Netanyahu mengecam pogrom antisemitik di Amsterdam, memberi amaran kepada pemimpin dunia serangan akan merebak jika tidak bertindak

(SeaPRwire) - JERUSALEM - Pada hari Ahad, Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu mengecam pogrom antisemitik terburuk terhadap orang Yahudi pada abad ini di Eropah.Netanyahu mengarahkan ucapannya yang pedas kepada serangan ganas antisemitik oleh orang ramai terhadap orang Israel yang berlaku di bandar Amsterdam, Belanda pada hari Khamis. "Kami tidak akan pernah membenarkan kekejaman sejarah berulang. Kami tidak akan pernah tunduk kepada antisemitisme atau keganasan," katanya.Beliau menambah, "Terdapat garis jelas yang menghubungkan dua serangan antisemitik terhadap Israel yang kita saksikan baru-baru ini di tanah Belanda: Serangan undang-undang yang tercela terhadap Negara Israel di Mahkamah Antarabangsa di The Hague, dan serangan ganas terhadap warga Israel di jalanan Amsterdam. Dalam kedua-dua kes, terdapat antisemitisme yang berbahaya, yang matlamatnya adalah untuk menjadikan orang Yahudi dan negara mereka tidak berdaya, untuk menafikan hak negara kita untuk mempertahankan diri dan untuk menafikan hak warganegara kita untuk hidup."Semalam... Ia adalah serangan yang brutal dan ganas terhadap orang Yahudi hanya kerana mereka adalah orang Yahudi. Malangnya, dalam beberapa hari kebelakangan ini kita melihat gambar yang mengingatkan kita tentang malam itu. Di jalanan Amsterdam, perusuh antisemitik menyerang orang Yahudi, warga Israel, hanya kerana mereka adalah orang Yahudi."Netanyahu memberi amaran bahawa, "Serangan seperti ini bukan sahaja mengancam Israel tetapi juga mengancam seluruh dunia. Kita telah belajar sesuatu daripada sejarah: Serangan liar yang bermula terhadap orang Yahudi, tidak pernah berakhir dengan orang Yahudi. Pada akhirnya, ia merebak ke seluruh masyarakat, dan berlalu dari negara ke negara sehingga ia membakar seluruh umat manusia. Oleh itu, saya menjangkakan dan menuntut agar setiap kerajaan yang bertanggungjawab mengambil tindakan yang kuat, bertenaga, jelas dan segera."Menambah kepada kemarahan terhadap pihak berkuasa Belanda, pemimpin Party for Freedom, mengecam pemimpin di Amsterdam kerana gagal menangkap pelaku.Menulis di X semalam, dia berkata, "Saya tidak percaya. Polis Amsterdam baru sahaja mengesahkan bahawa TIADA SIAPA yang ditangkap semasa pemburuan Yahudi Islam di Amsterdam pada malam Khamis. Semua penangkapan telah dibuat sebelum dan semasa perlawanan bola sepak dan BUKAN semasa pogrom."Ahli politik Belanda itu mendesak agar Datuk Bandar Amsterdam yang berhaluan kiri, Femke Halsema, meletak jawatan dengan serta-merta.Halsema, yang berasal dari parti Hijau Belanda, menyatakan keganasan itu sebagai "letusan antisemitisme yang kita harap tidak akan pernah kita lihat lagi di Amsterdam," menurut The Associated Press.Sementara itu, maklumat baharu telah muncul mengenai serangan antisemitik yang sangat teratur terhadap orang Yahudi di sebuah bandar di mana kolaborator Nazi secara terkenal meninggalkan , yang sedang bersembunyi, kepada Nazi semasa Perang Dunia Kedua.The Holland Casino di Amsterdam melaporkan bahawa selepas orang Israel melarikan diri ke kasino untuk berlindung, seorang pengawal keselamatan yang bekerja untuk kasino "memang telah menghantar mesej dalam kumpulan aplikasi" yang bertujuan untuk mencederakan orang Israel.Menurut kenyataan Holland Casino, "Tindakan segera telah diambil, dan majikan telah dimaklumkan bahawa individu ini tidak lagi dialu-alukan di Holland Casino. Pekerja Holland Casino atau pekerja syarikat yang diupah oleh Holland Casino mesti mengutamakan kepentingan Holland Casino, tetamu dan kakitangan kami. Ini tidak berlaku dalam kes ini. Lebih-lebih lagi, tidak ada tempat dalam Holland Casino untuk sebarang bentuk keganasan, diskriminasi atau antisemitisme."Agensi berita Israel TPS-IL melaporkan bahawa Rabbi dan sukarelawan dari di Amsterdam dan seorang lelaki Druze Israel telah memainkan peranan dalam membantu mangsa."Malam sebelum perlawanan, berlaku pergaduhan antara peminat Israel dan penduduk tempatan Arab. Jadi apabila kami mula mendengar berita tentang konfrontasi selepas perlawanan, kami pada mulanya tidak menyedari skop apa yang berlaku," kata Rabbi Dovi Pinkovitch, ketua Chabad House di pusat Amsterdam, kepada TPS-IL.Rabbi itu menggerakkan orang Yahudi tempatan dan orang Israel yang tinggal di Amsterdam untuk membantu orang Israel yang terperangkap di jalanan, membawa mereka dengan selamat ke hotel. "Terdapat kes di mana teksi tempatan membawa orang Israel ke arah pusat pertempuran bukannya membawa mereka ke tempat selamat, jadi kami faham bahawa kami perlu membantu. Sukarelawan, dengan kereta mereka sendiri, bekerja sepanjang malam untuk membawa ratusan orang Israel ke hotel."Seorang Druze Israel bernama Melchem Assad memberikan amaran awal yang penting kepada orang Israel mengenai serangan ganas yang berlaku. Semasa dia turun dari kereta api dalam perjalanan dari permainan ke hotel, dia melihat sekumpulan lelaki bercakap bahasa Arab tentang memukul mereka yang memakai selendang biru dan bercakap bahasa Ibrani. Jadi dia kembali ke stesen kereta api dan mengarahkan kumpulan orang Israel yang tiba untuk menanggalkan simbol Maccabi Tel Aviv, bersurai dan tidak bercakap bahasa Ibrani.Assad memberitahu TPS-IL bahawa menurut anggarannya, dia berjaya membantu sekurang-kurangnya seratus lima puluh orang Israel. "Saya mempunyai seorang anak lelaki di rumah dan jantung saya berdegup kencang ketika saya menghampiri kumpulan itu. Tetapi saya seorang Israel, dan saya tahu bahawa saya tidak perlu melakukan apa-apa selain membantu jika saya boleh."Menurut , Raja Willem-Alexander dari Belanda memberitahu presiden Israel dalam bacaan bahawa "Kami telah mengecewakan komuniti Yahudi Belanda semasa Perang Dunia Kedua, dan malam tadi kami sekali lagi mengecewakan."Penduduk Amsterdam adalah kira-kira 920,000 orang, dengan kira-kira 20,000 orang Yahudi. Sebelum Holocaust, 80,000 orang Yahudi tinggal di Amsterdam. Sebanyak 40,000 orang Yahudi tinggal di Belanda. Terdapat kira-kira satu juta Muslim di negara Eropah utara itu, dan 90,000 Muslim tinggal di Amsterdam.Wim Kortenoeven, bekas ahli parlimen Belanda dalam parti Wilders dan pakar memberitahu Digital bahawa "Pasukan polis Belanda telah diislamkan sehingga polis Muslim sekarang merasa yakin untuk menolak untuk melindungi institusi Yahudi atas sebab 'kesedaran'," dakwanya.Menggema laporan dalam Jerusalem Post pada bulan Oktober yang memetik dua pegawai polis Yahudi, Kortenoeven menyatakan, "Hanya pada bulan lepas perkara ini terbongkar dengan polis Yahudi di Amsterdam membongkar rahsia tentang itu, memberi amaran dalam media bahawa sasaran Yahudi yang terancam oleh serangan pengganas mungkin tidak dilindungi. Mereka terbukti betul pada hujung minggu ini apabila lebih daripada seribu polis tambahan tidak bersedia untuk melindungi bola sepak Israel Yahudi secara berkesan yang diserang oleh orang ramai Muslim."Kortenoeven, yang kini tinggal di Israel, menambah bahawa "Pasukan yang besar sebegini hanya boleh menjadi tidak berkesan secara sengaja. Saksi dan mangsa juga memberi keterangan bahawa polis kekal pasif berdepan dengan penyerang Muslim. Tiada penangkapan dilakukan. Penangkapan yang dilakukan pada hujung minggu ini tidak melibatkan orang Arab yang menyerang orang Yahudi. Sementara itu, pihak berkuasa enggan mengenal pasti orang ramai Muslim dan pasukan yang menyerang dengan betul, memanggil mereka 'budak-budak yang menunggang skuter.’"Halsema enggan menyatakan dalam sidang akhbar pada hari Jumaat bahawa suspek yang didakwa adalah Muslim dan berasal dari Maghribi, kata pengkritik Islamisme Belanda. Pejabat Datuk Bandar menyatakan dalam siaran akhbar bahawa suspek hanyalah "remaja yang menunggang skuter," sebagai rujukan kepada kaedah pengangkutan bandar yang popular yang digunakan oleh pemuda Arab Belanda.Pada hari Ahad, Digital menghubungi jabatan polis Amsterdam untuk mendapatkan komen.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Gunung Lewotobi Laki Laki di Indonesia melepaskan lajur-lajur panas yang menjulang tinggi Berita

