Family of late Sukma weightlifting athlete receives Perkeso benefits
KUALA NERUS: The family of former Malaysia Games (Sukma) weightlifting athlete Siti Noralyaa Mat Marzuki, who died last Saturday from breast cancer, has received survivor's pension benefits from the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso). Perkeso Terengganu director Suhara Mustaffa said the late athlete's parents and four younger siblings, aged between eight and 16, will receive a cumulative monthly pension of RM897 starting next month. The family also received RM3,000 in funeral management assistance under Perkeso's social protection scheme. "Perkeso remains committed to safeguarding the welfare of Terengganu athletes. Over the past two years, we've supported 25 athletes undergoing rehabilitation, including two Terengganu FC (TFC) players still receiving treatment at the Perkeso Rehabilitation Centre," she said during a visit to the family home in Taman Batin Perdana today. Also present were Terengganu Youth, Sports and Non-Governmental Organisations Committee chairman Hishamuddin Abdul Karim and Terengganu State Sports Council (MSNT) director Ahmad Shahrizal Yahaya. Meanwhile, the late athlete's mother, Rusmailaili Samsuri, 43, said the assistance has helped ease the family's burden as they cope with their loss. She said her daughter, the eldest of five siblings, was a key contributor to the household, especially in covering her siblings' education expenses. "After leaving MSNT, she worked at a petrol station to help support the family. My husband works as a bread delivery driver and I'm a full-time homemaker. "She was a good daughter. Most of her salary was spent on daily necessities and school supplies for her siblings," she said.

The pontoon used for the open water venue at the World Aquatics Championships in Sentosa on July 7. - ST SINGAPORE: The men's and women's 10-kilometre open water swim races at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore will go ahead on Wednesday (July 16), German Press Agency (dpa) reported, citing the organisers. The women's race was postponed from Tuesday to Wednesday due to the dirty sea at Palawan Beach. Both events were pushed back while water monitoring continued. A statement from the organisers of Singapore 2025 said water quality samples collected during Tuesday afternoon met the standards outlined in the World Aquatics competition regulations. The three samples taken along the course had shown "a significant improvement, with levels of E. coli falling between the ranges of 'good' to 'excellent'," the organisers said. "Regular water quality monitoring and testing continues throughout the competition period to ensure athlete safety, with the health and safety of all participants continuing to guide all competition-related decisions," the statement said. "World Aquatics and the Singapore 2025 organisers extend our appreciation to all athletes, officials, and supporters for their patience and cooperation." The men's 10-kilometre race is scheduled to start at 0500 GMT, followed by the women later in the day. - Bernama-dpa
