Commercial gas cylinder price increase

Lancer07 — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 18:39:39 +0800

Due to the tense situation in the Middle East, international crude oil prices have continued to rise. In Malaysia, the price of commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) without government subsidies has been adjusted according to market conditions. The LPG supply company officially raised prices on April 6th, with 14kg cylinders increasing by RM14 and 50kg cylinders by RM50.

The price of government-subsidized household LPG remains unchanged at RM26.60 per cylinder (excluding transportation costs).

However, news of the price increase circulated on social media earlier, causing some misunderstanding among the public who mistakenly believed that the price of 14kg household LPG cylinders had also increased by RM14, leading to discussion and questions. In response, the LPG supply company subsequently issued a clarification on its official Facebook page.

According to the company's statement, to avoid confusion, the previously issued price adjustment notice only applied to commercial LPG cylinders and did not involve subsidized household LPG. The price adjustment applies to C14C (14kg commercial) and C50 (50kg) steel drums, primarily for commercial and business use, and does not include 14kg subsidized LPG for household use.

The statement also emphasized that this explanation applies only to this company and does not represent other distributors or related entities.

After the news of the price increase circulated on social media, it initially led to the public's misconception that household LPG prices had also increased. The relevant supply company subsequently clarified this via Facebook. (Screenshot from Facebook)

An LPG supplier confirmed to Sin Chew Daily that the price of commercial LPG has indeed increased, with RM14 per 14kg drum and RM50 per 50kg drum, equivalent to an increase of RM1 per kilogram.

He pointed out that the price of household LPG, which has long received government subsidies, has not been affected by this adjustment and remains at its original price.

Furthermore, he emphasized that LPG for commercial and industrial use in Malaysia has never been included in the government subsidy program, and therefore its price fluctuates entirely based on international oil prices. Although prices increased this month, they may still fall back depending on market changes. Oil companies typically review and adjust prices monthly.

He said the company has already issued a notice to commercial users regarding the adjustments based on the latest prices, so they can make timely arrangements.

Police confirm charges against preacher

Lancer07 — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 11:59:54 +0800

KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — A celebrity preacher previously implicated in a sexual molestation case highlighted by PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar has reportedly been charged in court, police have confirmed.

Harian Metro cited Senior Asst Comm Siti Kamsiah Hassan, head of Bukit Aman’s Sexual, Abuse and Child Investigation Division (D11), confirming that eight police reports were lodged against the preacher.

“The sexual molestation cases involving the celebrity preacher in Penang are currently being heard in court,” she reportedly said.

“All the victims are male teenagers aged between 13 and 16.”

She said the incidents occurred in Penang and Kedah, with charges filed in 2023, 2024 and this year.

Nurul Izzah previously alleged on Facebook that the preacher had exploited young boys’ interests in nasyid music to carry out his acts.

She said the victim later lodged a police report after experiencing the alleged harassment.

6 year old Afghan girl forced to marry 45 year old

Lancer07 — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 21:17:55 +0800

A 45-year-old man has married a six-year-old girl in Afghanistan’s Helmand province. US-based Afghan outlet Amu.tv reported that the Taliban were “horrified” by the image and stopped the man from taking the child home. Instead, they reportedly told him she could be taken to her husband’s home at age nine.

The case has sparked outrage, but so far, the marriage stands.

According to Hasht-e Subh Daily, the man, who already has two wives, paid the girl’s family money in exchange for her. The ceremony took place in the Marjah district, where the child’s father and the groom were later arrested. However, neither man has been charged.

Child marriage in Afghanistan, already widespread, has grown more severe under the Taliban’s ban on female education and employment.

The Taliban’s war on women and girls extends far beyond marriage. Girls have been banned from secondary schools, universities, parks, gyms, and public baths. Women are barred from most jobs, forbidden from traveling without a male guardian, and ordered to cover their faces in public. Last year, the Taliban defended these policies by claiming a woman “loses her value” if her face is seen by men.

BREAK: Kluang 3 MCA branches jumped to Bersatu

Lancer07 — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 22:20:19 +0800

Translate:
The chairmen of the three MCA branches in Kluang announced tonight that they would lead more than 100 party members to withdraw from MCA and join the non-Malay arm of the Bersatu in the Kluang division.

MCA Parkview Garden branch chairmen Wu Weiyuan, Melinda branch chairmen Huang Meilian and Suria Garden branch chairmen Huang Zaicheng made the above announcement at the "Support Joan (Huang Yuying) Solidarity Dinner" tonight.

Wu Weiyuan said that the current leadership of the MCA Kluang Division has been disappointing and regrettable in handling party affairs and treating comrades.

"Not only did they handle it improperly, they even held a press conference to publicly discredit and suppress the past contributions of Huang Yuying, the then chairperson of the Melinda branch."

