Cattle, buffaloes vaccinated to contain spread of haemorrhagic septicaemia
Its director, Dr Anun Man, said the vaccination covered livestock within a five-kilometre radius from the outbreak site, first detected on April 7.
"Control measures and quarantine began on April 24 after the outbreak was confirmed, with 25% of the livestock vaccinated in two days.
"We are concerned that if uncontrolled, the outbreak could affect Hari Raya Aidiladha sacrificial rites, as livestock movement requires health permits. The high demand for sacrificial animals also raises the risk of illegal imports,' she said when inspecting the vaccination process at Kampung Manir here today.
Dr Anun said that free-range farming of buffaloes in Terengganu posed a challenge, as JPV needs to provide pens for quarantine and vaccination.
"We urge farmers to bring free-range livestock into pens and contact us for vaccination.
"Buffaloes, especially in extreme weather conditions, are at higher risk of HS,' she said, adding that the Terengganu JPV administered 11,731 HS vaccinations last year.

#SHOWBIZ: Wani Kayrie: I suffered a severe headache, blurred vision and vomiting
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer and actress Wani Kayrie, 25, was forced to celebrate Hari Raya Aidiladha modestly at home this year after being admitted to hospital for a severe headache that required treatment and medical monitoring. Wani, whose real name is Syazwani Abdullah, was taken to the Emergency Department of a medical centre in Petaling Jaya at around 2am on Wednesday, after experiencing symptoms of blurred vision and sudden vomiting. "I was in the emergency zone from 2am to 6am before being transferred to the ward," she told Harian Metro. "After the MRI results came back clear, I was admitted to the ward on Thursday morning." Wani was allowed to leave the ward late on Friday evening after requesting early discharge from her doctor, so she could celebrate Hari Raya Korban with her family. "Even though I was allowed to return home, I still couldn't celebrate Raya as usual," she explained. "My health isn't stable yet, so I just rested at home, celebrating Raya in moderation." According to Wani, doctors confirmed she was suffering from a 'tension headache' – a type of headache caused by stress, lack of rest, and extreme fatigue, following a very busy work period. "To be honest, my schedule has been non-stop since Hari Raya Aidilfitri," she said. "It's been constant promotions for my song 'Nyam Nyam Ketupat', stage performances, drama filming, the musical theatre 'Kehidupan', and promoting my new song 'Cak Cak Cekuk'." Wani admitted that the extreme fatigue meant she could no longer control her own body, leading to a debilitating headache that wouldn't subside even with rest at home. "Normally, if I had a headache, I'd just sleep it off at home," she said. "But this time, the pain was incredible. My head felt like it was going to burst; I couldn't even sleep. It kept coming back repeatedly. That's why the doctor performed an MRI to rule out anything serious. Thank God, everything is fine, it was just low blood pressure." Wani further explained that her symptoms began after she played badminton last Wednesday night. "I had just finished playing badminton. While packing my equipment, my vision suddenly became blurry; I saw stars," she said. "When I tried to walk, my body felt weak. I attempted to drive but felt like vomiting and had to stop. At that point, a headache started coming and going." Wani then sought help from her friend and fellow singer, Afieq Shazwan, who was at the same location, to take her to the hospital. "Afieq immediately called my brother to get a car," she said. "We went to the hospital together that night. That's when the long treatment episode began." Despite being saddened by not being able to celebrate Aidiladha like in previous years, Wani is content. She views this experience as a chance given by God to rest and spend quality time with her family. "Every year, if I don't go back to my hometown, I'll take my family on holiday for Raya," she said. "But this year, perhaps God wants to give me the space to stop for a while, rest, and appreciate time with my family.

Hourly update on water levels at UMS' tank
Published on: Wednesday, June 04, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jun 04, 2025 Text Size: Shahelmey explained that discrepancies in reports arose when student leaders accused the department of making false claims. Kota Kinabalu: The State Water Department will now provide an hourly update on water levels at the Universiti Malaysia Sabah's R13 tank, said Deputy Chief Minister III Datuk Shahelmey Yahya. He said the move aims to help UMS manage its pumping schedule more effectively and ensure better water distribution on campus. 'A new water level indicator has been ordered and should be installed within one or two weeks. I will revisit UMS once that is completed to ensure smooth coordination between both parties,' he told reporters after distributing fresh beef from 30 cows to the needy in Putatan, in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidiladha, Tuesday. He was responding to UMS Vice-Chancellor Datuk Dr Kasim Mansur's strong criticism of the Water Department's May 29 statement, which claimed the university had always received sufficient water and that internal technical issues were to blame for any disruptions. Shahelmey said the department's records showed consistent supply since May 19. However, he explained that from May 14 to 19, one of UMS' pumps was down, possibly affecting water delivery to the campus. 'That issue has since been resolved. This coordination is especially crucial as students are sitting for their exams in June,' the State Works Minister added. Shahelmey explained that discrepancies in reports arose when student leaders accused the department of making false claims. Site inspections two weeks ago revealed that while the department recorded sufficient water levels in the R13 tank, UMS reported otherwise, due to a faulty tank indicator that led to miscommunication. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
