Bagan Datuk: Mayat dua mangsa yang dilapor hilang selepas terjatuh dari Jambatan Sultan Nazrin Shah, di sini, semalam ditemui terapung di Sungai Perak hari ini.

Mangsa pertama iaitu Mohd Nor Ferdaus Mohd Mokhtar, 42, ditemui pada sebelah pagi, manakala satu lagi membabitkan kanak-kanak lelaki berusia dua tahun, Wong Long Hee, ditemui beberapa jam kemudian.

Mereka antara tiga yang dilapor terjatuh dari jambatan itu ke Sungai Perak dalam dua kejadian berasingan semalam, dengan seorang daripadanya iaitu Lim Li Yin, 38, yang juga ibu kepada Long Hee disahkan meninggal dunia.

Ketua Polis Daerah Bagan Datuk, Superintendan Mohammad Ali Mohd Jali berkata mayat di perairan Bagan Datuk pada jam 11.59 pagi, kira-kira tujuh kilometer dari lokasi dia dipercayai terjatuh.

Beliau berkata, pihak keluarga sudah dipanggil ke lokasi untuk mengesahkan identiti mayat berkenaan.

"Mayat kemudian dibawa ke Jeti Jabatan Laut sebelum dihantar ke Hospital Teluk Intan untuk bedah siasat," katanya pada sidang media hari ini.

Semalam, media melaporkan Mohd Nor Ferdaus dipercayai terjatuh dari Jambatan Sultan Nazrin Shah dengan motosikal Modenas Z15 GT miliknya ditemui ditinggalkan di bahu jalan di bahagian tengah jambatan, sekali gus mencetuskan operasi mencari dan menyelamat (SAR).

Ketika operasi itu masih berlangsung, satu lagi kejadian berlaku apabila seorang wanita dan anaknya berusia dua tahun dilapor terjatuh.

Wanita itu ditemukan dalam keadaan terapung sebelum disahkan meninggal dunia di Hospital Teluk Intan.

Menurut Mohammad Ali, mayat Long Hee ditemukan pasukan SAR kira-kira jam 2 petang pada jarak lebih kurang 10km dari Jambatan Sultan Nazrin Shah.

Kejadian itu dipercayai yang pertama seumpamanya berlaku sejak Jambatan Sultan Nazrin Shah dibuka kepada orang ramai.

"Setakat ini, kami tidak pernah menerima laporan kejadian seumpama ini di jambatan berkenaan sebelum ini," katanya.

Tengok Sohai.

On July 16, in Guanhé Village, Yanjing Town, Yanjin County, Yunnan, a self-built private house on the riverbank suddenly collapsed, and an eyewitness captured the process of the house collapsing.

It's truly unbelievable, utterly incomprehensible!

If we say that past shoddy engineering projects usually appeared in government projects or public works, where the purpose was to cut corners, pass off inferior materials as good ones, and gain unjust profits by harming others, then from a human nature perspective, it could still make sense as treating others' interests and safety with disregard.

But this project was a self-built house belonging to the owner themselves—how could they mess around like this? This means treating their own interests and safety with the same disregard, which is just so hard to understand!

In this incident, their own corner-cutting ended up harming themselves, the relevant government departments' oversight was practically nonexistent, ultimately leading to the building collapsing, loss of assets, endangering not only their own safety but also posing a threat to public safety.

We really need to seriously reflect and self-examine on this!

New transport hub in KL mall to have 30 bus operators, service 3,000 passengers daily

https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news...assengers-daily

QUOTE

ABOUT 30 bus operators are expected to use a new transport hub located in a mall in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.

It is expected to serve about 3,000 passengers daily, with capacity to increase to 10,000.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh said the LaLaport Transportation Hub at Bukit Bintang City Centre provides express bus passengers with proper boarding and drop-off points.

She said based on Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) data, Kuala Lumpur recorded an average of 1.2 million vehicles entering the city daily, alongside 5.5 million journeys in and out of the capital.

"These figures show why urban mobility must remain a priority," she said when launching the hub on Thursday (July 16).

Licensed by the Land Public Transport Agency (Apad), the hub has been operating in phases since February.

It is located on Level LG1 of LaLaport BBCC’s East Atrium, and has 11 bus bays, an air-conditioned waiting lounge, ticketing counters, self-service machines and passenger information screens showing real-time bus schedules.

Its location next to the Hang Tuah interchange also allows passengers to connect to the LRT and Monorail networks through a sheltered pedestrian walkway.

The facility also provides shuttle van services to KL International Airport Terminals 1 and 2, demand-responsive transport (DRT) services, taxi and e-hailing pick-up and drop-off areas.

Heritage Players: EAIC Finds Irregularities.

EAIC recommends review of citizenship approvals for 7 heritage players
Task force identifies several irregularities, including issuance of entry permits, interviews and security screenings by the immigration department, and the Bahasa Melayu proficiency test.

https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/...eritage-players

QUOTE

PETALING JAYA: The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) has recommended a review of the citizenship approvals granted to seven naturalised Harimau Malaya players after a task force uncovered several irregularities in the process.