Gunung Lewotobi Laki Laki di Indonesia melepaskan lajur-lajur panas yang menjulang tinggi

(SeaPRwire) - Gunung Lewotobi Laki Laki di Indonesia memuntahkan lajur-lajur abu panas yang menjulang tinggi ke udara pada hari Sabtu, beberapa hari setelah letusan yang menewaskan sembilan orang dan melukai puluhan lainnya.Aktiviti di gunung berapi di pulau terpencil Flores, di wilayah Nusa Tenggara Timur, telah meningkat sejak letusan awal pada hari Isnin. Pada hari Khamis, pihak berkuasa telah meluaskan zon bahaya apabila gunung berapi itu meletus sekali lagi.Aktiviti pada hari Jumaat menyaksikan lajur abu terbesar setakat ini yang direkodkan pada ketinggian 6.2 batu, kata Hadi Wijaya, ketua Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi, dalam sidang akhbar.Wijaya berkata bahan-bahan gunung berapi, termasuk batu-batu yang membara, lahar, dan serpihan kerikil dan abu panas yang sebesar ibu jari, telah dikeluarkan sehingga 5 batu dari kawah pada hari Jumaat.Tiada kematian yang dilaporkan akibat letusan terkini apabila gunung berapi setinggi 5,197 kaki itu melepaskan lajur-lajur abu yang mengepul sekurang-kurangnya tiga kali pada hari Sabtu, naik sehingga 5.6 batu, kata agensi pemantauan gunung berapi.Pihak berkuasa telah meningkatkan tahap amaran Lewotobi Laki Laki ke tahap tertinggi sejak Isnin, dan meluaskan zon bahaya pada hari Khamis kepada radius 5 batu di sebelah barat laut dan barat daya lereng gunung."Kami masih menilai sejauh mana radius (zon bahaya) perlu diperluaskan," kata Wijaya. Awan abu panas "kini merebak ke semua arah."Aktiviti gunung berapi itu telah merosakkan sekolah dan beribu-ribu rumah dan bangunan, termasuk biara, gereja dan seminari di pulau yang majoritinya beragama Katolik.Pakar mendapati kawah yang ditinggalkan oleh batu-batu yang jatuh akibat letusan itu berukuran sehingga 43 kaki lebar dan 16 kaki dalam.Pihak berkuasa telah memberi amaran kepada beribu-ribu penduduk yang telah melarikan diri dari kawasan itu supaya tidak pulang ke rumah, kerana mereka bercadang untuk mengungsikan kira-kira 16,000 penduduk keluar dari zon bahaya. Siri letusan sepanjang minggu ini telah pun menjejaskan lebih daripada 10,000 orang di 14 kampung, dengan lebih daripada separuh daripada mereka berpindah ke tempat perlindungan kecemasan sementara.Sebanyak 2,384 buah rumah dan kemudahan awam telah rosak atau runtuh selepas berton-ton bahan gunung berapi menghentam bangunan-bangunan tersebut, kata Kanesius Didimus, ketua agensi pengurusan bencana tempatan. Ia juga telah memusnahkan jalan utama yang menghubungkan daerah Flores Timur di mana gunung berapi itu terletak kepada daerah Larantuka berdekatan.Pasukan penyelamat, polis dan tentera telah mencari kawasan yang musnah untuk memastikan semua penduduk telah dipindahkan keluar dari zon bahaya. Bekalan logistik dan bantuan telah diberikan kepada kira-kira 10,700 orang yang kehilangan tempat tinggal di lapan tapak pemindahan setakat hari Sabtu.Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Kebangsaan berkata penduduk kampung yang paling teruk terjejas akan dipindahkan dalam tempoh enam bulan, dan setiap keluarga yang menunggu untuk ditempatkan semula akan diberi pampasan 500,000 rupiah ($32) sebulan.Kira-kira 6,500 orang telah dipindahkan pada Januari selepas Gunung Lewotobi Laki Laki mula meletus, memuntahkan awan tebal dan memaksa kerajaan untuk menutup Lapangan Terbang Fransiskus Xaverius Seda di pulau itu. Tiada kematian atau kerosakan besar yang dilaporkan, tetapi lapangan terbang itu kekal ditutup akibat aktiviti seismik.Tiga lapangan terbang lain di daerah berdekatan Ende, Larantuka dan Bajawa telah ditutup sejak Isnin selepas Navigasi Udara Indonesia mengeluarkan amaran keselamatan akibat abu gunung berapi.Lewotobi Laki Laki adalah salah satu daripada dua gunung berapi stratovolcano di daerah Flores Timur di wilayah Nusa Tenggara Timur, yang dikenali secara tempatan sebagai gunung berapi suami isteri. "Laki laki" bermaksud lelaki, manakala pasangannya ialah Lewotobi Perempuan, atau perempuan. Ia merupakan salah satu daripada 120 gunung berapi aktif , sebuah kepulauan yang dihuni oleh 280 juta orang. Negara ini mudah mengalami gempa bumi, tanah runtuh dan aktiviti gunung berapi kerana ia terletak di sepanjang "Lingkaran Api," satu siri garis patahan seismik berbentuk tapal kuda di sekitar Lautan Pasifik.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

