Malaysian Police Say Low Yat Riot Sparked By Clear-Cut Theft Case

KUALA LUMPUR (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) – The events that escalated into a brawl at Kuala Lumpur’s Low Yat Plaza on Sunday started from a clear cut case of theft, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

He said two men were arrested at 7.50pm on Saturday – one suspected of stealing a phone at a kiosk inside the mall and the other his accomplice.

He said the two were caught by staff of the phone shop, Oppo Malaysia, and handed to the security guards who later called the police.

Khalid said the suspected thief was detained in the lock-up while the accomplice was released at the discretion of the investigating officer who did not refer the matter to his superior.

“This suspect (accomplice) then made up stories to his friends and said that Oppo (staff) cheated them but, in truth, they stole the phone from another kiosk and not Oppo,” Khalid told reporters at Low Yat Plaza in the Bukit Bintang shopping belt after visiting the mall on Monday.

“According to the accomplice, he has a receipt of the purchase but when we checked, it was not true.

“He also claimed that he filed a report with us but when we checked our system, there is none. He is a cheat. So please stop spreading false news,” Khalid said.

Khalid said police had also called the Oppo staff to assist in the investigations.

Police have arrested 19 people, ages 19 to 26. All were remanded for four days starting Monday.

Khalid said police would monitoring social media postings that could spark racial disharmony.

On Saturday, a fight erupted between the thugs and sales assistants after a group of youths came to the shop on the ground floor at Low Yat Plaza.

This led to another group of about 100 people who started a brawl at the plaza at 6.30pm on Sunday.

The group had gathered to protest what they claimed was “biased investigations” by the police.

Khalid said police have already arrested 19 people between the ages of 19 and 26. They will be remanded for four days starting Monday.

Malaysians Join ISIS But End Up Cleaning Toilets

A majority of the Malaysian militants, who had gone to Syria or Iraq to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Isis), never saw combat and ended up doing menial jobs, said Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

The deputy home minister said Isis had little use for the Malaysians as soldiers because they did not possess any military training and, therefore, no knowledge in handling weapons.

“Without any fighting skills or combat experience, these Malaysians never really participated in the fight. They only do odd jobs based on what their commanders asked them to do.

“So they became toilet cleaners or kitchen helpers.

“Most of them were, therefore, not given weapons but the few who managed to get their hands on a weapon did fight and got killed or wounded and had to return home,” he told reporters yesterday.

“But these toilet cleaners and kitchen helpers consider themselves militants and make efforts to become soldiers.

“Their mind is set. Fight and kill. What they have is the spirit to fight.”

He said because of their desire to fight and kill, they taught themselves by picking up military skills from other militants such as the making of bombs and improvised explosives.

“Just imagine what damage they could do to the country with such skills.

“They could do a lot of wonders by bombing entertainment outlets, churches and temples.”

He said from intelligence gathered and shared with other intelligence services around the globe, some 96 Malaysians had gone to the Middle East hoping to fight for Isis.

He said “six or seven” had been killed.

Earlier reports stated six Malaysian had died as suicide bombers with a 26-year-old, who reportedly received his military training in Port Dickson, having the dubious honour of being Malaysia’s first Isis suicide bomber.

Ahmad Tarmimi Maliki reportedly drove a military SUV filled with explosives into the Iraqi special weapons and tactics (SWAT) headquarters in al-Anbar in May last year, killing 25 elite Iraqi soldiers.

Wan Junaidi said another 40 militants had been arrested on their return home and were now in detention.

Despite the threat from the militants, the deputy home minister said the situation was “under control”.

“We basically know most of them and are monitoring and keeping them under surveillance.”

Wan Junaidi said when these militants returned, police would normally not arrest them immediately.

He said they would be kept under constant surveillance and their activities monitored.

“Police purposely allow them to go free.

“We don’t just want to arrest one guy. We want their whole network, their contacts, and their sympathisers.”

ISIS ‘Supporters’ Hack Malaysian Police’s Facebook Page

The police’s Facebook page appeared to have been hacked about 40 minutes ago when the cover and profile pictures were changed.

The cover now showed a shadowy man who appeared to be waving an Islamic State of Syria and Iraq (Isis) flag emblazoned with words: “Khilafah has returned”.

The profile picture is the partial face of a person with Arabic words emblazoned on one eye.

A group of masked men holding machine guns with the caption “Viva Islamic State” were also on the Facebook page.

This picture has received 428 “likes” and shared 28 times.

