Dubai: Dubai Autism Center successfully concluded its 15th Annual Autism Awareness Campaign after a monthlong programme of events and activities organised with the support of the public and private sectors and members of the community.
The annual campaign was launched on World Autism Awareness Day on April 2 under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, with the aim of educating society about the importance of empowering individuals with autism and integrating them into mainstream life.
Outlining the key results of the campaign, Mohammed Al Emadi, Director General and Board Member of the Dubai Autism Center, said: “During the campaign, the Dubai Autism Center witnessed a high turnout of parents keen to take advantage of the free consultation sessions for children suspected of having autism. The Centre’s clinic registered over 110 requests for consultations just in the month of April.”

Years of hogging the limelight should, by now, have inscribed Kanyeâs name in flaming letters into the art industryâs consciousness. This is why his latest exhibition â which opened on Friday, April 16 and ends tomorrow (Monday, April 19) at the Abuja Transcorp Hilton Hotel â should go down in the annals of the local art scene as a landmark event. True, he is only an 11-year-old. But he found fame when he made history as the youngest and first-ever African winner of the prestigious Flamme des Friedens (Flame of Peace) award in the Austrian capital, Vienna. This was on Thursday, September 6, 2018, about two months shy of his ninth birthday.

LUMPUR: Rembau Member of Parliament Khairy Jamaluddin (
pix) has reiterated his call for Umno elections to be held early, saying party president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s position has become “increasingly untenable”.
He said this when commenting on a viral audio clip purportedly involving a recent conversation between Ahmad Zahid and PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Khairy urged the Umno supreme council to meet immediately and allow for the party elections to take place as soon as possible.
“I think many people in the party are very uncomfortable with the phone conversation purportedly between our party president and Anwar. Ahmad Zahid’s position, as far as I am concerned, is increasingly untenable and the best way to move on is to have a party election,” he said.