(SeaPRwire) - menolak laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Kehakiman pada hari Jumaat yang menyatakan bahawa ia telah menghalang satu plot Iran untuk membunuh Presiden terpilih Donald Trump.Satu aduan jenayah yang difailkan di mahkamah persekutuan Bandar Raya New York menyatakan bahawa seorang pegawai yang tidak dinamakan dalam Kor Pengawal Revolusi Islam Iran telah memberitahu Farhad Shakeri, 51, dari Iran, untuk "fokus pada pengawasan, dan, akhirnya, pembunuhan, bekas Presiden Amerika Syarikat, "Shakeri telah memberitahu penguatkuasaan undang-undang bahawa dia telah ditugaskan pada 7 Oktober 2024, untuk menyediakan pelan untuk membunuh Presiden terpilih Donald J. Trump," tambahnya.Pada hari Sabtu, jurucakap Esmaeil Baghaei "menolak secara mutlak tuduhan bahawa Iran terlibat dalam percubaan untuk membunuh bekas dan semasa pegawai AS," menurut kementerian luar. Baghaei, yang menggambarkan laporan itu sebagai "sama sekali tidak berasas dan ditolak," berkata Iran telah dituduh dalam senario serupa pada masa lalu yang telah "ditolak tegas dan terbukti palsu."Beliau berkata bahawa mengulangi jenis tuntutan ini "adalah konspirasi jahat yang diatur oleh bulatan Zionis dan anti-Iran, yang bertujuan untuk lebih menyulitkan Baghaei menyimpulkan dengan berkata Iran "tetap komited" untuk menggunakan "semua cara yang sah dan sah" di peringkat domestik dan antarabangsa untuk "memulihkan hak-hak bangsa Iran."Shakeri, yang masih bebas dan dipercayai tinggal di Iran, "berhijrah ke Amerika Syarikat sebagai kanak-kanak dan dihantar pulang pada atau sekitar tahun 2008 selepas menjalani hukuman penjara selama 14 tahun atas sabitan rompakan," menurut DOJ.Shakeri juga dituduh telah menugaskan dua lelaki New York, Carlisle Rivera, 49, dan Jonathon Loadholt, 36, untuk memantau dan membunuh seorang Amerika keturunan Iran — yang "adalah pengkritik vokal rejim Iran" — dengan bayaran $100,000. Orang itu, yang mengenal pasti dirinya sebagai wartawan Masih Alinejad, tinggal di Amerika dan juga telah laporan DOJ itu menyatakan.TONTON: MASIH ALINEJAD: SAYA TIDAK LAYAK UNTUK DI IKUTI OLEH PEMBUNUH"Kami tidak akan bertolak ansur dengan percubaan rejim Iran untuk membahayakan rakyat Amerika dan keselamatan negara Amerika," kata Peguam Negara Merrick Garland dalam satu kenyataan.Shakeri, Rivera dan Loadholt menghadapi tuduhan pembunuhan atas upah, konspirasi untuk melakukan pembunuhan atas upah dan konspirasi pengubahan wang haram, yang membawa hukuman maksimum 10 hingga 20 tahun penjara.

