Enam warga tempatan, 43 pendatang asing ditahan kerana memproses e-waste secara haram, dengan nilai rampasan RM41.6 juta. -PDRM




KUALA LUMPUR: Seramai enam warga tempatan dan 43 pendatang asing ditahan dalam operasi bersepadu ke atas enam premis di sekitar Pandamaran, Klang, pada 12 September lalu, kerana disyaki menjalankan aktiviti memproses sisa elektronik (e-waste) secara haram.

Pemangku Pengarah Jabatan Keselamatan Awam Dalam Negeri dan Ketenteraman Awam, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM), Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat dalam satu kenyataan pada Ahad berkata, pasukan serbuan turut menyita sejumlah barangan dan jentera dengan anggaran berjumlah RM41.6 juta.

Beliau berkata, kilang yang beroperasi tanpa lesen dan tidak berdaftar itu telah mengaut keuntungan jutaan ringgit dan dikesan menggaji warga asing sebagai pekerja.







“Dalam operasi bersepadu tersebut, pasukan serbuan telah melakukan pemeriksaan terhadap enam buah premis yang memproses barang logam, plastik dan e-waste.

“Hasil pemeriksaan mendapati terdapat pelbagai kesalahan termasuk kegagalan mengemukakan dokumen yang sah untuk menjalankan aktiviti pemprosesan di kawasan berkenaan.

“Pelupusan e-waste dan sisa plastik secara haram mengandungi bahan toksik boleh mengakibatkan komplikasi kesihatan yang serius kepada orang ramai yang terdedah dengan pencemaran ini,” katanya lagi.

Mohd Yusoff berkata, operasi bersepadu itu melibatkan Bahagian Risikan Utama, Wildlife Crime Bureau; bersama Pasukan Siasatan Jenayah Pengubahan Wang Haram Bukit Aman (AMLA); Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS) Selangor; Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST); Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN); dan Majlis Bandaraya Diraja Klang (MBDK).

Antara barangan dan jentera yang dirampas melibatkan 2,800 kg keluli antikarat, 83,700 kg aluminium, 12,000 kg besi dan besi pepejal, 103,000 kg plastik, 50 mesin memproses e-waste, 14 jentera pengangkut, lima kontena, serta dokumen berkaitan.

Mohd Yusoff berkata, kesemua tangkapan dan rampasan di bawah Akta Imigresen 1959/63 itu telah dibawa ke Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah Klang Selatan untuk tindakan selanjutnya.

“Kesalahan di bawah undang-undang kecil pelesenan tred, perniagaan dan perindustrian telah dikenakan kompaun oleh pihak MBDK untuk kesalahan menjalankan aktiviti memproses tanpa lesen.

“JAS Selangor turut bertindak menyita dan mengeluarkan kompaun di bawah Akta Kualiti Alam Sekeliling 1974 untuk kesalahan tiada sistem pengolahan efluen bagi aktiviti cucian plastik yang dihasilkan,” katanya lagi.

Bagi tempoh 1 Januari hingga 14 September tahun ini beliau berkata, 134 serbuan telah dijalankan dan 383 individu telah ditahan atas pelbagai kesalahan melibatkan penyeludupan barangan tidak berkastam, ketirisan barangan kawalan dan bersubsidi, penyeludupan hidupan liar dan operasi e-waste.

Keseluruhan nilai rampasan bagi tempoh yang dinyatakan, tambahnya lagi, dianggarkan berjumlah RM418,240,442.50.

Ringgit breaches 4.30 level against US dollar, hits 20-month high

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit breached the RM4.30 level today, hitting a 20-month high against the US dollar, as traders expect the United States Federal Reserve (Fed) to cut interest rates between 25 and 50 basis points, said an economist.

At 6 pm, the local note appreciated to 4.2975/3050 versus the greenback from yesterday's close of 4.3330/3370.

Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the ringgit performed favourably today, piercing its immediate support level of RM4.3259 and the next support level is located at RM4.2128.

"The market appears to be expecting a Fed rate cut of between 25 and 50 basis points. Judging from the interest futures contract, it seems that the Fed might be inclined to deliver a 50 basis points reduction which would bring the Fed Fund Rate from 5.50 per cent to 5.00 per cent.

"This would effectively narrow the gap with Malaysia's 3.00 per cent overnight policy rate," he told Bernama.

Meanwhile, SPI Asset Management managing director Stephen Innes said the ringgit strengthened as markets edge closer to the Fed's much-anticipated rate cut, riding the wave of a broadly weaker dollar.

"The chances of a more aggressive move by the Fed next week have increased, driven by cooling inflation trends and former New York Fed president Bill Dudley who suggested that now is the time for the Fed to shift from a data-dependent stance to a more forward-looking approach.

"This shift in sentiment has pushed the odds of a 50 basis points cut higher, prompting a sell-off in the dollar, which in turn has benefited regional currencies like the ringgit," he said.

At the close, the ringgit was traded mostly higher against a basket of major currencies.

