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.
WASHINGTON - 5 JAN - A powerful winter storm has battered the Eastern United States, threatening over 60 million people with heavy snow, ice, and Arctic temperatures. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued winter storm warnings across a 1,500-mile stretch from Kansas to Virginia, predicting blizzard conditions, damaging ice accumulations, and snowfall exceeding 15 inches in some areas—the heaviest in a decade. Severe travel disruptions have already begun, with Kansas City International Airport temporarily halting operations due to ice.
The storm is expected to bring hazardous conditions, including freezing rain, sleet, and gale-force winds, leading to widespread power outages and impassable roads. Areas near the Great Lakes could see up to four feet of snow, while temperatures in some regions may plunge tens of degrees below normal. State governors have declared emergencies and urged residents to brace for significant disruptions and dangerous weather through Monday.
