Muslims in Singapore to celebrate Aidiladha on June 7 as well, same as Malaysia
SINGAPORE, May 28 — Muslims in Singapore will celebrate Hari Raya Aidiladha on June 7, the country's mufti Dr Nazirudin Mohd Nasir announced yesterday.
He said according to astronomical calculations, the crescent moon was not visible above Singapore's horizon after sunset on the evening of Tuesday.
As such, May 28 will be the 30th and final day of the month of Zulkaedah.
'Therefore, the month of Zulhijjah 1446H will begin on Thursday (May 29). This means Hari Raya Aidiladha will fall on June 7,' he said in a statement.
Nazirudin urged Muslims to take this opportunity during the sacred days of this holy month to increase their worship and prayers for the safety of the Haj pilgrims and for all those who are oppressed, especially in Gaza, Palestine.
'Wishing all Muslims in Singapore a blessed arrival of the month of Zulhijjah and Aidiladha,' he added. — Bernama

Gaza rescuers say 30 killed by Israeli fire
Palestinians ride on a truck loaded with food and humanitarian aid from the World Food Programme. (AP pic) GAZA CITY : Gaza's civil defence agency said 30 people were killed by Israeli fire in the Palestinian territory on Wednesday, including 11 who were seeking aid. The war sparked by Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel has ravaged the Gaza Strip, with severe shortages of food, fuel and clean water. Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that 11 people were killed and more than 100 wounded 'after the occupation forces opened fire and launched several shells… at thousands of citizens' who had gathered to queue for food in central Gaza. In early March, Israel imposed a total aid blockade on Gaza amid a deadlock in truce negotiations, only partially easing restrictions in late May. Since then, chaotic scenes and a string of deadly shootings have occurred near areas where Palestinians have gathered in hope of receiving aid. The civil defence agency said another 19 people were killed in three Israeli strikes on Wednesday, which it said targeted houses and a tent for displaced people. When asked for comment by AFP, the Israeli military said it was 'looking into' the reports. Israeli restrictions on media in the Gaza Strip and difficulties in accessing some areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defence agency. The UN humanitarian office OCHA said on Monday that its partners 'continue to warn of the risk of famine in Gaza, amid catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity'. The civil defence agency reported that at least 53 people were killed on Tuesday, as they gathered near an aid centre in the southern city of Khan Yunis hoping to receive flour. After Israel eased its blockade, the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began distributing aid in late May, but its operations have been marred by chaotic scenes and dozens of deaths. In a statement on Tuesday, the organisation said that 'to date, not a single incident has occurred at or in the surrounding vicinity of GHF sites nor has an incident occurred during our operating hours.' UN agencies and major aid groups have refused to cooperate with the foundation over concerns it was designed to cater to Israeli military objectives. The Hamas attack which triggered the war resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, according to Israeli official figures. The Gaza health ministry said on Tuesday that 5,194 people have been killed since Israel resumed major operations in the territory on March 18, ending a two-month truce. The overall death toll in Gaza since the war broke out has reached 55,493 people, according to the health ministry.

Gerik bus crash survivor haunted by trauma
BESUT: The emotional toll from the Gerik bus crash weighs heavily on Nur Ain Najwa Mohd Ilias, 23, who survived the incident that killed 15 of her university mates on June 9. "I don't have the strength to look at news about the incident on social media," said the Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) student. She suffered a fractured left shoulder in the crash and is traumatised by the sight and sound of buses. The Arabic with Education student said she now only uses WhatsApp to communicate with family, friends and her lecturers at UPSI. "Whenever I hear the sound of a bus, I get anxious and try to calm myself by reciting istighfar," she said at her home in Kampung Gong Kemuntong. Nur Ain Najwa said she was semi-conscious at the time of the incident as she had fallen asleep after taking medication for a fever. "I regained consciousness only after the bus had overturned. "It was eerily silent, and my left shoulder was in excruciating pain. In my heart I said, 'Ya Allah, if You want to take my life, I am ready,' before losing consciousness again. "The next time I woke up, I was outside the bus, waiting for help." She said she had used part of her headscarf to support her injured arm before a passer-by gave her a piece of cloth. Her mother, Nani Hamid, 49, said Ain hadn't planned to take the bus that night, but decided to return to campus early and bought a ticket from another student. She added that Ain had initially planned to celebrate Hari Raya Aidiladha at her sister's home in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, but in the end both siblings decided to return to their family home in Kampung Gong Kemuntong.
