Looks like the past of a man is out to haunt him. Recently a post went viral on social media which was about a security guard who had passed away due to complications from injuries sustained when he was brutally assaulted while on duty back in December last year.
The post was made by a family member of the victim which included pictures of the victim.

&nbsp;
The pictures described the conditions of the victim over the past eight months from the time he was in the hospital till the day he passed away at home.
The post has since gone viral with over 13,000 shares and hundreds of comments flooding justice for the man.
As frustrations grew, the family had resorted to social media as there was no concrete action taken by the authorities against the suspect.
The guard was unresponsive upon hitting the floor and the suspect had even tried to move him around.

&nbsp;
The incident happened at a condominium in Ipoh, Perak back in December 2020
The suspect who assaulted the guard was a homestay guest and had come down to the swimming pool area with his son which was situated on the 7th floor.
Due to the SOPs of the pandemic during the time, the area was still under the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) and the management had only opened the swimming pool for adults and had closed the children&rsquo;s pool. That&rsquo;s a bit odd cause if I recalled, pools were not allowed to be opened during that period.
The homestay guest was dissatisfied and still insisted for his son to play at the pool. The family member had also allegedly said that another security guard on duty at the time had informed the management office with the manager trying to reason with the guest to no avail.
The homestay guest then came with his son and started arguing and provoking him.
"My uncle explained to him the danger if he didn't follow the rules. After some time the homestay guest pushed my uncle's table with the intention to use it as a weapon to hit him. He was hit twice with the table and the homestay guest forcefully pushed him to the ground," said the family member.
"After he did it, all the while his son was with him witnessing all that, he (the suspect) was roaming around that area for some time and suddenly ran over to the management office to inform the clerk that the guard has fallen down and that he only wanted to help him&rdquo;.
The management office then saw the broken table and it had revealed the truth. The victim was rushed to Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh while the manager went to the Pekan Bahru police station to file in a report.
Meanwhile, the victim&rsquo;s wife had lodged a police report on behalf, but the police had refused to take the report.

&nbsp;
The accused was charged with Section 324 and was remanded for two days. Although he had appeared in court on 6 January 2021 under Section 335, he was out under bail while the victim was fighting for his life.

&nbsp;
Section 324 of the Penal Code covers voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons likely to cause death and carries 10 years behind bars or fine or whipping or any two of the punishments.
Section 325 of the Penal Code covers voluntarily causes grievous hurt and carries a lighter sentence of seven years behind bars with a fine if found guilty.
"We have waited for eight months due to some legal advisors asked us not to reveal anything but now we want justice and whatever damage the accused did to my uncle, he needs to face the consequences and face the actual detention," the family member said, adding that he needs to be held responsible.
Perak police chief Mior Faridalthrash had issued a statement to clarify the situation

&nbsp;
Bernama reports that the chief had acknowledge the incident and had noted that the suspect was charged under Section 335 with causing grievous hurt. Additionally, the case is scheduled to have a mention on the 9th of September.
In light of new evidence, they have reopened an investigation under Section 326 which covers voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapon or means likely to cause death and it carries a sentence of 20 years behind bars with a fine or whipping if found guilty.
The perpetrator has been identified as Noor Azhar Muhammad who is a Bersatu Youth division member in Kota Bharu, Kelantan according to a report by Malaysia Kini.
It is to note that the death of the victim was due to a lung infection (sepsis) but the family was still dissatisfied with it and still claims that the death was due to the assault.

&nbsp;
On 29 August, Ipoh Barat member of Parliament (MP) M Kula Segaran said that the wife of the deceased had come to see him asking for assistance.

&nbsp;
"As the victim has succumbed to death due to the injuries sustained, I urge the DPP to request the police to do a thorough investigation again and reclassify this case on a murder charge," he added.
"Nobody is above the law, and no one should take the law into his own hands. This case is also a reflection of a larger moral issue of the powerful, failing to comply with established rules and procedures and tendencies to act violently against the weak when ego needs are not met," said the local MP.

