LAGI KORBAN SUBUTEX

MENINGGAL SELEPAS TUJUH BULAN MERANA

Oleh
Khalid Khamis

USIANYA baru menjangkau 24 tahun tetapi Allahyarhamha Normalina Othman terpaksa menjalani pembedahan menggantikan dua injap pernafasan dalam badan dengan injap plastik akibat teruk dimamah dadah Subutex.

Pembedahan yang agak rumit itu dijalani ibu tunggal dua anak itu sekitar lima bulan lalu di Hospital Universiti Nasional (NUH).

Keadaan Allahyarhamha reda sementara sebelum menjadi kritikal sehingga beliau dimasukkan ke Hospital Tan Tock Seng (TTSH) sekitar dua minggu lalu.

Hayat Allahyarhamha tidak lama. Beliau menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya pagi Selasa lalu di katil hospital.

Begitulah rintihan ayahnya, Encik Othman Mohamed, 51 tahun, seorang pesara, ketika ditemui di flat salah seorang anaknya di Bukit Batok West Avenue 2, semalam.

'Saya terima panggilan daripada doktor sekitar 11 pagi kelmarin.

'Para doktor memberitahu injap plastiknya tidak berfungsi sehingga menyekat udara masuk ke badan,' katanya.

Menurutnya, sebelum pembedahan beliau tidak tahu bahawa anak ketiga daripada empat anaknya itu mengambil Subutex. Beliau hanya mengetahui setelah diberitahu oleh pakar bedah.

'Doktor ada beritahu saya injapnya sudah habis hancur disebabkan Subutex. Sebelum ini saya tak tahu-menahu dan arwahnya pun tak pernah bilang.

'Lebih tujuh bulan dia merana dengan badan semakin kurus dan lemah.

'Tak tahan tengok dia sengsara sehingga tak boleh bangun, saya hantar dia ke hospital,' tambah beliau.

Encik Othman berkata Allahyarhamha pada mulanya dibawa ke Hospital Besar Changi (CGH) sebelum kesnya dirujuk ke beberapa buah hospital lain.

Pakar bedah di NUH memeriksa keadaannya dan sanggup merawatnya dan melakukan pembedahan.

Ibu Allahyarhamha pula terlalu sedih untuk ditemu ramah.

Salah seorang abang Allahyarhamha yang kini ditahan di pusat pemulihan dadah (DRC) diberi peluang menatap wajah adiknya buat kali terakhir dengan digiring para pegawai DRC dengan tangannya digari.

Jenazah Allahyarhamha selamat dikebumikan di Pusara Abadi petang semalam.

Dua anak Allahyarhamha yang berusia tiga tahun dan lapan tahun kini dijaga oleh keluarga abang sulungnya.

Suami Allahyarhamha telah meninggal dunia akibat barah.

Sejauh ini, sekurang-kurang tiga kematian telah disahkan akibat larutan Subutex oleh Mahkamah Koroner.

PENGHARGAAN AKADEMI PERUBATAN BAGI PM LEE

Anugerah tertinggi di atas sumbangan dalam pembangunan dan kemakmuran negara

Oleh
Azahar Mohd

PERDANA Menteri, Encik Lee Hsien Loong, semalam diberi anugerah Zamil Kehormat oleh Akademi Perubatan Singapura atas sumbangan beliau dalam pembangunan dan kemakmuran negara.

Anugerah itu disampaikan oleh Pengetua akademi itu, Profesor Ho Lai Yun, di majlis perasmian Kongres Perubatan Singapura-Malaysia di Pusat Konvensyen Raffles City, semalam.

Ia anugerah tertinggi akademi itu.

Watikah penganugerahan tersebut antara lain menyebut Encik Lee bertanggungjawab dan memainkan peranan penting dalam mengekalkan kejayaan Singapura sebagai sebuah negara.

Anugerah itu juga sebagai mengiktiraf usaha berterusan Encik Lee dalam meningkatkan piawaian dan kecemerlangan perubatan di Singapura, ujar watikah itu.

