Argentina's heartbreaking defeat to Spain in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final was followed by scenes of unrest in Buenos Aires, where clashes broke out between football fans and police near the city's iconic Obelisk monument.
Thousands of supporters had gathered across the Argentine capital to watch the final, hoping to witness Lionel Scaloni's side defend the World Cup title they won in 2022. However, Spain secured a dramatic 1-0 victory after Ferran Torres scored the winning goal in extra time, ending Argentina's hopes of back-to-back titles.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c42cb7e3ffe6c06de3ffcc5a528c00ae30214d5c41b504c6d92596713b166a83" />
While the atmosphere remained largely peaceful throughout the evening, celebrations quickly turned into chaos after the final whistle, with at least 15 people detained and several others injured during the unrest.
Violence Erupts At The Obelisk
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6d54c69ddcc1c5ab93589f4020662c71038b499657eec1c25308af5445e72ff2" />
The clashes took place at the Obelisk, one of Buenos Aires' most recognisable landmarks and the traditional gathering point for major football celebrations.
According to local reports, trouble began shortly before midnight after a group of supporters attempted to breach security barriers surrounding the monument.
The situation rapidly escalated as some individuals began throwing glass bottles, rocks and other objects at police officers.
Authorities responded with tear gas, water cannons and riot-control measures to disperse the crowd, while heavily equipped riot police moved through surrounding streets to restore order.
The confrontation reportedly lasted around 20 minutes before the crowds gradually dispersed.
Images circulating on social media showed streets littered with debris, damaged barricades and confrontations between officers and supporters. One widely shared photograph appeared to show a police officer kicking a fan lying on the ground, while another showed riot police advancing with shields and batons through the city centre.
At Least 15 Arrested, Several Injured
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e99b8a019cf31b12dbefe55ab8f41372212fc33972bf9a994d491850ab415791" />
Authorities confirmed that at least 15 people were detained following the disturbances.
Local media also reported that at least seven police officers sustained injuries during the clashes after being struck by bottles and other projectiles.
Several members of the public were also injured, including a man who reportedly suffered facial injuries after being kicked during the chaos and a woman who required medical treatment. Officials have not released further updates on their conditions.
Emergency medical teams were deployed throughout the city to respond to incidents linked to the large crowds.
According to reports, Buenos Aires' emergency medical service treated around 25 people during the World Cup final, with cases ranging from alcohol-related incidents and panic attacks to falls, cuts and injuries sustained during fights. Two people required hospital treatment.
Tempers Also Flared On The Pitch
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8f28115df8c3dc4f486c10ea7eee62c920760bc5e268e848e0cb2e424d652af6" />
The tension was not limited to the streets of Buenos Aires.
Argentina's frustration was evident during and after the final as disciplinary issues overshadowed the closing stages of the match. Midfielder Enzo Fern&aacute;ndez was sent off late in normal time, leaving Argentina with ten men heading into extra time.
Following the final whistle, emotions boiled over as Leandro Paredes became involved in an altercation with several Spanish players. The midfielder was shown a red card after lashing out at defender Eric Garc&iacute;a, while television footage also appeared to show further confrontations involving Nahuel Molina and members of Spain's squad.
&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;🚨🥊 Full scenes after final whistle.&lt;a href="https://x.com/MickyJnr__?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;@MickyJnr__&lt;/a&gt; 🎥 &lt;a href="https://t.co/ZXCvAFkHwy"&gt;pic.twitter.com/ZXCvAFkHwy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) &lt;a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2078994500978905168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;July 20, 2026&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
Football pundits, including Alan Shearer, Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney, criticised Argentina's reaction after the defeat, saying the players should have accepted the result with greater sportsmanship.
President Milei Announces National Holiday
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0cd55f987fc2027abac8b09a5f71fa7163ebdced22495ed80ac72e02e65f6016" />
Despite the disappointment, Argentine President Javier Milei announced that the country would observe a national holiday to recognise the national team's achievements at the tournament.
He said the date of the holiday would be decided in consultation with the players and coaching staff, similar to the celebrations that followed Argentina's 2022 World Cup triumph.
Although the team fell short of retaining the trophy, Argentina reached a second consecutive World Cup final and finished as runners-up after another impressive tournament.
A Night Of Passion Overshadowed By Violence
The scenes in Buenos Aires reflected the immense passion football holds in Argentina, where the national team remains a source of enormous pride.
However, what began as a night of unity and support ended with violent confrontations that overshadowed an otherwise memorable World Cup final.
As investigations continue into the disturbances, authorities are expected to review the events surrounding the unrest while the footballing world reflects on a dramatic finale that crowned Spain as world champions for the second time in the nation's history.

