MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Alexander Zverev was left bemused after the umpire stopped play in the middle of a rally when a bird's feather floated down on the court during his quarter-final against Tommy Paul at the Australian Open on Tuesday.
PUTRAJAYA: The February launch of the Waktu Bekerja Berlainan system for medical officers will depend on the decision of the Medical Advisory and Action Committee , says Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad .
He added that the MAAC or relevant units would determine whether to proceed with the plan on Feb 1, as mentioned in the circulated letter. “It is not intended to replace existing systems but to serve as an additional option, depending on the resources and readiness of individual hospital departments,” he explained.
However, Dzulkefly expressed disappointment over the premature disclosure of the internal circular, which he said caused misunderstandings and unnecessary concerns among medical staff and the public.

Malaysian Muslim Lawyers Association Defends Sharia Whipping ImplementationThe Malaysian Muslim Lawyers Association (PPMM) has rejected accusations and negative perceptions regarding the implementation of sharia whipping in Terengganu, claiming that it violates human principles and the Federal Constitution. PPMM asserts that these accusations are unfounded and contradict existing legislation and the facts of the implementation. They highlight that sharia whipping in Terengganu is carried out according to the Syariah Criminal Procedure Enactment (Terengganu) 2001, particularly Section 125, which outlines humane execution methods. The association emphasizes that the whipping implements are made of light rattan with moderate strength and do not cause injury to offenders. The whipping area is also limited and does not involve sensitive parts such as the face, head, abdomen, or chest. PPMM further states that the implementation adheres to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Whipping Outside Prison for Syariah Offenders, established in 2023 through Guideline No. 11 of 2023. This SOP specifies that the whipping location must be suitable, as determined by the court, with safety and environmental suitability ensured. Medical examinations are conducted by government medical officers to ensure offenders are in good health before the punishment is carried out. The operation is handled by trained individuals using tools that meet established standards, with methods that do not harm the skin or any part of the offender's body.
