IN A FLASH 3 JULY 2009
GOOD AFTERNOON AND SALAM MUHIBAH.
IT IS NOW TIME FOR IN A FLASH.
National sailor Khairuneeta Mohd Afendy moved into contention for a medal in the Girl's Byte C2 event of the Asian Youth Games sailing event in Singapore after good performances in the 3rd and 4th races held Thursday.
Khairuneeta who was in fourth place after two races, finished first and second in the two races held today, to move into contention for top spot, with five races remaining.
Malaysian Yachting Association (MYA) Mohd Afendy Abdullah through an e-mail to Bernama said with favourable winds of between 7 and 9 knots, Khairuneeta was able to finish first and second in the two races held yesterday.
However, Mohd Amirul Shafiq who is competing in the Boy's Byte C2 event, could not match her performance when he finished sixth and third respectively in the two races.
He added that if good wind conditions prevailed for the remaining five races, they will stand a good chance of finishing among the medal winners.
The two sailors are the only Malaysian athletes participating in the Asian Youth Games as the rest of the Malaysian contingent was withdrawn by the National Sports Council, following an Education Ministry's directive that barred students from competing overseas due to the Swine Flu outbreak.

Plaza Tunku Yaacob at the Sultan Abdul Halim Highway, opposite Menara Alor Setar, here, will be given a 300 million ringgit facelift, incorporating a five-star hotel, the first of it’s kind in the state.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak said the plaza, abandoned for 28 years, would be revived in two phases -- reinforcing the building structure and developing the vacant land nearby.
He said the plaza would also have three-star budget hotels to provide a choice to certain guests, a convention centure and an international standard shopping complex similar to that found in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.
The project slated to start next year is a tripartite joint venture among Belleview Bina Sdn Bhd, Bina Darulaman Berhad and Kedah State Development Corporation.
Azizan hoped government-linked companies in Kedah and local contractors would be given the opportunity to participate in the plaza reconstruction work.
