Malaysia invited to discuss about Hormuz Straits

ZeroSOFInfinity — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:45:41 +0800

SEPANG: Malaysia has been invited to take part in a high-level international discussion on the Strait of Hormuz tonight, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said.
Anwar said the invitation was conveyed by French president Emmanuel Macron, who is co-hosting the session at 8pm (Malaysian time) with British prime minister Keir Starmer.

Anwar, who said Malaysia would be represented by foreign minister Mohamad Hasan at the online discussion, stressed that the country’s position remains firm in ensuring freedom of navigation through the strategic waterway, which is a critical route for global energy supplies.

“At the same time, we cannot deny Iran’s rights. We are also concerned about the actions taken by Israel and the US against Iran,” he told reporters after Friday prayers at the fire station surau here.

He said Malaysia would adopt a balanced and independent stance in addressing the issue, reflecting its commitment to maintaining regional stability while safeguarding international trade interests.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important shipping lanes, making any tensions in the area a matter of international concern.

AFP reported today that Macron and Starmer will chair a meeting of allies to consider sending a multinational force to ensure security and free-flowing trade in the strait once the conflict between Iran and the US and Israel ends.

The leaders joining Starmer and Macron for the meeting, which will mostly be held via video, are due to call for a return to full freedom of navigation and also address the economic consequences of the blockade.

Tensions in the Gulf have intensified after the US announced a blockade of maritime traffic entering and exiting the strait.

Iran effectively shut ‌the ⁠strait, a route that carries about a fifth of the world’s oil consumption, as soon as the US and Israel launched the war against the Islamic republic on Feb 28, leading to a surge in global energy prices.

European leaders are worried that if the blockade continues, consumers will face higher inflation, food shortages, and flight cancellations as jet fuel runs out.

Hope he finds some "fresh milk" in there...

Soldier assaulted in Bentong dies - now its MURDER

ZeroSOFInfinity — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 15:22:12 +0800

PETALING JAYA: The soldier who was left on life support after allegedly being assaulted by a non-commissioned officer at the Royal Malay Regiment camp in Bentong, Pahang died this morning.
Amirul Raziq Rosafindi, 24, breathed his last while being treated at Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital in Temerloh, according to his father.

Rosafindi Tambi Chik, 49, said his late son will be laid to rest at Pusara Damai Felda Sungai Kelamah in Gemas, Negeri Sembilan, Berita Harian reported.

On Monday, corporal Sukry Tasu, 37, claimed trial to seven charges of assaulting army personnel at the 25th Battalion of the Royal Malay Regiment camp last month.

Sukry was charged with causing grievous hurt to Amirul and six others — Atiqillah Taugek Rashidi, 21; Syakirin Yaacob, 20; Azman Shah Ismail, 22; Nik Amir Zaqwan Nik Asrizal, 19; Irfan Aiman Tajudin, 19; and Danial Asraf Azizan, 22.

Bentong police chief Zaiham Kahar previously said the corporal had allegedly punched and kicked Amirul in various parts of the body.

The armed forces said a preliminary investigation found that the non-commissioned officer had used physical force after being dissatisfied with the way the soldiers had cleaned the weapons store.

=========================================

PETALING JAYA: A non-commissioned officer’s assault on soldier Amirul Raziq Rosafindi has now been classified as murder after the 24-year-old victim died this morning.

While the corporal, Sukry Tasu, 37, was charged with causing grievous hurt on Monday, Bentong police chief Zaiham Kahar said fresh investigations will be held for murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

“A request to conduct an autopsy on the deceased has been submitted and we will go through the statements we recorded previously once again.

“If necessary, more witnesses will have their statements taken,” he said in a statement.

Amirul’s father, Rosafindi Tambi Chik, earlier confirmed that his son died this morning at Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital in Temerloh, Pahang, about a week after he was left on life support following the assault.

On Monday, Sukry claimed trial to seven charges of assaulting army personnel at the 25th Battalion of the Royal Malay Regiment camp last month.

He was charged with causing grievous hurt to Amirul and six others – Atiqillah Taugek Rashidi, 21; Syakirin Yaacob, 20; Azman Shah Ismail, 22; Nik Amir Zaqwan Nik Asrizal, 19; Irfan Aiman Tajudin, 19; and Danial Asraf Azizan, 22.

Zaiham previously said the corporal had allegedly punched and kicked Amirul in various parts of the body.

The armed forces said a preliminary investigation found that the non-commissioned officer was dissatisfied with the way the soldiers had cleaned the camp’s weapons store.

Separately, defence minister Khaled Nordin conveyed his condolences to Amirul’s family over the soldier’s death, saying he viewed the incident seriously and would not compromise with the parties involved.

“Any form of violence, misconduct or breach of discipline does not reflect the values, integrity and professionalism upheld by the Malaysian armed forces.

“My ministry will ensure justice is served.

“I have ordered the armed forces to strengthen discipline and integrity in their ranks through stern action to ensure such an incident does not occur again,” he said in a statement.

LIVE: Shootout at Istanbul's Yisrael Consulate

ZeroSOFInfinity — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 19:36:11 +0800

The Israeli consulate in Istanbul was today attacked by a group of terrorists, one of whom was killed following a ten-minute gun battle.

Two officers were wounded following the attack this morning. Footage showed a police officer pulling out a gun and taking cover as gunshots were heard. One person was seen covered in blood.

Bodies were seen laying on nearby streets and grassy areas. Local media reported that two police officers had been injured in the incident, which occurred immediately outside a tower where the Israeli consulate is located in Istanbul's financial district.

