  • Lelaki Dijel 24 Bulan Kerana Dakwa Diri Imam Mahdi

    Lelaki Dijel 24 Bulan Kerana Dakwa Diri Imam Mahdi

    Seorang lelaki mengaku bersalah membuat dakwaan palsu dengan mengisytiharkan diri sendiri sebagai Imam Mahdi.

    Dia dihukum penjara 24 bulan dan didenda RM4,900 (S$1,680) oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah di Kuala Lumpur.

    Hakim Syarie, Mohd Amran Mat Zain menjatuhkan hukuman itu terhadap Mat Alimin Abdullah, 36, mengikut Seksyen 6 Akta Kesalahan Jenayah Syariah (Wilayah-Wilayah Persekutuan) 1997.

    Mahkamah turut memerintahkan Mat Alimin dipenjara enam bulan lagi sekiranya gagal membayar denda tersebut.

    Sebelum menjatuhkan hukuman, Hakim Mohd Amran berkata pegangan akidah merupakan satu daripada perkara dalam teras keimanan umat Islam, dan tidak boleh dicampur aduk dengan perkara-perkara lain yang membolehkan timbul keraguan dalam seseorang individu.

    “Mahkamah berpuas hati dengan rayuan yang dikemukakan oleh tertuduh untuk tujuan meringankan hukuman dan hujahan pendakwaan untuk pemberatan hukuman.

    “Sehubungan dengan itu, mahkamah menjatuhkan hukuman denda RM4,900 dan penjara 24 bulan,” kata hakim.

    Mat Alimin didakwa melakukan kesalahan tersebut dengan melafazkan: “Sekiranya saya benar, siapa yang mempermainkan saya, mendustai saya, saya serah kepada
    Allah, sebab orang yang bercakap pada hari ini Muhammad Al-Mahdi utusan Allah.

    “Sekiranya benar saya utusan Allah, siapa yang mempermainkan saya akan dilaknat oleh Allah. Ini janji Nabi Muhammad akhir zaman nanti akan keluar umatku namanya seperti namaku, berasal dari keturunanku, nama bapanya seperti nama bapaku dan keluar dari arah Timur.”

    Dia didakwa melakukan kesalahan tersebut di dalam bilik mesyuarat Pejabat Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan di Menara Pusat Islam, Jalan Perdana antara pukul 3.00 petang hingga 3.30 petang, semalam (26 April).

    Terdahulu dalam rayuannya, Mat Alimin yang tidak diwakili peguam, merayu kepada mahkamah agar hanya dikenakan hukuman denda yang ringan kerana perlu
    menanggung dua anaknya yang masih bersekolah dan kini hanya bekerja sendiri.

    Ketika hakim bertanya mengenai latar belakang, sejarah kesihatan dan tahap pendidikannya, tertuduh berkata dia berpendidikan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM)
    dan tidak pernah mendapat rawatan psikiatri dari mana-mana pusat perubatan.

    Pegawai Pendakwa dari Jabatan Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (Jawi), Zainol Rashid Hasin, berhujah bahawa tertuduh dalam keadaan kesihatan yang baik dan waras ketika melakukan kesalahan dan wajar mendapat hukuman berbentuk pemenjaraan.

  • Drugs, Sex And Bribes: Malaysia’s Police Come Under Scrutiny

    Drugs, Sex And Bribes: Malaysia’s Police Come Under Scrutiny

    The Malaysian ­police force has come under scrutiny in recent weeks for all the wrong reasons.

    There have been several cases this month in which the men in blue were nabbed for various criminal activities, such as kidnapping, bribery, sexual assault and extortion.

    At the same time, it has also emerged that six anti-narcotics enforcers from the state of Selangor were arrested over several days since late last week on suspicion of being on the payroll of a major drug ring that was crippled last week when RM36 million (S$12.4 million) worth of methamphetamine was seized.

    On April 1, two police constables were detained by the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Johor, after soliciting a RM300 bribe from a man who allegedly committed a traffic offence.

    A day later, four policemen from federal police headquarters Bukit Aman joined three accomplices in an attempt to extort money from a sundry shop worker in the state of 
Pahang. All seven, aged between 29 and 35, were detained by the police.

    On April 10, a married corporal was detained after he sexually assaulted three teenagers who were being held for rioting at a detention centre in Jinjang, Selangor. He was charged for gross indecency.

    On April 14, two policemen were suspended from their duties after they released a man who allegedly raped a four-year-old girl.

    Two days later, four policemen and a woman constable were detained by the MACC for allegedly accepting money from a man who wanted to settle a car theft case in Penang.

    On April 23, a police constable, who was recently dismissed, tried to pass himself off as still being in the force before he was caught by police patrolling the area, where he was holding a man for ransom.

    Between 2010 and 2015, a total of 3,677 police personnel were arrested for alleged involvement in criminal activities.

    While 521 officers were charged in court, 2,312 of them were released after investigations.

    Meanwhile, sources told the Malay Mail that the six anti-narcotic enforcers — an inspector and five lance corporals — who were nabbed had collected about RM100,000 during the past six months from drug lords to close an eye to their mass production of methamphetamine.

