PUTRAJAYA: Ketua Pesuruhjaya Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) Tan Sri Azam Baki hari ini mendedahkan kewujudan sistem 'hawala' berhubung kes rasuah berkaitan kelulusan Visa Luar Negara (VLN) warga Bangladesh memasuki Malaysia.

Sistem hawala merujuk kepada penghantaran wang melalui kaedah 'bawah tanah' tanpa melibatkan sistem perbankan atau syarikat kewangan rasmi.

Bercakap pada sidang media selepas majlis pelancaran pemakaian kamera badan dan jaket SPRM di sini hari ini, Azam berkata pihaknya sedang mengesan beberapa transaksi wang yang disyaki dibayar bagi tujuan perolehan visa pelancong yang disalahgunakan untuk memasuki negara.

"Kami juga mengesyaki terdapat sejumlah besar wang yang disalurkan melalui sistem hawala di beberapa tempat," katanya.

VLN merupakan visa lawatan sosial untuk pelancong luar memasuki Malaysia bagi tempoh tertentu dan menurut undang-undang negara, pelancong Bangladesh dibenarkan menetap di Malaysia selama 30 hari dan tidak layak didaftar untuk sistem permit kerja.

Menurutnya siasatan lanjut SPRM mendapati lambakan pekerja Bangladesh di Malaysia adalah menerusi sistem VLN yang disalahgunakan untuk bekerja dalam negara serta tidak melalui saluran pengambilan pekerja asing yang betul.

Isu penyelewengan permohonan VLN oleh warga Bangladesh mendapat liputan meluas sejak April lepas susulan penahanan dua pegawai Jabatan Imigresen (JIM) yang ditempatkan sementara untuk bertugas di Pejabat Atase Imigresen di Suruhanjaya Tinggi Malaysia di Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Seorang pegawai penguat kuasa yang pernah bertugas di Suruhanjaya Tinggi Bangladesh adalah antara dua individu ditahan pada 28 lepas kerana disyaki menerima rasuah dianggarkan lebih RM100 juta sejak 2021.

Siasatan mendapati pegawai itu dipercayai menerima bayaran sekitar RM1,363 (US$300) ke RM2,272 (US$500) bagi setiap kelulusan permohonan VLN melibatkan jumlah rasuah dianggarkan lebih RM100 juta meskipun pembayaran visa yang ditetapkan oleh kerajaan hanya RM105 sahaja.

Mengulas isu kecurian unsur nadir bumi (REE) di Kedah, beliau berkata setakat ini empat individu ditahan dan pihak SPRM akan memanggil lebih ramai saksi.

"Kita masih perlu untuk memanggil lebih ramai saksi untuk siasatan lanjut. Dalam hal ini, kita bukan saja menyiasat berhubung isu wang, malah isu pematuhan kelulusan REE.

"SPRM bukan saja siasat berhubung kesalahan di bawah rasuah, salah guna kuasa dan sebagainya, tetapi menjadi tanggungjawab kami di bawah Seksyen 7 (Akta SPRM 2009) untuk melihat kepada sistem dan prosedur yang ada, sekiranya terdapat kelemahan dan sebagainya," katanya.

Bagaimanapun, Ramli berkata pemberian nombor akaun bank dengan TAC atau kata laluan boleh menyebabkan akaun tersebut diakses secara dalam talian. - Gambar fail/Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR: Pemberian nombor akaun bank semata-mata tidak mempunyai elemen risiko yang boleh menyebabkan berlakunya kecurian, menurut Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Komersial (JSJK) Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf.

Bagaimanapun, beliau berkata pemberian nombor akaun bank dengan kod pengesahan transaksi (TAC) atau kata laluan boleh menyebabkan akaun tersebut diakses secara dalam talian.

"Setakat nombor akaun ini tidak boleh buat apa-apa, untuk buat transaksi mengeluarkan duit perlukan prosedur lain yang memerlukan seseorang itu memberikan maklumat lebih daripada nombor akaun.

"Tiada apa-apa elemen risiko di situ tetapi apabila anda memberikan nombor akaun dan kata laluan, tentulah itu satu risiko besar," katanya kepada Bernama di sini hari ini.

Beliau mengulas mengenai mesej tular melalui aplikasi WhatsApp sejak semalam yang mendakwa terdapat taktik penipuan dengan bertanyakan nombor akaun bagi memasukkan duit untuk pulang mengundi pada Pilihan Raya Umum.

POLIS-AKAUN 2 (AKHIR) KUALA LUMPUR

Mesej itu mendakwa ada pihak yang tertipu dengan taktik tersebut sehingga kerugian RM1,900.

Selain itu, Ramli berkata pihak bank juga mempunyai ciri-ciri keselamatan seperti beberapa soalan atau kata kunci yang hanya diketahui pemilik akaun sebelum melakukan sebarang transaksi.

Menurutnya setakat ini, tiada laporan diterima pihaknya berhubung perkara berkenaan, namun menasihatkan orang ramai supaya berhati-hati dalam berkongsi maklumat bank kepada orang yang tidak dikenali.

Friendly: Borussia Dortmund Beats Manchester United 3-2

LAS VEGAS: Borussia Dortmund punished Manchester United's defensive lapses on Sunday as the English Premier League giants wrapped up their North American tour with a 3-2 defeat to the Bundesliga side in Las Vegas.