COP29 Climate Change Conference Must Address Acute Challenges of Developing Countries Such as Bangladesh – Summit Power International Limited ACN Newswire

COP29 Climate Change Conference Must Address Acute Challenges of Developing Countries Such as Bangladesh – Summit Power International Limited

Dhaka, Bangladesh, Nov 9, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The U.N. Climate Change Conference next week needs to urgently address major gaps in funding and technology and adopt fresh approaches to meet the challenges of developing countries with vulnerable communities such as Bangladesh, Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”), the country’s largest private sector power generation company, said today.Singapore-headquartered SPIL, the leading foreign direct investor in Bangladesh’s power sector, said it hoped the widely anticipated COP29 Climate Change Conference starting 11 November in Azerbaijan will lead to an actionable agenda that can balance global net zero targets with the needs of poorer countries seeking to eradicate poverty and create jobs on an accelerated scale.SPIL operates 18 power plants with a combined capacity of 2,255 MW or approximately 17% of the total installed private power generation capacity in the country of 173 million people. As a responsible company with a strong track record of providing energy and power to Bangladesh, SPIL is acutely aware of the international initiatives to de-carbonise.At COP21 in 2015, 196 countries signed the Paris Agreement with collective commitments to limit global warming. However, subsequent global financing initiatives have been deadlocked. Among the key initiatives of COP29 is a New Collective Quantified Goal to deliver substantive climate financing to regions that need it most.Beyond the pledges, global climate goals must also take into consideration challenges unique to each country, especially the lesser developed, said SPIL. Prior to COP29, SPIL had outlined its internal Climate Action Plan to support Bangladesh’s stated goal (declared at the COP26 in Glasgow in 2021) to achieve up to 40% of clean energy use in its power generation mix by 2041.“Both the national and SPIL’s own de-carbonisation targets have to be viewed against the backdrop of the pandemic and subsequent supply chain disruptions as well as the conflict in Ukraine which drove up prices of fossil fuels. Bangladesh, which has to contend with cyclones and flooding on a regular basis, has felt the impact of such disruptions more acutely than most other countries.“We hope COP29 – whose leaders have promised engagement, ambition, and action – will address decisively real-world issues from the perspective of developing nations and responsible corporates involved in the energy eco-system, such as SPIL. We look forward to holistic approaches that avoid a one-size-fits-all mindset,” SPIL said.SPIL’s Founder and Chairman, Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan, a Singapore citizen, said: “We hope COP29 adopts approaches fairly and equitably to address the social and economic impact, particularly for vulnerable communities and workers in fossil fuel industries in developing countries. A just energy transition must promote circular economy principles that benefit local populations to ensure resilience.Second, international organisations, governments, and corporations must provide funding and technology to support the energy transition. For developing countries such as Bangladesh, such approaches must combine development finance and foreign direct investments.Third, different regions will have different timelines to progress towards net zero. For the near term, Bangladesh’s power sector – which has been facing issues of imbalance of supply and demand and delays in payments – needs to reduce dependence on coal or heavy fuel oil and increase usage of natural gas which is less carbon-intensive, even as it pursues initiatives in renewable energy.”As part of its Climate Action Plan, SPIL has committed not to develop new fuel-fired power plants in Bangladesh. It will also reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 10% by 2030 as compared to its 2021 baseline and plans to derive 40% of its energy generation portfolio from clean energy sources by 2040. SPIL has also formed a Sustainability Task Force under the leadership of the CEO.While recognising geographical limitations in Bangladesh for large-scale solar or wind farms, SPIL has outlined plans to invest or obtain international financial support for up to USD 3 billion in renewable energy projects in the country.About Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”)SPIL is the largest Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Bangladesh, reflecting 17% of the country's total private installed capacity and 7% of the country’s total installed capacity. SPIL owns and operates a total of 18 power plants with a combined generation capacity of 2,255MW. It also operates Bangladesh’s second Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) and LNG import terminal with daily regasification capacity of 500 million cubic feet.SPIL is a privately-held Singapore-registered company that is 78%-owned by the family of Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan. In 2016 SPIL acquired Bangladesh-registered Summit Corporation Ltd (SCL) in a transaction that was financed primarily by International Finance Corporation, the World Bank’s private sector arm. SCL holds various infrastructure assets in Bangladesh. In 2019, JERA Co., Inc., Japan’s largest power generation company, acquired a 22%-stake in SPIL and remains its second largest shareholder to date.Learn more at: www.summitpowerinternational.com Media ContactWeR1 Consultants Pte LtdWhatsApp (Text): (+65) 9748 0688Email: summit@wer1.net Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Trump dan penasihatnya secara peribadi telah menyampaikan lebih banyak sokongan daripada yang dicadangkan oleh kempen.Panggilan telefon itu dijangka menjadi yang pertama daripada banyak panggilan antara pasukan Trump dan penasihat Zelenskyy kerana kedua-dua pihak menavigasi penglibatan Amerika dalam konflik yang sedang berlaku.Musk dilaporkan juga menyertai panggilan baru-baru ini antara Trump dan Presiden Turki Erdoğan, menurut laporan dari Axios.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Seamless Shopping for K-Culture Lovers: Bringko Expands Cross-Border Services with New Free Shipping Promotion

SEOUL, S.KOREA, Nov 9, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Bringko, Korea's signature cross-border e-commerce platform, provides a service where global consumers can quickly, conveniently, and economically purchase Korean products - just as its name suggests - 'Bring Korea'. Bringko has positioned itself as an integral shopping platform among overseas Koreans and foreigners who need diverse Korean products such as K-beauty, K-food, and K-pop.Through its patented and self-owned server system, Bringko allows its clients to add products from Approximately 200 Korean-renowned online shopping malls to virtual carts. Bringko's system then guides the products to be conveniently purchased through major global credit cards or PayPal. When all the ordered products arrive at Bringko's logistics center, they are packaged in bulk through global courier services such as FedEx and UPS for quick delivery overseas. Such a convenient process has positioned Bringko as Korea's cross-border e-commerce market leader for the last four years.While some Korean products can be purchased overseas from offline markets, group purchases, or online channels, it is difficult to encounter up-to-date products in time. Since it takes a long time for Korean products to enter overseas offline markets, they are likely to be outdated by the time they reach the sales aisles. On the other hand, Bringko is the only platform where real-time purchases of recent Korean products on OTT channels or K-pop content are available, thus proving its charm to many trend-sensitive consumers.Another advantage of Bringko is that it provides up-to-date products, steady sellers, and popular products scarce outside of Korea at a reasonable price. To enable such service, Bringko has been offering major products such as K-beauty products, health products, quilts, underwear, food, etc at cheap prices for foreign consumers by coalescing with diverse brands. In particular, Bringko enables clients to enjoy shopping without the burden of overseas shipping costs through their 'free overseas shipping' promotion.Bringko's differentiated service provides more accessibility to foreign consumers and plans to offer recent Korean trends accompanied by the global K-culture fad to more global clients in real-time.Media contactBringko Inc.Jiwon GoWebsite: https://Bringko.com/pc/ Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Israel hantar pesawat evakuasi ke Amsterdam selepas serangan ‘mengejutkan’ terhadap peminat bola sepak Israel

