Penang go down 3-0 to T'ganu in Super League opener
Penang and Terengganu players tussle for the ball during their Super League match. - Photo: Bernama PETALING JAYA: After three years, Penang opened their Super League campaign at the City Stadium in George Town, but it was not a night to remember for the Panthers. The side coached by Wan Rohaimi Wan Ismail were toppled by Terengganu 3-0 in a wet affair, thanks to a slight drizzle, on Sunday (Aug 10). The first half was entertaining with the Turtles having the most attacks with French striker Yan Mabella and Brazilian winger Gabriel Silva proving to be livewires and causing problems for the Penang defence. Terengganu had about eight chances in the match but Penang's veteran goalkeeper Khairulazhan Khalid was calm and composed with a series of strong saves. However, there were questionable calls in terms of officiating as Terengganu could have had two penalties, while Penang one, but all the calls were waved away by referee Khairulsyahmi Ahmad Khalidi. The breakthrough came in the 49th minute when centreback Safwan Mazlan split the Penang backline with a superb pass to Azam Azmi Murad, who drove forward and drilled a low shot past Khairulazhan. Six minutes later, Mabella slid in a clever through ball for Silva, whose quick toe-poke slipped beyond Khairulazhan's reach to double Terengganu's lead. Penang's best chance came in the 73rd minute when Bosnian winger Danilo Sipovac curled a stunning right-footed effort from the edge of the box, only to be denied by an acrobatic save from Terengganu goalkeeper Suhaimi Hussin. The result handed Terengganu a confident start to their campaign, while Penang were left to reflect on missed opportunities and the challenge ahead. Substitute winger Khala'if Naskam scored his first goal of the campaign with his first touch, when he finished off a Baqiuddin Shamsuddin's through pass with a deft finish in the 88th minute. The result handed Terengganu a confident start to their campaign, while Penang were left to reflect on missed opportunities and the challenge ahead.

Beauty queen claims another mountain record
Iron woman: Harveen posing with the Jalur Gemilang at the Everest Base Camp. — Photo taken from Harveen's Instagram KUALA LUMPUR: Mrs Malaysia World 2017 Datin Harveen Kaur has completed back-to-back climbs to the Everest Base Camp and summit of Island Peak in a single Himalayan expedition, earning her a second entry in the Malaysia Book of Records. Sharing the good news, she said she reached the base camp on May 16, before successfully summiting Island Peak, also known as Imja Tse, on May 20. On Aug 7, the Malaysia Book of Records recognised her as the 'First Beauty Queen to Complete Back-to-Back Everest Base Camp and Island Peak' climbs. Everest Base Camp (5,364m) in Nepal's Khumbu region serves as the gateway for climbers attempting to climb Mount Everest. Nearby Island Peak (6,189m), a striking trekking peak accessible from Imja Valley, is a popular challenge for mountaineers and trekkers alike. The latest feat marks Harveen's second record-setting achievement, Bernama reported. In September 2023, she became the 'First Beauty Queen to Summit Mount Kilimanjaro', Africa's highest peak at 5,895m. Her mountaineering journey has also taken her to Mera Peak (6,476m) in Nepal, which she scaled on April 11, 2024. That expedition came at a cost – she lost her left middle finger to frostbite. In the spirit of National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations, Harveen urged Malaysians to strive for excellence in all they set out to achieve. 'Let's make our nation stand out in the world by scaling new heights in our pursuits,' she said.
