A man and woman trapped inside failed to escape in time and were burned alive to death in a horrific incident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief Mohd Zamzuri said in a statement that the accident occurred at approximately 3.01am today on the Sungai Besi Expressway, heading from the city centre towards the Besraya Highway, involving a grey Honda City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said investigations revealed that the vehicle was &lt;b&gt;driven by a 29-year-old Chinese man, while a 23-year-old Malay woman, believed to be his colleague, was in the passenger seat.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Prior to the incident, the two had reportedly attended a dinner event organised by an international banking company and were on their way back to their residence in Ampang.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohd Zamzuri said preliminary investigations showed that the car was navigating a bend at the scene when the driver is believed to have &lt;b&gt;lost control, causing the vehicle to veer off the road and crash violently into a stone pillar on the left side before catching fire. The car was subsequently engulfed in flames.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said firefighters from the &lt;b&gt;Cheras Fire and Rescue Department later arrived at the scene to extinguish the blaze and assist in removing the trapped victims from the vehicle.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;b&gt;The male driver suffered severe burns all over his body, while the female passenger sustained serious head injuries. Both were pronounced dead at the scene&lt;/b&gt; by medical personnel.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added that police are currently investigating the case under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by dangerous driving, and will obtain nearby CCTV footage to help determine the exact cause of the accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('6b31061561d464f9c9cd59d5dff9dbd6')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;6b31061561d464f9c9cd59d5dff9dbd6&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='https://media5.orientaldaily.com.my/images/uploads/news/2026/MAY_2026/20260517/col18.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='https://media5.orientaldaily.com.my/images/uploads/news/2026/MAY_2026/20260517/WhatsApp_Image_2026-05-17_at_10.06.33_AM_(1).jpeg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='https://media5.orientaldaily.com.my/storage/resize_cache/images/uploads/news-cover/2026/MAY_2026/20260517/WhatsApp_Image_2026-05-17_at_9.15.41_AM.jpeg/421ce9c9c986656114fff3ab1b6998b3.jpeg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.chinapress.com.my/20260517/%E7%8B%AC%E5%AE%B6%EF%BD%9C%E7%94%B7%E6%AD%BB%E8%80%85%E5%B7%B2%E7%83%A7%E6%88%90%E7%84%A6%E5%B0%B8-%E8%AD%A6%E6%9A%82%E6%97%A0%E6%B3%95%E7%A1%AE%E8%AE%A4%E6%98%AF%E5%90%A6%E6%B6%89%E9%86%89%E9%A9%BE/' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.chinapress.com.my/20260517/%E7%...86%89%E9%A9%BE/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;由于男死者已烧成焦尸，现阶段难以确认是否涉及醉驾。&lt;br /&gt;As the male victim’s body was severely charred, it is currently difficult to determine whether drunk driving was involved.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;according to chinapress.. cant check whether driver mabuk or not because body already bbq-ed</description>

While authorities officially ruled her death a self-inflicted gunshot wound, several factors have contributed to the ongoing public debate and &amp;quot;intense scrutiny&amp;quot; surrounding the case. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In interviews and podcasts recorded prior to her death (notably in 2020 and 2021), Eskridge alleged that she and her team were being subjected to harassment and &amp;quot;psychological warfare&amp;quot; intended to stop her work on anti-gravity and exotic physics at the Institute for Exotic Science.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nuno Loureiro (Deceased)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('5d5b0918499a053acdc7c89737fabe26')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;5d5b0918499a053acdc7c89737fabe26&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;Loureiro died on December 15, 2025.

