Kematian keempat kes H1N1
PUTRAJAYA 29 Julai - Seorang wanita rakyat Malaysia berusia 20 tahun merupakan mangsa keempat yang meninggal dunia akibat Influenza A(H1N1) pagi semalam di Hospital Melaka, kata Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan Tan Sri Ismail Merican di Putrajaya hari ini.
Shan Tao's turn to close
Kota Kinabalu: SJK(C) Shan Tao here was ordered closed for a week effective Tuesday after two of its pupils were tested positive for the influenza A (H1N1) virus.
Shan Tao became the fifth school - and the first primary school in Sabah - to be temporarily shut in the State due to the virus after SM Sains Lahad Datu, SM Sains Kota Kinabalu, SM Kebangsaan Bandaraya and SM Agama Kota Kinabalu.
Deputy Health Minister Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin said health authorities confirmed two pupils had the virus, with 11 pupils from the school down with suspected H1N1 symptoms.
Meanwhile, Shan Tao headmaster Goh Teck Seng said the two H1N1-confirmed pupils, both in Primary Three, had not travelled abroad, pointing out they could have contracted the virus locally.
He also said more than 300 pupils did not turn up to school on Tuesday, after one of the pupils was confirmed with the virus the previous day and news of suspected H1N1 cases were reported in the papers, adding there were more than 1,700 pupils in the school.
Claiming that a Primary Six pupil from the school also tested positive to the virus the same day, he said, the school was closed at about 11am after a discussion between the school administration and health authorities following the pupils developing the flu symptoms.
Health authorities went to the school on Monday, checking and clearing the teaching staff of the virus before screening the pupils.
The school's Parents Teachers Association Chairman, Fung Mou Poon, then organised the pupils in two groups for the health authorities to inspect, to which later they found eight pupils having high fever.
The pupils were isolated at the canteen before their parents came and took them for a check at the hospital. They were later told to go on home quarantine.
A notice by the Health Office was pasted at the entrance, ordering for the temporary closure of the school until Aug. 2.
The pupils were also advised to stay in home quarantine and told to refrain from visiting public places.
If any of them developed symptoms including a body temperature of over 38 degrees Celsius, they should seek immediate medical attention. The school's alumni Chairman, Dr Hiew King Cheu, who is also the MP, also visited the school.

Deputy Health Minister, Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin said they suggested the closure after 17 students developed symptoms of the flu and were admitted to hospital.

But Rosnah said there were no measures taken to close the school yet. She also did not specify the number of suspected H1N1 cases from the school.

Makanan segera pendekkan hayat
KUALA LUMPUR 21 Mac. Pengambilan makanan segera merupakan antara faktor yang boleh memendekkan jangka hayat rakyat Malaysia. Setiausaha Parlimen Kementerian Kesihatan, Datuk Lee Kah Choon berkata, kajian mendapati sebahagian besar daripada makanan tersebut mempunyai lemak, gula dan garam yang berlebihan.
Jika kita tidak berjaga-jaga apabila terus memakan makanan yang tidak sihat, ia akan memendekkan jangka hayat kita, katanya. Beliau menjawab soalan tambahan Datuk Badruddin Amiruldin (BN-Jerai) mengenai kesan pengambilan makanan segera terhadap jangka hayat rakyat negara ini. Menurut Kah Choon, sebab-sebab lain yang memendekkan umur rakyat Malaysia ialah kemalangan jalan raya yang merupakan bilangan kes tertinggi diikuti penyakit dan faktor semula jadi.
Menjawab soalan asal Tan Sri Dr. Ting Chew Peh (BN-Gopeng), Kah Choon berkata, purata jangka hayat kaum Cina adalah paling panjang berbanding kaum lain iaitu 73.6 tahun bagi lelaki dan 78.8 tahun bagi perempuan. Katanya, jangka hayat kaum Bumiputera ialah 70.4 tahun bagi lelaki dan 74.8 tahun (perempuan) manakala kaum India 67.4 tahun (lelaki) dan 75.4 tahun (perempuan).
