They were all famous. And their deaths shrouded in mystery 

even now. Here’s a list

1

On June 3, 2013 Jiah Khan was found dead in her house in Mumbai. The industry was shocked. First reports suggested suicide; but later her mother Rabia Khan came out in the open and blamed Suraj Pancholi for her daughter's death. Suraj was arrested and then later let go. The question remains, did Jiah commit suicide? We are not sure.

9   

Priya Rajvansh had been Chetan Anand’s live-in companion for many years. After Anand’s death, she inherited some property along with Chetan Anand’s sons Ketan Anand and Vivek Anand.

DALAM NEGARA - Model Ekonomi Baru menunjukkan 80% isi rumah berpendapatan kurang RM5,000 sebulan dan 40% kurang RM2,000 sebulan

Kekayaan tidak saksama boleh 

undang rasuah, titah Sultan Nazrin 

OLEH MUZLIZA MUSTAFA

Published: 1 October 2014 | Updated: 1 October 2014 1:26 PM

Sultan Nazrin Shah berkata rakyat miskin lebih terdedah dengan rasuah kecil-kecilan, sambil menasihati kerajaan tidak mengendahkan realiti kekayaan tidak sama rata. – Gambar fail, 1 Oktober, 2014. 

Sultan Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah hari ini mengingatkan 

Putrajaya supaya berhenti menafikan kewujudan 

kekayaan tidak sama rata di negara ini dan sedar 

kesusahan hidup dan kemiskinan juga boleh menyebabkan 

kegiatan rasuah.

Dalam ucapannya, baginda memetik angka menunjukkan pendapatan rendah di kalangan majoriti isi rumah di Malaysia, sambil berkata mereka yang bertungkus lumus memenuhi keperluan hidup terdedah dengan rasuah pada skala kecil.

Baginda berucap pada majlis ulangtahun ke-47 Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) yang diadakan di Pusat Konvensyen Kuala Lumpur hari ini, di sebalik perbahasan mengenai pengumuman Putrajaya baru-baru ini mendakwa purata pendapatan isi rumah rakyat melebihi RM5,900.

Sementara mengambil maklum yang rasuah juga wujud di kalangan pegawai berpangkat tinggi di sektor awam dan swasta akibat sifat tamak mereka, Sultan Nazrin berkata rakyat golongan bawahan ada yang melakukan kerja kedua bagi menampung keperluan keluarga demi mengelak terjebak dalam rasuah.

Ini akhirnya akan menjejaskan produktiviti mereka di tempat kerja, titahnya.

"Inilah hakikat senario semasa di dalam negara. Bilangan yang tergolong dalam kategori ini akan semakin bertambah jika formula berkesan tidak diperkenalkan terutama memberikan fokus kepada aspek-aspek perumahan, makanan, pengangkutan serta khidmat kesihatan dan rawatan perubatan yang kosnya semakin hari semakin meningkat.

"Negara tidak boleh berada dalam minda penafian akan realiti sebenar yang sedang berlaku," titahnya.

Baginda memetik laporan Model Ekonomi Baru yang 

menunjukkan 80% isi rumah di negara ini berpendapatan 

kurang RM5,000 sebulan dan 40% berpendapatan kurang 

RM2,000 sebulan.

Ia juga menunjukkan 78.6% pencarum Kumpulan Wang 

Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP) berpendapatan kurang RM3,000 

sebulan.  

Sementara itu, titahnya, tahap keupayaan pelaburan di kalangan majoriti bumiputera boleh dimanifestasikan melalui simpanan Amanah Saham Bumiputera di mana 75% daripada penabungnya memiliki purata tabungan hanya RM611 seorang.  

Sultan Nazrin bertitah, data itu sangat membimbangkan dalam usaha negara mencapai taraf negara maju dengan sasaran pendapatan per kapita RM48,000 setahun pada tahun 2020.

Katanya, keadaan itu umpama penyakit yang memerlukan rawatan serius.

"Ia bukan sakit tekak yang bersifat sementara, boleh diubati dengan gula-gula strepsil. Ia penyakit sosial yang serius, memerlukan rawatan intensif daripada doktor dan pakar bedah sosial, memerlukan formula perubatan dari farmasi sosial yang berupaya merangka dasar sosial yang komprehensif lagi holistik untuk dilaksanakan," katanya. – 1 Oktober, 2014.