            <title>Honda to shut down 2 petrol car plants in China</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5561772</link>
            <description>&lt;a href='https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/honda-shut-two-plants-china-jointly-owned-with-gac-donfeng-toyo-keizai-says-2026-04-17/' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/...ays-2026-04-17/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;TOKYO, April 17 (Reuters) - &lt;b&gt;Honda Motor will slash petrol car production in China by shutting down one of its joint venture plants this year and possibly another next year&lt;/b&gt;, said two people familiar with the matter, highlighting its troubles in the world&amp;#39;s biggest auto market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Japan&amp;#39;s second-biggest automaker will halt ​operations at one of two petrol car plants jointly run with Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) in June, the people said. Honda ​is also considering suspending another plant owned with Dongfeng Motor Group next year, they added on condition ⁠of anonymity because the information was not public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The move would mark a further retreat by Honda in one of its key ​markets, as traditional automakers lose ground to fast-moving Chinese electric-vehicle makers and are forced to shrink legacy petrol operations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honda said the information ​was not announced by the company and there was nothing else it could add. GAC and Dongfeng did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Japanese magazine Toyo Keizai reported earlier on Friday that Honda planned to shut down both plants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honda has six vehicle plants through the two JVs in China. ​Both JVs have two internal combustion engine (ICE) plants with output capacity of 240,000 cars a year each as well as a smaller ​EV facility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Closing one ICE plant at each JV would halve Honda&amp;#39;s production capacity in China to about 480,000 petrol-powered cars a year from 960,000 ‌and cut ⁠its total annual capacity to roughly 720,000 vehicles from 1.2 million.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ROADER RESTRUCTURING&lt;br /&gt;The pullback follows Honda&amp;#39;s announcement last month that it was writing down the value of its China business as part of a broader overhaul of its EV strategy that includes up to &amp;#036;15.7 billion in restructuring costs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The charges are expected to lead the automaker to its first annual loss in nearly 70 years as a listed company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Honda has struggled ​in China to compete with ​electric, software-driven cars made by ⁠rivals such as BYD.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its&lt;b&gt; sales in the country fell about 24% in 2025 from a year earlier to just under 647,000 vehicles. That left its sales at nearly half of the more than ​1.2 million cars it sold in China in 2023.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honda had already lowered its annual production capacity ​in China from ⁠1.49 million to 1.2 million over the past years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the two people said Honda&amp;#39;s EV plants in Guangzhou and Wuhan would begin producing EVs and plug-in hybrids developed under the leadership of its Chinese JV partners from 2028 or later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GAC and Dongfeng are among Chinese automakers ⁠ramping up ​exports of China-made vehicles to markets such as Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle ​East and Africa, with both companies setting aggressive overseas sales targets for this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honda shares were last up 0.5%, outperforming a 1.0% decline in the Nikkei benchmark ​index&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2023 sold 1.2mil cars&lt;br /&gt;2025 drop to 600k cars  &lt;!--emo&amp;:shock:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/shocking.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='shocking.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;steering rack issue solved?</description>

Proton’s first electric vehicle — the Proton e.MAS 5 hatchback — has a starting price of about RM57,000, while Perodua invested RM800 million to develop the QV-E and officially launched it in December last year. The vehicle body is priced at RM80,000, while the battery must be leased at RM275 per month over nine years, bringing the total cost of the entire vehicle to over RM100,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Johari explained that both Proton and Perodua have achieved a localization rate of 50%. Proton sells about 150,000 units annually, while Perodua sells about 350,000 units, both of which are not small figures. “Moreover, these two companies have built most of the existing ecosystem of Malaysia’s automotive industry. In view of this, the government must protect them,&lt;/b&gt;” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to data from the Road Transport Department, Proton ranked first in February this year with 1,802 registered electric vehicles, followed by BYD with 469 units. Total EV registrations for the month reached 3,635 units, accounting for 7.9% of overall registrations. A report released last week by RHB Bank research stated that Perodua registered only one electric vehicle in February and none in January, possibly due to its EV pricing being higher than Proton’s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year, Malaysia’s automotive industry recorded a historic high of 820,752 units sold, achieving four consecutive years of growth. However, the Malaysian Automotive Association expects this growth momentum to be difficult to sustain, with sales projected to decline to 790,000 units in 2026, a drop of 3.75%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2025, Perodua topped the sales chart with 359,904 units sold, an increase of 0.5% from the previous year, while Proton recorded 157,976 units sold (including domestic and export), an increase of 3.3% compared to 2024. Perodua’s market share was close to 44%, while Proton’s stood at 19.4%, with the two companies together accounting for 63.2% of Malaysia’s domestic automotive market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;It remains unclear how the ministry’s decision will affect other Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers, including MG, Zeekr, and XPeng. These companies are reportedly planning to begin local assembly of electric vehicles in Malaysia after the tax incentives and subsidies for completely built-up (CBU) imported EVs expire this year.