2019 is somewhat a bittersweet year for sports fans when two of Malaysia’s sporting legends announced their retirement from  professional squash and badminton – Datuk Nicol Ann David and Datuk Lee Chong Wei.

Although they’ve retired, the steady stream of awards seem to keep coming in.

Both Nicol and Chong Wei were recently conferred the “Prime Legacy Honours” award by IPEC Global Legacy, reported Astro Awani.

IPEC Global Legacy is a platform to celebrate the best and brightest benchmarks in legacy by individuals from various professions and communities. The organisation singles out icons and phenomenal geniuses from around the region and the world.


Both Commonwealth Games gold medalists were awarded for their passion and dedication in sports, as well as inspiring millions of people.

“I’m very happy. Congratulations to Nicol for receiving the award too. This is the first time I’m given an award alongside Nicol” Chong Wei told Astro Awani.

 “Too bad Nicol couldn’t be here to receive the award because she’s currently overseas. Nicol and I worked very hard and I’m pleased to receive this award.”

The Olympic medalist also added that he hopes that this award will inspire the younger generation to work harder in order to receive recognition.

Congrats to both of them, you guys will forever go down in history as Malaysia’s (and the world) GOATs!

Driver On Drugs With No License Kills Navy Officer In Fatal Johor Car Accident

BY NADZMI OMMAR     OCTOBER 11, 2020

Recently, a horrifying car accident in Johor Bahru shocked Malaysians. A white Myvi was seen speeding and crashing directly into a Honda Accord and a Proton Iswara stopped at a red light, killing the driver of the Honda Accord instantly.

The driver of the white Myvi was speeding on a mild downhill slope after rain in the daytime, losing control of her car and crashing into the waiting cars at the intersection.

The Honda Accord was flipped upon impact. The driver was a 31-year-old Navy officer, who leaves behind a wife and 3 young kids.

Fire and Rescue Station (BBP) Larkin Operations Commander Senior Fire Officer II Nordatul Badrol Abd Rahman noted that the car was extremely badly damaged, requiring a team of nine and special equipment to remove his body which was trapped in the driver’s seat.

The 23-year-old driver of the white Myvi suffered an injury in the head and neck and is currently receiving treatment at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital Ward.

Investigations later revealed that the driver of the Myvi did not have a driver’s license and the road tax of the vehicle expired just days ago on 8 October. She also tested positive for drugs, and will be investigated under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.

Johor Bahru Selatan District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Padzli noted that the driver was also under the influence of drugs at the time, and will be investigated under Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

The driver of the Proton Iswara, the third vehicle involved, managed to escape with only mild injuries.

  The relationship between resilience and mental health Having solid mental health doesn’t mean that you never go through bad times or experience emotional problems. We all go through disappointments, loss, and change. And while these are normal parts of life, they can still cause sadness, anxiety, and stress. But just as physically healthy people are better able to bounce back from illness or injury, people with strong mental health are better able to bounce back from adversity, trauma, and stress. This ability is called  resilience . People who are emotionally and mentally resilient have the tools for coping with difficult situations and maintaining a positive outlook. They remain focused, flexible, and productive, in bad times as well as good.  Their resilience  also makes them less afraid of new experiences or an uncertain future. Even when they don’t immediately know how a problem will get resolved, they are hopeful that a solution will eventually be found.
