Malaysia's mega railway project marks another milestone with installation of 1st CIS system
KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 (Xinhua) -- The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), a mega rail project in Malaysia being built by the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), marked another key milestone on Friday with the installation of its first communication, information and signaling (CIS) systems at the Kota SAS Station in Pahang state. Designed to meet international standards, the CIS systems form a critical component of the ECRL's overall engineering system. These systems play a vital role in ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable railway operations through functions such as automatic train protection, traffic control, and real-time passenger information, CCCC said in a statement following a ceremony to mark the installation. These advanced railway technologies are crucial for automatic train protection, traffic control, and real-time passenger information, CCC-ECRL Managing Director Deng Bo said. "The CIS systems are often described as the nervous system and brain of the railway. ECRL KotaSAS Station is the first station equipped with these critical components of ECRL operations. This First-Article Assessment serves as the cornerstone for verifying construction feasibility and setting quality standards, laying the foundation for system installation across the 20 ECRL stations stretching from Kota Bharu to Port Klang," he said. Malaysia Rail Link Chief Executive Officer Darwis Abdul Razak said the project is committed to meeting the highest standards of quality, interoperability, and compliance for rail operators. "Today's assessment ceremony signifies a thorough and transparent evaluation of ECRL's engineering systems -- the benchmark model that will be deployed across the entire ECRL's network," he said. The ECRL extends from Malaysia's largest transport hub Port Klang and across the peninsula to the northeastern Kelantan state. It is expected to greatly enhance connectivity and bring more balanced growth to the Southeast Asian country by linking its less-developed region on the east coast to the economic heartland on the west coast.

Omerta around infamous 2015 Dublin-Armagh challenge game still holds 10 years on
The Dublin-Armagh rivalry is thin in terms of competitive meetings - but they have found their edge elsewhere. Sunday's clash at Croke Park will be just the counties' sixth ever Championship tie and first since 2010, though they have crossed paths a couple of times in the League in recent years. But a challenge match that they played 10 years ago that virtually nobody got to see and the result of which is long forgotten, is still remembered for all the wrong reasons. Before the throw-in, Dublin's Davy Byrne suffered facial injuries which sparked a full scale brawl. Byrne required hospital treatment and the CCCC investigated but with all parties remaining tightlipped, not much came of it though both counties were hit with hefty fines. The GAA's then director general Páraic Duffy expressed his frustration around the episode in his annual report some months later. 'The efforts of CCCC to investigate the matter followed an all too depressing pattern,' he wrote. 'Even though the name of the player alleged to have been responsible for Davy Byrne's injury was in general circulation, no assistance was forthcoming from the counties in bringing the player to account.' When asked yesterday, Dean Rock didn't shed much further light on events of that day in DCU. 'We had played a couple of days previous in the Leinster final,' he said. 'We had guys who didn't get enough minutes and squad players who were identified to play that game. 'I was doing some frees and we were doing some small bit of a skills session at the time and then there were a few roars, and then turned into a jog and a sprint up to see what was going on.' Armagh weren't regular challenge game opponents of Dublin at the time and they certainly weren't after that, though that has changed in recent times given the relationship between Dessie Farrell and Kieran McGeeney. 'At that time under Jim [Gavin], certainly not,' says Rock. 'Like, we would have played a lot of challenge games probably against Cork and Monaghan and Cavan. They would have been the ones we would have played most of the time. 'But yeah in recent years under Dessie, it certainly would have been Armagh. So in the last couple of years, there could have been six, seven challenge matches against Armagh. So there would be a lot of familiarity there and understanding with each other. 'There has been probably kind of a healthy rivalry in many ways built up, not in competitive games, but off the field and different things. So that's just the relationship with Dessie and Kieran.' Rock, who retired after Dublin's 2023 All-Ireland win, gave his take on Rian O'Neill resurfacing with Armagh last weekend after his self-imposed exile. Diarmuid Connolly made a similar mid-season return for Dublin as they chase five-in-a-row in 2019, which was the source of some discontent within the squad, though Rock says 'I don't see any downside to it'. 'It's another exceptional player coming into the group who's obviously going to challenge other players because he wants to get in and get more minutes and then everyone else has to up their game to prove that they deserve the jersey. 'So I think in that regard, it can only be positive. Look, they're a close-knit group up in Armagh as well, it's not the biggest county, so they've got good relationships up there with each other, I'm sure, and I'm sure they'd welcome him back with open arms. 'I think the best thing for Armagh now is that it's now done and there is closure to it. I mean, he's fully back now, he's back in the mix and there's no question marks hanging over them anymore. So it's now, you know, full throttle now on the All-Ireland pursuit again.' He added: 'The big question marks will be can he get to the level he got to last year? And based on maybe the training that he has or hasn't done, or hasn't been exposed to, that could be a big question mark for him personally. 'But even if you got the best out of him for 45, 50 minutes, it could be the difference in a lot of these tight games.'

