KUALA LUMPUR: Seorang individu tampil mengakui beliau adalah individu yang membawa sekumpulan pelajar tahfiz ke konsert KEPCI Music Fest di Stadium Malawati, Shah Alam, semalam.
Andrie Ung Han Xiang menjelaskan, pihak penganjur termasuk kerajaan tidak terbabit dengan kehadiran mereka.
Menurutnya, dia bersama rakan mengumpul sumbangan bagi membawa kira-kira 700 anak yatim dari 22 rumah kebajikan seluruh negara ke festival itu.
“Inisiatif ini adalah sepenuhnya daripada kami yang ikhlas untuk memberi peluang kepada anak yatim yang kurang berkemampuan merasai pengalaman menghadiri festival itu.
“Tujuan kami ikhlas menjemput mereka bersama memeriahkan festival yang turut menyediakan permainan kanak-kanak dan aktiviti lain serta konsert, selain boleh dihadiri semua masyarakat,” katanya dalam kenyataan hari ini.
Kenyataan itu dibuat susulan tular di media sosial rakaman video menunjukkan kehadiran pelajar tahfiz menonton konsert di festival hiburan itu.
Video berkenaan menerima pelbagai reaksi daripada pengguna media sosial.
Mengulas mengenai video tular itu, Andrie berkata, pelajar memakai jubah hijau dan berserban putih adalah dari sebuah pusat tahfiz di TTDI Jaya, Selangor.
Mereka adalah anak pelarian Rohingya yang hampir tidak tahu berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Melayu.
Andrie berdukacita atas ketidakpuasan hati dan menyinggung perasaan pihak tertentu yang terkesan dengan isu itu.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida ordered his fisheries minister to apologise on Thursday for referring to treated radioactive water being released from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant as "contaminated" and told him to retract his remark.
Fisheries minister Tetsuro Nomura was heard calling the treated radioactive water "contaminated" when speaking to reporters earlier in the day following a meeting with Kishida.
He said his discussions with the premier involved "the evaluation of the contaminated water" after its release into the Pacific.
Japan is calling the water it is releasing into the ocean "ALPS treated water" to differentiate it from the contaminated water held in tanks around the wrecked plant site.
ALPS stands for "Advanced Liquid Processing System", a system aimed at removing most radioactive elements from the water except for tritium before it is released into the ocean as "treated" water.
"It's deeply disappointing that he made such a remark. I've instructed Minister Nomura to issue an apology as well as retract what he said," Kishida said on Thursday when asked for comment.
Because tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, is difficult to separate from water, the Fukushima wastewater is diluted until tritium levels fall below regulatory limits.
Japan's fisheries agency said tests of fish from near the plant on Saturday found no detectable levels of tritium.
SEREMBAN: A People's Volunteer Corps (Rela) personnel died after collapsing during the march-past held in conjunction with the Negri Sembilan state-level 66th National Day celebrations at Dataran Majlis Bandaraya Seremban here.
Seremban district police chief ACP Arifai Tarawe said a preliminary investigation found that the 53-year-old man collapsed and lost consciousness at about 10am and was confirmed dead at the Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital here.
"A post-mortem found the cause of death was due to a heart problem (coronary artery occlusion). The case has been classified as sudden death," he said in a statement on Thursday (Aug 31).
He said anyone with information or who saw the incident could contact investigating officer Insp Adi Khusaini Saripudin at 012-770 7282 or the Seremban District Police Headquarters at 06-603 3222. – Bernama

STOCKHOLM: Bomb experts were called to the scene after a city in Sweden was shaken by four explosions within an hour.
After 1 a.m. local time, Gothenburg Police received reports of two explosions at separate addresses.
The police announced that both locations were immediately closed and technical investigations were continuing.
"There were no reports of injured people, only damage to buildings," he said.
An hour later two more explosions were reported, namely a few minutes apart in the Norsborg area on the southern edge of Stockholm and in Nykoping, about 100 kilometers (km) to the south of the capital.
Police said no one was injured at either scene. All four explosions occurred in residential buildings.
Sweden has struggled to curb incidents of gunfire and bombings in recent years as terrorist groups resolve issues that have raised the issue of drug trafficking.
Gothenburg police told AFP it was too early to speculate on the motive for the two explosions in the city.
According to data from the Swedish police, the country recorded 90 explosions and 101 more cases of attempted or prepared bombings, while a total of 109 explosions had been recorded up to 15 August.
The police alleged that the incident of the bombing was aimed at frightening the target, when shots were used to kill and eliminate the enemy.
According to police records, Sweden recorded a total of 391 shootings in 2022, 62 of which were fatal, up from 45 in the previous year. - AFP

PUTRAJAYA: Puas dan berbangga. Itulah yang dirasai Sarjan Saidatul Husna Kamarudin, usai lompatan mengagumkannya merentasi 66 motosikal Royal Enfield pada sambutan Hari Kebangsaan 2023 di sini hari ini.
