SYDNEY : Australian police have seized drugs worth 170 million US dollars and guns in a raid on a group likely linked to an attempted organised crime hit near a Sydney daycare facility last week. New South Wales police last week said they had foiled an attempted murder by a so-called kill team and arrested three men involved. Police have now taken possession of some 400 kilograms of drugs in a major bust targeting a transnational criminal syndicate they said was likely linked to that foiled hit. Detectives found vacuum-sealed bricks of methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin stuffed inside duffel bags and stashed at Sydney safe houses. They estimated the haul had a street value of 260 million Australian dollars. Police said the raids were part of a broader operation to dismantle a transnational network believed to be run out of Southeast Asia. Organised Crime Squad Commander Peter Faux told local media the syndicate was highly likely linked to last week’s attempted killing. He said they believe highly likely there are some links between certain entities around that incident that occurred last week. Faux also said there were potentially some links to the abduction and killing in April of a Sydney mother over her husband’s alleged connections to a Vietnamese-linked organised crime network. Supplied police images showed a squad of armed officers searching one of the hideouts. Sealed drug packages littered the floor, emblazoned with a picture of a cartoon bear made famous in the 2012 Mark Wahlberg comedy Ted. Another bag featured red Chinese characters reading smooth sailing. They also seized three pistols and more than 300 rounds of ammunition. Three men aged between 19 and 26 were arrested and charged with a raft of drug supply offences. Cashed-up Australians are willing to pay some of the highest prices in the world for drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamine. This lucrative black market has increasingly drawn the attention of sophisticated criminal networks spanning the Triads of Southeast Asia to the cartels of South America. – AFP

PERSATUAN Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM) telah memfailkan rayuan rasmi kepada Persekutuan Bolasepak Antarabangsa (FIFA) berhubung keputusan tatatertib isu dokumentasi kelayakan tujuh pemain kebangsaan.Pemangku Presiden FAM, Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mahadi berkata, pihaknya bertindak pantas setelah menerima penghakiman penuh FIFA pada 7 Oktober lepas dengan pasukan perundangan FAM menyiapkan segala dokumen untuk diserahkan sebelum tarikh akhir.Beliau berkata, persediaan memfailkan rayuan dilakukan dengan teliti bagi mengelakkan sebarang masalah timbul pada peringkat seterusnya."Sudah tentu apabila kita mengemukakan rayuan harapan kita supaya rayuan diterima, memperoleh keputusan positif dan berpihak kepada kita."Proses rayuan ini seperti pusingan kedua untuk kami dan tentu sekali persiapan lebih baik, kemas dan teliti, ia tidak dibuat sambil lewa atau pun secara terdesak," katanya ketika ditemui pada aksi Kumpulan F pusingan Kelayakan Piala Asia 2027 antara Malaysia dan Laos di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil pada Selasa.Bulan lepas, FAM dan tujuh pemain warisan negara iaitu Gabriel Felipe Arrocha, Facundo Garces, Rodrigo Holgado, Imanol Machuca, Joao Figueiredo, Jon Irazabal dan Hector Hevel dikenakan tindakan oleh Jawatankuasa Tatatertib FIFA selepas didapati melanggar Perkara 22 Kod Tatatertib FIFA (FDC) berkaitan pemalsuan dokumen.Dalam satu kenyataan, FIFA memaklumkan bahawa FAM telah menyerahkan dokumen palsu bagi mengesahkan kelayakan pemain berkenaan, yang membolehkan mereka beraksi dalam perlawanan pusingan ketiga Kelayakan Piala Asia 2027 menentang Vietnam pada 10 Jun.Sehubungan itu, FAM dikenakan denda CHF350,000 (kira-kira RM1.8 juta) manakala setiap pemain didenda CHF2,000 (kira-kira RM10,560) serta digantung 12 bulan daripada semua aktiviti berkaitan bola sepak, berkuat kuasa mulai tarikh notifikasi keputusan tersebut.FAM dalam kenyataan sebelum ini bagaimanapun memaklumkan bahawa pihaknya mengenal pasti wujud kesilapan teknikal dalam