Bukit Aman launches disciplinary investigation into Ampang cop over alleged hotel invite in viral clip
KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 — Bukit Aman's Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS) is conducting a disciplinary investigation into a police officer accused of inviting a woman to meet and check into a hotel, as alleged in a video that has gone viral on social media.
Its director, Datuk Seri Azri Ahmad, said a police report on the incident was lodged yesterday by the chief of the Pandan Indah police station.
'The case is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
'JIPS Bukit Aman is also carrying out a concurrent disciplinary probe into the junior police officer involved, including aspects of supervision,' he said in a statement today.
He added that firm action would be taken against any officer or supervisor if complaints are found to be substantiated.
Earlier, national news agency Bernama reported that the woman who uploaded the video of the conversation — allegedly insulting to female modesty — has been urged to come forward to assist with the investigation.
Ampang Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail said police had detected a 1-minute-30-second video showing a conversation between a police officer and a woman of unidentified ethnicity.
The clip, which allegedly demeaned the woman's modesty, was posted on TikTok by a user named shaamajinbuulalu and later spread to Instagram.

Singapore ex-actor Ian Fang bows as he begins 40-month jail term for sex with minor, says hopes to be ‘a better version' of himself
SINGAPORE, June 16 — Singapore former actor Ian Fang has reportedly surrendered himself to the State Courts today to undergo his 40-month prison sentence. The Straits Times reported that Fang arrived with a woman said to be his mother. 'I definitely will try my best to be a better person, a better version of myself. It is an expensive and very huge mistake that I need to pay off. 'I believe it will definitely make me a better person. I really hope that everyone can give me a chance, to show that I can be the person you want me to be,' he was quoted saying, bowing afterwards. Last month, the actor whose real name is Fang Wei Jie, admitted to three counts of sexual penetration of a minor, while three additional similar charges were taken into consideration, along with one count each of obstruction of justice and stalking. The offences occurred after the pair met at an entertainment event, with Fang then working as an acting teacher at a child modelling school catering to students aged four to 14. Fang has since left acting and maintained a low profile before his legal troubles came to light. In Singapore, statutory rape applies only to a sexual act with a minor below 14 under Section 376A of the Penal Code.

Johor govt pledges support after 47 Malaysian pilgrims fall for Haj scam
JOHOR BARU, June 15 — The Johor government today asked families of Malaysian pilgrims allegedly duped in a Haj travel scam to place full trust in the authorities as investigations continue. Johor Islamic Affairs Committee chairman Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid said the state is ready to help resolve the case as well as educate the public to be more cautious. 'We are saddened that such scams involving the Haj continue to happen. What's more distressing is that the victims reportedly include elderly pilgrims and those in poor health. 'I am closely following the case and pray for the safety of the affected pilgrims,' he said in a statement. He stressed that there are no shortcuts to fulfilling the Haj and advised Muslims to rely on the expertise and guidance of Tabung Haji as the official pilgrimage fund. Yesterday, local media reported that 47 Malaysians were allegedly scammed by a local Haj agent, believed to be a well-known religious figure. According to news reports, one victim's child said her parents and aunt departed for Saudi Arabia with the agent on May 9. Upon arrival in Jeddah, the pilgrims were allegedly forced to walk to Mecca through dangerous routes without documents, due to Saudi Arabia's strict enforcement against those without valid Haj visas.
