US Doubles Reward For Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduros Arrest, Sparks Sarcastic Comments
The United States Department of Justice and the State Department doubled the reward money for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from US dollars 25 million to US dollars 50 million. However, social media users took a different route and opted for sarcasm to this reward announcement. US Attorney General Pam Bondi shared a video on the social media platform X and asked for information from citizens that could lead to the arrest of the Venezuelan President. She alleged that Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations like TDA, Sinaloa, and Cartel of the Sons to bring deadly drugs and violence into the U.S. "Today, the Department of Justice and the State Department are announcing a historic dollars 50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Nicolas Maduro," she said in the video. "Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations like TDA, Sinaloa, and Cartel of the Sons to bring deadly drugs and violence into our country. To date, the DEA has seized 30 tons of cocaine linked to Maduro and his associates, with nearly seven tons linked to Maduro himself, which represents a primary source of income for the deadly cartels based in Venezuela and Mexico," Bondi added. She added that Maduro is one of the largest "narco-traffickers in the world" and a threat to US' national security. Therefore, his reward has been doubled. "If you have any information to bring this criminal to justice, call 1-202-307-4228 or go online," the Attorney General said. Meanwhile, the US Department of State INL posted a 'Wanted' poster of the Venezuelan President on X, and wrote, "Nicolás Maduro and his cronies think they're untouchable. They're wrong. We're increasing our reward offer for Maduro to up to $50 million." Social Media In Frenzy? "Maduro lives in Venezuela and this is a photo of his house. Address: G35J+47F, Av.

Tng dancers fly Sarawak flag high at Malaysia Open DanceSport Championships
TDA dancers pose with Chan (back row, third from right) at the 4th WDSF Malaysia Open DanceSport Championships. KUCHING (Aug 7): Tyng Dance Academy (TDA), which represented Sarawak, has made a breakthrough for the state at the 4th WDSF Malaysia Open DanceSport Championships held at DoubleTree by Hilton Shah Alam from July 25 to 27. The competition, which featured elite dancers from across Asia, was held at DoubleTree by Hilton Shah Alam from July 25 to 27. The TDA dance athletes emerged with a total of 44 podium placements including 10 gold, nine silver and six bronze medals. 'The 10-gold haul is one of the highest ever achieved by a Sarawak-based academy in national Dancesport history, marking a milestone not only for the academy but for the state's rising prominence in the performing arts. 'Every step we take is intentional because our goal has always been clear: to let Sarawak shine on the world stage through the strength of our people and our craft,' said TDA founder and principal Chan Tyng Tyng. Among the standout performers was Claudin Tay Jiayen, who dominated both the university and adult open solo Latin events, securing five gold medals. Eight-year-old prodigy Jovanna Goh Yi Xian bagged three gold medals with winning performances in Cha Cha and Jive events. Ariella Tang Chen Xin brought home one gold in Jive and a silver in Cha Cha Cha. In the Junior and Youth divisions, Jayda Chang Xu Ern and Trisha Yap Tai Qii, each earned multiple podium placements, earning national and international rankings under both the Malaysia DanceSport Federation and World DanceSport Federation. Also making the finalist roster were Amanda Goh Suk Min and Bong Ker Chien who performed across all Latin solo categories. 'We train to win, yes. But we dance to honour our home. To stand on the podium and lift the Sarawak flag — that feeling is worth every drop of sweat!' Claudia exclaimed. That spirit was hailed by Deputy Minister of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development, Dato Gerald Rentap Jabu, who extended his congratulations following the championships. 'We are proud to have athletes who don't just compete, they represent. These young dancers have shown what it means to fight for Sarawak through hard work, precision and pride. 'This is the kind of excellence we strive to build,' he remarked. TDA is aiming for a broader mission beyond the medals. Dance serves as a platform for cultural storytelling and youth empowerment. According to Chan, each movement and discipline is rooted in a system developed in Sarawak, one that combines world-class training with local values. 'TDA's continued dominance at national and international levels is no coincidence. Rather, it is the result of a studio culture built on values, excellence and identity, one that quietly positions Sarawak as a new force in the global performing arts arena,' she explained. The Kuching-based Tyng Dance Academy is an internationally certified dance institution under the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), United Kingdom and ComDance, Australia. It is a registered member of the Malaysia DanceSport Federation and the organising body behind two of East Malaysia's premier dance events: the Borneo Open International DanceSport Championships (BOIDC) and Dance for Love.

The TDA suggestion was in light of the Telangana govt starting the exercise to prepare the master plan for Hyderabad metropolitan region 2050 a few months ago. In a letter to chief minister A Revanth Reddy, TDA president GV Rao and secretary Srinivas Goud said that to ensure sustainable growth, the carrying capacity of future satellite cities should be meticulously calculated based on the ideal population density for each area, with infrastructure development planned accordingly to support long-term stability and scalability. 'High density will result in harsh conditions as we are experiencing in Bengaluru and Delhi. All four corners of the city should have civil infrastructure of the same level with health, education and employment-generating corridors such as IT,' Rao said. TDA president said that as the city and suburban areas' population is growing by three lakh every year, the govt has to plan water for such a huge future population. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investire è più facile che mai BG SAXO Scopri di più Undo 'The govt has to audit present supply capacity, drinking and industrial water requirements in the future by appointing expert consultancy or any university on water requirements of the city for the next 50 years,' he said.
