Jul 11, 2025 Bringing Jesus into the streets of Kampar to bless the town and its people. By Bernard AnthonyThe Church of the Sacred Heart marked a momentous and spiritually enriching celebration as parishioners gathered for the 117th parish feast of the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, held from June 27 to 29. This year's triduum was especially significant, coinciding with the 350th anniversary of the revelations of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St Margaret Mary Alacoque, a Visitation nun from Kampar parish has been actively promoting the devotion since the start of 2025. Under the guidance of parish priest Fr Simon Anand, parishioners have been encouraged to deepen their love for Jesus through the Sacred Heart devotion. In support of this, the parish also reprinted 'Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus' booklets for those seeking to grow in faith and triduum was led by Fr Joachim Robert from College General, Penang, who served as the main celebrant and preacher for all three days. Each Mass was preceded by special devotions to the Sacred Heart of Day 1, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, Fr Joachim reflected on the Sacred Heart as the ultimate symbol of God's love, mercy, and compassion. He urged the faithful to respond to Jesus' love through prayer, acts of service, and a deepened personal relationship with Him. The Mass was concelebrated by Fr Simon Anand and Fr Michael Dass from Batu Gajah, with around 500 faithful in attendance. Additional tents were set up outside the church to accommodate the large Day 2, the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Fr Joachim spoke about Mary's heart as one fully united with the Heart of Jesus — a heart open to God's promptings and filled with contemplation and trust. He reminded the faithful of Mary's unwavering faith despite her suffering, and how she always points believers back to Jesus. 'Her Immaculate Heart is our refuge,' Fr Joachim said, referencing the message of evening concluded with a candlelight procession through parts of Kampar town. The Blessed Sacrament was carried solemnly in a monstrance by the priests, accompanied by parishioners and pilgrims reciting the Rosary. Fr Joachim encouraged all present to pray for the Church, families, and the wider community during the procession, reminding them that God's love is complete, not superficial. More than 500 people participated in the sacred walk of faith and the triduum, parishioners and visitors had the opportunity to venerate relics of four saints: St Margaret Mary Alacoque; St Frances Xavier Cabrini; St Maximilian Kolbe and St Jeanne JuganOn Day 3 , which coincided with the Solemnity of Sts Peter and Paul, Fr Simon gave a homily reflecting on the lives and mission of these great apostles. He also explained the significance of the venerated relics, emphasising that relics are to be respected and venerated, not worshipped, as a sign of reverence toward the saints' holy Simon explained the importance of the procession as a physical and spiritual act of reverence and evangelisation — bringing Jesus into the streets of Kampar to bless the town and its people. He noted that the procession paused at three locations, where the Blessed Sacrament was raised in adoration and blessing over the Simon also encouraged the faithful to take advantage of the opportunity for confession to receive the Jubilee indulgence. 'As we celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus, let us allow our hearts to be touched and transformed by His divine love. Let our faith be visible not only in word, but in action — through reverent prayer, devotion, and love for others.'

'Scrubs' reboot is coming — here's where you can stream all 9 seasons
After years of rumors, teases and cast reunions, 'Scrubs' is finally getting a full-blown revival. ABC has officially ordered a new season of the zany medical comedy, bringing back original stars Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes, John C. McGinley, and Neil Flynn. Series creator Bill Lawrence will also return as executive producer alongside 'Ted Lasso' alum Brett Goldstein, so if you've been waiting for the "real thing" ever since the credits rolled on the final season, this is it. The reboot is being described as a 'continuation' rather than a total reset, picking up years after the original's finale and revisiting Sacred Heart with some familiar faces as well as plenty of new interns. Production is expected to begin in early 2026. But if you want to revisit the highs (and occasional heartbreaks) of the original series before the reboot lands, here's where you can stream all nine seasons of "Scrubs" right now. If you're planning to catch up on 'Scrubs' before the new series drops, you've got a few easy options. All nine seasons are currently streaming on Hulu, so you can jump straight back into Sacred Heart and follow J.D., Turk, and the rest of the gang from the very beginning. It's all there: the laughs, the heartbreak, the daydreams, and the bromance that defined the show. You can also stream the full series on Peacock, so whether you're a longtime fan or just curious what all the fuss was about, you've got choices. However you watch, now's the perfect time to revisit the show or watch it for the very first time. That way you'll be prepped and ready by the time the reboot finally airs on ABC. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The new 'Scrubs' series picks up years after the original finale, reuniting J.D. (Braff) and Turk (Faison) as they scrub in together once again at Sacred Heart. A lot has changed since we last saw everyone. Medicine looks different, the new crop of interns is about bringing some new energy, and the hospital itself isn't quite what it used to be. But the heart of the show remains the same. According to the official synopsis, while the world around them has evolved, J.D. and Turk's bromance has "stood the test of time." Series creator Bill Lawrence told The Independent last summer that talks of a reboot had been ongoing behind the scenes, even as the cast remained busy with other projects, for a while. "We all spend time with each other in real life,' he said, 'but everybody is so talented from that show that they're all working." That real-life closeness seems to have made its way into the new series, which isn't about rewriting the past, but continuing it and acknowledging how the characters (and the audience) have grown, while still delivering the same kind of comedy and occasional emotional moments that had people hooked in the first place. There's not a lot more that we know just yet about the story itself, but that should unfold over time.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The silliness of Sacred Heart is about to return. The "Scrubs" reboot was reported to be in development last year with Zach Braff returning as Sacred heart doctor J.D., but now Variety reports that the sitcom has been ordered straight-to-series by ABC for the 2025-2026 season. The site also reports that Braff won't be alone when it comes to former cast. Donald Faison will also be returning as Dr. Christopher Turk and Sarah Chalke will be back as Dr. Elliot Reid. Read More: 'Dexter: Resurrection' Early Reviews Are Overwhelmingly One-Sided Variety says more former castmates are expected to return for the reboot, with no mention of exactly who else might be scrubbing in. NBC/Getty Images Cast from the original series who could return include John C. McGinley who played the acerbic Dr. Cox, Neil Flynn of "The Middle" fame who played a janitor known for terrorizing J.D., and Judy Reyes as Nurse Carla. The official logline for the "Scrubs" revival reads, "JD (Braff) & Turk (Faison) scrub in together for the first time in a long time- medicine has changed, interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way." Tim Hobert and Aseem Batra, both of whom worked on the original series, will serve as executive producers and showrunners for the new show. "Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence will executive produce along with Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer. Braff, Chalk, and Faison are also serving as executive producers. "Scrubs" originally aired on NBC for its first seven seasons before jumping to ABC for its final two. Overall, the sitcom ran from 2001 to 2009, earning itself 2 Primetime Emmys in the process. While promoting the AppleTV+ series "Shrinking" back in 2023, Lawrence told Variety that a "Scrubs" reunion was "inevitable," though at the time he was speaking specifically of a reunion movie rather than a series. "In the greatest way, the cast of that show and the writers are so good that they're all working. And the main reason to do something like that isn't the work, it's because we actually love hanging out," Lawrence said. He continued, "I think it's inevitable that [a 'Scrubs' movie] happens. The joke of it with us is the first time that six months go by that we don't hang out, we'll end up doing a 'Scrubs' reunion."