It edged up versus the euro to 4.7664/7747 from 4.7724/7768 at Thursday's close, gained against the British pound to 5.6439/6538 from 5.6550/6602 previously, but weakened vis-a-vis the Japanese yen to 3.0570/0625 from 3.0364/0395.

The ringgit also traded mostly higher against ASEAN currencies.

It improved vis-a-vis the Singapore dollar to 3.3098/3159 from 3.3190/3224 yesterday, rose against the Indonesian rupiah to 278.9/279.6 from 280.6/281.0, and increased against the Philippine peso to 7.67/7.69 from 7.71/7.73, but fell versus the Thai baht to 12.8907/9190 from 12.8351/8527 previously.

PUTRAJAYA: Jabatan Imigresen (JIM) menahan 16 pendatang tanpa izin dalam operasi di sebuah premis diubah suai menjadi pusat hiburan haram di Puchong, Selangor, semalam.

Ketua Pengarah Imigresen Datuk Ruslin Jusoh berkata mereka yang berusia antara 25 dan 47 tahun itu terdiri daripada 13 lelaki warga Nigeria, dua wanita warga Thailand dan seorang lelaki Uganda.

"Kesemua yang tidak memiliki sebarang dokumen atau pas yang sah untuk berada di negara ini dibawa ke Depot Tahanan Imigresen Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur untuk siasatan di bawah Seksyen 6(1)(c) Akta Imigresen 1959/63," katanya dalam kenyataan hari ini.







Beliau berkata modus operandi premis itu ialah menyediakan hiburan dan minuman keras kepada pelanggan malah terdapat segelintir pelanggan membawa gadis warga asing sebagai pelayan.

Premis itu, katanya dipercayai menjadi tumpuan warga Afrika untuk berhibur kerana beroperasi mulai 7 malam hingga 2 pagi tanpa sebarang gangguan.

Ruslin berkata semasa serbuan terdapat pelanggan yang berada di bawah pengaruh alkohol cuba melakukan provokasi dengan menjerit memarahi serta cuba melarikan diri dengan merempuh anggota operasi, namun berjaya disekat.

"Operasi ini dijalankan hasil maklumat risikan selama dua minggu selepas menerima aduan daripada orang awam berhubung tindakan warga asing membuat bising hingga mengganggu ketenteraman awam di kawasan kejiranan berhampiran," katanya.

Pengerusi Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (MAIS) Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof berkata ia bagi memastikan tiada perkara bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam yang sebenar disebarkan di rumah amal dan sekolah agama. - Gambar fail/BERNAMA

SHAH ALAM: Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS) telah diarah melakukan siasatan segera ke atas semua rumah amal dan sekolah di negeri itu yang mempunyai kaitan dengan Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holding (GISBH) serta rangkaiannya.

Pengerusi Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (MAIS) Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof berkata ia bagi memastikan tiada perkara bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam yang sebenar disebarkan di rumah amal dan sekolah agama.

"Jika didapati terdapat rumah amal dan sekolah agama terlibat dengan ajaran yang menyeleweng daripada Islam maka penguatkuasaan serta pendakwaan di bawah Enakmen Jenayah Syariah (Selangor) 1995 hendaklah dibuat dengan kadar segera.

"Selain itu, sekolah yang telah dikenal pasti terlibat dengan kesalahan jenayah dan penyebaran ajaran yang menyeleweng daripada agama Islam juga hendaklah dibatalkan pendaftarannya di bawah Enakmen Pengawalan Sekolah-Sekolah Agama Islam 1988," menurutnya dalam kenyataan hari ini.

Beliau berkata pihaknya mengambil serius dakwaan penglibatan sekolah agama di Selangor dalam kesalahan jenayah dan penyebaran ajaran yang menyeleweng daripada Islam.

"MAIS juga memberi arahan tegas untuk memastikan sekolah yang terlibat ditutup dan dibatalkan pendaftarannya," katanya.

Mengulas lanjut, Abdul Aziz berkata GISBH dikaitkan dengan ajaran dan fahaman Kumpulan Al-Arqam yang telah diharamkan di Selangor melalui pewartaan tiga fatwa pada 4 Feb 1993, 11 Ogos 1994 dan 2 Dis 2006.

"Pengharaman ajaran dan fahaman Kumpulan Al-Arqam menurut fatwa-fatwa tersebut termasuk mana-mana cabang atau ajaran lain yang mempunyai persamaan dengan ajaran dan fahaman itu," katanya.

Susulan itu, beliau menasihati semua umat Islam di Selangor supaya sentiasa berwaspada dan cakna dengan ajaran atau fahaman yang telah difatwakan sebagai menyeleweng daripada ajaran sebenar.

"Ini untuk mengelak daripada terjerumus atau terlibat dengan ajaran tersebut kerana ia merupakan suatu kesalahan di bawah perenggan 12(c) Enakmen Jenayah Syariah (Selangor) 1995.

"Di samping itu, MAIS menyeru orang ramai untuk memberi maklumat kepada Polis Diraja Malaysia atau JAIS bagi memastikan siasatan yang terperinci berhubung dengan GISBH dapat dilakukan dan tindakan penguatkuasaan dapat diambil mengikut peruntukan undang-undang," katanya.

