Double victory for Selangor e-sports team
State awards outstanding performance of athletes THE Selangor Red Giants (SRG) e-sports team celebrated a landmark victory at the state's Sports Award ceremony, securing the Best Team accolade. Its co-founder Simon Lim Swee Teck was honoured with the prestigious Jury Award. This dual achievement signified a significant breakthrough for both the team and broader acceptance of e-sports within Selangor's dynamic sporting landscape. In an interview with StarMetro, Lim described the experience as 'surreal'. 'I've always dreamed of being an athlete or a coach, but I knew I didn't have the talent – not on the field, nor on the sidelines. So, to contribute as a leader in management instead means the world to me,' he said. The recognition for SRG, he said, was especially meaningful. 'Seeing the boys crowned Best Sports Team is a recognition of all the blood, sweat and sacrifices we've poured into this journey. 'We have always believed in doing things differently by building structure, instilling discipline and treating e-sports like a real sport. 'Yesterday, that belief was validated,' he said. Looking ahead, Lim said the team's next major goal was to go global. 'My dream has always been to bring the Selangor name to the world stage. Whether it's through international tournaments, exporting talent or forging collaborations, we are setting our sights beyond local dominance. 'We're not just building a winning team, we are laying the blueprint for a lasting legacy.' Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, who presented the awards, said the Selangor Sports Awards ceremony was held to honour individuals and teams who have demonstrated commitment, dedication and outstanding performance whether at the state, national or international level. 'We are proud that our female athlete Nor Farah Ain Abdullah was chosen for the national award. 'Tower runner Soh Wai Ching's achievements are not only impressive but also serve as motivation for other athletes.' The 2024 edition of the Selangor Sports Awards took place at Dewan Jubli Perak, Bangunan Sultan Salahudin Abdul Aziz Shah in Shah Alam. It featured eight categories: Best Male Athlete, Best Female Athlete, Most Promising Male Athlete, Most Promising Female Athlete, Best Team, Best Coach, Jury Award and the Leadership Icon Award. Winners of the Best Male Athlete and Best Female Athlete each received a trophy and RM10,000 in prize money. The Most Promising Male and Most Promising Female Athletes received a trophy and RM5,000 each. The Best Team category came with RM10,000, while the Best Coach, Leadership Icon and Jury Award recipients each took home RM5,000. Tey Hong Yu (table tennis) was named Most Promising Male Athlete, while Khew Zi Xian (aquatics) won Most Promising Female Athlete. Mohd Ariffin Abd Ghani (lawn bowls) was awarded Best Coach, and Datuk Haris Kasim received the Leadership Icon Award. Soh, who was named Best Male Athlete, said the award meant a great deal to him. 'I was honestly touched. I didn't expect it. 'I may have missed out on the National Sports Awards, but it's okay, this recognition from the state is something I'll never forget.' Soh is currently preparing for a Guinness World Record attempt in July. 'The target is 1.710km on a stair-climbing machine and it is the equivalent of climbing four PETRONAS Twin Towers stacked on top of each other. The current record is 1.704km.' He will also compete in the SkyRace at Merdeka 118 on Aug 30 – the world's biggest tower running event this year and host of Asian-Oceania Championship. Nor Farah, current world No.1 lawn bowler, was named the state's Best Female Athlete, a win she said came as a surprise. 'It's truly an honour. I didn't expect it, especially with so many top female athletes across other sports.' She has also received the Best National Female Athlete prize at the recent National Sports Award ceremony and is the first lawn bowler to receive such recognition. Also present at the state awards were Selangor youth, sports and entrepreneurship committee chairman Mohd Najwan Halimi and Selangor Sports Council executive director Mohamad Nizam Marjugi.

Investors in SRG Global (ASX:SRG) have seen fantastic returns of 728% over the past five years
Buying shares in the best businesses can build meaningful wealth for you and your family. And highest quality companies can see their share prices grow by huge amounts. To wit, the SRG Global Limited (ASX:SRG) share price has soared 554% over five years. And this is just one example of the epic gains achieved by some long term investors. In more good news, the share price has risen 17% in thirty days. We love happy stories like this one. The company should be really proud of that performance! Let's take a look at the underlying fundamentals over the longer term, and see if they've been consistent with shareholders returns. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Over half a decade, SRG Global managed to grow its earnings per share at 35% a year. This EPS growth is lower than the 46% average annual increase in the share price. This suggests that market participants hold the company in higher regard, these days. And that's hardly shocking given the track record of growth. The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). We know that SRG Global has improved its bottom line lately, but is it going to grow revenue? This free report showing analyst revenue forecasts should help you figure out if the EPS growth can be sustained. When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. We note that for SRG Global the TSR over the last 5 years was 728%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return. It's nice to see that SRG Global shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 77% over the last year. Of course, that includes the dividend. That's better than the annualised return of 53% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand SRG Global better, we need to consider many other factors. To that end, you should be aware of the 2 warning signs we've spotted with SRG Global . We will like SRG Global better if we see some big insider buys. While we wait, check out this free list of undervalued stocks (mostly small caps) with considerable, recent, insider buying.

Israeli singer left ‘shaken' after protesters rushed towards Eurovision stage
Israeli singer Yuval Raphael was left 'shaken and upset' after pro-Palestinian protesters rushed towards a barrier when she was on stage during the Eurovision Song Contest final, her team has said. The incident took place as the October 7 survivor sang her entry New Day Will Rise, which was greeted with cheers and boos, as BBC Eurovision commentator Graham Norton said there was a 'mixed response' in the arena in Basel, Switzerland. Israel finished in second place with 357 points, with the UK awarding the country its 12 points in the public vote. On Saturday, a spokesman for Israeli broadcaster Kan said the protesters 'were blocked by security officials, but Raphael was shaken and upset'. 'The delegation was needed to move location for 15 minutes,' he added. 'At the same time, a big anti-Israel protest takes place in the centre of Basel. Israeli national security council issued a warning to Israeli civilians in the city to keep a low profile.' A spokesman for Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR said: 'At the end of the Israeli performance a man and a woman tried to get over a barrier on to the stage. 'They were stopped. One of the two agitators threw paint and a crew member was hit. 'The crew member is fine and nobody was injured. The man and the woman were taken out of the venue and handed over to the police.' Swiss police confirmed the two people were handed over to them and that they have now been released. A spokesman for Basel police said: 'The organiser handed the two people over to the police. The police checked the two people and then released them. It is now up to the organiser to decide whether to press charges.' Earlier, there were pro-Palestinian protests near a free concert in the centre of Basel to demonstrate against Israel's inclusion, with a small group nearby also protesting with Israeli flags. Later the group advocating for Israel to be removed from Eurovision moved across Basel, where they were met by a significant police presence, and tear gas was seen being used. It comes after Raphael's rehearsal for the semi-final of the competition was 'disrupted' by six people with 'oversized flags and whistles' who obstructed her act. SRG SSR, which is organising the event in Basel after Nemo triumphed for Switzerland with The Code in Malmo 2024, said the group was quickly ejected from the St Jakobshalle arena. A spokeswoman for SRG SSR said of the incident: 'During the dress rehearsal for the second semi-final of the ESC this afternoon, the performance of Israeli singer Yuval Raphael was disrupted. 'Six people, including a family, disrupted the rehearsal with oversized flags and whistles. 'Security personnel were able to quickly identify those involved and escort them out of the hall. 'We would like to thank all the artists, delegations, staff, fans and guests, including many children, who are making ESC 2025 a unique experience. 'At the same time, we would like to emphasise that the organisers are committed to a neutral, safe, inclusive and respectful environment at the ESC.'
