The number of Covid-19 cases crossed 14.26 million across Southeast Asia, with 25,443 new cases reported on Tuesday (December 7). New deaths are at 417, bringing accumulated Covid-19 deaths in Asean to 294,994.
International and local travellers for the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) by air and land, Langkawi International Travel Bubble (LITB) and One Stop Centre (OSC) for short-term business visitors will have to undergo Covid-19 test for six days after arriving in Malaysia.
Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the requirement would take effect on Thursday and was a move to strengthen the existing precautionary and control measures to prevent the transmission and spread of the Omicron variant in the country.
Meanwhile, Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City plans to provide third vaccine shots to 6.3 million people who have been fully vaccinated in an effort to boost their immunity against Covid-19 beginning on December 10.
As of December 5, more than 7.92 million people aged 18 and over in the city had received the first vaccine dose. Of the number, nearly 6.82 million people have received the second dose.
The United Arab Emirates announced Tuesday it would move its weekends to Saturday and Sunday at the start of the new year, in an effort to align with much of the rest of the world. The Gulf state has long observed a Friday to Saturday weekend.
The UAE is also implementing a 4½-day workweek, as the weekend will officially start on Friday afternoon, when many Muslims gather for Friday prayers.
The change will affect the public sector. Private companies can choose their work schedules.
“From an economic perspective, the new working week will better align the UAE with global markets, reflecting the country’s strategic status on the global economic map,” read the announcement published Tuesday by state news agency WAM. “It will ensure smooth financial, trade and economic transactions with countries that follow a Saturday/Sunday weekend, facilitating stronger international business links and opportunities for thousands of UAE-based and multinational companies.”
In a tweet, the government also said it will offer flexible work-from-home options on Fridays, and that Friday prayers and sermons will be held after 1:15 p.m. all year.
The purpose of longer weekends is to “boost productivity and improve work-life balance,” the government said.
The move comes as the oil-rich country looks to strengthen its tourist appeal and attract international business while keeping up with mounting competition from neighboring Saudi Arabia.
The UAE is not alone in considering a shorter workweek, an idea that has gained traction during the coronavirus pandemic. Japan and Spain have embarked on four-day-workweek experiments, and a study in Iceland found that a compressed workweek was an “overwhelming success” for productivity and employee satisfaction.
Chiles congress on Tuesday voted to legalize same-sex marriage, joining the growing wave of Latin American countries recognizing the right in a historically Catholic region.
Both chambers of the congress voted by wide margins to approve the legislation, a victory for gay rights activists who had spent more than a decade working to transform the country’s laws. President Sebastián Piñera has said he will sign it.
“We have been working for years for a profound cultural change,” said Rolando Jiménez, a spokesman for the advocacy group Movilh. “I celebrate marriage equality as a fundamental milestone in our history,”
The move comes less than two weeks before Chileans vote in the country’s most polarized presidential election in decades, with a conservative populist running against a leftist former student activist, amid an ongoing effort to redraft the country’s constitution.
The legislation, which had stalled for four years, received a surprise endorsement in June from Piñera, a center-right politician who previously opposed recognizing same-sex marriage. Angering conservative allies, the president vowed to give “urgency” to the legislation.
“The time has come for marriage equality in our country,” he said at the time. “Today, I think we need to reflect on the value of freedom, including the freedom to love and build a family with a loved one.”
Chile legalized same-sex civil unions in 2015. But it did not recognize adoption rights for gay partners, despite a ruling from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights that required it to uphold the parental rights of same-sex couples.
In 2017, then-President Michelle Bachelet proposed a bill to legalize same-sex marriage and recognize the rights of same-sex parents. Lawmakers on Tuesday passed an amended version of that bill. Erika Montecinos, founder and coordinator of the Chilean group Lesbian Association Breaking the Silence, called it a “historic step” for same-sex families and their children.
“Years ago we saw that same-sex couples, especially women, have opted for motherhood,” Montecinos said. “The woman who gave birth was recognized, but not her partner. . . .
“Now they will be able to request that their sons and daughters be recognized without even having to sign a marriage registry.”
Leonidas Romero, a conservative lawmaker who voted against the bill, called it a “very sad day for our country and for the Christian world.”
“The concept of marriage is clearly established for a man and a woman,” he told The Washington Post. “Children need a father and a mother, not two adults of the same sex who want to have children and who will never naturally succeed.”
But he added: “I doubt we can do anything. Unfortunately, this is here to stay.”
Chile is part of a growing group of Latin American countries advancing gay rights. Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Uruguay have legalized same-sex marriage, and Mexico’s Supreme Court has declared bans on same-sex marriage unconstitutional.
