POPULAR RED PANDA TRAVELS TO ANOTHER ZOO FOR BREEDING; FACILITIES WORKING TO PROTECT AT-RISK SPECIES - SABAE, FUKUI JAPAN

POPULAR RED PANDA TRAVELS TO ANOTHER ZOO FOR BREEDING; FACILITIES WORKING TO PROTECT AT-RISK SPECIES - SABAE, FUKUI JAPAN 

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

SABAE, Fukui — Love may be in the air for a female red panda named Kaede. She recently left her home at Nishiyama Zoo in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture, to “marry” another panda at a facility in Nomi, Ishikawa Prefecture.

Red pandas are classified as a threatened species on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. The Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums has established a project to breed such endangered species by lending and borrowing animals among zoos and aquariums.

Kaede’s “marriage” with a red panda at Ishikawa Zoo is part of this project. She is being housed with a male named Hinata, and the zoo plans to exhibit the couple together after Kaede grows accustomed to her new environment.

After Kaede’s transfer was announced, fans flocked to Nishiyama Zoo to say goodbye, taking pictures of the adorable animal as she moved around her enclosure and ate her food.

Nishiyama Zoo is known for raising many red pandas. Kaede was born there in June 2022.

“She’s a very active, adventurous girl. I hope she becomes a kind mother,” said Koji Nakajima, one of the Nishiyama Zoo staff involved in raising red pandas.

VIRAL - SYAWAL 2025 DIHANGATKAN INSIDEN ABG BELON DAN PENGUASA DBKL 

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

KUALA LUMPUR: Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) merehatkan tiga anggota penguat kuasanya yang terlibat dalam insiden kekecohan di Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, di sini, dua hari lalu.

Tindakan ini diambil bagi memberi laluan kepada siasatan dalaman DBKL serta siasatan oleh Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) agar dapat dijalankan secara bebas, telus dan menyeluruh tanpa sebarang campur tangan.

Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur, Datuk Seri Dr Maimunah Mohd Sharif, berkata keputusan ini turut dibincang bersama Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Wilayah Persekutuan).

"DBKL memandang serius isu ini dan tidak akan berkompromi dengan sebarang bentuk salah laku warga kerja sekiranya dibuktikan bersalah, terutamanya yang menjejaskan integriti dan kepercayaan awam terhadap institusi penguatkuasaan.

"DBKL kekal berprinsip untuk menegakkan tadbir urus yang berintegriti, bertanggungjawab dan berteraskan prinsip keadilan kepada semua pihak.

"Sebarang keputusan akan ditentukan setelah siasatan penuh selesai," katanya dalam satu kenyataan.

Maimunah berkata, dalam perkembangan berkaitan, Pengarah Eksekutif (Sosio Ekonomi) dan Pengarah Jabatan Penguatkuasaan juga telah mewakili DBKL menziarahi peniaga yang mengalami kecederaan Muhamad Za'imuddin Azlan, yang kini sedang menerima rawatan di hospital.

"DBKL turut mempertimbangkan untuk menanggung kos rawatan beliau sepanjang tempoh rawatan tertakluk kepada semakan lanjut dan keperluan perubatan semasa.

"Kami menyeru agar semua pihak mengelak dari membuat spekulasi bagi membolehkan pihak berwajib menjalankan siasatan terperinci berhubung kes ini," katanya.

Dalam kejadian sekitar jam 11.50 malam itu, beberapa rakaman video tular membabitkan pertengkaran antara kumpulan penguat kuasa DBKL dengan Muhamad Za'imuddin yang sedang menjual belon di sekitar Jalan TAR.

REPAINTED GIGANTOR UNVEILED IN KOBE; MONUMENT SERVES AS SYMBOL OF RECONSTRUCTION FROM QUAKE - HYOGO KOBE, JAPAN

REPAINTED GIGANTOR UNVEILED IN KOBE; MONUMENT SERVES AS SYMBOL OF RECONSTRUCTION FROM QUAKE - 

HYOGO KOBE, JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

KOBE — The huge monument of Gigantor, or Tetsujin 28-go, located in a town square in Nagata Ward, Kobe, has been repainted.