Argentina Fans Clash With Police In Buenos Aires After World Cup Final Defeat To Spain

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will investigate allegations that personal information belonging to popular entrepreneur and content creator Khairul Aming was accessed and shared online without authorisation.
The issue gained attention after details believed to be linked to Khairul Aming&rsquo;s telecommunications account appeared on social media, raising concerns over customer data privacy and how confidential information could have been obtained by an unauthorised individual.
Khairul Aming, whose real name is Khairul Amin Kamarulzaman, first highlighted the matter after questioning how another person was able to access and publicly reveal details of his personal phone bill on Threads.
<blockquote id="ig-tp-DbBGo5-Gh7m" class="text-post-media" style="background: #FFF; border-radius: 16px; max-width: 650px; margin: 1px; min-width: 270px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px); border: 1px solid #00000026;" data-text-post-permalink="https://www.threads.com/@khairulaming/post/DbBGo5-Gh7m" data-text-post-version="0">

</blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://www.threads.com/embed.js"></script>

A social media user had claimed to know information regarding the entrepreneur&rsquo;s telecommunications account, including an alleged outstanding bill of RM498 and details relating to additional digital purchases linked to the account. The post also included comments about his account status, which sparked discussions among social media users.
However, Khairul Aming stressed that the amount of the bill was not the main concern. Instead, he questioned how someone outside the company could obtain and disclose his private account information.
&ldquo;What is frightening is how you could know my phone bill details and then post them publicly. This is my personal data,&rdquo; he said in response to the post.
He also explained that he usually makes advance payments for several months, which may have resulted in him not realising that his balance had been used up.
The incident has since raised broader concerns among Malaysians about the security of personal information held by companies and whether customer data can be accessed without proper authorisation.
Fahmi Orders MCMC Probe Into Alleged Data Breach
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6365c3e4ffc87ea2bc007af33cf7199da7915c99c9b7a58efa323f8e3faa8ca2" />
Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil has instructed MCMC to obtain a full report on the alleged leak, describing the matter as a serious concern.
Speaking after officiating the International Regulatory Conference (IRC) 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, Fahmi said the complaint suggested that an individual may have gained access to information they were not authorised to view, including customer details or internal systems belonging to a telecommunications company.
&ldquo;This is quite worrying because the complaint I read on Threads gives the impression that an individual who should not have access to personal information may have obtained access to a telco company&rsquo;s system or inventory,&rdquo; he said.
Fahmi added that he had already met representatives from the telecommunications company involved, who informed him that they were contacting Khairul Aming directly regarding the matter.
He said MCMC would conduct further checks to determine how the alleged breach occurred and whether any offences had been committed.
The minister also urged members of the public who experience similar incidents involving unauthorised disclosure of personal information to submit reports to MCMC.
He said official complaints would allow authorities to collect records and evidence needed for further investigation and enforcement action.
Sharing Personal Data Without Consent May Be An Offence
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9e6f8c377f3ac2a0e42790f9e5886d4a3233497c7f9f9f4460efa08ebaa913a6" />
Fahmi reminded the public that the unauthorised disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) may be an offence under Malaysia&rsquo;s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
He said action could be taken against individuals or organisations found to have intentionally shared personal information without permission.
Affected individuals were also encouraged to lodge both police reports and complaints with MCMC to assist authorities in carrying out investigations.
&ldquo;Reports are important so that we have records, information and evidence to enable follow-up action,&rdquo; Fahmi said.
The reminder comes as concerns continue to grow over personal data protection, especially as more services rely on storing large amounts of customer information.
Maxis Says Investigation Found It Was An Isolated Incident
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmaxis%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0ePQc5YQm838Q4mVT2TttBY43eZSCiitmJPtKKNWN1c5e3X5z6PNKx6fxehxpKQ8Al&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="296" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Following the allegations, telecommunications provider Maxis confirmed that it had launched an internal investigation into the matter.
The company said its initial findings suggested that the incident appeared to be isolated. It added that it had identified the individual linked to the alleged disclosure and would take immediate action.
&ldquo;We are reaching out to the customer regarding this matter. We have identified the individual linked to this incident and are taking immediate action, including pursuing legal proceedings,&rdquo; Maxis said.
The company also apologised for the incident and reaffirmed its commitment to protecting customers&rsquo; privacy and safeguarding personal information.
Public Raises Concerns Over Data Security
The alleged leak has sparked wider discussions about personal data protection and the responsibilities of companies that manage sensitive customer information.
Many social media users questioned how private account details could potentially be accessed by unauthorised individuals, while others called for stronger safeguards to prevent similar incidents.
The case has also highlighted the importance of public awareness when it comes to protecting personal information and reporting suspected breaches.
MCMC is expected to provide further updates once its investigation into the alleged data leak has been completed.