As Chileans rewrite their constitution, Jiménez said, leaders should enshrine protections “not only for sexual discrimination but for all types of discrimination.”
But with the runoff vote in the presidential election looming, gay rights activists feared their progress could come to a screeching halt. On Dec. 19, Chileans will choose between Gabriel Boric, a millennial leftist who has campaigned on a platform promoting decentralization, feminism and action against climate change, and José Antonio Kast, a right-wing populist and devout Catholic who opposes abortion and same-sex marriage.
“For us, marriage is between a man and a woman,” he said Tuesday. “Parliament has taken a majority decision. That is not going to make us change our convictions.” He said earlier that if the congress approved same-sex marriage, there would be little he could do about it.
But Montecinos said a Katz presidency could threaten “the little progress we have made.”
Austria will end a nationwide lockdown this weekend for people whove been inoculated against Covid-19 or have recovered from the virus, while continuing to limit participation in public life for those who refuse to be vaccinated.
The government will meet regional leaders on Wednesday to assess the measures needed to keep the pandemic contained and turn a “tendency of falling cases into a trend,” Chancellor Karl Nehammer told reporters in Vienna.
The measures have helped halve the number of 7-day infections per 100,000 inhabitants from as high as 1,110 at the start of the lockdown, even as occupancy of intensive-care units remains near a record.
The re-opening of places like retail shops and hairdressers is in line with plans announced before the lockdown began on Nov. 22. The policy was imposed to not only stem infections but also raise Austrian vaccination rates, which remain stuck in the lower half of countries tracked by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
Austria’s Chancellor, who was sworn in on Monday, said some restrictions may remain for hotels and restaurants, and regional leaders have the option to impose stricter local measures.
“If you are ready to accept scientific results, get a vaccination and protect others, then you will regain your freedom,” Nehammer said.
Austria is one of few European nations to return to strict restrictions in the latest wave of the pandemic. It also plans to impose mandatory vaccinations from February and fine dissenters.
Facebook failed to quickly stop the spread of hate speech and misinformation against the Rohingya people, in turn contributing to the persecution and alleged genocide of the minority community in Myanmar, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in a California court that asks for more than $150 billion in compensation.
The class-action suit against Meta, Facebook’s parent company, was brought by a Rohingya woman in Illinois on behalf of the 10,000-plus Rohingya refugees who have resettled in the United States since 2012. It alleges that Facebook’s algorithm amplified hate speech and that it neglected to remove inflammatory content despite repeated warnings that such posts could foment ethnic violence.
A similar complaint against the tech giant is expected to be filed in a British court next year, the BBC reported. Facebook declined to comment Tuesday on the lawsuits.
Lawyers representing the plaintiff in the California case argued in their complaint that Facebook’s entrance into Myanmar a decade ago marked “a key inflection point” for the Rohingya people, who have long been discriminated against in the Buddhist-majority Southeast Asian country.
Myanmar’s military launched a “scorched-earth campaign” in 2017 to push Rohingya residents, who are mostly Muslim, out of Rakhine state. Some 750,000 Muslim men, women and children were driven out in a campaign of rape, murder and razed villages that a top United Nations official called a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing.” That year, Doctors Without Borders estimated that at least 6,700 Rohingya people had been killed as a result of the attacks.
Around the same time, influential figures such as nationalist monks and top government officials posted or recirculated slurs against the Rohingya, while spreading falsehoods and doctored images that suggested some Rohingya burned their own villages and then blamed it on Myanmar security forces.
Myanmar has denied the genocide accusations and has justified some actions on counterterrorism grounds.
After a searing U.N. report connected Facebook to the atrocities against the Rohingya people, the region became a priority for the company, which began flooding it with resources in 2018, two former employees told The Washington Post.
Facebook in August 2018 began deleting and banning accounts of key individuals and organizations in Myanmar, acknowledging that its platform was used to “foment division and incite offline violence” that the U.N. mission found colossal in scale. The platform said that in the third quarter of 2018, it removed some 64,000 pieces of content in Myanmar that violated its policies against hate speech.
“Not until 2018-after the damage had been done-did Facebook executives . . . meekly admit that Facebook should and could have done more,” the lawsuit alleges. “Facebook is like a robot programed with a singular mission: to grow. And the undeniable reality is that Facebook’s growth, fueled by hate, division, and misinformation, has left hundreds of thousands of devastated Rohingya lives in its wake.”
Even after pledging more resources to regulate the platform, Facebook found in a 2020 internal audit that its algorithm still could not sift for covid-related posts when they are written in local Myanmar languages, which could weaken the company’s attempts to weed out false information on the platform.