proses penyerahan dokumen tujuh pemain berkenaan yang dilakukan oleh petugas pentadbiran.FAM sebelum ini turut dilaporkan tidak menolak kemungkinan membawa perkara itu ke Mahkamah Timbang Tara Sukan (CAS) sekiranya rayuan di peringkat FIFA tidak membuahkan hasil.Dalam perkembangan berasingan, Mohd Yusoff berkata, FAM menyerahkan kepada Jawatankuasa Tatatertib untuk mengambil langkah seterusnya mengenai kenyataan ketua jurulatih skuad kebangsaan, Peter Cklamovski yang dikatakan mengkritik badan induk itu baru-baru ini.Mohd Yusoff berkata, beliau secara peribadi menerima permohonan maaf yang telah dibuat pengendali dari Australia itu, namun menjelaskan FAM tertakluk kepada statut yang seharusnya dihormati. - Bernama
ALL 18 national athletes competing in the 2025 SEA Games will sit for their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examinations after the regional sporting event concludes. Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh confirmed that 17 government school candidates will take their SPM exams at the National Sports Council in Bukit Jalil following the games. One private candidate will submit a direct application to the Examination Board, with the Ministry of Education coordinating the process. “The National Sports Council has discussed with the Ministry of Education to finalise the schedule where they will compete first and then 17 candidates will sit for the SPM exam at MSN,“ she said at a press conference today. Hannah emphasised her ministry’s commitment to ensuring all 18 athletes can focus on representing Malaysia while not missing their crucial examinations. The National Sports Council will collaborate with the Education Ministry’s Examination Board to facilitate the athletes’ exam process. The 2025 SEA Games will be held from December 9-20 in Thailand across three regions: Bangkok, Chonburi and Songkhla. SPM examinations are scheduled to run from November 3 to December 23 this year. Contingent chief de mission Nurul Huda Abdullah had previously expressed concern about the scheduling conflict between the games and examinations. Hannah was speaking at the launch of the AEON Credit SIC Racing MSI team featuring national rider Muhammad Hakim Danish, who will make his Moto3 debut at the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix from October 24-26. – Bernama

THE HAGUE : Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders announced his return to campaigning on Wednesday after suspending public appearances due to jihadist-inspired threats. Wilders confirmed his campaign restart on social media platform X as the Netherlands approaches October 29 elections. Belgian authorities arrested three individuals last week for allegedly planning terrorist attacks against political figures using drone-mounted explosives. The anti-Islam politician halted campaigning after learning he was targeted alongside Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever. Wilders cancelled several high-profile television and radio debates but pledged to resume media appearances. His Freedom Party shocked Dutch politics by winning the 2023 elections and forming a fragile four-party coalition. That coalition government collapsed earlier this year following immigration disputes initiated by Wilders himself. Current polls show Wilders’ PVV leading but many voters remain undecided two weeks before the election. All other mainstream parties have ruled out coalition partnerships with Wilders again. The far-right leader has lived under constant police protection for twenty years due to numerous death threats. Wilders expressed on X that he no longer remembers the feeling of personal freedom after decades of security measures. He noted the profound personal and family impact of continuous security that outsiders struggle to understand. A Green-left coalition led by former European Commission Vice-President Frans Timmermans trails behind the PVV in polling. Centre-right CDA party under rising star Henri Bontenbal also competes in the fragmented political landscape. The second-place finisher on October 29 will likely provide the next prime minister as parties distance themselves from Wilders. Immigration dominates campaign discussions with protests against asylum-seeker centres sometimes turning violent. Netherlands’ persistent housing crisis and high living costs also rank highly among voter concerns. Forming a new coalition government will require months of negotiation regardless of the October 29 outcome. – AFP

