Iranian suspects in Penang hypnosis scam target tourists
KEPALA BATAS: The five Iranians detained on Sunday for allegedly stealing money from foreign tourists in George Town are suspected members of a trained syndicate skilled in deception. Penang acting police chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin revealed the group entered Malaysia on social visit passes and rented a car to travel from Kuala Lumpur to Penang on July 27. Initial investigations show the syndicate operated from a Batu Ferringhi homestay. Though active in theft cases, no police reports were filed, indicating minor losses. Media reports confirmed the arrest of three men and two women, aged 19 to 35, at a George Town mall under Ops Tourist. Between July 30 and August 1, three theft reports were lodged by tourists from Taiwan, the Netherlands, and Syria in Pulau Tikus and Jalan Penang. Police seized foreign currencies, two vehicles, and marijuana during the arrests. Mohd Alwi stated losses totaled RM3,000 across three cases, with investigations ongoing for possible links to other districts. Authorities are collaborating with the Iranian Embassy for suspect details. The group is remanded until August 6 under the Penal Code and Dangerous Drugs Act.

Child psychologist clears Zayn Rayyan's parents of neglect claims
PETALING JAYA: A child psychologist testified in court that the late Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin had not been neglected or abused, countering allegations against his parents. Dr Noor Aishah Rosli, founder of CPC International psychology clinic, reviewed medical reports from Selayang and Sungai Buloh Hospitals, finding no evidence of mistreatment. 'The reports show no indication of neglect or abuse,' Dr Noor Aishah stated during the trial of Ismanira Abdul Manaf, who faces child neglect charges. The psychologist clarified that neglect must be consistent over time to be classified as such, citing guidelines from the American Psychiatric Association (APA). She explained that occasional lapses, such as a missed meal due to a guardian's illness, do not constitute neglect. However, prolonged deprivation—such as a child consistently being left to find their own food—could qualify. Regarding the amended charge against Ismanira, Dr Noor Aishah noted the wording 'likely' introduces uncertainty, as it does not definitively prove physical injury occurred. When asked if the charge clearly indicated neglect, she replied that it lacked specificity. Judge Syahliza Warnoh had earlier ordered Ismanira to enter her defence after the prosecution established a prima facie case, while her husband, Zaim Ikhwan Zahari, was acquitted. The couple had been accused of neglecting their autistic son between December 5 and 6, 2023, at Idaman Apartment in Damansara Damai. Charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, they faced up to 20 years' imprisonment or a RM50,000 fine if convicted. The trial resumes tomorrow. - Bernama
