KUALA LUMPUR: The mental health of the Special Malaysia Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (SMART) members is in good shape after landing in quake-hit Myanmar on March 30.
The team has been diligently conducting search and rescue operations beginning on March 31, on Hari Raya Aidilfitri, and has since recovered at least four bodies buried under the rubble of buildings.
The 50-member team is expected to spend seven to 14 days in Myanmar for this mission.
"The entire team is healthy and in good spirits to help and find victims that are still buried. They are a highly-trained team, both physically and mentally," National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) Director-General Datuk Khairul Shahril Idrus told the New Straits Times.
The team performed brief Aidilfitri prayers in the morning before heading out to the site at 8.30am on March 31.
Despite some concerns that the military junta governing Myanmar would disrupt search and rescue operations, Khairul said that the operations were going smoothly as planned.
"Rescue operations are carried out together with the junta and the Myanmar security team which consistently ensures safety. Every day, the Smart team will discuss with the local authorities to determine the operation sites," he said.
On March 28, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar with Mandalay, Bago, Magway, northeastern Shan State, Sagaing, and Naypyidaw being among the worst-affected areas. It also affected northern Thailand and parts of southern China.
Malaysia has pledged RM10 million in humanitarian aid for Myanmar.
SAIGANG: Pasukan Mencari dan Menyelamat Khas Malaysia (SMART) yang dalam misi operasi mencari dan menyelamat (SAR) mangsa gempa bumi di Myanmar, berjaya menemukan seorang lelaki hidup selepas terperangkap lebih 72 jam di bawah runtuhan bangunan petang tadi.
Perkara tersebut dimaklumkan oleh Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi dalam satu kenyataan.
Menurutnya, mangsa yang ditemui merupakan seorang lelaki berusia lingkungan 40-an dan ditemukan di kawasan kediaman Jalan Sagaing-Ta Da U.
“Mangsa berjaya dibawa keluar pada jam 2.27 petang dengan kerjasama anggota bomba tempatan, dan kemudian dihantar dengan ambulans ke hospital untuk rawatan lanjut,” ujarnya.
Mengulas mengenai kejadian itu, Ahmad Zahid berkata penemuan mangsa yang masih hidup selepas terperangkap lebih tiga hari di bawah runtuhan adalah sesuatu yang luar biasa dan dianggap sebagai keajaiban.
Sebelum itu, pasukan SMART turut berjaya menemui dan mengeluarkan empat jasad mangsa yang terkorban dalam gempa bumi yang melanda Sagaing.
Dalam pada itu, Ahmad Zahid turut merakamkan ucapan takziah kepada keluarga mangsa yang terlibat dalam tragedi berkenaan.
“Kita mendoakan agar keluarga mereka dikurniakan ketabahan dan kekuatan menghadapi ujian yang berat ini,” tambahnya.
Jumaat lalu, gempa bumi berukuran 7.7 pada skala Richter melanda Myanmar dengan Mandalay, Bago, Magway, timur laut negeri Shan, Sagaing dan Naypyidaw antara kawasan yang paling teruk terjejas.
SHAH ALAM – Seorang pengguna TikTok berkongsi video rakaman kamera papan pemuka yang menunjukkan kehadiran jentera pengorek didakwa dalam kawasan jajaran paip gas berpagar, beberapa hari sebelum tragedi kebakaran saluran gas di Putra Heights, Subang Jaya pada Selasa.
Video rangkuman berdurasi satu minit 41 saat itu turut menunjukkan kerja-kerja pengorekan tanah melangkaui kawasan berpagar.
Rakaman dipercayai bertarikh 28 Mac dimuat naik oleh pengguna TikTok, miiraahz, memaparkan jentera pengorek berada tidak jauh dari lokasi kerja-kerja pengorekan tanah di tepi jalan.
Klip tersebut kemudian menunjukkan kemunculan jentera pengorek kaut pada sebelah petang 30 Mac, berada betul-betul di kawasan pengorekan tanah.
Berdasarkan pemerhatian, keluasan tanah yang dikorek bertambah besar dalam tempoh dua hari tersebut dan tiada sebarang papan tanda penyelenggaraan dipasang.
