Pioneering autism centre reopens in Sabah
Her Royal Highness YAM Paduka Puteri Tunku Mariamz Al-Marhum Sultan Iskandar officiating the newly renovated Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Training Centre at Seri Mengasih, recently. KOTA KINABALU: Sabah has made a leap in inclusive education and disability support with the launch of the newly-renovated Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Training Centre at Seri Mengasih here. It is the only facility in Malaysia authorised to practise the renowned Kololo Method of educational training from Japan that emphasises group dynamics and structured learning for individuals with autism. The refurbished centre in Tanjung Aru was launched by Yang Amat Mulia Paduka Puteri Tunku Mariamz Sultan Iskandar on Monday (June 16). Her Royal Highness' presence underscored the national significance of the initiative and brought renewed attention to the need for comprehensive support for individuals with autism. Seri Mengasih, which has served the special needs community for 44 years, is the sole centre in the country recognised by Kololo Japan to implement its structured ASD training method. The Kololo Method is a unique form of early intervention, therapy, and vocational skills development for individuals on the autism spectrum. Her Royal Highness YAM Paduka Puteri Tunku Mariamz Al-Marhum Sultan Iskandar posed in a group photo with Seri Mengasih's Board of Trustees chairman, Datuk Suzannah Liaw (second left), Committee of Management chairman Tulip Noorazyze (second right), and others. 'This new centre is more than just a building," Seri Mengasih board of trustees chairman Datuk Suzannah Liaw said at the ceremony. "It is a commitment to empowering individuals with ASD to lead meaningful, independent lives. "We are incredibly honoured to receive the royal support of Yang Amat Mulia Paduka Puteri Tunku Mariamz, which elevates our efforts to the national stage,' she added. The upgraded facility includes therapy rooms, sensory integration spaces, vocational training areas and specialised classrooms tailored to the unique learning styles of children and adults with ASD. It enables the expansion of Seri Mengasih's programmes in early intervention, social skills training and independent living education. Her Royal Highness YAM Paduka Puteri Tunku Mariamz Al-Marhum Sultan Iskandar receiving a bouquet of flowers from one of the Seri Mengasih's Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Training Centre pupils. According to the facility's management committee chairman Tulip Noorazyze, the Kololo Method has shown consistent success in helping students as young as three build essential skills and confidence. 'We have witnessed countless success stories with children who are now able to communicate better, manage themselves, and even hold jobs,' she said. The launch marks a milestone not only for Seri Mengasih but for the broader movement towards disability inclusion in Malaysia, with the centre aiming to be a model for other states to emulate. Tunku Mariamz's involvement is expected to draw national attention and spark greater interest in strengthening autism-related services throughout the country. 'This is a proud moment for Sabah and a hopeful one for every Malaysian family affected by ASD,' said Liaw. The Kololo Method was developed in Japan in 1980 by Ishii Hijiri and Saeko Kubota. Rooted in brain development and behavioural change theories, it prioritises those with severe challenges. The method focuses on group dynamics, recognising that social harmony and cooperation are essential for personal development. The programme also supports home-based training, encouraging parents to play an active and positive role in helping their children live independently.

Can Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear assets lead to an explosion or radiation leak?
Israel has struck major nuclear facilities in Iran this morning, including the country's Natanz nuclear-enrichment complex, in what it said was 'pre-emptive military action' aimed at thwarting Iran's attempts to build nuclear weapons. These strikes may be a major setback for Iran's atomic capabilities, and have the potential to trigger a full-blown war in the Middle East. But as of now, the risks of nuclear disaster involving an explosion or a major radioactive leak are very low. Here's why. First, some context Israeli opposition to Iran's nuclear programme is not new. Neither are its attempts to thwart Tehran from developing atomic weapons. The immediate trigger for the attack, however, was an adverse resolution by the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which declared that Iran has been non-compliant with its non-proliferation obligations — the first such resolution in two decades. The resolution, moved on Wednesday, comes on the back of an IAEA investigation which found that Iran was conducting 'secret nuclear activities' at three locations. Notably, Israel's escalation also comes ahead of the sixth round of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States, which were scheduled to take place in Muscat this Sunday. The escalation is likely to tank ongoing N-talks between the two countries which seek a deal that would prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons in exchange for sanctions relief. Israel's main target Israel's primary target was the Natanz Nuclear Facility, located in Isfahan province in central Iran. Natanz is the country's main uranium enrichment facility, where Iran has produced the vast majority of its nuclear fuel. Enrichment is the process through which uranium-235, which is used for producing nuclear weapons, is extracted from naturally occurring uranium which is primarily of the uranium-238 variety. Natanz stores nuclear material of different formulations, including both enriched and unenriched uranium, and centrifuges which carry out the enrichment. It is still too early to know how much damage Israel did. The entire Natanz facility, unlike Iran's other major enrichment facility in Fordow in the northern province of Qom, is not deeply buried. But the halls in which the centrifuges are kept, where the uranium is enriched, are said to be deep underground in the Persian desert and protected by highly reinforced concrete. But even if Israel did hit the facility, a major nuclear calamity is unlikely. Simply hittin nuclear material or equipment with conventional weapons does not lead to a nuclear explosion or a widespread radiation leak. What cannot be ruled out, however, are the chances of a localised dispersal of radioactive substances within the facility. 'It all depends on the configuration of nuclear material stored at the facility. If the nuclear material and explosives are kept separately, there isn't much danger of an explosion or leak, even if there is a direct hit on the nuclear material,' Anil Kakodkar, former head of India's Department of Atomic Energy, told The Indian Express. 'The strikes are likely to result in a dispersal, or the spread, of nuclear material into the environment. But this is likely to remain restricted within the facility or the place of the attack,' he added. Even if Israel were to have hit assembled nuclear weapons, the result is more likely to be a 'radiation leak' than an 'organised explosion', according to Kakodkar. Why this is the case Triggering a nuclear explosion, the kind atomic weapons are meant to bring about, requires a very precise set of processes to be followed, and a very specific initiation. All nuclear weapons also have inbuilt safety mechanisms to prevent an accidental detonation. The Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, therefore, is unlikely to result in a nuclear explosion or a major radiation leak, but could certainly be a health hazard to people working within the facility and in the localities immediately outside. Similar fears of a nuclear accident have prevailed in the Russia-Ukraine war as well, particularly when Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant had got caught in the fighting. The plant did suffer some damage, but even in that case, a major nuclear accident was unlikely. For latest updates on the situation in the Middle East, click here
