Education Ministry probing claim Pakistan national officiated at school sports event, says Fadhlina
"We are looking into the matter," the Education Minister told reporters briefly after attending the Perak-level Maal Hijrah 1447H celebration, which was officiated by the Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah here Thursday (June 26) night.
A video recently circulated on social media showed the man being given the honour of launching the athletics meet at SK Sama Gagah in Simpang Empat Semanggol.
Meanwhile, Fadhlina expressed her gratitude to the Sultan Nazrin for posthumously conferring the Saidina Abu Bakar As-Siddiq Award on her late mother, Datin Dr Siti Zalikhah Md Nor.
"She was a lecturer at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and a defender of syariah law. Empowering women in all aspects was her life's work and area of expertise.
"On behalf of my family, I would like to thank His Royal Highness and the state government for this meaningful recognition," she said.
Earlier, Sultan Nazrin presented the award to Fadhlina, who accepted it on her late mother's behalf. - Bernama

Can combat sports curb bullying in schools?
Two young judo students sparring at a 'dojo' (gym) in Kuching. — Photo by Alvin Lau RECENTLY, Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh proposed for the Education Ministry to discuss with the National Combat Sport Federation to find a solution to bullying in schools. She believed that this could potentially tackle the root cause of aggressive behaviour through proper guidance and giving opportunities for students to channel their energy and aggression through structured activities such as combat sports, which could be more effective than punitive action such as suspension. Combat sports evolved from martial arts through omitting dangerous techniques, which could seriously injure opponents, and emphasising restraint – making it possible for practitioners to spar and compete in regulated matches with specific rules and scoring system. Judo, which is taught in Japanese schools, where some make it part of their compulsory curriculum, is the first combat sport to be introduced in the education system. In 1882, Dr Jigoro Kano who studied jujitsu and various styles of traditional Japanese martial arts, introduced judo by transforming jujitsu into safe, modern, scientific and competitive system. In 1964, judo was officially recognised as a sport by the International Olympic Council and included in the Olympic Games held in Tokyo that year, paving the way for other martial arts like wushu, silat, karate and taekwondo to be developed as sports and included in international sports competitions. A strict code of conduct is integrated in combat sports emphasising self-control, respect for others, and discipline. A well-structured, ethically-grounded, and properly-resourced programme could make combat sports a valuable tool in the fight against bullying. However, introducing combat sports in schools is a complex proposal and there are risks and challenges that the Education Department and school administration have to take into account. It can offer both positive and negative outcomes, depending on how the programme is designed, implemented and supervised. On the positive side, students who take up combat sports can build up confidence and self-esteem, reducing their vulnerability. For students with aggressive tendencies, combat sports provide a structured and controlled outlet for energy and frustration, which can reduce violent incidents during unsupervised situations like recess or after-school. Combat sports often involve sparring with partners, or working in teams. This builds mutual trust, empathy, and friendship – counteracting the isolation that fuels bullying. During sparring sessions, students learn to manage their emotions better under pressure – a critical life skill that may prevent impulsive aggression or retaliation. Coaches or instructors can identify students who may be struggling emotionally, or showing signs of violence, through observation during training, and intervene early. To achieve these positive results, mandatory codes of conduct and lessons on respect must be integrated in combat sports, and training must be carried out under strict supervision by qualified and properly-trained coaches certified by a martial art organisation. If teaching of combat sports in schools is not properly supervised under certified instructors, students might potentially glorify violence and view combat training as a licence to use violence outside the ring, escalating rather than reducing bullying. They may use what they have learned to intimidate or hurt others, especially if ethical or moral component is not emphasised in the training. Those with behavioural issues or poor impulse control might become more dangerous if their aggression is not properly controlled. Although restrictions and control are emphasised in combat sports, even under supervision, combat sports carry a risk of injury. There are also practical concerns as implementing such programmes requires trained coaches, protective gear, insurance, and constant oversight – resources that many schools may not have. Combat sports should be offered as an elective rather than a mandatory component of physical education as it is not everyone's cup of tea, and some parents might object to their children taking it up. Students who do not want to participate or who are fearful of combat sports might feel excluded or intimidated by those who do. Hannah Yeoh's proposal is not new – sports like taekwondo, wushu, silat, and judo are already present in some schools. The Education Department and the National Combat Sport Federation should carry out a comprehensive study on the impact of taking up combat sports on current and former students before taking the next step.

