Published on: Monday, August 18, 2025 Published on: Mon, Aug 18, 2025 By: Amir Anuar Text Size: After battling for her life for nine days, Darna Tajudin succumbed to her injuries, a tragic end to what began as a routine evening jog with friends. TAWAU: A 43-year-old woman who was seriously injured after being hit by a four-wheel-drive vehicle while jogging with friends at Mile 9, Jalan Apas on August 9, has died from her injuries. After battling for her life for nine days, Darna Tajudin succumbed to her injuries, a tragic end to what began as a routine evening jog with friends. Acting Tawau District Police Chief Supt Champin Piuh said Darna, who had been receiving treatment at the Tawau Hospital, was pronounced dead by medical staff at about 8.37am on Sunday. 'At this time, police cannot determine the exact cause of death as we are awaiting the autopsy results,' he said. The case classification has been upgraded from Section 44(1)(a) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for driving under the influence causing injury, to Section 44(1)(b) for driving under the influence of alcohol above the prescribed limit resulting in death. 'If convicted, the penalty ranges from 10 to 15 years imprisonment and a fine of not less than RM50,000 and not exceeding RM100,000,' he said. The accident happened at about 9.10pm when Darna was jogging with friends from Bandar Sri Indah at Mile 10, Jalan Apas toward the T2 area at Mile 2. A 57-year-old male driver, suspected of being intoxicated, first collided with a multi-purpose vehicle driven by a 39-year-old man who was traveling from Taman Ria 11 to Tawau Airport. The collision caused the four-wheel-drive vehicle to veer out of control onto the left shoulder of the road, where it crashed into Darna and her jogging companions. She sustained severe injuries and was immediately rushed to the Tawau Hospital for emergency treatment. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Iwa Moto defends online sellers against social media criticism
Former actress Iwa Moto has called out netizens who belittled online sellers, saying it is an 'honest and decent way to earn a living.' In a live selling session on her TikTok account, Moto paused midway to address comments that demeaned those working in online commerce, stressing there is no shame in working hard to support one's family. 'I choose to stay here at home and do live selling so I can earn and be with my family. So guys, don't ever belittle online sellers. We are working our asses off, we are doing our best, and we are not hurting anyone. This is a decent job, unlike those who are scamming,' said the former actress in a seemingly annoyed tone, as captured in a video posted on Reddit. The 'StarStruck' season three first runner-up noted that live selling has enabled her to send her children to reputable schools, urging viewers never to underestimate any profession. 'When I was still active as an actress, from the makeup artist to the one carrying my bag, I respected them all. Do not ever belittle those who are working hard, especially on my platform,' she added. Moto rose to fame for portraying Valentina in the 2009 'Darna' series starring Marian Rivera. She is in a long-term relationship with politician Pampi Lacson, son of Senator Panfilo 'Ping' Lacson, with whom she has two children. Pampi, the former husband of actress Jodi Sta. Maria, shares a son with Sta. Maria in a blended family arrangement. Moto's remarks come after fellow actress Matet de Leon also faced criticism during a live selling session, when a viewer asked if she no longer had acting projects, leaving her in tears.

He added that the project is mixed-use, featuring commercial, administrative, and medical spaces. Joya Mall stretches over 5,640 sqm, and is located just 5 minutes from the Suez Road. The mall offers units starting from 37 sqm, with delivery scheduled to begin in 2029. He noted that the company is collaborating with strong success partners to ensure the project is delivered to the highest quality standards. He further pointed out that the initial offering of the project includes a range of unit spaces designated for administrative and medical use, with flexible payment plans starting from 0% down payment and installment periods of up to 7 years, available for a limited time. In addition, the first offering comes with a discount of up to 10%. The company has carefully studied payment plans to ensure they align with the execution plan for Joya Mall. He highlighted that Joya Mall adds real value to the mixed-use developments in Shorouk city, presenting a timely and secure investment opportunity—especially as the city approaches full maturity and experiences increasing demand for specialized service-oriented projects driven by its growing population density. He stated, 'With its prime location, efficient space planning, and diverse functions—spanning commercial, administrative, and medical uses—Joya Mall stands out as an ideal choice for anyone seeking a business hub or a long-term investment with reliable returns.
