SUNGAI PETANI: Seorang pemotong rumput maut manakala seorang lagi rakannya parah selepas dirempuh sebuah kereta ketika melakukan kerja-kerja penyelenggaraan di Jalan Pintasan Semeling, dekat Bedong di sini hari ini.

Ketua Jabatan Siasatan dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik Kedah Superintendan Mohd Mahiri Hussain berkata, dalam kejadian jam 11 pagi itu dikatakan terdapat tiga orang pekerja sedang melakukan kerja memotong rumput.

Beliau berkata, tiba-tiba sebuah kenderaan pelbagai guna (MPV) yang dipandu dengan laju dikatakan telah hilang kawalan lalu terbabas ke bahu kiri jalan dan melanggar dua batang pokok di sebelah kiri jalan sebelum merempuh tiga mangsa yang sedang bekerja.

Akibat rempuhan itu mangsa pertama maut di tempat kejadian akibat kecederaan parah di kepala, manakala mangsa kedua mengalami kecederaan parah di badan dan patah bahu sementara mangsa ketiga tidak mengalami kecederaan.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
