Authorities have ended the search operation for the recent Miri landslide after the body of the 5th and final victim was recovered yesterday evening.  

Another 7 people were rescued including two who were injured.  

Following the incident, the Sarawak government has vowed to step up monitoring and eventive measures in landslide-prone areas, especially in places that are exposed to continuous heavy rainfall.

Two people have been injured, after two cars intentionally rammed into a crowd outside a nightclub in Jalan Klang Lama, KL.  

Viral footage allegedly showed the vehicles driving into the crowd, that was standing by the side of the road. 

They then made a U-turn, going against the flow of traffic before swerving to target the same group. 

Brickfields police are investigating the incident for attempted murder, and urged anyone with info to come forward.
