Zain Bahrain Basketball League Final: Al Ahli v Muharraq
TDT | Manama Al Ahli stand one win from Zain Bahrain Basketball League glory as they prepare to face Muharraq in a crucial Game 4 tomorrow at Khalifa Sports City Arena. Al Ahli pulled off a tight 86-83 win over Muharraq in Game 3 on Sunday, taking a 2-1 lead in this best-of-five final series. The result puts them within touching distance of the title, but Muharraq, known for their tenacity, will aim to level the series in tomorrow's 7:00 PM tip-off. Game 3 Recap Sunday's match was a classic, with Al Ahli clinging to a 45-42 advantage at the break. A lively crowd, joined by Bahraini sports officials, created a cauldron of noise at Khalifa Sports City Arena. The return of Al Ahli's Maitham Jameel and Muharraq's Sir Dominic, both defying injury, added technical flair to a tightly contested affair. The match turned in the fourth quarter when, with Muharraq leading 69-66 and six minutes to play, a scuffle saw Mohammed Ameer (Muharraq) and Jameel (Al Ahli) ejected. Al Ahli, undeterred, showed composure beyond their years, managing the clock expertly in the closing stages to secure a three-point win. Key Players Al Ahli's American star Rice was instrumental in Game 3, pouring in 22 points, with Jameel (16) and Stone (14) providing vital support. Muharraq leaned on new recruit Keron Deshields, who led all scorers with 23 points, while Tony Mitchell and the now-suspended Ameer added 15 apiece. With Ameer absent, Muharraq's bench will need to step up to counter Al Ahli's depth. What's at Stake This rivalry has delivered drama in spades, and Game 4 promises more. Al Ahli's ability to stay calm under pressure gives them a slight edge, but Muharraq's resilience makes them dangerous. A win tomorrow seals the championship for Al Ahli; a Muharraq win forces a decisive Game 5. Three to Watch Can Al Ahli exploit Muharraq's missing piece? Ameer's ejection leaves a gap in Muharraq's lineup—will Al Ahli target this weakness? Will Deshields keep Muharraq in the fight? The American's 23-point haul in Game 3 was electric—can he repeat it? How will emotions shape the game? After Game 3's flashpoint, both sides must channel their intensity without crossing the line. When and Where Tip-off is at 7:00 PM tomorrow at Khalifa Sports City Arena, where another capacity crowd is expected. Al Ahli are on the cusp of the title, but Muharraq's fighting spirit means this is far from over.

Enforcement is across the board, says KL mayor
(From left) Think City Sdn Bhd managing director Datuk Hamdan Abdul Majeed, Ameer, Maimunah and Lim at the appreciation gathering in Kuala Lumpur. — YAP CHEE HONG/The Star DBKL vows to take action against illegal traders THREE hotels in Kuala Lumpur were sealed this year for failing to comply with the local authority's regulations, says mayor Datuk Seri Maimunah Mohd Sharif. She was underscoring the point that there was no favouritism involved as Kuala Lumpur City Hall's (DBKL) enforcement was applied across the board, from stalls to hotels. Speaking at an appreciation gathering organised by Batu Road Retailers Association (Barra) and Masjid India Business Association (Miba) at Sogo Kuala Lumpur, Maimunah said issues raised by the associations, especially those related to illegal traders, were taken seriously. This was in response to complaints by Miba president Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin regarding the challenges faced by local traders. Ameer had highlighted several concerns, including unlicensed businesses operated by foreign workers, illegal traders, bazaars blocking access to established businesses, and persistent parking issues due to illegal or double parking. 'These issues have significantly affected long-time traders in the Masjid India area,' he said. He urged the mayor to address the influx of foreign workers operating illegally in areas such as Jalan Silang. 'The Home Ministry has stated that only 15% of employees in certain sectors can be foreigners. 'Based on this, enforcement should be carried out at premises that are entirely run by foreigners,' he said. 'We need to support our small businesses. Many of us – like Mydin, Sogo and Giant – started small before growing bigger,' said Ameer. He further said that 99% of shops operated by foreigners failed to comply with local product labelling regulations, especially for imported items. These, he suggested, were areas where DBKL could step up enforcement. Ameer also called on DBKL to act against the so-called 'drinks syndicate' operating at Jalan Chow Kit and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, allegedly run by 80% foreign vendors without licences. He urged authorities to assist local street food vendors by relocating them to proper sites so that they did not obstruct other businesses. Meanwhile, Barra founder and Malaysia Retailers Association president Datuk Andrew Lim expressed hope that the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign would attract both local and international tourists to areas such as Batu Road and Masjid India. Maimunah thanked the business community for its cooperation and said DBKL would adopt an integrated enforcement approach in collaboration with the relevant bodies. 'I will visit Jalan Silang personally to assess the situation. 'In Chow Kit, enforcement has already taken place. One of the former mayors was impressed by the approach we took. 'I work closely with my officers, especially ground staff. I value their feedback because they are on the frontlines,' she added. Regarding parking issues, Maimunah said DBKL had towed many vehicles and she met with Rapid KL officials to discuss strategies to reduce traffic congestion.

