KUALA LUMPUR, June 1 — The Ministry of Defence (Mindef) remains committed to strengthening the capabilities and readiness of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) through the development of assets, technology and human capital to ensure the force remains at the forefront of defending the country’s airspace.

Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said that over the past 68 years, the RMAF has shouldered the responsibility of safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty with professionalism, courage and dedication.

“The RMAF plays a vital role in ensuring the security of the country’s airspace and supporting various operations to protect the nation’s interests and sovereignty,” he said in a Facebook post today in conjunction with the RMAF’s 68th anniversary celebration.

Mohamed Khaled also expressed his appreciation and gratitude to all serving and retired RMAF personnel for their contributions, sacrifices and dedicated service in defending the country’s sovereignty.

The history of the RMAF began when the Air Force Ordinance was passed by Parliament on June 2, 1958, with the force initially known as the Royal Federal Air Force.

Following the formation of Malaysia on Sept 16, 1963, the force was subsequently renamed the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF). — Bernama

2004 - The first digital camera from Sony. A whole 1.2 megapixels, two AA batteries, and the feeling that an era had just ended.

No more developing photos.
No more counting frames.
No more crying over a wasted frame.

It sounds ridiculous today, because a phone in your pocket does more than many "cameras of the future" back then.
But back then, it was freedom. You could try, break, improve, learn to see without paying for your own mistakes every time.

I look at this photo and I see more than just a winter scene from years ago.
I see the beginning of the best days of my hobby.

ISTANBUL, June 13 — The death toll from a powerful earthquake that struck the southern Philippines earlier this week has risen to 61, authorities said today, as search and rescue teams continued operations in the worst-hit parts of Mindanao.

The Office of Civil Defence (OCD) said the number of fatalities increased after more bodies were recovered from affected areas.

Broadcaster GMA News reported that 33 people remain missing while 1,221 others have been injured.

Authorities said search, rescue and retrieval operations are ongoing as emergency crews continue looking for survivors and recovering victims trapped by landslides and collapsed buildings.

The Disaster Response Operations Monitoring and Information Center (DROMIC) reported that the earthquake affected 553,068 people across the Mindanao region.

According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, about 9,393 people are staying in evacuation centres while another 54,274 are sheltering with relatives and friends outside official relief facilities.

Initial assessments showed that 8,865 houses were destroyed while a further 36,691 suffered partial damage.

Rescue efforts have been slowed by persistent aftershocks, unstable structures and damaged roads that have made some communities difficult to reach.

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Mindanao earlier this week, triggering widespread panic and causing extensive damage to homes, schools, hospitals and public infrastructure.
