SRG. OG beat Homebois to top MLBB standings

KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor Red Giants (SRG. OG) reaffirmed their dominance in Season 15 of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Professional League Malaysia (MPL MY) by brushing aside Homebois in commanding fashion on Saturday.
Heading into the match, both sides were unbeaten and shared the top spot in the standings.
However, in the much-anticipated top-of-the-table clash, SRG. OG delivered a resounding 2-0 victory over Homebois at the Juara Stadium in Bukit Kiara, taking possession of the lead with two games remaining in the regular season.
The win puts SRG. OG on course for a historic third consecutive league title and a potential unbeaten run — a feat they last achieved in Season 13.
"Hopefully, we can go undefeated again," SRG. OG coach Michael Angelo "Arcadia" Bocado told the media after the match.
"It's something that could give us an extra boost going into the playoffs.
SRG. OG claimed 12 straight victories in Season 13 to secure their maiden league title in early 2024.
They then carried that flawless form into the Mid Season Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, last July — making history as the first Malaysian eSports team to win an international title.

It's heartbreak again for Rachel after losing in final of Asian Championships

PETALING JAYA: National squash player Rachel Arnold's hopes of becoming Asian champion were dashed after she fell to Hong Kong's Ho Tze Lok in the women's individual final of the Asian Championships on Saturday (June 21). Top seed Rachel was overpowered by third seed Tze Lok, who, despite Rachel's effort to win a set, walked away with the title by winning 11-4, 10-12, 11-4, 11-0 in 36 minutes at the Sarawak Squash Centre in Kuching. It was heartbreak for Rachel as she was poised to win the tournament after also finishing in second place at the 2021 edition. Then, she had lost to another Hong Kong player, Tong Tsz Wing in Pakistan. The last Malaysian to win the women's Asian title was Datuk Nicol David back in 2015.

Sri Pahang's absence a big loss

KUALA LUMPUR: Sri Pahang FC's decision to skip the 2025/2026 Malaysia League (M-League) season is a big loss to Malaysian football, said former Pahang coach Datuk Zainal Abidin Hassan. Zainal, who was also a legend of The Elephants squad, admitted to being affected by the development, as the team not only have a long history in Malaysian football — including winning the Super League, Malaysia Cup and FA Cup — but have also produced many national players. 'This is a sad decision ... however, we must respect it (the decision not to compete). But it's a great loss. 'A huge loss for the country's football, the league and Pahang. I hope the situation will recover and Pahang will return,' he said after attending the WRA Academy Football Clinic at the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council Stadium here today. However, the Football Association of Malaysia executive committee member believes that talent development in Pahang will not be affected by this. 'In my view, what's missing is the senior team, but the youth teams are still active. That's a positive move. 'I hope these young players won't give up and will work hard to restore Pahang's image until the team returns to the top league,' said Zainal, who won the Malaysia Cup with Pahang in 1983 and 1992 as a player. Yesterday, the Malaysian Football League announced in a statement that Sri Pahang, despite having obtained the 2025–2026 National Licence, had submitted a confirmation letter dated June 16, 2025, stating its decision to withdraw from the M-League. Sri Pahang finished eighth in last season's Super League with 29 points. The last title won by Sri Pahang was the 2018 FA Cup.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian shuttler Ong Yew Sin's courtship with Japanese badminton player Aya Ohori has turned into nuptial bliss. The lovebirds got married at the National Registration Department (NRD) in Melaka two days ago. Yew Sin and Ohori signed their marriage registration before NRD officer Nur Fatehah Razali, witnessed by representatives from both families. Melaka NRD said in a statement it is honoured to being part of the couple's marriage, and extended its well wishes to their union, which brings together two cultures, Yew Sin, 30, won a men's doubles bronze medal at the 2021 World Championships with Teo Ee Yi, and is currently ranked No. 31 in the world. Ohori, 28, won the Thailand Masters and the 2024 Australian Open before announcing her retirement earlier this year. "Different countries, different cultures, different lifestyles. We've learned to adapt, accept each other's ways of life, and understand one another's cultures over the years," Yew Sin wrote in a post in March. Yew Sin and Ohori have joined a distinguished list of badminton power couples. Malaysia boasts some of the most well-known pairs, including Datuk Lee Chong Wei and Wong Mew Choo, and Goh Soon Huat and Shevon Lai. Other notable couples include China's Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang, and Chen Long and Wang Shixian, India's Parupalli Kashyap and Saina Nehwal, Indonesia's Alan Budi Kusuma and Susi Susanti, and England's Chris and Gabrielle Adcock. What makes Yew Sin and Ohori's love story particularly special is that they not only hail from different countries but also competed in different disciplines.