(SeaPRwire) - Perdana Menteri Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu pada hari Jumaat meminta rakan sejawatnya di Belanda untuk menyediakan lebih banyak keselamatan untuk rakyat Israel selepas peminat pasukan bola sepak diserang oleh penunjuk perasaan anti-Israel pada hari Khamis.Syarikat penerbangan udara Israel, El Al menghantar pesawat ke Amsterdam pada Shabbat untuk mengevakuasi rakyat Israel, selepas Angkatan Pertahanan Israel mengatakan ia menarik balik rancangan untuk "segera mengerahkan misi penyelamat" ke bandar itu.Mereka menyatakan sehingga 20 warganya cedera manakala tujuh lagi masih tidak dapat dihubungi sejak serangan itu."Polis telah melancarkan siasatan besar-besaran mengenai pelbagai insiden ganas. Setakat ini, diketahui bahawa lima orang telah dibawa ke hospital dan 62 individu telah ditangkap," kata Polis Amsterdam dalam satu kenyataan.Bercakap dengan Perdana Menteri Belanda, Dick Schoof selepas keganasan itu, dia mengambil serius "serangan yang dirancang". Dia menggesa Schoof untuk meningkatkan keselamatan untuk rakyat Israel di negara itu. Israel juga telah menambah lebih banyak talian telefon di kedutaan dan di bilik situasi Kementerian Luar Negeri.Presiden Israel, Isaac Herzog menganggap serangan pada hari Khamis sebagai perkara paling membimbangkan yang berlaku kepada orang Yahudi sejak serangan pengganas Hamas di selatan Israel pada 7 Oktober 2023."Kami terbangun pagi ini dengan imej dan video yang mengejutkan yang sejak 7 Oktober, kami berharap tidak akan pernah melihat lagi: pogrom antisemitik yang sedang berlaku terhadap peminat Maccabi Tel Aviv dan rakyat Israel di tengah-tengah Amsterdam, Belanda," tulis Herzog di X."Ini adalah insiden serius, tanda amaran bagi mana-mana negara yang ingin menegakkan nilai-nilai kebebasan." Terdapat laporan bahawa sesetengah peminat telah menyanyikan slogan anti-Arab sebelum perlawanan. Dalam satu video media sosial yang telah disahkan, peminat Maccabi yang dalam perjalanan dilihat menyalakan suar dan menyanyikan "Ole, ole, biarkan IDF menang, kita akan f--k orang Arab," dalam rujukan yang jelas kepada Angkatan Pertahanan Israel.Kementerian Luar Negeri Palestin mengatakan ia "mengutuk dengan keras slogan-slogan anti-Arab dan tindakan bermusuhan yang dilakukan oleh penyokong kelab bola sepak Israel di Amsterdam."Tindakan ini termasuk pencabulan dan penyingkiran bendera Palestin dari tapak simbolik yang menandakan solidariti dengan hak-hak Palestin dan penentangan terhadap penjajahan dan keganasan sistematik yang sedang berlaku di Gaza," tambahnya.Perdana Menteri Belanda pada hari Jumaat menyifatkan "antisemitik" itu sebagai "tidak boleh diterima" dan berkata "pelaku akan dijejak dan didakwa".Video di media sosial menunjukkan beberapa pergaduhan berlaku di jalan-jalan di luar stadium di mana Maccabi Tel Aviv FC bermain menentang Ajax. Beberapa hari sebelumnya, media Sepanyol melaporkan akan mengadakan protes di luar stadium untuk menyasarkan kelab bola sepak Israel dan peminatnya."Kita telah menjadi Gaza Eropah," kata pemimpin politik Belanda yang populis, Geert Wilders dari Parti Kebebasan anti-imigrasi Muslim di Belanda selepas serangan itu."Orang Islam dengan bendera Palestin memburu orang Yahudi. Saya TIDAK akan menerimanya. TIDAK PERNAH," tulisnya di X. "Pihak berkuasa akan bertanggungjawab atas kegagalan mereka melindungi rakyat Israel. Tidak akan pernah lagi."IDF telah melarang tentera dari terbang ke Amsterdam, tetapi "permintaan luar biasa akan dipertimbangkan secara individu," kata tentera itu.'

Apakah Makna Kemenangan Trump bagi Amerika Syarikat di Tengah Perang Israel dan Hamas? Berita

Apakah Makna Kemenangan Trump bagi Amerika Syarikat di Tengah Perang Israel dan Hamas?