A second-half strike by Dortmund substitute Youssoufa Moukoko proved the difference in an entertaining clash at the Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders.

United manager Erik ten Hag named a virtual reserve team to start, leaving the likes of Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and new signing Mason Mount on the bench.

Yet United's makeshift starting XI were more than a match for Dortmund in the first half, dominating for long periods before Diogo Dalot handed the Red Devils the lead on 24 minutes with a long-range strike.

But Dortmund turned the game on its head in the closing minutes of the first half, with two goals in a minute from Netherlands international forward Donyell Malen.

The first came when United's defense failed to close down Karim Adeyemi's burst down the right.

Despite the attention of a cluster of United defenders, Adeyemi was able to square for Malen, who hooked in from close range.

Malen grabbed his second a minute later, this time seizing on a United howler when Victor Lindelof lost possession inside the area trying to pass out from the back.

United were lucky not to go 3-1 down in the opening minutes of the second half, when another defensive slip, this time by Harry Maguire, allowed Sebastien Haller a shot on goal.

United goalkeeper Andre Onana saved and then watched in relief as Adeyemi blasted the follow-up wide with the goal gaping.

United did get back on level terms in the 52nd minute, when Brazilian forward Antony swept home a low shot from inside the area after a botched clearance by Dortmund veteran Mats Hummels.

Ten Hag rang in the changes with 30 minutes remaining, with Rashford instantly providing more of an attacking threat.

But it was Dortmund who scored the decisive goal, with veteran Marco Reus working a clever opening to set up Moukoko for the winner. - AFP

Ayer Keroh ADUN Kerk Chee Yee elected as the Deputy Speaker of the Melaka

 KERK ELECTED DEPUTY SPEAKER OF MELAKA

Kerk Chee Yee (File pix)

31/07/2023 12:41 PM

MELAKA, July 31 (Bernama) — Ayer Keroh state assemblyman Kerk Chee Yee has been elected as the Deputy Speaker of the Melaka State Legislative Assembly.

Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh proposed Kerk for the post and the proposal was seconded by Senior Exco of Housing, Local Government, Irrigation,

Climate Change and Disaster Management Datuk Rais Yasin.

Twenty-four assemblymen supported Kerk’s nomination, two abstained and two were not present during the vote at the state assembly sitting here today.

When tabling the proposal, Ab Rauf said Kerk possessed wide experience in administration and politics.

“The Melaka-born Kerk’s father  (the late)  Kerk Kim Hock was the Durian Daun assemblyman from  1986 to  1990. Kerk (Chee Yee) has a degree in Trade and

Accountancy from the University of Melbourne, Australia, and has been active in politics since 2017,” he said.

Ab Rauf said Kerk had also served as political secretary to former DAP adviser Tan Sri Lim Kit Siang and was the executive councillor in charge of communications,

multimedia, non-governmental organisations, youth and sports from 2018 to 2020.

Ab Rauf’s proposal to nominate Melaka UMNO secretary Datuk Mustafa Musa as a senator was also approved by the state assembly with the same votes.

The appointment of Mustafa, who is also Alor Gajah UMNO division deputy chief, is for a three-year term beginning today.

Kerk told reporters later that he wanted to bring reforms to the state assembly and would discuss this matter with the relevant parties.

“I have many ideas in the context of reforming this legislative body,” he said without elaborating.

On his appointment, he said it was another step taken by Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) which showed the unity of the Melaka state government.

“In the past few months following the formation of the unity government in Melaka, state Excos (executive councillors)  and deputy Excos were appointed from among PH assemblymen,” he said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Gara-gara mahu mengelak daripada didenda untuk permohonan kad pengenalan MyKad baharu selepas ia tercicir, seorang wanita sanggup membuat laporan polis kononnya dia disamun.

Bagaimanapun, tindakan wanita berusia 24 tahun itu mengundang padah apabila helahnya dihidu selepas siasatan dibuat ke atasnya.

Ketua Polis Daerah Ampang Jaya ACP Mohd Azam Ismail berkata suspek yang bekerja sendiri itu ditahan di Balai Polis Ampang, di sini 8.50 malam, Jumaat lepas, hari sama laporan palsu berkenaan dibuat.

"Pengadu (suspek) mendakwa telah didatangi suspek menaiki motosikal lalu meragut beg beliau ketika membonceng motosikal bersama teman lelakinya, pada 5 petang," katanya dalam kenyataan, hari ini.

Mohd Azam berkata semakan mendapati suspek tidak mempunyai sebarang rekod jenayah dan ujian saringan air kencing adalah negatif dadah.

Menurutnya, suspek ditahan reman empat hari sehingga esok dan kes disiasat di bawah Seksyen 182 Kanun Keseksaan yang boleh membawa hukuman penjara sehingga enam bulan atau didenda RM2,000 atau kedua-duanya.

Sehubungan itu, orang ramai diberi amaran agar tidak membuat laporan polis palsu bagi mengelak dikenakan denda oleh pihak Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara dalam proses mendapatkan kad pengenalan baru.

Dalam satu kenyataan di Facebook, Nooryana yang juga Exco Pergerakan Puteri UMNO itu membuat penjelasan tersebut selepas menerima mesej daripada bapanya pada pagi Ahad.

