Cops to submit investigation papers on Hannah Yeoh to prosecutors ( Video )





30/06/2020 09:43 PM



KUALA LUMPUR June 30 -- Police have recorded the statement of former Women, Family and Community Development deputy minister Hannah Yeoh in connection to a social media post deemed seditious recently.

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Datuk Huzir Mohamed said findings of the investigations would be forwarded to prosecutors for further action.

“We will submit the investigation papers to the public prosecutor for a decision to be made,” he told a media conference in Bukit Aman here today.

On June 23, Yeoh, who is also Segambut MP, was summoned to Bukit Aman over a social media post related to child marriage and deemed inflammatory.

In a separate development, Huzir said police will complete its investigations into the death of fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim as requested by the Deputy Public Prosecutor.

"We will complete it (investigations) very soon and we hold discussions with representatives from Attorney General's Chambers for further action,” he said.

On June 21, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) said the police were still investigating the case to identify the perpetrators and the AGC will take further action based on the investigations.

Adib was part of a nine-man firefighting team from the Subang Jaya Fire and Rescue Department that responded to a fire at the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, USJ 25, Subang Jaya, where rioters were protesting its relocation on Nov 27, 2018.

During the riot, Adib sustained severe injuries and was hospitalised for three weeks, before succumbing to his injuries on Dec 17, at the National Heart Institute (IJN).


On Sept 27 last year, the Coroner’s Court ruled that Adib’s death was due to murder by two or more persons.

Former 1MDB CEO admits he fell for Jho Low’s ruse ( Video )



30/06/2020 07:12 PM



KUALA LUMPUR, 30 Jun -- Former 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) chief executive officer Datuk Shahrol Azral Ibrahim Halmi told the High Court here today that he fell for the ruse created by fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, in setting up Brazen Sky Ltd for the purpose of repatriating the sovereign wealth fund.

He told the court this when lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, representing former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, suggested to him that eventhough Jho Low said the company was created for the purpose of repatriating 1MDB's money, it was actually to give the appearance that some legitimate money was coming into Brazen Sky.

Brazen Sky Ltd is a special purpose vehicle (SPV) which was set-up on July 12, 2012, for the purpose of repatriating 1MBD’s money.

However, the ninth prosecution witness said he was not aware of it at that time.

He said this while under cross-examination by Muhammad Shafee in Najib’s RM2.3 billion 1MDB graft trial.

Muhammad Shafee: Why the need for Brazen Sky? It (the money) can just be transferred straight into 1MDB's account?

Shahrol Azral: Jho Low told me that the market conditions were unfavourable for 1MDB to liquidate all of the units at once and proposed the liquidation to be done bit by bit.

Muhammad Shafee: But in hindsight, you now know that this was untrue, and the fund was being managed by Jho Low.

Shahrol Azral: Yes.

The witness also said it was Jho Low’s specialty in making people feel comfortable that he (Jho Low) was acting in their best interest.

The counsel then suggested that his client, Najib, was also duped by Jho Low, to which Shahrol Azral said he could not comment.

Towards the end of the evening proceedings, Muhammad Shafee asked to continue his cross-examination on the witness tomorrow as he was moving to a bigger area.

In response to this, Judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah asked the counsel how much longer would he take to cross-examine Shahrol Azral , and Muhammad Shafee said he would take another three weeks.

Najib, 67, faces four charges of using his position to obtain bribes totalling RM2.3 billion from 1MDB funds and 21 charges of money laundering involving the same amount.

The trial continues tomorrow.

JOHOR BAHRU, June 30 -- A salesman pleaded not guilty at the Magistrate’s Court, here today on five charges of fraud involving losses worth RM1.152 million, between June last year and Feb 18 this year.

Lau Kah Wing, 24, made the plea after the five charges were read out to him before Magistrate Mohd Zaki Abd Rahman.

On the first charge, Lau, with another individual still at large, was accused of cheating a woman by duping her into handing over RM160,000 and making her believe that she could double the amount, where she would not have given them the money if she was not led to believe as such.

While on the second to fifth charges, Lau was accused of duping four women into giving him cash between RM200,000 and RM374,000 by making them believe that he could double the amount of money and award them with petrol fuelling bonus, where the women would not have handed the money if they were not led to believe as such.

All the charges were allegedly committed in five separate locations in the city between June 24, 2019 and Feb 18, 2020.

On the first charge, Lau was charged under Section 420 of the Penal Code read together with Section 34 of the same law, while for second to fifth, he was charged under Section 420 of the Penal Code. The offences carry a penalty of imprisonment of not less than one year and not exceeding 10 years, with whipping.