Lebih membanggakan, lompatan pertama kali di hadapan Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah dan Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah itu disempurnakan pada hari lahir ke-35 Saidatul Husna hari ini.
Al-Sultan Abdullah dan Tunku Azizah yang teruja melihat aksi mendebarkan Saidatul Husna memberikan tepuk sanjungan kepada anak kelahiran Kedah itu yang turut mendapat tepukan gemuruh daripada ribuan pengunjung yang hadir di Dataran Putrajaya pagi ini.
"Aura lompatan hari ini cukup hebat dan lain dari lompatan-lompatan saya sebelum ini. Buat lompatan merentasi 66 motosikal Royal Enfield di hadapan (Yang di-Pertuan) Agong dan Permaisuri Agong serta disaksikan lautan manusia di kiri dan kanan landasan cukup mendebarkan.
"Seperti kebiasaan sebelum buat lompatan, saya kosongkan fikiran dan banyakkan berdoa berharap semuanya dilancarkan. Keluarga yang hadir menyaksikan saya di sini turut menyumbang selesaikan amanah yang besar ini," katanya kepada Bernama di sini hari ini.
Tambah wanita yang telah 13 tahun menyertai pasukan Akrobatik Motosikal Tentera Darat Army Red Warrior itu, masalah teknikal yang dihadapi motosikal jenis Scrambler Kawasaki 250cc kendaliannya pada sesi raptai penuh Selasa lepas sedikit mencemaskannya.
Bagaimanapun, pemeriksaan lanjut pasukan mekanik akhirnya membolehkan lompatan paling jauh dalam rekod peribadi dan pasukan Army Red Warrior berjaya disempurnakan hari ini.
"Alhamdulillah berkat kerjasama rakan sepasukan yang umpama satu keluarga ini, semuanya berjalan lancar. Kami saling menyokong antara satu sama lain untuk jayakan setiap misi lebih-lebih lagi misi besar untuk negara, hari ini," kata ibu kepada seorang cahaya mata itu.
Saidatul Husna sebelum ini pernah mencipta rekod Lompatan Motosikal Terpanjang (Wanita) yang dicatatkan di Malaysia Books of Record (MBOR) pada persembahan TATU Tentera Darat (TDM) bersempena Hari Tentera Darat ke-90 di Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, Mac lepas.
Lompatan ekstrem bermotosikal oleh Saidatul Husna merupakan antara persembahan menarik Army Red Warrior sempena Hari Kebangsaan 2023 selain aksi akrobatik motosikal melibatkan motosikal carrier menerusi aksi penunggang membawa motosikal menaiki tangga setinggi lapan kaki, formasi bunga raflesia, tugu negara dan merak.

PUTRAJAYA: The Jalur Gemilang flew majestically as thousands of people from all walks of life rekindled their spirit of patriotism at Dataran Putrajaya here today to express their love for the nation on Malaysia's 66th National Day with bursting pride and colours.
The early morning peace and tranquility were broken as early as 1 am when the sea of people flocked to every corner of the square where the historic event is being held today.
The theme ''Malaysia MADANI: Tekad Perpaduan, Penuhi Harapan' (Determination in Unity, Fulfiling Hope) is apt with the framework of the new vision for Malaysia MADANI, which is supported by the Unity Government and is seen as being capable of boosting the spirit of unity that has long existed among Malaysians.
Dignitaries and national leaders started to arrive at 7.30 am, followed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah and the Raja Permaisuri Agong, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah who waved at the crowd and was greeted by loud cheers.
As soon as Al-Sultan Abdullah and Tunku Azizah took their place at the royal box, five helicopters - three Airbus H225M (EC 725) helicopters, AgustaWestland AW109 (Agusta A109) and Maritime Operations Helicopter (HOM) AW 139 - did a fly-past accompanied by the national anthem 'Negaraku'.
His Majesty was then given the Royal Salute and invited to inspect the Guard of Honour mounted by four officers and 103 members of the First Battalion of the Royal Malay Regiment, led by Major Mohd Ridhwan Mohd Asri.
Dataran Putrajaya, which last hosted the historic celebration in 2019, resounded to the beating of drums and three chants of 'Malaysia MADANI' to mark the arrival of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Apart from the prime minister, the two Deputy Prime Ministers - Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof - as well as Cabinet ministers, including Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil, diplomats, foreign delegates and dignitaries attended the National Day 2023 celebration.
In a move to promote Malaysia's batik heritage, the Cabinet Ministers and guests of honour wore special batik attire patterned with the hibiscus flower and Harimau Malaya stripes designed by Kraftangan Malaysia.
The event which involved 17,262 participants, 67 contingents, 36 brass bands, 534 land and air assets and 100 animals in service, was also broadcast and followed by millions of Malaysians live through television and social media sites.
The National Day 2023 celebration started off with singing the national anthem and then the hoisting of the Jalur Gemilang, which was accompanied by a 14-gun salute, symbolising the 14 states in Malaysia, by Unit 41 Battery of the Royal Artillery Regiment led by Lt Col Mohamad Asri Che Wil.
