Housewife charged with possession of 205 M'sian passports, fake MyKad
SHAH ALAM: A 41-year-old housewife pleaded not guilty at a Magistrates' Court here Thursday (Aug 7) to three charges of possessing 205 Malaysian passports, MyKad belonging to three men, and one fake MyKad last month. N. Paarvathy entered the plea after the charges were read out before Magistrate Muhammad Syafiq Sulaiman. According to the first charge, she was accused of being in possession of 205 Malaysian passports under Section 12(1)(f) of the Passports Act 1966, which carries a maximum fine of RM10,000, imprisonment of up to five years, or both, upon conviction. For the second and third charges, she was accused of possessing a fake MyKad in the name of a 24-year-old man, as well as three MyKads belonging to men aged 19, 21, and 31 years old, without a reasonable excuse. The offences were allegedly committed at a condominium unit in Taman Puchong Hartamas, Puchong, at 12.10am on July 11. The second and third charges were brought under Regulations 25(1)(o) and 25(1)(e) of the National Registration Regulations 1990, which carry a maximum penalty of three years' imprisonment, a fine of up to RM20,000, or both, upon conviction. Deputy Public Prosecutor Norhidayah Abdullah Sani proposed that bail be set at RM30,000 for all charges, with an additional condition that the accused report to the nearest police station once a month. However, the accused's counsel, Yogamani M. Marappan, appealed for minimum bail, citing that his client was unemployed and financially dependent on her husband. The magistrate allowed bail at RM15,000 for all charges with one surety, and fixed case mention for Sept 22. - Bernama

Man fined RM30,000 for beating pet dog in viral video
KUALA LUMPUR: A man who went viral for beating his pet dog, Lucky, with a wooden stick and rubber hose was fined RM30,000 by the Ampang Sessions Court. Judge Norshila Kamarudin handed down the sentence to air-conditioning technician Kiew Mun Kiat, 43. The court ordered him to serve six months in jail if he failed to pay the fine, which he later settled. The dog was forfeited to the government for adoption through the Selangor Veterinary Services Department. Kiew was charged with brutally assaulting a male German Shepherd at his home in Pandan Indah on July 31. The charge falls under Section 29(1)(a) of the Animal Welfare Act 2015. The offence carries a fine of between RM20,000 and RM100,000, or up to three years in jail, or both. A resident recorded footage of Kiew hitting the dog between 5.29 pm and 5.41 pm on July 31. The video was later uploaded and went viral on social media. A joint inspection by the Selangor Veterinary Services Department and Ampang Jaya police led to the discovery of the tied-up dog. A wooden stick and rubber hose were also found in the house compound. A physical examination on August 1 revealed a wound on the dog's left leg, along with hair loss and skin redness. Prosecuting officer Mohd Sharif Sabran urged the court to impose a heavy sentence due to public interest. He stated that Kiew repeatedly beat the dog, causing injuries that could traumatise the animal. The prosecution also requested the dog be forfeited for adoption by qualified individuals. Kiew, who was unrepresented, appealed for a lighter sentence, citing family support responsibilities. He claimed he beat the dog to teach it a lesson after it bit his hand. - Bernama