“Pagi tadi Yana terima mesej daripada Daddy (Najib). DSN (Datuk Seri Najib) ingin tegaskan bahawa Syed Imran dan Papagomo tidak mewakili DSN mahupun penyokong-penyokong DSN.

“Syed Imran juga tidak diarahkan oleh DSN untuk mengeluarkan apa-apa kenyataan mengenai pendirian DSN,” katanya dalam catatan tersebut.

Jelas Nooryana, bapanya sudah berada di penjara hampir setahun dan tidak adil untuk membuat sebarang tuduhan terhadap mana-mana individu 'menunggang' atau mempergunakan nama Najib Razak.

“Telah banyak ujian dan cabaran yang telah DSN lalui. DSN tahu menilai yang mana satu kawan yang mana satu lawan,” katanya.

Ujarnya, pendirian rasmi DSN hanya sah sekiranya ianya dimuat naik dalam saluran media sosial rasmi milik DSN melalui mesej kepada peguamnya.

KUALA LUMPUR: Pengumuman Timbalan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi berhubung peruntukan kepada golongan belia di Terengganu tiada kaitan dengan Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) pada 12 Ogos ini, kata Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar, yang juga Pengerusi Pakatan Harapan (PH), berkata pengumuman itu telah dibuat sebelum hari penamaan calon semalam.

"Ada orang cadang jangan buat pengumuman langsung mengenai peruntukan itu, ini tidak boleh kerana saya adalah Perdana Menteri, perlu jaga negara dan semuanya. Kalau penting, maka kita umum.

"Tetapi saya sudah memberitahu tidak boleh guna jentera negeri dan tidak boleh khusus dijadikan kempen pada PRN ini mulai semalam hingga hari pengundian. Itu adalah keputusan Jemaah Menteri," katanya kepada pemberita selepas berucap pada Majlis Perasmian Penutup Hari Pengguna Kebangsaan 2023 di sini hari ini.

Beliau mengulas kenyataan Timbalan Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man yang menyelar tindakan Ahmad Zahid mengumumkan peruntukan kepada tiga persatuan belia di Terengganu dengan syarat mengundi calon PH serta Barisan Nasional (BN), yang disifatkan sebagai satu bentuk rasuah menjelang PRN.

Ahmad Zahid, yang juga Menteri Kemajuan Desa dan Wilayah, mengumumkan peruntukan terbabit semasa merasmikan Himpunan Belia Lestari Generasi Unggul sempena program Sentuhan Kasih Desa di Bandar Al Muktafi Billah Shah pada 28 Julai lepas.

Ia termasuk peruntukan sebanyak RM100,000 kepada Persatuan Belia Gabungan Lembaga Kemajuan Terengganu Tengah (KETENGAH) dan RM200,000 kepada Majlis Belia Malaysia Terengganu bagi tujuan pembangunan aktiviti golongan itu di negeri berkenaan.

Ustaz Soberi dies while giving morning sermon

SINAR DAILY

He was pronounced dead while receiving treatment at a hospital.

"Cuba beritahu saya, antara orang tak cukup makan, orang tak ada kerja, Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU), orang miskin, kamu pilih RM38 juta untuk buat rumah. Allahu Akbar apa jenis manusia? Bercakap bukan main," katanya ketika berucap semasa program Ceramah Arus Merah Kuning di Subang Bestari pada Sabtu malam.

Jelas Pengerusi Pakatan Harapan (PH) itu lagi, beliau bersedia membawa anak-anak muda untuk melihat sendiri keadaan Kompleks Seri Perdana itu, jika ada yang masih tidak faham.

"Kamu (anak muda) kerja pun tidak. Orang bagi RM1, kerja kamu maki orang, buat apa? Kerja pun tak ada.

"RM38 juta baiki rumah Perdana Menteri yang memang dah cantik. Tukar karpet... RM80,000. Tukar lukisan... lukisan cantik-cantik, tukar lagi. Syarikat, tahu lah anak pinak pun campur...

"Tukar lagi lampu... dah cantik, tukar lagi. Tukar-tukar dah berapa, RM38 juta...," tambah Anwar.

Pada 30 September 2021, Muhyiddin dalam satu kenyataan menjelaskan bahawa RM38.5 juta yang diluluskan di bawah pentadbirannya untuk kerja-kerja ke atas Seri Perdana adalah BAGI membaik pulih kerosakan fizikal bangunan itu, bukannya sekadar pengubahsuaian.

Katanya, selepas dilantik sebagai Perdana Menteri pada Mac 2020, pihaknya menerima laporan daripada Jabatan Perdana Menteri (JPM) berhubung kerosakan fizikal Seri Perdana.

Pengerusi Perikatan Nasional (PN) itu menambah, jika tidak dibaik pulih segera, bangunan warisan kerajaan itu akan mengalami kerosakan yang lebih teruk pada masa hadapan dan kos membaik pulih dijangka meningkat.

Sementara itu, Perdana Menteri ketika itu, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob yang pada 28 September 2021 berkata, pengubahsuaian Seri Perdana dibuat selepas mengambil kira faktor keselamatan, selain memastikan imej negara dalam menyambut tetamu utama negara.

KUALA LUMPUR: The youngest candidate to contest in the State Election (PRN) involving six states is Melanie Ting Yi-Hlin, 23, while Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM) Deputy Chairman MS Ravinder Singh, 80, is the oldest candidate.