Gigantor is a giant robot character created by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, a mangaka from Kobe. The 15-meter-tall “life-sized” monument was installed in 2009 as a symbol of reconstruction in the south area of JR Shin-Nagata Station, which was devastated by the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake. About 80% of buildings in the district were destroyed or burned down in the disaster.

Its faded colors were noticeable after wind and rain exposure, so it was repainted in February, for the first time since 2016.

After repainting was complete, the scaffolding was removed by the end of February. The Gigantor monument revealed its restored luster, sparkling in the sunlight.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Great Hanshin Earthquake.

“We hope people will come to see the restored streetscape as well as the beautiful Tetsujin,” said Seiji Okada of the Kobe Tetsujin Project, an NPO organization made up of local store owners who suffered major damage from the earthquake.

BULLET TRAIN SERVICES HALTED FOR 3 HOURS AFTER TRAIN CARS DECOUPLE NEAR TOKYO - TOKYO JAPAN

BULLET TRAIN SERVICES HALTED FOR 3 HOURS AFTER TRAIN CARS DECOUPLE NEAR TOKYO - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

A bullet train on the Tohoku Shinkansen Line made an emergency stop near a station in Tokyo on Thursday after two cars decoupled, leading to a 3-hour suspension of bullet train services in eastern Japan, the railway operator said.

Bullet train services on the Tohoku, Yamagata, Akita, Hokuriku, and Joetsu shinkansen lines resumed at around 2:35 p.m. after they were suspended on certain sections following the incident, JR East said.

The bullet train in question was carrying around 640 passengers at the time of the incident, but no one sustained injuries, according to the operator.

Sections with suspended shinkansen services included Tokyo-Shin-Aomori on the Tohoku line, Tokyo-Niigata on the Joetsu line and Tokyo-Nagano on the Hokuriku line.

The Hayabusa-Komachi train service, which consists of two linked trains, was found decoupled between Ueno and Omiya stations at around 11:30 a.m. and halted near Nishinippori Station on a local commuter line for examination, according to the company.

The two trains were supposed to separate later, with the Hayabusa to travel to Shinaomori Station on the Tohoku Shinkansen Line and the Komachi to Akita on the Akita Shinkansen Line.

Last September, linked Hayabusa and Komachi bullet trains uncoupled while in motion between Furukawa and Sendai stations in Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan, and were forced to make an emergency stop. About 320 passengers were onboard, but none sustained injuries, according to JR East.

At a press conference on Thursday, JR East said it would suspend all coupled shinkansen operations until the issue is identified and countermeasures are in place.

'EERINE' SKY, CHARRED BODIES: 80 YEARS SINCE TOKYO WWII FIRESTORM - TOKYO JAPAN

'EERINE' SKY, CHARRED BODIES: 80 YEARS SINCE TOKYO WWII FIRESTORM - TOKYO JAPAN 

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

On her sixth birthday 80 years ago, Shizuko Nishio clung to her mother as U.S. B-29 bombers started a firestorm that turned humans to ash and Tokyo into a wasteland.

Five months before the United States dropped atomic weapons on Japan's Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the nighttime raid on March 9-10, 1945 was World War II's deadliest using conventional bombs.

At least 80,000 people died, and likely more than 100,000, according to Japanese and U.S. historians.

Nishio, now about to turn 86, was one of the lucky ones. She was the only survivor in her kindergarten class of 20 children.

The night before the raid, she had been "feeling excited" about her birthday and looking forward to starting primary school.

"Then at night, when we were in bed, my father told us to flee to the primary school in front of our house," the retired vet and medical researcher said.

The shelter was already packed.

Nishio's 19-year-old cousin and a nurse stayed, but the rest of the group went to another school basement.

Wave after wave of bombers dropped incendiary bombs, creating an inferno that consumed 16 square miles (4,145 hectares) of the city.

"We thought my cousin and the nurse would be fine," Nishio said.