FIFA has apologised for its handling of the now-abandoned proposal to open the FIFA World Cup to private investment, admitting mistakes were made throughout the process while reaffirming its full support for president Gianni Infantino despite mounting calls for his resignation.
The governing body issued the apology following an emergency leadership meeting in Rabat, Morocco, after the proposal triggered widespread criticism from football associations, politicians and former players around the world.
FIFA Admits Mistakes Over Controversial Proposal
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/30136d9994e31d5c77b314a2cd34fe0318be567c09050cfa4b2dc4cb5effd6b9" />
In a joint statement signed by Infantino and FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafstr&ouml;m, FIFA acknowledged that the process surrounding the proposed FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) had been mishandled.
The organisation admitted member associations and the FIFA Council should not have felt excluded from discussions and also apologised for the way events unfolded after details of the proposal were leaked to the media.
"We sincerely apologise for these errors and commit to ensuring they do not happen again," the statement read.
FIFA added that it will conduct a full internal review, with the findings to be presented at the next FIFA Council meeting.
What Was FIFA Forward Enterprise?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/964b34f1d3fbffd0633a2fb9b637ab016502bf95387b5ce265cbd12199aeef98" />
The now-scrapped FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) was designed as a new commercial subsidiary that would oversee FIFA's biggest competitions, including the FIFA World Cup and Club World Cup.
FIFA said the venture could have been valued at around US$20 billion (approximately RM85 billion) and potentially raise US$4.2 billion (around RM17.2 billion) through private investment.
Under the proposal:
<ul>
<li>Each of FIFA's 211 member associations would have received a one-off payment of US$20 million in early 2027.</li>
<li>Funding for member associations between 2027 and 2030 would have increased from US$8 million to US$20 million.</li>
</ul>
While FIFA argued the additional funding would accelerate football development worldwide, many football stakeholders feared the plan would effectively commercialise and privatise the sport's most prestigious tournament.
Fierce Opposition Forced FIFA Into A U-Turn
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/13570fe90a1e7e75102bbe4ade84c9b456a18814a4967adde5afdcef01f81a52" />
Instead of winning support, the proposal sparked immediate resistance across global football.
UEFA strongly criticised the idea, describing it as a "shabby, back-room, opaque deal" and reportedly considered boycotting FIFA competitions if the proposal proceeded.
CONCACAF, which governs football across North and Central America and the Caribbean, also condemned the plan and called for "a comprehensive reckoning" with Infantino's leadership.
Several UEFA member associations reportedly withdrew their support for Infantino's expected re-election campaign, while criticism also emerged from political leaders and football legends.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly stated he no longer had confidence in Infantino's leadership, despite Canada having co-hosted the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Portuguese football icon Lu&iacute;s Figo delivered one of the strongest criticisms, describing the proposal as a "grubby" and "self-interested" attempt to profit from the World Cup. He argued that Infantino should step down, saying his resignation would be "not too late to save football."
FIFA Board Continues To Back Infantino
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a16c5e934fb7a77bb82a9c5497fdef00742c8ffc4b23b021c24b2c1c1974fd98" />
Despite the growing pressure, FIFA's leadership insisted it still had confidence in its president.
Following the Rabat meeting, members of FIFA's Management Board reaffirmed their "full support" for Infantino, describing him as the only official elected by all 211 FIFA member associations.
The organisation also stressed that although mistakes had been made in the handling of the proposal, it maintained that all actions were carried out in accordance with FIFA's rules and governance framework.
FIFA further stated it would "no longer tolerate attacks on its integrity, good governance and due process" following the withdrawal of the proposal.
Internal Divisions Surface
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d3adc574c9820ec24482d895beadcf87b1a764dd8c798b3afe637970322799a0" />
The controversy also exposed signs of internal disagreement within FIFA itself.
Reports revealed that Secretary General Mattias Grafstr&ouml;m had privately criticised the proposal in an internal email before the crisis meeting, reportedly describing the initiative as "sad and reproachable."
However, following the emergency discussions, FIFA presented a united front, with both Grafstr&ouml;m and the Management Board signing the public apology alongside Infantino.
Proposal Officially Withdrawn
FIFA confirmed that the FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal has now been officially taken "off the table."
The governing body said the project would have required approval from both the FIFA Council and its member associations before proceeding, but following the backlash, it will no longer be pursued.
Instead, FIFA will focus on rebuilding trust within the football community while reviewing how such major proposals are developed and communicated in future.
Although Infantino has survived the immediate leadership crisis with the backing of FIFA's board, the failed investment plan has left his presidency under increased scrutiny ahead of the next FIFA presidential election, where questions over governance and transparency are expected to remain key issues.

