SINGAPORE - Singaporeans raised $200,000 in humanitarian aid for the victims of the March earthquake that struck Myanmar , with tremors that were felt in neighbouring Thailand. In a statement on July 12, Singapore charity Rahmatan Lil Alamin Foundation (RLAF) said the amount was raised between April 2 and April 30 in a tie up with the Singapore Red Cross (SRC). The funds will go towards SRC relief efforts, which include distributing essentials such as food, water, and blankets, to quake victims. RLAF handed over the donations to SRC on July 12, and Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim attended the ceremony. Associate Professor Faishal, who is also Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs, said: 'This campaign is a testament to the power of collaboration, compassion, and shared responsibility.' He added that he was heartened by how Singaporeans came together to chip in for a common cause. He said: 'RLAF and SRC's partnership reflects our national ethos of being a caring and outward-looking society - one that responds not only to local needs but also steps up for its neighbours in need.'

SRC: Joe Davies signs for Pontypool after Dragons exit

The lock was released by the Rodney Parade club at the end of last season after making 137 appearances for the club. The 29-year-old from Caldicot has now signed a deal to play in Super Rygbi Cymru with Pooler, who were quarter-finalists last season. Davies played for the club last season when sent out for game time by the Dragons and is relishing a permanent return. 'I enjoyed my time playing at Pontypool last season, the supporters were great and me and my family were welcomed with open arms at the club,' said the hard-hitting forward. 'Pontypool Park is one of the most iconic grounds to play at in Wales and I can't wait to get started. 'Tom [Hancock, head coach] has put a great team together this year and I'm excited to be a part of it and add as much value as I can.' MOVE: Joe Davies has signed for Pontypool Hancock worked closely with Davies after stepping up from his Dragons academy job to temporarily help out with the seniors last season. The former fly-half believes the seasoned United Rugby Championship campaigner will add plenty of grunt up front while helping the younger members of the squad push on. 'Joe brings a huge amount of experience and know-how to our squad and will fit right in given he's already hugely respected from his prior times at the club,' said Hancock. 'When the opportunity to sign Joe came about, the decision was an absolute no-brainer for me. [Chairman] Peter Jeffreys agreed pretty much instantly too, which demonstrates just how highly Joe is regarded at this club.' Davies will join up with the squad in pre-season as they build towards their SRC opener against Swansea at Pontypool Park on September 13.

Responsibility for transactions lies with SRC International's board, says lawyer

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court was told on Tuesday (July 8) that the responsibility for transactions undertaken by SRC International Sdn Bhd lies with its board of directors and management. Lawyer Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee, representing Datuk Seri Najib Razak, submitted that his client did not exercise exclusive control over SRC's operations or the handling of loan proceeds obtained from the Retirement Fund Inc (KWAP). "The board executed all relevant transactions and bore responsibility for oversight. If any misappropriation occurred, it was due to the board's own decisions. Even taking Najib's purported instructions at their highest, he ultimately vested responsibility in the board to properly manage the funds,' he said. Muhammad Farhan advanced the submission during the hearing of SRC's US$1.18bil civil suit against Datuk Seri Najib Razak and former SRC chief executive officer Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, who remains at large. He further contended that Najib neither exercised control over the decisions of SRC's board of directors nor owed fiduciary duties to the company in the capacity of a director. "Any formal roles or shareholder approval rights he held were part of lawful governance structures and did not make him the 'controlling mind' of SRC in breach of duty. "In other words, responsibility, duty, trust - and ultimately, liability - rest with the board,' said Muhammad Farhan before Judge Datuk Ahmad Fairuz Zainol Abidin. The submission will resume on Aug 25. In May 2021, SRC, through its new management, initiated the suit alleging that Najib had committed breaches of trust and abuse of power, personally benefitted from company funds and misappropriated those funds. The company is also seeking a declaration that Najib is liable for the company's losses arising from his alleged breaches of duty and trust, and an order compelling him to repay RM42mil in losses purportedly suffered by the company. Najib is currently serving a jail term in Kajang Prison for the misappropriation of RM42mil in the SRC International funds case. On Sept 2, 2022, he filed a petition for a royal pardon. This led to his jail term being halved from 12 to six years and the RM210mil fine imposed on him reduced to RM50mil on Jan 29, 2024. - Bernama
