From young athlete to bedridden cancer patient
Compiled by DIVYA THERESA RAVI , and R. ARAVINTHAN AN 11-year-old girl, who used to be active in sports, now spends her days bedridden after being diagnosed with bone cancer, Sinar Harian reported. Rozita Nazari said her daughter, Siti Nor Khalisah Mustaza Abdullah, complained that her legs were aching after she fell during a long-jump in January. 'At that time, I didn't think it was serious and only applied ointment on her because she didn't complain of significant pain. 'However, a month later, she suddenly cried and said her leg hurt very much,' the mother said. Rozita, 47, took her daughter for an X-ray and later brought her to Hospital Tuanku Jaafar. She was hospitalised for three weeks and was diagnosed with bone cancer on May 28. Siti Nor Khalisah is currently seeking treatment at Hospital Tunku Azizah in Kuala Lumpur. > Snakes having a 'staycation' in a home located in Jasin have become a housewife's worst nightmare, Kosmo! reported. Siti Nor Hajar Bidin, 50, said she was traumatised after finding snakes in her house just a month after moving in. 'I did not expect to experience such a frightening incident right after moving in here. We had to call the Civil Defence Force three times within a month. 'In the latest incident, a black snake crawled under my child's bed. I screamed when I saw it. Luckily, it did not bite my child.' She suspects the problem stems from an abandoned home and unkempt bushes nearby. 'I lodged an online complaint to the Jasin Municipal Council, but there was no action. Last week, I also complained at the Jasin district office,' she added. > Fans congratulated Bella Astillah's son for completing a triathlon while cheekily noting that he was following in the footsteps of his 'papa', Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, Kosmo! Online reported. The Muar MP is also a triathlon enthusiast and a close friend of Bella, a singer and actress. Syed Saddiq also praised Ayden Adrean for completing the triathlon at just eight years old. Although Ayden is not his biological child, Syed Saddiq has been seen as constantly providing support to Bella's children.

Teen missing in Melaka forest while searching for cows found weak but safe after 32 hours
KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 — A 15-year-old boy with a learning disability who went missing while looking for cattle in a forested area near Kampung Permatang Pasir, Alai, was found safe early this morning after more than 32 hours. According to the New Straits Times, Muhamad Aidil Asyraf Fadli was found lying in the undergrowth behind a house about 600 metres from the Fire and Rescue Department's control post at 2.08am. 'He was given initial treatment by medical personnel at the scene before being handed over to the police for further action,' said Melaka Fire and Rescue Department public relations officer Mohd Hafidzatullah Rashid. He said the victim was found in a weak state and unable to move, and the search and rescue (SAR) operation was officially called off at 3.52am. The operation had earlier been suspended at 7pm yesterday after a search over a 2.4-hectare area yielded no leads. A total of 31 personnel were involved in the SAR effort, including 14 members from the Special Tactical Operation and Rescue Team of Malaysia (STORM), five policemen and four Civil Defence Force personnel. Villagers also assisted in the search, along with three sniffer dogs — two from the Fire and Rescue Department and one from the police. 'The operation was divided into four sectors and expanded to include riverbanks, with aerial monitoring conducted using a Fire and Rescue Department drone,' said Hafidzatullah. He added that SAR teams also drained two artificial ponds during the search. Meanwhile, Melaka Tengah deputy police chief Superintendent Halim Abas confirmed that Muhamad Aidil is currently receiving treatment at the Emergency Department of Melaka Hospital and is in stable condition.
