NBI rescues child from online exploitation in Davao Oriental
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Thursday announced the rescue of a minor from exploitation in Banaybanay, Davao Oriental. According to the NBI, the victim was turned over to social workers for supervision and care. The bureau said she was able to identify the facilitators involved in the crime. The operation stemmed from an investigation of an account named 'Ate Bibian' which was supplying child sexual abuse or exploitation materials (CSAEM) to a certain 'Jacky.' Following this information, the agents identified the whereabouts of the victim and launched a rescue operation. The agents also arrested Jacky for violating the Anti-Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Anti-CSAEM Act. 'The NBI will not stop from its relentless pursuit of providing justice to OSAEC victims and giving them a safer environment,' the NBI said in a statement. — Joahna Lei Casilao/RF, GMA Integrated News

Rashid calls on his men to beat Canada to ensure smooth passage to knockout round
PETALING JAYA: The national badminton squad are all geared up for their medal-hunting mission at the World University Games in Rhine-Ruhr, Germany. Men's singles player Jacky Kok ( pic ) will be one of the players spearheading Malaysia's challenge in the mixed team event starting today at Westenergie Sporthalle. The University Malaya student said the harmonious atmosphere and high team spirit among the players would give them an advantage. 'All my teammates are ready to go and we are spending a lot of time together, everywhere. We have been building this camaraderie from the central training camp. I think this is something very good for future team events,' said Jacky. 'If we can bring out the best in the game, anything can happen, especially since the competition point format is only 15 points. 'We just have to do our best and support each other,' he said. For the mixed team event, Malaysia are drawn in Group D with only Canada. Head coach Datuk Rashid Sidek said his men would have no excuse for failing to beat Canada. 'We have to win against Canada to become group champions so that we can have an easy passage to the knockout round. No matter what, we have to play our best, don't underestimate them and play as usual,' he said. Apart from Rashid, former national men's doubles player Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif also acts as the national team coach with the aim of improving the medal tally from the last edition. The shuttlers contributed two bronze medals, one each in the men's doubles and mixed team events in the last edition in Chengdu, China. — Bernama

MGM China Clarifies Reports Of Actor Jacky Heung Getting Sued For Failing To Repay RM700k Debt
Despite the glitz and the glamour, some stars have fallen into debt due to poor spending habits and addiction. Recently, rumours circulated that MGM China sued Hong Kong actor Jacky Heung (向佐) for failing to repay a massive debt. Reports of the issue emerged earlier this week, alleging that the actor was facing legal action from MGM China Holdings after failing to repay a loan taken from a Macau casino in December 2024. According to reports, Jacky borrowed HK$2 million (approximately RM1.08 million) from the casino in the form of gaming chips, with the stipulation to repay the full amount on the same day. However, months have passed since the day, and Jacky now allegedly owes the company HK$1.4 million (approximately RM759,000). As there has not been any repayment, MGM filed a claim in the Hong Kong District Court for the outstanding amount plus interest. The loan agreement states that the company is entitled to collect interest at an annual rate of 18%, calculated from the date of borrowing until the debt is repaid in full. The lawsuit garnered media attention because of Jacky's status as an actor and his family background. The 41-year-old is the son of renowned HK actor and director Charles Heung (向華強) and film producer Tiffany Chen (陳嵐). Thankfully, it appears that the case has been settled, as MGM China revealed yesterday (Tuesday, 15th July 2025) that the debt has been fully repaid. The lawsuit against Jacky has also been dismissed. The statement clarified that Jacky acted as a guarantor for a third party in the loan and that the legal action was standard procedure to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, this particular case attracted too much attention, which caused inconvenience to the actor and his image. As such, MGM China has urged all parties to refrain from spreading inaccurate information. Additionally, the company wouldn't issue any further comments on the matter. Jacky has yet to address the matter, but we're glad the issue was resolved quickly and didn't escalate into something bigger. What are your thoughts on this? Sources: Dimsum Daily (1)(2)

Jacky gets lucky
PETALING JAYA: Not everyone gets the chance to train with a world champion and Olympic gold medallist, but men's singles professional shuttler Jacky Kok is one of the lucky few. Jacky, who was part of the Malaysian team that won gold at the 2022 Asian Team Championships, is currently in Dubai training alongside Denmark's Viktor Axelsen at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex. He is accompanied by fellow Malaysian Chua Kim Sheng and had been sparring with the former world No. 1 for a week. Jacky's coach, former international Ong Ewe Hock, hopes the 21-year-old will make the most of this opportunity, saying there is much to learn from Axelsen in his quest to become a better player. Ewe Hock also revealed that this was not Jacky's first time sparring with Axelsen, having helped the two-time world champion prepare for the Malaysian Open last year. 'Last year, when Axelsen came for the Malaysian Open, he was looking for sparring partners, and I sent Jacky. With the legend: Jacky Kok (left) and Chua Kim Sheng posing with Viktor Axelsen at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex. — Jacky's Instagram 'They got to know each other then, and that led to this invitation to train with Axelsen in Dubai for a week. 'It's not easy to get this kind of opportunity, so I want him to soak up as much experience as he can, even if it's only for a short period. 'If he can observe how Axelsen trains and understands the environment there, it will help him grow in his career,' said Ewe Hock when contacted. One of Ewe Hock's other trainees, Cheam June Wei, also had a chance to train with Axelsen in Dubai back in 2022. At the same time, Ewe Hock shared that he was currently looking for suitable tournaments for Jacky to enter in his effort to further improve his players' world ranking. Jacky, who was dropped from the national team at the end of last year, has been steadily climbing the world rankings and is now placed No. 75. In March, he captured the Vietnam International Challenge title. 'Now that his ranking has improved slightly, we have better chances of getting into higher-tier tournaments. The only challenge is that those events usually require more funding,' said Ewe Hock. 'But to me, that's not an issue. I've told him that as long as he performs well, the sponsors will come. The real problem is when your performance drops, that's when the sponsors walk away,' he added.
