She highlighted the government's strong support for MotoGP due to its positive impact on tourism and local engagement. - Bernama

Sultan of Selangor unveils Marine Dept's Light Dues Tower
Maritime milestone: Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah (centre) taking a closer look at the model of the Light Dues Tower. Looking on is Amirudin (left). — KK SHAM/The Star PORT KLANG: Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah officiated the Malaysian Marine Department's (MMD) Light Dues Tower at its headquarters here yesterday. The Sultan was accompanied by Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Amirudin Shari, Transport Minister Anthony Loke and Marine director-general Datuk Dickson Dollah. The Light Dues Tower is a milestone in the government's commitment to strengthening maritime infrastructure by driving technological innovation and fostering collaboration with stakeholders to ensure the nation's maritime trade remains safe, efficient and sustainable. Meanwhile, Loke, in his speech at the event, said that the 12-storey RM93.68mil tower is equipped with an accredited Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) centre that complies with the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) standards. He said the MMD's VTS complies with IALA international standards and plays an active role in shaping the standards at the global level. 'The Malaysian Marine Department is the architect of Malaysian waters globally. With this better facility, it is hoped the Malaysian Marine Department will continue playing its pivotal role as the pioneering agency in taking care of the safety and sustainability of the country's maritime environment,'' he added. Loke says the VTS centre's role in the tower is vital to maritime safety as it monitors the movement of thousands of ships every day and provides navigation information and early warnings of potential dangers. Anthony also said that the Strait of Malacca was one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, with an average of about 200 ships per day plying its route. 'This amazing number includes giant oil tankers, container cargo ships and various other types of merchant ships that carried about one-fifth of the total global trade,' said Loke. Given this, added Loke, the existence and operational efficiency of the VTS was a crucial defensive wall in preventing ship collisions, managing maritime emergencies, such as oil spills or stranded ships, and ensuring the smooth flow of maritime trade. 'Without an efficient and modern VTS system, the risk of accidents at sea will increase significantly, which could affect the country's economy, pollute the environment, and threaten lives,' he said. The construction of the tower began in December 2017 and was completed in 2021/ It officially started operations in 2024. The architectural concept of the Light Dues Tower was designed to resemble a cruise ship, symbolising the MMD's role as the leader of the nation's maritime sector. The construction was funded under the provisions of the Federation Light Dues Act 1953.

Jun Hao gets rare chance to spar with Antonsen as part of world reparations
Raring to go: Based on the World Championships draw released on Wednesday, Anders Antonsen could be Leong Jun Hao's opponent in the last eight if both go that far. PETALING JAYA: It's not often that a player gets to spar with a potential opponent before facing him on one of badminton's biggest stages. But men's singles shuttler Leong Jun Hao will have that rare opportunity when he trains with world No. 2 Anders Antonsen of Denmark ahead of the World Championships from Aug 25-31 in Paris. Jun Hao will head to Copenhagen for a training camp from Aug 18-22 where Antonsen is expected to be present, before the Malaysian makes his debut in the world meet. Based on the draw released on Wednesday, world No. 25 Jun Hao could go up against Antonsen if both reach the last eight. Singles coaching director Kenneth Jonassen believes the sparring sessions are a crucial part of Jun Hao's preparations for the world meet. 'Jun Hao's preparations so far have been good but as always the final 10 days before the tournament are very important,' said Jonassen. 'The training camp is crucial as we can fine tune many details there. We will have high quality real match play and the intensity will be even higher. 'I believe Anders will be there (in Copenhagen) during the training session,' he said. Despite starting as the underdog, Jonassen believes Jun Hao has a good chance to go far in Paris. The 26-year-old has been given a favourable start in the competition as he will avoid the world's top 10 players in the first two rounds. Jun Hao should have no problems beating Switzerland's Tobias Kuenzi in his opening match before a meeting with either Japan's world No. 14 Kenta Nishimoto or Taiwan's world No. 28 Wang Tzu-wei in the second round. The going gets tougher for the 2017 Asian Junior champion if he makes it into the third round as he could face another Taiwanese, world No. 6 Chou Tien-chen. 'I think we can be happy with this draw. There are chances if Jun Hao can play at his very highest level and stay consistent,' said Jonassen. Meanwhile, another Malaysian men's singles representative Lee Zii Jia will be making his much awaited comeback in the prestigious meet after a long injury layoff. Zii Jia has been struggling with an ankle injury this year and last competed in the All-England in March. The independent player will open his campaign in Paris against South Korea's world No. 38 Jeon Hyeok-jin. If he gets past Hyeok-jin, Zii Jia could take on China's world No. 4 Li Shifeng in the second round.
