Woman charged over knife attack on husband
KOTA BARU: A woman was charged in the Sessions Court here today with injuring her husband with a knife at Kampung Cherang Hangus, Bachok, last Saturday.
The accused, Siti Anis Phua Abdullah, 36, pleaded not guilty and claimed trial after the charge was read before Judge Zulkifli Abdullah.
According to the charge sheet, she is alleged to have caused injury to her husband using a knife at a house in Kampung Cherang Hangus, Bachok, at around 2pm on Saturday. She was charged under Section 324 of the Penal Code.
The prosecution was led by deputy public prosecutor Kamarul Hasyime Rosli, while the accused was represented by lawyer Wan Amani Wan Azimin.
Earlier, Kamarul Hasyime did not offer bail, while Wan Amani requested the lowest possible bail on the grounds that her client was unemployed and has a nine-year-old son.
Wan Amani also informed the court that this was her client's first offence, and that she suffered from several medical conditions requiring regular treatment and medication.
The court subsequently granted bail of RM7,000 with one surety and fixed Aug 27 for case mention.

S'pore cop among trio held over illegal exit attempt
JOHOR BARU: A Singaporean police officer and two other foreign motorcyclists have been arrested for attempting to leave Malaysia illegally through a major land checkpoint in separate incidents. All three men, in their 20s and 30s, were detained by the Immigration Department several days ago and are now under remand as investigations continue. In the first case, the Singaporean police officer allegedly entered Johor Baru without having his passport stamped. He was caught while trying to exit the country, claiming he had taken a wrong route. However, investigations suggested that he had entered using an unmanned motorcycle lane at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (BSI) complex. The second incident involved two men, a Singaporean and an Indian national, who were also riding a motorcycle. Both were stopped after checks revealed that they had no entry records in the system. Security officials confirmed that all three are being investigated under Section 6(1)(C) of the Immigration Act for entering the country without valid documentation. If convicted, they face up to RM10,000 in fines, a maximum of five years' jail, and up to six strokes of the cane. An official said foreigners must understand that it is an offence to enter or exit Malaysia without presenting their passports. Police reports have been filed in connection with both incidents, a police source confirmed. In previous cases, local motorcyclists rushing to work have also faced stiff penalties for failing to scan their passports. Some were even caught forcefully opening lane barriers at the BSI checkpoint during peak hours. The official issued a stern warning to the thousands of motorcyclists using the land routes between Malaysia and Singapore not to resort to shortcuts. The Immigration Department has also carried out special operations to clamp down on Malaysians and Singaporeans attempting to bypass passport checks at both BSI and the Second Link.