(SeaPRwire) - JERUSALEM — Kemenangan Presiden terpilih Donald Trump pada pagi Rabu kemungkinan akan membawa kepada dasar Timur Tengah Amerika Syarikat yang baharu yang akan memberi kesan dramatik terhadap perang Israel menentang gerakan pengganas yang disokong Iran, Hamas dan Hizbullah, menurut pakar. Digital telah menghubungi pakar terkemuka Amerika Syarikat dan Israel mengenai Timur Tengah untuk mendapatkan pandangan mereka mengenai makna penggal kedua Trump terhadap ketidakstabilan dan peperangan yang sedang berlaku di rantau ini. Rejim Iran secara agresif menyokong Hamas dan Hizbullah dalam peperangan mereka menentang negara Yahudi selama lebih setahun. Tehran juga melancarkan dua serangan dron dan peluru berpandu udara ke atas negara Yahudi pada tahun 2024.Pakar Timur Tengah Amerika Syarikat-Israel Caroline Glick, yang berkhidmat sebagai penasihat kepada Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, memberitahu Digital, "Dasar Trump untuk menghormati hak istimewa kerajaan Israel yang dipilih secara demokratik akan membolehkan Perdana Menteri Netanyahu dan menterinya untuk meneruskan strategi mereka untuk mencapai kemenangan ke atas Iran dan proksinya sehingga tamat. Israel tidak mencari penglibatan langsung Amerika Syarikat dalam peperangan itu. Sebaliknya, ia berharap Amerika Syarikat akan memberi sokongan diplomatik dan sokongan lain untuk membolehkannya mencapai kemenangan menentang musuh yang sama kepada Amerika Syarikat dan Israel."Glick menambah, "Doktrin Trump untuk meminimumkan penglibatan Amerika Syarikat di Timur Tengah adalah berdasarkan sokongan kepada sekutu Amerika, terutama Israel, dalam usaha mereka untuk mengalahkan musuh mereka, yang juga musuh Amerika. Sokongan Trump untuk kemenangan Israel akan membolehkan presiden untuk mengetuai tempoh pasca perang yang aman dan aman yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya, yang hanya mungkin berlaku selepas kemenangan Israel."Pentadbiran Biden telah menghadapi kritikan kerana peperangan menentang Hamas selepas pergerakan jihad itu membunuh hampir 1,200 orang pada , termasuk lebih daripada 40 orang Amerika. Biden dilaporkan menahan persenjataan penting pada satu ketika semasa Israel terlibat dalam peperangan kewujudannya.Glick telah menjadi pengkritik yang tajam terhadap pentadbiran Biden-Harris dan berkata bahawa "Iran terus mengejar senjata nuklear dan melancarkan peperangan tujuh muka menentang Israel. Amerika Syarikat telah melindungi rejim Hamas di Gaza dan kawalan Hizbullah terhadap Lubnan."Briged Jeneral Israel yang bersara, Amir Avivi, pengasas Forum Pertahanan dan Keselamatan Israel, memberitahu Digital bahawa "Kemenangan Presiden Trump menawarkan peluang besar untuk Timur Tengah untuk membongkar paksi Syiah [Republik Islam Iran dan Hizbullah di Lubnan] dan memulihkan keselamatan ke Timur Tengah dengan menandatangani perjanjian damai dan mewujudkan perikatan Barat-Israel-Sunni yang akan meluas sehingga ke Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan dan Oman."Beliau menambah bahawa keamanan dan kemakmuran di Timur Tengah "memerlukan penanganan . Harapan Israel adalah untuk melihat Amerika Syarikat mengetuai pakatan yang akan menangani secara ketenteraan tapak nuklear Iran dan mungkin juga menjatuhkan rejim dan membongkar paksi Syiah yang mengancam semua negara sederhana di Timur Tengah."Avivi berkata Israel telah menyediakan pentas dengan memusnahkan Hamas dan berada di ambang memusnahkan Hizbullah.David Wurmser, bekas penasihat kanan untuk pencegahan proliferasi dan strategi Timur Tengah untuk bekas Naib Presiden Dick Cheney, memberitahu Digital, "Pilihan raya Trump akan memberi kesan besar terhadap dasar Timur Tengah. Iran dan proksinya akan merasa terancam dengan mendalam, tetapi mereka tidak akan berputus asa. Mereka tidak boleh; ini adalah soal kelangsungan hidup rejim bagi Iran.""Sebarang harapan Israel yang dipegang oleh sesetengah orang di Israel bahawa Amerika Syarikat sekarang akan mengambil alih dan menyertai Israel dalam berperang dalam peperangan ini, terutama Iran sendiri, adalah harapan palsu," kata Wurmser. "Trump akan membiarkan Israel melakukan apa yang perlu dilakukan dan melindunginya tanpa syarat atau sekatan untuk melakukan itu, tetapi ia tidak akan melakukannya untuk Israel.""Satu lagi bidang di mana akan terdapat input Amerika yang besar ialah pembentukan struktur keamanan Timur Tengah yang memperluaskan Perjanjian Abraham tanpa menekan Arab Saudi atau yang lain untuk menangani isu Palestin," katanya.Kejayaan pertama Trump di Timur Tengah ialah antara Israel dan Emiriah Arab Bersatu, Bahrain, Maghribi dan Sudan. Pakar Timur Tengah berkata bahawa sekiranya Trump tidak kalah kepada Biden dalam pilihan raya 2020, dia mungkin dapat memperoleh perjanjian pengiktirafan diplomatik yang besar antara Arab Saudi dan negara Yahudi.Menurut Wurmser, "Pentadbiran yang akan datang akan mewakili peralihan paradigma di mana Israel yang kuat dan Iran yang lemah, terkepung dan mundur akan memajukan perikatan serantau yang mencabar Iran dan China dan meninggalkan penubuhan Washington sebagai prinsip panduan dasar."Kerajaan Islamis ketua kuat Turki, Presiden Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, kemungkinan juga akan menghadapi tentangan daripada Trump. Erdoğan, yang menyokong entiti pengganas yang ditetapkan oleh Amerika Syarikat, Hamas, pada bulan Julai untuk melindungi rakyat Palestin. Erdoğan juga menyediakan sokongan material untuk pengganas Hamas yang tinggal di Turki.Efrat Aviv, seorang profesor di Jabatan Sejarah Umum di Universiti Bar-Ilan di Israel dan pakar terkemuka mengenai Turki, memberitahu Digital bahawa "Pendirian Trump yang pro-Israel bercanggah dengan sokongan Erdoğan terhadap Hamas, yang dilihat oleh Turki sebagai pejuang kemerdekaan. Keterlibatan Turki yang didakwa dalam memudahkan aktiviti Hamas, termasuk memberi mereka pasport dan membantu pengubahan wang haram, menjadikan hubungan lebih rumit.""Turki mendapati kelegaan dalam kepresidenan Trump, berbanding dengan Biden, yang mengkritik kemerosotan demokrasi Erdoğan, terutama mengecualikan Turki daripada Sidang Kemuncak Demokrasi 2021," tambah Aviv. "Di bawah Trump, dibebaskan dari tahanan Turki. Bagaimanapun, walaupun pendirian Trump yang umumnya baik, ketegangan berterusan. Trump mengenakan sekatan terhadap Turki lima kali semasa pemerintahannya, dan isu utama, seperti sokongan Amerika Syarikat terhadap kumpulan Kurdish dan pembelian sistem pertahanan peluru berpandu S-400 Rusia oleh Turki, terus menjadi perbezaan.""Sama ada ini menandakan permulaan bab baharu atau jika ketegangan terus membayangi persahabatan peribadi mereka masih belum dapat dipastikan," jelas Aviv.Terdapat skeptis yang melihat Trump sebagai beralih kepada dasar yang akan memaksa Israel untuk mengakhiri perang secara pramatang untuk mencabut pengganas Hamas dari Jalur Gaza dan menghapuskan pengganas dan kemudahan Hizbullah di sempadan utaranya.Joel Rubin, bekas timbalan setiausaha bantuan negeri yang berkhidmat dalam pentadbiran Obama, memberitahu Digital, "Ini adalah persoalan terbuka mengenai bagaimana Trump 2.0 akan beroperasi di Timur Tengah. Tidak seperti Trump 1.0, dia mempunyai VP yang jauh lebih pengasingan dalam JD Vance, dan dia juga pada masa yang sama memberitahu Netanyahu untuk menyelesaikan peperangan di Gaza. Dan walaupun dia telah menyatakan minatnya dalam perjanjian dengan Iran mengenai program nuklearnya, dia mempunyai sejarah mengambil tindakan agresif terhadapnya, dan komunikasinya disasarkan oleh rejim semasa kempennya, yang mungkin mencetuskan ketidakpercayaan dan kecurigaan.""Tetapi asas-asasnya yang mahu memberi tumpuan kepada isu domestik adalah apa yang mungkin mendorong dasar awalnya, sementara dia berusaha untuk mengelakkan penglibatan antarabangsa," tambah Rubin. "Saya yakin bahawa jika Timur Tengah menyala untuk menimbulkan sakit kepala untuknya, terutama melalui peningkatan peperangan, dia akan berusaha untuk memadamkannya sambil tidak mempunyai agenda yang sangat bercita-cita tinggi untuk menyelesaikan cabaran lama antara Israel dan Palestin."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

