KUALA LUMPUR, 8 APRIL 2013: Peminat bola sepak tempatan pastinya mengenali pemain pasukan Selangor, Mahali Jasuli yang kini semakin menunjukkan taring acapkali beraksi dalam pasukan kebangsaan.Teks: Razif Rosdi

Nama Mahali juga terus disebut tatkala dia muncul dalam program MeleTop di Astro Ria, baru-baru ini dengan menyatakan hasrat bakal memilih Tasha Shilla sebagai isteri seandainya diberikan pilihan wanita di kalangan artis tempatan.
Pemilihan Mahali untuk menyunting pelakon cantik itu sebagai isteri, nampaknya tidak bertepuk sebelah tangan.
Ini kerana Tasha Shilla sudah mula berani mendedahkan hubungannya dengan Mahali dengan sering menghantarkan mesej menerusi laman Twitter dengan menggelarkan Mahali dengan nama Sayang.
Menjawab persoalan ini, Mahali sebolehnya tidak mahu perkara berkaitan dirinya dan Tasha menjadi kecoh.
Bagaimanapun, Mahali yang peramah orangnya itu tidak menolak bahawa dia sedang berkawan dengan pelakon cantik.
"Saya dengan Tasha masih berkawan. Belum sampai ke tahap bercinta atau lebih serius. Terus-terang, saya sudah kenal dia sejak November tahun lalu. Hubungan kami lebih kurang lima bulan.
"Sebelum ini, saya pernah mengatakan kepada media bahawa saya amat meminati Tasha.
"Selepas itu, peminat Tasha telah mencari saya dan menjemput saya menghadiri jamuan hari lahirnya.
"Dari situlah kami mula berkenalan dan berkawan. Kiranya kami berkenalan apabila peminat Shila yang kenalkan kami," katanya kepada murai.com.my.
Menjelaskan mengenai panggilan Sayang yang diberikan Tasha terhadap dirinya, Mahali merasakan panggilan tersebut tidak salah diberikan kepada seorang kawan.
"Sekarang ini, kami jarang berjumpa kerana masing-masing sangat sibuk. Namun, kami sering bertanya khabar dengan menghantar mesej.
"Semasa diwawancara dalam program MeleTop, saya sudah pun berkawan dengan Tasha.
"Rasanya tidak salah kalau Tasha panggil saya dengan panggilan Sayang walaupun hubungan kami hanya sebagai kawan," ujarnya.
Apa sekalipun, Mahali memohon kerjasama dari semua pihak supaya tidak melebih-lebihkan perhubungan mereka.
Permintaan ini dibuat berdasarkan komitmen kerjayanya yang memaksa diri beliau lebih fokus terhadap sukan bola sepak tempatan.
U.S. official: North Korea could test fire missiles at any time
U.S. official: North Korea could test fire missiles at any time
A North Korea soldier gestures to stop photographers from taking photos from a Chinese tour boat as other soldiers look on along the North Korean bank of the Yalu River near the town of Sinuiji across the Chinese city of Dandong in Liaoning province, China, on Saturday, April 6. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered the country's military to increase artillery production, a televised report out of Pyongyang showed on Saturday.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- NEW: U.S. and North Korean officials met in New York last month, a source says
- Recent intelligence shows North Korea likely has completed launch preparations
- The U.S. believes test could occur without standard warning to aviation, shipping
- 41% of Americans see North Korea as an "immediate threat," a new poll shows

(CNN) -- The Obama administration calculates it's likely North Korea may test fire mobile ballistic missiles at any time, based on the most recent intelligence showing Pyongyang probably has completed launch preparations, a U.S. official said Tuesday.
The administration believes a test launch could happen without North Korea issuing a standard notice to commercial aviation and maritime shipping warning them to stay away from the missile's path, according to the official, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the information.
He cautioned most of the information comes from satellite imagery, so it's impossible to reach a definitive conclusion because the United States has no means to gather information on the ground.
"We hope they issue a notification, but at this point we don't expect it. We are working on the assumption they won't, " the official said.
He said the launch could be "imminent," but also cautioned that the United States "simply doesn't know."
The official, along with a Pentagon official, said that the United States has been able to keep satellites over the suspected launch area for most of the past week.
The United States thinks the missiles remain at a point about halfway down the eastern coast of North Korea and are about 10 miles inland.
Imagery has been impeded by some bad weather, which means there is less than perfect knowledge about what is happening on the ground. But based on what the United States has seen, the belief is that the missiles have received their liquid fuel and are ready for launch.
After any launch, U.S. satellites and radars in the region would be able to calculate the trajectory of missiles within minutes and quickly conclude whether they are on a test path headed for open ocean or potentially headed for land areas such as Japan.
The United States and Japan would then have to decide whether to try to shoot the missiles down, the officials said.
