Pakistan to continue import of LNG from Qatar

A Pakistani cabinet minister says Islamabad will continue to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar under a 15-year agreement, despite the severing of diplomatic ties with Qatar by Saudi Arabia and some other countries.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, the federal minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources, said Qatar and Pakistan last year signed a $1 billion agreement, under which Qatar's Liquefied Gas Company Limited will sell LNG from 2016 to year 2031 to state-run Pakistan State Oil.

He said since no sanctions have been imposed on Qatar by the United Nations, Pakistan and Qatar were bound to abide by the agreement.

Qatar has released an initial report into the alleged hack of its state-run news agency, an incident which helped spark a diplomatic crisis between the energy-rich country and Arab nations.

The Qatari Interior Ministry said late Wednesday that the website of the Qatar News Agency was initially hacked in April with "high techniques and innovative methods."

It said hackers installed a file and then published a fake news item attributed to Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, just after midnight May 24.

The ministry did not say who it suspected carried out the attack. It also thanked the FBI and the British National Commission for Combating Crime for assisting it in its investigation.

The alleged fake news item, which had Sheikh Tamim making controversial comments on Iran and Israel, immediately was picked up by Saudi and Emirati media, laying the groundwork for the crisis that began Monday (05.06.2017.)

Kuwait's emir has traveled to Qatar and met that country's leader as part of his efforts to mediate an end to a crisis that's seen Arab nations cut ties to the energy-rich country and attempt to isolate it.

Kuwait's Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah was met planeside by Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, when he arrived on Wednesday night.

The two held talks, though details of their discussions were not released. Sheikh Sabah earlier Wednesday traveled to Dubai where he met with Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who also serves as prime minister and vice president of the UAE.

Sheikh Sabah also has traveled to Saudi Arabia in his efforts.

Saving on rent? Malaysians working in Singapore caught rough sleeping on JB streets

Some Malaysians working in Singapore have been sleeping on the streets of Johor Bahru (JB), purportedly to save time and money, reported Malaysian media. A late-night inspection along the street of Jalan Wong Ah Fook in the wee hours of Tuesday (March 26) morning saw about 20 individuals picked up for further investigation, said Johor Health and Environment Committee chairman Ling Tian Soon in a Facebook post. One rough sleeper, who identified himself as a Malaysian and is working in Singapore, was found resting on a row of seats at the nearby Larkin Sentral bus terminal, reported China Press. The man reportedly chose to sleep at the bus terminal to minimise the time needed to travel from his home in Kota Tinggi to the Johor checkpoint.

'Give it a smell yourself': Woodlands resident fed up with neighbour's stinky clutter at common corridor

A resident has raised a stink over his neighbour's smelly and unsightly clutter along the corridor of Block 886A Woodlands Drive 50. A Stomp contributor said the issue has been going on since the start of the year and persisted even after repeated feedback to the town council. Photos he shared show numerous potted plants, various furniture and a bicycle on the 13th-floor corridor. He has also seen mosquito larvae on the plants. The Stomp contributor said: «I have been sending feedback about my neighbour, who has been watering his plants with some stinking water. It's very smelly and look how messy it is. »It was even worse when we first moved in, with items piled up all the way to the central rubbish chute. I wrote to the town council and they got him to keep it clean. «But now, he has started watering his plants using what sorts of concoctions and it literally stinks a lot. You can come now and give it a smell yourself. »I've been putting up OneService requests since the start of the year. Feedback after feedback and it looks like no action was taken by the town council.