Melanie, who is also the Malaysian Democratic Alliance Party (MUDA) Information Staff Head, is facing a three-way competition in the Bukit Antarabangsa State Assembly involving Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Mohd Kamri Kamaruddin and Shasha Lyna Abdul Latif from Perikatan Nasional (PN).

MS Ravinder Singh, who is also a former teacher, contested in Pantai Jerejak in a four-cornered contest against Fahmi Zainol (PH-PKR), Oh Tong Keong (PN-Gerakan) and MUDA candidate Loh Xiang Pin.

This PRN also saw the involvement of children and those who have family ties.

The wife of the former Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad, Puan Sri Bibi Sharliza Mohd Khalid, appeared together with her son, Mohd Najib Mohd Isa, who is the Deputy Head of UMNO Port Dickson, competing on the Barisan Nasional (BN) ticket respectively in Juasseh and Bagan Pinang.

Bibi Sharliza, who is also Negeri Sembilan UMNO Women's Leader, will face Datuk Eddin Syazlee Shith (PN-Bersatu) while Mohd Najib faces a one-on-one contest with Abdul Fatah Zakaria (PN-PAS).

Also competing are Nurul Syazwani Noh and Danni Rais, who represent PN, respectively in Permatang State Assembly, Selangor and Klawang State Assembly, Negeri Sembilan.

Nurul Syazwani, who is also the son of former Selangor UMNO Relations Chairman Tan Sri Noh Omar, is up against Mohd Yahya Mat Sahri (PH-PKR) while Danni, the son of former Speaker of the National Assembly Tan Sri Rais Yatim, faces a three-cornered clash with Saiful Bahri Jaaman @ Sharman (Independent) and Datuk Bakri Sawir (PH-Amanah).

The Election Commission has determined that the PRN in Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah as well as the by-election for the Kuala Terengganu Parliament will be held simultaneously with polling day on August 12 while early voting on August 8.

The by-election for the Kuala Terengganu Parliament was held after the seat was declared vacant following the Election Court's decision on June 27 to nullify the victory of Datuk Ahmad Amzad Hashim from PAS in the 15th General Election.

KUALA LUMPUR: Pertukaran saat akhir calon Pakatan Harapan (PH) yang bertanding pada Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) adalah proses biasa, kata Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Pengerusi PH itu berkata pertukaran yang melibatkan calon daripada partinya, PKR semestinya dilakukan selepas melihat terdapat keperluan untuk berbuat demikian.

"Kita (PH) ada tiga tukar (pada saat akhir), satu di Kota Damansara (Selangor) dan juga di Kelantan dan Terengganu," kata beliau ketika ditemui pemberita selepas bersarapan di sebuah restoran di Ampang Jaya di sini.

Perdana Menteri yang juga Presiden PKR bagaimanapun tidak memperincikan kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) mana di Kelantan dan Terengganu yang terlibat dalam pertukaran saat akhir itu.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditanya mengenai pertukaran saat akhir calon PKR di kerusi DUN Kota Damansara yang dimaklumkan Naib Presiden yang juga Pengerusi PKR Selangor Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, lewat malam tadi.

Anwar berkata bagi DUN Kota Damansara, pertukaran melibatkan Aidi Amin Yazid yang sebelum ini diumum sebagai calon, digantikan oleh Ketua Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) Selangor Muhammad Izuan Ahmad Kasim.

"Bagi Kota Damansara ini, dia ni (Izuan) Ketua AMK Selangor, dan kita pun (PKR) tak ada calon AMK di Selangor, jadi saya rasa wajar pertimbangkan meletakkan beliau sebagai calon dan saya harap ia disambut baik semua," katanya.

Penamaan calon PN - GERAKAN Dominic Lau bagi DUN Bayan Lepas, seolah-olah “diboikot” apabila tiada pimpinan PAS hadir

BAYAN LEPAS: Sebagaimana dijangka, proses penamaan calon Perikatan Nasional (PN) bagi kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Bayan Lepas, seolah-olah “diboikot” apabila tiada langsung kelibat pimpinan Pas yang hadir memberi sokongan kepada calon mereka, Datuk Dr Dominic Lau Hoe Chai.

Ia dipercayai susulan konflik yang berlaku berhubung isu calon yang diputuskan Majlis Presiden PN yang menamakan Presiden Gerakan itu untuk bertanding di kerusi tersebut.

Di kerusi tersebut, Dominic bakal berdepan dengan penyandangnya, Azrul Mahathir Aziz dari Pakatan Harapan.

Terdahulu, Dominic yang tiba di pusat penamaan calon di Dewan Bukit Belah, Teluk Kumbar kira-kira jam 8.50 pagi ditemani kurang daripada 100 penyokongnya.

Meskipun kelihatan hambar, para penyokong tetap bersemangat melaungkan 'Perikatan Nasional, Jom Kalih dan Hidup Dominic' ketika mengiringi calon berkenaan Dominic memasuki dewan.

Sementara itu, sekitar 300 penyokong Pakatan Harapan ( PH) pula mengiringi calon mereka, Azrul Mahathir Aziz sambil berselawat serta laungan 'Penang elok dah.'

Media sebelum ini melaporkan timbul konflik membabitkan kerusi DUN Bayan Lepas apabila Pas DUN Bayan Lepas menyuarakan ketidakpuasan hati susulan hasrat Dominic untuk bertanding di kerusi berkenaan.