The event would not be complete without the recitation of the 'Rukun Negara' pledge and sports icon Muhammad Haikal Roslan, who is the under-25 gold medalist in the 12th Asian Bowls Championship 2023, was given the role to lead the 66 pledge recitors of various races, highlighting the element of unity.
Even more special was the fact that 36 of them recited the pledge using sign language and this was followed by seven chants of Merdeka.
Enlivening the celebratory mood, the audience was treated to a performance of the theme song entitled 'Tekad Perpaduan, Penuhi Harapan' written by Affan Mazlan and composed by Datuk Mokhzani Ismail, while 1,500 schoolchildren from the Klang Valley made human formations, waving colourful flags in sync with the song.
For the unity and well-being segment, the audience was treated to a new rendition of the song 'Kurik Kundi' sung by several artistes namely Nadeera Zaini, representing the Malays in the peninsula, Suki Low (Chinese), Roshini Balachandran (Indians), Zizi Kirana (Sabahans) and Hazraniza Dollah (Sarawakians) signifying the unification of the people.
The focus then shifted to the performance of the Army's Motorcycle Acrobatics team - the Army Red Warrior - which featured a stunt by Sergeant Saidatul Husna Kamaruddin using a 250cc Kawasaki Scrambler with the 66 Royal Enfield motorcycles representing the country's 66 years of independence.
Cheers and applause rang out for the birthday girl who also received a standing ovation from the Royal Couple.
The challenge and agility segment highlighted the skills of the Royal Malaysia Police's elite squad the VAT 69 Commando Unit in performing a precision jump from a height of 4,000 metres, and succcesfully landing in front of the main tent despite the slippery road surface following the rain early this morning.
A special 'Gegar MADANI' performance was also enlivened by about 800 dancers and 600 school children moving to the beat and rhythm of 400 drummers of various ethnicities.
This year's National Day celebration parade featured contingents of Nationalism; Malaysia MADANI Unity; Economics; Banking; Telecommunications; Creative and Broadcasting Industries; National Sports; Welfare and National Security.
Leading the nationalism contingent was the Army Music Training Centre's (PUZIDA) band parade followed by 100 cadet officers of the Military Training Academy of Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM) carrying a 24.4 metre x 12.2 metre Jalur Gemilang, and a parade of 334 national flag bearers.
The Malaysia MADANI Unity contingent followed suit, consisting of 400 participants of various races and ethnicities in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak donning colourful traditional costumes. They were led by the National Unity Ministry deputy secretary-general Mohamad Sobri Mat Daud.
The economy contingent was represented by personnel of the various government-linked agencies (GLC), government-linked investment companies (GLIC) and leading corporate entities that play a role in driving the economy including Petronas, DRB HICOM and FGV Holdings Bhd.
The Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry paraded electric vehicle models such as Proton X90 Hybrid, Perodua Ativa Hybrid, GWM Ora Good Cat and Tesla Model Y Performance to reflect the government's commitment to developing the country's automotive industry including electric vehicles and components.
The characters from Malaysia's much-loved animated series including Mechamato, Ejen Ali, Boboiboy and Didi were in their element as they were part of the creative industry and broadcast contingent, while Agrobank participants paraded in 30 antique cars.
Athletes who have brought honour to the country in various international sporting events also took part in the historic parade.
As the parade contingents marched in front of the royal box, they were cheered on by the King and Queen who waved the Jalur Gemilang along with other honoured guests.
The Fire and Rescue Department featured a range of its assets and machinery including antiquated fire engines like the Dennis and Land Rover fire trucks that were used in the 1950s.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain led the national security contingent, followed by the Cavalry Unit along with senior officers riding on more than 50 horses of various breeds such as the Arabian, Warmblood and Polo, among others.
The Royal Couple also took out their mobile phones to record Razarudin in action as he rode by the royal box.
The Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) contingent which is the largest contingent, as usual, did not disappoint. More than 100 advanced military assets from the Army, Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) and Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) were showcased including a trailer carrying missiles and cannons and the Gempita and Adnan armoured vehicles.
Fifty assets of the MAF dominated the Putrajaya air space in a show led by RMAF such as the Sukhoi Su-30MKM, F/A-18D Hornet and BAE Hawk fighter jets; transport aircraft like the A400M and C130 Hercules as well as helicopters belonging to the Army and RMN.
The spectators were also wowed by the air formation of 25 helicopters showcasing the capabilities and preparedness of the national security forces.
The brave acts of the fighter pilots during the thrilling air show were also telecast live via Radio Television Malaysia (RTM)
The theme song, 'Malaysia MADANI' as well as 'Jalur Gemilang' were performed by rock band Bunkface, accompanied by the performers from the National Department for Culture and Arts, Prisons Department and Istana Budaya concluded the captivating National Day 2023 parade.
Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah dan Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah berkenan santuni secara spontan menyantuni rakyat yang hadir hampir 30 minit pada sambutan Hari Kebangsaan 2023 di Dataran Putrajaya, Putrajaya pagi tadi.

