The three-day event at Bukit Batu Pahat in Ampang Pecah attracted 56 paragliders from six countries – Malaysia, China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Singapore. It featured seven categories including Junior, Veteran, Women's Team and National. It was jointly organised by Hulu Selangor Municipal Council (MPHS), Kelab Luncur Udara KKB and CloudBass Venture, with support from Malaysian Sports Aviation Federation (MSAF).

'We not only celebrate the conclusion of a world-recognised competition, but also the soaring aspirations of Hulu Selangor as a regional hub for eco-adventure sports,' she said during the closing ceremony. Julaihah said although the number of participants was slightly lower than expected, due to scheduling conflicts with other regional tournaments, the presence of international teams demonstrated growing recognition for the event. 'A total of seven categories were contested, making this championship inclusive,' she said. Hulu Bernam constituency coordinator Datuk Mohd Isa Abu Kasim said Kuala Kubu Baru's natural geography made it ideal for air sports. 'Kuala Kubu Baru has a unique natural advantage with its hilly terrain, stable wind conditions and breathtaking views. 'This makes it an ideal location for paragliding,' he said, adding that with proper infrastructure, promotion and community engagement, the area could become one of the region's top sports tourism destinations.

7 Batang Kali eateries closed over cockroaches, rat droppings, other unhygienic conditions
HULU SELANGOR: Seven restaurant operators were ordered to shut down immediately for 14 days after they were found to have violated hygiene standards, despite repeated reminders and warnings from the Hulu Selangor Municipal Council. The municipal council said the offences were uncovered during Op Suci, a joint operation involving 40 personnel from the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Department (JPSPPA), the Enforcement Department, the Licensing Department, and Building Department. The operation, which targeted 18 premises in Batang Kali, showed several serious hygiene breaches. "These included cockroach infestations, rat and frog droppings, unwashed eggs, disorganised and dirty storage areas, and food handlers without valid Food Handler Training Certificates or typhoid vaccinations," the municipal council said in a statement. Other violations included the discharge of wastewater directly into public drains, poorly maintained grease traps and ventilation systems, and food handlers with long fingernails, wearing jewellery, and not using aprons, shoes, or head coverings. Some premises also failed to appoint pest control operators registered with the Pesticides Board. Following the inspection, the seven premises were issued immediate closure notices to carry out thorough cleaning within 14 days. Additionally, JPSPPA issued 30 compound notices under the 2007 Food Establishment By-Laws, totalling RM30,000, with no discounts offered.