FIFA Apologises After Scrapping Controversial World Cup Investment Plan Amid Leadership Backlash

Just days after a Malaysian airline pilot was arrested in Indonesia over an alleged drug trafficking operation, another Malaysian has been detained in a separate case, intensifying concerns over whether international drug syndicates are increasingly recruiting Malaysians as couriers.
The latest arrest involved a 22-year-old Malaysian from Johor, who was allegedly caught attempting to smuggle nearly one kilogram of methamphetamine and more than 1,000 ecstasy pills into Indonesia through Juanda International Airport in Surabaya.
The incident comes amid a string of recent arrests involving Malaysians in Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore, prompting calls for stronger cross-border enforcement and tighter security measures at Malaysian airports.
22-Year-Old Allegedly Caught With Drugs Hidden Beneath Corset
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4d50d158f3a851d96a427cc931977bf96d6f96a1fa0bbd1f2ce31ddb0d73237d" />
According to Indonesian authorities, the suspect, identified only by the initials DI, arrived at Juanda International Airport's Terminal 2 on Monday (3 August) aboard Batik Air flight OD352 from Kuala Lumpur.
During an inspection, officers reportedly discovered narcotics concealed beneath a corset wrapped tightly around his body.
Authorities seized four packages containing a total of 990g of methamphetamine and another four packages containing 1,089 ecstasy pills, with the drugs estimated to have a street value of approximately 2.79 billion rupiah (around RM715,000).
Officials also said the seizure potentially prevented the drugs from reaching an estimated 6,500 users.
According to investigators, the suspect claimed he agreed to work as a courier for an international drug trafficking syndicate because he was facing serious financial difficulties and mounting debts.
Juanda Naval Air Base commander Colonel Henoch Nasairus Virzawan said the suspect allegedly attempted to avoid detection by strapping the narcotics beneath the corset, but the concealment was uncovered during security checks.
The suspect and the seized drugs have since been handed over to the Sidoarjo Municipal Police, who are continuing investigations into the wider international trafficking network believed to be behind the operation.
If convicted under Indonesian narcotics laws, he could face between five and 20 years' imprisonment, life imprisonment, or the death penalty.
Follows High-Profile Arrest Of Malaysian Pilot
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/02f61b4b7b3cdea40869696598bb55e8b5122b8e37560869b4058dca09f6a1c8" />

