WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday proposed to fine Chinese-based video doorbell manufacturer Eken nearly $735,000 for providing false information and after security concerns were raised.

More to bear: The MCA vice-president said the extended hours could severely jeopardise the well-being of nurses.

The MCA vice-president and Tanjung Piai MP said these extended hours could dramatically worsen the chronic issue of overworked nurses, severely jeopardising their well-being and efficiency.“Nurses confront patients and their families, who are often in distress, on a daily basis, subjecting them to immense mental stress that far surpasses that of typical job roles.

“Now, with an unjustifiable addition of three more hours each week, this situation is like adding insult to injury,” he said here yesterday.Wee said this adjustment disregarded the year-round demands of shift work and neglected nurses’ physical and mental health during night shifts.“Night emergencies often deprive nurses of adequate rest, and the limited recovery time during the day is insufficient to counteract sleep deprivation.

Wee urged the government to seriously consider the pressures nurses face, especially with the persistent resource constraints in government hospitals that have forced nurses to endure high-intensity environments for years.
