KOTA TINGGI, April 20 — A 71-year-old man has been remanded for seven days until April 26 in connection with a shooting incident in Taman Kota Jaya that left three people dead yesterday.
KUALA LUMPUR, April 9 — Malaysia’s campaign at the 2026 El Gouna International Squash Open came to an end after national player S. Sivasangari was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Egypt’s Nour El Sherbini yesterday.
World No. 6 Sivasangari put up a strong challenge but was unable to overcome the world No. 2, who secured a straight-games win 12-10, 11-8, 11-9 in a tightly contested match.
The defeat ended Sivasangari’s run in the prestigious tournament. Sherbini, meanwhile, advanced to the semi-finals and will face either Olivia Weaver of the United States or Britain’s Georgina Kennedy.
In the men’s competition, Malaysia’s challenge also ended early as Ng Eain Yow was knocked out in the second round after a 11-7, 11-2, 11-8 defeat to New Zealand’s world No. 2 Paul Coll. — Bernama
