Banting: Police Beat & Burn Wrong Suspect

RGRaj — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 21:52:56 +0800

PETALING JAYA: The lawyers representing a 20-year-old man allegedly assaulted and tortured by police last month have urged the Bukit Aman integrity and standards compliance department to initiate immediate disciplinary proceedings and criminal charges against the officers involved. The man, who asked to be known as Daniel, was arrested on Nov 15 at his grandfather’s home in Banting. Officers allegedly entered the home on the pretext of seeking help to fix their motorcycle.

He said that upon entering, the three men identified themselves as police officers and assaulted him until he confessed to a robbery. Daniel said he was repeatedly beaten, even while in the police car, and alleged that officers had used a cigarette butt and lighter to burn his lip and genitals.

“He was smoking a cigarette and while doing that, he took the cigarette and pressed it against my lip. He took a lighter and burned my private parts with it,” he said at a press conference here today.

A medical report confirmed soft tissue injuries and a burn wound on his lip. Police said it was a case of mistaken identity and dropped the case. At the press conference, lawyers Latheefa Koya, Rajesh Nagarajan, Mahajoth Singh and Yu Ying Ying presented CCTV footage of Daniel’s assault at his grandfather’s house.

“Without any warning, he was immediately beaten, kicked, punched and slapped multiple times."

“This is a case of mistaken identity. The police themselves admitted they got the wrong person. But the beatings and the kicking already happened from the very beginning,” Latheefa said.

The lawyers said the CCTV evidence clearly showed the assault, and urged immediate action to prevent a cover-up. Daniel’s mother said she filed a police report on Nov 18, when her son was released from a four-day remand, after seeing his swollen face. However, she said she was pressured to retract it. She claimed that an officer had asked her to withdraw her report and offered “what he called a ‘win-win’ situation”.

“He said if I withdrew the report, my son’s case would be dropped. If I proceeded, the police wrongdoing would only result in a two-year jail term and a fine of RM2,000. But my son’s case could result in 14 years in prison.”

Malaysian Cook Convicted of Molesting Toddlers

SINGAPORE, Oct 27 — A 61-year-old Malaysian man who worked as a cook at a pre-school was reportedly convicted today of molesting three girls aged between one and two over a seven-month period.

According to Singapore’s The Straits Times, Teo Guan Huat inserted his hands into the toddlers’ diapers between May and November 2023, in what prosecutors described as one of the most horrendous acts of sexual abuse in a Singapore pre-school.

Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Quek Lu Yi reportedly said Teo, a Singapore permanent resident, was employed only as a cook but had been allowed to help escort children to showers and put them to sleep.

He was caught after a staff member reviewed CCTV footage showing him touching the victims, and was asked to resign in November 2023 before police were alerted on December 2.

Investigators later recovered deleted footage and arrested Teo on December 4.

Four women, aged between 48 and 66, were also charged for allegedly omitting information about the assaults, with one later discharged amounting to an acquittal.

In court, Teo admitted to the offences, claiming he had erectile dysfunction and believed he would not be caught because the children could not speak.

DPP Claire Poh said Teo had “abused the victims’ trust”, noting that the children would often hug him when they saw him.

The court adjourned sentencing to November 10, with prosecutors seeking a 10-year jail term.

(VIDEO) Wan Rosdy Hanya Tersasul

RGRaj — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 12:29:45 +0800

KUANTAN – Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail tidak berniat menyokong Israel sebaliknya hanya tersasul menyebut ‘Palestin hancur’ ketika berucap pada Himpunan Pahang For Palestin di Dataran Majlis Bandaraya Kuantan (MBK), di sini, semalam.

Penyelaras Himpunan Pahang For Palestin Fadzli Mohamad Kamal berkata, kesilapan itu tidak sepatutnya ditularkan kerana ia tidak disengajakan.

“Saya berada di tempat kejadian ketika Menteri Besar Pahang berucap penuh semangat dan ketika itu berlaku kesilapan tutur kata.

“Saya segera memaklumkan kepada Menteri Besar dan beliau segera membetulkan kesilapan dan mengaku tersasul dan minta kesilapan itu tidak dihebahkan kepada umum,” katanya di sini hari ini.

Pada masa ini tular rakaman video berdurasi 20 saat yang disunting memetik Wan Rosdy menyebut ‘Palestin hancur’ sebelum beliau meminta maaf atas kesilapan itu.

Semalam lebih 10,000 orang menyertai himpunan yang dianjurkan Kerajaan Pahang bagi melahirkan rasa simpati dan solidariti terhadap nasib malang rakyat Palestin yang terus ditindas, dizalimi dan dibunuh rejim Israel.

Pahang menjadi negeri pertama di negara ini menganjurkan himpunan berkenaan sebagai tanda sokongan kepada Palestin.

Dalam pada itu, Fadzli yang juga Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Komunikasi dan Multimedia, Belia, Sukan dan Badan Bukan Kerajaan Pahang menegaskan, banyak perkata lain boleh dihebahkan kepada umum pada himpunan itu seperti komitmen kerajaan Pahang menyumbang RM100,000 kepada Tabung Palestin 2.0.