KUALA LUMPUR: An analyst from Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) today told the High Court here that fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low opened a Swiss bank account for his company, Good Star Ltd three months before the entity received US$700 million of 1Malaysia Development Berhad's (1MDB) funds in 2009.
Adam Ariff Mohd Roslan, 34, said Jho Low opened Good Star's bank account on June 11, 2009, and the company received US$700 million on Sept 30, 2009.
The 47th prosecution witness said according to the banking records, 1MDB instructed Deutsche Malaysia to make this transfer (US$700 million).
He said this when questioned by deputy public prosecutor Kamal Baharin Omar at Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's trial involving alleged misappropriation of RM2.3 billion of 1MDB funds.
However, Najib's counsel Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee said that the defence team maintained its objection over the admissibility of the document that the prosecution was relying on to prove Good Star's account opening.
Earlier, Adam Ariff testified that the RM2.28 billion that entered Najib's private bank accounts in 19 transactions from 2011 to 2014 could be traced back to funds raised and belonging to 1MDB and this was his findings after analysing 343 banking documents and records.
Reading out his July 2023 money trail report which gave a detailed analysis of the money that entered Najib's personal bank accounts, Adam Ariff said he had made the statements and analysis in the report in good faith and said these were based on information up to the date of the report that is believed to be reliable and accurate.
In his report, Adam Ariff also said he had no reason to believe that there are any material facts that were misleading or had been withheld from him.
Najib, 70, faces four charges of using his position to obtain bribes amounting to RM2.3 billion belonging to 1MDB and 21 charges of money laundering involving the same amount.
The trial before Judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah continues on Sept 18.

KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) will pay a total of RM40 billion in dividends to the government this year, which is RM5 billion more than the initial RM35 billion announced earlier.
Executive vice-president and group chief financial officer Liza Mustapha said the dividend payment was based on Petronas' affordability.
"It is a longer term projection in discussions we have with our shareholders. We take the long view (in our) discussions, not just for the next 12 months but let's say, further to 2030.
"(On the question of) whether what we spend on new business will affect dividend, actually I would like to put it the other way around, we orchestrate a top-down (approach) in capital allocation.
"We will put aside 20 per cent of our capital expenditure (capex) on an average basis for new business and investment to source new energy," she told reporters at the announcement of Petronas' first half of 2023 financial performance.
Meanwhile, Petronas president/group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz said the national oil company has to ensure that the security of energy supply using hydrocarbons continues.
"Energy demand will grow. The new (energy) system is not going to be ready within one or two years...we need to make sure that the (current) demand is serviced," he said, adding that the group needs to set aside "buffers" to continue its business as usual.

KUALA LUMPUR: Syarikat induk Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB), Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) akan mengaktifkan Pelan Kelangsungan Perniagaan (BCP), bagi memastikan meneruskan perkhidmatan makanan dalam penerbangan bagi laluan terpilih, bermula 1 Sept ini.
Dalam satu kenyataan hari ini, MAG berkata, pengaktifan itu dilakukan susulan penamatan kontraknya bersama penyedia perkhidmatan makanan sebelum ini, iaitu Brahim’s Food Services (BFS) pada 31 Ogos 2023.
MAG berkata, pengaktifan BCP juga menandakan berakhirnya perkongsian legasi bersama BFS, yang sebelum ini menyediakan perkhidmatan untuk beberapa laluan domestik dan antarabangsa terpilih dalam rangkaian MAB.
“Dalam tempoh peralihan ini, MAB akan menyediakan alternatif makanan dan minuman (F&B) dalam penerbangan, memastikan operasi yang lancar dan meminimakan potensi impak terhadap keselesaan dan pengalaman pengguna.
“Laluan lain pula akan terus diberikan perkhidmatan oleh penyedia sedia ada iaitu POS Aviation,” menurut kenyataan itu lagi.
MAG berkata, pihaknya sudah melakukan perancangan teliti untuk operasi catering sendiri di bawah seliaan MAB, melibatkan sumber pek makanan dan bekalan F&B dari pelbagai penyedia, termasuk operatour ruang istirahatnya, MAS Awana.
Sementara itu, katanya lagi, syarikat pengendali lapangan MAG, AeroDarat Services akan menguruskan proses memasukkan makakanan dalam penerbangan kepada pesawat terbabit.
Bagi proses fasilitasi, MAG berkata, sebuah pusat pengedaran sementara akan diwujudkan di KLIA, mengikut standard keselamatan Pihak Berkuasa Penerbangan Malaysia (CAAM) dan Kementerian Kesihatan.
Pada November lepas, MAG telah memperbaharui kontraknya dengan BFS selepas lesen sementara syarikat itu diluluskan oleh Suruhanjaya Penerbangan Malaysia (MACVOM).
“(Pembaharuan kontrak) itu bertujuan memastikan cadangan perniagaan kedua-dua pihak dapat memberi kelebihan kepada MAG fan BFS, di samping memberi keutamaan kepada kepentingan peniaga.
