Serendah sits just 26km north of Kuala Lumpur, but most Malaysians know it only as a highway blur between Rawang and Kuala Kubu Bharu. That is a significant oversight — this Serendah heritage town has a 130-year history written in tin, rubber, railway iron, and community stone. The town’s name tells you something immediately. Serendah means “low-lying” in Malay — a reference to the valley floor it occupies, surrounded by forested hills.

Kaspersky has detected at least 336 unique fake domains mimicking official tournament resources since the competition kicked off on 11 June.

Fifteen years ago, a roll of traditional durian cake sold for RM7. Today, that same 300g roll costs RM25. Durian prices have risen sharply. Operating costs have climbed. And this season has been less generous than most growers had hoped. Patrick Lee knows all of this. And he hasn’t changed a thing. Lee is a fourth-generation member of a durian-growing family in Balik Pulau, Penang. The town sits on the quieter, unhurried side of the island. Most visitors never reach it.

Something is rising from the sea off southern Penang. It is quiet from the shore. But it has divided fishermen, environmental groups and politicians for nearly a decade. And it is not done dividing them yet. Silicon Island. It is Penang’s most ambitious — and most contested — infrastructure project. Here is the full story. The story does not begin with reclamation. It begins with a transport problem.

Most Kuala Lumpur residents walk past Medan Pasar without a second glance. They see an Art Deco clock tower, a pedestrian square, a few old shophouses. What they often do not see is where the city started. Tomorrow, heritage architect and author Robert Powell will bring that story back to life — in a free talk at Badan Warisan Malaysia’s Heritage Centre in Jalan Stonor.

Dengue is rising fast in Malaysia. This time, a new virus strain is making the outbreak harder to predict. As of 13 June 2026, Malaysia had recorded 33,367 dengue cases. That is a 20.7% increase compared to the same period in 2025. The death toll is more worrying. Dengue-related deaths rose by 43.75%, with 23 deaths recorded compared to 16 in 2025. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad announced the figures in Kota Kinabalu on 14 June.

Members of the Malaysian Parliament took to the pitch on Wednesday in a rare display of sports diplomacy, facing a combined team representing the diplomatic missions of the 2026 FIFA World Cup host nations — Canada, Mexico and the United States — in a friendly match at the historic Stadium Merdeka. The exhibition match was held as part of celebrations surrounding the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is being co-hosted for the first time by three countries.