The arrest comes less than a week after a Malaysia Airlines second officer was detained at Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in another major drug trafficking case.
The 39-year-old pilot was arrested on 28 July after Indonesian customs officers allegedly discovered 70,114 ecstasy pills weighing more than 25kg, together with a small quantity of methamphetamine, inside his luggage shortly after he arrived from Kuala Lumpur.
Investigators said the pilot had allegedly collected the drugs from an apartment in Ampang two days before the flight and was promised RM50,000 to deliver the consignment in Jakarta.
Malaysian police also revealed that the pilot allegedly admitted to carrying out previous smuggling operations, including transporting methamphetamine to Sabah before later moving around 7kg of methamphetamine into Jakarta.
A urine test conducted after his arrest reportedly found traces of methamphetamine, MDMA and cocaine. Authorities in both Malaysia and Indonesia are now working together to investigate the broader syndicate believed to be responsible.
Growing Pattern Of Malaysians Linked To Drug Smuggling Cases
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6102884e25e8bf121a5b5eb958b900398d50ae37b39b114c4953522a759669db" />
The two Indonesian arrests are not isolated incidents.
Within the past week alone, several Malaysians have also been arrested in neighbouring countries over separate drug trafficking allegations.
In Singapore, a Malaysian was detained at the Woodlands checkpoint after authorities allegedly discovered around 9kg of cannabis and 530g of methamphetamine hidden inside his vehicle.
Meanwhile, Thai authorities arrested three Malaysian men at Hat Yai Railway Station after allegedly attempting to smuggle 87kg of crystal methamphetamine concealed inside suitcases. The trio were reportedly promised the equivalent of about RM24,000 for the delivery.
The succession of cases has sparked concerns that organised criminal syndicates may be actively targeting Malaysians from different backgrounds rather than relying on traditional drug couriers.
Expert Warns Syndicates May Be Exploiting Vulnerable Malaysians
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bb70d7d047850c0a53a483df165807655d09501d7354f138643ea26ae2025ba6" />
Malaysians Against Rape, Assault and Snatch Theft (MARAST) founder Dave Avran believes the recent arrests point towards a worrying trend rather than isolated incidents.
According to him, international drug syndicates appear to be recruiting Malaysians from all walks of life, particularly individuals experiencing financial hardship.
He noted that the recent suspects include a commercial airline pilot, a young man struggling with debt and several others arrested across neighbouring countries, suggesting syndicates are broadening their recruitment methods.
Avran said Malaysia's strategic location between Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia makes it an attractive transit point for international drug trafficking operations.
He urged authorities to treat these cases not only as narcotics investigations but also as border security issues requiring greater intelligence sharing between the Royal Malaysia Police, Customs Department, Immigration Department, National Anti-Drugs Agency and regional enforcement partners.
At the same time, he stressed that everyone arrested overseas remains innocent until proven guilty in court.
Malaysia Reviewing Airport Security Measures
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/17227bf870d21ca39106b665622cf9aa181a8d4fe0458a8dd802161965343edf" />
The recent arrests have also prompted the Malaysian government to review security procedures at the country's airports.
Communications Minister and Government Spokesperson Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said the Cabinet is considering several measures following the pilot's arrest, including tighter aviation security and more rigorous screening procedures.
Among the proposals being studied are increased police deployment alongside Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) Aviation Security personnel, as well as a review of background checks and health screening protocols for pilots and co-pilots.
Authorities are also examining possible loopholes that may have enabled the alleged smuggling attempts to bypass airport security.
Police have already identified several leads in the pilot's case and are continuing investigations with Indonesian authorities to trace the syndicate's operations, identify additional suspects and dismantle the wider trafficking network.

Another Malaysian Arrested In Indonesia As Drug Smuggling Cases Raise Cross-Border Security Concerns