“Selepas melalui proses rundingan yang panjang dan menyeluruh, MAG telah menerima notis pemberhentian perkongsian pada 30 Jun 2023. MAG terus meneroka strategi yang pelbagai untuk memastikan kemampanan perniagaan, termasuk mengadakan perkongsian dengan penyedia F&B yang mempunyai reputasi tinggi.
“Ini menandakan komitmen kami dalam memastikan pengalaman pelanggan yang premium yang tinggi, serta perkhidmatan dalam penerbangan yang efisyen di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur, Terminal 1 (KUL).
“Kumpulan MAG juga kekal teguh dalam komitmennya untuk menyampaikan pengalaman pelanggan yang premium melalui pembekal perkhidmatan dan pembekalnya, dan terus dedikasi untuk memastikan pengalaman terbaik bagi pelanggannya,” menurut kenyataan itu lagi.

Wan berkata dia mula terjebak dengan dadah sejak berusia 18 tahun akibat pengaruh rakan-rakannya, selain stres kerana masalah keluarga.
Katanya, dia mahu pulang ke pangkuan keluarga dan menebus segala kesalahannya, serta mahu membuat mereka berasa bangga dengan perubahannya.
"Saya akan cuba juga menasihatkan kawan-kawan untuk jangan mengajak orang-orang macam kita (bekas banduan) yang berusaha untuk meninggalkan zaman silam ke arah yang tidak baik," katanya.
Sementara itu, seorang banduan dikenali sebagai Amir, 25, berkata dia mahu membantu keluarganya selepas ini dan mengambil tanggungjawab sebagai anak sulung daripada lima beradik.
Amir yang sepatutnya dibebaskan Oktober ini atas kesalahan mencuri motosikal, juga dilepaskan menerusi program tersebut hari ini.
Katanya, dia berazam untuk berubah dengan mencari pekerjaan serta berjanji menunjukkan tingkah laku baik apabila bergaul bersama masyarakat.
"Insya-Allah boleh (berubah ke arah kebaikan), tak mahu lagi terjebak dengan orang-orang jahat. Ini merupakan kesalahan ketujuh saya dan sudah keluar masuk penjara sejak umur 17 tahun, cukuplah," katanya yang sebelum ini pernah terlibat kes berkaitan dadah.
Seramai 29 banduan terlibat dalam PBSL hari ini dengan lapan daripadanya dijemput keluarga, 12 orang dihantar menjalani latihan kemahiran berbayar menerusi program tanggungjawab sosial korporat (CIS) dengan pihak industri, manakala sembilan lagi dihantar ke rumah perantaraan di Ipoh.

KUALA LUMPUR: Seorang penganalisis Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) memberitahu Mahkamah Tinggi di sini bahawa Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menerima RM2.3 bilion hasil 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) dalam empat fasa dari 2011 hingga 2014 melalui dua akaun peribadinya di AmIslamic Bank Berhad.
Adam Ariff Mohd Roslan, 34, berkata menurut analisisnya, jejak wang dana tersebut yang diterima oleh dua akaun bank peribadi (berakhir dengan nombor 694 dan 880) boleh dikesan dan dibahagikan kepada empat fasa iaitu fasa Good Star, fasa Aabar-BVI, fasa Tanore dan fasa beli balik opsyen antara 2011 dan 2014.
"Bagi fasa Good Star antara 23 Feb 2011 dan 14 Jun 2011, sejumlah RM60,629,839.43 daripada hasil yang dikreditkan ke dalam akaun 694 AmPrivate Banking - MR Najib di AmIslamic Bank, daripada akaun di Riyad Bank, Arab Saudi, boleh dikesan kepada terbitan bon Nota Jangka Sederhana Islam (IMTN) 1MDB pada 2009 dan pinjaman bertempoh bersindiketnya pada 2010.
"Untuk fasa Aabar-BVI antara 30 Okt 2012 dan 20 Nov 2012, sebanyak RM90,899,927.28 daripada hasil yang dikreditkan ke dalam akaun 694 Najib, daripada akaun di Standard Chartered Bank, Singapura, atas nama Blackstone Asia Real Estate Partners, didapati boleh dikesan kepada bon yang diterbitkan oleh 1MDB Energy (Langat) Ltd pada 2012," kata penganalisis itu, yang dipinjamkan ke pasukan petugas 1MDB Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) pada 2018.
Saksi pendakwaan ke-47 itu berkata demikian ketika membacakan pernyataan saksinya pada perbicaraan kes penyelewengan RM2.3 bilion dana 1MDB yang dihadapi bekas perdana menteri itu.
Saksi itu berkata bagi fasa Tanore antara 21 Mac 2013 dan 10 April 2013, sejumlah RM2,081,476,926.00 daripada hasil yang dikreditkan ke dalam akaun 694 Najib, daripada akaun di Falcon Private Bank, Singapura, yang atas nama Tanore Finance Corp, didapati boleh dikesan kepada bon yang diterbitkan oleh 1MDB Global Investment Ltd pada 2013.