He believes that such unfounded and inverted remarks and actions have seriously touched their bottom line.

"We cannot agree with the current leadership's directionless leadership model, which continues to dominate the party and suppresses loyal and hard-working party comrades, while doing nothing outside the party and being unable to deal with internal and external challenges."

He said that such a political ecology not only stifles the efforts and voices of the grassroots, but also makes party comrades and supporters discouraged.

Therefore, Wu Weiyuan said that after careful consideration and many consultations, the above three branches unanimously decided to formally leave the existing MCA system and unite more than 100 party members to fully support and follow Huang Yuying.

"We firmly believe that this decision will inject a new hope and strength into the Kluang community."

He hopes that this new organization can truly represent public opinion, establish a pragmatic and responsible team, and become an influential "hard-working team" in the Kluang community.

"We firmly believe that only leaders with vision, a spirit of hard work and a sense of community can bring real well-being to the community. We are willing to work side by side with Huang Yuying to build a more united and hopeful Kluang."

Huang Yuying, said that Huang Meilian, Huang Zailai and Wu Weiyuan led more than 100 members to join, which is not only a support for her, but also an identification and affirmation of new hopes and new directions.

She also announced the official establishment of the Kluang Division of the Bersatu non-Malay arm organization, and said that they are no longer just scattered voices, but an organized, directional and executive team.

She said that the division working committee was also launched at the same time to fully carry out various organizational and community work, moving towards systematic and professional development.

Blogger stole donations for Gaza

Lancer07 — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 11:11:03 +0800

Salah al-Ja'frawi is said to have pocketed the proceeds of his latest campaign, which raised $4 million for Hamas, claiming it would help in rebuilding a hospital and that it was launched by the Palestinian health ministry.

Gaza-based blogger Salah al-Ja'frawi, who initially rejoiced at the rocket fire from Gaza into Israel on the first day of the war but was later seen weeping in a hospital after Israel’s response, has reportedly amassed a fortune during the conflict. Al-Ja'frawi, known as "Hamas’ social media star" and a recognizable figure even in Israel, raised funds for Gazans—but it now appears that the money may have ended up in his personal account.

Al-Ja'frawi’s latest campaign raised $4 million for Hamas through an appeal for rebuilding Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. He claimed that the Palestinian Health Ministry in Ramallah had urged him to launch the campaign quickly, prompting him to use the ministry’s logo, along with that of a Kuwaiti charity—apparently without the latter’s knowledge. As part of the campaign, he set a fundraising target of $10 million.

However, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Ramallah swiftly issued an official statement denying any involvement in fundraising campaigns for Gaza, emphasizing that it was not a partner in any donations or online fundraising efforts conducted by activists. The ministry further warned against the unauthorized use of its name or logo for fundraising purposes on any platform, urging the public to verify information only through its official website.
The revelations have sparked outrage in Gaza. Palestinian activist Mustafa Asfour condemned al-Ja'frawi, stating: "The thief Salah al-Ja'frawi collected more than $4 million, and the official Palestinian Health Ministry denied any connection to these donations. I told you before—the Health Ministry in Gaza, controlled by Hamas, backed this thief, not the Palestinian Authority. So, dear donors, your money is gone."

A Gaza resident, Abu Lafi, added: "Salah al-Ja'frawi and Hamas’s Health Ministry in Gaza, together with the Kuwaiti charity, planned to collect money under the name of the official Palestinian Health Ministry in Ramallah. Kuwait is a respected country, but this must stop."

A social media activist known as "Abu Hassan" also weighed in: "Before the war, he (al-Ja'frawi) was just ‘working in restaurants,’ and after the war, he became a millionaire with one click—using Gaza’s name! Salah, Those donating to you expected you to help the people of Gaza, not steal the money. He deceived many donors."

Lancer07 — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 07:27:38 +0800

A corrupt policeman was sentenced to a fine of RM7,500 today after admitting in the Magistrate's Court that he extorted RM500 from the boyfriend of an Uzbek girl in 2024 at the Ampang Hillview Road, known as the "Little Genting", in order not to spread their intimate videos.

The defendant, Muhammad Adib Aikal Sharul Nizam (25 years old), an ordinary police officer in the police force, was charged with extortion on January 17 last year together with another colleague who was accused of raping the foreign woman. Today, he changed his plea during the case hearing.

Magistrate Amarina Bashira then sentenced Muhammad Adib Aikal Sharul Nizam to a fine of RM7,500, which will be replaced by a 6-month jail sentence if he fails to pay the fine.

Muhammad Adib Aikal Sharul Nizam was originally an ordinary police officer serving at the Ampang police headquarters. He pleaded not guilty to extortion in the magistrate's court on January 17, 2024, and was subsequently suspended and worked as an e-hailing driver.

