No ban

Malaysia -- The death of a Muay Thai kickboxer on Tuesday following injuries suffered during a tournament was an isolated case and the state government will not reimpose a ban on the martial art.

State Women, Youth and Sports Committee chairman Abdul Patah Mahmood said fighters knew the risks involved and guidelines had been set following the state government’s lifting of the ban on the sport two months ago.

Thai kickboxing fighter Rusuwan Abdul Rahman, 21, had collapsed during a freestyle bout in Pasir Tumbuh on Sunday.
