JOHOR BAHRU/SINGAPORE — Motorists from Singapore continued to throng the TCSens Centre at Danga Bay to secure a vehicle entry permit (VEP) on Sept 28 despite assurances that they can still enter Malaysia after Oct 1 without one. Drivers that The Straits Times spoke to were fraught with worry and uncertainty despite clarifications on Sept 27 from Malaysia’s Road Transport Department (JPJ) that they will be allowed into Johor even if they do not yet have VEP tags. However, the agency — responsible for the enforcement of the VEP — said they will be given reminders to register, install and activate their radio frequency identification (RFID) tags upon entering Johor’s two land checkpoints as enforcement is implemented in phases. They can also be given a warning when they leave Malaysia, along with reminders to install the tags as soon as possible. Many motorists, however, were unconvinced about the leeway given to them if they drive to Johor without a VEP.

A family has accused a helper of elder abuse, after capturing footage of the Indonesian maid man-handling her employer's bedridden mum. The employer, surnamed Wang, told Shin Min Daily News that this happened «thrice in one night», with the helper accused of pushing her mother's head down onto the bed, shaking her and forcefully prying open her eyelids. According to Wang, the 26-year-old Indonesian helper named Janna (transliteration) was hired to take care of her elderly mother in her 70s, who'd suffered a stroke. The family were in the living room having dinner last Monday (Sept 23) when they saw through a CCTV camera Janna man-handling the elderly woman. The helper appeared to be rough and impatient while feeding the elderly woman milk in her bedroom, forcefully pushing her head onto the bed, reported Shin Min Daily News. On seeing this, the family rushed into the bedroom to confront Janna. The latter stated that she had reacted this way as the elderly woman refused to drink her milk. The family then left the room after giving the helper a stern warning.

A South African woman celebrated her 118th birthday Friday as one of the oldest people in the world with a small party at her care home. Margaret Maritz was born on September 27, 1906, according to a copy of her identity card shown to journalists by a charity that helped to organise the party in Touws River, 180 kilometres (110 miles) northeast of Cape Town. The document has not been independently verified but if confirmed would make Maritz older than Japanese national Tomiko Itooka who was born on May 23, 1908 and is listed by the US-based Gerontology Research Group as currently the world's oldest living person. Flanked by two of her 14 children, Maritz blew out a candle on a large pink birthday cake at the party in the small town of Touws River. «She talks about her life as a young woman, (saying) you must respect your mother and your father. She didn’t drink, she didn’t smoke,» a senior nurse at the home, Gregory Elroy Adams, told AFP. «We must be grateful,» said one of her daughters, Liza Daniels, 67. «I don’t know if I will reach that age one day. But for me it’s a very, very big privilege to have a mother that reaches this age.» According to the Guinness World Records website, the oldest verified person is French national Jeanne Calment, who died in August 1997 at the age of 122 years and 164 days. «Several people have been claimed to be older than Jeanne, but there has never been enough evidence to authenticate them,» it says. The oldest known South African died in March 2023 just two months before turning 129. Johanna Mazibuko was born on May 11, 1894 according to her identity papers, although these were not confirmed as authentic by authorities. © Agence France-Presse
