The secondary factor is the illegal fishing practices. There are only about 10 vaquitas left on Earth today.

1119/1 © Penerbit Mahir Sdn Bhd (183897-P) 5 [Lihat halaman sebelah Part 3 Questions 19 to 26 You are going to read an article about Bob Geldof. For questions 19 to 26, choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D). Bob Geldof Bob Geldof is a renowned Irish singer-songwriter and political activist who raised millions for famine relief in Ethiopia, Africa and other poor nations. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1954. As a child, he was happy, busy and bright. He lost his loving and doting mother when he was seven and this affected him badly. Overnight, everything changed. Bob could hardly understand what had happened. His sister, who was only 16, took over the running of the household because their dad was always away, as he was a salesman. Bob went to Blackrock College, a very old-fashioned school that was strict and unimaginative. He hated school and although he was very much liked by some of the teachers, he was never really happy. He was an intelligent student but he never did well at school because he had other problems. He always looked untidy, was bad-mannered, always being called names and restless and difficult to manage as he was growing up. He started showing an interest in performing in front of an audience, unlike his fellow students who dreaded being asked to perform. He very often volunteered to perform. When he was fourteen, all Bob seemed to be interested in was clothes and pop groups, much to his father’s annoyance. During his last years in school, he began working with the Simon Communities in Dublin, which were set up to provide the homeless, alcoholics, drug addicts and those with mental illnesses with shelter, food, clothing and medical care. He was able to empathise with them and this helped him to understand what it was like to live in Africa and other poverty-stricken areas. When he finished school, he left for England and sometime later, he went to Canada. Between the two countries he worked as a slaughter man, pea canner, journalist and even hosted a children’s programme. In 1975, he returned to England and became the lead singer of the Boomtown Rats, a rock group. The group released their first single in the UK with ‘Rat Trap’. Then in 1979, they released their second single, ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’. Later in 1986, he left the Boomtown Rats to start his solo career and his records sold well. Bob’s life took a turn for the better in the 80s. In 1984, he transitioned from being a rock star to an international celebrity for raising awareness on humanitarian charities. His first major charity involvement took place in 1981 when he performed as a solo artist for Amnesty International. In 1984, Ethiopia and other African countries experienced severe famine and deaths and Bob decided to do something to help. He released a single with Midge Ure titled ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas Time’. Many other popular singers were invited and it became a bestseller. More than three million copies were sold and the money was used to help the poor. In 1984, he founded the charity super group Band Aid with Midge Ure to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. In 1985, they organised the Live Aid Concert which was a sixteen-hour music event at Wembley Stadium to raise money and awareness for Africa. This was the starting point for Bob who became involved in work for non-governmental organisations in Africa. In 1985, he also organised the Live 8 concerts to bring relief to the starving in Ethiopia. He raised more than 70 million pounds. Bob has received many awards for his outstanding contributions to social justice and peace. Currently, he is serving as an adviser to the ONE Campaign, co-founded by fellow Irish rock singer and activist Bono, and is a member of the African Progress Panel.

The second Penang Bridge, also known as the Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge, which is 24 kilometers long, opened to traffic on March 2, 2014. (27) The idea to build the iconic Penang Bridge was suggested by the late Tun Abdul Razak, the second Prime Minister of Malaysia and the late Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu, the second Chief Minister of Penang. (28) The bridge is well known as the second longest bridge in Malaysia and the fifth-longest in Southeast Asia and a national landmark. (29) People had to use ferries to cross to and from the island as it was the only available transportation from the mainland. The people insisted that the government take the necessary action to build the Penang Bridge. (30) There were more than 2,300 people involved in its construction, which saw 20 workers killed during the course of construction. On October 20, 1984, five workers were killed when a crossbeam collapsed. (31) Legend has it that pillar 56 of the bridge held the secret to these mysterious incidents. (32) It is also a frequent spot for road accidents and even suicides. In May 2022, for instance, nine attempted suicides were recorded with five of them fatal.
