Malaysia Rugby raises import player quota to seven for 2025 Agong's Cup
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Rugby (MR) has decided to increase the number of import players allowed to compete in the 2025 Agong's Cup from four to seven players. MR secretary-general Fahmy Abd Jalil said the decision was agreed upon during the union's annual general meeting (AGM) following requests from several affiliate members to increase the import player quota for the tournament. 'We have made a resolution to allow teams participating in the Agong's Cup to increase the number of import players. Previously, only four players were permitted, but for this edition, we have raised it to seven. 'This follows proposals from several affiliate members to increase the number of import players to make the tournament more competitive and provide teams with more player options,' he told Bernama today. Fahmy said MR has sent invitation letters to states to participate in the tournament, which is expected to kick off in mid-August. Meanwhile, Fahmy said the AGM also discussed plans to revive the Malaysian Rugby League (MRL) in 2026. 'All affiliate members unanimously agreed to bring back the MRL in 2026. However, it will depend on financial allocations and budget,' he said. The MRL, introduced in 2004, features prominent national clubs such as Cobra, Keris Conlay, NS Wanderers, Eagles, Serdang Angels, Asas RFC and Bandaraya Dragons. The league was last held in 2019.

Abang Johari: Sarawak-Brunei to move ahead with new CIQ complex project at Kampung Pandam
MIRI, June 14 — The Sarawak government has agreed in principle to the construction of a new Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex at Kampung Pandam in Limbang, near the border with Brunei Darussalam, said Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg. The proposed facility aims to improve cross-border connectivity, enhance security cooperation, and boost economic integration between Malaysia and Brunei. Abang Johari said the CIQ project was among the key topics discussed during recent bilateral engagements between the two nations. 'We have agreed in principle to upgrade the existing ICQ facilities at Kampung Pandam. This development will not only support smoother mobility for citizens of both Sarawak and Brunei Darussalam, but more importantly, strengthen the economic ties between our regions,' he said during a working visit to the Sungai Limbang Bridge site today. He noted the timing was appropriate, as the second Sungai Limbang Bridge is expected to be completed by April next year. The CIQ Pandam-Lumapas project has been under discussion at both the federal and Bruneian government levels, with ongoing negotiations to ensure readiness on both sides before implementation. Once completed, the new route will significantly shorten travel time between Limbang and Brunei. The journey is expected to take just 30 minutes – 15 minutes from Limbang to CIQ Pandam, and another 15 minutes from CIQ Lumapas to central Brunei. Accompanying the Premier on the site visit were State Minister of Utility and Telecommunications, Datuk Seri Julaihi Narawi; Deputy Minister of Transport, Datuk Hasbi Habibollah; State Deputy Minister of Food Industry, Commodities and Regional Development, Datuk Abdul Rahman Ismail; Batu Danau assemblyman Datuk Paulus Palu Gumbang; State Secretary Datuk Amar Abu Bakar Marzuki; and Limbang Division Resident, Unos Tambi. Earlier, Abang Johari also made a visit to the Limbang Museum. — The Borneo Post