Licensed social media platforms operating in Malaysia are now required to verify users' ages using official identification documents, such as MyKad or passports, as part of new measures aimed at protecting children online.
The Ministry of Communications confirmed in a written parliamentary reply that the requirement has been in force since 1 June 2026 under the Child Protection Code (CPC), introduced through the Online Safety Act 2025 (Act 866). The rule applies to licensed social media service providers, including major platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, ensuring that only individuals aged 16 and above are allowed to register for and maintain accounts.
Age Verification Now Mandatory
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/13927103869a9ad2b459ac5e89cdc480abdba05b83f90e4f510f4b286f6b0590" />
Under the new framework, licensed platforms must implement age verification systems using recognised official documents, including MyKad, passports, birth certificates or other approved forms of identification.
The Ministry said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is actively monitoring compliance with the Child Protection Code. It has also issued written notices under Subsection 30(2) of the Online Safety Act 2025 to licensed service providers, requiring them to explain any instances of non-compliance and outline the measures they have taken to introduce age verification mechanisms.
The requirement forms part of the government's wider effort to create a safer digital environment for children by limiting their exposure to cyberbullying, harmful online content, sexual exploitation and excessive social media use.
Heavy Penalties For Non-Compliance
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cd7b30f8320b23261266c1ddba7d8674bba97f300349deccb44419cf1ad1ae53" />
Social media companies that fail to comply with the Online Safety Act could face substantial financial consequences.
Under Act 866, licensed service providers found guilty of breaching the regulations may be fined up to RM1 million, with an additional RM100,000 for every day the offence continues.
In addition, the MCMC has the authority to issue Notices of Non-Compliance and impose financial penalties of up to RM10 million, depending on the severity of the breach.
The Ministry revealed these details while responding to a parliamentary question from Senator Norhasmimi Abdul Ghani regarding the effectiveness of the Online Safety Act and Child Protection Code in safeguarding children online.
MCMC Steps Up Online Enforcement
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2752f911cf47796ab61f98dc8e8254430c25677fb16bcead36cd5e00c47b812b" />
Alongside enforcing age verification, the Ministry highlighted the MCMC's broader efforts to combat harmful online content and digital crimes.
Between 1 January 2022 and 31 July 2026, the regulator submitted 292,102 content takedown requests, with 279,875 items successfully removed &mdash; representing a 96% removal rate.
For unauthorised advertisements, products and services, MCMC submitted 20,114 takedown requests, resulting in 17,285 pieces of content being removed, an effectiveness rate of around 86%.
During the same period, authorities also blocked 17,418 websites. Of these, 5,103 cases (29%) fell directly under MCMC's jurisdiction, while the remaining 12,315 cases (71%) were handled by other enforcement agencies.
According to the Ministry, enforcement actions&mdash;including content removal, account suspension and website blocking&mdash;are carried out after assessing complaints, reviewing platform community guidelines and applying relevant Malaysian laws.
These figures were disclosed in response to a separate parliamentary question from Senator Musoddak Ahmad concerning the responsibilities of licensed social media platforms in tackling misleading paid advertisements, fake accounts and harmful online content.
Continued Action Against Harmful Content
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/783325754e4e4770a00c3b9282c5af9bc53f383b3a3d27cacaa605d527953cdd" />
The Ministry also shared enforcement statistics relating to online content involving sensitive 3R issues&mdash;race, religion and royalty.
From 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2026, the MCMC submitted 14,169 requests for the removal of 3R-related content. Of these, 8,750 posts, or 62%, were successfully taken down based on complaints received, platform community guidelines and applicable Malaysian laws.
Over the same period, the regulator investigated 462 offences under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588) involving 3R-related content. A total of 22 cases were prosecuted, with 16 cases concluded and six still pending before the courts.
The statistics were provided in response to another parliamentary question from Senator Mohd Hasbie Muda regarding enforcement against individuals who repeatedly misuse digital platforms to incite public unrest, provoke tensions or disrupt public order.
Part Of Malaysia's Broader Online Safety Push
The mandatory age verification requirement marks one of the most significant changes introduced under Malaysia's Online Safety Act, placing greater responsibility on licensed social media companies to verify users' identities before allowing them to create accounts.
With enforcement now underway and the MCMC actively monitoring compliance, the government says the measures are intended to strengthen child protection online while improving accountability among digital platforms operating in Malaysia.

Malaysia's Mandatory Social Media Age Verification Has Been Enforced Since 1 June

