Slingshot contests draw crowds at Kelantan PMR 2025
KOTA BHARU: The humble slingshot, locally known as bidas or lastik, has become a major attraction at the Kelantan MADANI Rakyat programme 2025. Kubang Bemban Slingshot Club advisor Azizan Mat Ariffin said the contests, held in makeshift rings, have grown in popularity over the years. 'Contests take place in various villages during mornings, afternoons, and even at night, especially on Fridays and Saturdays,' he told Bernama. He added that slingshot contests are now recognised as a recreational sport under official categories. 'This sport reflects a healthy lifestyle and is open to everyone, from veterans to children,' he said. Azizan noted that Kelantan stands out as a state where slingshot sports are particularly active. The sport is also therapeutic and has drawn significant interest from youths, he explained. Visitor Mohd Fadzil Harun, 42, travelled from Pasir Mas to participate in the open contest. 'I've loved slingshots since childhood, but this event is special because of the festive atmosphere,' he said. Nurul Aqilah Mohd Nor, 27, from Bachok, tried slingshot for the first time and found it challenging yet satisfying. 'If there are more programmes like this, I'll bring my family,' she said. The three-day Kelantan PMR 2025 event concludes tomorrow. - Bernama

Woman arrested over alleged abuse of adopted son in Jelebu
SEREMBAN: Police have arrested a woman to assist in investigations into the alleged abuse of her 13-year-old adopted child in Kuala Klawang, Jelebu. Jelebu district police chief Supt Azizan Said said a Social Welfare Department (JKM) officer lodged a report on the incident involving the Form One student via Talian Kasih. He said the 35-year-old suspect, who has two biological children aged five years and seven months, respectively, was arrested on June 16. "Initial investigations revealed that the victim has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is categorised as a person with a disability, and has been under the suspect's care since he was six. "The boy said he would be beaten if he was late or failed to follow instructions. The victim also complained that he was frequently shouted at, cursed at, and hit with objects like clothes hangers," he said in a statement. Azizan said the victim also claimed he was beaten with the metal extension tube of a vacuum cleaner, resulting in bruises on several parts of his body, including the elbow, wrist and back, while getting ready for his school sports day on June 14. He said the boy was later rescued by the JKM after it received an email from a woman reporting a case of child abuse at the house. According to him, the victim was taken to Jelebu Hospital for examination, and a medical report confirmed that the injuries were caused by a blunt rod-shaped object and were believed to have been sustained within three days prior to the check-up. Azizan said police were still waiting for the full medical report and that further investigations were ongoing to determine whether the injuries were due to abuse or resulted from the victim's hyperactive behaviour. The case is being investigated under Section 31(1)(a) of the Children's Act 2001.–BERNAMA
