Teen missing in Melaka forest while searching for cows found weak but safe after 32 hours
KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 — A 15-year-old boy with a learning disability who went missing while looking for cattle in a forested area near Kampung Permatang Pasir, Alai, was found safe early this morning after more than 32 hours. According to the New Straits Times, Muhamad Aidil Asyraf Fadli was found lying in the undergrowth behind a house about 600 metres from the Fire and Rescue Department's control post at 2.08am. 'He was given initial treatment by medical personnel at the scene before being handed over to the police for further action,' said Melaka Fire and Rescue Department public relations officer Mohd Hafidzatullah Rashid. He said the victim was found in a weak state and unable to move, and the search and rescue (SAR) operation was officially called off at 3.52am. The operation had earlier been suspended at 7pm yesterday after a search over a 2.4-hectare area yielded no leads. A total of 31 personnel were involved in the SAR effort, including 14 members from the Special Tactical Operation and Rescue Team of Malaysia (STORM), five policemen and four Civil Defence Force personnel. Villagers also assisted in the search, along with three sniffer dogs — two from the Fire and Rescue Department and one from the police. 'The operation was divided into four sectors and expanded to include riverbanks, with aerial monitoring conducted using a Fire and Rescue Department drone,' said Hafidzatullah. He added that SAR teams also drained two artificial ponds during the search. Meanwhile, Melaka Tengah deputy police chief Superintendent Halim Abas confirmed that Muhamad Aidil is currently receiving treatment at the Emergency Department of Melaka Hospital and is in stable condition.

US$92b damage order against ex-bosses of Fukushima operator overturned: Japanese media
TOKYO — The Tokyo High Court on Friday overturned a $92 billion damages order against four ex-bosses of the operator of the devastated Fukushima nuclear plant, Japanese media reported. The former executives had in 2022 been ordered to pay 13.3 trillion yen in a suit brought by shareholders over the nuclear disaster triggered by a massive tsunami in 2011. Shareholders had argued the catastrophe could have been prevented if Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) bosses had listened to research and implemented preventative measures like placing an emergency power source on higher ground. But the defendants countered that the risks were unpredictable, and the studies cited were not credible. The court did not immediately confirm Friday's news reports when contacted by AFP. The 13.3 trillion yen damages award was believed to be the largest amount ever ordered in a civil suit in Japan. It was meant to cover TEPCO's costs for dismantling reactors, compensating affected residents, and cleaning up contamination. In 2015, British oil giant BP was ordered to pay $20.8 billion for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in what was described at the time as the highest fine ever imposed on a company in US history. Jiji Press reported Friday that the High Court had denied the tsunami was a predictable event. 'Take responsibility' Footage broadcast on Japanese networks showed the plaintiffs holding a banner calling for an even higher damages order of 22 billion yen. 'Take responsibility for the Fukushima nuclear accident!' their banner said. Three of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant's six reactors were operating when a massive undersea quake triggered a massive tsunami on March 11, 2011. They went into meltdown after their cooling systems failed when waves flooded backup generators, leading to the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. Overall the tsunami along Japan's northeast coast left around 18,500 people dead or missing. In March, Japan's top court said it had finalised the acquittal of two former TEPCO executives charged with professional negligence over the Fukushima meltdown. The decision concluded the only criminal trial to arise from the plant's 2011 accident. — AFP