“Pada masa sama, Menteri Besar dengan nada tegas dan berani kecam Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) kerana gagal mengambil tindakan tegas terhadap kekejaman Israel,” ujarnya. – KOSMO! ONLINE

Chinese Buddhist Wants ‘Islam’ Removed From IC

RGRaj — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 23:49:49 +0800

QUOTE

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15 — A lawyer representing a Malaysian Chinese woman, who was unilaterally converted to be a Muslim as a child and wants the court to restore her as a Buddhist, has insisted her case was not of “renunciation” of Islam.

In the judicial review fixed for full hearing today, lawyer Shamsher Singh Thind told the High Court that her conversion to Islam by her father when she was 10 years’ old was “void from the beginning”.

Shamsher said his client, now 42, held on to the Federal Court’s decision in a case involving Hindu mother M Indira Gandhi’s successful bid to quash her Muslim convert ex-husband’s unilateral conversion of their three children to Islam without their knowledge and without her consent.

The Federal Court decided in that case said the term “parent” in the Federal Constitution’s Article 12(4) referred to both parents if they were still alive and capable of giving consent to a child’s religion.

Article 12(4) states that a minor’s religion shall be decided by his “parent or guardian” in matters involving Article 12(3), namely religious instruction or religious worship. Article 12(3) holds that "no person shall be required to receive instruction in or to take part in any ceremony or act of worship of a religion other than his own".

“She has never recited the Shahadah (the proclamation of faith to convert to Islam) until today. Therefore, she cannot be considered a Muslim.

“The requirement under Section 117 of the Administration of the Religion of Islam (Selangor) enactment is not fulfilled,” Shamsher said, in referring to the state enactment where it is clearly stated that both the mother and the father must agree to their children’s conversion.

Senior federal counsel Ahmad Hanir Hambaly, who is representing the National Registration Department (NRD), told the court that the government agency had only acted based on evidence produced at the material time in rejecting the woman’s bid to obtain a new personal identification card without the word “Islam”.

He argued that the agency’s action consequently could not be construed as unconstitutional or unlawful based on the circumstances at that time.

“The NRD had asked her for the Shariah Court order, but the evidence submitted to the department was merely her statutory declaration in rejecting the word ‘Islam’ as well as her conversion certificate.

“We are not the authority or expert to determine the status of her religion,” he said, adding that the NRD is willing to give the woman a new MyKad if she can show evidential proof of her renouncing the religion.

Lawyer Datuk Kamaruzzaman Muhammad Arif, who was appearing for Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais), affirmed that any individual wishing to remove “Islam” from their identification card must obtain a Shariah Court order and present it to the NRD.

“Legally she is a Muslim. This is a renunciation case. She was given an adult MyKad with the word ‘Islam’ on it when she turned 18 years’ old.

“There was no challenge before and after she became an adult to question the conversion until she was 42 years old,” he said.

After hearing submissions from parties, High Court judge Datuk Noorin Badaruddin then fixed March 22 to deliver her decision on the woman’s legal challenge.

Born in Singapore in 1980 to a Chinese couple both of the Buddhist faith, the woman said that her father in February 1990 converted to Islam and in October 1990 registered her with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) as a Muslim when she was aged 10 and that she was then given a new name.

However, the woman said that her mother had never become a Muslim, and that her mother had never given permission to the father to change her religion as a child from Buddhism to Islam. The couple later divorced in 1993. The woman said the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) did not ask her mother’s consent before registering her as a child as a Muslim.

Since turning 18 or becoming an adult in 1998, the woman said she has been practising Buddhism and is also living with her mother.

The woman said she had never professed or practised the Islam faith and that she had never uttered the “shahadah” or the Muslim proclamation of faith when one embraces Islam, while also saying that the NRD does not have records to show that she had became a Muslim after turning 18.

On August 24, 2020, the woman said she had renounced the use of her current name and had made a statutory declaration to seek for a new MyKad to restore her original name and had also sought for the word “Islam” to be dropped from the replacement identity card.

On August 28, 2020, the woman applied at the NRD’s Ipoh branch in Perak for the replacement identity card, but an NRD counter officer refused to accept and process the application unless she produced orders from the Shariah High Court.

After receiving no response from the NRD to an October 2020 letter of demand seeking for the new identity card, the woman on November 12, 2020 filed for judicial review against the NRD director-general, the Malaysian government and the Mais.

The Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) had previously objected to the woman’s application for leave for judicial review, citing three reasons, including that her challenge was allegedly out of time as it should have been filed within three months from her October 1990 conversion to Islam.

The AGC had also objected to the woman’s lawsuit by saying that the civil High Court has no jurisdiction to grant her the court orders due to the Federal Constitution’s Article 121 (1A), arguing that the matter is allegedly tantamount to a declaration of someone no longer being a Muslim that would fall under the Shariah court’s jurisdiction.

