1. Malaysiakini reports, a new study confirms that the Sabah state election last year seeded the country's third Covid-19 wave.

The analysis showed that almost 3,000 new cases were reported in the first few weeks after polling day.
2. Outside of Sabah, the study estimated that 64.4% of cases from Sept 26 until Oct 12, can be attributed to spillover effects from the election, amounting to another 1,741 cases.

This brought the national total to 4,720 cases linked to the election in 17 days.
3. The study notes Covid-19 risks in Sabah were initially low, however, gatherings with unlimited attendees outdoors and up to 250 indoors, increased the risk of transmission.

Campaigning politicians and rally attendees were also reported to have poor SOP compliance.

1. 21-year-old Surendren Shanker, who was being held at the Simpang Renggam prison, died yesterday at the Kluang Hospital.

A police report states Surendren died due to “septic shock with multiple organ failure”, but his family believes foul play may have been involved.
2. “We have to accept that he is gone but I feel there is injustice here,” says Surendran’s mother, Kumatameri Asirvatham.

“We feel there is foul play involved as Surendran had no health issues. He was only 21.”
3. Surendran was arrested last June for alleged drug offences and was remanded for four days, before being detained under the Prevention of Crime Act.

He was sent to a rehabilitation centre in Muar in August and was then transferred to the Simpang Renggam prison on April 25.

Annamah still converses well in Tamil and Malay with a great sense of humour.
3. Subramanian adds that patients and villagers around his mother's current residence in Batu Gajah, Perak have been visiting her to seek health advice.

1. Visitors to a new zoo in Sichuan, China were left confused after seeing a golden retriever in a cage meant for an African lion.

A video taken by a visitor named Tang showed the dog wearing a harness within the enclosure, despite a sign indicating that a lion was inside.
2. An employee of the zoo told Tang that the cage had housed a lion in the past, but the animal had been moved to another location, adding that the sign was not changed in time.

The zoo was also in the midst of rearranging some of the animals' accommodations.
3. Tang also accused the zoo of false advertising and wrongly promoting the availability of lions, saying he found no lions anywhere else in the zoo.

"What's disappointing is that I don't know how to explain this to my kids," he reportedly said.