Meanwhile, at the same court, Lau and an employed man, Kuang Jian Ming, 23, pleaded not guilty on one count of attempting to cheat a man by making him believe that they could double the return if he handed over an amount of money to them, in which the victim had almost handed the money and would not have done so if he was not led to believe that.

The offence was allegedly committed by both the accused at a hypermarket in Plentong, here, at about 12 noon on June 18.

They were accused under Section 420/511 of the Penal Code read together with Section 34 of the same code, which carries a penalty of imprisonment of not less than one year and not exceeding 10 years, with whipping.


The prosecution was handled by Deputy Public Prosecutr Chan Choon Yew. Lau was represented by lawyer Muhammad Syazwan Mohd Salleh while Kuang by lawyer Goh Sze Han.

Mohd Zaki allowed both the accused bail at RM4,500 with one surety for each charge and set August 10 for case remention and handing over of documents.

Doctor charged with dishonestly retaining stolen property ( Video )




30/06/2020 06:06 PM



GEORGE TOWN, June 30 -- A medical doctor who is attached to a government hospital was charged in the Magistrate’s Court here today with dishonestly retaining stolen property.

In all, 11 charges under Section 411 of the Penal Code and Section 25 (1)(o) of the National Registration Act 1959 were made against Dr Neoh Soon Khai, 39, from Gurney Park, Jalan Kelawai here.

However, only two of the charges were read out to him before Magistrate Jamaliah Abd Manap and Magistrate Rosnee Mohd Radzuan after lawyer K. Mahendran, representing Dr Neoh, informed the court that his client was a former psychiatric patient.

No plea was recorded for both charges.

The court then allowed an application by the prosecution, conducted by deputy public prosecutor Mohammad Syafiq Nasrullah Saleem Ali, for the accused to be sent to Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta, Perak, for mental observation for a month.

One of the two charges that were read out to Dr Neoh was for possession of a stolen identity card belonging to Ong Chong Chow Jonathan, at a unit at Gurney Park Condo, Jalan Kelawai, at 7.55 pm last April 23.

The other charge was for possession of a stolen identity card and passport belonging to one Wong Wei Ye at the same place at 7.55 pm last April 24.

Engineer charged with drink-driving, injuring retired cop ( Video )

KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 -- An engineer, who allegedly rammed his vehicle into a restaurant, injuring a retired policeman, claimed trial to a charge of drink-driving at the Ampang Magistrate’s Court here today.

S.Surintheran, 42, pleaded not guilty when the charge was read out to him before Magistrate Farah Nasihah Annuar.

He was accused of driving under the influence of alcohol, which exceeded the permitted limit of 163 milligrams, which resulted in him being unable to control his car before ramming into two cars and injuring a customer at the Taman Melawati food court, Mohd Rose Hassan, 63.

He allegedly committed the offence at the intersection of Jalan Bandar Melawati at Lorong Perak, Taman Melawati here at 8.30 pm on June 26.

The offence under Section 44 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 carries a jail term of between three and 10 years and a maximum fine of RM20,000, upon conviction.

Deputy Public Prosecutor, Nur Intan Syakieraah Zakaria did not offer any bail on the grounds that it was a non-bailable offence.

The accused, represented by lawyer A. Venkateswari, however, sought bail as her client was the sole breadwinner for his family with two young children and aged parents, and this was the accused’s first offence.

The court then fixed bail at RM7,000 with one surety and ordered the accused to surrender his passport to the court.

The case is fixed for mention on Aug 5.

KEPERLUAN KERJASAMA SEMUA LAPISAN MASYARAKAT DALAM MEMERANGI JANGKITAN COVID-19 DI MALAYSIA

Seperti yang diumumkan oleh YB Menteri Kanan (Kluster Keselamatan) pada 26 Jun 2020, beberapa sub-sektor pelancongan, pusat-pusat hiburan, aktiviti riadah dan pra sekolah akan dibuka semula pada 1 Julai 2020. Ini adalah sebahagian daripada pendekatan negara dalam pembukaan semula pelbagai sektor ekonomi secara terkawal dan tersusun. Dalam pada itu, pemantauan kes, kluster dan survelan COVID-19 masih dijalankan untuk memastikan penularan kes COVID-19 di komuniti dikesan segera.

Sejak Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Pemulihan (PKPP) mula dikuatkuasakan pada 10 Jun 2020 sehingga hari ini, jumlah kumulatif kes harian adalah 303 kes. Jika dilihat pada taburan kes harian sepanjang pelaksanaan PKPP, ianya adalah dalam lingkungan satu hingga dua angka.