Zii Jia is back — leaner, stronger and hungrier
FOR a nation that lives and breathes badminton, few things fire the blood like the World Championships. And as the draw for Paris 2025 lands, Malaysia's dream of lifting a second world crown feels not just alive but thundering with possibility. Front and centre is Lee Zii Jia, the man once billed as Malaysia's next great hope. Now, after months nursing a stubborn right ankle, the 27-year-old is back — leaner, stronger and hungrier. His Instagram this week lit up the badminton world: 40 seconds of pure intent, smashing with venom, muscles carved, movement razor-sharp. The ankle brace that had become an unwelcome trademark is gone. In its place? A player ready to terrorise world badminton again. For a badminton-mad nation, just seeing Zii Jia glide across the court again has lifted spirits. But his comeback is more than personal redemption. It's the spark that could ignite Malaysia's entire campaign. Because he's not alone in carrying the nation's hopes. Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik are primed to hunt down a second men's doubles crown. Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah are gunning for Malaysia's first women's doubles medal at this level. And Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei are on a mission to smash a 19-year mixed doubles drought. Zii Jia's opener against South Korea's Jeon Hyeok Jin is winnable. But the real acid test could come in round two — China's world No. 4 Li Shi Feng, the very man across the net when injury struck last year. Beat him, and the message will be deafening. The former All England champion is back in business. Badminton is not just another sport here. It is Malaysia's one true Olympic-level powerhouse. From the artistry of Wong Peng Soon to the relentless brilliance of Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei, to today's elite crop of Aaron, Wooi Yik, Pearly, Thinaah and Zii Jia, the conveyor belt of champions has never stopped. On the world stage, badminton remains the country's most reliable source of medals, prestige and pride. Three years after Aaron-Wooi Yik made history with their men's doubles world title, they return as the battle-hardened world No. 2. Their draw is no walk in the park: a possible all-Malaysian third-round clash with Arif Junaidi-Yap Roy King, then a semi-final against Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani. Lurking in the quarter-finals could be China's Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang or India's powerhouse duo Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty. Former champ Koo Kien Keat said it straight: "It's about hunger. Keep the momentum, and they can win it again." Pearly-Thinaah's path in women's doubles looks kinder — at least on paper. Round three could bring Indonesia's Lanny Tria Mayasari-Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, who they've beaten twice in three meetings. Quarter-finals? Japan's Yuki Fukushima-Mayu Matsumoto are also on the receiving end this year. But the semis could be a whole different beast — Japan's world No. 3 Nami Matsuyama-Chiharu Shida or South Korea's Kim Hye Jeong-Kong Hee Yong, both formidable and physically relentless. Datuk James Selvaraj's advice? "Be confident, but never overconfident. The draw is in their favour, but you still have to win the points." Then there are Tang Jie-Ee Wei in mixed doubles. Not since 2006 has Malaysia stood on that podium — but the world No. 4 are perfectly placed to change that. A first-round bye, a winnable last-16 against Indonesia's Jafar Hidayatullah-Felisha Pasaribu, then a quarter-final with Hong Kong's Tang Chun Man-Tse Ying Suet, both of whom they've beaten this season. Avoiding China's top seeds Feng Yan Zhe-Huang Dong Ping until the semis is a gift. Coach Nova Widianto called it "a medal-worthy opportunity" — before grinning: "Maybe our mixed doubles luck is about to turn." The World Championships strip everything back to the raw essence of the sport. No team events. No second chances. Just five or six brutal matches in a week against the best in the world. It's as much a mental war as a physical one. For Zii Jia, Paris is a chance to prove his story is more than a comeback headline. For Aaron-Wooi Yik, it's a test of whether they can withstand in one of the toughest men's doubles eras ever. For Pearly-Thinaah, it's about breaking new ground. And for Tang Jie-Ee Wei, it's about finally ending that 19-year wait. Paris will not hand out medals for potential. Tang Jie-Ee Wei are not the only hope. The nation will also be relying on world No. 6 Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai and world No. 16 Hoo Pang Ron-Cheng Su Yin in the event. Malaysia must turn all this promise into points, all this belief into results. But if it all clicks — if the smashes land, if the defences hold, if the draws open — then 2025 could be remembered not for one world crown, but for a medal rush across three, even four, disciplines. Because in badminton, as every Malaysian knows, lightning can strike twice. And sometimes, when the wind is right, it can strike over and over again.

4 men get good behaviour bond, 1 fined RM600 over football brawl
A viral video of the brawl showed players trading blows at Padang Speedy in Teluk Intan, Perak, on Aug 7. PETALING JAYA : The Teluk Intan magistrates' court released four men on a good behaviour bond while another man was slapped with a RM600 fine over their involvement in a brawl during a football match last week. Magistrate Naidatul Athirah Azman ordered a six-month good behaviour bond for Harith Nazreen Shah Abd Ghani, 21, Danial Asmawi, 23, R Tharmaraj, 28, and E Paranitharan, 29, after they pleaded guilty to committing affray. The four men, who were playing in the match, were charged along with another person still at large with committing the offence at Padang Speedy in Teluk Intan between 5.15pm and 6pm on Aug 7, Harian Metro reported. The charges were framed under Section 160 of the Penal Code, which provides for up to six months in prison, a maximum RM1,000 fine, or both if convicted. Deputy public prosecutor Nur Darwis Aghniya Halim Azizi had asked the court to impose a commensurate sentence to serve as a deterrent to the public, stating that the incident had gone viral online. M Saravanan of the National Legal Aid Foundation, who served as lawyer for Harith and Danial, said the guilty pleas had saved the court's time and all four had since made up and become friends. 'They shook hands and have apologised to each other. They humbly request the court to be given a second chance,' he said, adding that this was the first offence for all four men. The court then ordered all four to sign a RM500 good behaviour bond for six months. Tharmaraj and Paranitharan were represented by lawyers Charan Singh and S Morgan respectively. The court then imposed a fine of RM600 on another man, Kuzairin Kamaruddin, 31, after he pleaded guilty to voluntarily causing hurt to a referee at the same match. He will have to serve two months in prison if he fails to pay the fine. Kuzairin was charged under Section 323 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of a year's imprisonment, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both upon conviction.
