To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Louis Tomlinson and Zara McDermott were recently seen enjoying a fun and flirty getaway together in Costa Rica. Zara, 28, and Louis, 33, were caught sharing some affectionate moments as they explored the vibrant local scene. From strolling through charming neighborhoods and sharing warm embraces near the bustling Eat Street to revving up their excitement on an ATV ride, the duo's tropical vacation was clearly as hot as the weather. At one point, Louis was even spotted giving Zara a flirty squeeze on the bum. Zara looked effortlessly stylish in a crisp white tube top paired with a casual Miu Miu baseball cap, adding a sporty touch to her laid-back vacation look. Meanwhile, Louis kept things cool and casual, sporting a bright orange Burberry T-shirt complemented by sunglasses. Their chemistry is undeniable, and it seems like what once appeared to be casual dating has escalated into a full-fledged romance. The loved-up duo have been glued to each other since March – just three months after Zara's split from Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson. According to The Sun, Louis made sure Zara travelled in style, arranging for her to fly first class from London to join him in Costa Rica. The romantic gesture meant Zara missed out on attending the TV BAFTAs, but sources say she had no hesitation: 'She is keen to spend as much time with Louis as possible. He's been out in Costa Rica for a few weeks recording his album and is keen to show her the sights.' Zara has been documenting moments from their tropical retreat, recently posting a photo of a fiery orange sky tagged with the simple caption: 'beautiful.' Louis has been making it clear he's his new love's biggest fan, leaving a heartfelt 'Proud of you x' under another of Zara's posts, in which she celebrated her growing confidence as a documentary filmmaker. In March, the pair first sparked romance rumours when being spotted on a romantic getaway in Suffolk. Got a story?

A killer – in the blink of an eye
PETALING JAYA: Dr Julius Goh Liang Chye of Universiti Malaya remembers his childhood journeys back to Kedah from Kuala Lumpur very well. 'As children, we always depended on our father to do the heavy lifting, including driving long hours during festive seasons. 'One particular journey took a frightening turn when he briefly dozed off at the wheel, jolting awake just in time to avoid a crash,' he said. ALSO READ: Apnoea – something to lose sleep over 'At that time, we were unfamiliar with the term microsleep,' said Dr Goh, who is now a consultant otorhinolaryngologist at Universiti Malaya's Faculty of Medicine. Otorhinolaryngology deals with conditions affecting the ear, nose and throat (ENT), some of which have the potential to affect sleep quality. Experts agree: (From left) Siti Zaharah, Louis and Dr Goh say microsleep poses a menace that threatens road safety everywhere. Road safety experts as well as the medical fraternity now want sleep management, in particular addressing microsleep, to be part of the lexicon, given the immense potential of sleep-deprived persons causing accidents whether at the workplace or on the road. Dr Goh, who specialises in sleep surgery and medicine, said fatigue-related crashes are often under reported, yet they pose a significant risk, particularly among drivers who embark on long-haul journeys with inadequate rest. While microsleep is frequently associated with obstructive sleep apnoea, other sleep disorders can also contribute to its occurrence. 'These conditions include insomnia, restless legs syndrome, epilepsy and narcolepsy may all lead to episodes of microsleep, making accurate diagnosis by a medical professional essential,' said Dr Goh. Dr Louis Adaikalam, president of the Malaysia Sleep Apnea Association, said there are enough hints that microsleep is behind a significant number of road crashes in Malaysia. 'In fact, microsleep has been linked to several major industrial accidents, along with lots of road accidents,' he said. He believes that the emergence of the gig economy is also a contributing factor to sleep deprivation, where some people attempt to be e-hailing drivers or couriers after their official day job. 'Some people are sacrificing sleep to earn more, and of course, there is obstructive sleep apnoea and other sleep-related issues that need medical diagnosis. 'For example, fatigue can also be caused by diabetes or heart problems, which in turn, can lead to more dangerous driving such as greater risk-taking on the road,' said Louis. Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research director-general Assoc Prof Dr Siti Zaharah Ishak said a collaboration is on the cards with a company to offer courses on managing microsleep at the workplace. 'This is being done through capacity-building and innovative training,' she said. Get enough rest: Based on statistics provided by the police, drivers falling asleep due to fatigue caused over 1,300 fatalities on the road.— AZMAN GHANI/The Star 'Miros will also conduct more studies on sleep deprivation and its relation to road safety.' In 2023, Malaysia recorded 598,635 incidents that resulted in 6,443 fatalities, with nearly two-thirds of deaths coming from motorcyclists and pillion riders. Based on the last statistics provided by the police, 1,305 fatalities were attributed to drivers falling asleep due to fatigue between 2011 and 2021. Datuk Ng Koong Sinn, president of the Malaysia Trucking Federation, said drivers under his company must take a 30-minute break after every four hours of driving. 