Hang Tuah first Malay to Vatican

30624770 — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 21:09:29 +0800

RIGHTIST scholar Dr Solehah Yaacob has staked claim that Hang Tuah – the legendary warrior, admiral (laksamana) and diplomat in traditional Malay literature and mythos – had during his lifetime sailed beyond China to as far as Mekkah, Turkey, Egypt and even Rome to meet the emperor with a Vatican City stop-over.

Brushing aside the perception of sceptics, the Arabic linguistic specialist whose contract was terminated by the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) effective April 27 is adamant that Hang Tuah existed and is neither myth nor legend as claimed by colonialist historical sources.

“Is a story labelled as a hikayat (saga/tale) necessarily untrue?” asked the Kelantan-born academician in an apparent prelude to her “Lost Malay Civilisation Seminar 5.0” slated for Nov 8-10 in Kuala Lumpur.

To fortify her argument, the controversial scholar has inadvertently cited Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh who recently stated that the National Archives plans to visit their Vatican counterpart to search for historical manuscripts or evidence that might link Hang Tuah to the spiritual and administrative heart of the Roman Catholic Church.

Additionally, Solehah whom academician and avid political commentator Prof James Chin touted as “good in fanning the ketuanan Melayu Islam (KMI) (literally, “Malay Muslim supremacy) agenda” also touched on the “Leonardo da Vinci connection”.

Apparently, researchers from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) have in recent years mooted a theory based on European manuscripts whereby they hypothesised that a historical letter or document written by a representative of the “Emperor of Rome” (believed by them to involve Leonardo da Vinci) made mention of a Malaccan “Laksamana Orang Muda” (young admiral).

However, historians emphasise that no actual record exists proving Hang Tuah ever set foot in Rome or Vatican City.

Even the late Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim (1937-2019) who is much revered in the rightist fraternity had in 2012 noted that there was no historical evidence of Hang Tuah’s tangible existence.

HK actress, 38 goes public with 22 yr old bf

30624770 — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 12:30:59 +0800

Hong Kong actress Snowy Bai publicly confirmed that she is in a relationship with her 22-year-old foreign boyfriend in an October 2026 Instagram post that showed them visiting various places together.

Also known by her real name Bai Yunfeng, the 38-year-old former TVB personality said in the post that she is born in 1988 and he is born in 2004.

Bai pointed out, however, that their 16-year age gap did not hinder their relationship.

"He's mature, and I'm childish," she wrote.

She also shared that her boyfriend lives in Europe while she lives in Asia, and though he speaks German and she speaks Mandarin, their English is improving,

Being in a cross-cultural relationship was tough, said Bai, adding that the couple had separated for a long time in between.

She noted that despite the challenges they faced, they shared similar interests.

Prior to this relationship, she was previously married to Hong Kong architect Kelvin Kong, Dimsum Daily reported.

According to Sing Tao Headline, the five-year marriage eventually ended in divorce in 2021 due to factors such as Kong's family reportedly disapproving of her sharing "sexy photos" online.

Kong reportedly once wrote that sexiness is her favourite thing, and it was something inherent in her.

"Being yourself is the least shameful thing in the world."

KL Is Now The World’s Most Polluted City

30624770 — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 10:45:13 +0800

Kuala Lumpur has climbed to the top of IQAir's live ranking of the world's most polluted major cities, with its air quality reaching the "Very Unhealthy" category as haze blankets the city
According to IQAir's live World Air Quality Ranking, Kuala Lumpur recorded an AQI of 211 as of this morning, 7 October, putting it ahead of Dhaka, Bangladesh, which was in second place with 182, and Jakarta, Indonesia, with 171.

The gap is significant, with KL sitting 29 points above Dhaka in the ranking.

An AQI above 200 falls within the "Very Unhealthy" range, meaning the health risk is elevated for the general population, rather than being limited to people who are particularly sensitive to air pollution.

KL was not the only Southeast Asian city appearing near the top of the Swiss air quality technology company's live ranking.

Singapore was ranked fifth with an AQI of 166, while Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi in Vietnam recorded AQIs of 155 and 152, respectively.

Kuching also appeared high on the list, ranking 11th with an AQI of 138.

The concentration of Southeast Asian cities near the top of the ranking comes as the region experiences deteriorating air quality, although the live IQAir ranking itself does not establish the specific source of the pollution.

However, Malaysians have been choking on transboundary haze since August this year as Indonesia's fires continue to burn across parts of Sumatra and Kalimantan.

At this level of pollution, residents may want to limit prolonged or strenuous outdoor activity, particularly if they experience symptoms such as coughing, throat irritation or difficulty breathing.

Keeping windows and doors closed can help reduce the amount of outdoor pollution entering homes, while air purifiers with HEPA filters can help remove fine particles indoors.

People who have to spend extended periods outdoors may also consider using a well-fitting N95 or equivalent respirator, which is designed to filter fine particulate matter more effectively than ordinary surgical masks.

19-year-old student dies after strangulation

30624770 — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 19:47:27 +0800

KUANTAN: A 19-year-old student was found dead, believed to have been strangled following an argument with her boyfriend, at a house in Air Putih.

The 19-year-old man, who was at the premises when police arrived, has been detained for investigation.

Kuantan police chief Assistant Commissioner Ashari Abu Samah said the suspect alerted police at 4.32am about the incident.

"The victim was found lying unconscious on a bed on the ground floor of the house.

"Checks found signs of pressure around the victim's neck, and she was pronounced dead by medical personnel.

"The suspect was detained at the scene. Investigations found that the incident was believed to have stemmed from a misunderstanding between the suspect and the victim," he said in a statement.

He said the Kuantan magistrate's court here had granted a seven-day remand order against the suspect until Oct 12.

Ashari said the case was being investigated for murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries the death penalty or a jail term of between 30 and 40 years, and not fewer than 12 strokes of the rotan upon conviction.

"Those with information are urged to come forward to assist in the investigation. The public is advised not to spread unverified information," he said.

Ashari said a post-mortem would be conducted at Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital to determine the cause of death.
