Syed Saddiq turns down offer to return as Muda president
KUALA LUMPUR: Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has declined an offer to return as Muda president following his acquittal of corruption charges. The Muar member of parliament said he needs more time to decide on the position. "I have informed the party's leadership that I need a little bit more time. I want to spend time with my family, focus on my constituency work in Muar, and continue fundraising for local needs. "I've already relayed my decision to the party leadership, and I will leave it at that," Free Malaysia Today quoted as saying. On June 26, Muda's acting president, Amira Aisya Abd Aziz, offered the party's presidency back to Syed Saddiq. Syed Saddiq, who was the Muda president, vacated his post during his corruption trial. He was acquitted of four charges of abetting criminal breach of trust, misappropriation of party funds and money laundering. A three-judge Court of Appeal panel led by Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim allowed the former youth and sports minister's appeal, setting aside his conviction, seven-year prison sentence, RM10 million fine and two strokes of the rotan.

Couple awarded RM160,000 in unpaid overtime claims
The Court of Appeal rejects the factory's argument that the couple enjoyed flexible working hours, although their contract stated it was from 5am to 8pm. PUTRAJAYA : A couple, who worked as cooks at a factory canteen in Johor, was awarded a total of RM162,420 in unpaid overtime claims after the Court of Appeal overturned a High Court ruling earlier this year. A three-member Court of Appeal bench, chaired by Justice Lim Chong Fong, said the Employment Act limited a person's shift to eight hours a day but the couple's contract stipulated that they should work from 5am to 8pm. Despite siding with the couple, the appellate court allowed only one-third of the total amount demanded by Ee Yueh Horng and Tan Ei Guan as it said part of the claims were already factored into the overall calculation. Sinppa Industries Sdn Bhd will now have to pay the wife RM96,732 and the husband RM65,688. The amount is inclusive of 5% interest, calculated from the date the complaint was filed in the Labour Court on March 12, 2023. Ee and Tan were employed from 2019 to 2023 by the aluminium manufacturer based in Ayer Hitam. The wife's monthly salary was RM3,000 while the husband, who doubled as a part-time security guard, earned RM2,000. The factory had paid termination benefits and other outstanding amounts owed to them. Ee subsequently filed a claim for RM290,196 and Tan for RM197,066. These were dismissed outright by the labour tribunal and later affirmed by the High Court in Muar. Today, lawyer T Vijaya Sandran told the Court of Appeal that the couple was responsible for preparing three meals a day, cleaning the canteen and grocery shopping. He said they were allowed only two days off in a month. Lawyer Ina Shafina Sahima, who represented the company, submitted that the couple had enjoyed flexible working hours although their contract stated it was from 5am to 8pm. Lim, who sat with Justices Azhahari Kamal Ramli and Ahmad Kamal Shahid, rejected the argument. Lawyer Abraham Mathews also represented the couple. Ina was assisted by Nur Syarah Syazwan Amad Saturi.

Federal Court to hear prosecution's appeal in Cradle Fund ex-CEO murder case on Nov 10
The hearing dates - Nov 10, 11 and 12 - were fixed during case management. 14 Aug 2025 09:00pm The Federal Court has fixed three days from Nov 10 to hear the prosecution's appeal against the acquittal of Samirah Muzaffar and two teenagers who were charged with the murder of former Cradle Fund CEO Nazrin Hassan. PUTRAJAYA - The Federal Court has fixed three days from Nov 10 to hear the prosecution's appeal against the acquittal of Samirah Muzaffar and two teenagers who were charged with the murder of former Cradle Fund chief executive officer (CEO) Nazrin Hassan. Wan Mohammad Arfan Wan Othman, one of the lawyers representing Samirah and the two teenagers, confirmed the hearing dates when contacted by Bernama. The hearing dates - Nov 10, 11 and 12 - were fixed during case management before Federal Court deputy registrars Wan Fatimah Zaharah Wan Yussof and Mahyun Yusof today. On Feb 8, 2024, the Court of Appeal upheld the Shah Alam High Court's decision to acquit and discharge Samirah and the two teenagers on the murder charge. The High Court, on June 21, 2022, freed the trio without asking them to enter their defence, after the prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case against them. Samirah, 50, who is Nazrin's widow, the teenagers (now 22 and 19), and an Indonesian woman, Eka Wahyu Lestari, who is still at large, were charged with killing Nazrin, 45, at his house in Mutiara Damansara between 11.30 pm on June 13, 2018, and 4 am the following day. In upholding their acquittal, the Court of Appeal held that there was insufficient evidence to determine the guilt of the accused. The Court of Appeal also ruled that there was insufficient evidence to prove that the fire was deliberately started, as there was contradicting evidence from the Chemical Department of Malaysia and the Fire and Rescue Department's investigators. The Court of Appeal held that the testimony surrounding the petrol and the analysis done on it did not use certified methods, and the investigators had skipped crucial steps needed for the analysis of the petrol. - BERNAMA More Like This
