‘Wait and see,' says Philippine palace to fugitive Harry Roque's ‘come and get me' taunt
MANILA: Malacanang on Friday (June 20) told former Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque (pic) to 'wait and see' when the government will bring him back to the Philippines. This was the response of Palace press officer Claire Castro to Roque's question on why the government allegedly cannot get him out of The Netherlands and back to the country. 'According to the DOJ [Department of Justice], they are simply waiting for a formal notice regarding his asylum. If he is saying, `Come and get me,' then the government's response is: `Wait and see,'' Castro, speaking in mixed Filipino and English, said at a briefing. She also hit out at Roque for calling the DOJ's announcement of his asylum application rejection 'fake news,' warning him not to take the agency's intelligence and assets lightly. 'He should not underestimate the intelligence and assets of the DOJ, and we will not telegraph the government's moves the way he does,' said Castro. Antipolo City 2nd District Rep. Romeo Acop said that choosing not to pursue the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte would convey the wrong message—that justice is selective and only applies to the poor and powerless. Roque's asylum application in The Netherlands was denied, and he has reportedly applied for another one, this time in Germany, according to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla. He, however, denied this, saying: 'I am not surprised that the Marcos Jradministration, through the Department of Justice (DOJ), has become a purveyor of fake news. That's strike two for the DOJ Secretary. First, he claimed I supposedly have multiple passports. Now, he's saying my asylum was denied.' - Philippines Daily Inquirer/ANN

S. Korean taxi driver under fire for sexually harassing Thai tourist
SEOUL: A South Korean taxi driver is facing public backlash after allegedly making a sexually inappropriate comment to a Thai tourist, raising safety concerns among travellers. According to a video posted on Thursday (June 19) by a Thai woman in her 30s, her friend was verbally harassed while taking a taxi to Seoul Station to board a KTX train to Busan. She posted the video on TikTok with a warning that read, 'Be careful when taking taxis in Korea.' The driver, attempting to communicate using a translation app, allegedly asked inappropriate personal questions such as 'Do you have a boyfriend?' and 'Why aren't you married yet?' He then suggested he could help her find a job, saying: 'It's not hard. You just need to clean rooms.' When the alleged victim mentioned she was travelling to Busan, the driver reportedly responded, 'Shall we go to Busan in this taxi?' and added, 'If you don't have money for the fare, you can pay with your body.' The account owner said the most frightening moment for her friend was when the driver stopped the car and kept talking to her. Before reaching the destination, he gave her his phone number and asked when she would return to South Korea. 'Korea is a safe country and has many good people,' the Thai national wrote in the caption, 'but don't assume it is 100 per cent safe.' The video quickly spread on social media, prompting outrage among South Korean netizens. Many condemned the driver's behaviour, calling it 'a disgrace to the country' and noting that such incidents unfairly damage the reputation of other taxi drivers. Some users left apologetic comments on the TikTok account, with one writing, 'As a Korean, I'm sincerely sorry', and another added, 'You came to Korea expecting good memories, but now you're leaving with a traumatic experience. As someone who loves Thailand, I'm truly sorry.' - The Korea Herald/ANN

'Inexcusable': AGC must answer for repeated DNAAs in high-profile corruption cases, says C4
PETALING JAYA: The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) must be held accountable for its repeated failures in a number of high-profile court cases that have ended in a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA), says the Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4). It said the recent pattern of flawed prosecutions involving political figures that ended in a DNAA showcased a possible significant deep-rooted institutional incompetence within the prosecutorial office. 'These are not normal criminal cases; they implicate corruption involving some of the most powerful political figures in the country, and as such, should be treated with the highest priority. 'It is inexcusable that DNAAs keep being granted on the basis that the AGC had failed to adhere to basic procedures, which are part of any criminal prosecution. 'Not only were they simply not prepared for this case that has been in progress for 6 years, they did not even object to the DNAA,' it said in a press statement on Friday (June 20). This comes after former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was granted a DNAA for three counts of money laundering involving RM27mil linked to SRC International Sdn Bhd by the High Court on Friday (June 20). C4 said Najib's newest DNAA joins a long list of recent similar failures by the AGC in court, including Najib and former treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah being granted a DNAA in the RM6.6bil criminal breach of trust case linked to payments to the International Petroleum Investment Company (Ipic) in November last year. Another recent high-profile case involved Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who was granted a DNAA for all 47 graft charges involving Yayasan Akalbudi funds on Sept 4, 2023. C4 also questioned the lack of any attempts by the AGC to publicly address its repeated failures in high-profile court cases, adding that it was sowing public distrust in the government and judiciary. 'Why have there been no public attempts to remedy this or address these prosecutorial failures? 'This lack of accountability only serves to deepen public distrust, erode confidence in the rule of law, and reinforce the perception that justice in Malaysia is neither independent nor equal,' it added. It also called on the AGC to publicly commit to refiling the charges for all cases where political figures have received a DNAA as soon as possible.