MCMC To Investigate Alleged Personal Data Leak Involving Khairul Aming After Phone Bill Details Surfaced Online

Thousands of football fans gathered at Dataran Merdeka to watch Spain defeat Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, creating an electric atmosphere in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. However, the celebrations were overshadowed by the large amount of rubbish left behind after the event, prompting criticism from authorities and the public alike.
Images of the iconic square covered in plastic bottles, disposable cups, food wrappers, plastic bags and other waste quickly spread across social media, sparking a fresh debate about public cleanliness and civic responsibility in Malaysia.
DBKL Disappointed By The Aftermath
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) expressed disappointment over the condition of Dataran Merdeka after more than 25,000 football fans gathered for the live screening.
In a statement shared on Facebook, DBKL acknowledged the enthusiasm shown by supporters but stressed that public celebrations should not come at the expense of shared spaces.
The city council reminded the public that while its workers would clean up the site, maintaining the cleanliness of Kuala Lumpur should not always depend on government personnel.
DBKL also described Dataran Merdeka as a symbol of the nation's history and dignity, saying the way people leave such places reflects how much they value them.
"A great city is not judged only by the crowds it attracts, but by the condition in which it is left after they have gone," the council said.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdbkl2u%2Fposts%2Fpfbid05MRe9wLhoqV3RDKJgJkHm91xMxANVCS95KNmb7YtTueXEFXfQZMCUwSpqYQBtLS4l&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="792" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Ministers Condemn Littering
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2a6fd6ba59fbcc0f4bc762c64d1b7bf295b9d6d0e1c2e97cd0b4fbd507fe670a" />
Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh also voiced her disappointment, thanking DBKL workers who remained behind to clean the area while urging Malaysians to take greater personal responsibility.
She said disposing of rubbish properly should be considered a basic courtesy, adding that the values of Malaysia Madani extend beyond government services to include citizens doing their part to care for public spaces.
"Kuala Lumpur is our home. Don't litter your own home and expect someone else to clean up after you," she said.
Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming echoed similar sentiments, questioning why littering continues to be a widespread problem despite decades of public education.
In a social media post, he described the scene as saddening and urged Malaysians to show greater respect for their surroundings, using the hashtags #MalaysiaBersih and #RancakkanMadani.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Public Questions Planning And Enforcement
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6a8ff1b87a1d2e47214855d1c76e1db93149278cb1402839f6133f1684f7d514" />
While many Malaysians condemned those responsible for leaving rubbish behind, others argued that the issue also highlighted shortcomings in event planning.
Some questioned whether enough rubbish bins had been provided around the venue, while others called for stronger enforcement of anti-littering laws during large public gatherings.
Several social media users pointed out that littering at major celebrations has become a recurring problem, arguing that authorities should deploy more enforcement officers to issue fines on the spot.
Malaysia's anti-littering laws already allow offenders to be fined up to RM2,000, with certain cases also carrying mandatory community service. However, many online questioned why enforcement appeared absent despite the large crowd at one of the country's most prominent public spaces.
Others suggested introducing entry fees or refundable deposits for future public viewing events to encourage visitors to dispose of their rubbish responsibly.
Alam Flora Clarifies Its Role
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Falamflorasdnbhd%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0Xpowa1X5uzKoLZxcEr6j93ALLeGfoP84TxPCiZb7AVUgmdH7hWvAv3rwgHL6DckAl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="792" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Following the circulation of photos online, waste management company Alam Flora also clarified its responsibilities after some social media users questioned why the field remained littered.
The company explained that its cleaning crews had carried out waste collection, road sweeping and cleaning works on surrounding roads, pavements and paved public areas immediately after the event.
However, it said that grassy areas and locations beneath temporary tents do not fall within its cleaning scope, with those areas instead handled by the relevant authorities.
Calls For Better Public Behaviour
The incident has once again highlighted the challenge of maintaining cleanliness during large-scale public events.
While many praised DBKL workers for their efforts in restoring Dataran Merdeka, the overwhelming sentiment online was that public attitudes need to improve.
Authorities reiterated that Malaysians should be free to celebrate sporting occasions enthusiastically, but that freedom should never include treating public spaces as disposable.
As thousands gathered to celebrate one of football's biggest nights, many believe the lasting image should not have been the piles of rubbish left behind, but rather a reminder that civic responsibility is just as important as national pride.

