  • Singaporean Family Detained 14 Days For Verbally Abusing Malaysian Immigration Officer

    Singaporean Family Detained 14 Days For Verbally Abusing Malaysian Immigration Officer

    Singaporean family has been arrested and detained for 14 days for a probe into their alleged verbal abuse against an Immigration Department officer from Malaysia during a border inspection.

    Johor Immigration Department Datuk Rohaizi Bahari said the two-week remand of the Singaporean trio was to facilitate the investigations into the incident last week.

    “It is an offence to hurl abuse at my men who are just following the procedures during checks,” he was quoted saying by local daily The Star.

    “So far our investigation also showed that the officer did not ask for any bribe as alleged by the suspects,” he added.

    Rohaizi said individuals dissatisfied with the officers under him could file a direct complaint to him.

    According to The Star, the arrest was carried out after the Singaporeans refused to lower the back window of their Singapore-bound car with tinted windows for inspection at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex.

    The trio were reportedly a businesswoman in her 40s and her children aged 18 and 19 respectively.

    In the Friday afternoon incident, the woman was said to have verbally abused the immigration officer carrying out the inspection, while one of the trio purportedly gave a middle finger gesture.

    The investigation of the trio is under Section 56(1)(g) of the Immigration Act, where the penalty is a maximum RM10,000 fine or a maximum jail term if five years or both.

  • Malaysian Fireman Responds To Car Crash, Finds Own Family Dead In Car Accident

    Malaysian Fireman Responds To Car Crash, Finds Own Family Dead In Car Accident

    A Malaysian auxiliary fireman was shocked to find out that the dead accident victims he was helping to remove from a wrecked car were his father, twin brother and two relatives.

    Azlan Mustapha almost collapsed at the scene when he checked the identification card and discovered the horrific truth, and had to be consoled by his colleagues.

    The four were killed in a freak accident after a three-tonne lorry went out of control and rammed their car in Tepoh in Terengganu on Thursday.

    They were identified as Mustapha Abdullah, 56, his 32-year-old son Azman Mustapha, and two relatives, Mohd Sabri Ngah, 48, and Alif Ibrahim, 26.

    State Fire and Rescue Department operations management chief Zulkhairul Mohamed Razilah said the 12.40am accident took place when a lorry rammed the car, which was going in the opposite direction.

    “The Fire and Rescue Department, together with some volunteer firemen, took some 30 minutes to extricate the deceased from the wrecked Proton Saga.

    “The victims were all pronounced dead at the scene by the paramedics,” he said.

    Zulkhairul said the lorry driver escaped without any injuries but had been detained at the Kuala Terengganu district police headquarters to assist in investigations.

    Speaking to reporters at the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital in Kuala Terengganu, Azlan said that he was still in shock and disbelief.

    “I never even thought that such a day would come. My father, twin brother and our relatives often go out for supper and they were returning from supper when the tragedy happened,” he said.

  • Curi Sebab Nak Masak Rendang

    Curi Sebab Nak Masak Rendang

    SEREMBAN – Seorang wanita tidak dapat menahan air mata apabila dibebaskan dengan bon berkelakuan baik kerana mencuri oleh Mahkamah Majistret Seremban, di sini, semalam.

    Nor Farina Che Ya, 38, dikenakan bon berkelakuan baik selama dua tahun dengan cagaran RM1,500 tanpa penjamin.

    Majistret Rahimah Rahim membuat keputusan itu selepas mendengar rayuan Nor Farina.

    Dia mengaku mencuri di sebuah pasar raya berhampiran Dataran Centrio, Seremban 2, di sini, sekitar jam 6 petang, 5 Ogos lalu.

    Barang-barang yang dicurinya adalah daun kunyit, daun pandan, serai, daging kambing, syampu rambut, minyak angin, pakaian dalam, seluar dan tudung, semuanya dianggarkan bernilai RM262.86.

    Mengikut Seksyen 380 Kanun Keseksaan, hukuman maksima yang diperuntukkan adalah 10 tahun penjara dan denda.  Bagi kesalahan kedua dan seterusnya pula, pesalah boleh dihukum penjara, denda atau sebatan.

