Myvi stolen in Muadzam Shah break-in recovered in a plantation
The suspect is believed to have abandoned the vehicle in the plantation, located about 15km from the victim's house.
Rompin police chief Superintendent Sharif Shai Sharif Mondoi said policemen from the Muadzam Shah police station received information from the public while conducting patrol rounds at about 8.30pm.
"Upon inspecting the Myvi, officers confirmed it was the same vehicle reported stolen last week. A gold-coloured bracelet, which had been listed as missing during the break-in, was found in the car.
"The police Forensics Unit was unable to recover any fingerprints. We believe the suspect had tampered with the evidence," he said in a statement today.
Sharif Shai said police suspect the perpetrator fled the scene after abandoning the vehicle, taking the remaining valuables with them.
In the July 8 incident, the suspect reportedly broke into the 33-year-old teacher's home while she was asleep with her two children.
The intruder made off with a gold ring, a bracelet, RM250 in cash, a mobile phone and other valuables before escaping in the victim's Myvi.

Chase ensues after lorry wrecks KKIP site gate damaging Myvi
Published on: Tuesday, July 15, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 15, 2025 By: Jonathan Nicholas Text Size: The dumper lorry crashing through the zinc-sheet gates - Credit to Lee's dashcam footage KOTA KINABALU: A lorry driver sparked a commotion at 3.41pm on Tuesday after ramming through the zinc-sheet gates of a construction site at KKIP Timur, near Telipok, damaging the rear of a Perodua Myvi in the process. Shortly after, a Perodua Aruz was seen chasing the lorry along the road towards Tuaran. Advertisement According to a witness, Lee, 35, the lorry was swerving to prevent being overtaken by the Aruz. He suspects the incident may have arisen from an internal dispute among workers. 'If that's the case, employers should handle such issues internally to prevent dangerous situations like this,' he said. A dashcam video of the incident was shared with Daily Express. Lee also noted that police were spotted investigating the scene around 4.50pm. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Teen hands over mother's jewellery worth RM140,000 to scammers
JERTIH: A teenager has handed over her mother's jewellery worth RM140,000 to an unknown individual after being deceived by a phone scam syndicate. Besut deputy police chief Dep Supt Md Sani Md Salleh said the 18-year-old, who is awaiting admission to an institution of higher learning (IPT), lodged a police report on Saturday (July 12) claiming she had been duped. "The teen received phone calls from three individuals posing as representatives from the e-wallet company and a police officer from Perak on July 1. "They claimed that her particulars had been misused and she was implicated in fraud and money laundering cases," he said in a statement on Tuesday (July 15). Md Sani said the victim then handed over her mother's jewellery to an unknown female suspect in a supermarket in Jertih town the next day (July 2). He said the suspect promised to return the jewellery the same day but later told the teenager that the jewellery had been kept by the Police forensics unit for further investigation. "The teenager was then told that she would have to pay RM28,000 to retrieve the jewellery. The teenager then lodged a police report upon realising she had been duped," he said. Following that, police arrested a 37-year-old woman in Kuala Besut on Monday (July 14) and remanded her for four days until Friday to assist in investigations under Section 420 of the Penal Code. – Bernama

King vs King: Myvi road rage ends with rotan smackdown
A heated road rage incident between two Perodua Myvis — an older model and a newer one — has gone viral after a Reddit video surfaced showing both drivers refusing to give way while attempting to merge into the same lane. The standoff escalated when the older Myvi suddenly rammed into the newer one, after which the driver stepped out with what appeared to be a rotan (cane) and struck the other car before speeding off. The video has drawn wide reactions online, with netizens dubbing it the 'battle of the kings' — a reference to Myvi's longstanding nickname as the 'King of the Road.' 'The fight we'd love to watch. King vs King. Who is the real king?' joked user @Longjumping-Fly6131. 'Gen Z 1995 vs Gen Z 2003,' added @Malmezo. Some, like @16Geek, shared their own experience driving in Penang, where the incident was believed to have occurred: 'Remind me to just 'mengalah' next time I'm there. People just brake or change lanes without care. I was once behind a lorry carrying three stacked metal bins — scary stuff.' Others were concerned over the reckless behaviour. 'Hopefully it got reported, because this kind of driver just endangers others on the road,' said @C-ORE. User @WayneTheFair commented: 'Poor emotional intelligence. Is it worth damaging your car, and for what?' Meanwhile, user @miloopeng highlighted the legal risk: 'The old Myvi driver could be charged with jail time for carrying a weapon in the vehicle.' At the time of writing, authorities have not confirmed if a police report was filed, though many online are calling for action against the driver for endangering public safety and using a potential weapon in a road dispute.