EAIC said the task force found that while the home minister had discretionary power to grant citizenship by naturalisation under Article 19 of the Federal Constitution, the requirements for special approval were considered within an “extremely short period” and in an irregular manner.

The irregularities include the issuance of entry permits, interviews and security screenings by the immigration department, and the Bahasa Melayu proficiency test administered by the national registration department (JPN) as part of the citizenship approval process, said EAIC in a statement.

It identified non-compliance in verifying that the applicants had been released from the citizenship of their countries of origin by the relevant foreign authorities, as well as failures to ensure the surrender of their original foreign passports to the immigration department.

EAIC also called for dedicated SOPs governing citizenship approvals under Article 19(2), including clearer guidelines on the exercise of ministerial discretion, mandatory renunciation of previous citizenship, and stricter security screenings.

“Acquiring Malaysian citizenship by naturalisation involves the national interest and national security. Therefore, all existing procedures must be strictly observed by the immigration department and JPN,” it said.

It also recommended that JPN introduce guidelines governing the registrar-general’s discretionary powers in issuing birth certificates under Section 10A of the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1957, ensuring that such discretion is exercised only after thorough due diligence and sufficient evidence that a birth has occurred.

Last October, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and seven naturalised Malaysian footballers were penalised by Fifa after the world football body said FAM had submitted falsified birth certificates to confirm the players’ eligibility before Malaysia’s 2027 Asian Cup qualifier against Vietnam last June.

A Fifa investigation found that falsified documents had been used to claim that each player had a grandparent born in Malaysia, although they were actually born in Spain, Argentina, Brazil and the Netherlands.

The players are Gabriel Felipe Arrocha, Facundo Tomas Garces, Rodrigo Julian Holgado, Imanol Javier Machuca, Joao Vitor Brandao Figueiredo, Jon Irazabal Iraurgui and Hector Alejandro Hevel Serrano.

In addition to slapping FAM with a fine of 350,000 Swiss francs (about RM1.8 million), Fifa fined each player 2,000 Swiss francs (about RM10,560) and suspended them for 12 months.

In March, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) partially upheld the appeal filed by the seven players, ruling that the ban be applied only for official matches instead of all football-related activities.

The panel found that the 12-month ban for falsifying documents was a reasonable and proportionate sanction for the players, given their complicit responsibility in the fraud.

The CAS also dismissed FAM’s appeal over Fifa’s fine, considering it justified and proportionate to the offence.

China warns of more extreme weather as Bavi leaves trail of rain, flooding
As northern regions log historic rainfall, experts caution that local storms are part of global chain of climate disasters

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/ar...l-rain-flooding

QUOTE

Chinese forecasters warned that more extreme weather was on the horizon as the country continued to battle the aftereffects of former typhoon Bavi on Wednesday.

Jilin province in the northeast issued an emergency alert on Tuesday night for flooding of multiple rivers. Authorities called for traffic controls, cautioned residents to stay home and ordered people near the rivers to evacuate.

Jilin weather authorities said that due to heavy rain, at least 10 cities in the foothills of the Changbai Mountains were at risk of landslides on Wednesday. The mountain range stretches across northeast China and into North Korea.

The National Meteorological Centre issued a yellow rainstorm alert, the third strongest in a four-tier warning system.

While the effects of Bavi were easing, forecasters said more storms were expected.

China’s State Council warned that another five or six typhoons would be generated in the northwest Pacific Ocean and South China Sea by the end of next month, with two or three making landfall or affecting the country.

Heavy rain and floods are expected in multiple regions through September, while Beijing, Tianjin, Fujian province, parts of Guangdong province and the autonomous regions of Tibet and Xinjiang are expected to get about 20 to 50 per cent more rain than usual, according to the State Council, China’s cabinet.

NEW DELHI: A 21-year-old medical student from Kerala was murdered in Uzbekistan by a fellow student following repeated attempts to force her to convert her religion, according to her family's complaint.

Sawariya Basanth, a first-year student at the Bukhara State Medical Institute, was allegedly killed by 22-year-old Sadarul Anam, also a student from Kerala's Malappuram district. Uzbek authorities have arrested Anam in connection with the case, local media reported.

Following the repatriation of Basanth's body, Indian authorities conducted a second post-mortem at Alappuzha Medical College Hospital on Thursday at the request of her family. Her relatives later performed her last rites.

Harippad Police in Kerala have registered a murder case based on a complaint filed by the victim's father.Station House Officer V Vishnu said the preliminary post-mortem findings indicated signs of physical assault.

"We are yet to get official details of the crime from law enforcement agencies in Uzbekistan. We will examine the legal standing of the case registered in Kerala for the crime recorded in Uzbekistan," Vishnu said.