ITC’s Final Decision Confirms Innoscience’s Customers Remain Unaffected by the Innoscience-EPC Patent Row

HONG KONG, Nov 8, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Innoscience Technology, a company founded to create a global energy ecosystem based on high-performance, low-cost, gallium-nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) power solutions, announced today that the U.S. International Trade Commission’s (“ITC”) November 7, 2024 final determination has confirmed the ability of Innoscience’s customers to import their products into U.S. remain unaffected by the ongoing patent dispute between Innoscience and Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (“EPC”).In May last year, EPC launched a lawsuit against Innoscience at the ITC, falsely alleging infringement of EPC’s ’508 and ’294 patents. Following an administrative law judge’s initial determination in the past July finding no infringement of claim 1 (the only asserted claim) of the ’508 patent, the latest ITC final determination once again affirmed no violation as to this patent—a huge success for Innoscience.The final determination, however, affirmed the part of the judge’s initial determination that found violation as to claims 2 and 3 the ’294 patent. The ITC hence has determined to issue a limited exclusion order prohibiting importation of certain accused Innoscience chips. Innoscience disagrees with and will appeal this ruling. This is at least because the ‘294 patent is invalid. Indeed, the U.S Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) instituted an inter partes review (“IPR”) challenging all claims of the ’294 patent under four different grounds and has agreed with Innoscience’s invalidity arguments. The ’294 IPR decision will issue in March 2025.Innoscience also notes it is established U.S. law that the limited exclusion order does not prohibit Innoscience’s customers from importing end products that use the accused chips. Moreover, since the final decision clarified the meaning of the claim term “compensated GaN layer,” which is at the center of the dispute surrounding the ’294 patent, it has provided clear guidance for Innoscience to design around the ’294 patent by avoiding use of the “compensated GaN layer.” Innoscience already has the design around in place and will release the new products soon. Accordingly, the EPC litigation shall have no impact on Innoscience’s customers. Moreover, Innoscience will continue to solve the dispute with EPC through appeals in court and invalidity challenges at the USPTO, and is confident that it will achieve a final complete victory.

It presents a rare opportunity to appreciate the exceptional craftsmanship of couture designers worldwide while positioning Hong Kong as a pivotal fashion hub and a cultural bridge between East and West, ultimately benefiting the local economy.A Tribute to Couture FashionCouture is an essential aspect of the dynamic fashion industry, embodying the core aspirations of designers—creativity, craftsmanship, and quality. These enduring values will be beautifully showcased at the event, reflecting the cultural backgrounds and artistic expressions of the designers. Chief Executive Mr. John Lee recently noted that "talent is the prime resource and driving force that boosts economic development and competitiveness," a sentiment that resonates deeply within the fashion community, where innovation drives new designs.Through "VIRTUOSE: The Artistry of Couture," the HKFDA aims to establish an international fashion exchange platform in Hong Kong. Four renowned international couture designers—Charles de Vilmorin from France, Mohamed Benchellal from the Netherlands, Cheney Chan from Mainland China, and Kay Kwok from Hong Kong—will share their insights and experiences within Hong Kong’s vibrant fashion landscape. They will highlight how the city’s advantages, including its status as a financial center, shipping hub, and innovation hotspot, create unique opportunities for growth and collaboration.With the total number of travelers in Hong Kong increasing by 64% year-on-year to 21 million in the first half of 2024, an anticipated 1.7 million participants are expected to attend the city’s mega events, contributing over HK$7.2 billion in spending, according to government data. “Hong Kong's domestic clothing exports also experienced a 28% growth in 2023 compared to 2022,” says Mr. Yeung. “We believe that events like VIRTUOSE are crucial in attracting global buyers and showcasing Hong Kong's unique position and talent on the world fashion stage. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we aim to reaffirm our presence in the industry and reimagine our future through haute couture, highlighting the exceptional talent of our designers and our city's strengths as a hub for creativity and finance.”The Intersection of Four Fashion Cultures“As an 'East-meets-West Centre for International Cultural Exchange,' Hong Kong plays a vital role in advancing the fashion design industry,” notes Mr. Yeung. The city's rich cultural environment allows local designers to draw inspiration from diverse influences, enhancing their creative output.The international designers will embody the cultural diversity that shapes their work, reflecting personal styles and the rich history of fashion. As Hong Kong positions itself as a talent hub, it showcases its appeal within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, a mega events capital, and a city known for its favorable tax regime and quality education and healthcare services.The HKFDA is committed to nurturing local talent by providing platforms for exposure and collaboration, empowering designers to thrive in a competitive landscape. "VIRTUOSE: The Artistry of Couture" will highlight the essence of fashion design through innovative forms and techniques, focusing on sustainable practices and intricate details.