Mereka mengancam untuk memboikot proses penamaan calon sekiranya Dominic masih berkeras untuk bertanding di kerusi berkenaan.

Meletakkan Dominic di kerusi yang majoritinya orang Melayu mengundang risiko buat PN untuk memenangi PRN selepas pencalonan Presiden Gerakan itu dibantah majoriti ahli Pas.

Terdapat tiga DUN di bawah Parlimen Balik Pulau iaitu Bayan Lepas, Pulau Betong dan Teluk Bahang.

Gerakan Pulau Pinang akan bertanding 19 kerusi daripada 40 kerusi di bawah gabungan PN sementara Pas akan bertanding 10 kerusi, manakala Bersatu akan bertanding 11 kerusi.

Pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-14 (PRU14), Azrul dari parti Amanah menang dengan majoriti 5,245 menewaskan Cikgu Rusli Hashim dari Barisan Nasional dan Zarina Shinta Madar dari Pas.

AMPANG: Penyandang kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Pandan Indah, Izham Hashim daripada Pakatan Harapan (PH) berdepan saingan empat penjuru di kerusi berkenaan dalam Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) pada 12 Ogos depan.

Pengerusi Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) Selangor itu dicabar calon Perikatan Nasional (PN), Fazil Mohamad Dali, juga dikenali sebagai Ayahanda Cik Ton atau Cik Ton.

Turut memberi tentangan di kerusi berkenaan ialah Lisa Redzuan yang juga Timbalan Ketua Parlimen MUDA Bandar Tun Razak mewakili Parti Ikatan Demokratik Malaysia (MUDA).

Dalam masa sama, seorang calon Bebas Sivaneswaran Ramasundram turut mengesahkan pencalonan di kerusi DUN Pandan Indah.

Sementara itu, kerusi DUN Teratai pula menyaksikan saingan satu lawan satu melibatkan dua muka baharu mewakili PH dan PN.

PH meletakkan Yew Jia Haur, manakala PN, Chew Han Keai.

Pengumuman rasmi calon di kedua-dua DUN berkenaan dibuat oleh Pegawai Pengurus Pilihan Raya DUN Pandan Indah, Julaihah Jamaludin dan Pegawai Pengurus Pilihan Raya DUN Teratai, Ahmad Alhairi Mohamed Yusuf di Pusat Penamaan Calon (PPC) Dewan Perbandaraan MPAJ Pandan Indah, di sini sekitar pukul 10.30 pagi.

Pada Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-14 (PRU14) Izham menang dengan majoriti 16,386 undi menewaskan calon Barisan Nasional (BN), Datuk Mohd Haniff Koslan dan Datuk Iskandar Abdul Samad (Pas) di DUN Pandan Indah.

Sementara kerusi DUN Teratai pada PRU14 dimenangi calon Parti Warisan (Warisan), Bryan Lai Wai Chong dengan majoriti 29,425 undi menewaskan Mohd Irman Abdul Wahab (Pas) dan Liew Pok Boon (Barisan Nasional).

Beliau mengumumkan keluar parti DAP pada April 2021 untuk menjadi wakil rakyat bebas sebelum menyertai Warisan pada Januari 2022.

Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya menetapkan hari pengundian bagi enam negeri pada 12 Ogos, manakala hari undi awal pada 8 Ogos.

KUALA LUMPUR: Jabatan Siasatan dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik (JSPT) akan melaksanakan tindakan penguatkuasaan ke atas semua pengguna kenderaan di seluruh negara bagi mendidik dan memberi kesedaran kepada masyarakat supaya mematuhi undang-undang serta peraturan lalu lintas.

Timbalan Pengarah JSPT Bukit Aman Datuk Mohd Nasri Omar berkata penguatkuasaan itu memfokus kepada pematuhan peraturan lalu lintas meliputi Op Lampu Isyarat Merah, Op Nombor Pendaftaran, Op Halangan Lalu Lintas, Op Garisan Putih, Op Parkir Haram dan Kempen Op Didik.

Beliau berkata operasi penguatkuasaan akan dilaksana secara berterusan di semua kontinjen dan daerah dengan tumpuan di kawasan kerap berlaku kemalangan serta ketidakpatuhan peraturan lalu lintas.

"JSPT menasihati semua pengguna jalan raya supaya sentiasa mengikut peraturan yang telah ditetapkan dan memastikan undang-undang jalan raya dipatuhi tanpa kompromi.

"Kerjasama daripada orang ramai diharap dapat meningkatkan lagi kesedaran ke atas kepentingan menjaga keselamatan diri dan orang lain," menurutnya dalam kenyataan pada Jumaat.

Tinjauan Bernama mendapati ramai penunggang motosikal dan pemandu kenderaan mematuhi garisan putih iaitu kawasan yang dibenarkan berhenti ketika lampu isyarat merah dan tidak meletakkan kenderaan di kawasan petak kuning atau parkir berlapis yang boleh menghalang pergerakan lalu lintas.

Inspektor Penguatkuasa Trafik Kuala Lumpur Ahmad Mahfuz Mhd Zakaria berkata kesalahan masih berlaku tetapi sejak pelaksanaan Op Hormat pada 1 Julai lepas, jumlah saman yang dikeluarkan berkurangan berbanding awal bulan ini.