Antara pemimpin yang pernah diberi anugerah itu adalah Presiden S R Nathan; Menteri Pembimbing, Encik Lee Kuan Yew; dan mantan perdana menteri Malaysia, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Dalam ucapannya pula, Encik Lee berkata walaupun Singapura menikmati penjagaan kesihatan yang berkualiti, ia harus mengenal pasti cara-cara lebih baik untuk memastikan warganya kekal sihat dan terus membantu mereka yang menderita penyakit kronik mengurus penyakit mereka.

'Kita perlu mengekalkan sistem berdasarkan pasaran, dan menyelongkar pendekatan baru dan kreatif untuk membaikinya,' ujar Encik Lee.

Beliau juga berkata pemerintah akan terus melabur dalam penjagaan kesihatan, termasuk menyedia kan lebih banyak hospital.

Antara pendekatan yang boleh diambil ialah memanfaatkan teknologi maklumat.

Menurut Encik Lee, dengan memanfaatkan kepakaran dan teknologi dari India, misalnya, kos dan masa bagi pesakit National Health Group (NHG) telah dapat dikurangkan.

Beliau juga mahu sistem maklumat hospital menjalani pengkomputeran secara menyeluruh.

Changi Airport handles 17.7m passengers in first half

Posted: 19 July 2007 1927 hrs

SINGAPORE: Nearly 18 million passengers passed through Changi Airport in the first six months of this year, up 5.4 per cent over the same period last year, the airport operator said Thursday.

Lim Kim Choon, director general of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, said the growth has positioned the airport to possibly surpass the record 35.03 million passengers it handled for the whole of last year.

"With the steady growth of passengers through Changi Airport in the first six months this year, we look forward to setting new records for passenger traffic in 2007," he said in a statement.

Five new cities have also been added to the airport's network, boosting its role as a regional aviation hub - Udon Thani in Thailand, Tiruchirapally in India, Atlanta in the United States, Nairobi in Kenya and Budapest in Hungary.

"The new links bear testament to Singapore's growing connectivity and strengthening position as an air hub," Lim said.

Changi Airport is currently served by 79 airlines, serving 185 cities in 59 countries. - AFP/yy

SingTel launches Internet protocol TV in Singapore
Posted: 20 July 2007 1819 hrs

SINGAPORE: Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) on Friday announced its entry into the pay television market, offering an Internet protocol-based service to challenge the monopoly of rival StarHub.

SingTel's Chief Executive for Singapore operations Allen Lew says SingTel will spend S$30 million in the current fiscal year to develop the service.

"The next generation of television watching has arrived. Customers have been calling for choice and flexibility in the pay TV market and now they have it," he says.

To attract customers, SingTel is offering a competitive price, with subscription charges starting at just S$15 a month (before GST).

SingTel's aim is clear.

It wants no less than to overtake StarHub and become the market leader.

"We're not used to playing second to anybody, especially not in this market. We are financially responsible. We will get to number one position within a reasonable time, but I can't tell you when that will happen. We have our own internal targets for that," Lew says.

The launch of mio TV also means that SingTel will now be able to compete with StarHub head-on on all three services - TV, data and voice.

IPTV refers to the delivery of video or TV signals using Internet Protocol, usually via a broadband connection and a set-top box connected to the TV.

The new mio TV service, featuring 33 channels, will start on Saturday.

It will also offer high-definition television, or HDTV, content, giving a clearer, more vivid picture and could reach 85 percent of Singapore households.

The new service includes free-to-air channels by MediaCorp, blockbuster movies as well as a Cantonese movie channel.

MediaCorp's much anticipated HD5 will also be available on mio TV.

This will be the first free-to-air high-definition channel in Singapore which subscribers with HD-ready displays can enjoy, as all mio TV Set-Top Boxes are HD-ready at no extra cost.

Lucas Chow, CEO, MediaCorp, says: "Other than the HD5 channel (through) which we will be providing high-definition content, we will also be providing content that most probably you'll see on mio TV first before you see it on our free-to-air television.

"What it means is that now the viewers other than receiving our signals free to air, over the antenna, can also receive our signals over their IPTV channels."

In addition, SingTel has successfully inked an unprecedented output deal with Sony Pictures Television International that brings viewers Sony's upcoming slate of feature films at the same time as the DVD release and before they are seen anywhere else on TV.

The deal also includes key titles from Sony's extensive catalogue of feature films.

