In addition to the competition, the group is also scheduled to perform for two days at the Malaysia Pavilion during Expo 2025 Osaka, in conjunction with ASEAN Week, to introduce the rich heritage of traditional Malaysian music to an international audience. The leader of the Caklempong Acastra group, Muhammad Aidil Adib Mohd Nor Azizi, 15, from Setiu, Terengganu, said the breakthrough in their artistic journey came when they performed at the IMTC in Bangkok, Thailand, recently. 'Our unexpected success there paved the way for us to qualify for the finals in Fukuoka, Japan, an honour rarely given to new participants. As the group leader, I feel incredibly proud that we have the opportunity to represent Malaysia on the global stage,' he said in a statement to Bernama. Muhammad Aidil is known for his remarkable musical talent, possessing an exceptional auditory memory that allows him to identify and reproduce the bonang-caklempong melody by ear alone—an impressive demonstration of high musical intelligence. Another team member, Airil Muamar Azizi, 15, one of the top students at Pendang Science Academy, expressed his hope that he and his teammates will make Malaysia proud at the competition. Although Airil leads the school's robotics team and considers robotics his primary passion, he said that caklempong holds a special place in his heart. Head of the Caklempong Acastra delegation, Dr. Mohd Hafizi Nordin, described their participation in the IMTC and Expo 2025 as a pivotal moment for the students and a source of great pride.

Account executive loses over RM100,000 to phone scam
JOHOR BAHRU: An account executive lost RM139,565 after falling victim to a phone scam syndicate impersonating a police officer. Muar deputy police chief Supt Muhammad Aidil Roneh Abdullah said the 40-year-old woman first received a call in January from someone claiming to be an insurance company representative, accusing her of being involved in a fraudulent claim. 'The call was then transferred to another individual posing as a police officer from the Dang Wangi District Police Headquarters, who claimed the victim was linked to 21 police reports involving a non-existent investment scheme and that an arrest warrant had been issued,' he said in a statement today. Muhammad Aidil said the victim was instructed to open a bank account for investigation purposes and to deposit funds into it to resolve the matter. Convinced by the claims, the woman shared her bank card details and made 30 transactions between Jan 31 and June 17. 'The victim realised she had been scammed after all the phone numbers that had contacted her became unreachable. 'The woman filed a police report yesterday, and the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code,' he said.