Kebanyakan sektor ekonomi telah pun dibuka dan sedang beroperasi sepenuhnya, namun demikian penularan kes di dalam komuniti adalah terkawal. Ini membuktikan bahawa “pemulihan” Negara sememangnya telah bermula. Pemulihan ini adalah daripada segi mengimbangi nyawa dan mata pencarian rakyat.

Demi memastikan proses pemulihan berjalan lancar, Kerajaan telah membangunkan Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP) untuk pelbagai sektor dan sub-sektor. Pematuhan kepada SOP ini adalah paling utama dalam memastikan kes COVID-19 di Negara kita terus berkurang. Memandangkan lebih banyak sub-sektor akan dibuka pada 1 Julai 2020, kerjasama orang ramai adalah amat diperlukan oleh Kerajaan untuk sama-sama kita memutuskan rantaian penularan COVID-19 di Malaysia.

Seperti yang dinyatakan oleh Ketua Pengarah Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO), Dr Tedros Adhanom dalam sebuah taklimat secara maya, pandemik COVID-19 di dunia masih belum berakhir. Malah, secara global, kes-kes pandemik COVID-19 ini sebenarnya semakin meningkat. Beliau juga memberi amaran bahawa situasi pandemik COVID-19 di seluruh dunia dijangkakan akan semakin melarat.

Justeru, pihak KKM menyeru kepada orang ramai supaya tidak alpa dengan trend penurunan kes COVID-19 di Malaysia. Sebaliknya, kita perlu lebih berwaspada serta mematuhi SOP dan mengamalkan langkah-langkah pencegahan pada setiap masa. Kerjasama semua pihak adalah amat penting untuk kita sama-sama memutuskan rantaian penularan jangkitan COVID-19 di Malaysia.

Memetik daripada kenyataan Dr Tedros Adhanom:

“We all want this to be over. We all want to get on with our lives. But the hard reality is this is not even close to being over.”

Tengku Adnan handed over more than RM1 million to assist BN machinery in Sungai Besar, Kuala Kangsar by-elections,





30/06/2020 04:34 PM



KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 -- An UMNO divisional leader told the High Court here today that Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor had handed over to him cash of more than RM1 million for voluntary activities to assist the Barisan Nasional (BN) machinery in the Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar by-elections in 2016.

Simpang Renggam UMNO leader Datuk Zakaria Dullah, 51, said the money, totalling RM1,007,600, was given to him at the UMNO Secretary-General's Office at the Putra World Trade Center (PWTC) after the former Federal Territories Minister told him to prepare a budget for the activities concerned.

“Besides the RM1,007,600, Datuk Seri (Tengku Adnan) also gave me RM40,000 for my personal expenses as the coordinator for the two by-elections.

"Datuk Seri gave me the money (RM40,000) to ensure that I would not use the RM1,007,600 for my personal expenses. The money was given by Datuk Seri personally,” he said during examination-in-chief by lawyer Datuk Tan Hock Chuan, representing Tengku Adnan in a corruption case involving RM2 million.

Zakaria, who is the fourth defence witness, when reading out his witness statement, said the activities carried out included volunteers holding tuition classes for school students, seminars, gotong-royong, sport events and religious events, such as breaking of fast and “sahur” (pre-dawn meal during fasting month).

“In Sungai Besar, there were 600 volunteers involved at 30 district polling centres (PDM) and in Kuala Kangsar, there were 520 volunteers involving 26 PDMs," he added.

Meanwhile, to a question by deputy public prosecutor Julia Ibrahim, Zakaria, who is the last witness to testify in the defence trial, said he did not keep records of the expenses incurred.

Julia: For both the by-elections, how much was actually spent?

Zakaria: Normally, every ringgit is spent. If it is not enough, we ask for more. if there is extra, we keep.


He also told the court that it was a normal practice in UMNO in not keeping records or documents on expenses for elections.

Following which, the defence closed its case.

The hearing was before judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan, who then set Sept 11 to hear the oral submissions by both parties.

Cradle Fund: evidence room used only for Nazrin case exhibits




29/06/2020 08:06 PM



SHAH ALAM, June 29 -- The High Court in which the murder trial of Nazrin Hassan is being heard was told today that only evidence taken from the late Cradle Fund chief executive officer’s room were stored in the Fire and Rescue Department’s temporary evidence room around June 2018.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department investigations officer Che Daud Adli Yusof @ Che Man, the 23rd prosecution witness, said this was because he has to be informed about each piece of evidence stored in the room.

