S'gor police open inquiry paper to identify crimes linked to eHATI
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said several witnesses will be called soon to obtain confirmation include the use of water that allegedly caused hallucinations.
"Currently, information has only been obtained from third parties and the police will call up any individual involved to prove whether there criminal offences exist.
"As such, the police will open an investigation paper to secure direct statements and confirmation about the use of certain water or other offences under the Penal Code," he said when contacted today.
He said the police are working with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) according to their jurisdictions to obtain vital facts about the allegations against eHATI.
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari was reported to have asked Jais to look into allegations of immoral activities occurring during the organisation of eHATI programmes at a convention centre here and Jais director Datuk Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad issued a statement stating that the case was being investigated under Section 7 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995.

Teoh Beng Hock's family rejects A-GC explanation letter on court ruling
KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) has written a letter to the family of the late Teoh Beng Hock in an effort to clarify the Court of Appeal's decision, which ruled that his death was the result of an unlawful act by one or several unknown persons. Attorney-General Datuk Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar said the letter also provided an explanation on the burden of proof and other related matters, but the family had rejected the explanation. "We sent the letter a few months ago. The contents largely explained the Court of Appeal's decision, the burden of proof, and other matters. "I cannot disclose the full details of the letter, but we have made efforts to reach out to the family, and they have refused to accept it," he said. Dusuki was asked to comment on his previous statement, in which he said the A-GC would be sending a letter to Teoh's family to address the circumstances surrounding his death, which occurred 16 years ago. Teoh died on July 16, 2009 on the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam, after being questioned for hours by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). An inquest was held and the coroner returned an open verdict. However, the Court of Appeal in 2014 ruled that his death was caused by "one or more persons unknown", including MACC officers. In 2019, police launched an investigation under Section 342 of the Penal Code for wrongful confinement. Prior to 2018, two special investigation teams were set up – one in 2011 and the other in 2015 – to look into Teoh's death, but both cases were classified as NFA by the public prosecutor. It was reported recently that the MACC had issued an apology to Teoh's family over his death at its Selangor office while under investigation. Its Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki had said the commission deeply regretted the tragedy and acknowledged the pain and suffering endured by Teoh's family. He had also said that the MACCis prepared to provide a goodwill contribution to the late Teoh's family for the purpose of supporting the welfare and educational needs of his child.

Elderly man loses RM158k to phone scam in Ipoh
IPOH: A 73-year-old man lost RM158,000 after falling victim to a phone scam involving fraudsters posing as insurance agents and police officers. Ipoh police chief ACP Abang Zainal Abidin Abang Ahmad said the victim received a call from someone claiming to represent an insurance company, informing him of unpaid arrears. The call was then transferred to a man posing as a police officer from the Petaling Jaya District Police Headquarters. 'The victim was told that he was involved in a money laundering involving more than RM2 million, and an arrest warrant had been issued,' said Abang Zainal Abidin. Panicked by the threat of arrest, the victim was instructed to transfer money to several bank accounts to 'facilitate investigations.' He made 12 transactions totaling RM158,000 before realizing he had been scammed. The victim lodged a police report yesterday, and the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. Authorities urge the public to remain cautious of unsolicited calls demanding payments. - Bernama
