Malaysia Pencak Silat Team Attacks Referees and Organisers After Controversial SEA Games Loss
Members of the Malaysian Pencak Silat team attacked referees and organisers following a disputed quarterfinal loss to host nation Thailand at the 33rd SEA Games yesterday.
Malaysian athlete Nor Farah Mazlan fought to a 60-60 stalemate against Thailand’s Jongtima Ruenthong in the women’s Class B (50–55 kg) category at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani. Officials awarded the win to Jongtima based on a tie-breaker rule, citing that Nor Farah committed more fouls. The decision angered the Malaysian team, who argued that Nor Farah had been more proactive and effective during the match.
Head coach Siti Rahmah Mohamed Nasir, along with Nor Farah and several staff members, protested the ruling. When verbal appeals failed, some team members physically assaulted referees and organisers, forcing security and police to intervene. The match was temporarily suspended before resuming, with the Thai victory upheld.
The incident has sparked debate over scoring fairness in Pencak Silat, a Southeast Asian martial art combining combat and artistic movements.

Bagi Peluang Kami Tadbir Negara PN Akan Buat Yang Lebih Baik Berbanding PH - Muhyiddin
Perikatan Nasional (PN) bersedia untuk mengambil alih sebagai kerajaan alternatif pada bila-bila masa, termasuk dalam Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-16 (PRU-16), kata Pengerusinya, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Dalam ucapan beliau, Muhyiddin menegaskan bahawa PN dan Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) sentiasa siap sedia, terutama ketika rakyat berdepan dengan kesulitan hidup akibat pentadbiran kerajaan campuran Pakatan Harapan (PH) dan Barisan Nasional (BN).
Beliau turut mempersoalkan langkah pelarasan subsidi oleh kerajaan yang didakwa menambah beban kos sara hidup rakyat.
