KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 — Two foreign nationals have become the first individuals in Malaysia to be charged in court for littering under the newly enforced anti-littering law, according to a report by The Star.
MONACO - 22 JAN - Monaco secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Aston Villa in the Champions League on Tuesday, keeping their hopes of advancing to the knockout stages alive. Wilfried Singo's early header, capitalizing on a misjudged save by Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, proved decisive. The win ended Monaco's poor run of form, having only won two of their last 11 matches, including consecutive Champions League losses. Despite dominating possession, Villa were unable to find an equalizer, with missed chances from Ollie Watkins, Matty Cash, and Jhon Duran leaving them frustrated. The loss dropped Villa from fifth to seventh, but they remain in contention for a top-eight finish and automatic qualification for the round of 16.
Monaco now sits ninth with 13 points, level with Villa and fourth-placed Arsenal, but face a tough final match against Inter Milan, where only a win will suffice to avoid the playoff spot. Villa, meanwhile, host Celtic in their final league phase match, seeking to secure their own progression. The encounter also highlighted Martinez's contentious role in Monaco, with fans booing him throughout due to his exploits in the 2022 World Cup final. Monaco's resolute defense and strategic counterattacks ultimately secured them the vital three points in a tightly contested match.
