Herry says shuttlers are recharged after Genting break
KUALA LUMPUR: Herry IP believes in tough training but the Indonesian coaching legend doesn't mind letting his players take a short break.
ith the hectic second half of the World Tour about to start in a fortnight, Herry said that the one-day getaway to Genting Highlands on Friday had rejuvenated the entire team.
World No. 2 Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and world No. 7 Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun gave the team a treat following their success in winning three World Tour titles recently.
"The short break away from the city is a good way to relax and rejuvenate," said Herry who also went to Genting with his assistant Muhhamad Miftakh.
"Just a dinner and the seniors were motivating the younger pairs. It was good to see them appreciating each other. Such breaks once in a while make them fresh and it also brings them closer.

Highly-rated Rayyan shines for Indonesia's BTR
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian teenager Muhd Ar-Rayyan Uraymartin played a key role in helping Indonesian side Bigetron Alpha (BTR) secure third place at the PUBG Mobile Hong Kong Invitational (PMHI) on Sunday (June 29). The podium finish saw the 16-year-old from Kuching, Sarawak, and his teammates walk away with HK$300,000 (RM162,000) in prize money. BTR accumulated 140 points across 21 Games played over three days of intense competition at the AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. China's Weibo Gaming topped the standings with 163 points, while Brazil's Influence Rage finished second on 158 points. Malaysian outfit Alliance staged a commendable comeback on the final day, climbing from 15th to ninth in the overall standings. They closed the campaign with 116 points, bolstered by a victory in Round 19. Rayyan's rise has been nothing short of meteoric. He made his competitive debut at the PUBG Mobile National Championship (PMNC) Summer in May, where he was named the final stage's Most Valuable Player after recording 46 eliminations and dealing 6,329 damage. Although his team, DX NSZ, failed to qualify for the PUBG Mobile Super League (PMSL) SEA Summer, Rayyan's performance caught the attention of several top-tier organisations. While many expected him to sign with Malaysian heavyweights SEM9 or Alliance, it was Indonesian giants BTR who secured his signature ahead of the PMSL SEA Summer in Jakarta two weeks ago. Rayyan showed flashes of brilliance during the tournament, but BTR struggled overall, finishing 13th out of 16 teams in the Grand Finals on home soil. Their resurgence in Hong Kong, however, suggests promising signs ahead of the Fall season, scheduled to begin in two months.

Indonesian transport ministry acts to prevent flight disruptions amid Middle East conflict
JAKARTA (Bernama-ANTARA): The Indonesian government has taken steps to mitigate potential flight disruptions caused by escalating conflict in the Middle East by coordinating with aviation stakeholders, including airlines and air traffic controllers, ANTARA news agency reported. In a statement issued on Sunday, Director General of Air Transport at the Ministry of Transportation, Lukman Laisa, said the ministry continues to monitor the Middle East situation closely to prevent any impact on Indonesia's flight operations. He said the ministry is working with state-run air navigation provider AirNav Indonesia, national airlines, and civil aviation authorities in relevant countries to ensure safe and seamless flight operations, particularly those that pass through Middle Eastern airspace. Laisa noted that, based on the latest Flight Information Region (FIR) data, several airspaces and flight routes in the region remain closed due to security concerns. "The eastern part of the Tehran FIR, parts of the Tel Aviv FIR, the Dubai FIR, and the Cairo FIR are still closed," he said. The ministry has reminded Indonesian airlines to monitor conditions regularly and adjust flight plans when necessary, especially for Hajj flights, which commonly transit the region. The public has been advised to remain calm and follow official updates from airlines and flight authorities. "Updates will be provided regularly based on real-time conditions," Laisa added. Meanwhile, flag carrier Garuda Indonesia resumed its regular Jakarta-Doha route on Saturday after Qatar reopened its airspace. Several other international airlines, including Qatar Airways, have also resumed flights to and from Qatar following the recent escalation. - Bernama-ANTARA
