PETALING JAYA: Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) president Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz did not hide his disappointment after the national players failed to deliver a title at the Malaysian Masters, which concluded on Sunday (May 24).
A woman who was inside the Ginza 6 Shopping Centre being helped out of an emergency vehicle after treatment. - AFP TOKYO ; Around 20 people were injured at a luxury shopping complex in central Tokyo on Monday after a man sprayed a substance inside, police and fire department officials said.
Tokyo police spokesman Yusuke Koide told AFP that a man sprayed a substance at an ATM on the ground floor of the building, while a local fire department official said"around 20 people were injured" after a report of a"smell". The road in front of the mall -- located in the touristy and upmarket shopping district of Ginza -- was blocked off following the incident, and fire trucks lined the street.
Emergency personnel seen in front of the Ginza 6 Shopping Centre after an individual allegedly sprayed a substance at an ATM inside the mall. - AFP An AFP reporter at the scene saw two people on stretchers being put into an ambulance, while firefighters and officials dressed in hazmat suits brought people from the mall into specialised trucks to examine them.
One 70-year-old woman who was at the mall told the broadcaster that her throat started"stinging and hurting" as she approached the ATM.
"By the time I arrived, the commotion had already started, and I thought there might have been a small fire or something. Police are investigating the cause, a fire department officer at the scene said. Violent crime is relatively rare in Japan, which has a low murder rate and some of the world's toughest gun laws.
However, there are occasional stabbing attacks and even shootings, including the assassination of former prime minister Shinzo Abe in 2022. In December last year fourteen people were injured in a stabbing attack in a factory in central Japan during which an unspecified liquid was also sprayed. Japan remains shaken by the memory of a major subway attack in 1995 when members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult released sarin gas on trains, killing 14 people and making more than 5,800 ill.
On March 20, 1995, five members of the Aum cult dropped bags of Nazi-developed sarin nerve agent inside morning commuter trains, piercing the pouches with sharpened umbrella tips before fleeing. - AFPTourists’ ‘travel hack’ to get free hot water in S.