Malaysia may soon have a new way of improving highway traffic flow &mdash; not by raising speed limits, but by encouraging drivers to avoid travelling too slowly in the wrong lane.
The Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) has launched a three-month proof-of-concept (POC) trial introducing advisory minimum speed limits on selected stretches of the PLUS Highway and South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE). The initiative, known as Had Laju Nasihat Minimum, began on 1 August and will run until 31 October 2026.
Developed in collaboration with the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), PLUS Malaysia Berhad and SKVE Holdings, the trial aims to improve lane discipline, reduce lane hogging and ease the "phantom traffic jams" that often frustrate motorists despite the absence of accidents or roadworks.
Advisory Speeds, Not A New Speed Limit
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c22a2583c1404d04e69a2abd9c3dac50b4cc204704608492db9f2cd69e85a21f" />
Unlike conventional speed limits, the figures displayed during the trial are recommendations rather than legally enforceable minimum speeds.
Motorists will not be issued summonses for travelling below the advisory speed, and existing maximum speed limits remain unchanged. Drivers are also expected to adjust their speed whenever road conditions require it, including during:
<ul>
<li>Heavy traffic congestion</li>
<li>Heavy rain or severe weather</li>
<li>Poor visibility</li>
<li>Road accidents or obstructions</li>
<li>Roadworks or lane closures</li>
<li>Instructions from enforcement officers or highway personnel</li>
</ul>
MIROS stressed that the initiative is intended to guide drivers in choosing the most appropriate lane based on their travelling speed, rather than encouraging faster driving.
Recommended Speed For Every Lane
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/09e487bf31b0e5df9d5e17c780dd8073d90e701a67b6570091205c12f4e8a0a1" />
The advisory speeds vary according to the number of lanes on each highway section.
For two-lane highways, motorists are encouraged to travel at 80km/h in the right overtaking lane and 60km/h in the left cruising lane.
On three-lane highways, the recommended speeds are 100km/h for the right lane, 80km/h for the middle lane and 60km/h for the left lane.
Meanwhile, four-lane highways adopt a similar approach, with the rightmost lane carrying a recommended 100km/h, followed by 80km/h in the next lane, while the remaining two left lanes are set at 60km/h.
Drivers are advised to follow the overhead signboards installed at the trial locations, which display the recommended minimum speed for each lane.
Three Highway Sections Selected
The trial is currently taking place along three high-traffic corridors chosen based on traffic conditions, congestion patterns and infrastructure suitability:
<ul>
<li>PLUS E1 Northbound: Tanjung Malim to Behrang (KM400.1 to KM388.0)</li>
<li>PLUS E2 Northbound: Bandar Ainsdale to Nilai (KM267.8 to KM278.8)</li>
<li>SKVE E26: Ayer Hitam Toll Plaza to Bandar Saujana Putra (KM9.6 to KM16.7)</li>
</ul>
According to MIROS, these stretches were selected because they frequently experience unexplained congestion, have limited entry and exit points, and are free from AWAS speed enforcement cameras, allowing researchers to better assess traffic behaviour throughout the trial.
Traffic data and public feedback collected during the three-month period will help determine whether the initiative should be expanded to other highways across the country.
Tackling Lane Hogging And "Phantom Jams"
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3b8764c7c1933953c7386f03a99646b8c5a27c729ca4cee4eed45a6146f42e9d" />
One of the main objectives of the trial is to address lane hogging, particularly drivers travelling well below the normal flow of traffic while remaining in the right overtaking lane.
According to MIROS, when a slower vehicle occupies the fast lane, vehicles behind are forced to brake or change lanes unexpectedly. These repeated braking movements create ripple effects that can eventually develop into so-called phantom traffic jams&mdash;sudden congestion with no visible cause.
Large differences in speed between vehicles also increase the likelihood of rear-end collisions and dangerous lane-changing manoeuvres, especially when motorists attempt to overtake from the left.
Research has consistently shown that maintaining a more consistent traffic flow, rather than simply increasing speed, plays a significant role in improving highway safety and reducing congestion.
Encouraging Better Lane Discipline
As part of the campaign, MIROS is encouraging motorists to:
<ul>
<li>Choose the lane that matches their travelling speed.</li>
<li>Use the right lane primarily for overtaking.</li>
<li>Return to the left lane after completing an overtaking manoeuvre.</li>
<li>Avoid overtaking slower vehicles from the left whenever possible.</li>
<li>Maintain a safe following distance.</li>
<li>Give way to faster-moving vehicles approaching from behind in the overtaking lane.</li>
</ul>
The organisation's campaign slogan, "Jangan jadi punca trafik terganggu" ("Don't be the cause of disrupted traffic"), reinforces the message that proper lane discipline benefits all road users.
Lane Hogging Already Carries A Penalty
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f2225ee4dce2088d4d40d5377bbdc1ebae26d4979e0c104d6f10ee331e822ece" />
Although the advisory minimum speeds themselves are not enforceable, motorists should remember that lane hogging is already an offence under Malaysian road transport laws.
Drivers who unnecessarily obstruct traffic by remaining in the overtaking lane without passing other vehicles can face compound fines of up to RM2,000.
Heavy commercial vehicles must also continue complying with existing lane restrictions and maximum speed regulations, as the new advisory signs do not override current traffic laws.
Trial Will Determine Future Rollout
For now, MIROS describes the initiative as a research project designed to evaluate whether advisory minimum speed signage can improve traffic flow and road safety on Malaysian expressways.
If the findings show positive results, the concept could eventually be expanded to additional highways nationwide.
While the trial does not introduce a mandatory minimum speed limit, it serves as a reminder that safe highway driving is not only about avoiding excessive speed. Driving too slowly in the wrong lane can also disrupt traffic, increase crash risks and contribute to unnecessary congestion.
Ultimately, the initiative aims to encourage motorists to use the appropriate lane for their speed, helping create a smoother, safer and more predictable driving experience for everyone.