“There were 192 fire cases in June 2018 that involved structural fires or home fires.

“But in that month (June), the temporary room was used only once to store evidence and those were the exhibits for this case (Nazrin trial),” he said during cross-examination by defence counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah before Judge Datuk Ab Karim Ab Rahman.

Muhammad Shafee had earlier asked if the room had been also used to store evidence from other cases.

Che Daud Adli also told the court that the temporary case evidence room at the Fire Investigations Division of the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department was under his supervision,

“I am the only one with the keys to the room and any officer or personnel who wants to use the room must contact me first.

“I am very sure no one else had stored any other case exhibits in the room as there had been no requests for it,” he testified.

Che Daud Adli said throughout his role of supervising the room since 2016, there had been no incidents in which evidence had gone missing or replaced.


On March 12, 2019, Nazrin's wife Samirah Muzaffar, 44, a former senior executive at the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia, and two teenagers, aged 17 and 14, were charged, along with Indonesian citizen Eka Wahyu Lestari, who is still at large, with Nazrin’s murder.

They were alleged to have committed the offence at a house in Mutiara Homes, Mutiara Damansara between 11.30 pm on June 13, 2018 and 4 am on June 14, 2018.

The trial continues Friday.

I received over RM1 million in cash from Ku Nan for Sungai Besar by-election - Witness

29/06/2020 06:47 PM



KUALA LUMPUR, June 29 -- Former political secretary to Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor told the High Court here today that he received RM1,013,200 in cash from his boss at the latter’s house in Jalan Duta for use in the 2016 Sungai Besar by-election.

Datuk Mohd Rafi Alli Hassan, 42, who is now an entrepreneur, said the money was later handed over to then Sungai Besar UMNO by-election director, Datuk Rizalman Mokhtar, whom he had a meeting with a couple of days earlier.

“After the meeting with Rizalman at PWTC (on the by-election budget and strategies), I personally went to take cash of RM1,013,200 from Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan at his house.

“The money for use in the by-election was a personal contribution from Tengku Adnan,” he said during the examination-in-chief by lawyer Datuk Tan Hock Chuan at the defence trial of Tengku Adnan’s RM2 million corruption case.

Mohd Rafi, while reading his witness statement said Tengku Adnan never relied on political funding from UMNO headquarters and, if the Federal Territories UMNO needed some political fund, the Putrajaya Member of Parliament had always been able to provide it, either using his own money or political donations.

The second defence witness said Tengku Adnan appointed Rizalman as the Sungai Besar UMNO by-election director about a week before the nomination day.

Mohd Rafi, who served as Tengku Adnan’s political secretary from January 2014 to May 8, 2018, said the initial budget proposed for the by-election was RM1.3 million, but after the meeting, it was slashed to RM1,013, 200 to be exact.

Meanwhile, Rizalman, 48, told the court that it had been the political practice of UMNO that all expenses receipts recorded for either by-election or general election would not be kept for a long period of time especially when there were no matters arising on the funds.

When asked by Tan whether the RM1,013,200 was completely spent for the Sungai Besar by-election, the third defence witness said yes.


In his witness statement, Rizalman said Tengku Adnan appointed him as the Sungai Besar UMNO by-election director to ensure victory for Barisan Nasional.

“I prepared a budget of RM1.3 million for the by-election and discussed it with Mohd Rafi, who later had a meeting with Datuk Seri (Tengku Adnan). At the meeting, I was told that Datuk Seri has reduced the budget to RM1,013,200.

“About two to three days later, I received the cash from Datuk Mohd Rafi at UMNO headquarters,” he said, adding he was in charge of renting premises, daily allowances and transportations, logistics, food and beverages, as well as campaigning materials for BN during the by-election.

On Oct 14 last year, the High Court ordered Tengku Adnan to enter his defence, after finding that the prosecution had established a prima facie case against him.

Tengku Adnan, 69, was charged in his capacity as a public servant then, namely as Federal Territories Minister, with having accepted for himself RM2 million from Chai via a Hong Leong Islamic Bank cheque belonging to Aset Kayamas Sdn Bhd which was later deposited into the CIMB Bank account of Tadmansori Holdings in which he had an interest when it was known that Aset Kayamas had a connection with his official duties.

He is alleged to have committed the offence at the Pusat Bandar Damansara branch of CIMB Bank Berhad here on June 14, 2016.

The former minister was charged under Section 165 of the Penal Code, which carries a penalty of imprisonment of up to two years or a fine, or both if convicted.

Hearing before judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan continues tomorrow.
