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.
SYDNEY, March 12 — A surfer in his 30s was fatally attacked by a shark while surfing at Wharton Beach, about 90km east of Esperance, Western Australia.
Police confirmed the man was “taken by a shark” after a search recovered his surfboard bearing bite marks but failed to find his body. The search has now shifted to a recovery mission.
This marks Australia's fourth fatal shark attack in recent months. In February, a 17-year-old girl was killed while swimming off an eastern island, and in January, a 28-year-old surfer died in South Australia.
In December, a 40-year-old pastor was fatally bitten while spearfishing in Queensland. — AFP