Subscribers of mio TV can pick from a price list of channels. The more channels they add on, the more expensive the monthly bill.

SingTel says mio TV's a la carte price plans allow customers to pay only for what they want to watch.

No longer do customers have to contend with restrictive basic tier subscription packages.

mio TV will also be among the first in the world to introduce on-demand channels to the Singapore market.

This option allows viewers to choose from up to 25 selected movies for unlimited viewing for only S$12 per month.

This means movies, anytime, for as low as 50 cents each.

Launching the event on Friday, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Community Development Youth and Sports, cautions the industry to keep its objective clear.

He says: "We can compete all we like, we can slash prices all we like, we can deliver content more efficiently but at the end of the day the two key things are content and services. It is the way companies successfully innovate to deliver content and services that will give you a lasting competitive edge."

And Dr Balakrishnan believes that can be achieved through investing in research and development in this fast changing field.

SingTel, Singapore's biggest company by stock market value and Southeast Asia's biggest telephone operator, had received a licence to offer the service in January.

Besides TV, IPTV operators can also offer viewers video-conferencing and interactive applications such as gaming. - CNA/ch

SAF commando drowning at camp ruled a misadventure by court
By Valarie Tan, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 21 July 2007 0041 hrs

SINGAPORE : The death of a commando who drowned at a pool training last year was ruled a misadventure in court on Friday.

His instructors were also found not guilty of criminal negligence.

24-year-old Lieutenant Lionel Lin was having water-treading training at Hendon Camp Swimming Pool when the incident happened.

The drill requires trainees to use both hands to hold up a machine gun slung to their body and stay afloat in water at a distance of not more than two to three metres from the gutter.

A coroner抯 inquiry on Friday revealed that the training that day was part of Lieutenant Lin's second attempt to pass an elite training course.

He had failed to complete it in 2004.

Lieutenant Lin was a trainee at the 2006/2007 Special Operations Force course.

During the drill on 20 June 2006, one of the instructors noticed the serviceman moving vigorously in water and breathing heavily.

When asked whether he could continue, Lieutenant Lin said yes.

Trouble started when he tried to swim back to the gutter.

He was last seen sinking despite trying to swim with side strokes.

He had stopped breathing by the time he was pulled out of the water.

Camp doctors failed to resuscitate him.

He was pronounced dead at Changi General Hospital. - CNA /ls

Changi General Hospital tests emergency preparedness
By Hoe Yeen Nie, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 21 July 2007 1739 hrs

SINGAPORE: Exercise Kingfisher aims to find out how prepared Singapore's public hospitals are in dealing with a large-scale bomb atack, should it ever occur.

Introduced by the Health Ministry two years ago, the simulated drill tests how public hospitals would cope with a sudden surge in mass casualties.

Imagine, a bomb attack at the Singapore Expo and the nearest hospital, Changi General Hospital, is inundated with victims of the blast.

But there is more - chemical poisoning, from chlorine gas tanks that exploded with the bomb.

For Changi General Hospital, the aim is to ramp up its facilities within three hours.

This includes staff recalls, and ensuring adequate food and medical supplies are brought in.

Says Wong Yoong Cheong, Director, Ops Readiness Control Division, \Ministry of Health, "When it comes to mass casualties, you're talking about flooding the department卲rocessing fast so that you can free up the resources to deal with subsequent ones. So that's the challenging part".

Says Selina Seah, Assistant Director, Operations, Changi General Hospital, "We actually set up an alternative site for intensive care, because we have existing patients in our intensive care unit that we still need to take care of.

"We will try to decant our Endoscopy centre and our Day Surgery ward to make way for 50 additional beds to take care of patients who require intensive care or high dependency care.

"We also have about 65 portable ventilators, which we will activate at the same time".

Coordination between hospitals and within hospital departments is key to managing a mass incident.

So is communication with the Health Ministry and the Civil Defence Force which will relay information from the incident site.

Says Professor S Jayakumar, Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security, "As to whether we are prepared, we will never know until it happens. But if we do not exercise, we will not have that element of being prepared, and of testing the plans.

"We can have very impressive plans, but until we test them we will not give confidence to the people actually doing it".

"When an actual disaster occurs, there will be confusion, there will be panic and chaos. So we have plans and we exercise the plans, and let's hope it does not happen.