It was revealed during Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's criminal trial for misappropriating 1MDB funds that Aabar Investments PJS Ltd was a fake entity set up by fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho in Seychelles. - Filepic

KUALA LUMPUR: A financial fraud investigator told the High Court here today that his investigation revealed that 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) had paid only US$2.2 billion to Aabar Investments PJS Ltd, contrary to 1MDB's claim of US$3.5 billion.

However, United Kingdom based investigator Richard Templeman admitted that he did not raise the issue on the US$1 billion discrepancy to the plaintiff (1MDB) before the start of the trial nor mentioned it in his witness statement.

Templeman said this while testifying as the plaintiff's first witness in the US$6.59 billion civil lawsuit filed by 1MDB against its former president and chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandasamy and former treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah.

It was revealed during Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's criminal trial for misappropriating 1MDB funds that Aabar Investments PJS Ltd was a fake entity set up by fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low in Seychelles.

When pressed by Mohd Irwan's counsel Lavinia Kumaraendran on the failure on his part to inform the plaintiff, Templeman stated that he gave his evidence independently and disagreed with Lavinia's suggestion that he had failed in his duty to inform the court about the discrepancy.

Lavinia: Your investigation arrived at US$2.2 billion and not US$3.5 billion as stated in the 1MDB's suit?

Templeman: I can confirm it's US$2.2 billion.

Lavinia: You were given the statement of claim. In perusing the statement of claim, you knew that the sums claimed were incorrect, didn't you tell the lawyers of 1MDB?

Templeman: I did not.

In May 2021, 1MDB filed a lawsuit against Mohd Irwan and Arul Kanda over an alleged breach of trust and conspiracy that resulted in US$1.83 billion in losses related to the company's investment in 1MDB-Petrosaudi Ltd, which was later converted into the Brazen Sky Limited investment, said to be recoverable from the Bridge Global Fund.

1MDB also alleged that both defendants committed breach of trust and conspiracy by misappropriating US$3.5 billion in company funds paid to Aabar Investments and US$1.265 billion paid to International Petroleum Investment Company on May 9, 2017.

1MDB is seeking US$6.59 billion in damages from both defendants for these violations and an additional RM2.9 million from Mohd Irwan related to the extension of employment agreement.

The trial before Judicial Commissioner Datuk Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin Shah Raja Mohzan continues on Sept 17.

KUALA LUMPUR: Kontroversi pensijilan halal yang berlaku baru-baru ini adalah atas sebab salah faham daripada pelbagai pihak.

Naib Presiden DAP Teresa Kok berkata oleh itu, beliau menyerahkan kepada pihak Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) untuk memberi penjelasan mengenai isu itu.

Dalam catatan di akaun Facebook miliknya, Teresa berkata, beliau berjumpa dengan Timbalan Ketua Pengarah JAKIM, Datuk Sirajuddin Suhaimee serta Pengarah Sekretariat Majlis Halal Malaysia JAKIM, Mohamad Zamri Mohamed Shapik ketika menghadiri mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pilihan Khas Kewangan dan Ekonomi di Parlimen pada Khamis.







"Sirajuddin berkata mereka datang ke Parlimen selepas memberi keterangan kepada pegawai polis di Bukit Aman.

"Ini berkenaan kontroversi pensijilan halal yang melibatkan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Hal Ehwal Agama), Datuk Mohd Na'im Mokhtar dan saya.

"Oleh itu saya rasa adalah lebih baik JAKIM memberi penjelasan mengenai isu ini," katanya.

Khamis lalu, Mohd Na'im berkata, JAKIM mengkaji cadangan untuk mewajibkan restoran dan syarikat makanan memiliki sijil halal.

Sehari kemudian Teresa mendakwa, pensijilan halal seharusnya bersifat sukarela bagi membolehkan pengusaha membuat keputusan berdasarkan permintaan pasaran, bukan dilaksanakan secara paksa.

Beliau dipetik mendakwa, cadangan mewajibkan restoran dan syarikat makanan memiliki sijil halal hanya akan menambah kesukaran operasi perniagaan serta beban kepada perniagaan kecil.

Kenyataan itu mendapat kecaman daripada pelbagai pihak termasuk pemimpin UMNO, pembangkang dan pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO), termasuk Dewan Perniagaan Melayu Malaysia.

POP megastar Taylor Swift took home seven trophies on Wednesday at MTV's Video Music Awards, tying her with Beyonce for the most lifetime honors in the 40-year history of the video accolades.

Swift snagged the top prize, video of the year, for her bleak, black-and-white video "Fortnight" featuring Post Malone.

It shows Swift inside a bare psychiatric hospital, a setting she said reflected what she was seeing in her head as she wrote the music for "The Tortured Poets Department" album.

"This video seems very sad when you watch it, but it actually was the most fun video to make," Swift said as she accepted the VMAs Moon Person statuette.

After each take, she would hear a cheer from someone across the studio. "That one person was my boyfriend Travis," she said, referring to Kansas City Chiefs football player Travis Kelce.

"Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic," she said. "I want to thank him for adding that to this shoot."

Swift also thanked her fans for voting for the VMA honors and urged them to cast their ballots in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. The singer endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris in an Instagram post on Tuesday, but she did not mention the candidate by name on Wednesday.

By night's end, the 34-year-old Swift brought her career VMA total to 30, on par with hip-hop artist Beyonce. Swift's other awards on Wednesday included artist of the year and song of summer.

Her video of the year award was her third in a row - following an extended version of "All Too Well" in 2022 and "Anti-Hero" in 2023 - and fifth overall, a record for one artist.

Early in the show, when "Fortnight" won best collaboration, Swift praised Malone as "ridiculously talented" and "unfailingly polite."

"It has taken me forever to get him to stop calling me ma'am," she said next to Malone on stage at the UBS Arena outside New York City.

Malone returned the compliments, calling Swift "absolutely one of the most kind and talented people I've ever had the honor of knowing."

He said he watched Swift direct the "Fortnight" video while she was strapped to an operating room table on the set. "It was pretty bad ass," he said.

The VMAs began airing on MTV PARA.O in 1984 and became known for memorable moments, like an onstage kiss between Madonna and Britney Spears, and the raw meat dress that Lady Gaga once wore on the red carpet.

At Wednesday's awards, "Good Luck, Babe" singer Chappell Roan was named best new artist. Wearing a metallic outfit and headpiece, she dedicated her award to "all the drag artists who inspire me" and to her fans in the gay community.

"For all the queer kids in the Midwest watching right now, I see you, I understand you, because I am one of you," she said. "Don't let anyone tell you can't be exactly who you want to be, bitch!"

Blackpink singer Lisa won best K-pop video for her solo hit, "Rockstar." South African artist Tyla claimed the Afrobeats award for "Water," and Brazilian singer Anitta snagged best Latin video for "Mil Veces."

Rapper Eminem opened the show with "Houdini" from album "The Death of Slim Shady" before country singer Jelly Roll joined him via a video feed for their hit "Somebody Save Me."

Katy Perry, recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, sang hits from "Teenage Dream" to "Firework" while wearing giant silver butterfly wings on a futuristic set. Her husband, actor Orlando Bloom, handed her the trophy, and she embraced him with a long kiss.

"Thank you to MTV for believing in my weirdness from day one," Perry said.

The school bus driver who went viral for calling a young girl his "crush" was charged again today in the Sessions Court for posting offensive comments on a TikTok video last week.- BERNAMA

BATU PAHAT: A school bus driver who went viral for referring to a young girl he was transporting as his 'crush' was charged again today, this time at the Sessions Court here, for allegedly posting an offensive comment in a TikTok video uploaded last week.

The 24-year-old man pleaded not guilty after the charge was read before Judge Osman Affendi Mohd Shalleh.

According to the charge, he is accused of knowingly making and initiating the transmission of an offensive comment in a video showing a nine-year-old girl with the caption "Harini crush busy buat homework" (today my crush is busy doing homework) followed by a 'love' emoji while observing the child, on Sept 5 at Taman Budiman, Parit Raja here.

The charge was framed under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, punishable under Section 233(3) of the same Act, which carries a fine not exceeding RM50,000 or imprisonment of up to one year, or both, and can be fined an additional RM1,000 for each day the offence continues after conviction.

Deputy public prosecutor Nurizzati Rozman appeared for the prosecution while the accused was represented by lawyer Umar Zulkarnain.

Judge Osman Affendi allowed bail at RM10,000 with one surety, with additional conditions that the accused must report himself to the nearest police station once a month and to refrain from disturbing the victim and prosecution witnesses.

The court also allowed the prosecution's application to transfer the case to the Muar Sessions Court as he is also facing charges there and set Oct 10 for the submission of documents and the next mention of the case.

On Tuesday, the accused was charged at the Muar Sessions Court with two counts of physical and non-physical sexual assault against children under Sections 14(a) and 15(a)(iii) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.

On Sept 5, a social media user shared a screenshot of a school bus driver's TikTok post, where he referred to a female student as his 'crush' and 'favourite'.

In response, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri instructed officials from the Child Development Department to file a police report against the bus driver.

The man was subsequently arrested on Sept 6.

Singapore Airlines flight grounded at Hong Kong airport due to technical issue, passengers stranded on tarmac for four hours

Singapore Airlines flight grounded at Hong Kong airport due to technical issue, passengers stranded on tarmac for four hours

Malay Mail

SINGAPORE, Sept 11 — Passengers aboard Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight SQ893 were stranded on the tarmac of Hong Kong International Airport for about four hours on September 10 (Wednesday) due to a technical issue.

The flight, SQ893, which was scheduled to depart at 3.40pm for Singapore, was eventually cancelled after multiple attempts to resolve the problem with passengers disembarking later at 8pm, according to a report published in The Straits Times today.

A 59-year-old passenger by the name of Tan shared that the captain informed everyone early in the afternoon about the issue and that engineers were conducting checks.