The AGC had also objected by saying that the woman had no “arguable case” for review of the NRD’s decision to refuse to process her application for a replacement identity card without an order from the Syariah High Court, citing the Federal Court’s decision in Lina Joy’s case which also involved a bid to have “Islam” removed from the applicant’s identity card.

She successfully obtained leave to have the courts hear her bid in March last year.

Summary: Chinese woman has never recited the shahadah and has been a practicing Buddhist throughout life. But the NRD insists that she's legally a Muslim.

1. Please go to the nearest JPN office near u, and have yours and family members' IC checked for the religious status. You do not want surprises at an unfortunate time.

2. For the theists, please get properly educated in your religion. It goes a long way in having the necessary knowledge in being able to defend your faith when faced with these challenges. For the atheists, well I have no idea. You guys may have an idea.

Syrian Refugee Man Charged in Canada

RGRaj — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 21:18:29 +0800

A 39-year-old man faces six counts of sexual assault after several teenage girls say they were inappropriately touched Saturday evening at the West Edmonton Mall World Waterpark.

Edmonton police were called to the water park at about 10:30 p.m. after receiving reports of sexual assaults.

A man "both followed and inappropriately touched at least six teen girls while swimming in the park," said police spokesperson Scott Pattison.

The girls, who Pattison said are all under 16, spoke to a lifeguard. The lifeguard called security and kept an eye on the man.

When police officers arrived security led them to the man, who was arrested at the scene.

Sarawak Trio Fail

RGRaj — Thu, 18 Aug 2016 10:46:09 +0800

PETALING JAYA: Three people who sought to leave Islam had their appeal dismissed by the Court of Appeal in Kuching, Sarawak, PKR’s Baru Bian revealed.

The Sarawak Opposition leader, in a statement, said Jenny Peter @ Nur Muzdhalifah Abdullah, Tiong Choo Ting @ Mohd Syafiq Abdullah and Salina Jau Abdullah, had named the Director of the Sarawak Islamic Department, Sarawak Islamic Council and the National Registration Department (NRD) as the respondents.

The trio, who were represented by Baru, had sought to compel the Sarawak Islamic Department and council to issue letters of release so that they could leave Islam, and also compel the NRD to change the Muslim names on their official documentation to their original names.

However, the Court of Appeal ruled that the question of whether they could leave Islam should be brought to the Syariah Court.

Baru said the three-member bench, led by Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, cited the Federal Court’s decision in the Lina Joy case and the interpretation of Article 121A of the Federal Constitution.

In that case, Lina had sought to compel the NRD to change her religious status from Muslim to Christian, but the Federal Court ruled against her.

Citing the dissenting judge in the Lina Joy case, Richard Malanjum, the chief judge of Sabah and Sarawak, Baru said the trio were no longer practising Muslims and that their statutory declarations, and evidence of baptism were sufficient.

“In all three cases, the applicants were originally non-Muslims who had converted to Islam for marriage and had left the religion after divorce or death of their spouse.”

He added that the Syariah Court Ordinance 2001 of Sarawak did not make any mention on the issue of jurisdiction over apostasy, hence the High Court should have exercised its jurisdiction to allow the trio’s applications.

On March 24 this year, the Kuching High Court allowed Rooney Rebit, a Bidayuh who was converted to Islam as a child to renounce Islam.

The High Court ordered the NRD to change Rooney’s name to his original name and his religion from Islam to Christianity in his identity card and its records.

The department filed an appeal against the decision on April 22, but later withdrew the appeal after Prime Minister Najib Razak intervened in the matter.

Olympic Soccer Final

RGRaj — Thu, 18 Aug 2016 08:37:30 +0800

Brazilian fans are hoping for a different result this time against Germany, whose senior team embarrassed Brazil 7-1 in the semifinals of the World Cup two years ago.

"Hey Germany, just wait, your turn is coming up," the fans chanted at the Maracana.

Only the gold will be enough, with Brazil playing at home and being considered the main title-favourite in a tournament played mostly with under-23 squads and very few stars.

The Olympic gold medal is the only major trophy the five-time World Cup champions haven't won in soccer.

GERIK: A Bangladeshi was fined RM2,000 or two months in jail for using a birth certificate belonging to another person.

Ahmad Basir, 38, who admitted before magistrate A.Akhiruddin@ Boy Acho to using the document for 15 years was also ordered to be referred to the Immigration department for deportion.

According to the facts of the case presented by prosecuting officer Ahmad Firdaus Che Md Rose from the Perak National Registration Department (NRD), the man was detained at 11.40am on Feb 18 this year by NRD enforcement officers.

He had been using the birth certificate belonging to one Ahmad Basir Mat Rozali since Dec 11, 2001 to apply for a Malaysian identity card.

In mitigation, Ahmad said he entered Malaysia legally in 1991. He said he had married a local woman and have four children who are still schooling.

The prosecution urged for a deterrent punishment as the offence involved national security.

The unrepresented Ahmad paid the fine. - Bernama