In a posting on its status, it said “‪#‎AnonGHost‬ Was Here”.

Subsequently, it posted a lengthy status message clarifying that it is not linked in anyway with Anonymous, the international hacktivist group which had attacked government, religious and corporate websites.

“We don’t have any relationship with Anonymous. AnonGhost is different from Anonymous, we don’t have the same goal and don’t have the same level in hacking.

“We are the sound of the forgotten people, the freedom fighter in the cyberworld and our main target is ‘Sionisme’ (sic) and ‘israhell’ (sic), if you are asking why your website got hacked by us, it’s basically because we want to share our message and show the world who we are, we are not looking for fame but we have a goal to achieve we supporte (sic) all hackers teams and we supporte (sic) all the freedom mouvement (sic) in the world,” it wrote.

In its next status message, the hackers posted that it is coming for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, which prompted some commentators to ask them to troll and hack Najib’s and Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar’s accounts.

The police have acknowledged the attack.

Khalid said a team of experts have been assigned to deal with the cyber attack.

“The incident occurred at 2.20pm and the team is already working on the issues,” Khalid told reporters when met at the Low Yat Plaza in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon.

“Please be informed that the official PDRM Facebook page has been hacked by irresponsible parties. Any information issued forthwith is false,” the police said on Twitter.

Police have gone on an offensive against those suspected of links with Isis.

To-date, more than 90 people have been detained by Malaysian police for alleged ties with the militant group.

The police have also voiced their worries over the latest trend of Malaysians planning to launch attacks in the country upon getting instructions from Isis senior members in Syria.

Leaked Classified Documents: PDRM Don’t Rule Our Possibility Of Conspiracy To Topple Najib Razak

KUALA LUMPUR — Police have not eliminated the possibility of a conspiracy to subvert Malaysia’s democratic process and topple the Prime Minister over the criminal act of leaking classified documents to foreign nationals.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said these criminal acts were very serious and raised national security implications.

He said the Attorney-General had instructed a full investigation to be carried out on the leaking classified documents, where these materials were alleged to be from an unnamed Malaysian government investigation into 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

“In addition, the Royal Malaysia Police have also received police reports related to this matter. We are therefore duty bound to conduct a full and independent investigation,” he said in a statement here today.

He said the investigation would include investigating all members of the Special Task Force, who included Bank Negara personnel, to uphold the integrity of the inquiry and trust in Malaysia’s financial system.

“The leakage of information, whether the documents have been doctored or otherwise, could trigger offences under the Financial Services Act 2013 (Sections 133, 248, 249 and 250), the Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 (Section 145), the Official Secret Acts 1972 (Sections 3, 4, 7A, 7B, 8, 11 and 14), the Penal Code involving sections under Chapter XL for false and fabricated evidence and criminal defamation in Sections 499 to 502 and could constitute economic sabotage against Malaysia.

“Anyone found guilty of leaking or doctoring the said documents will face the full force of law,” he added.

Khalid said the objective of the police investigation was to identify those who had leaked the material, and determine whether these documents were genuine or had been doctored, as in the case of Xavier Justo, the former PetroSaudi International (PSI) executive who was being investigated by the Thai authorities for blackmail and extortion.

The Thai police were reported to have detained Justo last June 24 for allegedly attempting to blackmail PSI, an international company based in Saudi Arabia which had drawn attention in Malaysia as it had established ties with 1MDB.

Man Writes “I Am Sorry” In Own Blood On Boyfriend’s HDB Wall

Netizens were shocked to find viral pictures circulating today which showed a bloodstained wall with the words “I AM SORRY” written on it. The creepy picture has prompted netizens to discuss whether the image was just a prank or a lovers’ spat gone wrong.

It seems reporters from the Chinese evening daily have managed to uncover the truth about the mysterious bloodstained message – the image may have been the result of a quarrel between two homosexual youths.

According to the Chinese papers, a 19 year-old homosexual youth had gone to his lover’s home to apologize for a quarrel, and had even gone to the extent of using a knife to draw his own blood to write his apology on the wall!

The incident took place around noon today on the 6th storey corridor of Choa Chu Kang BLK 214. According to neighbors, the 19 year-old lover had caused a scene outside of his lover’s home. The two men appeared to be about the same age.

One neighbour, Mr Ye, said that he first heard shouting and a commotion, then metal gates slamming. He said that he saw the 19 year-old youth collapsed on the floor in a conscious state, surrounding by 6 police officers who had to persuade him to not harm himself.