Dataran Merdeka Left Littered After World Cup Final Watch Party As Authorities Urge Greater Civic Responsibility

PlayStation 5 emulation is making surprising progress despite the console still being in the middle of its life cycle, with several community projects now capable of booting commercial PS5 games and, in some cases, even reaching early playable gameplay.
The recent breakthroughs have drawn significant attention following reports that Sony plans to stop producing physical PlayStation game discs from 2028. The move has sparked debate over digital ownership and game preservation, with many players concerned about the long-term accessibility of their purchased games. In response, interest in PS5 emulation has accelerated as developers work to preserve access to console titles.
Why PS5 Emulation Is Progressing Faster
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a3024cf755529b109c1a30877b2dd87909a4aa7eb2d7b1005f2e762a835ea447" />
Emulators are software that recreate a console's hardware and operating system, allowing games designed for one platform to run on another, typically a PC.
Traditionally, developing an emulator for a modern console takes many years because of the complexity involved. The PlayStation 4, for example, took years before emulators were capable of running demanding exclusives such as Bloodborne.
The PS5, however, appears to be advancing at a much quicker pace. One reason is that both the PS5 and modern PCs use x86 architecture, making certain aspects of hardware translation easier than with older consoles.
Growing concerns over Sony's reported shift towards an all-digital future have also fuelled renewed interest in game preservation, encouraging more developers to contribute to PS5 emulation projects.

Among the most prominent projects is SharpEmu, a Windows-based emulator written in C#.
Rather than fully recreating PS5 hardware, SharpEmu functions as a translation layer, allowing PCs to execute processor instructions directly while converting PlayStation-specific system functions into something Windows can process.
The emulator has already achieved several early milestones. Smaller 2D games such as Dreaming Sarah reportedly run successfully, while major PS5 titles including Demon's Souls, Astro Bot, Silent Hill: The Short Message and Superliminal are now capable of booting to varying stages.
Most still stop at loading or start-up screens, but simply getting modern PS5 exclusives to initialise is considered a significant technical achievement at this stage.
KytyPS5 Continues To Improve

Another project attracting attention is KytyPS5, which was originally launched as a combined PS4 and PS5 emulator before being abandoned and later revived by developer Nmzik with a renewed focus on PS5.
Recent updates have improved graphics rendering, shader translation, memory management and audio support, allowing several games to progress much further than before.
Silent Hill: The Short Message can now reach its menu, while PowerWash Simulator and Pac-Man World are reportedly playable, although performance and stability remain unknown.
One of the biggest milestones is the successful booting of the PS5 version of Grand Theft Auto V. While the game cannot yet be played, users can access its menus and settings, showing that increasingly complex commercial titles are beginning to function within the emulator.
GTA VI Is Still A Long Way Off
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/27b08a6ac81a5e23a7057be336d92b83f2210b97d66208fd54ea8ec94dc4dcaf" />
The progress has led some players to speculate that these emulators could eventually run Grand Theft Auto VI, which is expected to launch on consoles before arriving on PC.
However, developers and industry observers caution that there is a huge difference between reaching a game's menus and running a demanding open-world title smoothly. Fully playable PS5 emulation for blockbuster games is still likely years away.
Emulation Isn't The Same As Piracy
It's also important to distinguish emulation from piracy.
Creating or using an emulator is generally legal in many countries. However, downloading copyrighted games without owning them or distributing protected PlayStation firmware may infringe copyright laws.
Sony has previously taken legal action against projects that it believes violate its intellectual property, although emulator development itself remains lawful when it avoids using copyrighted code.
Progress Is Accelerating
Although PS5 emulation is still in its early stages, the pace of development has surprised many within the gaming community.
Most commercial games remain unplayable, but projects such as SharpEmu, KytyPS5 and research initiative RPCSX are steadily pushing the technology forward.
Whether driven by technical curiosity, game preservation or concerns over digital ownership, PS5 emulation has rapidly evolved from a niche experiment into one of the most closely watched areas of gaming development.