Hours later they were among 200 people "discovered dead in a steamed state", cooked alive in the shelter by the raging fires outside.

Before dawn, the morning of her birthday, Nishio and her family emerged to discover "charred bodies" that were like "human logs," she said.

"There was nothing", she said. "It was like the surface of the moon".

British historian Richard Overy, author of "Rain of Ruin: Tokyo, Hiroshima and the Surrender of Japan", said that creating "an unstoppable conflagration" was "deliberate".

"Until the raid on Tokyo, the American Air Force had been trying to destroy Japanese factories or attack Japanese ports. But they'd been very unsuccessful," Overy told AFP.

U.S. Air Force General Curtis LeMay decided to "attack low, with incendiaries, and burn down cities," Overy said.

"By burning them down, you would kill workers, de-house them. You would destroy small factories scattered around the domestic residential zones. And that this would contribute in some way to undermining the Japanese war economy."

Because of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, followed the following month by Japan's surrender, the firebombing of Tokyo is often overlooked.

Even the similar attacks by the Americans and British on Hamburg and Dresden in Germany -- which killed fewer people -- are better known, Overy said.

Tokyo was "the worst conventional bombing attack of World War II. We need to be more aware of it," Overy said.

"There's no doubt the civilians were a deliberate target," he said.

Yoko Kitamura was eight at the time of the bombing.

She remembers the sky glowing "eerie red" and hearing that the river was "filled with bodies".

"The fire was growing while I was watching the sky in fear," the 88-year-old told AFP. "In our area, it was bright like it was daytime".

Two months later, on May 24, 1945, her district of Tokyo was also attacked with incendiary bombs.

One fell near her and "like a sparkler" scattered flames.

"One dropped on a person in front of me, whose clothing caught fire," Kitamura said.

"'It's catching fire!' I thought. But I couldn't ask if the person was okay... I was fleeing for dear life," she said.

Later, Kitamura became a doctor, but she always hated the sound of ambulances because it reminded her of the scream of air raid sirens.

"How stupid mankind is, killing each other", Kitamura said, after being asked about wars today.

Nishio agreed. "When I was watching television of the Ukraine situation, there was a little girl crying at a shelter... I thought, this is me!" she said.

SMALL ISLAND COMMUNITIES IN JAPAN PREPARE TO RIDE OUT DISASTER'S ALONE - SENDAI JAPAN

SMALL ISLAND COMMUNITIES IN JAPAN PREPARE TO RIDE OUT DISASTER'S ALONE - SENDAI JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

SENDAI

Japan has more than 400 small, inhabited islands that are uniquely exposed to the risks of natural disasters.

In the event of a major earthquake, the islands' inherent isolation and, for some, remote locations make the delivery of emergency supplies and other aid in the aftermath of tsunami and other calamities a big challenge.

While authorities at national and municipal levels are striving to raise awareness of the need for individuals to be ready and able to help themselves and others, some took matters into their own hands after the 2011 earthquake that devastated the northeast's Tohoku region.

The Urato Islands in Matsushima Bay in the region demonstrate how island communities can support themselves during crises. In 2011, the residents of the four inhabited islets minimized casualties by working together after the earthquake and tsunami, with little government assistance.

After the disaster, self-sufficiency on the islands in Miyagi Prefecture proved critical as there were only three deaths from some 600 inhabitants, despite half of the houses being destroyed or swept away.

A tsunami estimated at 8.5 meters reached Katsurashima, the most populated of the four islands, and firefighters and other rescuers reportedly forced elderly people who were unwilling to evacuate to relocate to shelters.

As support from outside could not be expected, islanders voluntarily and independently managed the shelter, which housed some 240 people at one point.

They gathered available food from their homes to make up for shortages and set up temporary toilets. In addition, they formed 10-person groups to provide security around the clock.

Islanders also operated heavy machinery to remove debris from roads and arranged the shipment of medicines from Japan's main island of Honshu by asking residents what was needed.

Efforts to sustain the community without the help of public authorities continued until the completion of temporary homes for displaced people.

