(關丹18日訊)彭州癮君子日趨年輕化,連年僅14歲的中學生也吸毒!

根據彭亨州反毒機構資料顯示,今年1月至3月,彭亨州的中學生癮君子共37名,以關丹的國中生占大多數超過60%,其次是馬蘭、淡馬魯及百樂等地區,分別為一名華裔、兩名印裔及34名巫裔。至于18歲以上的癮君子(今年1月至4月)共57名。

彭亨州反毒機構(AADK)主任依斯邁接受《中國報》記者訪問時指出,排除家庭背景問題外,學生嗜毒的主要原因,都是因好奇心驅使及受損友影響。

叛逆期尋刺激

他說,加上中學生年齡處在叛逆期,好玩及尋求刺激的心理,往往是導致他們接觸毒品的原因之一。

“這些學生食用的毒品种類,以化學藥丸占多數,價格廉宜,基于學生的零用錢有限,越便宜的毒品越受落,加上學生並不在意毒品种類,一味只求刺激。”

他指出,學生胡亂服用毒品,將帶來嚴重副作用,包括影響健康。

他也說,一旦該機構接獲校方要求或投報后,就會立刻突擊學校為學生進行尿檢,一旦尿檢結果呈陽性,有關學生將被安排接受戒毒培訓。

“戒毒培訓由反毒機構承辦,獲得空軍協助,每次培訓人數最多為50人,培訓期限為3天。成功戒毒的學生約占半數。”


彭亨州反毒機構主任依斯邁:別碰毒品,免一失足成千古恨。
依斯邁勸市民,千萬不能以嘗試作為藉口接觸毒品,以免一失足成千古恨!

“接觸‘一丁點’的毒品也會令人上癮,打亂原本安寧的生活,在任何情況下,都要自我控制,萬萬不能接觸毒品。”

他說,吸毒后將改變原有的生活步驟,欲重新協調有規律的生活是不可能的事。

他也說,据報告顯示,今年1月至4月份的18歲以上癮君子,年紀最長者為50歲,當中以擔任行政管員者占多數。

依斯邁說,並非只有低階層的市民才會吸毒,高收入在必須面對多种壓力下,也會選擇吸毒來減壓。


彭州2009年1月至4月份嗜毒調查
★癮君子總數為57名,其中43名為新吸毒者(75.44%),14名為重复吸毒(24.56%)。

★毒品种類以海洛英占多數,最少數為大麻。

★受友人影響為最主要的吸毒導因,其次為尋求快感、好奇心驅使、精神壓力及止痛。

Michael Jackson's death stuns fans across the world

Friday June 26, 2009

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Across the country, people reacted in stunned disbelief Thursday as word spread that Michael Jackson had collapsed and died. Within minutes of Jackson's arrival by ambulance at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center people began arriving by the hundreds, the crowd quickly filling a grassy entrance outside the hospital. Overhead, news helicopters whirred noisily and TV trucks clogged streets.

As word spread a few minutes later that Jackson had died, several people burst into tears. Others stood silently, looking pensive, as they waited for official word from the hospital. Still others whipped out cell phones and began calling or texting friends to pump them for information.

A similar scene played out just a couple miles away, in front of Jackson's tony Holmby Hills home, where a Fire Department ambulance had arrived to take him to the hospital.
"I'm in shock," said Becky Williams, a 26-year-old Jackson fan from Salt Lake City who happened to be visiting her sister just down the street.

"He's gone. The legend of music," Williams said in disbelief as she stood outside Jackson's home.
In Holmby Hills, cars - many of them with stereo systems blaring songs from Jackson's classic "Thriller" album - began go clog the streets.

As people began to leave their cars to snap pictures, a police officer warned them their cars would be towed if they didn't move.

Among those who drove to the neighborhood was Sue Mossell, who was visiting from Georgia with her two sons, 7-year-old Ryan and 12-year-old Jimmy.
Ryan placed a pink flower in front of Jackson's gate.

"He wanted to put a flower down for him," said Mossell, 46, who said she grew up listening to Jackson's music.

Jackson memorial plans to be revealed

Plans for Michael Jackson's memorial extravaganza were to be revealed here on Friday as the prospect of a legal battle loomed over the tragic pop icon's children.After a week of feverish speculation following the music legend's sudden death on June 25, the singer's family has confirmed that a public service would take place at 10:00am (1700 GMT) on Tuesday at Los Angeles's Staples Center.

The family said 11,000 tickets would be distributed for free to fans who wanted to mourn Jackson at the 20,000-seat arena in a poignant farewell expected to bring America to a standstill.No details on where Jackson would be buried have been released but organizers said they would announce more plans for the event at a press conference on Friday at 10:00am.The Jacksons earlier quashed the idea of a public viewing and private service at the singer's Neverland Ranch, which posed logistical headaches due to its remote location in ritzy Santa Barbara wine country.

