Tough love: Father refuses to bail out son after rape confession
BATU PAHAT: A father refused to pay the RM1,500 bail set by the Magistrate's Court here today for his teenage son, who pleaded guilty to multiple counts of raping a 15-year-old girl. The man, in his 40s, wanted to teach his 16-year-old son a lesson following the teen's confession in court before magistrate Arun Noval Dass. The father, who accompanied his son to court, was seen leaving without posting the bail bond after the guilty plea. According to the charges, the teenager is accused of raping the girl at a residence within the district between 4pm and 5.30pm on June 2. The charge was framed under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code for rape, which provides for a maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment and caning upon conviction. The teenager reportedly committed the offence at his home while his mother was out at work. His mother returned home earlier than usual and found her son and the girl inside his bedroom. The two teenagers admitted to engaging in sexual activities multiple times. The case was set for re-mention on July 16 for case management. Deputy public prosecutor Firdaus Ruslan handled the prosecution, with the accused represented by lawyer Tan Song Yang from the National Legal Aid Foundation.

'We just sent her off': Mum heartbroken after UPSI bus crash
KOTA BARU: A mother was left devastated after learning that her eldest daughter was among the 15 people killed in a tragic bus crash involving Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students near Tasik Banding early this morning. "We had just sent her off last night to catch the bus. This morning, I received news that she had died in the crash," said Fieza, mother of 22-year-old Fatin Nasrin Fadli. The fatal collision, which occurred at 1am along the East–West Highway (Jeli–Gerik route), involved the students' bus and a Perodua Alza. Seven other students sustained serious injuries and are being treated at Gerik Hospital. Fieza said the family first became aware of the incident around 6am after seeing posts about the crash on Facebook. "I only knew there had been an accident involving her bus. I didn't know whether she was injured or had died. While I was driving from Jertih, the hospital called to inform me that she hadn't survived," she said. "It's heartbreaking. She had just returned home for Hari Raya. We were so happy sending her off last night, especially as she was due to attend classes today," she added. As of 10.50am, Fieza was still stuck in traffic in Tanah Merah, Kelantan, uncertain of when she would arrive at Gerik Hospital. "She was the eldest of five siblings and was full of cheer during her time at home. We're all in shock," she said. Authorities earlier confirmed that 14 UPSI students and the bus attendant were killed when the privately chartered university bus overturned near Tasik Banding. The group had been returning to campus after the Hari Raya Aidiladha holiday.

Senior citizen claims trial for physical assault on teen
MELAKA: A senior citizen suffering from a bout of ailments claimed trial at the Sessions Court in Ayer Keroh here to a charge of committing physical sexual assault on a 14-year-old girl. The 70-year-old accused entered the plea after the charge was read out before Judge Haderiah Siri on Monday (June 9). According to the charge sheet, the accused allegedly committed physical sexual assault on the teenager some two years ago. The offence was said to have been committed at a house in Taman Tay Boon Seng, Klebang, here at about 2pm in early February 2023. The charge was framed under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017. If convicted, the accused can face a jail term of up to 20 years and whipping. Deputy public prosecutor Muhammad Nazrin Ali Rahim proposed a bail of RM20,000 along with several additional conditions. Lawyer Kent Tan Chow Teng, representing the accused, appealed for a lower bail, citing that his client suffers from heart disease and diabetes and has no fixed income. The court set the bail at RM10,000 with conditions that the accused must not disturb the victim, report to the nearest police station every month and surrender his passport to the court. The next mention for the case has been fixed for July 16.