"But when it happens, the people must be sufficiently agile, flexible and improvise and deal with the situation actually on the ground".

And this includes dealing with upset relatives of victims.

While this is only a simulated exercise Professor Jayakumar says it is important to be continually prepared, especially when the threat of a terrorist attack on Singapore is very real.

The drill at Changi General Hospital kickstarts the second series of exercises at public hospitals.

The first concluded in 2005. - CNA/yy

Mum bought houses with my money
By Karen Wong
July 22, 2007


A BUSINESSMAN is suing his own daughter - who has a low IQ - for her share of his mother's generous legacy.

[size=-2]Mr Chang Ham Chwee's mother left this pair of semi-detached houses to him and his mentally-challenged daughter, but he wants both houses.

He is also suing his three siblings for their share of three houses which sit on a total of about 18,000sqft of land at Paya Lebar Crescent.
The properties are estimated to be worth between $8 million and $9 million.
Madam Tan Soo Keow died in July last year at the age of 91.
In a will which she had made in April 2002, she bequeathed one semi-detached house to her son, Mr Chang Ham Chwee, 69, managing partner of Chan Kain Thye Literage Company.

[size=-2]Mr Chang's mother willed this bungalow to his brother, two sisters and a charity, but he wants this house as well. - Pictures: Kua Chee Siong

She gave another semi-detached house to her mentally-challenged granddaughter, Ms Chang Lee Siang, 51.
And she willed the proceeds of a bungalow to be split four-ways: To her daughters, Madam Chan Siew Khim, 70, Madam Chan Meow Khin, 60; her other son, Mr Chan Hung Hor, 67; and to a charity of the Chan sisters' choice.
But Mr Chang, an honorary council member of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, claims that the money which was used to buy and build the houses in the '50s and '60s was actually his.
He claims that his mother was holding the money in trust for him. And, as such, these properties - which were in his mother's name - actually belong to him.
According to documents filed with the High Court, his case is that when his father died suddenly in an accident on board a vessel in September 1950, he took over the running of the business, although he was just 13 years old.
He claims that his father had taken loans from his clients and his debts exceeded the value of his vessels.
As the eldest son, he had to step into his father's shoes, for the survival of his family. He claims his mother was in a state of shock and grief.
He negotiated with his father's creditors for a grace period to settle the debts and went about getting more business, he says.
In the days before the clean-up of the Singapore River in the early 1980s, lighters (also known as tongkangs) used to transport cargo between the port and the ships anchored out at sea.
DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL
As Mr Chang was busy with the business, he had to drop out of school the following year.
His mother could not have run such a business, he claims, as it would not have been possible for a woman to do so.
He claims that he gave the money that he had made from the business to his mother for safekeeping, as he was too young to open a bank account.
He did that from the time he took over the business, until around 1966.
He claims that his mother knew she was holding the money for him.
In 1951, he said, profit from the business was used to buy two plots at Paya Lebar Crescent.
They were put in his mother's name as, he claims, he was too young at that time.
Two years later, money from the business was used to buy another property along that stretch, now known as 40G. In 1959, Mr Chang's mother and siblings moved into the bungalow built there.
Mr Chang stayed at a shophouse in Boat Quay, to be close to his office.
In 1965, he decided to build four semi-detached houses on the other two plots so that they could be rented out.
They were completed in 1966 and paid for in 1967. In 1990 and 1991, two of the semi-detached houses, 40B and 40C, were sold for about $1.1m to help pay off MrChan Hung Hor's business debts.
Mr Chang claims that even after this, his mother had assured him that the rest of the properties belonged to him.
He also argues, through his lawyer, MrCavinder Bull from Drew & Napier, that Madam Tan's 2002 will is irrelevant as the properties were not hers to give away.
Mr Chang's sisters, however, have a different version of events.
They claim, through their lawyer, MrAnthony Lee of Bih Li & Lee, that after their father died in 1950, it was their mother, Madam Tan, who took over the lighterage business, running it with the help of her brother.
Madam Chan Siew Khim, being the eldest child, helped her mother keep the accounts and pay the workers.
The sisters, who are executors of their mother's will, claim that Mr Chang was then only a young, 'naughty' boy who was still in school and knew nothing about the business.
They say he joined as an apprentice only in 1952, after he dropped out of school.
The sisters claim it was their mother who was the boss. She ran the business while maids took care of them.
'FORMIDABLE WOMAN'
They say that Madam Tan was a 'formidable woman', with 'steely character' and determination. She commanded the respect of all the children, till the day she died.
It was she who bought the properties and dealt with the architects and contractors for their construction, they say.
They argue that the money from the lighterage business belonged to their mother alone.
It is not true that she was holding the money in trust for Mr Chang, they say, and the properties were hers to do as she wished.
Meanwhile, Mr Chan Hung Hor has taken his elder brother's side in the case, saying that Mr Chang is the beneficial owner of the three properties.
So the lawsuit has the two brothers pitting themselves against their sisters.
As for Ms Chang, represented by Mr Wong Siew Hong of Infinitus Law Corporation , she is just saying that her grandmother gave her the house.
The case is due to be heard in the High Court on Monday.