However, Jackson's elder brother Jermaine said he would still like the pop legend to be buried at Neverland, a tribute to Jackson's fascination with childhood that in its heyday had giraffes, tigers and a private amusement park."I feel his presence because this is his creation," Jermaine Jackson told CNN in an interview Thursday. "I really feel this is where he should be rested because it's him," he said. "It's serene."As the funeral took shape, legal battle lines were drawn over the King of Pop's legacy and the fate of his offspring, with ex-wife Debbie Rowe declaring she planned to seek custody of the star's eldest two children.

A court hearing is scheduled next Monday to determine who will administer Jackson's estate, and another hearing is set for July 13 to discuss the guardianship of the singer's three children.Rowe, who has remained largely silent since Jackson died from an apparent cardiac arrest on June 25 aged 50, told NBC television in Los Angeles that she would seek custody of Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11."I want my children," Rowe was quoted as saying in a 90-minute phone interview with the station. "I am stepping up.

I have to."Rowe, who was married to Jackson between 1996 and 1999, was omitted from a 2002 will filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday in which Jackson named his 79-year-old mother Katherine Jackson as guardian.Jackson's mother was on Monday appointed temporary guardian of the two children and their seven-year-old sibling, Prince Michael II or "Blanket," who was born to an unidentified surrogate mother.

Rowe filed a petition in 2001 to give up her parental rights but later reversed her decision and secured visitation rights.Rowe's lawyer Eric George later told reporters in a conference call Thursday no final decision had been made.Legal experts say that Rowe's chances of winning custody could hinge on her relationship with the children. Several reports say she has not had any contact with the children for years.

Rowe's comments came as new footage of Jackson taken two days before his death emerged, showing him rehearsing a vigorous routine which appeared to refute suggestions the star was in ill health during his final days.Concert promoters AEG Live said the footage was recorded on June 23 at the Staples Center as Jackson prepared for a 50-date set in London starting in July.

Jackson, while thin, is seen dancing with energy in a tightly choreographed sequence with a group of performers. Jackson sings on a headset and at one point pushes back his jacket to reveal his red shirt underneath.A final cause of death for Jackson has not yet been determined but attention has focused on whether he was taking powerful painkillers.

功課做不好“我被保母鞭半年”(

新山3日訊)8歲童因功課做不好,被保母夫婦虐打半年,還被教唆是因他“壞蛋”才挨鞭!
男童家長發現兒子臉部紅腫、耳朵瘀青,身體多處有被鞭打的傷痕后,才驚覺孩子在半年內不斷遭保母夫婦毒打,身心飽受創傷。

不排除法律途徑討公道 男童透露,當保母指責他功課做得不好時,就會用1尺長、5仙般粗的藤鞭,抽打其手背骨節或身體。

最近一次,更打傷其左臉頰、耳朵和頭部,以致臉上留痕,耳朵瘀青,頭部有鞭痕。
男童說,保母的丈夫逼他向父母和姑姑承認,是自己“壞蛋”才遭鞭打,由于他不從,事后就遭保母丈夫刮臉,造成臉部紅腫。

男童家長獲悉兒子被虐打后,去質問保母時,后者竟說是其子自己用指甲刮傷臉及跌倒,才會臉部紅腫,企圖推卸責任。

男童母親已報警,並不排除過法律途徑討回公道。

被指遭毒打的吳姓男童大衛(洋名,8歲)就讀某華小二年級,一年前與7歲弟弟交由保母凱倫(34歲,住實地英達花園)照顧。

大衛的母親張桂嬋(38歲,新加坡工廠女工)和姑姑吳寶玉(31歲,家庭主婦),今早通過馬華新山區會公共服務與投訴局副主任陳金福、區團副團長陳圖溪召開記者會,敘述兒子被保母虐打的經過。

兩人談及男童被毒打的情況時都忍不住落淚,男童則一臉茫然。
吳寶玉說,本月1日下午2時許,其姐姐(男童的另一名姑姑)接獲校方來電,告知侄兒身上有嚴重傷痕,懷疑遭人虐待。她隨后和從新加坡趕回新山的張桂嬋,到校接走大衛,立即前往診所和醫院驗傷。

張桂嬋說,當時她第一時間質問保母,保但母否認毒打孩子,直至兒子親口說出,始知事態嚴重。

知會家長會嚴格管教保母坦承下手太重
被指責虐童的保母出面坦承,在管教孩子上過于嚴格,才會出手太重。
保母凱倫承認確實有鞭打孩子,但在之前已告知對方家長,表明會在管教上相當嚴格,而家長也知道,並允許以體罰方式管教孩子。

面對指責的保母,較后在丈夫陪同下,也透過陳金福召開記者會解釋。
保母丈夫也承認,曾經打了大衛一巴,但他強調只打了一巴,原因是發現大衛向同學借錢,在質問孩童時,一氣之下才會下手過重。

“翌日早上我仍發現男童臉上浮現手指印,即覺得當時出手太重,便吩咐太太帶男童去看醫生。”
保母也否認每天在孩童做功課時鞭打他,也否認早上只給孩子吃4塊餅乾,晚上吃印度煎餅之說。