'Clear and direct' threat to U.S. security
Also Tuesday, the top U.S. commander in the Pacific called repeated North Korean violations of U.N. Security Council resolutions forbidding the "building and testing" of long-range ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons "a clear and direct threat to U.S. national security and regional peace and stability."
"A major conflict in Korea could have unpredictable, long term and far reaching impacts due to the central location of the Korean peninsula in Northeast Asia and the vital importance of Northeast Asian trade to the global economy," said Adm. Samuel J. Locklear, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command.
The admiral spoke at a Senate Armed Services hearing and submitted testimony to the committee.
He said he's confident that the United States would be able to help defend U.S. forces and its friends. He acknowledged the importance of China's role in reducing tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
The hearing came as North Korea issued its latest dispatch of ominous rhetoric Tuesday, telling foreigners in South Korea they should take steps to protect themselves in the event of a conflict.
"Kim Jong Un's stated emphasis on economic development and promises of economic growth have so far yielded little, and are undermined by North Korean missile launches and nuclear tests that lead to further sanctions and international isolation," Locklear said, referring to North Korea's leader.
"North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, its illicit sales of conventional arms, and its ongoing proliferation activities remain a threat to regional stability and underscore the requirement for effective missile defense," he said.
The admiral was asked whether there's ever been a time of greater tension among North Korea, South Korea and the United States since the end of the Korean War in the 1950s.
"I would agree in my recollection, I don't know a greater time," he said.
The question of China
Asked about China and its longtime close relationship with North Korea, he said the country could play a key role in persuading the North Korean government to engage in "restraint," but "they could do more."
Senators expressed concerns, skepticism and outright criticism of China. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, called the country "a communist dictatorship" that fears individual freedoms.
Locklear regards China as neither a friend nor a foe.
He said that sometimes, China can be "more nuanced" than the United States, and he noted some reporting that the leadership in China has made some statements about the issue.
Over the weekend, Chinese President Xi Jinping was quoted as saying that no nation "should be allowed to throw a region and even the whole world into chaos for selfish gain." While he didn't mention North Korea, the comments were seen as a reference to Pyongyang.
"There no benefit to the Chinese of having this type of activity occurring on their borders, no possible benefit that I can see from this. So they will, I believe, in time, work this problem to their national interest just like we do and the South Koreans do," Locklear said.
The saber rattling is making an impact, poll says
Meanwhile, the storm of warlike words coming from Pyongyang appears to have rattled Americans, with more than four in 10 saying they see the reclusive nation as an immediate threat to the United States, a new CNN/ORC International poll shows.
That's up 13 percentage points in less than a month, CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said.
"If North Korean leader Kim Jong Un wanted to get the attention of the American public, his strategy is starting to work," Holland said.
North Korea's unnerving message advising foreigners to secure shelter or evacuate in case of hostilities came as Japan set up missile defenses in Tokyo and North Korean workers failed to turn up for work in the industrial complex jointly operated by North and South Korea.
In the statement published by state-run media Tuesday, the North's Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee reiterated accusations that Washington and Seoul are seeking to provoke a war with Pyongyang.
"Once a war is ignited on the peninsula, it will be an all-out war," the committee said, adding that North Korea doesn't want foreigners in South Korea to "fall victim" to a conflict.
But staff at the British Embassy in Seoul appeared unimpressed.
"We are not commenting on the specifics of every piece of rhetoric from North Korea," said Colin Gray, head of media affairs at the embassy. "Our travel advice remains unchanged. At this moment, we see no immediate threat to British citizens in South Korea."
And foreign visitors in Seoul didn't appear to be panicking Tuesday.
"I am concerned, but not enough not to make the trip," said Vicky Polashock, who was visiting from Atlanta.
Threat after threat
North Korea has unleashed a torrent of dramatic threats against the United States and South Korea in recent weeks, including that of a possible nuclear strike. But many analysts have cautioned that much of what Kim's regime is saying is bluster, noting that it is believed to still be years away from developing an operational nuclear missile.
A more likely scenario, they say, is a localized provocative move.
Amid the fiery words from Pyongyang and annual military training exercises by U.S. and South Korean forces in the region, government officials in Washington and Seoul say they are taking the North Korean threat seriously.
In the days before North Korea's latest round of threats and provocations, U.S. and North Korean officials met in New York, although nothing came of the meeting, said a source familiar with what happened.
The source described the meeting as part of regular back channel exchanges between the countries.
Clifford Hart, the U.S. envoy for six-party talks aimed at North Korean denuclearization, met with North Korea's Deputy UN Ambassador Han Song-ryol in mid-March, according to the source.
Hart repeated the Obama administration's call for North Korea to avoid provocative actions and urged a return to diplomacy. Han promised to carry the messages back to Pyongyang, the source said.
