MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -A four-week off-season break should be mandatory for professional soccer players, with two of those weeks to be a blackout period with no communication with club or national team, according to a new study.

IPOH: An investigation is underway against a teacher accused of posting offensive remarks about the tragic accident that claimed the lives of 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris students on the East-West Highway in Gerik.

Manjung OCPD Asst Comm Hasbullah Abd Rahman said a police report was filed on Wednesday at about 4.40pm concerning a Facebook post by a user named"Khalid Yunus," which contained distasteful comments regarding the university students involved in the fatal crash. The case is being investigated under Section 504 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act, he stated on Thursday .The Facebook post sparked public outrage after alleging that the 15 students died in disgrace. It further claimed that the victims were not among the faithful, as they had passed away while still owing debt to the National Higher Education Fund Corporation. The post has since been deleted, and the teacher involved has issued a public apology, claiming to suffer from schizophrenia. Perak education, higher education, youth and sports committee chairman Khairudin Abu Hanipah said on Wednesday that initial investigations confirmed the Facebook account responsible for the insensitive post belonged to a teacher at the school. The state Education Department has instructed the school where the teacher is believed to teach to prepare a full report on the matter.Gerik bus crash: Bus driver arrested Malaysian movie Ejen Ali 2 is now raising the bar for animation movies in South-East Asia; rakes in almost RM51mil after just three weeksNo Malaysians involved in Air India crash, says Wisma Putra