The legal actions in the United States and Britain are part of a growing number of moves to hold responsible alleged perpetrators of genocide. The tiny African nation of Gambia filed a lawsuit against Myanmar at the International Court of Justice in 2019. It requested that the court issue an injunction to stop the Myanmar government from committing “atrocities and genocide against its own Rohingya people.”
Backed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Gambia asked a U.S. court to force Facebook to turn over data related to accounts it deleted in 2018 that fueled atrocities in Myanmar. After some legal wrangling, a federal judge in Washington eventually shot down the request this week.
Beijings official line on U.S. government representatives boycotting the Winter Olympics is that China couldnt care less and American officials were never invited anyway.
Yet the White House’s announcement Monday that neither President Joe Biden nor any other U.S. official will attend has touched a nerve in the Chinese capital, the host city for the Games in February. While dismissing the U.S. move as “grandstanding,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian vowed China would take “resolute countermeasures.” On Tuesday, Zhao said China had made “solemn representations” to the United States, assailing its move as a bid to “sabotage” the Games.
Online commentary and state media echoed similar points, that U.S. politicians were flattering themselves if they thought their presence was important. Ming Jinwei, a former editor at the official Xinhua News Agency, likened the United States to “the village bully who doesn’t get an invite to your wedding banquet but loudly tells everyone he won’t be attending.”
The glib response betrays Beijing’s sensitivities about legitimacy at a time when Chinese leader Xi Jinping is preparing to take on a controversial third term. Search results on China’s Weibo microblog for posts on the U.S. announcement appeared to be censored on Tuesday, and few state media outlets covered the news for their domestic audiences.
For Xi, who oversaw the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing – seen as China’s coming-of-age on the international stage – the Winter Games are an important marker of Beijing’s emergence as a global power.
“Beijing certainly cares about potential embarrassment around the Olympics, both internationally and domestically,” said Natasha Kassam, a former Australian diplomat in Beijing and director of the Public Opinion and Foreign Policy Program at the Lowy Institute in Sydney. “You can see the Chinese system has switched into offense mode, accusing the United States of politicizing sport and claiming that no one will notice the boycott.”
More worrying for Beijing is the prospect of other countries following suit, making a boycott harder to ignore. Officials in Britain, Australia, Canada and Europe are considering similar measures, with the issue expected to be discussed at the Group of Seven foreign ministers meeting in Liverpool, England, this weekend.
A growing number of Australian lawmakers have backed a diplomatic boycott, but a spokesman for the country’s sports minister said Tuesday that the government had yet to make a decision. His New Zealand counterpart said Tuesday the country would not be sending government ministers to the Winter Olympics but attributed the decision primarily to covid-19 rules. The sports minister of Lithuania, a country under fire from Beijing for forging closer ties with Taiwan, said last week that she and other senior ministry officials would not attend.
While largely symbolic – U.S. athletes will still compete in the Games – the boycott illustrates the growing pressure on China over its treatment of Uyghurs in the northwestern Xinjiang region, crackdown on the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong and silencing of Chinese citizens who speak out.
The recent curated reappearance of Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai, who vanished from public view for two weeks after accusing a retired senior Chinese official of pressuring her into sex, has galvanized calls from the international sports community and rights activists for more pressure on Beijing.
“While it’s relatively easy for Beijing to spin a U.S. boycott as another example of Western hypocrisy and double standards, this will be a more difficult narrative to sustain if the boycott grows beyond a few likely suspects,” Kassam said.
The dominance of Western liberal democracies in winter sports makes it harder for Beijing to drown out news of the boycott with shows of support from countries in the global south, she added.
The boycott threatens to undermine a slight thaw in U.S.-China relations after Xi and Biden held a virtual summit last month in which the two pledged to stop relations from deteriorating further. The Biden administration’s pledges to be tough on China and its hosting of a “Summit for Democracy” underline persistent tensions between the rivals and increased scrutiny of Beijing’s human rights record.
“Domestically, civil society is more silenced in China now, but at the same time China’s human rights abuses and systematic violations have naturally triggered more global attention,” said Eva Pils, an expert in Chinese law at King’s College London.
At home, Chinese officials appear to have braced for the boycott, emphasizing that China had not personally invited U.S. dignitaries. At a news conference on Friday, Zhao Weidong, deputy chief of propaganda for Beijing, noted that foreign dignitaries are invited by countries’ respective Olympic organizing committee, and not by China.
Rights advocates say the Chinese response demonstrates how much Beijing does care about the Winter Olympics and its image.