The North was blamed for two attacks on South Korea in 2010, one on a navy vessel and another on the island of Yeonpyeong. Those attacks killed 50 people. Pyongyang still denies responsibility for the sinking of the South Korean warship, the Cheonan, in which 46 sailors died.
On Tuesday, Japan said it had deployed missile defense systems around Tokyo amid expectations that the North could carry out a missile test in the coming days.
The Japanese government is making "every possible effort to protect the Japanese people and ensure their safety," said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
South Korean government officials have said they think North Korea could conduct the test launch of a missile as soon as Wednesday, following reports that the North had loaded as many as two medium-range missiles onto mobile launchers on its east coast.
The United States had previously said it was moving missile defense systems to Guam, a Western Pacific territory that is home to U.S. naval and air bases. North Korea has cited those bases when listing possible targets for missile attacks.
A symbol of cooperation at risk
The souring situation on the Korean Peninsula was in evidence in the failure of more than 50,000 North Korean workers to show up for work Tuesday morning at the Kaesong Industrial Complex, the manufacturing zone shared by the two Koreas that had operated without such an interruption for eight years.
The North had declared Monday that it would pull out its workers and temporarily suspend activities at the complex, which sits on its side of the heavily fortified border but houses the operations of more than 120 South Korean companies.
On Tuesday, the South Korean Unification Ministry said the North Korean workers hadn't reported for work in the district, which is the last major symbol of cooperation between the two Koreas.
Analysts had expressed skepticism that Pyongyang would follow through on previous threats to shut down the complex, noting that it is an important source of hard currency to Kim's regime.
The move also is likely to put pressure on the city of Kaesong itself, where the North Korean workers and their families live. With an estimated population of between 200,000 and 300,000 people, it is one of the impoverished country's largest cities.

Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) mengumumkan pengundian bagi pilihan raya umum ke-13 (PRU13) akan diadakan pada 5 Mei manakala penamaan calon ditetapkan pada 20 April.
Ini diumumkan oleh Pengerusi SPR, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Yusof dalam satu sidang akhbar hari ini.

Manakala tarikh pengundian awal ditetapkan pada 30 April untuk anggota tentera dan pasangan, anggota polis dan pasangan; serta pengundi tidak hadir (pengundi di luar negara).
Pilihan raya umum kali ini membabitkan 222 kerusi Parlimen dan 505 kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN).
SPR mengadakan mesyuarat khas hari ini untuk menentukan tarikh pengundian dan pencalonan bagi PRU13 selepas Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak mengumumkan pembubaran Dewan Rakyat pada 3 April lepas.
Sebelum dibubarkan, komposisi Dewan Rakyat menyaksikan BN menguasai 137 kerusi, selebihnya DAP (29), PAS (23), PKR (23), Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) dan Parti Kesejahteraan Insan Tanahair (KITA) masing-masing satu kerusi. Lapan lagi kerusi disandang anggota Parlimen Bebas.
Sementara itu, Bernama melaporkan Abdul Aziz berkata SPR telah menerima pengisytiharan oleh Yang di-Pertuan Agong pada 3 April 2013 berhubung pembubaran Dewan Rakyat.
Semua Dewan Undangan Negeri kecuali Sarawak telah dibubarkan setakat 5 April dan menurut Fasal 4 Perkara 55 Perlembagaan Persekutuan, SPR perlu mengadakan pilihan raya umum dalam tempoh 60 hari daripada tarikh pembubaran.
Sarawak telah mengadakan pilihan raya negeri pada 2011.
Abdul Aziz berkata SPR menetapkan writ pilihan raya dikeluarkan esok dan notis pilihan raya pada Jumaat, 12 April.
Beliau berkata berdasarkan daftar pemilih, terdapat 12,992,661 pemilih biasa dan 275,341 pengundi awal.
Pengundi awal terdiri daripada 161,251 anggota tentera dan pasangan; 111,136 anggota polis dan pasangan; serta 2,954 pengundi tidak hadir (pengundi di luar negara).
Abdul Aziz berkata sebanyak RM400 juta diperuntukkan untuk pengendalian PRU13 melibatkan 234,905 petugas pilihan raya..
Untuk tujuan pengundian keseluruhan, SPR menyediakan 8,789 pusat mengundi dengan 26,219 tempat/saluran mengundi.
Bagi pengundian biasa, 8,245 pusat mengundi dengan 25,337 saluran mengundi akan disediakan, manakala pengundian awal membabitkan 544 pusat mengundi dengan 882 tempat/saluran mengundi.
Empat peraturan baharu akan diperkenal pada pilihan raya kali ini ke arah penambahbaikan proses pengundian iaitu penggunaan dakwat kekal; pengundian awal oleh anggota polis dan tentera menggantikan undi pos; membenarkan orang kurang upaya (OKU) membawa orang dipercayai untuk membantu semasa pengundian, serta pemansuhan proses bantahan dan penarikan balik pencalonan.