While passengers remained calm, there was a brief moment when the cabin lights and air-conditioning went out, making it “warm and stuffy.” Passengers were provided with juice and water during the wait.

By 7.30pm, passengers were informed of the flight’s cancellation and began disembarking shortly after 8pm.

Tan was rebooked on a Cathay Pacific flight, set to depart at 1.40am the following morning.

An SIA spokesperson confirmed the technical fault and stated that all passengers and crew disembarked safely after the flight was cancelled.

SIA will assist in re-accommodating affected customers on alternative flights. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. The safety of our customers and crew is always our top priority,” the spokesperson added.

Otter attack in Malaysia leaves woman bloodied and unable to stand


A woman was left bloodied and unable to stand after a vicious otter attack in a Malaysian park.

Mariasella Harun, in her 30s, was ambushed by the animals while jogging in Perdana Park, Sabah.

Photos show Harun weeping on a kerb following the attack, with deep gashes visible on her legs. CCTV footage captured the otters rushing towards the park moments before the incident.

Two other joggers who attempted to help were also caught up in the bloody assault.

Harun, a regular park-goer, entered at 6.10am on Wednesday. She recounted: "Suddenly, I saw something emerging from the drain next to KGC [Kinabalu Golf Club]. The creature jumped out and bit me while I was running, and there were many of them. I could not even stand up when it happened."

This is the first recorded otter attack on a human in the area. Harun was rushed to hospital for treatment.

Roland Niun, director of the Sabah Wildlife Department, said: “Otters generally avoid humans, and their perceived cuteness might lead some to mistakenly believe they are friendly and tame.

“Although there are reports of otters being domesticated in other parts of the state, it is not advisable to approach them, as they can bite when provoked.

“In this case, the family of otters might have seen the victim as a threat to their cubs and reacted defensively.”

A family of otters, comprising six adults and two cubs, are frequently spotted in the park hunting for fish in the lake. They typically visit during morning and evening hours before leaving the popular family area.

Otter attacks on humans are quite rare but can happen, especially when otters feel threatened or are protecting their young. Typically, otters are shy and avoid human contact, but if they’re provoked, cornered, or defending a den, they can become aggressive.

Hina Sultan Kedah, lelaki dipenjara sebulan, denda

Hina Sultan Kedah, lelaki dipenjara sebulan, denda


ASTRO AWANI

Tertuduh Nor Ismail Amran Ghazilah (tengah) ketika di Mahkamah Majistret Sungai Petani hari ini.

SUNGAI PETANI: Seorang penganggur dijatuhi hukuman penjara sebulan dan denda RM4,000 selepas mengaku bersalah di Mahkamah Majistret di sini pada Khamis kerana membuat hantaran berupa hasutan terhadap institusi diraja di TikTok miliknya pada Julai lalu.

Majistret, M Kalaiarasi juga memerintahkan Nor Ismail Amran Ghazilah, 42, dipenjara lapan bulan jika gagal menjelaskan denda.

Lelaki itu didakwa menerbitkan penerbitan menghasut melalui aplikasi TikTok iaitu: "Negeri Kedah curi hasil negeri lain-lain.. Sultan Kedah pencuri sebenar ketika itu, saya cabar seluruh Istana Anak Bukit dan mencabar Sultan Kedah".







Tertuduh yang berasal dari Kuala Lumpur itu didakwa melakukan kesalahan di Pekan Sungai Petani pada jam 10 malam 6 Julai lalu.

Pertuduhan dibuat mengikut Seksyen 4(1)(c) Akta Hasutan 1948 dan boleh dihukum di bawah Seksyen akta yang sama yang jika sabit kesalahan boleh dikenakan denda tidak melebihi RM5,000 atau penjara tidak melebihi tiga tahun atau kedua-duanya.

Terdahulu, Nor Ismail merayu agar hukuman diringankan dan memberitahu mahkamah bahawa dia tidak bermaksud untuk menghasut kerana tidak membuat ucapan dan hanya menulis di Tik Tok sahaja.

"Saya tak sangka ada orang nak buat 'report' (laporan polis)," katanya.

Dalam rayuan yang sama, tertuduh turut memohon mahkamah menghalang media membuat liputan kes berkenaan.

"Saya mohon mahkamah tak benarkan media cover (membuat liputan), kes saya tak besar.

"Tadi saya pergi tandas ada media ambil gambar, mohon mahkamah halang media," katanya yang turut diwakili peguam dari Yayasan Bantuan Guaman Kebangsaan (YBGK), Farahdina Che Bakar.

Farahdina kemudian turut memohon mahkamah mengenakan hukuman yang ringan terhadap tertuduh memandangkan ia merupakan kesalahan pertama dan sudah menyesal atas perbuatannya.

Katanya, tertuduh yang sebelum ini bekerja sebagai pekerja kontrak sudah lapan bulan tidak bekerja dan tinggal bersama ibu yang sudah tua.

Bagaimanapun, Timbalan Pendakwa Raya, S. Preeya memohon hukuman penjara yang setimpal kerana membabitkan hasutan terhadap institusi diraja selain memberi pengajaran kepada tertuduh agar lebih berhati-hati menggunakan media sosial serta memberi pengajaran kepada orang awam.

