Trio get picked to pieces online for ‘feeding leftovers' stunt

The Star2 days ago
PETALING JAYA: Several influencers have sparked public outrage after uploading a video that appeared to show them feeding "leftovers" to a homeless man.
In the video, the trio were seen dining at a restaurant before packing their leftover chicken bones together with a packet of rice. They then handed the parcel to a homeless man who was sleeping on the sidewalk.
The man appeared shocked upon opening the packet, but responded with a simple gesture of thanks.
Following a wave of backlash from netizens, the trio issued an apology in a separate video. They claimed the man had been informed about the filming beforehand and had consented to it.
They also clarified that the chicken bones and rice were not intended as his actual meal.
'We had already given him a proper meal, including rice and two pieces of chicken, before filming,' they said.
'We hope Malaysians can forgive us. We are truly sorry.'
The controversial video has since been removed from their social media platforms.

Stop sharing photos of kids supposedly linked to Zara Qairina, warns IGP

KUALA LUMPUR: Bukit Aman has detected the circulation of information and photographs of children linked to the ongoing Zara Qairina Mahathir's case being uploaded and shared on various social media platforms, says Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail. The Inspector-General of Police said the information being disseminated is inaccurate and has the potential to mislead the public. 'This kind of behaviour not only hampers the investigation process but may also interfere with the fair administration of justice,' he said in a statement on Wednesday (Aug 6). He also stressed that all investigative procedures, including the post-mortem process, are being conducted in accordance with established legal provisions and protocols. "We urge the public to refrain from uploading or sharing any unverified information, particularly content related to the ongoing investigation. 'The sharing of false or speculative content could jeopardise the case and cause unnecessary distress,' he added. Sharing of fake and unverified information pertaining to the case is an offence, he said. "It is an offence under Section 15 of the Child Act 2001, which prohibits the publication of any information that could lead to the identification of a child involved in any legal proceedings, Section 203A of the Penal Code for disclosing information obtained in the course of one's duties and Section 233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998 for improper use of network facilities or network services," he said. The IGP said compliance with the law is the foundation of national peace and public well-being. "Firm action will be taken against any individual found to have violated these provisions. "We are committed to ensuring public safety and order are maintained at all times in the interest of all Malaysians," he added.

'Is there something suspicious?' MCA Youth asks after attack on key trial witness

MCA Youth Information Chief Neow Choo Seong said this action is crucial to prevent incidents like the case of the late Teoh Beng Hock from recurring. The victim, a businessman, suffered injuries on his mouth and wrist, while two of his security guards were also tied up by the attackers during the incident. SHAH ALAM – MCA Youth is calling for a relentless hunt for the masterminds behind the assault of a witness in the Penang undersea tunnel corruption trial. The witness was reportedly attacked at his residence. MCA Youth Information Chief Neow Choo Seong said this action is crucial to prevent incidents like the case of the late Teoh Beng Hock from recurring. In a Facebook post, Neow expressed shock over the media reports, which were confirmed by Petaling Jaya District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Jaafar. He said it signals that the safety of Malaysians is at a worrying level, especially when it involves high-profile political leaders and prominent figures. Neow also drew a parallel to the RM6.3 billion Penang undersea tunnel case, where on Oct 5, 2021, another prosecution witness was found dead after allegedly falling from his condominium. 'Once again, it must be stressed that this matter is very serious and cannot be taken lightly, as it concerns human safety and lives. 'Is there something suspicious in this case?," he wrote. On Wednesday, Sinar reported that a witness in the corruption trial was attacked by a group of individuals at his home. Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Jaafar said police received a report about the incident at 7.10am. It is understood that the victim, a businessman, suffered injuries to his mouth and wrist, while two of his security guards were tied up by the attackers. Neow went on to say that Malaysia is a country governed by the rule of law and anyone who commits an offence will not escape punishment. He urged the public to give authorities, particularly the country's security forces, sufficient space to carry out their duties. 'I am confident that the country's security personnel will hunt down the perpetrators to the ends of the earth, bring them to justice and ensure they receive the appropriate punishment,' he said.