Yaqiu Wang, a China researcher at Human Rights Watch in Beijing, said the Chinese government could try to save face, “but deep down, it knows that the international community is upset with its actions and is increasingly willing to act on the discontent.”
When asked Tuesday about China’s intended countermeasures, Zhao said the United States would “pay a price for its wrong behavior.”
The death toll of Semeru volcano eruption in Indonesias East Java province rose to 22 with more than 30 people missing, while search for the victims was underway amid a potential of lava floods and hot clouds.
The death toll of Semeru volcano eruption in Indonesia’s East Java province rose to 22 on Monday with more than 30 people missing, while search for the victims was underway amid a potential of lava floods and hot clouds.
The rescuer team found several bodies buried by mud in Lumajang district on Monday, and the number of missing people may rise as there were sand mining activities on rivers during the eruption, said Daniel Riza, an official at the data and information center of the district’s disaster management and mitigation agency.
“The reports coming to us showed that 22 died, and 30 persons lost contacts, and the number could be more than that as there were some mining activities on the rivers just before the eruption,” he told Xinhua.
The natural disaster has forced 1,700 people to flee homes and take shelters at evacuation centers as hundreds of houses, a bridge and other infrastructure facilities were destroyed, the official said.

Head of the Geological Agency at the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry Eko Budi Lelono said there was still a potential for hot clouds to spread from the crater of the volcano, so that the red zone where the clouds may pass through must be emptied.
“The potential for the hot clouds to spread still exists. With a tool, it can be known just before it happens,” he told a virtual press conference.
On Sunday, the country’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency warned that heavy rains might happen in the coming days.
Heavy rains have usually triggered lava floods after volcanic eruptions in the vast archipelagic nation.
“There are still a potential of rains, with the level of weak, moderate and heavy, pouring down the areas around the crater and the slope of the volcano in the next three days,” Fachri Rajab, head of the Center for the Public Meteorology of the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), told a press conference.

Although the COVID-19 situation in Japan has significantly improved, Kishida warned of “new risks including the confirmation of the Omicron variant across a number of countries.”
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Monday vowed to “prepare for the worst” in dealing with the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 while still promoting the economic recovery of the country.
In his policy speech at the beginning of an extraordinary parliamentary session, Kishida also voiced hope for further debate on constitutional revision and pledged to conclude a sweeping review of security policy in about a year.
Although the COVID-19 situation in Japan has significantly improved, Kishida warned of “new risks including the confirmation of the Omicron variant across a number of countries.”
“We will maintain our stance of being cautious and prudent,” the prime minister said, adding Japan has added 10,000 hospital beds for COVID-19 patients since the summer and would possibly approve the use of an oral treatment drug later this month.

He said the digital certificates for people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 would be ready to give out on Dec. 20 by the government.
Referring to a decision to ban new entries of foreigners into Japan due to concerns over the Omicron variant, Kishida said he is “ready to accept criticism that I’m being too cautious before we have an adequate grasp of the situation.”
Moreover, the prime minister pledged to support businesses and workers adversely affected by the impact of the pandemic through an enormous stimulus package, funded mostly with a record 36 trillion yen (319 billion U.S. dollars) fiscal 2021 supplementary budget expected to be passed by parliament during the extraordinary session.
Regarding the constitutional reform, Kishida emphasized that lawmakers “have a responsibility to seriously consider” whether or not to amend the supreme law.
“In a time of rapid change, we should spark wide debate among the public on whether the current Constitution is fitting for today,” he said.
Kishida said the government would “drastically” increase tax incentives for firms to raise wages in response to his promise of achieving his “new capitalism”, which not only sparks growth in the Japanese economy but also redistributes wealth to the middle class.
In order to promote digital technology, he said his government would lay underwater cables around Japan to form a “superhighway” for high-speed internet.
The extraordinary parliamentary session started Monday afternoon and would run through Dec. 21.
The United States portrays itself as a model of democracy for the rest of the world, but its so-called “beacon of democracy” has long collapsed.
-“Blocking Afghan assets is a kind of bullying that has squeezed ordinary people like me to stop my son from going to school,” said Mir Ahmad, an Afghan wood seller and father of five.
– “Destructive war, displacement and poverty have devoured my life and that is why my 18-month-old daughter is suffering from malnutrition here in the hospital,” said Nafisa, an Afghan mother of eight.
Multiple countries that has been imposed the U.S. style of democracy have witnessed prolonged conflicts and insecurity, tattered national economy and massive sufferings among their people.
The U.S. democracy failed to fit in Afghanistan as well, leading to the loss of more than 100,000 Afghan lives and an unfolding humanitarian crisis.
