Teen missing in Melaka forest while searching for cows found weak but safe after 32 hours
KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 — A 15-year-old boy with a learning disability who went missing while looking for cattle in a forested area near Kampung Permatang Pasir, Alai, was found safe early this morning after more than 32 hours. According to the New Straits Times, Muhamad Aidil Asyraf Fadli was found lying in the undergrowth behind a house about 600 metres from the Fire and Rescue Department's control post at 2.08am. 'He was given initial treatment by medical personnel at the scene before being handed over to the police for further action,' said Melaka Fire and Rescue Department public relations officer Mohd Hafidzatullah Rashid. He said the victim was found in a weak state and unable to move, and the search and rescue (SAR) operation was officially called off at 3.52am. The operation had earlier been suspended at 7pm yesterday after a search over a 2.4-hectare area yielded no leads. A total of 31 personnel were involved in the SAR effort, including 14 members from the Special Tactical Operation and Rescue Team of Malaysia (STORM), five policemen and four Civil Defence Force personnel. Villagers also assisted in the search, along with three sniffer dogs — two from the Fire and Rescue Department and one from the police. 'The operation was divided into four sectors and expanded to include riverbanks, with aerial monitoring conducted using a Fire and Rescue Department drone,' said Hafidzatullah. He added that SAR teams also drained two artificial ponds during the search. Meanwhile, Melaka Tengah deputy police chief Superintendent Halim Abas confirmed that Muhamad Aidil is currently receiving treatment at the Emergency Department of Melaka Hospital and is in stable condition.

Demand grows for racing fuel, IOCL expects surge in export
Vadodara: When superbikes roared down the tracks at the Asia Road Racing Championship 2024 in Thailand, few knew the fuel behind that raw power came from Gujarat. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd's Gujarat Refinery in Vadodara played a crucial role in the international event by supplying its high-performance STORM racing fuel — the first of its kind produced in India. "We began manufacturing racing fuel about a year and a half ago in response to growing demand. Until then, this fuel had to be imported, as no one in India was producing it," said Biplob Biswas, executive director and head of the Gujarat Refinery. "Apart from Thailand, our STORM fuel has also been used at two other racing events in India." Officials added that while a few more orders are in the pipeline, the majority of the racing fuel is currently exported. "We are considering supplying to western markets as well, but for now, production is based on confirmed orders," Biswas told TOI on Wednesday. In addition to racing fuel, Gujarat Refinery has also made strides in aviation energy, producing and exporting AVGAS 100 LL — a fuel that was previously imported. IndianOil has shipped AVGAS to Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia, and it is also used by the Indian armed forces. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Google Brain Co-Founder Andrew Ng, Recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo The refinery is now eyeing a broader role in the petrochemical sector through its Petrochemical and Lube Integration Project (LuPech). "With a projected investment of Rs 17,825 crore, LuPech will boost the refinery's capacity from 13.7 MMTPA (million metric tonnes per annum) to 18 MMTPA," Biswas said, outlining the refinery's ambitions of becoming a key petrochemical hub.
