Authorities seek help to trace mum of three siblings

YAN: The Social Welfare Department is appealing for help to trace the mother of three children who have been under guardianship since they were left behind during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.
The children — Nurul Ain Abdullah, 16, Muhammad Fazli Abdullah, 14, and Mahathir Abdullah, 12 — were left without identification documents except for birth certificates indicating non-Malaysian citizenship.
Their guardian, Abdul Rahman Abd Rahim, told authorities that the mother, Milah Nurwanto, 47, left the children during the Movement Control Order (MCO) in 2020 and has not been in contact since.
Her last known address was at Taman Desa Makmur in Hulu Langat, Selangor.
Yan Social Welfare Department child protector Zaty Farhany Muhammad Fauzi said the children were currently under a temporary custody order granted under Section 19(2)(b) of the Child Act 2001 (Amendment 2016).
"We have yet to locate the children's mother. We are appealing to members of the public who may have any information to come forward," she said in a statement today.

Four Malaysians still held in Thailand, awaiting travel documents

RANTAU PANJANG: Federal police Narcotics Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan has confirmed that four Malaysian nationals detained by Thai authorities last year remain in Thailand as of today. He said they are currently at the Sungai Golok Immigration Office, awaiting the reactivation of their travel documents. "Two of the six Malaysians, including singer Eda Ezrin, returned to Malaysia late this afternoon. "The remaining four are still at the immigration office in Golok, Thailand, pending passport clearance," he told the New Straits Times when contacted tonight. Hussein said the four are expected to return to Malaysia tomorrow, once their documentation is in order. The six Malaysians were reportedly detained by Thai police in November last year during a raid at a hotel in Sungai Golok town. Thai police also seized 6,059 Yaba pills from the group. It is learnt that the four still at the Sungai Golok immigration office are Eda Ezrin's husband Mohd Affendi Ahmad, Mohamad Alif Deraman, Erdieka Mohd Noor, and Zuhaira Nasrin. Eda Ezrin and her friend Nur Aida Mamat returned to Kelantan this evening but were taken to the Rantau Panjang police station to have their statements recorded.

Housewife charged with 205 passports, fake MyKad in Shah Alam

SHAH ALAM: A 41-year-old housewife denied three charges related to possessing 205 Malaysian passports and fake identity cards in court today. N Paarvathy entered her plea before Magistrate Muhammad Syafiq Sulaiman at the Magistrates' Court here. The first charge involved possession of 205 passports under Section 12(1)(f) of the Passports Act 1966. If convicted, she faces a maximum fine of RM10,000, up to five years' jail, or both. The second and third charges involved a fake MyKad and three genuine MyKads belonging to other individuals. The offences allegedly occurred at a condominium in Taman Puchong Hartamas on July 11. The second charge falls under Regulation 25(1)(o) of the National Registration Regulations 1990. The third charge was framed under Regulation 25(1)(e) of the same law. Conviction under these regulations carries up to three years' jail, a RM20,000 fine, or both. Deputy public prosecutor Norhidayah Abdullah Sani proposed RM30,000 bail with monthly police reporting. Defence counsel Yogamani M Marappan requested lower bail, citing the accused's unemployment and financial dependence. Magistrate Muhammad Syafiq set bail at RM15,000 with one surety.

Hong Kong man jailed for four years and eight months for killing daughter in manslaughter

An elderly Hong Kong man has been jailed for four years and eight months for strangling his daughter to death three years ago after being provoked into committing the act. The High Court on Wednesday sentenced security guard Chan Kwai-sang to a term close to the period he had spent in custody, allowing for his early release. The defendant will be eligible for early release on grounds of his industry and good conduct during his three years and five months in custody, but subject to the prison service's discretion and a legal provision that requires the defendant to spend an additional 31 days behind bars. Earlier this year, a seven-member jury cleared the 74-year-old of murdering his daughter, Chan Hang-sze, but convicted him of the lesser charge of manslaughter on the basis of her provocation. The trial heard the defendant had frequent quarrels with his 32-year-old daughter and ex-wife over trivial matters when they lived together in a flat in Mong Kok's Hoi Fu Court in the lead-up to the killing on March 7, 2022. The defendant said his jobless daughter, who had autism and bipolar disorder, had prevented him from going to the toilet in the early hours that day, forcing him to urinate in the kitchen instead. The deceased later woke her father and repeatedly blamed him for not flushing the toilet and putting his slippers in the incorrect place. The father claimed he was scolded for nearly two hours, during which his daughter also hit him with an umbrella eight to 10 times. The defendant said he strangled his daughter in her sleep before daybreak after thinking things over for an hour. After his arrest, he apologised to police and said he could no longer bear the stress of living with his daughter. In a subsequent interview, he said he first thought about killing his daughter two years earlier, adding the altercation on March 7 was 'the final straw'. Dr Paul Tam Mo-shing, a psychiatrist who testified as an expert witness, assessed that the accused had been suffering from a moderate level of adjustment disorder, which was likely caused by a combination of his introverted personality, the stresses of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the prolonged physical and verbal abuse by his daughter. Tam noted the pandemic had forced the defendant to spend more time together with his daughter, increasing the risk of family conflicts. A presentencing psychiatric assessment concluded that Chan was fit to receive outpatient psychiatric treatment and that a hospital order was unnecessary. Madam Justice Amanda Woodcock said on Wednesday that the defendant's reaction to the prolonged provocation was 'not out of proportion' to the degree of the provocation involved. She said the case was a tragedy for everyone involved and noted the accused would have to bear the guilt of killing his daughter for the rest of his life. 'Although the court is under a duty to impose a punishment for unlawfully taking a life that is appropriate to the circumstances, this is one of those cases where I can temper justice with mercy,' the judge added. The court started sentence at seven years' imprisonment and knocked off one-third of the term to reflect Chan's guilty plea to the lesser charge before the trial. The defendant is expected to complete his sentence shortly having been detained since the killing. Murder carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment, as opposed to manslaughter, for which defendants can usually avoid a lifetime behind bars. - SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST
