KL cop killed while tailing street racer during Ops Samseng Jalanan along Jalan Kuching
KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 — A traffic police officer was killed in an accident while on duty during an anti-street racing operation in Kuala Lumpur early this morning. Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said Lance Corporal Muhammad Amirul Aiman Muhammad Othman, 24, died in the incident at about 4.40am. 'He was involved in an accident while carrying out Phase Two of Ops Samseng Jalanan, which started at midnight,' he told Utusan Malaysia. 'At the time, he and another officer were following a motorcyclist who had been performing illegal stunts. They were tailing the rider, not in pursuit. 'As they approached the slip road from Jalan Tun Razak to Jalan Kuching, the officer lost control — likely due to the wet road conditions — and crashed.' Zamzuri said the officer fell to the left side of the road, and the second officer, who was about 10 seconds behind, also lost control and fell. Amirul was believed to have died at the scene, while the other officer sustained minor injuries. He had served with JSPT Kuala Lumpur since completing his training about four years ago and had been assigned to the Intelligence and Operations Division for the past year. He is survived by his wife and three children, and will be laid to rest in his hometown in Terengganu today.

This is a locator map for Egypt with its capital, Cairo. (AP Photo) CAIRO — A truck and a microbus collided on a road in Egypt on Friday, killing 19 people, officials said. The microbus was carrying workers on a regional road in the city of Ashmoun, in the Nile Delta governorate of Menoufia, as they were heading to their jobs, according to a statement by the Labour Ministry. Three people survived the crash. The victims, including the injured, were transferred to General Ashmoun hospital, according to local media reports. Labour Minister Mohamed Gebran ordered authorities to take the necessary measures to disburse compensation to victims' families, sending up to 200,000 Egyptian pounds (about US$4,000) to the families of those deceased and 20,000 Egyptian pounds ($400) to each injured person. Menoufia's governor, Ibrahim Abu Leimon. said that the cause of the crash would be urgently investigated, and he called on the transportation ministry to reassess safety measures on the regional road, according to local media outlet Al-Masry Al-Youm. Deadly traffic collisions claim thousands of lives every year in Egypt, which has a poor transportation safety record. Speeding, bad roads and poor enforcement of traffic laws are the main reasons behind most of the crashes. The Associated Press
