The final penalty of three
years imprisonment was ap-
proved by the Court of Cassa-
tion in its ruling.
In 2019, the defendant tried
to obtain a personal loan in his
retired father’s name. He ob-
tained a legitimate certificate
of his father’s pension from the
Social Insurance Organisation
via Bahrain Post, proving that
he is a former employee and
that his net monthly pension
is BD 1,141.
The defendant, along with
the second defendant and
another unknown individual,
forged the pension certificate
by changing his father’s pro-
fession and setting the month-
ly pension at BD 2,114. He sub-
mitted the falsified document
to obtain a loan.
A bank employee suspected
the authenticity of the docu-
ment presented to him due to
discrepancies in the details.

The defendant forged
the pension certificate
by changing his father’s
profession and setting

By verifying the authenticity
of the document, it was found
invalid due to its inconsistency
with the electronic record of

S

by renowned cardiologist
Dr. Abdul Azeri Asad Mo-
hammed have shed light on the
grave threat of cardiovascular
disease in Bahrain.
With a shocking 28 per cent
of all recorded deaths in the
Kingdom linked to heart-relat-
ed conditions, urgent action is
imperative.
In an exclusive interview with
The Daily Tribune, Dr. Moham-
med emphasised the critical
need for immediate preventive
measures to combat the rising
tide of heart disease in Bahrain.
His report, based on extensive
research conducted at Bahrain
Specialist Hospital, uncovered
a distressing trend among pa-
tients undergoing coronary an-
giography and angioplasty.
“What we found is deeply
concerning,” Dr. Mohammed
expressed. “A significant 25 per
cent of these cases involve in-
dividuals under the age of 45,
reaching an alarming 32 per
cent among Indian expatriates
within the same age group. This
indicates a worrying trend of

Contributing factors
The report identifies several
contributing factors to the es-
calating cardiovascular disease
crisis in Bahrain.
High prevalence of risk fac-
tors such as diabetes, hyper-
tension, and high cholesterol
levels play a substantial role,
exacerbating the situation. Ad-
ditionally, a significant number
of cases remain undiagnosed,
while diagnosed individuals
often receive inadequate treat-
ment and management, leading
to uncontrolled blood sugar and
blood pressure levels.
the impact of lifestyle-related
factors on heart health. Seden-
tary habits, obesity, and elevated
stress levels were identified as
significant contributors to the
rising incidence of cardiovas-
cular disease.
The alarming rates of smok-
ing among both locals and ex-
patriate communities in Bahrain
further compound the issue.
Genetic predispositions were
also acknowledged as potential
contributing factors.
To address this urgent health
crisis, Dr. Mohammed outlined
key preventive measures indi-
arettes, vape, or sheesha, as it
remains the most effective way
to protect the heart.
“Additionally, it is important
to maintain a healthy weight
and strive to keep the body mass
index ( BMI) below 25. These
check-ups include knowing
your numbers: keeping blood
pressure under 130/80 mm Hg,
maintaining average blood sug-
ar levels below 6.5 if diagnosed
with diabetes, and monitoring
and controlling LDL (bad cho-
lesterol) levels, aiming to keep
them below 100 mg/dL.
“For individuals aged 40
and above or those with one or
more risk factors, annual car-
diac check-ups, including ECG,
ECHO, and treadmill tests, are
recommended to assess heart
health. By following these
guidelines, you can take pro-
active steps towards maintain-
ing a healthy heart and overall
well-being,” he added.
Moreover, Dr. Mohammed
stressed the importance of ad-
hering to prescribed medica-
tions and called for universal
health insurance coverage for
all employees to overcome bar-

upheld for drug smuggler populations.” Dr. Mohammed underscored viduals can take to safeguard riers to healthcare access.

T he Court of Appeals up-
held a five-year prison
sentence for a man convicted
of smuggling over 90 narcotic
capsules inside his bowels.
The incident happened
when the defendant arrived
at Bahrain Airport from his
country. The customs officer
directed him to the red lane
and inquired about his condi-
tion as well as his possessions.
He denied possessing any
prohibited items, but the cus-
toms officer suspected him
and took him to the doctor
who requested his transfer to
the hospital.

were taken to extract them, re-

The defendant admitted that
he had prepared hashish in
his country and placed it in
capsules to attempt smuggling
it to Bahrain.
Security investigations re-
vealed that the defendant
worked within a drug smug-
gling network, and he was re-
ferred to Public Prosecution,
which charged him with pro-
curing, possessing and smug-
gling hashish and psychotrop-
ic substances with intent to
abuse them.