她指出,平時家人吃什么孩子就跟著吃什么,一般上都會在家自己煮,偶爾會外賣。
至于頭部及耳朵的鞭傷,她說,在課業上男童每次都說“知道了”但不去做,才會施以體罰。
她聲稱,當時只是要打手,但不知故孩童突然用手護頭時卻不小心打到耳朵和頭部,她也承認處罰太重,但否認造成孩童臉上的傷痕。

“我知道是我下手太重,我已向大衛道歉。”

陳金福指出,案件已交由警方處理,他也建議保母找當事人當面溝通。

免留下陰影校方輔導2男童
校方機智處理男童被打一事,並將給兩名遭毒打的男童心理輔導。
男童姑姑吳寶玉指出,校方發現其侄兒大衛有可疑傷痕時,不曉得經手是父母抑或保母,為安全起見,向男童詢問其他家屬的電話后,決定致電給其姐姐(男童另一位姑姑)。
至于校長受詢時說,最初發現大衛傷痕的其級任教師,他覺得事態嚴重,所以通知男童家屬徹查。

他說,校方會將給予援助,包括會安排時間為大衛和其弟弟輔導,以免兩人留下陰影。
另一方面,姑姑吳寶玉說,她帶外甥前往診所驗傷時,診所醫生揭露保母也曾于5月,帶大衛到同一間診所治療,惟當時保母向醫生謊稱,大衛是自己跌傷。

她說,昨日遇見校車司機,校車司機也說早前見大衛臉部紅腫。

她得知,大衛不敢把被保母打傷的事告訴父母,便向保母了解情況,保母還指大衛講騙話,臉上的傷是大衛自己跌傷造成。
早晚餐皆啃餅母痛心兒沒飯吃
早餐4片餅乾,晚餐印度煎餅,母親痛心兒子吃不飽。
母親張桂嬋從孩子口中了解,每天早上吃4片餅乾,就沖涼上學,放學后,晚餐多數是吃印度煎餅、麵包,令她深感納悶,她也曾就此勸保母多煮飯讓孩子吃。

男童大衛說,保母很少自己煮晚餐,多數外賣。

同時,張桂嬋說,她除了每月付1500令吉保母費,另外會準備逾百令吉的零用錢,甚至沐浴露、爽身粉和潤膚液都是自己購買,但她發現保母都沒讓孩子使用這些用品。
她說,目前孩子只能交由其小姑照顧。
對此,陳金福促請父母,如把孩子托給他人看顧,工作再忙都應該每天了解孩子的情況,而且一定要了解托管人的背景。
疑害怕躲房內保母避見男童母親
男童母親和姑姑上門興師問罪,保母疑害怕躲在房裡不敢出來。
母親張桂嬋說,為兒子驗傷和報警后,已折騰至深夜;不過,她和小姑吳寶玉于凌晨1時許(2日),仍前往保母家將還在保母家的另一幼兒帶回家。
她說,當時前往對方的雙層排屋收拾孩子的衣服,也希望保母解釋清楚來龍去脈,怎知保母一直躲在樓上,她三度上樓也無法讓對方現身。
她指出,在僵持約一小時后,保母丈夫才將妻子拉出房間,當時,保母也向男童道歉。
張桂嬋說,她在新加坡工作,丈夫在吉隆坡從事銷售業,週五晚才接兩名孩子返百萬鎮住家,星期日晚上再送回保母家。
她說,她于1年前通過托兒所介紹認識保母,她對保母的背景不甚了解。

她坦言,半年前已開始發現兒子身上常有鞭痕,並勸過保母,如果孩子不聽話可鞭打教訓,但出手不要太重,未料保母竟變本加厲。

字體寫美美也挨打大衛:討厭她
男童聲稱,已照保母要求把字體寫得端正,可是最后仍遭保母嫌棄,甚至挨打。
大衛坦言,由于整天遭保母鞭打,不但討厭保母也害怕再見到對方,更不想繼續住保母家。

他說,保母脾氣不好,每天都罵人、生氣,就連保母的其親生兒女也難逃被毒打的命運。
談及被打過程,大衛說:“她(保母)講要(把功課)寫美美,我不是寫美美囉,可是她又叫我擦掉寫過,然后再打我的手!”。

他說,保母最常用藤鞭打其手背骨節處,有時也會打屁股,他多次叫保母不要打,但保母仍會持續狂鞭。

大衛說,保母和其丈夫打了他之后,都會叫他不要告訴父母。
他也指出,保母育有2男2女,年齡介于3歲至13歲,加上另外看顧嬰孩和其兩兄弟,所以一人兼顧7名孩子。

姑姑吳寶玉說,保母也不讓外甥的書包放在屋內,只可放在車房,她擔心惹怒保母以致外甥受苦,所以從來不敢過問原因。-China Press 030709