PS5 Emulation Is Advancing Faster Than Expected As Developers Make Early Breakthroughs

OpenAI has officially stepped into the consumer hardware market, but its debut product isn't the long-rumoured AI companion device many were anticipating. Instead, the company has unveiled the Codex Micro, a compact mechanical macropad designed specifically for programmers using its AI coding assistant, Codex.
Developed in collaboration with keyboard maker Work Louder, the device is OpenAI's first branded piece of consumer hardware. While it won't replace your everyday keyboard, it acts as a dedicated controller that gives developers quicker access to AI-powered coding tools and workflows.
OpenAI's First Hardware Is Built For AI Coding
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9f00a4bea9c84d00a0b9c2791e8fdb3018f1d6798ef6dd42831e30fd9e5e99d2" />
Rather than creating an all-purpose AI gadget, OpenAI has focused on a niche audience: software developers.
The Codex Micro is a programmable 13-key mechanical macropad featuring a rotary dial, an analogue joystick and RGB lighting. It is designed to streamline interactions with Codex, OpenAI's AI coding assistant, allowing users to perform common tasks with dedicated physical controls instead of navigating menus or typing repeated prompts.
Among its default shortcuts are actions such as reviewing pull requests, debugging code, accepting or rejecting AI-generated suggestions and managing multiple coding sessions simultaneously.
Like most programmable macro keyboards, users can also remap every key to suit their own workflow, making the device useful beyond Codex if desired.
Physical Controls Designed Around AI Workflows
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3a4bac0b47eec5549577673ba7f9f9a90b499ba035f122ec3a2b9e69163945d2" />
One of the Codex Micro's standout features is its six illuminated "Agent Keys", which provide live visual updates on AI coding agents.
Instead of constantly checking the desktop app, users can tell what their AI is doing simply by glancing at the keypad. Different colours indicate different statuses, including:
<ul>
<li>White: Idle</li>
<li>Blue: Processing or "thinking"</li>
<li>Green: Task completed</li>
<li>Amber: Waiting for user input</li>
<li>Red: Error encountered</li>
</ul>
Tapping an Agent Key immediately switches to the corresponding Codex session, while double-tapping brings it into focus.
The rotary dial adjusts Codex's reasoning level, allowing users to choose how much computing power and time the AI spends solving a task. Meanwhile, the joystick can be assigned to navigate coding workflows or other programmable functions.
OpenAI is also including 32 interchangeable keycaps, allowing users to customise shortcuts with different icons and labels.
Compatible With Windows And Mac
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c1ff3e78b9abe30c44083ae30a4387b62f54d8eba55ac73994eb3ce6646391d8" />
The Codex Micro connects via either Bluetooth or USB-C and supports both Windows and macOS.
Buyers can also choose between silent mechanical switches or traditional clicky switches depending on personal preference.
Although the device is clearly designed around Codex, Work Louder's software allows users to create several additional programmable layers, meaning it can double as a productivity controller for other applications.
It Costs Around RM1,200 To Import Into Malaysia
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1f5d721ddd40c8c689a6210b0bdeaa9d8b951a3769b0be88f9a94690e60579d2" />
The Codex Micro is priced at US$230 (around RM950) and is currently available for pre-order through OpenAI's online Supply Co. store.
However, Malaysian buyers should expect to pay considerably more.
Shipping alone adds roughly RM300, pushing the total cost to over RM1,200 before any import duties or taxes are applied. At the time of writing, there is no indication that the keypad will be officially distributed in Malaysia.
Given the price, many online users have questioned whether a dedicated AI keypad offers enough value, especially when programmable macro pads and gaming peripherals capable of similar shortcuts are already available at lower prices.
Not The Jony Ive Device Everyone Has Been Waiting For
The launch has also surprised many because it is not the mysterious AI hardware OpenAI has been developing with former Apple design chief Jony Ive.
That separate project remains under development and is expected to be a portable, screenless AI companion designed to integrate deeply with ChatGPT. Reports suggest it could feature microphones, cameras and sensors to better understand a user's surroundings, although OpenAI has yet to officially reveal the final design.
As a result, the Codex Micro appears to be more of a limited-edition collaboration than the company's flagship hardware vision.
A Small First Step Into Consumer Hardware
OpenAI has described the Codex Micro as a limited-run collaboration with Work Louder, suggesting it is not intended to become a mass-market product.
Instead, it serves as an early glimpse into the company's broader hardware ambitions while offering a specialised accessory for developers already relying heavily on AI-assisted coding.
Whether the Codex Micro justifies its premium price will ultimately depend on how much users value having dedicated physical controls for Codex. For casual users, it may feel unnecessary, but for developers juggling multiple AI coding agents throughout the day, it could become a useful desktop companion.