Could minimum speed advisories be the answer to Malaysia's lane hogging problem? MIROS has begun a three-month highway trial on selected routes.

According to Khairul Aming, the five fastest customers who purchase five bottles of Sambal Nyet Bilis during the product launch will secure a place on the exclusive trip.
The sale will begin during his TikTok Live session on Friday, 7 August 2026, at 9pm, where fans will have the opportunity to purchase the new sambal directly.
However, participants will need to take note of the payment requirements. Only purchases completed through DuitNow or FPX online banking will be eligible for the giveaway.
Payments made through debit cards, credit cards, e-wallets or PayLater services will not qualify for the competition.
The five selected winners will also be able to bring a companion, bringing the total number of travellers to 10 people. Khairul Aming confirmed that the entire trip will be fully sponsored, subject to the giveaway&rsquo;s terms and conditions.
Fans To Explore Venice, Verona And The Dolomites
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e08ad64eddfe4a1145c1e397fd32fe2b7175313fb192c8b9c75197a27ed3a508" />
The winners will travel to Italy in October, beginning their journey at Venice Marco Polo Airport.
The group will first spend time exploring Venice before continuing their journey by road to Verona, a historic city known for its cultural landmarks and connection to the famous Romeo and Juliet story.
From there, the trip will continue to its main destination &mdash; the Dolomites mountain range in northeastern Italy.
Known as one of Italy&rsquo;s most beautiful natural attractions, the Dolomites are famous for their dramatic mountain peaks, crystal-clear lakes and stunning landscapes that attract travellers from around the world.
Khairul Aming shared that the itinerary will include various outdoor activities, particularly hiking and exploring the mountainous surroundings.
He also reminded potential winners that the trip will involve plenty of walking and physical activities, encouraging participants to prepare themselves before joining the adventure.
Continuing A Tradition Of Giving Back To Fans
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fb0092766586284cf8a0c9fafd328e24a8b9ed18dd27dfd32b11583369eaf975" />
This is not the first time Khairul Aming has organised a special travel experience for his supporters.
Last year, he brought five lucky winners from his Rendang Nyet Berapi giveaway on a fully sponsored trip to South Island, New Zealand.
The trip included a variety of unforgettable experiences, including hiking around scenic mountain areas, a helicopter ride to snowy peaks, lakeside picnics, stargazing sessions, a cruise, farm visits and cooking sessions with Khairul Aming himself.
Reflecting on last year&rsquo;s winners, Khairul Aming highlighted that the competition was open to everyone, with winners coming from different backgrounds.
Among them were a dentist, a retired soldier and a student, proving that anyone had a chance of winning regardless of their profession or lifestyle.
The announcement of the Italy trip quickly attracted attention online, with many fans jokingly offering themselves as potential plus ones for anyone who manages to secure a winning spot.
Sambal Nyet Bilis Brings A New Twist To Khairul Aming&rsquo;s Popular Range
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a9831e6c7b324db498952a03c153ac6e2621418b486ee5220ef91ffe795e8805" />
Alongside the exciting giveaway, Khairul Aming is also preparing for the launch of Sambal Nyet Bilis, the latest addition to his successful sambal line.
The new product marks another milestone for the entrepreneur after the popularity of his original Sambal Nyet Berapi, which gained a strong following among Malaysian consumers.
Khairul Aming explained that Sambal Nyet Bilis was created to bring back the nostalgic flavours of traditional sambal, inspired by the taste and aroma of sambal commonly prepared by previous generations.
Compared to Sambal Nyet Berapi, the new version features additional ingredients including ikan bilis mata biru, green chilli and belacan, creating a richer and more traditional flavour profile.
He also advised customers not to be surprised by the amount of oil in the sambal, explaining that the product should be mixed thoroughly before consumption to ensure the ingredients are evenly combined.
Sambal Nyet Bilis will be sold at RM15.99 per bottle, with each bottle weighing 180g.
More Than Just A Product Launch
With a new sambal flavour, a TikTok Live launch and the opportunity to travel to Italy with Khairul Aming himself, the Sambal Nyet Bilis launch is expected to attract huge interest from fans.
The giveaway also reflects Khairul Aming&rsquo;s approach of building a strong connection with his audience by creating experiences that go beyond traditional brand promotions.
For lucky buyers, purchasing five bottles of sambal could potentially turn into a once-in-a-lifetime journey through one of Europe&rsquo;s most scenic destinations &mdash; alongside one of Malaysia&rsquo;s most recognisable entrepreneurs.