"Ini bermakna pengguna jalan raya semakin peka dan mematuhi undang-undang jalan raya, mungkin sebelum ini mereka sering tidak mengendahkan peraturan namun pelaksanaan Op Hormat mendidik orang awam dalam mengikut undang-undang lalu lintas," katanya.

Bagi Azreen Ariffin, 28, yang juga seorang guru, Op Hormat amat baik dalam memberikan kesedaran kepada pengguna jalan raya di ibu negara manakala kehadiran anggota polis yang bertugas di kawasan lalu lintas pada waktu puncak menjadikan mereka mematuhi peraturan.

"Keadaan lalu lintas menjadi lebih selamat. Semua mematuhi undang-undang jalan raya, semua nak mengelak daripada disaman," katanya kepada Bernama.

Polis Kuala Lumpur melaksanakan Op Hormat Undang-Undang Jalan Raya di sekitar ibu negara dari 1 hingga 31 Julai ini untuk memberikan pendedahan, kesedaran dan pendidikan kepada pengguna jalan raya dalam mematuhi undang-undang. - BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR: The six-state elections kick off today with the nomination of candidates at 173 centres across the states.

All the nomination centres will be opened at 9 am.

Prospective candidates representing political parties or contesting on an Independent ticket in the state elections in Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu have until 10 am to submit their nomination forms to the returning officer at all nomination centres.

Apart from the 245 state seats, also to be held is the by-election for the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary seat, which was declared vacant following the Terengganu Election Court's decision to nullify the victory of Datuk Ahmad Amzad Hashim of PAS in the 15th General Election (GE15).

The 14-day campaign period for the state elections and the by-election will begin after the official announcement of candidates is made by the returning officer and will run until 11.59 pm on Aug 11.

The Election Commission (EC) has set Aug 12 as the polling date for the state elections in Selangor, Kedah, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu and Negeri Sembilan as well as the Kuala Terengganu by-election and early voting on Aug 8.

It is the first time the six states are holding their state elections separately from the General Election.

The State Assembly of Kelantan, which has 45 seats, was dissolved on June 22, followed by the 56-seat State Assembly of Selangor on June 23.

The 40-seat Penang State Assembly, 36-seat Kedah State Assembly, and 32-seat Terengganu State Assembly were dissolved simultaneously on June 28, while the 36-seat Negeri Sembilan State Assembly completed its full five-year term before being dissolved on July 1.

According to EC's statistics, a total of 9,773,571 registered electors were eligible to vote in the six state elections with Selangor having the highest number at 3,747,057; Kedah (1,585,085); Kelantan (1,411,912); Penang (1,234,198); Terengganu (930,894); and Negeri Sembilan (864,425).

Meanwhile, fair weather is expected in Penang, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu in the morning today, according to the Malaysian Meteorological Department.

On its website, the department, however, said rain is forecast in one or two areas in the interiors of Selangor, while thunderstorms in one or two places are predicted in Negeri Sembilan.

KUALA TERENGGANU: The people of Terengganu need to rise and change their support to the Unity Government in the state election to be held this Aug 12, said UMNO president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said this election would be the most appropriate time for the people to express their support for the Unity government if they do not want to suffer the same fate as the people in the opposition-led states.

"We are afraid of what is happening in Kelantan, 33 years of unresolved water problems. For the people of Terengganu, don't let Pas rule (the state) for a second term, one term is enough.

"We know Terengganu is a swing state, sometimes at the top and sometimes at the bottom, We were defeated before, but this time Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) will take over Terengganu," he said.

The Deputy Prime Minister said this when speaking at the "Jelajah Madani" programme and launch of the Terengganu Unity machinery here today.

Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid said he had faith in true "ulama" (religious scholars), but not the political ulama who often misinterpret the Quran and hadith for their own benefit.

"A leader only speaks the truth, when he makes promises, they must be fulfilled. An ulama should give the right advice," he added.

The government, he said, should also be fair to all the people and cited Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as an example.

He said the prime minister exercised fairness in solving problems, including in the opposition states, like the water issue in Kelantan.

"The fact is that they (the opposition) will allow what is wrong and they will deny what is true or right... We hope the people of Terengganu will rise up and change the state government to a Unity Government," he said.

He also called on the Unity machinery to work together to ensure victory for the PH-BN candidates in the state election.

"We (BN) help them (PH) here. In other states, PH helps BN candidates," he added,.

This follows allegations by Berjaya Group founder and adviser Tan Sri Vincent Tan regarding the cancellation of the Letter of Intent (LOI) awarded to Berjaya Group and the Naza Group joint venture (JV) company when the former prime minister led the government."We request the police to initiate an investigation into this matter," said Mahasiswa Keadilan Malaysia vice-chairman K.Yuveraaj after lodging the report at the Dang Wangi police station here today.

Earlier, the media had reported that Tan said the LOI relating to the contract for the Government Vehicle Supply, Repair and Maintenance Project (Fleet Project) was terminated three months after Muhyiddin took over as Prime Minister from Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in March 2020.

Tan claimed the contract was terminated and awarded to Spanco Sdn Bhd at a higher price than the bids submitted by joint ventures Kumpulan Berjaya and Kumpulan Naza.

On July 17, the joint venture between Berjaya Group and Naza Group filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Finance for terminating the LoI offered to them.