'They are only allowed to drive up to eight hours a day, while the daily work hours (inclusive of driving) cannot exceed 12 hours.' Another major logistics grouping, the Association of Malaysian Hauliers, acknowledged the risks posed by fatigue and microsleep among commercial drivers. 'Many of our members have implemented internal policies such as ensuring drivers are sufficiently rested before long hauls, providing safety bonuses for accident-free records, and encouraging break intervals where possible,' said association secretary Mohamad Azuan Masud. 'However, the reality on the road now poses several operational challenges. Long waiting times at port terminals, container depots and customer premises often stretch a driver's working hours unpredictably. 'The common practice of customers only allowing deliveries during office hours further restricts flexibility, while the ongoing driver shortage worsens the situation. 'Additionally, peak-hour road ban on heavy vehicles and a lack of proper rest facilities or parking bays at many R&R stops along highways make it harder for drivers to rest safely and on schedule,' said Azuan. 'Our members remain committed to upholding safety and continue to find ways to support their drivers through better scheduling, incentives, and the adoption of technology like Advanced Driver Assistance Systems where feasible.'

Louis Tomlinson's 'uncomfortable' gesture to Zara McDermott shows 'distance'
One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and Zara McDermott appear head over heels for each other on their latest getaway, but an expert has claimed there's some distance between them Louis Tomlinson's romance with Zara McDermott is very clearly in its early days as they have been packing on the PDA, yet they may still have a way to go according to a body language expert. There is no shortage of attraction between the new couple as things heated up on their latest getaway. The One Direction star, 33, was seen getting up close and personal with Love Island's Zara, 28, on a romantic break in Costa Rica. He was spotted playfully grabbing onto Zara's bum as they shared a passionate kiss on their tropical adventure. Louis and Zara were seen embracing and sharing kisses as they explored their stunning surroundings. Body language expert Judi James has told the Mirror that amid the couple's blissful honeymoon period, there may be some issues at play. She told us: "There's an air of casual sexuality from Louis here as he grabs Zara's bum to hold her to the side of his own torso as he holds a cigarette in his free hand. "Keeping his torso facing front, suggesting an uncommitted approach, he leans in for a kiss while she is fully facing him with both her arms around him although not extended to embrace him fully, suggesting some reservation." Judi added of a snap of the pair driving down the street on a quadbike: "Louis looks totally happy in charge of the bike, where there is an expression of total enjoyment on his face, giving the impression that he enjoys some of the playful rituals with Zara as much as the flirty ones." She then addressed one photo that showed Louis turning away from Zara with his hand on her chest. Judi said: "But why the extended arm pushing her away in one of the photos? "His hand is on her chest in a rather uncomfortable-looking gesture of distancing here. She looks rather surprised, with her own hand on his wrist in what looks like an attempt to stop the extended hand, while her head is cocked in a gesture suggesting puzzlement. "But his expression is more of a facial gurn, with the lips pursed and pushed out in what is often a sign of a sulk. This sexy but unsynchronized body language and the facial gazing suggests that, although they might be close, they don't quite understand each other yet." "One or both of them might be difficult to read, leading to a lack of mirroring or truly relaxed-looking behaviors," she concluded. Zara flew 5,000 miles to join Louis for the romantic trip while he worked on his upcoming album. It has been claimed by insiders that Louis splashed thousands for Zara to join him, flying her first class from London to Costa Rica after she attended the TV BAFTAs. Earlier this week, the pair were spotted on a loved-up meal together. Zara and Louis looked head over heels for each other as they shared a passionate kiss at the Banana Beach Restaurant by the ocean. The Love Island star, who split from Sam Thompson at the start of the year, wrapped her arms around his neck, and Louis held on to her waist as they leaned in for a kiss. One moment showed him place his arm over her chest and shoulder as the two giggled about their topic of conversation. The new couple were the target of romance rumours earlier this year when eagle-eyed fans noted that they followed each other on social media, and Louis' sisters Lottie, Daisy and Phoebe all followed the Strictly star on Instagram. Meanwhile, Louis's sister Lottie recently opened up about their relationship and admitted she's waiting to put Zara on babysitting duties. 'Yeah, she is amazing, and they are really happy. I'm really happy for him,' she told OK! Magazine.