The symposium was attended by over 6,000 participants from 101 countries. The event brought together representatives from business, the scientific and engineering communities, futurists, artists, and creative industry professionals. Among the participants were delegates from BRICS, SCO, and CIS countries, who took part in more than 80 activities focused on exploring and designing the future. The symposium served as a unique platform for the exchange of cutting-edge ideas and strategies, emphasizing a multi-vector, human-centric, and technologically progressive approach. In his welcoming speech, Sergey Kiriyenko, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Russia National Center, emphasized the importance of setting goals that go beyond current challenges and aiming for new breakthroughs: “Let me stress the main point – we must shape our future independently, based on a sovereign worldview, national culture, and firm commitment to moral and patriotic values. We dream of a sovereign and strong country and a fair world order where every person can realize their potential and be happy. The symposium is a contribution to this shared goal.” The discussions at the symposium covered four main areas: the future of humanity, technology, a multipolar world, and civilizations. Experts explored issues related to the post-information society, Russian futurism, artificial intelligence, and socio-economic trends. The ‘Future of Technology’ track focused on quantum technology, digital relations, and innovative approaches to energy. A significant event was the Museum Congress, dedicated to the role of museums in Creating the Future, moderated by Elizabeth Likhacheva, Director of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. Additionally, the ‘Heritage for the Future’ exhibition showcased works by young artists from six countries. Experimental formats included ‘Foresight of Worlds and Times’, which involved the exploration of science fiction and the development of future scenarios using artificial intelligence. The symposium concluded with a tour of Moscow and the ‘Message to the Future’ project, allowing participants to share their visions and dreams. The symposium was the first step in the work of the Russia National Center, established to showcase achievements and preserve the nation’s heritage.

Lebih daripada 6,000 peserta dari 101 negara menyertai Simposium Antarabangsa ‘Membentuk Masa Depan’

Pada 6 November, Simposium Antarabangsa "Membentuk Masa Depan" telah berakhir di Moscow, acara pertama yang diadakan di Pusat Nasional "Rusia," yang ditubuhkan melalui dekri Presiden Persekutuan Rusia, Vladimir Putin. Simposium ini dihadiri oleh lebih daripada 6,000 orang dari 101 negara. Simposium ini mengumpulkan wakil-wakil dari kerajaan, perniagaan, komuniti saintifik dan kejuruteraan, ahli futuristik, artis, dan profesional dalam industri kreatif. Antara peserta termasuk delegasi dari negara-negara BRICS, SCO, dan CIS, yang mengambil bahagian dalam lebih daripada 80 acara yang bertujuan meneroka dan merancang masa depan. Acara ini menjadi platform unik untuk pertukaran idea dan strategi termaju, menekankan pendekatan berbilang arah, berpusatkan manusia, dan maju dari segi teknologi. Idea-idea utama dari simposium ini akan menjadi asas untuk kerja masa depan Pusat Nasional "Rusia." Dalam ucapan alu-aluan beliau, Presiden Vladimir Putin menekankan kepentingan menetapkan matlamat yang melangkaui cabaran semasa dan berusaha ke arah kejayaan baharu: "Saya ingin menekankan perkara utama — kita mesti membentuk masa depan kita sendiri, berdasarkan pandangan dunia berdaulat, budaya nasional, dan komitmen kukuh terhadap nilai moral dan patriotik. Dengan cara ini, impian paling berani akan menjadi kenyataan. Rakyat kita telah membuktikannya berkali-kali sepanjang sejarah seribu tahun, membina negara yang hebat dan membuka ufuk baru bagi umat manusia." Timbalan Ketua Pentadbiran Presiden Rusia, Sergei Kiriyenko, yang juga Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Penganjur Pusat Nasional "Rusia," menekankan kepentingan acara ini: "Perpaduan rakyat ditentukan bukan hanya oleh tradisi tetapi juga oleh visi masa depan. Kami mengimpikan negara yang berdaulat dan kuat serta susunan dunia yang adil di mana setiap individu boleh mencapai potensi mereka dan bahagia. Simposium ini adalah sumbangan kepada matlamat bersama itu." Timbalan Perdana Menteri Pertama Rusia, Denis Manturov, menekankan pentingnya kerjasama antarabangsa: "Tiada negara yang mampu membangunkan keseluruhan spektrum teknologi masa depan secara bersendirian. Simposium ini adalah langkah penting untuk menyedari keperluan kerjasama dan meninggalkan proteksionisme serta persaingan tidak adil." Menteri Luar Negeri, Sergei Lavrov, menambah: "Pengalaman sejarah Rusia sepatutnya menjadi pemangkin kepada aktiviti kreatif. Pada masa-masa penting, rakyat kita sentiasa menemukan sumber untuk mencapai kejayaan besar, dan kami, sebagai diplomat, akan menjadi sokongan yang boleh dipercayai dalam proses ini." Perbincangan di simposium ini merangkumi empat bidang utama: masa depan manusia, teknologi, dunia berbilang kutub, dan tamadun. Para pakar meneliti isu-isu berkaitan masyarakat pasca-maklumat, futurisme Rusia, kecerdasan buatan, dan trend sosio-ekonomi. Dalam trek "Masa Depan Teknologi," teknologi kuantum, hubungan digital, dan pendekatan inovatif dalam tenaga dibincangkan. Satu acara penting ialah Kongres Muzium, yang menumpukan pada peranan muzium dalam membentuk masa depan, dipengerusikan oleh Elizabeth Likhacheva, Pengarah Muzium Seni Halus Negeri A.S. Pushkin. Selain itu, pameran "Warisan untuk Masa Depan" memaparkan karya-karya seniman muda dari enam negara. Format eksperimen termasuk "Ramalan Dunia dan Zaman," yang melibatkan penerokaan fiksyen sains dan pembangunan senario masa depan menggunakan kecerdasan buatan. Simposium ini berakhir dengan lawatan ke Moscow dan projek "Pesanan kepada Masa Depan," yang membolehkan peserta berkongsi visi dan impian mereka. Simposium ini adalah langkah pertama dalam kerja Pusat Nasional "Rusia," yang ditubuhkan untuk memaparkan pencapaian dan memelihara warisan negara, menyatukan usaha pihak berkuasa persekutuan dan korporat.