    Kes dikendalikan Timbalan Pendakwa Raya Soo Kok Weng, manakala Nor Farina tidak diwakili peguam.

    Nor Farina memberitahu mahkamah, dia menghidap diabetes kronik  dan mempunyai anak perempuan berusia 10 tahun yang menghidap penyakit hipoglisemia.

    Katanya, dia mencari nafkah dengan mengutip dan menjual kotak serta barang lusuh.

    Tambahnya, dia menerima bantuan RM150 setiap bulan, tetapi tidak cukup untuk menampung hidupnya dan anaknya.

    Nor Farina memberitahu mahkamah, dia memohon bantuan baitulmal, tetapi tidak berhasil.

    Dia berkata, dia mencuri kerana terdesak.

    ‘Saya nak buat rendang…’

    “Saya curi daging… curi serai untuk buat rendang… sebab tak mampu,” luah Nor Farina Che Ya sambil berlinangan air mata apabila mengenang kembali perbuatannya mencuri di sebuah pasar raya.

    Menurut ibu tunggal berusia 38 tahun ini, dia nekad melakukannya walaupun sedar tindakan itu berdosa dalam Islam dan salah di sisi undang-undang, lantaran tertekan dengan desakan hidup.

    “Memang masa buat tu saya tak fikir apa. Saya cuma fikir perut anak yang lapar. Saya kata pada diri sendiri, biarlah saya tanggung dosanya. Apa saya mampu bayar cuma beras pulut yang harganya lima ringgit lebih.

    “Macam pakaian tu, saya teringin sangat nak rasa. Bukan untuk saya saja, tapi untuk anak. Saya ambil tudung,” katanya dalam nada teresak-esak ketika ditemui di luar mahkamah, semalam.

    Sementara itu, Pengarah JKM Negeri Sembilan, Mohamad Hapil berkata, pihaknya akan menghantar pegawai untuk menyiasat situasi menimpa wanita berkenaan sebelum mempertimbangkan permintaannya.

    Setiausaha Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Sembilan (Mains), Kamal Amran Kamarudin berkata, pihaknya juga akan membuat semakan bagi memastikan kesahihan dakwaan Nor Farina berhubung permohonan bantuan Baitulmal.

  • Walid J. Abdullah: It Is Not Easy Being A Mufti, But It Is Always Easier To Criticize One

    Walid J. Abdullah: It Is Not Easy Being A Mufti, But It Is Always Easier To Criticize One

    In the course of my research, i had the privilege of interviewing many religious scholars (ulama) in the region. The one that left the most lasting impression on me was the Mufti of the Federal Territories, Malaysia, Dr Zulkifli Al-Bakri.

    As i entered his office, he was just folding his prayer mat as he had just completed his supererogatory prayers (the Duha prayer, it is called).
    He welcomed me and really honoured me as a guest. He sidestepped questions on other scholars, even as i pressed him on it, and kept saying ‘I can’t comment on others. I just busy myself with my own affairs.’ His humility was apparent throughout. At the end, when i told him that my in-laws were huge fans of his, he looked down, almost embarrassed, reluctant to acknowledge the praise, and merely said ‘All thanks to God’. Before i left, he made a prayer for my success. (His demeanour, personality, humility and character reminds me of our own Mufti, Dr Fatris Bakaram.)

    For me, one does not have to agree with everything any Mufti says, and one can even question particular fatwas. But the manner in which Dr Zul has been slammed for his so-called ‘ridiculous’, ‘regressive’, ‘back to the stone age’ edict, was simply uncalled for. Mostly, by people who did not even read the fatwa, and who just read the ever-so-reliable newspaper headlines!

    Speaking of which, i notice that our newspapers always jump on opportunities to portray the ulama in neighbouring countries as problematic. We as readers, must always be more discerning. Believing sensationalist headlines hook, line and sinker reflects our intellectual capacity, or lack thereof, more than anything else.

    It is fascinating that one who considers himself/herself ‘progressive’ has no qualms attacking the dignity of others, over a disagreement. How enlightened, indeed!
