Why was South Korea being too slow in  containing MERS? SEOUL: South Korean health officials on Sunday reported 14 more cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, bringing the total in the country's outbreak to 64, and said a fifth person infected with the virus had died. South Korea's outbreak of the often-deadly MERS virus, first reported on May 20, is the largest outside the Middle East, prompting public fear and questions over the government's initial response. The patient who died was a 75-year-old man who had been in the same Seoul hospital emergency room where a total of 17 people, including two medical staff, are believed to have been infected with MERS, South Korea's health ministry said. Of the 14 new cases, 10 were at the same Seoul hospital. All of the confirmed South Korean infections have taken place in healthcare facilities, officials have said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Termination letters from Malaysia's loss-making national carrier Malaysia Airlines (MAS) are expected to begin arriving at the homes of around 20,000 staff from Monday (Jun 1) onwards. As part of its restructure, MAS is letting go all of its staff - but two-thirds are expected to receive offer letters to the airline's new incarnation, set to begin operations in September. Sources tell Channel NewsAsia that some staff have already received their termination and offer letters, but not all have been offered the same position that they held previously in the company. This overhaul of MAS comes as new CEO Christoph Mueller attempts to bring the airline back to profitability within three years. The company has suffered continuous losses since 2008 despite restructuring plans and billions of dollars...

So sad to hear this.  ALOR SETAR:   "There was only one thing on my mind - death. I wanted to die because dying would be easier than living," said a Rohingya migrant who managed to escape from the transit camp in Wang Kelian. Speaking exclusively to Bernama on Thursday, Nurul Amin Nobi Hussein, 25, said during the two months he was held at the transit camp in Wang Kelian last year, he lost all hope of surviving and only thought of death. "I was locked up in a cage like the goats and chickens, and all the time, I was surrounded by death. Each day, five or six of us would die, either from illness or were beaten up and shot," he said. He added that the Rohingya migrants were crammed into what could be described as small coops which housed between 200 and 300 people, with the men and women kept in separate cages. He said about five to six guards who spoke Thai would patrol round the clock, armed with sticks, knives, pistols and rifles, watching the estimated 1,500 peopl...
