Community leaders report defamation of Head of State, minister to police
Banjimin and Jinori in front of Beaufort IPD after filing the report today. BEAUFORT (Aug 15): Two local leaders from Membakut filed police reports regarding a Facebook post linking Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Arifin Arif to the death of student Zara Qairina Mahathir. District Native Court chief Banjimin Ondoi Dulau and Deputy Chief 1 of PBS/STAR Membakut Division, Jinori Mikil, filed separate reports at the Beaufort District Police Headquarters (IPD) here today. They emphasized that the allegations in the post were entirely false, made without evidence, and clearly defamatory. Additionally, the claims attempted to tarnish the reputation of the individuals involved and the institution of TYT (Head of State), particularly the Governor of Sabah, Tun Musa Aman. Banjimin stated the post could incite the public, provoke unrest, and interfere with ongoing police investigations. 'The statement also threatens the safety and dignity of the victim's family and the slandered individuals,' he said. Jinori said he identified the post on a Facebook account on July 30, which alleged Mohd Arifin's child was involved in the incident. 'Mohd Arifin's child never attended the school in question. This accusation is completely untrue and could create negative public perception,' he explained. He urged authorities to investigate the Facebook account, which also claimed the student was the granddaughter of the Sabah Head of State and the child of Mohd Arifin. Both Banjimin and Jinori requested legal action under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, Sections 499–500 of the Penal Code (defamation) and Section 504 of the Penal Code (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace). They further called on the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to act against the account owner and those spreading the defamatory content. Besides the named account, they identified several others uploading identical content and have submitted details to relevant parties. The leaders hope all state and federal authorities, including cyber law enforcement agencies, will take appropriate measures to protect the reputation and safety of the slandered parties, especially concerning the dignity of state leaders and the institution of the Sabah Head of State.

Fear of missing flight leads Chinese national to injure KLIA officer
KUALA LUMPUR: Fear of missing her flight led a Chinese national to injure an immigration officer during a departure inspection at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on Wednesday. A source said that at the time of the incident, the woman was with family members, including her two children, at the immigration counter. "The woman and her family arrived late at the immigration counter as they were rushing to catch their flight home to Pudong, China, at 7.25pm. "At the counter, the woman was asked to step aside for further checks as there was no record of her entry into Malaysia," the source said. According to the source, anger and fear of missing the flight caused the woman to suddenly create a commotion by raising her voice, pulling the headscarf of the officer on duty, and forcefully pushing the officer's head against a pole in front of the counter. "The woman was detained after the officer sought assistance from other officers on duty," the source added. Meanwhile, Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar, when contacted, confirmed this. "Yes… the delay was due to the need for further checks, which angered the woman. "She and her family were in a hurry as they feared missing their flight," he said. Yesterday, the Chinese national was arrested for acting aggressively and injuring an immigration counter officer during a departure inspection at KLIA. The incident occurred at about 7.40pm at the KLIA Terminal 1 Departure Hall when four Chinese nationals — two adults and two children — were undergoing immigration departure checks. The Chinese national is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code (obstructing a public servant), Section 332 (causing hurt to a public servant), and Section 353 (using criminal force against a public servant).
