AN allocation of RM10,000 as a gesture of condolence was awarded to the families of the two victims, who were crushed to death after strong winds toppled a clump of ornamental bamboo and fig trees onto their car at the Pinang Peranakan Mansion in Church Street, Penang.
LONDON: British lawmaker Rosie Duffield has quit the ruling Labour Party on Saturday in protest at Prime Minister Keir Starmer's approach to child poverty and his acceptance of tens of thousands of pounds of free clothing and hospitality from political donors.
Starmer, who was Britain's top prosecutor before entering parliament, said on Sept 20 he would stop accepting donations to pay for clothing for him and his wife. Starmer led the Labour Party to a sweeping victory in a July 4 election, but opinion polls suggest his personal popularity has fallen sharply with voters since he entered office.