    The sources said the policemen had stumbled upon the drug operation between three and six months ago.

    “We believe the six made a pact with the syndicate not to expose their activities, provided they were paid enough to keep quiet,” said one source.

    Investigations are under way to determine if the policemen were also paid to tip-off the syndicate if they knew police were on their trail.

    The drug bust also resulted in police seizing RM3.85 million worth of cash and vehicles.

    Malaysia’s police chief Khalid Abu Bakar had said drugs totalling 239kg were seized.

    “If it had hit the streets, it would have supplied about 12 million drug users,” he was quoted as saying by The Star.

  • Woman Gets Three Weeks Jail And Five-Year Driving Ban For Fatal Accident Along KJE

    Woman Gets Three Weeks Jail And Five-Year Driving Ban For Fatal Accident Along KJE

    A civil servant who caused the death of a motorcyclist in a chain collision along an expressway was sentenced to three weeks’ jail and banned from driving for five years on Wednesday (April 27).

    Nur Azkiya Ahmad, 34, is appealing against sentence and is out on $15,000 bail.

    She had pleaded guilty to causing the death of Mr Jeremy Lim Yew Leong, 34, by failing to keep a proper lookout for vehicles that had come to a stop due to traffic congestion along Kranji Expressway (KJE) on the morning of March 31 last year.

    Court documents say that she swerved her car to the left to avoid a near collision with the front vehicle, which in turn caused her car to swipe Mr Lim’s and another motorcycle.

    Mr Lim rammed into a car. He was flung to the extreme left lane into the path of a moving prime mover which ran over him.

    A district court heard that there was a heavy traffic flow along KPE that day.

    Azkiya was driving her Kia car at 80kmh along the extreme right lane. She failed to notice that a red car in front of her and other cars ahead had come to a stop due to traffic congestion.

    She then realised this suddenly and applied her brakes. She also swerved her car to the left to avoid hitting the red car and her car hit Mr Lim’s motorcycle.

    Mr Lim’s motorcycle was pushed to the centre lane and hit a car. He was flung off his machine and slid under a prime mover which ran over him on the extreme left lane. He died in hospital about 1½ hours later.

    The prosecution had sought a jail term of three to four weeks plus a five-year driving ban.

    But Azkiya’s lawyer Abdul Jalil urged the court to impose a fine. He argued that the accident was cause partly by other motorists, too, including Mr Lim.

    Deputy Public Prosecutor Stephanie Koh said Azkiya had “demonstrated a high degree of negligence”. She failed to notice stationary vehicles in front of her on an expressway, and thereafter, she reacted without regard for other road users by swerving suddenly .

    She said Azkiya was the substantial cause of the accident, and it was unclear how the other vehicles contributed to the outcome .

    Agreeing that Azkiya had displayed a high degree of negligence, District Judge Salina Ishak said a prudent and reasonable driver is expected to take reasonable precautions to be able to react to sudden stoppages on the expressway by maintaining a safe distance with the vehicles ahead.

    She said in this case, Azkiya had clearly failed to keep a proper lookout for vehicles in front of her.

    She said Azkiya collided into not one but two motorcycles. The second charge of causing hurt to the other rider by doing an act so negligent as to endanger life was considered in sentencing.

    Azkiya could have been jailed for up to two years and fined for causing death by negligence.

  • Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia: Feminism Making Women Forget Their Place As Homemakers

    Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia: Feminism Making Women Forget Their Place As Homemakers

    Feminism does not belong in Malaysia as it is causing women to neglect their husbands and children, choosing instead to work and socialise, Islamist group Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) said today.

    It’s president Abdullah Zaik Abd Rahman said that while Muslim women are allowed to work, they should still prioritise the household before anything else.

    “I believe that Asian women, especially Muslim women who still hold on to the principles, know that the main priority of the woman is at home,” he said during his keynote address at the Isma Women’s forum today.

    “That (feminism) has a negative impact if it’s not filtered by culture or religion.

    “The function of women, even though they can enter all career fields, they cannot prioritise it more than their basic roles because if this is to continue then there will be an extraordinary void in our family institutions where the children that need the love and attention of their mothers,” he added during a press conference, also noting that while feminism is appropriate in the West, it was not appropriate in Malaysia.

    He explained that one of the most pivotal roles of women was maintaining a household and raising successful children, something that many are no longer seeing as a priority due to feminism.

    “(Women) have a specific responsibility to educate their children. But the situation now needs to be re-examined as the lifestyle of women today are wholly influenced by feminism.

    “(Women working) will create an emptiness in (children) that is very extreme for the next generation. And they will try to fill the void with other things that may happen irresponsibly and may affect the development of their character,” he said.

    He added that feminism has also given women too much “space” and in turn robbed men of theirs as there no longer are gender-specific careers.

    “Unlike before, when some fields are done by men and cannot be done by women, today women can enter all fields; in fact some women are considered more competent. Women can enter all fields and this constricts the space for men to function and there are no longer fields specially for men or specially for women,” he said.

    He suggested that women instead only be allowed to work for half a day so that they can return to their families and prioritise the household.

    “If we reduce their workday to 6 hours or half day but same salary we can save the family institutions,” he said.