Khairul Aming Offers Fans A Trip To Italy With Sambal Nyet Bilis Launch Giveaway!

E-hailing drivers picking up passengers at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 will now be charged a RM3 entry fee, as Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) rolls out a series of upgrades aimed at improving passenger experience and easing traffic congestion.
The new system, which took effect on 4 August 2026, applies to all e-hailing vehicles entering the designated passenger pick-up area at Level 1 of the Main Terminal Building.
RM3 Entry Fee For Every Pick-Up
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9b9468fe95bd2b7c9eb2c449ae6b414ff027e1e9f5cf6588580de0caa7b9cb36" />
According to MAHB, the RM3 charge is intended to support the operation and maintenance of the airport's upgraded e-hailing facilities and digital systems.
E-hailing drivers will continue to be given a maximum of 10 minutes to collect passengers at the kerbside pick-up zone. Drivers who remain beyond the allocated time will face additional penalty charges, although the airport operator has yet to specify the amount.
The time limit is designed to improve traffic circulation, increase the availability of pick-up bays and ensure a smoother collection process for passengers.
Upgraded Facilities To Improve Passenger Experience
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7622ad09f76701a113761d5068830a1f4a01312f77120ebb9ca520ad93b85f89" />
As part of the enhancements, KLIA Terminal 1 has introduced several new features to create a more organised and efficient pick-up experience.
Among the upgrades are a Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) system integrated with the Passenger Information Display System (PIDS), allowing authorised vehicles to be identified more efficiently.
The revamped area also includes self-service kiosks, dedicated passenger waiting lounges, structured pick-up bays and on-ground marshals who will assist passengers while helping to manage traffic flow.
MAHB said the upgraded system will strengthen monitoring and access control, helping to curb illegal e-hailing activities by ensuring that only authorised drivers can access the designated pick-up facilities.
Developed With Industry And Government Support
The airport operator said the improvements were introduced following engagement sessions with e-hailing operators and in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport (MOT) and the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD).
The initiative also follows recommendations by the National Airport Facilitation Working Committee (NAFWC) as part of broader efforts to improve operational efficiency and passenger convenience.
Supporting A Smoother Arrival Experience
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c800f203dbbb2b5a24530e573ec44b039457cd83ad378d0132c4b398c6791fce" />
Senior General Manager for Passenger Experience at KLIA, Abd Hasman Abd Muhimin, said the upgrades reflect the airport's commitment to improving every stage of a traveller's journey.
He said a quality airport experience extends beyond the terminal itself, with every touchpoint playing an important role in ensuring passengers enjoy a seamless arrival.
He also thanked e-hailing operators for their continued cooperation in delivering a more organised and reliable first-mile and last-mile travel experience, adding that the improvements reinforce KLIA's position as a world-class international gateway.
Passengers Encouraged To Be Ready
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/83ae35dd4333a32e35395fbaf847fccc824c30b5324311b7751f2fa34370ff90" />
With the new 10-minute collection window now in force, passengers using e-hailing services at KLIA Terminal 1 are encouraged to be ready at the designated pick-up point before their driver arrives.
MAHB believes the combination of upgraded facilities, digital technology and stricter operational rules will help reduce congestion, improve efficiency and provide a smoother experience for both passengers and e-hailing drivers.