Dealing with

Get ready for ‘refreshing’ rainfall, thunderstorms and foggy

ANEESA MOIDOO, PSYCHOLOGIST
Zahra Ayaz it’s happening on a weekend,”

“A fter talking to friends, coworkers, or even about my

relationships, there are times when I feel sad and
occasionally disappointed. Sometimes I become
angry and reply negatively.”
I understand that rejection sensitivity can be a very painful
TDT | Manama

and distressing experience. It can be difficult to cope with the
intense emotions that come with feeling rejected, and it can
lead to negative thoughts and behaviors about yourself and
others. You may feel it like a direct attack on your character
on your self-worth.
For example, if a coworker says that you need to improve your
time management skills, you might take it as a personal insult
and start yelling at them. Or, if a romantic partner says that they
don’t like the way you cooked dinner, you might withdraw from
them and refuse to talk to them.
This is a typical experience for many people and can be
influenced by a number of factors, such as previous instanc-
es of criticism or rejec-
tion where you become
emotionally charged;
low self-esteem where
you perceive the feed-
back as personal attacks
which can cause nega-
tive emotional reactions;
and personal expecta-
tions where you may be
highly critical of your-
self and feedback is felt
as your failure, leading
to a sense of inadequacy.
Being understanding
and nice to yourself is
one of the most crucial
things. Keep in mind
that rejection is a part
of everyone’s life. It does
not imply that you are
wrong in any way. It’s
just one aspect of what
it means to be human.
Therefore, instead of
thinking of the worst
possible ideas, try to find
a different explanation
for the behavior.
Self-regulation, which
is observing and manag-
ing your emotional and
behavioral responses,
maybe the key to man-
aging rejection sensitiv-
ity. For example, it could
be helpful to pause and
consider the situation
rather than reacting
right away when you no-
tice a potential indicator
of rejection.
If you find that you are

acting to them, try to

Foreign YouTuber apologises after free-

States
AFP | Tokyo, Japan

U
N Secretary-General An-

A YouTuber with 2.4 million

subscribers apologised
yesterday after a video of him
and three others free-riding
around Japan became the lat-
est example of fame-seeking
foreigners riling locals.
The YouTuber known by
the username Fidias posted a
video over the weekend of the
four riding trains and buses
around Japan -- in some cases
without paying.
In the video, Fidias hides in
a toilet of a bullet train, pre-
tends to be ill when confront-
ed by a ticket collector, and
then escapes to board another
train where he pulls the same
trick. Another clip shows him
entering a hotel and pretend-
ing to be a guest in order to get
free breakfast.
“I just (got) access to a five-
star Japanese buffet. And
we’re leaving the hotel with-
out getting caught and without
any problem,” he triumphantly
tells the camera.
Other parts of the video
show the four, one of whom
appears to be the YouTuber
Night Scape who has 1.7 mil-
lion followers, begging money
from locals to pay for tickets.
It was unclear when the
footage was shot or whether
the three men and one woman
were still in Japan.
“Another strange, annoy-
ing YouTuber from abroad

media user said in Japanese.
Another said: “surprisingly,

line post) is full of applause.
(Police) should arrest him to
prevent copycat crimes from
happening.”
Regional train operator JR
Kyushu said it was studying
the footage before deciding
whether to inform the police.
“We are aware of the case
and investigating facts around
it,” a spokesman told AFP.
Fidias on Tuesday posted an
apology on his channel, saying:
“hello beautiful people i apol-
ogize to the Japanese people
if we made them feel bad that
was not our goal ! from now on
i am going to be make more
research to the cultures we go

in relief.
“I am deeply concerned about
the clear violations of interna-
tional humanitarian law that we
are witnessing in Gaza. Let me
be clear: No party to an armed
conflict is above international hu-
manitarian law,” Guterres told a
Security Council session, without
explicitly naming Israel.
Guterres, who personally trave-
led to the crossing between Egypt
and Gaza in a push to let in assis-
tance, welcomed the crossing of
three aid convoys so far through
the Rafah crossing.
“But it is a drop of aid in an
ocean of need. In addition, our UN
fuel supplies in Gaza will run out
in a matter of days. That would
be another disaster,” Guterres
said.
“To ease epic suffering, make
the delivery of aid easier and saf-

hostages, I reiterate my appeal
for an immediate humanitarian
ceasefire.”

“I’ve been trying really

per E! Online. “I’m a person
who fills my schedule with
busyness, so that I feel less
alone or less nervous or less
unsettled.”
She continued, “I started
to realize that isn’t going
to work for me. About a
year ago, I was like,
‘I was a robot and
the robot broke.’ I

night in their Group C match
of the AFC Cup 2023.
The game was played at Jaber
Al Ahmad International Stadi-
um in Kuwait City, and the re-
sult moved the Bahrainis closer
to a second successive West
Zonal semi-final appearance.
On target for the victors were
Komail Al Aswad, Hashem
Sayed Issa and Joel Vinicius
Silva Dos Anjos.
After a goalless first half, Al
Aswad opened Riffa’s account
in the 56th minute with a bril-
liant free-kick from a few me-
tres outside the penalty box.
The Bahrain international star
sent the ball into the top-left
corner of goal with a left-footed
strike.
Issa then made it 2-0 just
seven minutes later with a fine
effort from an acute angle that
slotted past Arabi goalkeeper
Ahmad Dashti.
Dos Anjos then sealed the full
three points with an effort that
was touched by Dashti, but he
couldn’t keep it out of the net.

The result propelled Riffa to

of Iraq and Arabi follow with
four points apiece, while Ne-