Even with such displays of resilience, experts stress the importance of discussing disaster readiness in advance of any incident.

A tsunami of some 30 meters in height struck Okushiri Island in Japan's northernmost prefecture of Hokkaido within two to three minutes after the 1993 Hokkaido southwest-offshore earthquake. The tsunami warning was not issued in time and 198 people were killed. A large fire also broke out, destroying the Aonae district in the southern part of the island.

"As roads and the seaport were damaged, the delivery of goods was delayed," recalled Akira Mitsushima, a senior official of the Okushiri town office who experienced the earthquake.

The seaport was damaged, meaning large vessels could not dock and land-based search and rescue operations had to be conducted without heavy equipment since bulldozers and other heavy equipment could not be landed. The delivery of food and water to people was also delayed.

Last August, a team of officials from Mie in central Japan visited Okushiri Island to learn about disaster preparedness from those who experienced the quake firsthand.

They did so due to the likelihood of a major earthquake causing widespread damage to the prefecture that sits on the dangerous Nankai Trough -- an ocean-floor trench along the Pacific coast where the Eurasian and Philippine Sea tectonic plates meet.

There are six inhabited remote islands in Mie, including Kamishima, located in Ise Bay.

Kamishima is forecast to be hit by a tsunami of up to 27 meters in the event of a Nankai Trough quake. However, the island's population of 270 is not protected by seawalls.

The island, which is part of the city of Toba, a popular tourist destination, is accessible only by boat and helicopter.

The municipal government is making efforts to improve the situation by organizing food storage and portable toilets as part of disaster readiness and mitigation measures. But there are no city officials stationed there.

Stopping short of admitting the reality that islanders will largely be on their own during a disaster, a Toba official said, "We want islanders to have a strong sense of disaster awareness."

Naohiro Go, a professor at the Tohoku University of Community Service and Science and an expert on regional anti-disaster measures, listed some significant risk factors for islands and their residents in a disaster.

"There are many unoccupied homes that will easily collapse and the maintenance and management of evacuation routes is difficult due to the advanced ages of the islanders," Go said.

He stressed the importance of administrative initiatives, among other efforts, to "establish a forum for continuous discussions among islanders" regarding disaster relief and mitigation efforts, such as evacuation methods and the maintenance of shelters.

WILDFIRE MASSIVE IN NORTHEASTERN JAPAN CONTAINED AFTER 12 DAYS - MORIOKA, IWATE JAPAN

WILDFIRE MASSIVE IN NORTHEASTERN JAPAN CONTAINED AFTER 12 DAYS - MORIOKA, IWATE JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

MORIOKA, Iwate

A massive wildfire in northeastern Japan was declared contained Sunday after raging for 12 days, damaging at least 210 buildings in its wake, the local government said.

Evacuation orders still in place for 2,424 people across 979 households in Ofunato, Iwate Prefecture, are expected to be lifted by noon Monday, according to the city.

"Based on aerial reconnaissance, we have determined that there is no risk of the fire spreading further. Moving forward, we will focus on supporting the victims and staying alert to ensure the fire is fully extinguished," Mayor Kiyoshi Fuchigami said.

The fire, which broke out on Feb 26, has burned approximately 2,900 hectares, or 9 percent of the city. As of noon Sunday, the damage included 102 homes, 76 of which were completely destroyed, and 108 non-residential buildings such as offices. The figure is likely to increase further as investigations proceed.

Evacuation orders were issued for 4,596 residents from 1,896 households at one point, but were gradually lifted as firefighting efforts and rainfall reduced the risk of the blaze spreading further.

Taking into consideration the possibility of the fire reigniting and access to essential services, the city began partially lifting evacuation orders from Friday.

Kyoji Sato, an 82-year-old fisherman who is staying at a community center in the city, expressed relief upon hearing the fire had been contained.

But with his house having been destroyed in the fire, he noted that "I can't relax until I find a new place to live."

Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said at a government meeting Friday that the fire would be designated as a "disaster of extreme severity" and that central government subsidies for local recovery and reconstruction would be boosted.