EBOLA VIRUS - As U.S. sees its first Ebola case, learn how the virus spreads

By Michael Martinez, CNN

September 30, 2014 -- Updated 2354 GMT (0754 HKT)

How will the U.S. contain Ebola case?

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Ebola is spread by someone who has become sickened by the virus
• From there, the actual transmission occurs through contact of bodily fluids
• Those bodily fluids include sweat, blood, feces

(CNN) -- As the worst Ebola outbreak in history touches the United States with the diagnosis of the first case within America, questions arise about how the infectious virus is spread.

Ebola is spread by someone who is ill and showing symptoms of the virus. As people with the virus become sicker, they become more infectious, experts say.

"Remember, Ebola doesn't spread before someone gets sick," Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Tuesday. "Ebola does not spread from someone who's not infectious. It does not spread from someone who doesn't have fever and other symptoms.

CNN reporter talks about covering Ebola

"So, it's only someone who's sick with Ebola who can spread the disease," Frieden said.

CDC Director Dr. Tomas Frieden notes that only a person showing symptoms can spread the disease.

The transmission of the virus occurs through contact with bodily fluids -- such as blood, sweat and feces -- from infected humans or animals.

According to the CDC's website, "Health care providers caring for Ebola patients and the family and friends in close contact with Ebola patients are at the highest risk of getting sick because they may come in contact with infected blood or body fluids of sick patients."

The virus cannot travel through the air, like a cold or flu virus.

"This is not an airborne transmission," said Dr. Marty Cetron, director of CDC's Division of Global Migration and Quarantine. "There needs to be direct contact frequently with body fluids or blood."

Although a transmission could occur when someone shakes the sweaty hand of an infectious person -- the uninfected person would have to have a break in the skin of their hand that would allow entry of the virus, said CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

"Keep in mind, this is something that's spread through bodily fluids," Gupta said. "Once somebody starts to get sick, it means the virus is being excreted in their bodily fluids. Shake hands with somebody ... and you think I don't have breaks in my skin, (but) we all have minor breaks in our skin. And there is a possibility that some of the virus can be transmitted that way."

Medecins Sans Frontieres says that while the virus is believed to be able to survive for some days in liquid outside an infected organism, agents such as chlorine, heat, direct sunlight, soaps and detergents can kill it.

What about planes? Can fellow passengers become infected if someone on the flight has the virus? Could Ebola spread around the world via air travel?

While the CDC acknowledges it is possible a person infected with Ebola in West Africa could get on a plane and arrive in another country -- which is apparently what happened in the U.S. case -- the chances of the virus spreading during the journey are low.

"It's very unlikely that they would be able to spread the disease to fellow passengers," said Stephan Monroe, deputy director of CDC's National Center for Emerging Zoonotic and Infectious Diseases.

"The Ebola virus spreads through direct contact with the blood, secretions or other body fluids of ill people, and indirect contact -- for example with needles and other things that may be contaminated with these fluids."

Travelers should take precautions by avoiding areas experiencing outbreaks and avoiding contact with Ebola patients.

"It is highly unlikely that someone suffering such symptoms would feel well enough to travel," the International Air Transport Association said.

CNN's Susannah Cullinane and Madison Park contributed to this report.

EBOLA VIRUS - First Ebola case diagnosed in the US

The first case of the deadly Ebola virus diagnosed on US soil has been confirmed in Dallas, Texas.

Officials at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital say the unidentified patient is being kept in isolation.

The man is thought to have contracted the virus in Liberia before travelling to the US nearly two weeks ago.

More than 3,000 people have already died of Ebola in West Africa and a small number of US aid workers have recovered after being flown to the US.

Monitoring

"An individual travelling from Liberia has been diagnosed with Ebola in the United States," Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Thomas Frieden told reporters on Tuesday.

According to Mr Frieden, the unnamed patient left Liberia on 19 September and arrived in the US the next day to visit relatives, without displaying any symptoms of the virus.

