TH SOP to handling emergency cases on the holy land is sufficient

MAKKAH -- The Tabung Haji (TH) standard operating procedures (SOP) on safety is sufficient to guide TH workers in handling emergency cases on the holy land.

Maktab 87 TH manager for the 1439H haj season Khairoddin Ahmad said the crane-collapse tragedy in Makkah in September 2015 was an experience that gave him better insight on ways to improve handling of the haj pilgrims and their welfare.

"Even during training back home (in Malaysia), we have been exposed to the risk and what should be done during emergency,” he told a media conference here.

For the current haj season, he said, the Maktab 87 management team comprised 11 workers.

"All Maktab managers have been provided the SOP for important matters in the haj pilgrimage, like movement during the Masyair, namely for the wukuf in Arafah and then to Muzdalifah and Mina.

"We need proper and coordinated planning. For the Masyair operation, the 11 of us will be assisted by workers from the welfare division,” he added.

Khairoddin said he learned alot from the crane-collapse incident which occurred on Sept 11, 2015, killing 180 haj pilgrims and injuring 238 others. Seven Malaysian pilgrims were killed and 11 others injured in the incident.

“The most important lesson learnt is the need for pilgrims to forge friendship, especially with their roommates, who are the people closest to them and who will help them in times of need.

“So, the need for pilgrims to be cooperative and tolerant,” he added.

He said 1,900 pilgrims who were accommodated at Maktab 87, out of the total 2,932 pilgrims, had arrived in Makkah.

The remaining are expected to arrive through two flights soon, he added.

Proton SUV open for booking at RM1,000

KUALA LUMPUR -- National car maker, Proton Holdings Bhd, is adopting an alphanumerical naming system for its future models beginning with the X70, its first sport utility vehicle (SUV). Sales and Marketing Vice-President Abdul Rashid Musa said the letter X is synonymous with crossover or SUV vehicles, while the number 70 denoted the size or class of the SUV and would enable Proton to adopt a logical system to add bigger or smaller models in the future. “This is the first time an alphanumerical naming system is used on a Proton model as our research shows it will make it easier to sell in ASEAN and other international markets, as there are no language barriers to overcome,” he told reporters at the preview of the new SUV. Proton Chief Executive Officer Dr Li Chunrong said Proton's adoption of the new naming system would make customer more focus on the brand name as compared with the model name.
