BANGKOK: Thailand's Constitutional Court will rule on two politically charged cases in the next week that will decide the fate of Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin and the popular opposition party, amid heightened uncertainty over potential upheaval.
RUNNING is a popular activity that more and more Malaysians are picking up these days. With more marathons and running events being organised almost every week, more and more runners are trying their best to beat their personal best timing, be it a 5km run or a full marathon of 42.195km.
So, the question is, was he constantly running every single day for over half a century to achieve this record? No, but here's an interesting story of how Kanakuri achieved this weird record. To clarify how bad the race was, there were 68 participants at the start of the race and only 34 reached the finish line, and one Portuguese runner was reportedly hospitalised and died the following day.
As no one was able to find Kanakuri in Sweden, authorities declared him missing in the country, and this would remain so for over 50 years. Years passed by - and while Kanakuri was still considered a missing person in Sweden, in 1967, TV channel Sveriges Television managed to track him down in Tamana, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan - where he worked as a geography teacher.