Selain itu, Adam Ariff turut menjelaskan bahawa bagi fasa beli balik opsyen pada 23 Jun 2014, sejumlah RM4,093,500.00 daripada hasil dikreditkan ke dalam akaun 880 AmPrivate Banking - 1MY Najib di AmIslamic Bank, daripada akaun di DBS Bank, Singapura, atas nama Blackrock Commodities (Global) Ltd, boleh dikesan kepada hasil pinjaman US$250 juta 1MDB Energy Holdings Ltd pada 2014.
"Semasa fasa beli balik opsyen antara 23 Okt 2014 dan 19 Dis 2014, sejumlah RM45,837,485.70 daripada hasil yang dikreditkan ke dalam akaun 880 Najib daripada akaun di Bank Amicorp, Barbados, atas nama Vista Equity International Partners Limited, didapati sebahagiannya boleh dikesan kepada hasil pinjaman US$975 juta 1MDB Energy Holdings Ltd pada 2014," katanya.
Najib, 70, menghadapi empat pertuduhan menggunakan kedudukannya untuk mendapatkan rasuah berjumlah RM2.3 bilion milik 1MDB dan 21 pertuduhan pengubahan wang haram membabitkan jumlah yang sama.
Perbicaraan di hadapan Hakim Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah bersambung.
Gabonese military officers announce they have seized power

LIBREVILLE: A group of senior Gabonese military officers appeared on national television in the early hours of Wednesday and said they had taken power, minutes after the state election body announced President Ali Bongo had won a third term.
Appearing on television channel Gabon 24, the officers said they represented all security and defence forces in the Central African nation. They said the election results were cancelled, all borders closed until further notice and state institutions dissolved.
Loud sounds of gunfire could be heard in the capital Libreville, a Reuters reporter said, after the television appearance.
There was no immediate comment from the government of the OPEC-member nation. There were no immediate reports on the whereabouts of Bongo, who was last seen in public when he cast his vote in the election on Saturday.
"In the name of the Gabonese people ... we have decided to defend the peace by putting an end to the current regime," the officers said in a statement.
As one officer read the joint statement, around a dozen others stood silently behind him in military fatigues and berets.
The servicemen introduced themselves as members of The Committee of Transition and the Restoration of Institutions. The state institutions they declared dissolved included the government, the senate, the national assembly, the constitutional court and the election body.
If successful, the coup would represent the eighth in West and Central Africa since 2020. Coups in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Chad and Niger have undermined democratic progress in recent years.
Last month, the military snatched power in Niger, sending shockwaves across the Sahel and sucking in global powers with strategic interests at stake.
Tensions were running high in Gabon amid fears of unrest after Saturday's presidential, parliamentary, and legislative vote, which saw Bongo seeking to extend his family's 56-year grip on power while the opposition pushed for change in the oil and cocoa-rich but poverty-stricken nation.
A lack of international observers, the suspension of some foreign broadcasts, and the authorities' decision to cut internet service and impose a night-time curfew nationwide after the poll had raised concerns about the transparency of the electoral process.
Gabon foiled an attempted military coup in January 2019 after soldiers briefly seized the state radio station and broadcast a message saying Bongo, who had suffered a stroke months earlier, was no longer fit for office.
The situation was restored hours later after two of the suspected coup plotters were killed and others arrested.
IN POWER SINCE 2009
The Gabonese Election Centre said earlier on Wednesday Bongo won the election with 64.27% of the vote and that his main challenger, Albert Ondo Ossa, had come in second place with 30.77%.
Bongo, 64, who succeeded his father Omar as president in 2009, had contested against 18 challengers, six of whom backed Ondo Ossa in an effort to narrow the race.
The government has said the web blackout and curfew are necessary to prevent the spread of fake news and to protect public safety. Bongo's disputed 2016 election win provoked violent protests that saw the parliament building torched.
His team have rejected allegations of fraud by Ondo Ossa and his opposition alliance after a vote marred by numerous polling stations opening several hours late.
The alliance Alternance 2023 also reported other alleged irregularities including that ballot slips for its candidates had not been deployed correctly in some areas. Reuters could not independently verify the claim.
The European Union was not invited to observe this election. EU monitors previously questioned the validity of Bongo's narrow victory in the 2016 presidential vote.
On Monday, media watchdog Reporters without Borders (RSF) voiced concern about the internet block and Gabon's temporary suspension of broadcasts by French international news outlets RFI, France 24, and TV5 Monde.
"RSF denounces a series of attacks on press freedom and information pluralism, facts likely to compromise (the) general election's transparency," it said in an online post.
The opposition has disputed both of Bongo's previous electoral victories, citing fraud. He first came to power in a 2009 vote following the death of his father Omar Bongo before being re-elected in 2016.
Suspects back in court over Singapore's swoop on major money laundering ring Reuters Ogos 30, 2023 15:50 MYT A view of watches seized during a police raid, in Singapore. - Singapore Police Force via Facebook/Handout via REUTERS
SINGAPORE: Ten foreigners accused of involvement in a major money laundering operation in Singapore were set to appear in court on Wednesday, some facing new charges as the city-state seek to widen its net in one of its most high-profile crime cases.