&lt;/b&gt; Starting from January, Malaysia has imposed a 30% import duty, 10% excise duty, and 10% sales tax on imported EVs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;When asked whether the plan by Chery to invest RM2.2 billion in building a 200-acre vehicle assembly plant in Hulu Selangor would proceed, Johari explained that the deal has already been completed and therefore will not change.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>

            <description>&lt;a href='https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/health/ukhsa-wet-wipe-warning-bacteria-33580004' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/healt...cteria-33580004&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;UKHSA wet wipe warning as bacteria in four brands linked to 62 illnesses and six deaths&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;The UK Health Security Agency has issued another alert today&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have issued an urgent warning urging the public to &lt;b&gt;avoid four specific brands of wet wipes after testing found they contained a potentially fatal bacterium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;These brands have been linked to 62 reported illnesses and six deaths across the UK. &lt;/b&gt;Members of the public have been advised not to use four specified non-sterile alcohol-free wipe products under any circumstances, owing to an ongoing infection risk associated with their use, reports the Mirror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a recent post on X published today (March 12), the UKHSA stated: &amp;quot;Burkholderia found in certain wipes. #Burkholderia is a bacteria that rarely causes harm in healthy people but sometimes causes serious infections, particularly for those with certain medical conditions or managing IV lines at home.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The agency added: &amp;quot;If you own any of these eipes, we remind you to stop using them. These products should not be used, please check your first aid kits and if you find any, dispose of them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During outbreak investigations in 2025, the following products were found to be contaminated with Burkholderia. These four products should not be used under any circumstances:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[twt]https://twitter.com/UKHSA/status/2032044564786114765[/twt]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There have been 59 confirmed cases of Burkholderia stabilis linked to certain non-sterile alcohol-free wipe products. This was identified during an outbreak in the United Kingdom that began in January 2018 and continued until February 3, 2026.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A small number of cases continue to be identified. Some of these cases have been severe, requiring hospital treatment, and one death has been linked to Burkholderia stabilis infection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burkholderia stabilis is a naturally occurring bacterium that typically does not cause illness in healthy individuals. The risk of infection remains very low for most people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, those with compromised immune systems, individuals with underlying health conditions such as cystic fibrosis, and patients with intravenous lines at home face a greater risk of infection. To date, there has been no evidence of the bacteria being transmitted between people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MHRA issued notices to retailers in July 2025, prompting the withdrawal of these products from sale. However, some of these items may still be present in first-aid kits and households.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are urged to check their homes for these wipes, particularly in first-aid kits. Anyone in possession of any of the affected products should cease using them immediately and dispose of them in their regular household waste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Alison Cave, MHRA Chief Safety Officer, said: &amp;quot;Patient safety is the MHRA’s top priority. The MHRA issued notices to sellers of specific products in July, resulting in their withdrawal from sale. If you have any wipes at home or work, double check they are labelled ‘sterile’ before using on broken skin. Follow the advice of your clinical team, GP or community nurse in the care of your intravenous line.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;What are the symptoms of a Burkholderia stabilis infection?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Symptoms can vary depending on the site and severity of infection. But they can include the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Symptoms of a wound infection can include redness, swelling, increased pain, warmth around a wound or break in skin, and pus or other drainage from the wound/break in skin.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Symptoms of infection involving an intravenous line can include redness, swelling, or pain around the insertion site/or fever and chills.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; In more serious cases, symptoms are associated with bloodstream infection (sepsis). Sepsis has many possible symptoms, including confusion, a rash, and difficulty breathing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have concerns about a wound that is not healing properly or you develop a fever after an injury, the UKHSA advises you to &amp;quot;contact NHS 111 immediately&amp;quot;. If you have an intravenous line and have any concerns you should contact your care team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HDNFvwFWUAA7QQF.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