Selepas hukuman dibacakan, Majistret menjelaskan mahkamah tidak dapat menghalang pemberita membuat liputan kes itu kerana itu merupakan kebebasan media.

SHAH ALAM: Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) menyita 21 kenderaan pelbagai guna (MPV) mewah yang digunakan bagi menjalankan khidmat kereta sapu menerusi Operasi Khas Kenderaan Sapu yang dijalankan di sekitar Lembah Klang pada 2 hingga 6 Sept lepas.

Ketua Pengarah JPJ Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli berkata operasi julung kali itu diadakan bagi membanteras kegiatan 'ulat teksi sapu mewah' yang dikesan menjadikan pelancong asing yang menginap di hotel lima bintang serta kawasan pelancongan di Lembah Klang sebagai sasaran.

"Kami banyak menerima aduan mengenai kegiatan ini dan siasatan mendapati modus operandi ulat teksi sapu mewah ini menggunakan aplikasi khas dan bantuan orang tengah dalam menjayakan misi mengaut keuntungan secara tidak bertanggungjawab.







"Dengan bermodalkan MPV mewah, ada antara mereka mengenakan bayaran tidak masuk akal seperti caj hingga SGD$300 (RM997.17) bagi perjalanan Kuala Lumpur ke Singapura berbanding caj biasa RM300," katanya pada sidang media selepas melakukan lawatan kerja ke Pejabat JPJ Negeri Selangor di sini hari ini.

Hadir sama Pengarah JPJ Selangor Azrin Borhan.

Aedy Fadly berkata selain menyita MPV mewah antaranya Toyota Alphard, Hyundai Starex, Staria serta Innova, JPJ turut mengeluarkan 45 notis saman terhadap pemilik kenderaan sapu mewah tersebut atas pelbagai kesalahan seperti salah guna lesen kenderaan, tiada lesen memandu kompeten (CDL) dan CDL tamat tempoh.

Beliau berkata rata-rata pemandu kenderaan tersebut merupakan warga tempatan berusia 30-an yang didapati menyalahgunakan Lesen Kenderaan Motor (LKM) iaitu kenderaan persendirian dijadikan sebagai kenderaan perkhidmatan awam (KPA).

Beliau berkata kes disiasat mengikut Seksyen 23 (2) Akta Pengangkutan Jalan 1987 yang memperuntukkan denda hingga RM10,000 atau penjara tidak melebihi dua tahun atau kedua-duanya sekali.

Dalam pada itu, Aedy Fadly berkata selepas menumpukan operasi di laluan masuk utama negara seperti Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) dan klia2 serta Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Langkawi, Kedah, pihaknya kini menetapkan fokus untuk membanteras aktiviti kenderaan sapu di lokasi tumpuan pelancong seperti hotel mewah serta kawasan pelancongan di seluruh negara.

"Kita akan atur gerak kerja dari segi dapatkan kerjasama semua pihak termasuk persatuan pelancongan, dengan matlamat untuk kita kembangkan operasi sama di seluruh negara selepas ini," katanya.

SHAH ALAM: Pengarah dan Ketua Cawangan Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) negeri berdepan tindakan tegas sekiranya membiarkan kaunter perkhidmatan tidak dibuka sebagaimana sepatutnya atau tidak berada di bawah pengawasan sewajarnya.

Ketua Pengarah JPJ Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli berkata perkhidmatan kaunter yang efisien amat ditekankan memandangkan fokus utama jabatan di bawah kendaliannya adalah untuk menambah baik sistem penyampaian kepada orang ramai.

"Fokus kita ketika ini adalah perkhidmatan di kaunter dan perkara ini turut ditegaskan Ketua Setiausaha Negara Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar yang mahu setiap kaunter seharusnya tidak dibiarkan tanpa pengawasan atau daripada lima yang ada, hanya dua kaunter dibuka.







"Jadi, mana-mana Pengarah Negeri dan KC tidak menjalankan tugas dengan baik dan kaunter tidak dibuka, mereka akan diambil tindakan," katanya ketika berucap pada majlis Amanat Ketua Pengarah Pengangkutan sempena lawatan kerja ke JPJ Selangor di sini hari ini.

Hadir sama Pengarah JPJ Selangor Azrin Borhan.

Aedy Fadly berkata sebagai jabatan kerajaan yang sudah berusia 78 tahun, anggota dan pegawai JPJ sepatutnya sudah matang dan memahami kehendak serta keperluan orang awam apabila berurusan di kaunter.

Beliau berkata bagi memastikan perkhidmatan kaunter berada di tahap terbaik, beliau bersama pengarah dari Ibu Pejabat di Putrajaya akan melakukan lawatan mengejut melalui penyamaran bagi melihat sendiri penugasan kakitangan di semua cawangan JPJ seluruh negara.

"Lepas ini, mungkin saya akan turun pakai topi, berkaca mata dan berseluar jean lawat (JPJ setiap negeri). Saya juga mungkin hantar pengarah-pengarah di Ibu Pejabat sebab kalau saya kerap turun mungkin orang kenal," katanya.

