PETALING JAYA: The inclusion of Syihan Hazmi in Malaysia’s training squad for the final round of the Asian Cup 2023 qualifiers may have surprised many but Negri Sembilan coach K. Devan believes the lanky shot-stopper’s selection was the right choice. National coach Kim Pan-gon has shortlisted Syihan, whose career has been revived by Devan, as one of the 29 players for centralised training that began yesterday. The 1.85m tall player, who was part of the national Under-23 squad that reached the quarter-finals of the 2018 AFC Under-23 Champion-ships, endured a 20-month ban for failing a doping test while competing in the tournament and returned to play for Petaling Jaya City in 2020. But lack of playing time saw Syihan moving to Negri where he has been having a brilliant season. “Looking at his physique, no Malaysian keeper who is tall and big possesses his ability. He is hard to beat in one-on-one situations and very good in shot-stopping and positioning. “He will only get … [Read more...] about Goalkeeper Syihan’s inclusion spot on, says Devan

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline The Federal Reserve isn’t doing its job fighting runaway inflation—and unless the central bank tightens monetary policy and raises interest rates “more aggressively,” the ongoing stock market sell-off could well turn into a full “economic collapse,” warned hedge-fund billionaire Bill Ackman on Tuesday. Key Facts The Federal Reserve has lost credibility as it has failed to stop raging inflation, said billionaire investor Bill Ackman, founder and CEO of hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management, in a series of tweets on Tuesday. “Markets are imploding because investors are not confident that the Federal Reserve will stop inflation,” and with consumer prices surging 8.3% on a yearly basis in April, inflation is way “out of control,” Ackman said. The only way he sees inflation moderating is with more decisive action from the Federal Reserve, and if that doesn’t happen, the result will be a … [Read more...] about Billionaire Investor Bill Ackman Says The Fed Isn’t Doing Its Job Fighting ‘Runaway’ Inflation

(CNN) Chinese President Xi Jinping defended his country's human rights record on Wednesday, telling a visiting UN official there is "no need for 'preachers' to boss around other countries." Xi's remarks, made in a video call with the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet , are likely to add to the controversy surrounding a trip that critics say risks becoming a propaganda tool for Beijing. Bachelet, who arrived in China on Monday for a six-day tour, is expected to visit the far-western region of Xinjiang, where the Chinese government faces accusations of mass internment, forced assimilation, forced labor and forced sterilization against Uyghur and other mostly Muslim minorities. Beijing has repeatedly denied the allegations. But the trip -- the first by a UN human rights chief to China since 2005 -- has been dogged by questions about Bachelet's access and freedom to speak with locals unsupervised, raising fears … [Read more...] about ‘No need for preachers,’ Chinese leader Xi Jinping tells UN human rights chief

When Ravindra Jadeja finally turned around, his face lit up. Jadeja had seen his mentor, guru and idol Shane Warne walking around the boundary line, as India was closing out a win against South Africa at Cardiff during its triumphant campaign in the ICC Champions Trophy 2013. The match was still in progress as Warne joked with Jadeja. “Where’s my commission?” asked Warne. Jadeja broke into a smile, even while ensuring that he was keeping an eye on the proceedings. Warne was walking with fellow commentator and former Indian player Sanjay Manjrekar for the post-match TV commitments. A surprised Manjrekar asked Warne what that was about. “I always joke with him (Jadeja) that he has become such a big cricketer now, I deserve some commission for all the initial work we put in,” Warne said. … [Read more...] about A long read: Shane Warne and India were a match made in heaven
