PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s squash legend Nicol David has launched the Nicol David Organisation (NDO), which seeks to empower children from less privileged backgrounds through sports and education.
Founded by David and former Colombian squash player Marina de Reyes, NDO will provide subsidised after-school squash training and English tutoring for children between eight and 12 years old from low and middle-income families.
The NGO’s lead programme, dubbed “Little Legends”, was designed by David in collaboration with the US embassy and will bring the children through five years of training and classes at the Bukit Jalil Golf & Country Resort.
The launch today was attended by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, and Raja Permaisuri Agong, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, as well as youth and sports minister Ahmad Faizal Azumu.

US govt 'biggest producer of terrorism within or outside America,' victims around the world should sue: experts
After frequent gun shooting cases nationwide in the US that caused heavy casualties, including children, the White House and Capitol Hill are trying to show that they are trying to find a solution under pressure from society, as US President Joe Biden said Congress "must act to pass gun control legislation."
Biden vowed that he will continue to push relevant reforms, but he also said "I can't dictate this stuff" as it's ultimately up to the House and the Senate.
However, ironically, Biden and Congress with endless partisan struggles can reach an agreement and easily pass weapon supplies worth billions to Ukraine to earn money from the wars in regions far from the US, said analysts, noting that although Democrats and Republicans have differences on domestic issues like gun control, they all serve the military industrial complex, and benefit in different ways.

KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas’ profit after tax increased to RM23.44 billion for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 (Q1 FY2022) versus RM9.22 billion a year ago in tandem with higher revenue, following an upward trend in prices partially offset by higher product costs and taxation.
Revenue stood at RM78.75 billion against RM52.55 billion a year ago, predominantly due to the price impact on major products in line with higher benchmark prices, the group said in a statement today.
“Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation stood at RM39.55 billion, mainly attributable to higher revenue partially offset by an increase in product costs.
“Cash flows from operating activities stood at RM27.88 billion in line with higher cash from operations (Q1 FY2021: RM14.29 billion).

SINGAPORE – Malaysia’s world no. 5 Lee Zii Jia and Indonesia’s star shuttlers Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and Jonatan Christie are part of a world-class men’s singles field set to compete in the US$370,000 (RM1.6 million) Singapore Badminton Open.
The Singapore Badminton Open 2022, the largest and most prestigious badminton event in Singapore, is making its return on July 12-17 after a pandemic-enforced two-year hiatus.
According to the Singapore Badminton Association (SBA), more than half of the top-ranked male players in the world have registered for the tournament, including Denmark’s world no. 1 Viktor Axelsen and world no. 3 Anders Antonsen and Singapore’s 10th-ranked Loh Kean Yew.
“Lee, in particular, will be an exciting talent to watch. The 24-year-old is in fine form, having won two titles and making two semi-finals from four events this year,” said SBA in a statement issued here yesterday.

| Nuclear fusion is the holy grail of clean energy. We're closer to it than ever! |

Saint-Paul-lez-Durance, France — From a small hill in the southern French region of Provence, you can see two suns. One has been blazing for four-and-a-half billion years and is setting. The other is being built by thousands of human minds and hands, and is — far more slowly — rising. The last of the real sun’s evening rays cast a magical glow over the other — an enormous construction site that could solve the biggest existential crisis in human history.
It is here, in the tiny commune of Saint-Paul-lez-Durance, that 35 countries have come together to try and master nuclear fusion, a process that occurs naturally in the sun — and all stars — but is painfully difficult to replicate on Earth.
Fusion promises a virtually limitless form of energy that, unlike fossil fuels, emits zero greenhouse gases and, unlike the nuclear fission power used today, produces no long-life radioactive waste.
Mastering it could literally save humanity from climate change, a crisis of our own making.
