Keningau: A woman gave birth in a cab with the help of a cab driver while on the way to Kota Kinabalu.

In the incident which happened last month, the woman had boarded the taxi here and complained of pain when the cab reached Mile 16, Jalan Kimanis, about 25km from town.

The 38-year-old taxi driver, Arsin Kansi, realising she could no longer hold it and that they were far from any medical facility, decided to take matters into his own hands.

"I had to stop the car and help the woman deliver the baby because I was worried about the woman's and her baby's condition," the said, adding several passers-by also helped him deliver the baby.

After the baby was born, Arsin turned back and took them both here for medical attention.

Keningau: Keningau Basketball Association Chairman, Fabian Koh Kian Ping said the association will be sending an Under-18 team each in the men and women categories of the State Under-18 Basketball Championship to be held at the Penampang Community Hall from Aug 23 - Sept 2.

Malaysia team coach, Lee Ching Lit has been chosen to coach both teams while Phan Chee Yong was chosen as the Honorary Advisor for the Keningau Basketball Association.

Fabian said this during a thanksgiving ceremony on Tuesday for coach Lee who will be on holiday to Sandakan and only resume coaching duties on Aug 17.

Lee said both teams have undergone almost three weeks of training and assures that both the men's and women's teams could reach the semi-final stage.

The previous year the women's team grabbed the runner-up spot after losing to Sandakan by a margin of two points.

Meanwhile, Lee believes the men's team is more experienced and have the strength to grab the title or at least take the 1st runner-up spot.
