Pengasas seni silat lincah, Omardin meninggal dunia

Pendekar Malaysia, Tan Sri Omardin Mauju meninggal dunia di Hospital Tawakal awal pagi ini, akibat komplikasi buah pinggang.

Pengasas Pertubuhan Seni Silat Lincah Malaysia berusia 74 tahun itu meninggal dunia pada 3.20 pagi ini setelah 15 hari menerima rawatan di hospital itu, menurut anak Allahyarham, Senator Datuk Megat Zulkarnain.

"Sebelum ini arwah ada menghidap barah tulang, daripada barah itu dia mengalami komplikasi buah pinggang dan telah mendapatkan rawatan di Hospital Tawakal selama 15 hari," katanya ketika dihubungi Bernama hari ini.

Beliau berkata jenazah akan disembahyangkan di Kompleks Lincah sebelum dikebumikan di Tanah Perkuburan Islam Kampung Puah, Gombak selepas Zohor.

Allahyarham meninggalkan isteri Puan Sri Raja Azizah Raja Ahmad Shah dan dua anak lelaki.

Omardin dipilih sebagai penerima pertama Anugerah Pendekar Malaysia pada Julai 2011.

Anugerah berkenaan disampaikan oleh Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak pada majlis perhimpunan PSSLM bersempena 50 tahun pertubuhan itu.

Anugerah khas itu diwujudkan melalui Kementerian Penerangan, Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan ketika itu sebagai pengiktirafan tertinggi negara kepada bidang seni mempertahankan diri.

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.