Illegals, but cannot leave the country yet
As many as 80 foreign workers can be found sleeping in the Streets of Little India
By Brian Higgs and Mugilan Rajasegeran

MANY OF THE FOREIGN WORKERS who sleep by the road side along Cuff Road in Little India had come here on social visit passes and overstayed. They had already served their sentences. -- ST PHOTOS: MUGILAN RAJASEGERAN

View more photos

IT IS midnight in Little India's Cuff Road. Lined up on both sides of the road are scores of sleeping Indian foreign workers.
They use pieces of cloth and newspaper to cushion against the hard ground. Some hang their clothes on the gates of the shops.
On any given night, as many as 80 of them can be found sleeping in the streets.
Over a period of one month, The Sunday Times spoke to about 40 of these workers and found that the bulk of them were illegals who had come here on social visit passes but overstayed. Most of them had worked illegally.
All had been punished by the courts and served their sentences. But they cannot go home yet because they are helping the authorities to investigate their errant employers and landlords. Some have been living this way for as long as three months.
Mr Somanthan Sedhurajan, 57, from Chennai province, despairs most about his three children back in India - a son and two daughters - who rely on his earnings: 'I have to earn money. My family situation in India is very bad.'
For the first six months this year, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) arrested 1,822 foreigners for working illegally. A total of 390 employers were charged with employing illegal workers.
The ministry said those required to stay to aid with investigations are issued Special Passes by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority or MOM. These passes enable them to work to support themselves, and employment is facilitated with a temporary job scheme (TJS) administered by the ministry.
'Only key witnesses are retained,' said an MOM spokesman. 'The rest may return home once they have given their statements.'
He added: 'In situations where the workers have to attend to urgent personal matters back home, MOM would also facilitate their return to the home country temporarily.'
But workers like Mr Samikkannu Shanmugam, 25, from Thanjavur, India, said he was not aware of the temporary job option.
In a letter to The Straits Times Forum, Mr Jolovan Wham, 28, executive director of the Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics, an independent organisation, reckons there are several thousand such workers here.
His organisation, which looks into the welfare of migrant workers, currently has 38 at its shelter in Little India.
'More jobs should be made available and there should be better communication to let them know about the scheme.'
Ms Elizabeth Tan, 55, chairman of the Archdiocesan Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People, said errant employers should house the workers.
Contractors drop by Cuff Road to offer day jobs which pay up to $20 a day. At least $5 of that could go to a dormitory room for the night, but for most, the money is better saved.
One of the workers, Mr Ravi, 42, who is the sole breadwinner of his family which includes a 12-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter in Tamil Nadu province, said he appreciates that 'at least he has a place to sleep at night'.
Business owners in Cuff Road have mixed feelings. Mr Tan Koon Seng, 65, owner of He He Food Shop, gives them leftover food from his shop, because 'they are very pitiful'.
But a Singapore Gujarati Society spokesman complained that the workers dry their clothes in front of the main door. He shoos them away 'but after I come back, they are there again'.

TAK SANGKA KALI TERAKHIR MAKAN BERSAMA...

Pemuda meninggal dalam kemalangan motosikal

Oleh
Nadzri Eunos

SEBAGAI abang sulung, Muhammad Fazlie cukup mengambil berat kebajikan kedua-dua adiknya.