More than S$1 billion ($739.64 million) of assets were seized in simultaneous raids two weeks ago, from gold bars, designer handbags and fistfuls of jewellery to scores of properties and luxury cars, a haul that shocked the wealthy state known for its low crime rates.
At least 10 foreigners aged between 31 and 44 were arrested, from Cyprus, Cambodia, Dominica, China, Turkey and Vanuatu, with police tying the seizures to overseas organised crime, including scams and online gambling.
Two Cambodians appeared via video link in early proceedings on Wednesday, the first, Chen Qingyuan, 33, who was remanded for eight more days and deemed a flight risk due to his multiple passports and assets overseas.
He faced new charges related to the seizure from him of three properties, more than S$6 million in six bank accounts, cryptocurrencies and a car worth over S$1 million.
The prosecution said those "directly or indirectly" came from unlawful offshore gambling offences. The second to appear was Su Wenqiang, 31, who was denied bail after prosecutors sought more time to pursue his suspected links to criminals overseas, some fugitives, and others with "considerable assets in Singapore".
Their lawyers sought bail but gave no indication of how the suspects would answer the money laundering allegations.
In all, 105 properties, bank accounts with S$110 million, 50 vehicles, S$23 million in cash, hundreds of luxury handbags and watches, and jewellery and two gold bars were seized in the Aug. 15 raids at nine locations.
Eight more suspects are wanted and 12 are assisting in investigations, police have said.

According to Fox News, among the victims of the aviation incident on Monday, one was a paramedic, Captain Terryson Jackson, while the other victim was a woman inside her apartment, as confirmed by two anonymous law enforcement sources.
Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony wrote on Facebook remembering Jackson as someone who "always provided expert care, compassion and reassurance to those during their most significant time of need."
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jackson family during this difficult time," Tony's statement read. "We would like to posthumously promote Captain Terryson Jackson to Battalion Chief."

Peguam Kanan Persekutuan Ahmad Hanir Hambaly yang mewakili AGC memberitahu Mahkamah Tinggi di sini bahawa permohonan Bersatu perlu ditolak kerana keputusan itu tidak tertakluk kepada semakan kehakiman menurut Perkara 63 Perlembagaan Persekutuan.
"Undang-undang antilompat seperti yang dinyatakan dalam Perkara 49 Perlembagaan Persekutuan tidak tertakluk kepada semakan kehakiman kerana Perkara 63 Perlembagaan," katanya ketika berhujah di hadapan Hakim Datuk Amarjeet Singh.
Perkara 63 menyatakan bahawa kesahan apa-apa prosiding di dalam mana-mana Majlis Parlimen atau dalam mana-mana jawatankuasanya tidak boleh dipersoalkan di dalam mahkamah.
Permohonan semakan kehakiman itu difailkan oleh Naib Presiden Bersatu Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee dan Datuk Kapten (B) Muhammad Suhaimi Yahya sebagai pegawai awam parti itu pada 17 April lepas.
Bersatu menamakan Johari dan empat Ahli Parlimen itu iaitu Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali (Papar), Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan (Batu Sapi), Datuk Jonathan Yasin (Ranau) dan Datuk Matbali Musah (Sipitang) sebagai responden pertama hingga kelima.
Sementara itu, peguam Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun yang mewakili Kiandee dan Muhammad Suhaimi berhujah bahawa permohonan semakan kehakiman itu perlu didengar kerana ia bukan suatu yang remeh dan menyusahkan.
"Speaker telah melampaui bidang kuasanya kerana beliau tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk mentafsir perlembagaan Bersatu atau membuat penentuan bila keanggotaan responden kedua hingga kelima dalam Bersatu terhenti.
"Penetapan speaker itu tidak rasional dan menyalahi undang-undang kerana ia menyalah tafsir peruntukan perlembagaan Bersatu dan sewajarnya adalah kesilapan undang-undang," kata bekas Speaker Dewan Rakyat.
Mahkamah menetapkan 16 Nov ini untuk keputusan permohonan itu.
Dalam permohonan itu, Bersatu memohon suatu perintah untuk membatalkan keputusan Johari melalui surat bertarikh 16 Jan lepas yang menyatakan responden kedua hingga kelima telah memberi penjelasan dan mengesahkan bahawa tiada berlakunya kekosongan kerusi Parlimen berkenaan berdasarkan tafsiran Perlembagaan Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) dan Perlembagaan Bersatu.
Bersatu juga memohon satu deklarasi bahawa empat ahli Parlimen itu telah berhenti menjadi ahli Dewan Rakyat mengikut Perkara 49A Perlembagaan Persekutuan, selain perintah supaya Johari mengesahkan berlakunya kekosongan luar jangka bagi semua kerusi Parlimen berkenaan.

SHAH ALAM: Sultan Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj bertitah, fitnah mengatakan lebih 200 buah sekolah tahfiz di Selangor telah diarahkan tutup amat dikesali dan tidak bertanggungjawab.
