EVEN though she turns 30 this October, singer Aina Abdul (pic) says she has not met anyone to settle down with yet and she is not ready to be somebody’s wife, reported Harian Metro.
The Semalam hitmaker says she is currently single and focusing solely on her career.
“Although the answer is a bit cliched, this is the truth.
“I’m not ready to get married because there are many things to improve as a woman.
“So for now, I refuse to think about it,” she said.
Aina, whose full name is Nurul Aina Abdul Ghani, added that she was not mentally ready to get into a relationship and is currently not looking to get to know anyone romantically.
> The elephant rampage that killed an Orang Asli teenager two weeks ago has forced 4,000 residents from 21 villages in Pos Senderut, Lipis in Pahang to lock themselves in their homes, reported Utusan Malaysia.
Kampung Tual village head Yok Ek Cantan said that although the forest has been a part of life for those in Kampung Tual for generations, the recent elephant attack was the first of its kind.
“Fearful residents believe the elephant, about three metres tall with tusks almost one metre long, will return despite efforts from the Wildlife Protection and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) to drive it away to its natural habitat,” he said.
He hopes Perhilitan will do what is best to protect the Orang Asli villages near Pos Senderut and Pos Betau from elephant attacks.
On Jan 9, Orang Asli teenager Andy Yok Manin, 15, was trampled to death and gored by a wild elephant in Kampung Tual, while on Dec 6 last year, an Orang Asli woman died after being trampled by a herd of wild elephants in Kampung Simoi Baru, Pos Betau.
> The poisonous jellyfish Portuguese man o’war has been found at two beaches in Terengganu, according to Sinar Harian.
Marang district Civil Defence Force officer Lieutenant (PA) Mujahid Abd Wahab said they found seven of these jellyfish stranded around Pantai Pulau Kekabu.
This is after the same species of jellyfish was found at Pantai Seberang Takir, Kuala Nerus, on Monday.
“APM members have collected and disposed of the jellyfish by burying them in the sand to avoid threats to visitors,” said Mujahid.
“If you come across this jellyfish, do not touch or hold it because it is still poisonous and dangerous even when it is dead.
“These jellyfish can paralyse victims through their stings as well as cause burns on the skin.
“They can be fatal if not treated immediately,” he said.