KUALA LUMPUR - Mahkamah Tinggi di sini pada Rabu membenarkan permohonan seorang ahli perniagaan iaitu Datuk Seri R Jeyenderan untuk mendapatkan injunksi inter-parte dalam saman fitnahnya terhadap penyanyi rap, Caprice.Hakim Roslan Mat Nor turut memerintahkan Caprice, atau nama sebenarnya Ariz Ramli, membayar RM8,000 sebagai kos kepada Jeyenderan dalam tempoh dua minggu.Mahkamah kemudian menetapkan 1 Disember ini sebagai pengurusan kes.Terdahulu, mahkamah mendengar hujahan peguam V Muniandy, Fiona Aurelia Culas dan Muhammad Afiq Yahawa yang mewakili ahli perniagaan itu serta peguam Muhammad Amar Shaaruddin, yang mewakili Caprice.Pada 5 Ogos lepas, Mahkamah Tinggi membenarkan injunksi ad-interim yang dimohon Jeyenderan terhadap Caprice dan memerintahkan defendan agar segera memadan semua hantaran berunsur fitnah terhadap plaintif daripada akaun Instagram beliau, yang dimuat naik pada Julai.Injunksi ad interim adalah perintah sementara yang diberikan oleh mahkamah sebelum perbicaraan penuh atau permohonan injunksi utama diputuskan manakala permohonan injunksi inter-parte pula membolehkan mahkamah mendengar hujahan kedua-dua pihak.Jeyenderan, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif sebuah syarikat perkapalan, telah memfailkan saman itu pada 21 Julai lepas mendakwa defendan pada 10 Julai telah memuat naik beberapa hantaran di Instagram termasuk gambar serta video dirinya, yang didakwa mengaitkan beliau dengan aktiviti jenayah, gengsterisme dan ancaman bersenjata tanpa bukti yang sahih.Berdasarkan pernyataan tuntutan, plaintif berkata, hantaran berunsur fitnah tersebut adalah bertujuan menimbulkan syak wasangka, kebencian awam dan tekanan sosial terhadap dirinya, dan defendan tidak pernah menghubungi beliau atau wakilnya untuk mendapatkan pengesahan atau penjelasan sebelum menerbitkan dakwaan yang serius itu.Jeyenderan mendakwa tindakan Caprice jelas menunjukkan bahawa defendan tidak mempunyai niat untuk menyampaikan maklumat yang adil dan tepat sebaliknya bertujuan mencemarkan nama baik serta reputasi beliau dan menyatakan bahawa penyanyi rap berkenaan memiliki pengaruh besar di Instagram dengan lebih 1.5 juta pengikut.Akibat hantaran itu, Jeyenderan mendakwa reputasi beliau sebagai pakar perkapalan dan maritim bertaraf global telah terjejas serta mengalami kerugian khas berjumlah RM1 juta selepas kehilangan beberapa kontrak sebagai penceramah utama di Dubai, Turkey dan India yang ditawarkan oleh sebuah syarikat yang berpangkalan di Dubai.Sehubungan itu, plaintif menuntut ganti rugi sebanyak RM3 juta bagi kerosakan reputasi, ganti rugi khas, am serta teladan, kos dan relif lain yang difikirkan sesuai oleh mahkamah.Beliau turut memohon injunksi bagi menghalang defendan daripada mengeluarkan sebarang kenyataan fitnah selanjutnya, memaksa defendan memadam semua kandungan fitnah yang telah diterbitkan serta memohon maaf secara terbuka di semua akaun media sosial milik atau yang dikawal oleh defendan. - Bernama

The festival is poised to draw an estimated 35,000 visitors from across Malaysia, Brunei and Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Highlights include exhibitions of Kadayan ethnic traditional houses, displays of authentic costumes and traditional delicacies. The festival venue has shifted to the Labuan International Sea Sports Complex to accommodate larger crowds and provide a scenic waterfront setting. This move was endorsed by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. New night-time attractions include Glow in the Dark, Light of Borneo, Warisan Glow and a visual arts exhibition. These features will transform the island’s evenings into a celebration of light, music and movement. Dr Zaliha said the festival celebrates Borneo’s people, colours and creativity with new showcases for local and international guests.