Galway star could miss Leinster final after being handed retrospective ban
Galway goalkeeper Darach Fahy is in danger of missing next weekend's Leinster Hurling final after being handed a retrospective one-match ban. The punishment has been handed down by the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) for an incident that took place in the first-half of Galway's Leinster semi-final win over Dublin last weekend, an incident that wasn't dealt with by referee Colm Lyons at the time. Fahy's hurley made contact with the leg of Dublin star Andrew Jamieson-Murphy after the Galway goalie had handpassed the ball to a teammate. Galway GAA have been informed of the CCCC's decision and they have 24 hours to appeal against the ruling, which they are expected to do so. Fahy isn't the only player to have been handed a ban after the game, with Dublin's Conor Donohoe also being retrospectively punished by the CCCC. Donohoe was involved in an incident in the first-half, again not dealt with by the referee, that saw his hurl make contact with the neck of John Fleming as the Galway star attempted to get a shot away on goal. That one-match ban for Donohoe would see the Erin's Isle star miss Dublin's All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final clash against Kildare or Laois on the weekend of June 14/15. Like Galway, Dublin have one day to lodge an appeal against the decision.

Galway ‘keeper Fahy a Leinster final doubt as he is hit with retrospective ban
Galway goalkeeper Darach Fahy is at risk of missing Sunday week's Leinster SHC final against Kilkenny after receiving a retrospective one-match ban. Dublin's Conor Donohoe has also been issued with a recommended suspension arising from the counties's Leinster SHC final round game in Parnell Park last Sunday. The Erin's Isle man could miss the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final against Joe McDonagh Cup winners, Kildare or Laois. The punishments have been proposed by the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) for the first-half incidents not dealt with by referee Colm Lyons. Fahy made contact with his hurley against Andrew Jamieson-Murphy's leg after the Galway netminder passed the ball away. Donohoe caught John Fleming with his hurley around the neck as the Galway forward attempted to strike the ball towards the goal from close range. Both counties were informed of the CCCC's decisions in the last 24 hours and it is expected Galway will at least contest Fahy's ban in front of the Central Hearings Committee as there is further annoyance in the county with the disciplinary process. In the earlier round game against Offaly in Glenisk O'Connor Park, Galway were aggrieved that Daithí Burke was sent off while selector Aidan Harte was handed a four-week suspension for 'abusive language towards an official'. Galway had successfully contested the 'any type of physical interference with an Opposing Player/Team Official' charge brought against Harte but he was also served with the other infraction. Harte's penalty elapses before Sunday week's provincial decider. Speaking to Galway Bay FM earlier this month, Micheál Donoghue articulated Galway's stance. 'I think collectively from a management, players, county board we were really disappointed with that transpired in Tullamore. 'From our perspective, we viewed it as pretty shambolic, and something that we weren't happy with. Look, for us moving forward we'll be mindful in everything we do in similar circumstance.' There is also some consternation in hurling circles how no suspensions were issued from the row that followed the Ulster senior football final, although the Irish Examiner understands fines were issued to Armagh and Donegal.