DUNGUN: The Unity Government does not permit any Cabinet ministers or government leaders to benefit from government land or logging activities, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.

He stressed that any minister or leader caught flaunting the ban would be terminated from their position.

"The biggest difference between the Unity Government and previous administrations is that this government does not permit government ministers or leaders to touch a single inch of public land nor a single piece of timber.

"If this happens, they will be stripped of their positions," he said during his speech at the Sentuhan Kasih Desa Terengganu programme at Bandar Al Muktafi Billah Shah here today, with Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Central Terengganu Development Authority (KETENGAH) chairman, and several Cabinet ministers in attendance.

Anwar said there were certain parties that frequently slandered the government and played up religious sentiments but dared not ban their leaders from profiting from logging activities, contracts and shareholdings.

Anwar also said that the government has never betrayed Malaysians by reducing allocations as alleged by certain parties.

The prime minister said that with the improving economic situation, there is greater hope for the country to develop, and the government has even provided added allocations for infrastructure, including in opposition states.

AMSTERDAM: The car carrier burning off the Dutch coast since Tuesday night is carrying nearly 500 electric vehicles, significantly more than the 25 initially reported, ship charter company "K Line" said on Friday.

The fire on the Panamanian-registered Fremantle Highway, which was carrying new cars, resulted in the death of an Indian crew member and injury of seven others who jumped overboard to escape the flames.

There were 3,783 vehicles on board, including 498 battery electric vehicles, a Tokyo-based spokesperson for K Line (Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha), which had chartered the vessel, said. He declined to say anything about the car brands, including whether or not it included any cars from Japanese manufacturers.

The coastguard said on its website Thursday the cause of the fire was unknown, but an emergency responder is heard in a recording released by Dutch broadcaster RTL saying "the fire started in the battery of an electric car".

EV lithium-ion batteries burn with twice the energy of a normal fire and maritime officials and insurers say the industry has not kept up with the risks.

An investigation has been launched by the Panama Maritime Authority and the Netherlands is assisting the inquiry, the Dutch Safety Board has said.

The 199-metre (653 ft) Fremantle, which is still burning, is drifting about 17 km from the northernmost Dutch coast, the coastguard said. It was on the way from Germany to Egypt.

The islands are on the northernmost tip of the Netherlands, and comprise part of the Wadden Sea, a vast area of tidal flats and marshland stretching along Germany and Denmark that is on UNESCO's World Heritage list.

BUTTERWORTH: Bekas Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Bagan Dalam, M. Satees mengumumkan keluar DAP seterusnya bertanding sebagai calon Bebas pada Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) Pulau Pinang 12 Ogos ini.

Katanya, keputusan bertanding di DUN Bagan Dalam itu dibuat selepas namanya digugurkan sebagai calon.

Beliau berkata, ia adalah isyarat jelas kepada pemimpin parti yang dirujuk sebagai ‘Maharaja’ di dalam DAP yang didakwa cuba merosakkan pentadbiran kerajaan negeri.

Satess yang sudah bersama DAP sejak 2008 berkata, telah menghantar surat perletakan jawatan sebagai ahli parti itu kepada Setiausaha Agung DAP, Anthony Loke Siew Fok pagi tadi.

Tindakan keluar parti itu menyusul selepas bekas Ahli Majlis Majlis Bandaraya Seberang Perai (MBSP), David Marshel mengambil tindakan sama dan bertanding sebagai calon Bebas yang menyokong kepimpinan Chow Kon Yeow sebagai Ketua Menteri.

"Saya membuat keputusan keluar parti ini sebab saya mahu letak jawatan sebelum saya dibuang. Satu saja saya nak nyatakan... ada pihak kata saya keluar daripada parti sebab saya kecewa tak dapat pencalonan, itu bukan sebabnya.

"Sudah tiba masanya, saya tidak lagi berada dalam parti, dan saya fikir sudah tiba masanya saya melawan 'individu' itu dari luar parti. Kalau saya masih berada di dalam parti, tangan saya 'terikat'.

"Ini tidak bermakna saya bencikan parti, tidak, saya sertai parti ini, parti yang demokratik ini, jadi saya percaya parti ini akan kembali ke matlamat asal semula apabila kita berjaya 'membuang' maharaja' tersebut.

"Apa yang penting di sini adalah saya mahu sampaikan pada rakyat dan pengundi di Pulau Pinang, negeri ini bukan 'individu' itu yang punya, tetapi (kepunyaan) rakyat Pulau Pinang," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang media di pejabat Adun DAP Bagan Dalam di Butterworth pada Jumaat

Dalam pengumuman calon DAP bagi PRN Pulau Pinang sebelum ini, Loke mengumumkan 19 calon.

Bagaimanapun tujuh penyandang termasuk lima Exco Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang digugurkan, yang disifatkan sebagai satu proses pembaharuan bagi memastikan parti itu kekal dinamik dan relevan dalam politik.

Antara tujuh penyandang digugurkan ialah Timbalan Ketua Menteri II, P. Ramasamy di kerusi DUN Perai, Phee Boon Poh (Sungai Puyu), Soon Lip Chee (Bagan Jermal), Chong Eng (Pangkalan Kota), Yeoh Soon Hin (Paya Terubong) dan Lee Chun Kit (Pulau Tikus).

