The King, 75, passed away at 11.57 this morning after a prolonged illness. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced the King's death in an address to the nation over radio and television at 1.50pm. "With great sadness and regret, I announce that the 11th Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah al-Haj Ibni Almarhum Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah al-Haj passed away at 11.57 this morning at the Gleneagles Intan Medical Centre," he said. The King died two months after he was first admitted to the Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore for a heart surgery to implant a pacemaker. Dr Mahathir declared a seven-day period of national mourning and urged all relevant parties to fly their flags at half-mast. In Selangor, the State Government declared 40 days of mourning. The Prime Minister also announced the cancellation of all official government functions for today and tomorrow as a mark of respect. Dr Mahathir said the new Sultan of Selangor would be proclaimed tomorrow.

In Malaysia, the problem issues are related to traffic congestion and many user cars on the roadway in daily lives. One alternative mode of using a rail network is commuter, LRT, Monorail, MRT and ETS. Therefore, the Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is then used to map and produce the railway networks history and developments in urban public transportation (UPT). The goal of this research is to identify the heatmap trends of the Klang Valley railway stations which included Kuala Lumpur as urban public transport sectors. It was based on the OSM image layer from the year 1990 to 2019 and studied the growth of railway networks through a polyline pattern analysis.

Britain and Russia were not the only players but also drew in other players like Turkey, France and Iran (Persia as was). It involved diplomacy, espionage and war over a vast area of the globe, from the Bosphorus in the West to the Hindu Kush in the East. There was a war in the Crimea and two wars in Afghanistan. Now it might start to sound a bit more familiar. For the British, the driving factor back then was the defence of India, the jewel of the Empire. For the Russians it was the expansion of their Empire and influence south into the Caucasus, the Near East and Central and Southern Asia, and the need to secure a warm water port. Jump forward 100+ years and whilst the geographical focus of the game has shifted West to the Middle East and Central Asia, the game continues but with some important changes to the line-up of players. Whilst post-Soviet Russia is still a central antagonist, the USA has taken over the lead role for the Western powers with UK, France, Turkey and Iran still in the game, but with new players like Israel having taken the field.