Aedy Fadly yang dilantik mengetuai JPJ pada 23 Julai lepas mengakui berpuas hati dengan tindakan segera oleh semua JPJ negeri dalam melaksanakan inisiatif dan penambahbaikan diperkenalkan olehnya serta pengurusan tertinggi lain.

Beliau berkata antara inisiatif segera dilakukan dan mendapat respons baik JPJ negeri adalah menyediakan pegawai pemudah cara dikenali JPJ Assist berperanan membantu dan menyantuni pelanggan yang mendapatkan perkhidmatan di jabatan tersebut.

"Kita juga akan memperhebatkan hebahan mengenai 38 perkhidmatan atau urus niaga dalam talian disediakan JPJ yang ketika ini kurang disedari umum, yang kita yakin boleh mengurangkan bilangan orang awam datang ke kaunter sekali gus mengurangkan kesesakan pelanggan serta masa menunggu," katanya.

Police confirmed former national rider Elly Idzlianizar died as a result of being slashed and stabbed

Police confirmed former national rider Elly Idzlianizar died as a result of being slashed and stabbed

The police showed the car believed to be in the victim's car at the time of the incident.

KANGAR: Police confirmed the death of former Moto 3 and National Cup Prix rider, Elly Idzlianizar Elias, 40, due to severe injuries from being slashed and stabbed after being involved in a fight in Kangar in an incident between 9 and 10 pm last Tuesday.

In that incident, the victim is believed to have gone to the house of a 51-year-old man in Taman Behor Gonchar Jaya, Jalan Dato Ali, Kangar in a state of anger before a fight broke out.

Kangar District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Yusharifuddin Mohd Yusop said, his party received information at around 11.13pm that there had been a fight at the housing estate.







"Based on the information we received, there was a fight involving four individuals, including the victim, at the entrance to the intersection of Taman Behor Gonchar Jaya.

"When the police arrived at the scene, it was found that the victim and three other individuals involved in the fight had already been taken to Tuanku Fauziah Hospital, Kangar to receive treatment.

"However, the victim (Elly Idzlianizar) died at around 12.30 midnight yesterday (Wednesday) as a result of suffering serious injuries to several parts of the body and hands believed to have been cut with a sharp weapon," he said at a press conference at the Kangar District Police Headquarters (IPD) , here on Thursday

He said, following that, police from the Kangar IPD Criminal Investigation Division assisted by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Perlis Police Contingent Headquarters arrested three men aged between 28 and 51 who were believed to be involved in the fight at several separate locations around Kangar.

"During the arrest, we also seized a mobile phone, a digital video recorder and a 112-centimeter (cm) samurai sword believed to have been used in the fight.

"Further investigation found that the victim died due to around 10 to 12 cuts on the body where one cut on the right hand, three on the left hand and seven to eight cuts on the back of the victim's body.

"In fact, the post-mortem results conducted at the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, Alor Setar also found that the victim died due to severe bleeding, including the blood vessel in the victim's hand that was severely injured, causing death," he said.

He said that the initial police investigation found that the incident started when the victim tried to find the 51-year-old main suspect at his residence in the housing estate.

"The victim arrived at the suspect's house in a blue Proton Iriz car, but the suspect was not at home and only his son and wife were there.

"The victim left but ran into the suspect at the entrance of the housing estate intersection and a fight broke out involving two other men including the first suspect's 31-year-old son.

"We understand that the victim and the suspect know each other and often deal with each other about things that are not necessary, leading to such a fight. However, so far, the motive and cause of the fight is still being investigated," he said.

Yusharifuddin said that his party also investigated whether there were elements of secret societies and gangsterism in the fight because the suspect had various past criminal records.

"From the urine test screening conducted, only the main suspect tested positive for drugs and had nine previous criminal records involving attempted murder and drugs.

"The second suspect is 28 years old and works as a laborer in Arau and has 12 criminal records involving various crimes and drugs while the third suspect who is 31 years old and is also the suspect's son has five past records involving various crimes and drugs," he said.

The suspect is now remanded until September 17 to assist in the investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code while Manga's body was safely buried at the Utan Aji Cemetery, Kangar yesterday.

Allhayarham Elly Idzlianizar Elias is well known as a very talented racer where he started making a name for himself in the local Cub Prix racing arena.

The deceased also successfully won several championships with various manufacturers including Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki until he was selected to participate in the country's 'wildcard' rider search program to compete in the Malaysian Grand Prix in 2009.

Lelaki berumur 46 tahun itu membuat pengakuan bersalah selepas enam pertuduhan terhadapnya dibacakan di hadapan Hakim Zulkifli Abllah. 

KOTA BHARU: Seorang buruh hari ini dihukum penjara 72 tahun dan 60 sebatan oleh Mahkamah Sesyen di sini setelah mengaku bersalah merogol anak kandungnya sehingga melahirkan anak, tahun lepas.