As the weakest and most vulnerable group, Afghan children have become victims to the export of the U.S. democracy.

Padshah, 12, can’t go to school due to extreme poverty and has to work on streets to help his family make ends meet.
The boy, who is from the northern Baghlan province, migrated along with his family to Kabul three months ago in search of better living conditions. He said that he can hardly earn 80 afghani (1 U.S. dollar equals to 96 afghani) to support his impoverished family.
Declining to reveal the number of his family members, the working boy said that from dawn to dusk he weaves through Kabul streets to earn a livelihood, as the sanctions imposed by the United States have destroyed businesses elsewhere in the country.
“People on the streets say that America has blocked Afghan assets and the brutal action has led to poverty, and that is why many people including my father have lost their jobs,” Padshah said.
He added that he was a good student at school when his father had a job and a regular income.
Following the U.S. military pullout in Afghanistan and the Taliban’s takeover of the country in mid-August, Washington reportedly has frozen more than 9 billion U.S. dollars of Afghanistan’s central bank, leaving the new rulers in the doldrums.
The sanctions have undermined bank activities in Afghanistan, as many Afghans withdrew their deposits. To avoid bankruptcy, the banks imposed restrictions under which the customers can withdraw a limited amount of money.
To survive, the Afghans, including Kabul residents, resorted to selling home appliances on roadsides, but customers are rare, as the U.S. sanctions have shrunk the purchasing power of Afghans.
The impact of Washington’s sanctions on Afghanistan is palpable as the Afghan national currency the afghani is tumbling against the U.S. dollar each day, and the rising prices of basic items forced many Afghans to find extra jobs.
An Afghan wood seller and father of five, Mir Ahmad said that poverty has forced him to disrupt his son’s schooling and bring his son to his shop as a helper.
Lamenting the chaotic situation and poverty, the distressed Ahmad said, “If I allow my son to go to school, then I have to pay a laborer at least 500 afghani daily to help me in the shop,” which is unbearable to him at this critical stage.
Denouncing the U.S. for freezing Afghan assets, Ahmad said angrily, “Blocking Afghan assets is a kind of bullying that has squeezed ordinary people like me to stop my son from going to school.”
Blaming the United States’ double standard policy for the suffering of Afghans, Ahmad said that many of his son’s classmates have also given up on school due to poverty and are working with their parents or on the streets as child labor to earn a livelihood and support their families.

CHILDREN SUFFER FROM MALNUTRITION
An Afghan mother of eight, Nafisa, who lives in Kabul, was sad that she can’t give her children enough food to eat.
“Destructive war, displacement and poverty have devoured my life and that is why my 18-month-old daughter is suffering from malnutrition here in the hospital,” she said.
“The war claimed the life of my husband one year ago and left me with eight children in poverty,” said the mother in a hospital in Kabul.
Lying on the hospital bed, the 18-month-old Karima is in a ward shared with some 10 other children who are under medical treatment.
“I have no money to buy enough food, biscuits and powder milk for my children,” said Zakia, a mother of six, who sat next to the bed of her ailing two-year-old daughter, also suffering from malnutrition.
Doctors said more Afghan children have been suffering from malnutrition this year.
“In this season in the past years we had five to seven children suffering from malnutrition but unfortunately this year nowadays we register seven such children on average every day,” Noorul Haq Yousufzai, the head of the Indira Gandhi Institute of Child Health in Kabul, told Xinhua recently.
More than half the population of Afghanistan, a record 22.8 million people, would face acute food insecurity from November, and 3.2 million children under five are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition by the end of the year, said a report by World Food Program released in October.
The Taliban-led administration has urged Washington to unfreeze the Afghan assets and not to link humanitarian issues to politics.
“Malaysia welcomes prominent vaccine companies from China to set up their production plants in Malaysia which include data research and R&D centres,” said Malaysian Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah.
Malaysia and China would collaborate in vaccine research, development and production, The Star recently quoted Malaysian Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah as saying.
Saifuddin said the collaboration will fulfill Malaysia’s aspiration to be able to produce its own vaccines as expressed in Malaysia’s National Vaccine Development Roadmap.
The roadmap was recently announced by the country’s Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
“Malaysia welcomes prominent vaccine companies from China to set up their production plants in Malaysia which include data research and R&D centres,” Abdullah said in a joint press conference with Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in China on Saturday.
The two sides agreed to continue anti-pandemic cooperation when the two ministers co-chaired the first meeting of the high-level committee on China-Malaysia cooperation in Anji in east China’s Zhejiang Province.
