MIMAC 3.0: Fans Spark Scuffle, Order Quickly Restored – Mohd Ezry Azamin

Spectator provocation has been cited for a scuffle during the Malaysia International Muay Championship 2026 (MIMAC 3.0) final, but swift action by authorities restored order. Perak Tomoi Association president Mohd Ezry Azamin Abdul Wahab said the trouble started when a Moroccan fighter accidentally kicked the downed Malaysian athlete, breaking the rules and angering the crowd. "Okay, in the final, according to the rules and regulations, when a fighter goes down, the other can't strike. But I believe it was unintentional. "The situation was quickly brought under control, with police providing excellent security," he told reporters after the match at Dataran Warisan here last night. The incident took place during the bout featuring national fighter Muhammad Nazifi Mat Nasir (GPY Ciko), who beat Morocco's Ousama Taoud in the 68-70kg category to win the Perak Malaysian Association of Youth Clubs (MAYC) chairman Muhammad Naim Al Amin Saharudin belt. Mohd Ezry Azamin said the fighter was one of four Moroccan debutants in Malaysia, with their participation status to be reviewed post-match. "I haven't decided anything yet. We usually do a post-mortem the day after the event, then make our call," he said. On future events' security, Mohd Ezry assured that organisers will ramp up controls through tighter cooperation with police and internal security teams.

US rescues “severely injured, very brave” F-15 fighter jet crew from Iran – Trump

ISTANBUL: US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the US had rescued a "seriously injured and very brave" F-15 fighter jet crew from a mountainous region in Iran, Anadolu Agency reported . Trump said on his Truth Social social media platform that the rescued officer was a “highly respected Colonel,” adding that such operations are “rarely undertaken due to the risk to personnel and equipment.” "The second rescue operation was carried out after the first operation, when we rescued the pilot in broad daylight, which was also extraordinary, spending seven hours in Iranian airspace. An operation that showed extraordinary courage and expertise by all parties!" he said. "I will hold a press conference with the military in the Oval Office, White House on Monday, at 1 pm," he added. Trump earlier on Sunday said the US had rescued a military officer in "one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in US history." Noting that the officer was injured, Trump said he "will be fine." He said the mission followed a separate operation to rescue another US pilot on Friday, which was not announced in advance to avoid affecting the second operation. -- BERNAMA-ANADOLU