Lelaki berumur 46 tahun itu membuat pengakuan bersalah selepas enam pertuduhan terhadapnya dibacakan di hadapan Hakim Zulkifli Abllah.

Dia didakwa merogol anak kandungnya berusia 15 tahun ketika kejadian dan perbuatan itu dilakukan di sebuah rumah di Manek Urai, Kuala Krai, kira-kira 1 hingga 10 pagi antara Januari hingga Oktober 2023.

Tertuduh didakwa mengikut Seksyen 376(3) Kanun Keseksaan yang memperuntukkan hukuman penjara hingga 30 tahun dan 10 sebatan, jika sabit kesalahan.

Pendakwaan dikendalikan Timbalan Pendakwa Raya Kamarul Hasyime Rosli manakala tertuduh tidak diwakili peguam.

Terdahulu, Kamarul Hasyime memohon hukuman setimpal dikenakan supaya memberi pengajaran kepada tertuduh memandangkan mangsa ialah anak kandungnya.

Tertuduh dalam rayuannya memohon hukuman ringan memandangkan anak-anaknya masih kecil dan memerlukan kasih sayang seorang bapa.

Mahkamah menjatuhkan hukuman penjara 12 tahun dan 10 sebatan bagi setiap pertuduhan dan hukuman berjalan berasingan serta memerintahkan dia menjalani rehabilitasi dan kaunseling ketika berada di penjara selain pengawasan polis selama setahun selepas tamat hukuman.

SEOUL: South Korean boy group BTS has secured the 19th spot on the U.S. Billboard's list of the Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century, Yonhap News Agency reported.

"The group has broken through ceilings for boy bands, K-pop and South Korean artists in general, all while creating a meaningful community that is continually inspired by BTS' message of positivity, love and connection," Billboard said in an online article introducing the No. 19 entry, revealed Tuesday (United States time).


"No K-pop group or group in general has been able to accomplish what Bangtan has this century," it continued. "From creating a global community to expanding K-pop well outside of its genre and delivering seven successful pop star solo acts, BTS truly paved the way."

The music magazine also said the global K-pop sensation has amassed "Beatles-sized success," noting that it has notched six Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits and six Billboard 200 No. 1 albums.

It then cited the group's special relationship with its massive fandom, ARMY, and the members' ability to bend and blend genres among the qualities that make the group stand out as pop stars.

The group's top-notch music videos and the members' dance skills ranging from hip-hop to ballet and interpretive dancing were also highlighted.

Since last month, Billboard has been unveiling the list of 25 most influential pop stars in the 21st century US, featuring two new stars each week.

KUALA LUMPUR: Mahkamah Tinggi di sini hari ini membenarkan permohonan enam wanita warga China untuk menangguhkan penghantaran mereka ke negara itu, sementara menunggu permohonan habeas corpus atau penahanan salah yang difailkan selesai.

Hakim Datuk Azhar Abdul Hamid memutuskan demikian selepas peguam J.Matthews yang mewakili jurutera, Fu Xiaoling, 40, artis opera Fu Xiaoyan, 37, perunding teknikal, Zhong Li, 27, pembantu akaun, Ai Xi, 31, model Huang Ting, 33, dan pemegang pas lawatan, Zhao Jinming, 26, membuat permohonan itu, dan tiada bantahan daripada Timbalan Pendakwa Raya Syajaratudur Abd Rahman.

"Mahkamah membenarkan permohonan (penangguhan) itu dan menetapkan 2 Okt ini untuk mendengar permohonan habeas corpus," kata Hakim Azhar.

Enam wanita itu selaku pemohon memfailkan permohonan habeas corpus pada 9 Sept lepas, dengan menamakan Pengarah Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia (JIM), Ketua Pengarah JIM, Menteri Dalam Negeri, Komandan Depot Tahanan Imigresen Bukit Jalil dan Kerajaan Malaysia sebagai responden pertama hingga kelima.

Kesemua wanita terbabit memohon agar mahkamah membebaskan mereka serta-merta tanpa syarat daripada tahanan di bawah kawalan serta jagaan Komandan Depot Tahanan Imigresen Bukit Jalil.

Menerusi afidavit sokongan, Matthews berkata keenam-keenam wanita itu ditahan oleh JIM dalam satu serbuan di sebuah pusat hiburan pada 22 Ogos lepas, dan selepas tamat tempoh reman mereka diperintahkan untuk diusir daripada negara ini walaupun kesemua pemohon mempunyai Visa kemasukan ke Malaysia secara sah.

Beliau mendakwa pemohon-pemohon yang merupakan pemegang pas pekerjaan yang sah dan pas lawatan juga tidak disabitkan dengan sebarang kesalahan atau dijatuhi hukuman bagi mana-mana kesalahan bersangkut dengan tangkapan ke atas mereka sejak 22 Ogos lalu.

Sehubungan itu, katanya perintah tahanan dan pengusiran yang dikeluarkan ke atas pemohon-pemohon bersifat pra-matang, tidak disokong bukti kukuh serta penyalahgunaan kuasa dan suatu tindakan melebihi peruntukan dalam Akta Imigresen 1959/1963.
