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.

A family in Pasir Ris has drawn both admiration and criticism for turning foam dart gun practice into a unique family bonding activity. Stomp contributor Jailani alerted Stomp to a video circulating on TikTok and Facebook, showing the family's technical training in the lift lobby of their HDB block. While some have raised concerns, others have shown their support. Critics questioned the potential disturbance to the family's neighbours, with one Facebook user commenting: «Wah, the next-door neighbour must be sianz... Every day hear gun shots.» Others deemed the practice 'inconsiderate,' arguing that it takes up too much space in the shared corridor.

Being bullied in school? Here's how to respond

A 12-year-old student was allegedly attacked by another student earlier this month (Jan 7) - his fourth day in the school since starting secondary one. The aggressor had allegedly used a plastic bottle to strike the victim's head, causing a 5cm long cut on the back of his head requiring stiches. In 2021, another secondary student was allegedly ostracised as bullies forced other students to avoid her, according to a now-deleted Facebook post by her mum. The student ultimately took her own life in 2023.  So, what steps can victims take when confronted with bullying? James Chong, clinical director at The Lion Mind counselling service, advised victims to seek help from trusted adults like school counsellors or teachers, and file a police report if necessary. «Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and taking action prevents further empowerment of the bully. It is crucial for victims to remember that they are not at fault for the bullying and that support is available,» he told AsiaOne.

SINGAPORE — From March 31, app stores must block young users below 18 years old from downloading apps not meant for their age group, including dating app Tinder and adult video games like Grand Theft Auto. Under the new Code of Practice for Online Safety for App Distribution Services, app stores targeting users in Singapore must also block children below 12 from downloading apps like Instagram and TikTok, which are rated for ages 12 and above. «We recognise that app distribution services are key gateways to accessing apps on our digital devices and are marketplaces for online content including online games,» said the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) in announcing the launch of the new code on Jan 15. «With more people including children owning mobile devices... there is an increased risk of exposure to harmful content, including age-inappropriate content for children.»