Muhammad Adib Aikal Sharul Nizam and his colleague Muhammad Fazrul Razzi Yunus were charged with intentionally extorting John Alarico Fernandes at around 10:09 pm on January 9 last year at the Ampang Hillview Road in Selangor, threatening to spread the video of the latter being intimate with his girlfriend, which frightened the male victim and induced the latter to hand over RM500 to him and his colleagues.

31-year-old First Patrol Sergeant Muhammad Fazrul Razzi Yunus, was charged with extortion on January 17 last year, as well as rape of a 17-year-old foreign minor and unnatural sexual acts in the Sessions Court.

It is understood that the Sessions Court has fixed April 7 to hear the rape case against Muhammad Fazrul Razzi Yunus.

CYBERJAYA, March 11, 2025 — The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has decided not to suspend the broadcasting licence of Maestra Broadcast Sdn Bhd, the operator of Era FM, after reviewing the company’s appeal against a suspension notice issued on March 7.

The commission reminded all broadcasters and online users to act responsibly in preserving racial and religious harmony while adhering to national laws.

After the case was transferred to the Shah Alam High Court, the interpreter read out the charges to each defendant separately, and they pleaded not guilty before Judge Datuk Seri Latifah.

The 22 defendants were charged with being members of an organized crime group at a building in Qingxiangling, Rawang, Gombak District, Selangor between October 2020 and September 1, 2024, and were therefore charged under Section 130V (1) of the Penal Code (being identified as a member of an organized crime group). If convicted, they will face a maximum of 20 years in prison.

Nine female defendants were also charged in court on Wednesday.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Shafiq Hashim, the lead prosecutor, said that bail was not recommended because the crime was committed under the National Security (Special Measures) Act 2012, while Rosli, the lawyer representing the defendants, said that they were submitting a bail application for the defendants.

"At present, we have submitted 17 applications, but we still need to supplement relevant health certificates and other documents.

The court ruled that except for Hamima, the bail applications of the remaining 21 people will be heard on March 17.

A retired veterinary officer forced his 7-year-old granddaughter to give him oral sex and raped her while his wife was away on pilgrimage 5 years ago. After receiving a report on the case last month, the police arrested the suspect yesterday and brought him to court for 7 days to assist in the investigation.

The 63-year-old suspect, a retired veterinary officer, was brought to the Jasin Court at around 9am this morning in a purple detention uniform. Magistrate Mazina Sening approved his remand until the 11th of this month to allow the police to investigate the suspect's beastly behavior 5 years ago under Section 14 (a) of the Child Sexual Offences Act 2017.

The police brought the 63-year-old suspect (center) to the Jasin Court to apply for a 7-day extension of the detention order.

According to sources, the 11-year-old victim was temporarily staying with her parents at the suspect's home in Sungai Nambai, Jasin in 2020, and the suspect's wife was on pilgrimage at the time of the incident.

It is understood that a 50-year-old relative of the victim accidentally revealed that the grandfather not only forced the victim to have oral sex, but also raped the victim when he asked the victim about living with her grandfather five years ago on January 29 this year.

It is understood that the suspect threatened the victim, who was studying in Penang at the time, not to tell anyone about the incident, including her parents, who were about 30 years old.

The victim was afraid of the suspect's threats and her parents were in the process of divorce, so she did not dare to disclose the incident.

After hearing about her experience, the relatives told the victim's father about it, who immediately took his daughter to report the case. At the same time, the victim was found to have signs of being violated in her private parts during a physical examination at the Malacca General Hospital on the 3rd of this month.

The police arrested the suspect in Sungai Nambai at 10 am yesterday and are currently investigating under Section 14 (a) of the Child Sexual Offences Act 2017. Under this section, those found guilty may face 20 years in prison and caning.

Datuk Ismail, the director of the bureau, said that the authority decorated the entire traffic light with neon lights, which will also change color with the traffic lights, making it the first unique and creative traffic light in the country.

“This project was conceived by the Electricity Team of the Public Works Department. In addition to improving road safety, it also adds color to the streetscape of Melaka. The first ‘light saber’ traffic light is currently located at the intersection of the Ayer Keroh Industrial Area.”

“We named this traffic light ‘Light Saber’ to help road users pay more attention to the changes in the traffic light and avoid incidents of running a red light or failing to notice the traffic light turning green.”

He pointed out this at a press conference this morning after accompanying the chief minister of the state, Datuk Seri Abdullah Abdullah, to inspect the "no U-turn" measures at SPA Avenue.

Ismail also said that the "light saber" traffic light is still in the testing stage and the authorities are evaluating whether the traffic light will have a positive impact on road users.

"We are looking to install it in more places in the future, including several tourist attractions and major entrances into Malacca."

"At this stage, through feedback on social media, many road users have given encouraging responses."