Minatnya kepada bidang masak-memasak dimanfaatkannya dan beliau sering menyiapkan makanan untuk adik-adiknya semasa ibu bapanya sibuk di gerai makanan mereka.

Cita-cita pekerja di syarikat piza itu ialah menjadi seorang cef.

Pada 11 Julai lalu, beliau telah menyiapkan juadah makan malam yang lengkap untuk keluarganya - udang goreng, sup ikan, kentang goreng dan banyak lagi.

Jarang mereka berpeluang makan bersama.

Tetapi, ternyata itulah kali terakhir mereka makan bersama sekeluarga.

Tiga hari kemudian pada dinihari 14 Julai, jejaka berusia 24 tahun itu menemui maut dalam satu kemalangan motosikal, sejurus meninggalkan stesen minyak Esso di Tampines Avenue 7.

Muhammad Fazlie, yang ketika itu sedang menunggang motosikal bersama tiga lagi temannya, telah merempuh motosikal salah seorang temannya dan tercampak.

Allahyarham disahkan meninggal dunia pada 2.52 pagi di tempat kejadian.

Ayahnya, Encik Sumarli Surana, 48 tahun, tidak dapat menahan sebak semasa menceritakan hari-hari terakhir anaknya itu, di rumah mereka di Pasir Ris, semalam.

'Malam tu arwahnya ketuk pintu bilik saya dan ajak saya dan isteri makan malam sama-sama. Kerana agak penat kami tertidur. Setengah jam kemudian dia ketuk lagi, ajak kami. Bila kami turun semua dah disiapkan.

'Arwahnya seorang pendiam, tak banyak cakap semasa kami nikmati masakan. Tak sangka itu kali terakhir kami akan makan bersama,' kata beliau sambil mengesat air mata yang berlinangan.

Anak bongsunya, Muhammad Imran, 17 tahun, pula menceritakan:

'Selalunya apabila abang keluar malam, dia belikan makanan dan kami makan bersama apabila dia pulang. Jadi apabila dia keluar malam tu, dia suruh saya tunggu sampai dia balik... Tapi yang balik ketuk pintu bukan abang, tapi kawan abang. Mereka kata abang dah tak ada.'

LELAKI DAN DUA WANITA DIBERKAS PERIHAL KES BUNUH

SEORANG lelaki dan dua wanita diberkas polis berkaitan satu kes bunuh seorang lelaki berusia 34 tahun awal pagi kelmarin.

Dalam kenyataannya semalam, polis berkata seorang lelaki berusia 32 tahun berserta seorang wanita berusia 33 tahun diberkas di Kompleks Polis Cantonment pagi semalam.

Seorang lagi wanita berusia 36 tahun pula diberkas di sebuah unit di Woodlands Circle berkaitan kes yang sama pagi semalam.

'Siasatan polis berjaya mengenal pasti lagi dua orang yang disyaki dan usaha sedang berjalan bagi mengesan dan memberkas mereka,' tambah kenyataan itu.

Awal pagi kelmarin, polis mendapat panggilan bahawa seorang lelaki yang cedera di kening kanannya terbaring tidak sedarkan diri di lantai dekat lobi lif Blok 217, Bukit Batok Street 21.

Mangsa, Encik Ng Hui Khiam, dibawa ke hospital tetapi disahkan meninggal dunia sekitar 5.30 pagi itu.

Abang Encik Ng berkata keluarganya tidak tahu akan kejadian sebenar di sebalik kematian adiknya itu.

Seorang penolong di sebuah kedai berdekatan, Cik Nazia Noraimi, 21 tahun, pula berkata beliau dan bapanya terdengar teriakan seawal 2 pagi kelmarin.

Menurutnya, meskipun hujan lebat ketika itu, te riakan masih boleh dide ngar.

Beliau mendakwa melihat beberapa lelaki berkumpul di kolong blok tersebut pada sebelah malam sekitar empat hingga lima kali dalam sebulan.

Akhbar The Sunday Times semalam melaporkan Cik Nazia mendakwa mendengar beberapa lelaki bergaduh sekitar 10 malam Jumaat lalu.

'Saya tidak dapat tidur dan sedang membaca apabila terdengar pegaduhan itu,' katanya lagi.
