Lee Kang-in of Paris Saint-Germain has finally been cleared to join the Korean national team for the Asian Games, which will kick off in Hangzhou, China later this month. As the Asian Games are not part of the FIFA international calendar, clubs are not obligated to release their players for the event, and the Korea Football Association negotiated with the French club to have Lee take part. The association said Friday that the French club agreed to clear Lee to join the national team after PSG's UEFA Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund on Sept.

KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 2): The Malaysian Palm Oil Association (MPOA) has shared its wishlist for Budget 2024, including a review of the windfall profit levy, reinvestment allowance for intensifying oil palm replanting, pre-requisite for sufficient workers, mechanisation, levies as well as support for sustainability initiatives.  Speaking at MPOA National Palm Oil Conference (NPOC23), chief executive Joseph Tek Choon Yee stressed the necessity of thoroughly reviewing the windfall profit levy's price threshold and rate, particularly in Sabah and Sarawak, where it unduly burdens oil palm growers.

Monash University researchers supporting Zoos Victoria to breed the Critically Endangered Helmeted Honeyeater with another subspecies to improve genetic health and fitness, have found that the benefits of such genetic mixing outweigh any risks. Small woodland birds in the Meliphagoidea superfamily include a Yellow-tufted Honeyeater, common in Eastern Australia. But one of its subspecies, the Helmeted Honeyeater known for its head feather helmet, is Critically Endangered with fewer than 200 birds remaining.

They know it's a long shot, but private schools, colleges and universities are still trying to convince lawmakers to defer deliberations of the bicameral committee on proposals to ban the industry's 'no permit, no exam' policies. Prohibiting this practice, according to them, would result in private schools scaling down their operations and sacrificing the quality of teaching. Eventually, this would result in the demise of the private educational sector, which complements the country's public education system, they warned.

'The idea started with bringing the outside in,' said creator Marc Antosch, a UH Maui College graphic designer. 'It began with ʻāina (land) as a central subject, then wai/kai (freshwater/sea), and then Indigenous animals. The artistic style was inspired by the works of Hawaiʻi artist (and UH Mānoa alumna) Heather Brown.
