Runner Dies In Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010

Runner, Lim Ji Wei Dies In Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010


Its another unwanted incident happened in less than a year, a runner, Lim Ji Wei collapsed and died in a KL marathon race sponsored by Standard Chartered. A sense of deja vu perhaps ? Well, as most of you know, I lost my very best friend, Gary Leon Robert in a similar incident last year in the adidas King of The Road.


Based on Malay Mail's news coverage,
Two kilometres may proved too far yesterday for Lim Ji Wei, 25, who collapsed during the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010 and was later pronounced dead at Hospital Kuala Lumpur.


He was declared to have died of a cardiac arrest. His sudden death was not the only thing to jolt the other walkers who claimed medics only arrived 20 minutes later.


One of the runners, Yit Ming, himself trained in Emergency First Response, who stopped by collapsed Lim said: "There were three City Hall personnel who were watching the incident." Yit Ming stopped together with another medical student and a doctor to help Lim by giving him CPR for about 20 minutes.


"I even asked one of other runners to get the medics as soon as possible." Yit Ming was disappointed at this slow response, telling the The Malay Mail the race guide stated there would be medics on standby every 4km. He claimed throughout his run, he spotted none.


"The runners guide said the response time for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) was three minutes. If it's supposed so, why did it take them 20 minutes to arrive?"


When the medics arrived, Lim regained his pulse but was weak. He was then rushed to Hospital Kuala Lumpur together with the doctor who assisted him, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.


Organiser Golazo Sdn Bhd race director Wes Sakai said they were unable to comment because they were still collecting information on the incident.


When will the organizers understands how important is a life to them ? I would say the best way is to place the best first aid team with well equipped medical instruments at every checkpoint as we cant foresee accidents like this happening.

More than 16,500 people took part in the Standard Chartered KL Marathon which took the runners on a route from Dataran Merdeka past some of the city’s historical landmarks. Kenyan Nelson Kirwa Rotich ran an scorching race in wet conditions to win the Standard Chartered KL Marathon yesterday in a record-breaking time.


He clocked 2’16:44 to erase the previous record of 2’17:20 set by compatriot Julius Kilimo Kipkorir.

Lampard's Clear Cut Goal Disallowed During Germany Match

Lampard's Clear Cut Goal Disallowed During Germany Match

I'm sure many  football fans would agree with me the fxxking linesmen is fxxking blind !! Lampard's dipping shot had already crossed the goal line, about to give England the second goal to level with Germany during the Round 2 of World Cup 2010 but it was not given a goal !!

England came under fire after conceding 2 goals thanks to the defenders' mistakes and luckily we had David James to rely on keeping the German's score as low as possible. A 20th and 32nd minute goal from Klose and Podolski were enough to kill the England players spirits.

Matthew Upson scored from a Header to Pull one Back for England


But a comeback from England saw them scoring within minutes when Mathew Upson scored with a header to make the game 2-1 and than came the most controversial moment when Lampard chipped the keeper and it gone in but linesman did not gave the goal which truly was a goal and should have leveled the game.


Video of the Lampard disallowed goal against Germany will be uploaded soon !! Hopefully England can go through to the Quarter Finals of World Cup 2010 next week !!

Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology Closed For World Cup 2010

Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology is closed For World Cup 2010


Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology is closed indefinitely after students clashed over whether to cancel classes to watch the World Cup 2010. Students were asked to leave dormitories by Sunday to calm the situation, said Habibur Rahman, pro-vice chancellor of the university in the capital.


The decision was made late Saturday after at least five students were injured in violence between two groups of students.


One group demanded an early summer vacation so they could watch football on television without any tension. They asked other students not to attend classes or take tests and locked the university's main gate, prompting clashes with senior students who wanted classes to continue.


When is the reopen date for Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology ?


No date has been set for when the university will reopen. Earlier this month, hundreds of angry football fans smashed vehicles in Dhaka after power outages interrupted live TV broadcasts of a World Cup match between Argentina and Nigeria.

Singaporean Couple Got Cheated in JB Durian Feast

Singaporean Couple Got Cheated in JB Durian Feast


I know its the World Cup 2010 month but we definitely need to eat and sometimes crave for our favorite food right ? Last week, a Singaporean couple saw an advertisement for a "durian feast" in Johor Bahru ended up did not get what they were promised when they drove all the way there.


The ad ran in the June 12 edition of The Straits Times was placed by S'Mart whicha wholesale market located about 8km from the Woodlands Checkpoint. Customers would get a free durian sampling before buying, and if they spent at least RM20 on durians would get 1kg of mangosteens or rambutans free was a gimmick.


Special education teacher Fiona Goh, 25, decided to drive there from her home in Jalan Besar last Monday night with her boyfriend Desmond Lim, 32, also a special education teacher.


Instead of the free sampling they were promised, the couple were made to buy the first durians they tried. "The seller opened the durians for us and told us to sit down. After that, he said that since the durians had been opened, we would have to buy them," said Goh.


They paid RM33 for two durians, in return the seller then handed them a quarter of a watermelon, wrapped in clingwrap, instead of the mangosteens and rambutans promised. The watermelon, the couple claimed, turned out to be rotten.




When The Straits Times contacted the wholesale market's marketing manager, Kerlyn Lim, she said it was the first time she had received such negative feedback. The market has been advertising this "durian feast" in The Straits Times for the past three to four years, and response from Singaporeans has been "very good", she said.


She put the problem down to new vendors who have joined the promotion. This year, six durian vendors took part, compared to three last year. "Some of them are new so they don't know the rules and don't follow them."