Sarkeet Movie Review: Asif Ali's stirring performance anchors this heartwarming ride
There's something beautiful about watching Asif Ali crying on screen. At the risk of sounding sadistic, Asif does have the knack for convincingly portraying emotional moments. What makes it all the more special is that he acquired this knack through years of constant chiseling of his abilities. We have seen him ace emotionally charged moments in films like Anuraga Karikkin Vellam (2016), Uyare (2019), Kettyolaanu Ente Malakha (2019), Kishkindha Kaandam (2024), etc. And with Sarkeet, he takes it a notch higher. The film rides high on Asif's beautifully understated performance and his rapport with child actor Orhan. Director: Thamar KV Cast: Asif Ali, Orhan, Deepak Parambol, Divya Prabha, Swathi Das Prabhu, Prasanth Alexander Like his directorial debut 1001 Nunakal (2022), Thamar KV has chosen a Gulf backdrop for Sarkeet. Ameer (Asif Ali) is on his second visit to the Gulf, but is yet to find a job. He faces constant setbacks during interviews, yet tries to hold the hope of a better future. Parallely, we also see a middle-class couple trying hard to find their work-life balance. Balu (Deepak Parambol) and Stephy (Divya Prabha) are extremely stressed with their jobs, but their biggest worry is their son Jefron aka Jeppu. He is shown as an unruly child who is diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and it is clear that the parents aren't equipped enough to handle him. And that's when Ameer unceremoniously enters their lives. Sarkeet brings back pleasant memories of Kamal's sweet little film Pookkalam Varavayi (1991), starring Jayaram and Baby Shamili, especially how the heartwarming relationship between a child and an adult is depicted. The kids in both films crave love and care, which they eventually get from strangers. Though Ameer finds himself stuck with Jeppu, he handles the child with a lot of warmth and patience. He understands the child better and acts like a guardian, probably because he knows the value of a father figure. This minute detail about Ameer's past adds depth to the character and his bond with the child. Orhan's role and his antics might come across as irksome, but that's the nature of the character, and he plays it effectively. Deepak Parambol and Divya Prabha also deliver sincere performances, despite their limited scope. While there was immense scope for melodrama, Thamar shows restraint in depicting the couple's rocky lives. We see them leading their lives mechanically, without even smiling at each other. While the father is clueless about his son's disorder, Stephy, despite being a nurse, doesn't seem to know any better. Their only solution seems to be locking him up, which ultimately leads to all the chaos. The film is a reminder of how parents have the responsibility to not just provide but also nurture. Thamar, being a Gulf Malayali himself, paints a realistic picture of life there. Interestingly, he keeps the melodrama of expat struggle to a minimum. Instead, we see the harsh reality of broke youngsters, who resort to shady jobs like distributing visiting cards of massage parlours, and even exploiting people by making them work for free in the pretext of interviews. There's also the other side, like a hotel owner serving Ameer free food. It is not something we haven't seen before, but it is important to reiterate the power of goodness. After an engaging first hour, Sarkeet loses a bit of steam and starts going in circles, especially with Ameer's struggles with Jeppu's growing tantrums. While their encounters are mostly realistic, Thamar's treatment becomes oddly cinematic during two episodes—when Ameer tries to engage the child with shadowplay and later during stargazing. The dialogues in these scenes are too pretentious for a child to decipher. It felt like the characters were addressing the audience rather than conversing amongst themselves. Despite all this, Asif, Orhan, and their wonderful chemistry manage to keep things alive. The sarkeet (outing) initially comes across as a much-needed getaway for the child, but as the night progresses, we see Ameer also momentarily forgetting all his troubles and enjoying his time. In a broader sense, the film can also offer a similar experience if you're just willing to overlook some flaws.
