Genting Road Rage: Two drivers fight during downhill journey
User @gilerkentangofficial documented the alarming confrontation between drivers of a Proton Satria Neo and Honda City as they descended the popular Pahang hill station.
The footage reveals a series of dangerous maneuvers as both vehicles engaged in aggressive driving behaviors.
The Honda City operator initially passed the Proton before repeatedly applying brakes in an apparent attempt to antagonise the other driver.
The risky behavior created hazardous conditions for other motorists, with several vehicles forced to make unsafe overtaking maneuvers to avoid the feuding pair. The situation intensified when both cars nearly collided with an oncoming Mini Cooper traveling at high speed.
Eventually, both drivers pulled to the roadside where their dispute escalated into physical violence. Intervention from other individuals present helped prevent the altercation from worsening significantly.
The incident resulted in minor injuries to both parties and visible damage to their respective vehicles.
Without additional context about the initial cause of the dispute, netizens have been left to theorize about what triggered the dangerous encounter, while other called on the authorities to take action against both drivers.

Family seeks justice after drunk driver charged lightly in marathon runner's death
The late Sue Lynn. KOTA KINABALU (Aug 12): The family of marathon runner Sue Lynn is urging authorities to reinstate a more serious charge against a driver accused of causing her death in a drunk-driving incident. On 29 January 2025, at about 6am, the 44-year-old athlete was fatally struck by a Honda City while running towards Donggongon Shopping Mall. The driver, a 21-year-old man, was alleged to have been intoxicated. Police initially investigated the case under Section 44(1) of the Road Transport Act — drunken driving causing death — but the driver was later charged only under Section 45A, which covers drunken driving without causing harm or death. Through legal counsel M.S. Shah & Associates, the family is seeking to have the charge amended back to Section 44(1). The case was first mentioned at the Magistrate's Court here on 11 July 2025, with the second mention set for 21 August 2025. Sue Lynn, a mother and dedicated athlete, had been training for upcoming marathons with hopes of competing internationally. Her death has prompted calls for stronger road safety measures and better protection for joggers in Sabah. The family is appealing for public support in sharing her story, media coverage to raise awareness, and for authorities to ensure justice is served.

#SHOWBIZ: Mimi Lana: We must go all out against bullying
KUALA LUMPUR: Angered by the growing number of student deaths from bullying, actress Mimi Lana has urged Malaysians to take a strong stand against this "crime against humanity". In a Threads post yesterday, the Mencari Ramlee star highlighted the tragic death of student Zara Qairina in Sabah, saying that it proves bullying is rapidly becoming a serious social problem. Mimi, 30, mentioned that she frequently sees viral videos on social media showing students being bullied. "Bullying is a serious threat to the country that can no longer be ignored," she wrote. "On my FYP (For You Page on TikTok), I've seen more than 10 videos recorded by bullies from different schools. My heart is shattered, as are the hearts of so many parents who have lost their children, their hope for the future. These monsters must pay!" Mimi called on the government to treat bullying as a national threat to well-being, on par with other violent crimes. "We must have an all-out war against bullying. I salute the thousands who recently showed solidarity with the victims; we must ensure this never happens again." She concluded her message with the hashtags #JusticeForZara, along with other anti-bullying slogans like Stop Bullying, Save Our Children, and Justice For All Victims. Last Saturday, thousands of people gathered in major towns across Sabah to demand justice for Zara Qairina, a Form One student whose death has caused a nationwide outcry. The rallies took place hours after the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) announced that Zara's grave would be exhumed for a second post-mortem. Zara's body was found on the ground floor of her religious school dormitory in Papar on July 16, and she was pronounced dead the following day at Queen Elizabeth I Hospital in Kota Kinabalu. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has pledged a full and transparent investigation, saying that "no one is above the law."