Baginda bertitah, fitnah sebegini secara tidak langsung merisaukan ibu bapa dan boleh menghakis kepercayaan orang ramai terhadap institusi agama dan pihak berkuasa agama khususnya di negeri ini.
“Baru-baru ini telah berlaku kekecohan tentang fitnah yang telah dilemparkan terhadap pihak berkuasa agama negeri Selangor dan pihak berkuasa tempatan (PBT) Selangor kononnya lebih daripada 200 buah sekolah tahfiz di Selangor telah diarahkan tutup yang mengakibatkan beribu pelajar tahfiz telah hilang tempat untuk belajar.
“Beta mahu mereka yang sering melemparkan fitnah dan tohmahan agar mendapatkan fakta tepat sebelum melontarkan sebarang tohmahan tidak berasas,” titah baginda.
Sultan Selangor merupakan Pengerusi Majlis Kebangsaan Bagi Hal Ehwal Agam Islam Malaysia (MKI) bertitah sempena Mesyuarat MKI Kali Ke-70 di Dewan Syarahan dan Muzakarah Islam Shah Alam, Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Shah Alam yang turut dihadiri Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Titah baginda lagi, golongan terbabit perlu segera memberhentikan perbuatan khianat dan tidak bertanggungjawab tersebut.
"Andai kata mereka meneruskan perbuatan fitnah dan khianat ini, beta mohon pihak polis segera mengesan kumpulan penfitnah ini dan mengambil tindakan undang-undang terhadap mereka.
"Pada hakikatnya beta telah menitahkan agar langkah pemutihan diambil terhadap sekolah-sekolah agama dan tahfiz swasta dan persendirian yang tidak berdaftar dengan mengarahkan pendaftaran dibuat bagi memastikan sekolah-sekolah ini adalah selamat dari segi ciri-ciri keselamatannya dan mempunyai suasana pembelajaran yang selesa untuk para pelajar menimba ilmu," titah baginda.
Berkenaan komitmen MKI dalam memperkasa pendidikan Islam, baginda bertitah, adalah merupakan manifestasi kepercayaan Majlis Raja-Raja untuk melihat tadbir urus Institusi Pendidikan Islam di Malaysia dapat diselaraskan dengan lebih baik dan teratur.
Baginda bertitah, dalam hubungan ini, adalah menjadi tanggungjawab semua pihak untuk memastikan institusi pendidikan itu berkualiti serta memenuhi aspirasi ibu bapa, masyarakat dan negara untuk melahirkan pelajar cemerlang di dunia dan di akhirat.
Dalam pada itu, Sultan Selangor turut menyeru kepada mana-mana Institusi tahfiz swasta dan persendirian yang belum berdaftar dengan pihak berkuasa agama Islam negeri agar segera melaksanakannya supaya bantuan dan peruntukan dapat disalurkan seperti mana yang diterima oleh institusi pendidikan Islam yang berdaftar.
“Beta juga mencadangkan agar pihak Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim) menyediakan kertas kerja bagi membuat dasar dan prosedur yang komprehensif bagi pendaftaran institusi-institusi tahfiz swasta dan persendirian untuk diguna pakai di setiap negeri,” titah baginda.

PUTRAJAYA: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will open bidding for special 'M__M' series vehicle registration number plates (NPI) through the JPJeBid system from 31 August to 4 September in conjunction with the 2023 National Day celebration.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the new series with an index mark flanked by an 'M' prefix and 'M' suffix reflected both the phrases 'Malaysia Merdeka' and 'Malaysia MADANI'.
"The NPI will be memorable and enliven the celebration of the 2023 National Day," he said in a press conference here today.
He said the bidding price in the JPJeBid system would start according to the minimum price that had been set, namely RM20,000 for a Golden number, RM3,000 (Attractive), RM800 (Popular) and RM300 for a running number.
"Any registration number that is successfully bid for must be registered on a vehicle within 12 months from the date the official letter confirming the bid is issued," he said, adding that the results for the bids on the 'M__M' series plates would be announced on Sept 5.
"If you buy number 1, it will be 'M1M'. The public is welcome to participate in the NPI bidding in conjunction with the 2023 National Day celebration," he said, adding that the bidding for 'FF' series previously recorded a profit of RM34 million.
Meanwhile, Loke said the Ministry of Transport (MOT) had introduced a video series dedicated to the 'unsung heroes' of the land, maritime and air sectors in conjunction with the 2023 National Day celebration.
"Every day, our transportation system is run by a group of employees whom we do not know. They handle every shipment, arrange flights and manage the carriages carefully so that goods and passengers arrive safely at their destination," he said.
The videos will be uploaded to official the Facebook, Instagram and TikTok accounts of Loke and the Ministry of Transport from Aug 28-30.
The 2023 National Day celebration with the theme 'Malaysia MADANI: Determination in Unity, Fulfilling Hope' will take place in Putrajaya on Aug 31.
This is the fifth time Putrajaya has been selected to host the National Day parade, with previous editions held in 2003, 2005, 2018 and 2019.