Aid worker Nancy Writebol was flown to Atlanta in early August

A month after returning to the US, Ms Writebol was well enough to speak to reporters

Symptoms of the virus became apparent on 24 September, and on 28 September he was admitted to a Texas hospital and put in isolation.

The disease, which is not contagious until symptoms appear, is spread via close contact with bodily fluids.

Aid workers who caught Ebola in West Africa have come back to the US for treatment but this is the first case of a patient developing the virus on US soil, says the BBC's Alastair Leithead in Los Angeles.

A hospital official told reporters on Tuesday the facility already had procedures in place to deal with any such potential cases.

Preliminary information indicates that the unnamed patient, who was described as critically ill, was not involved in treating Ebola-infected patients while in Liberia.

Health officials are working to identify all people who came into contact with the unnamed patient while he was infectious.

Those people will then be monitored for 21 days to see if an Ebola-related fever develops.

According to Mr Frieden, it is possible a family member who came in direct contact with the patient may develop Ebola in the coming weeks.

More than 3,000 people have already died in West Africa

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital says it was prepared for this

But "the bottom line here is I have no doubt that we will control this importation, this case of Ebola, so it does not spread widely in this country," he added. "We will stop it here."

The World Health Organization (WHO) says more than 3,000 people have died of the virus so far, mostly in Liberia.

Earlier on Tuesday, the CDC said the Ebola virus seemed to be contained in Nigeria and Senegal, with no new cases reported there for almost a month.

It is the world's most deadly outbreak of the virus.

EBOLA VIRUS - First Case of Ebola in U.S.

Government Confirms First Case of Ebola in US

DALLAS — Sep 30, 2014, 11:43 PM ET

Director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Dr. Tom Frieden speaks during a news conference after confirming that a patient at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital has tested positive for Ebola, the first case of the disease to be diagnosed... View Full CaptionThe Associated Press

The first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. was confirmed Tuesday in a patient who recently traveled from Liberia to Dallas — a sign of the far-reaching impact of the out-of-control epidemic in West Africa.

The unidentified man was critically ill and has been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital since Sunday, federal health officials said. They would not reveal his nationality or age.

Authorities have begun tracking down family, friends and anyone else who may have come in close contact with him and could be at risk for becoming ill. But officials said there are no other suspected cases in Texas.

At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Director Tom Frieden said the man left Liberia on Sept. 19, arrived the next day to visit relatives and started feeling ill four or five days later. He said it was not clear how the patient became infected.

There was no risk to any fellow airline passengers because the man had no symptoms when he was traveling, Frieden said.

Ebola symptoms can include fever, muscle pain, vomiting and bleeding, and can appear as long as 21 days after exposure to the virus. The disease is not contagious until symptoms begin, and it takes close contact with bodily fluids to spread.

"I have no doubt that we'll stop this in its tracks in the U.S. But I also have no doubt, that as long as the outbreak continues in Africa, we need to be on our guard," Frieden told reporters.

"It is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual, a family member or other individual, could develop Ebola in the coming weeks," he added. "But there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here."

He said he didn't believe anyone on the same flights as the patient was at risk.

"Ebola doesn't spread before someone gets sick and he didn't get sick until four days after he got off the airplane," Frieden said.

Frieden briefed President Barack Obama by phone about the diagnosis, the White House said.

Word of the infection alarmed the local Liberian community.

"People have been calling, trying to find out if anybody knows the family," said Stanley Gaye, president of the Liberian Community Association of Dallas-Fort Worth. "We've been telling people to try to stay away from social gatherings."

Four American aid workers who became infected in West Africa have been flown back to the U.S. for treatment after they became sick. They were cared for in special isolation facilities at hospitals in Atlanta and Nebraska. Three have recovered.

Also, a U.S. doctor exposed to the virus in Sierra Leone is under observation in a similar facility at the National Institutes of Health.

The U.S. has only four such isolation units. Asked whether the Texas patient would be moved to one of those specialty facilities, Frieden said there was no need and virtually any hospital can provide the proper care and infection control.

Dr. Edward Goodman, an epidemiologist at the hospital, said the U.S. was much better prepared to handle the disease than African hospitals, which are often short of doctors, gloves, gowns and masks.

"We don't have those problems. So we're perfectly capable of taking care of this patient with no risk to other people," Goodman said.