Since the Hamas-Israel war began in 2023, a heavily armed police presence has been maintained in the area near the Israeli consulate.

A source with knowledge of the matter said there were no Israeli diplomats stationed in Turkey at present.

Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said they arrived in Istanbul by a rental vehicle from Izmit and one of the assailants was affiliated with an 'organisation that exploits the region'.

Turkish officials would not immediately reveal the group the attacker was linked to but Turkish media said it could be the Islamic State group.

It comes after Israel issued a chilling warning to the people of Iran, telling them that using trains or going near railway lines will put their lives in danger.

The IDF told Iranians via its Persian-language account on X that they should avoid using public transport until 9pm, Tehran time, several hours before Trump's deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

'Your presence on trains and near railway lines endangers your life', the Israeli military warned.

Israel has played a key role alongside the US in the war in the Middle East, which began on February 28 after both nations launched strikes against Iran.

Since then, the conflict has grown in scale, violence and complexity, with global economies now suffering greatly thanks to Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, an important waterway that is vital to the trade of oil and gas.

Trump's patience for the conflict appears to be rapidly thinning. At a chaotic press conference at the White House last night, he said he was 'not at all' concerned about possibly committing war crimes after he threatened to destroy Iran's bridges and power plants if Tehran did not meet his deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8pm EST.

And confidence in Trump's ability to quickly end the war appears to be waning.

Brent crude, the international standard, rose to about $111 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate - the US' standard - rose to $115 per barrel, its highest level in a month.

Global markets have been betting that skilled diplomacy will see the conflict draw to a close soon, but peace talks have so far made little headway.

Ramanan vs Hassan Karim di PKR Johor Convention

ZeroSOFInfinity — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 19:35:04 +0800

Konvensyen PKR Johor yang berlangsung hari ini bertukar panas apabila Naib Presiden PKR, R Ramanan dan Ahli Parlimen Pasir Gudang, Hassan Karim saling bertikam lidah.

Berdasarkan rakaman video, Ramanan ketika berucap dalam konvensyen berkenaan mengulas tindakan bekas Timbalan Presiden PKR, Rafizi Ramli yang didakwanya “menyerang” parti itu.

"Bila individu sendiri dari parti menyerang parti…,” kata Ramanan.

Hassan lantas mencelah daripada tempat duduk hadirin dengan berkata: "Ini konvensyen, bukan nak serang individu tertentu!

Ramanan membalas bahawa dia tidak menyerang mana-mana individu dan dia berhak bercakap di atas pentas.

"I know your floor! Ini negeri Johor! Saya ahli parlimen Johor! Saya tak setuju! Itu Rafizi tak ada di sini. Kenapa nak serang dia?!" jawab Hassan.

Ramanan kemudian terus membalas teguran Hassan, menjadikan keadaan semakin panas.

"Dia (Rafizi) tak ada di sini tak apa. Yang dia serang parti. Patut you lindungi parti, YB. You should defend the party, that is what i’m saying," kata Ahli Parlimen Sungai Buloh itu sambil disambut teriakan "Setuju" oleh seorang ahli PKR.

“Saya mungkin baru dalam parti ini berbanding kamu (Hassan) YB, tetapi saya cintakan parti ini. Saya cintakan presiden saya!” kata Ramanan sambil disambut laungan "sokong!" daripada mereka yang hadir.

Malaysiakini telah menghubungi Hassan untuk mendapatkan komen.

Semalam, Rafizi, berkata dia tidak akan berdiam diri jika keluar daripada PKR; malah akan lebih lantang dan bebas bersuara.

Rafizi memberitahu Malaysiakini hari ini, “Apa yang berlaku dalam PKR tidak lagi terlalu membimbangkan saya.”

“Jika kepimpinan terus berkelakuan seperti ini, ia hanya menampilkan drama yang sedang berlangsung dan terus melemahkan parti,” kata Ahli Parlimen Pandan itu.

Konvensyen PKR Johor yang diadakan di Johor Bahru itu turut dihadiri Presiden PKR, Anwar Ibrahim, Pengerusi PKR Johor Dr Zaliha Mustafa, Setiausaha Agung, Fuziah Salleh; Ketua Penerangan PKR, Fahmi Fadzil; Ketua Wanita PKR, Fadhlina Sidek dan Ketua Pemuda PKR (AMK), Kamil Abdul Munim.

Man caught using 4 ICs X belong to him for Budi95

ZeroSOFInfinity — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 11:54:32 +0800

RANTAU PANJANG: Police have arrested a man for allegedly using the identity cards of four people to purchase more than 100 litres of petrol yesterday.

Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the suspect was detained while filling up at a petrol station in Tumpat.

"When apprehended, we found found four identity cards in his possession.

"He used the cards belonging to different people to purchase over 100 litres of petrol," he told reporters when visiting the Malaysia-Thailand border today.

Yusoff said the case has been referred to the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry, with the suspect being investigated under the National Registration Act.

"Police will also review other relevant laws that may be applied against the suspect," he said.

Asked whether there have been cases of Malaysians purchasing diesel in a neighbouring country and entering Kelantan via illegal routes following the ongoing Middle East crisis, Yusoff said no such cases have been detected.

"So far, we have not arrested any Malaysians attempting to bring in diesel from across the border," he added.

Diesel in Thailand is sold at about 38 baht (RM4.82) per litre, making it cheaper than in Malaysia.
