Pelanggan bermalam di Ikea selepas terkandas dalam ribut salji

AALBORG: Pelanggan dan kakitangan gedung perabot ternama Ikea di Denmark mendapat pengalaman bermalam terbaik selepas terkandas akibat ribut salji.

Dalam kejadian di bandar Aalborg baru-baru ini, sekurang-kurangnya 25 staf dan pelanggan gedung perabot itu tidak dapat pulang ke rumah apabila salji setebal 30cm (12 inci) melitupi jalan dan bangunan.

Disebabkan keadaan cuaca yang tidak memungkinkan mereka beredar, pelanggan dan staf gedung dibenarkan bermalam di bilik pameran, menjamu selera di kafe, juga menonton televisyen di premis tersebut.

Bukan setakat kumpulan itu sahaja, malah kakitangan kedai mainan bersebelahan juga memohon untuk tumpang berteduh di gedung Ikea tersebut.

Pengurus gedung Peter Elmrose berkata mereka tidur di bilik pameran di mana terdapat katil, tilam dan sofa.

"Kami berkumpul di kafe, di mana kami dapat makanan dan minuman, dan tonton televisyen.

"Kami tak dapat elak situasi ini. Kami sangat gembira mendapat perlindungan," kata Erik Bangsgaard, antara pelanggan yang terperangkap di dalam premis itu.

Selain tidur yang selesa, keesokan harinya, kumpulan itu dijamu pula dengan sarapan pagi roti gulung kayu manis dan kopi sebelum mereka meninggalkan premis tersebut.

Elmrose memaklumkan bahawa katil dan perkakas di premis itu akan dibersihkan apabila gedung itu dibuka pada pagi Khamis.

Consider This: Teens, Tech & Trust (Part 2) — Building Digital Resilience

In Malaysia, 75% of teenagers use social media daily—but with this constant connection comes a growing number of risks. A new report by the think tank SERI titled ‘Teens, Tech, and Trust’ reveals that fewer than half of Malaysian teens feel safe online— with cyberbullying, scams, and hacking being everyday realities. Meanwhile, questions are being raised about whether schools, parents, and even social media platforms are doing enough to protect our young digital citizens. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Benjamin Loh, senior lecturer at Taylor’s University School of Media and Communication and director of the Impact Lab for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
