Man claims trial to 52 charges of incest, sexual assault on daughter
PETALING JAYA : A technician has claimed trial at the Melaka sessions court to 51 counts of incest and sexual assault involving his 18-year-old daughter since May.
The 41-year-old pleaded not guilty after the charges were read before judge Haderiah Siri, Utusan Malaysia reported.
He faces 17 charges of incest with his daughter, allegedly committed at a house in Melaka Tengah between May 12 and Aug 2.
He is also accused of 17 counts of touching his daughter for sexual purposes, and another 17 counts of making her touch a part of her own body or that of another person for sexual purposes, at the same date, time and place.
Additionally, he was charged with producing child pornography by taking two nude photographs of the victim in a bathroom at the same location at about 7am on July 9.
Deputy public prosecutor Ehsan Nasarudin proposed bail of RM20,000 for each charge, subject to the conditions that the accused not tamper with the victim or prosecution witnesses, report to a police station twice a month, and surrender his passport to the court until the case has been concluded.
Unrepresented, the accused asked for a lower bail, saying he had only RM8,000 in savings, which had already been taken by his wife before she left with their children.
The court set bail at RM90,000 for all charges, with the conditions sought by the prosecution, and fixed Sept 18 for case mention and the appointment of counsel.

Singapore suspends players under probe for K. Star league match-fixing
SINGAPORE, Aug 21 — All basketball players under investigation for alleged match-fixing in Singapore's K. Star National Basketball League Division 1 have been suspended from official activities with immediate effect, according to Singapore's CNA. Sport Singapore (SportSG) said the suspensions will stay in place until investigations into the alleged offences are completed, CNA reported. Responding to CNA's queries, SportSG said it was aware of the probe and was 'working closely with the Basketball Association of Singapore (BAS) to extend full cooperation to the authorities', including providing all necessary support. 'Match-fixing undermines the integrity of sport and goes against the fundamental values of fair play,' SportSG said. 'We do not condone such behaviour and take these matters very seriously.' The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) on Tuesday arrested nine people — eight Singaporeans and one permanent resident, aged 19 to 35 — for suspected involvement in fixing matches in the Division 1 competition. BAS, which organises the league, said the remaining games would continue as scheduled, with the season running from July 14 to Aug 30. It added that any officials or players under arrest would be immediately suspended from all league activities. One allegedly fixed game took place on Aug 1, when Tagawa beat Tong Whye 66-43, CNA reported. In a Facebook post, Tong Whye Physical Association reportedly said it had not received sufficient details to comment further but stressed a zero-tolerance policy on match-fixing and pledged full cooperation with the authorities. A club official told CNA he was shocked by the news but suggested it was the work of 'a few black sheep', while a former national player said he was 'furious' the allegations had brought 'disrespect' to the sport. Founded in 2011, the Division 1 competition features 10 teams: Adroit, SBA, Tagawa, Chong Ghee, Eng Tat Hornets, SG Basketball, Siglap Basketball Club, Xin Hua, Tung San and Tong Whye. A former player warned the scandal could set the league back 'many years' despite recent progress for younger talent, CNA reported.

MOE releases timeline after Sengkang Green bullying case, parents drop transfer request
SINGAPORE, Aug 20 — The Ministry of Education (MOE) has published a detailed timeline of events following the suspension of three Primary 3 students at Sengkang Green Primary School, who allegedly made death threats to a classmate and her mother, Singapore's CNA reported. The timeline reveals that the school responded swiftly. After the incidents, a four-hour meeting was held between the student's mother and school representatives, during which the mother agreed—CNA said—to have her daughter return under an enhanced safety plan instead of seeking a transfer. MOE explained that the decision to release the timeline was made to address the seriousness of the allegations and to counter claims that the school had mishandled the case. According to the timeline, the initial altercation occurred in late April, when both the affected student and another student used offensive slurs, prompting a mediated apology. Tensions escalated in mid-July when verbal requests for seating changes were made and a student allegedly touched the girl's face without consent. On July 26, the student's mother received prank calls and death threats. The school immediately suspended the three involved students on the next school day and implemented safety measures, including seat changes, bag checks, and assigning peer buddies, CNA reported. By July 30, further incidents surfaced where the girl had used a racial slur against another student, who retaliated by spraying water. Both received counselling. On August 7, the girl was injured by a classmate swinging a school bag at her; the incident led to counselling and, later, caning on August 12. The planned August 18 meeting was intended to update the mother on support measures. However, she posted allegations on social media on August 15 and 16 accusing the school of inaction—claims MOE says are unfounded, according to CNA. MOE also cautioned against airing one-sided narratives online. It said the controversy resulted in online attacks and doxxing of both educators and children, undermining efforts to resolve the conflict. In the end, the student's mother agreed to continue working with the school under the safety plan, and no school transfer will be pursued, CNA reported.

Pontian dental clinic shut 30 days for flying Jalur Gemilang upside down
PONTIAN, Aug 21 — A private dental clinic at the Pontian Trade Centre has been ordered to shut for 30 days after it was discovered displaying the Jalur Gemilang upside down yesterday. Berita Harian cited Pontian Municipal Council (MPPn) president Abd Azim Shamsuddin saying the notice of closure was issued to the clinic's owner at 8.20am today. 'Every licensed premises under the by-laws is required to fly the Jalur Gemilang or the Johor state flag correctly and properly for a set period, including during the month of independence. 'The closure action was taken under By-Law 49 (2), which empowers the president to shut down any premises that violates licensing conditions,' he reportedly said. He added checks showed the premise had violated the Pontian District Council (MDP) 2019 Business and Trade Licensing By-Laws regarding the hoisting of flags. Abd Azim said the owner may file a written appeal during the closure period, but the final decision would rest with the MPPn president. Yesterday, Pontian MP Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said the mistake was made by a female staff member who admitted it was unintentional and has since been rectified. He stressed that this should not be turned into a racial issue, but seen as a matter of sensitivity, attentiveness, and patriotism. Ahmad's statement came after the Youth chief from his party, Datuk Dr Akmal Saleh, rebuked the incident by saying that others are not putting in the effort to 'respect each others' feelings'. Last week, The Attorney General's Chambers warned Malaysians against vigilantism in cases involving the improper display of the Jalur Gemilang, amid furore over Umno Youth's protest in Kepala Batas, Penang over the matter. The AGC said such actions could include raiding premises, spreading personal details, or making unfounded accusations on social media. The AGC also warned the public against provoking or issuing threats against the individuals or organisations concerned.
