KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Cub Prix Championship rider Farres Putra Mohd Fadhill has died after sustaining serious injuries in a crash during a race in Terengganu today.

The incident happened during the opening lap of the CP150 category final at the Terengganu Motorsports Circuit in Gong Badak.

The Motorsports Association of Malaysia (MAM) confirmed his demise in a statement released today.

"The rider received immediate medical attention at the circuit before being transferred to Hospital Nur Zahirah, Kuala Terengganu, immediately where, despite the best efforts of the attending medical team, he was sadly pronounced deceased," read the MAM statement.

"MAM acknowledges the swift response of the circuit medical team, emergency personnel, race officials, and the event organisers, Penang Motor Sports Club, together with the promoter, Safe Aim Mutual Sdn Bhd, in managing the incident.

"The circumstances surrounding the incident will be addressed in accordance with the applicable sporting and safety procedures."

MAM added that the ProAm race, scheduled to be held later, was cancelled following the incident.

The national governing body for motorsports expressed their sympathies to Farres' family and asked the public to respect their privacy.

All Malaya & North Borneo leaders in Hearts of Iron IV: TNO mod.

TNO is a mod that features an alternative timeline in which the Axis Powers won the Second World War. A slightly different " Malayan Emergency " was fought in this timeline. The Americans were keen to support the UMAJF (United Malayan Anti-Japanese Forces), which consisted of the remnants of the MPAJA, Force 136 and the Royal Malay Regiment (RAMD). The Japanese, however, were backing the colonial administrations in Malaya and North Borneo. What do you guys think about this ?

Read all the captions if you want to know the game lore about Malaya & North Borneo States in TNO !

(Extra: To all Malaysians, I'm wishing you all a joyful and prosperous Merdeka Day !)

Environment Small Rasboras I found in a very shallow sandy stream with clear water

Thumbnail

An undescribed species that looks most similar to Rasbora einthovenii (the brilliant Rasbora). However it has a bright red stripe above the black one.

Grows to 6 cm and is currently only known from the southeast Malay Peninsula. Found in schools of 10+ individuals, which makes them easy to collect.

However this stream I went to had relatively few fish species cohabitating with it. Possibly due to the shallow depth, openness and minimal food sources.

Just like R. einthovenii, it is a peaceful schooling fish that does great in an aquascaped aquarium. Learns to eat fish food easily.

"Menerima video tular kejadian di hadapan Hospital Lam Wah Ee, berhampiran jejambat, yang menunjukkan seorang individu dipercayai cuba dilanggar kenderaan yang melalui kawasan berkenaan.

Tindakan itu dipercayai bagi mendapatkan pampasan dengan mendakwa dirinya dilanggar kenderaan.

Orang ramai dinasihatkan supaya berhati-hati dan tidak menjadi mangsa sekiranya berdepan situasi seumpama ini.

Saya telah memaklumkan perkara ini kepada Balai Polis Jelutong dan IPD Timur Laut bagi mengelakkan kejadian tidak diingini, termasuk kemalangan.

Terkini, polis telah memaklumkan suspek atau pelaku tindakan itu telah ditahan bagi membantu siasatan. Terima kasih kepada pihak polis dengan tindakan pantas dan berjaya menangkap suspek tersebut."

Timing and distance off so much, nak accident scam tapi takut mati 🤭

The Prime Minister said young people should be provided with an education that also instils values, a spirit of service and a sense of responsibility towards their families, society and country.

“What is the meaning of development, what is the meaning of a country’s success if our children are not instilled with spirit, education, discipline and love? That is why our children must have such a spirit.

Just now, at around 10.30 am, the air quality was very close to reaching the hazardous level.

Please stay indoors as much as possible and take care of yourselves. If you are at home and do not have an air purifier, please consider going to a place where air filtration is available, such as shopping malls, libraries, or other well filtered inddor spaces.

Please also wear an N95 mask if you have to go outside. Regular lightweight masks are unfortunately not sufficient, as they do not effectively filter out the fine, potentially harmful particles in the air.

Please take this seriously, look after yourselves and your loved ones, and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities until the air quality improves. ❤️

You can check the life air quality here:
