(Reuters) - The Premier League has rejected Manchester City's request to postpone the first two games of the 2025-26 season to help the players recover after their FIFA Club World Cup campaign in the U.S., the club's manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday.

The women, who meet at the Breast Cancer Welfare Association building in Kuala Lumpur, places a lot of care on how the breast prostheses are made for their peers, ensuring that the end product is both comfortable and sustainable for their future owners to use.“They are not just made for aesthetics; they help women who have had mastectomies feel more confident and secure about themselves, especially when they go out,” she adds.

The materials required to make these products are either purchased at an affordable price or are unused cloths. Occasionally, they are sold in events hosted by other non-governmental organisations. “We showcased our products at the Latin Women’s Association Malaysia recently,” Sam says. “It was our way of reaching out to more people.”

“I was the only one in my circle of friends who have cancer; my family had no history of it too, so it was hard,” the housewife says. Other members also share the same sentiment. Retired financier Molly Ang was 59 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020.
