comes at no extra cost to the NHS thanks to an agreement negotiated by NHS England with the manufacturer Bristol Myers Squibb. James Richardson, Clinical Pharmacist and National Specialty Adviser for Cancer Drugs said: “I am delighted that NHS patients across England will soon be able to benefit from this quicker-to-administer, effective treatment, that can be used to treat a range of cancer types, including skin cancer and solid tumours originating in the kidneys. This is a significant advancement in cancer treatment, with the potential to improve the lives of thousands of patients each month”. Elizabeth O’Mahony, NHS England Chief Financial Officer said: “This is fantastic news for patients – reducing treatment times from an hour to just minutes is a huge boost for people going through cancer care, helping them to spend less time in hospital. “It’s also a major win for the NHS, saving the equivalent of a year’s worth of treatment time which can be used to deliver other care, building on the great strides made in the past 6 months, and thanks to a deal struck by NHS England this quick treatment will be available without any additional cost”. The rollout forms part of NHS England’s 3-pillar approach to delivering the best value from medicines – combining cutting-edge innovations such as a potential cure for sickle cell and life-changing cystic fibrosis drugs; smarter use of biosimilars and generics delivering hundreds of millions in annual savings; and new treatments like this that free up clinical capacity and improve patient experience.3 points

PETALING JAYA: The number of live births in the country has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded, says the Statistics Department (DOSM). In its quarterly population report released today (May 14), DOSM said that the number of live births recorded a decrease of 11.5% to 93,500 births as compared to 105,613 births in the first quarter 2024. “Live births decreased 11.5 percent to 93,500, lowest ever recorded,” the department said in its Demographic Statistics Malaysia First Quarter 2025 report. The decline in births reflects falling fertility rates in the country. According to the DOSM report, male babies outnumbered female babies with 48,124 births as compared to 45,376 births. The sex ratio of live births was 106 males to every 100 females. Selangor had the highest live births at 18,254 (19.5%), while Labuan recorded the lowest at 278 (0.3%). The majority of mothers who gave birth in the first quarter of this year were in the 30-39 years age group, representing 49,816 (53.3%) of births recorded. The second biggest group of mothers were aged 20-29 years (39.3%), followed by 40 years and over (6.0%) and less than 20 years (1.4%). Three births were recorded to mothers aged 55 years and above. In terms of ethnicity, Malays accounted for 68.8% (64,326 live births) of the total live births. Live births for Other Bumiputra increased to 12.6% as compared to 12.3% in the first quarter 2024. Other Bumiputra consists of Bumiputra Sabah, Bumiputera Sarawak and other Bumiputra in Peninsular Malaysia. The live birth rates for Chinese and Indians decreased to 8.6% and 3.8% as compared to 9.6% and 4.2% in the first quarter of 2024, respectively. https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2025/05/14/interactive-malaysia-records-fewest-births-ever#goog_rewarded1 point

Some residents claimed to have seen the mother and daughter riding the same vehicle, and that the PMAs had been parked outside the unit for several years. There have been many reports of electric scooters catching fire while charging, and they have so many of them, so of course we are worried," the neighbour explained. Others said the family occasionally uses extension cords from their home to charge their mobility devices in the corridor, generating worry among neighbours. the Ang Mo Kio Town Council said it had not received any complaints against the resident so far. you all NATO so deal with it1 point

Michael Connell, 53, had jumped into the water to carry out repairs on his moored boat in Sentosa Cove when he was suddenly stung by a box jellyfish. According to Connell, it felt like being "bitten by a shark". Twelve hours later, he began experiencing stabbing pains all over his body, which rapidly progressed to a pain so intense he had to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Doctors believe that the man may have been stung by an Irukandji jellyfish, which is the common name used to refer to several rare and extremely venomous species of box jellyfish more commonly found in northern Australia. Very intense, sharp pain near his upper leg Connell shared with Mothership that the incident occurred at around 3pm on Jun. 15. He had gone into the canal behind his Sentosa Cove condominium to perform repairs on his boat—checking the propellers and rudders and doing some general cleaning—when he suddenly felt a very intense, sharp, and isolated pain near his upper leg. Connell jumped out of the water, where he found no blood nor puncture wound on his leg, but a lot of redness. Though he did not see the jellyfish, he knew he was stung, as he had been stung before by jellyfish and bluebottles in the past while growing up in Australia. His wife, who is a nurse, immediately gave him some pain relief, antihistamine pills, and prednisone gel. As his injury appeared to have subsided from the remedies, Connell assumed he was fine, and he went with his wife to a friend's house for a barbecue that night. It got worse However, things took a turn for the worse in the early hours of the next morning, when Connell began experiencing stabbing pains all over his body roughly 12 hours after his initial sting. Six hours later, the pain only intensified to a point where his leg was burning and cramping. "It is an experience I will never forget," he recalled. After rushing to the hospital, Connell ended up being admitted to the ICU after the pain continued to intensify. At one point, he was at risk of cardiac arrest. "I like to think that I have a pretty high tolerance to pain, but they ended up calling in an anaesthetist to sedate me, as even the high doses of IV morphine they were administering to me didn’t touch the sides," he said.

Saying that he feels okay now and is resting at home, Connell noted that he still feels the occasional pinprick. "I feel like all of my energy has been drained from me," he admitted. Connell said he had a similar experience around 30 years ago, when he was stung in Australia by a variant of the box jellyfish. Similarly, the sting was an instant pain similar to being bitten by a shark. The jellyfish back then had long tentacles, and he still has the scars today from that incident. He said that while he had seen the jellyfish during the previous incident, he did not see it this time. "I am not surprised, as they are the size of a small finger," he remarked, adding that he was "really unlucky" to have this happen twice to him. Only swim in moving waters from now on Connell said the experience would not deter him from swimming in Singapore, but he would only do so now in moving waters, as a jellyfish is unlikely to be in a place with a current. "The issue with the canal is that it is still water," he said. "I will not be going in there again unless I wear a full wetsuit." When asked if he believed there were enough warnings or safeguards in the area, Connell admitted he isn't sure if they would really help, as though there are signs, he does not know if they would be read or adhered to. "I think what needs to be raised is how to seek treatment if you are stung. Do not mess around, go straight to A&E," he warned. Previous sightings of box jellyfish at Siloso Beach There were previous sightings of box jellyfish at Siloso Beach in 2020. Back then, no swimming was allowed at Siloso Beach after a venomous box jellyfish was sighted in the waters. Earlier that year, a jellyfish was sighted in the waters around Sentosa Cove, and a child was stung by a box jellyfish in the area nearby just two weeks later. In January this year, a girl was conveyed to the hospital after she was stung by a jellyfish at Changi Beach. Box jellyfish Box jellyfish are highly venomous due to their deadly toxin, which helps them to instantly kill or stun their prey, thus reducing damage to their tentacles, according to National Geographic. A sting from the box jellyfish is extremely painful and can cause severe hypertension, extreme lower back pain, nausea, and cardiac and respiratory arrest. It can also be fatal. What should you do if you are stung by a jellyfish? According to the National Parks Board (NParks), those stung by a jellyfish should get onshore promptly and seek immediate medical attention by calling 995. They are advised not to rub the wound or attempt to remove the tentacles with their hands, as these actions can cause the stinging cells to release more venom into their bodies. Instead, they should flush the sting area with seawater for at least 30 seconds and remove the tentacles using a towel or tweezers.1 point
