Dozens Of Bali Flights Cancelled After Major Volcano Eruption
Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki spews smoke and volcanic ash as seen from Kawalelo village in East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia, June 17, 2025. REUTERS/Floriana Jijiana J. Tobin JAKARTA, June 18 (Bernama-dpa) – At least 32 flights to and from the Indonesian resort island of Bali were cancelled after Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki erupted, sending a massive ash cloud more than 11 kilometres into the sky, aviation and disaster officials said, according to the German news agency (dpa). The latest major eruption occurred at dusk on Tuesday in East Flores district, on the eastern Indonesian island of Flores, prompting evacuations of vulnerable residents – including infants and the elderly – in nearby villages. Authorities said the volcano spewed a thick, grey column of ash reaching an altitude of 11,584 metres above sea level, accompanied by flows of volcanic matter in multiple directions on the ground. bootstrap slideshow Although the ash plume did not reach Bali, airlines cancelled flights as a precaution, citing potential risks to aviation safety. "Based on data received as of 9.30 local time Wednesday, 17 outbound and 15 inbound flights at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali were cancelled," said Wahyudi, acting general manager of the airport operator Angkasa Pura. The affected outbound flights included 12 international routes – such as to Singapore, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney, Shanghai, Auckland, and Delhi – and five domestic routes, mainly to Labuan Bajo and Semarang, Wahyudi said. Arriving flights from those same cities were also cancelled. Airlines offered passengers options including full refunds, rescheduling, or rerouting, he said. At least 10 people were killed after the volcano erupted in November last year. Lewotobi Laki-Laki, which rises to 1,584 metres above sea level, is one of two volcanoes in the Lewotobi group, which has a history of intermittent eruptions. Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and has more than 120 active volcanoes, making it one of the most volcanically active countries in the world. -- BERNAMA-dpa BERNAMA provides up-to-date authentic and comprehensive news and information which are disseminated via BERNAMA Wires; BERNAMA TV on Astro 502, unifi TV 631 and MYTV 121 channels and BERNAMA Radio on FM93.9 (Klang Valley), FM107.5 (Johor Bahru), FM107.9 (Kota Kinabalu) and FM100.9 (Kuching) frequencies.

Melaka Teen Violence Underscores Urgent Need For School Mental Health Support
Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 (Bernama) -- A recent violent incident in Melaka involving a 17-year-old student, suspected of killing his mother and elder brother and seriously injuring his younger brother, has raised concerns and prompted calls for stronger mental health support for youth. Mental Health Promotion Advisory Council member Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said the heartbreaking case highlights gaps in the country's support systems, as initial reports indicate the incident stemmed from long-standing domestic tensions, including possible academic stress. 'Mental health struggles, especially among adolescents, are real. Depression, anxiety, emotional isolation and unprocessed anger can fester when left undetected,' he said in a statement today. Lee noted that school counsellors are often overstretched or unavailable, while parents are typically untrained to detect signs of distress. He added that many young people suppress their emotions for fear of judgment or punishment. He urged the Education Ministry to strengthen school counselling infrastructure by ensuring every school is staffed with trained professionals in adolescent psychology. He also proposed implementing emotional literacy programmes to help students cope, reflect and seek support when overwhelmed. Lee further called on the Health Ministry and the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry to work together to build accessible and non-stigmatised mental health services across both urban and rural areas. 'Mobile units, school-linked referral pathways and youth-friendly clinics should be scaled up,' he added. He also stressed the need for national campaigns to educate caregivers and teachers about emotional intelligence, respectful communication and recognising early warning signs. 'Let us be clear, violence is never acceptable. But silence and inaction, too, can be dangerous. If this tragedy becomes the catalyst for deeper conversations and decisive reforms around youth mental health, then perhaps we can prevent future loss before grief becomes the only language left,' he said. According to media reports, a 17-year-old student has been arrested in connection with the murder of his 51-year-old mother and 21-year-old brother at their home in Bukit Rambai, Melaka last Thursday. -- BERNAMA BERNAMA provides up-to-date authentic and comprehensive news and information which are disseminated via BERNAMA Wires; BERNAMA TV on Astro 502, unifi TV 631 and MYTV 121 channels and BERNAMA Radio on FM93.9 (Klang Valley), FM107.5 (Johor Bahru), FM107.9 (Kota Kinabalu) and FM100.9 (Kuching) frequencies.