Miiraahz juga berkongsi pengalaman kerap kali melalui jalan berdekatan Putra Heights dan mengagumi kehijauan kawasan lapang yang berpagar namun kini meluahkan rasa hiba setelah lokasi itu bertukar seakan 'medan perang'.
"Selalu lalu jalan ni, selalu nampak hijau je cantik tapi sekarang... Semoga dipermudahkan urusan semua mangsa kejadian. Amin," tulisnya.
Rakaman itu secara tidak langsung mencetuskan persoalan serta menerima pelbagai reaksi daripada pengguna TikTok lain.
Seorang pengguna dikenali sebagai Ji mempersoalkan kehilangan jentera berat yang berada di kawasan berkenaan sebelum tragedi kebakaran berlaku.
"Tertanya-tanya mana pergi semua jentera yang buat kerja di situ. Adakah mereka dah tahu awal-awal lagi paip dah bocor?" soalnya.
Sementara itu, pemilik akaun belacan hangus pula mendakwa terdapat dua jentera berat dalam video yang tular tersebut.
"Ada dua buah, backhoe dan excavator. 28 hari bulan, excavator. 30 hari bulan, backhoe. Masaklah, dah ada bukti, kongsi sampai pihak sepatutnya tahu, terutamanya Petronas," komennya.
Bagi DonAfiez, dia berharap video yang dimuat naik dalam media sosial itu diserahkan kepada pihak polis untuk dijadikan bukti.
"Tuan video, saya harap bukti 'dashcam' ini diserahkan kepada pihak polis sebab bukti ini kukuh mengatakan ada backhoe yang tengah jalankan aktiviti korek-korek," katanya.
Setakat ini, video tersebut telah meraih 1.4 juta tontonan, sekali gus menarik perhatian ramai pengguna media sosial.
Bagaimanapun, Sinar Harian masih berusaha mendapatkan maklum balas lanjut daripada pengguna TikTok yang mendakwa sebagai pemilik rakaman berkenaan.
SUBANG JAYA: A man and a group of foreigners saved two children who were trying to cross a river to reach safety following the gas pipeline explosion in Putra Heights.
Ahmad Syawal Hassan, 39, said today that he heard faint cries for help and jumped into the river to rescue them.
Syawal, from Kampung Sri Aman here, said it was about 8.15am yesterday when he noticed the children and their family members crossing the river.
"They were trying to avoid the extreme heat. "The children were screaming for help and looked like they were about to drown."
He said several others, including five Pakistani men, also jumped into the river to help.
"More people were trying to cross the river at the time. Some had suffered burns. We helped them all get to safety."
Amir Nawab, 48, one of the Pakistani men, said their goal was to save those who were having trouble crossing the river.
"We saw that people were calling for help. When we reached the scene, one of my friends jumped into the river."
He said they saw children struggling in the river and feared they might be swept away by the current.
Another member of the group, Jaaffar Ali, 48, said: "I saw people who needed help and just acted. I'm thankful they were all saved."
Videos of the incident have gone viral.

The gas pipeline blast in Putra Heights yesterday left a crater with a depth of 10m, says Subang Jaya police chief Wan Azlan Wan Mamat.
Wan Azlan said the crater’s width measured about 21m by 24m, Bernama reported.
The fire and rescue department sent a team at 3.30pm to inspect the crater, along with officers from Petronas, the occupational safety and health department, and minerals and geoscience department.
“In addition to the inspection of the affected area, we have also deployed a team from Petronas to monitor all four gas pipeline valves on-site, manually checking to ensure that no gas pressure remains,” said fire and rescue department director-general Nor Hisham Mohamad.
“This process is being conducted around the clock, 24 hours a day,” he added.
The fire, which broke out yesterday morning along Jalan Putra Harmoni, engulfed a 500m section of a gas pipeline, leaving 111 people injured — with many requiring hospitalisation for burns and respiratory issues.
A total of 399 vehicles were affected, with 225 burnt and 174 damaged. Some 538 residents from 120 families have also been forced to seek shelter at two temporary relief centres.
