Adam Adli jumpa Rauf bincang kerusi PRN Melaka, kata Fahmi

PKR Melaka has held several discussions with Malaysian Prime Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh as the party prepares for the PRN, according to Fahmi Fadzil, the party's press secretary. Fahmi stated that the party is currently in the process of identifying candidates and seats, in addition to holding consultations with all parties, including those from the Barisan Nasional (BN).

Rauf has expressed openness to discussing with any party. PKR Melaka's Adam Adli confirmed that he has held a few talks (with Rauf) when asked to comment on the party's preparations for the PRN in Melaka. Meanwhile, BN Secretary-General Zahid Hamidi said his faction is still open to discussions on seat distribution for the PRN in Melaka, including seat swaps, as long as they are done honestly and sincerely without diminishing the number of seats each party receives.

Zahid emphasized that the principle of discussion is that the winning seat for any party should be respected and not handed over to political allies. Fahmi welcomed the BN's openness to discussing this matter, noting that the talks are not just about Melaka but also the seats at the federal level. Further discussions will be handed over to Vice President Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, who is currently acting as the acting president, and Election Commissioner Amirudin Shari.

Kumamoto Earthquake, children have nowhere to go - Refugees huddle in evacuation centers, parents at their wit's end It has been over a month since the Kumamoto earthquake occurred. In the evacuation centers, there are not enough spaces for children. As a result, some of them are playing games in the corners of the evacuation centers. Their parents are worried about their children's circumstances. Kumamoto City has opened 66 evacuation centers. The total number of people taking shelter there is about 49,000. About 30% of them are children. However, there are not enough spaces for the children to play. At an evacuation center in Minami-ku, Kumamoto City, there are about 330 people, including about 70 children. The only space for the children to play is a small corner on the first floor. About 10 children are playing games such as "Monster Hunter" on a portable game console there. A mother in her 30s said, "I have no idea how to keep my child entertained." She added, "My child has been playing games all day. I do not know what to do." Another mother in her 40s said, "My child has been watching TV and playing games all day. I am worried that he is not getting enough exercise." The mother said that her child had been going to kindergarten. She added, "My child used to go to kindergarten. I wish we could go back to normal life as soon as possible." The city is trying to solve the problem. It has set up a temporary nursery in a kindergarten in Minami-ku. The nursery started on April 25 and will end on May 31. The city plans to open more temporary nurseries in the future. However, it is not clear if it will be able to solve the problem.
