Kite string slices motorcyclist's neck in freak accident on MRR2 near Kepong park
Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief ACP Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said that in the 6pm incident, the 27-year-old victim was riding his motorcycle in the middle lane when his body snagged a kite string, which cut his neck before the string snapped.
'The victim then stopped by the roadside and sought treatment at a polyclinic in Selayang for rope friction burns to his neck,' he said in a statement here today.
Mohd Zamzuri said the case is being investigated under Section 80 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for placing objects across the road, obstructing traffic.
Earlier, a 41-second video recorded by the victim went viral on social media, showing an injury to his neck caused by a kite string. The victim also requested police to take action against anyone flying kites near the road in question. — Bernama

The CMA: Compensation for Investors Affected by Violations Committed in the Shares of 'Watani Iron Steel Co.'
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, July 25 (Bernama) -- The Capital Market Authority (CMA) announces the completion of compensation for investors affected by the violations committed in the shares of Watani Iron Steel Co., which occurred before and after the company's direct listing on the Parallel Market (Nomu). These violations were committed by five individuals convicted under the decision issued by the Appeal Committee for Resolution of Securities Disputes (ACRSD), published on the websites of the CMA and the GS-CRSD on April 4, 2024. The decision, resulting from the penal lawsuit filed by the Public Prosecution and referred by the Capital Market Authority, obligated them to pay SAR 41.4 million in illegal gains resulting from these violations. The compensations were deposited into the accounts of the affected investors through the Compensation Fund, which was established pursuant to a resolution of the CMA's Board to compensate affected parties in accordance with the distribution plan approved by the CRSD. This facilitates the compensation process and ensures that entitlements are delivered to their rightful owners with minimal effort.