Bunuh pemandu Grab, dua warga asing dihukum gantung

SHAH ALAM: Mahkamah Tinggi di sini hari ini menjatuhkan hukuman gantung sampai mati terhadap dua warga asing selepas didapati bersalah membunuh seorang pemandu Grab warga tempatan lima tahun lalu.

Hakim Nurulhuda Nur'aini Mohamad Nor menjatuhkan hukuman itu ke atas warga Myanmar Sua Lay, 38, dan warga India Gurpreet Singh, 28, selepas pihak pembelaan gagal menimbulkan keraguan munasabah di akhir kes pembelaan.

Nurulhuda dalam penghakiman memaklumkan tiada pembelaan yang timbul dan berbangkit berhubung kejadian pembunuhan pemandu perkhidmatan p-hailing itu.

Katanya, hujahan kedua-dua tertuduh yang dimaklumkan kepada mahkamah bahawa mereka tidak memahami bahasa Melayu juga tidak boleh diterima kerana tertuduh mampu memberikan arahan kepada mangsa untuk berhenti awal dari tempat asal yang dituju oleh mereka.

Selain itu, Nurulhuda berkata kedua-dua tertuduh mampu untuk memandu arah kepada penemuan kunci kereta jenis Perodua Myvi milik mangsa (ketika proses siasatan polis).

"Mangsa dijerut dan ada kecederaan pada leher. Selain itu ada penemuan ujian asid deoksiribonukleik (DNA) kedua-dua tertuduh pada tali pinggang keledar bahagian pemandu.

"Walaupun ia tidak dikatakan (pembunuhan) zalim, tetapi fakta mayat (mangsa) ditinggal begitu sahaja dalam kereta.

"Ini menunjukkan tertuduh tiada mempunyai perasaan belas kasihan terhadap si mati.

"Atas alasan itu, saya bersetuju hujahan pihak pendakwaan dan (menjatuhi) hukuman gantung sampai mati kepada tertuduh," katanya.

Sua Lay dan Gurpreet sebelum ini didakwa di Mahkamah Majistret Selayang pada 16 Julai 2018 atas pertuduhan membunuh seorang pemandu Grab, pada 21 Jun tahun yang sama.

Tertuduh, masing-masing bekerja sebagai pembantu kedai sayur dan kelindan lori didakwa dengan niat bersama-sama membunuh pemandu Grab, Aiman Nosri, 27, di tempat letak kereta, di lorong belakang Blok C di Taman Selayang Makmur, Selayang Baru, Batu Caves, pada 10.08 malam, 21 Jun 2018.

Mereka dituduh mengikut Seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan dan dibaca bersama Seksyen 34 kanun sama yang memperuntukkan hukuman mati mandatori, jika sabit kesalahan.

Terdahulu, kedua-dua tertuduh diwakili peguam Siti Anis Che Ab Wahab dan Muhamad Amirul Jamaluddin memohon agar anak guam mereka dikenakan hukuman penjara 30 tahun dan 12 sebatan berdasarkan peruntukan baharu dalam Seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan sama ada dijatuhi hukuman gantung sampai mati atau penjara berserta sebatan.

Muhamad Amirul berkata walaupun ada kehilangan nyawa, namun melihat pada keterangan mahkamah tidak ada bukti langsung kedua-dua tertuduh membunuh mangsa serta mahkamah jarang meletakkan sesuatu hukuman ke tahap yang maksimum kecuali ia melibatkan penjenayah tegar.

Bagaimanapun, Timbalan Pendakwa Raya Mohammed Heikal Ismail dalam hujahannya berkata hukuman mestilah melambangkan kepentingan awam dan bertujuan mencegah selain menjadi isyarat berkesan kepada orang awam berkenaan seriusnya kesalahan membunuh.

"Kesalahan membunuh adalah satu kes yang amat serius. Dalam kes ini, tertuduh telah melakukan satu kesalahan jenayah keji.

"Justeru, hukuman gantung dianggap setimpal kepada mereka selepas didapati bersalah," katanya.

THE STRAITS TIMES

SINGAPORE – It took Oscar-winning Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh and her long-time fiance Jean Todt 6,992 days – almost two decades – since they first met to get married.

The couple finally made it official and tied the knot on Thursday in Geneva, Switzerland, surrounded by friends and family.

Brazilian Formula One racer Felipe Massa, 42, shared the good news on his Instagram account on Friday, congratulating the lovebirds with a sweet message (“Happy marriage #JeanTodt & #michelleyeoh love you so much”).

Todt, 77, first met Yeoh, 60, in Shanghai, China, on June 4, 2004, and after 1½ months of dating, the French Formula One legend and motor racing executive popped the question on July 26, 2004.

Yeoh kept her style elegant and classy for her big day, as seen in the photos shared by Massa.

She wore a white silk button-up top and a tiered skirt for the wedding solemnisation, and was dressed in a champagne gown with an embellished corseted bodice at the after-party.



Meanwhile, her groom looked dashing in a navy suit.


Their love story is filled with romance. In 2020, Yeoh documented their 6,000 days together in an Instagram post, celebrating their time together.

This year is turning out to be one filled with memorable moments for Yeoh. She made history in March by being the first Asian woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the science-fiction comedy Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022).

This union is the second marriage for both Yeoh and Todt. He has a son, Nicolas, from an earlier relationship, while Yeoh was married to Hong Kong magnate Dickson Poon from 1988 to 1991.