Peraturan itu dilaksanakan berikutan pindaan terhadap Peraturan-Peraturan Pilihan Raya (Perjalanan Pilihan Raya) 1981 (Pindaan) 2012 dan Peraturan-Peraturan Pilihan Raya (Pengundian Pos) 2003 (Pindaan) 2012.
Ia diwartakan tahun lepas.
Peraturan dakwat kekal mewajibkan setiap individu yang ingin mengundi untuk dicalit jari telunjuk kiri mereka sebelum diberikan kertas undi. Bagi pengundi yang enggan mematuhi peraturan itu, kertas undi tidak akan dikeluarkan kepada mereka.
Buat pertama kali dalam sejarah pilihan raya umum Malaysia, semua petugas media termasuk wartawan, jurugambar, jurukamera dan juruteknik yang bertugas di luar kawasan berdaftar mereka, juga layak memohon untuk mengundi awal.
Bagi memastikan proses pelaksanaan PRU13 berjalan lancar, SPR meminta semua pihak mematuhi undang-undang dan peraturan serta arahan pihak polis dalam memastikan ketenteraman awam terpelihara sepanjang tempoh pilihan raya berlangsung.
Parti-parti politik, para penyokong parti serta mana-mana individu lain yang terlibat semasa berkempen hendaklah mematuhi undang-undang dan peraturan pilihan raya serta tatasusila berkempen sebagaimana yang ditetapkan SPR, kata Abdul Aziz.
Beliau turut mengingatkan calon dan parti yang bertanding agar tidak terlibat dengan perbuatan rasuah bagi mengelak dikenakan tindakan di bawah Akta Kesalahan Pilihan Raya 1954.
Dalam membolehkan pekerja menunaikan hak mereka sebagai pengundi, majikan diingat memperuntuk tempoh yang munasabah kepada mereka untuk mengundi.
"Mana-mana majikan yang secara langsung atau tidak langsung enggan membenarkan pekerjanya keluar mengundi, boleh apabila disabitkan, didenda sebanyak RM5,000 atau dipenjara selama setahun sebagaimana yang diperuntuk di bawah subseksyen 25 (3) Akta Kesalahan Pilihanraya 1954," katanya.
Para majikan juga, katanya, tidak boleh membuat apa-apa potongan daripada gaji atau saraan pemilih, mengenakan atau menuntut daripadanya apa-apa penalti kerana tidak hadir bekerja dalam tempoh itu.

'OJ is Innocent': New book claims Simpson's son committed gruesome 1994 murders
'OJ is Innocent': New book claims Simpson's son committed gruesome 1994 murders
|
New claims: Private investigator William C Dear has a novel theory
A Texas private investigator claims he knows who really killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman in 1994. And it wasn't OJ Simpson.
In a new book, 'OJ is Innocent and I Can Prove It,' William C. Dear alleges Simpson went on trial, and was acquitted of murder, in an effort to deflect attention from the true killer: His son Jason.
Dear says Simpson was at the crime scene -- but not until after his ex-wife and her friend had been stabbed to death.
After a six-year investigation, Dear says he has found circumstantial evidence that links Jason Simpson, 41, to the murders.
The private eye claims he dug through Jason Simpson's garbage and his abandoned storage locker in search of new evidence, the New York Post reported.
In the search, Dear says he found a hunting knife that forensic experts say is the murder weapon that was never recovered during the police investigation.
He also found photographs of Jason Simpson wearing a knit cap, similar to one that was discovered at the crime scene. Prosecutors were unable to link the hat to OJ Simpson.
Dear calls Jason Simpson 'the overlooked suspect' and produced a documentary film released in 2010 detailing the accusations that he is the real culprit behind the murder.
Dear says two months before the murders, Jason Simpson assaulted his girlfriend. The chef also deals with 'intermittent rage disorder,' according to the New York Post.
Stone-faced: At the moment his father was found not guilty, Jason Simpson, right, showed no emotion even as the people around his cried and celebrated
Open case: After 17 years, the brutal murders of Nicole Brown Simpson (left) and her friend Ron Goldman (right) have not been officially solved
Despite these alleged findings, Jason Simpson's DNA and fingerprints were never compared to those found at the crime scene. He was never interviewed by police, either, the Post reports.
OJ Simpson was the prime suspect for the murders because he helped to cover up his son's crimes and, in effect, allowed himself to take the fall, the book claims.
The Post could not reach Jason Simpson, who is working as a chef in Miami, for a comment.
Went free: Simpson's acquittal at trial was a controversial issue at the time -- with most of the public believing he was guilty
