Teen accused of causing three deaths to file representations
SEREMBAN: A 17-year-old, who allegedly caused the death of three young motorcyclists due to reckless driving, will file a representation to review the charge.
Lawyer for the accused, Johan Radzi, told this to magistrate Nurul Azuin Mohd Talhah when the case came up for mention.
'We will file a representation after we get the relevant documents from the prosecution,' he said.
On April 22, the accused claimed trial to a charge of causing the deaths of Muhammad Aidil Ramdan Abdullah, 15, Muhammad Aswari Lotpi, 16, and Aisar Azim Abdullah, 17.
The offence was allegedly committed at the Taman Matahari junction along Jalan Persiaran Senawang 1 near here at 8.30pm on March 6.
The charge under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 carries a jail term of between five and 10 years and a fine of between RM20,000 and RM50,000, upon conviction.
The accused had also claimed trial to another charge of driving without a valid licence.
He was charged under Section 26(1) of the same Act, which carries a fine of between RM300 and RM2,000, imprisonment of up to three months or both, upon conviction.
Johan said his client will also be filing a representation for this charge.
The court fixed June 26 to hear the outcome of the representations.

Sukuk misuse case: Tan Sri to be quizzed soon following hospital discharge, says Azam
KUALA LUMPUR: A Tan Sri who is under investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the alleged misappropriation of sukuk funds linked to a Klang Valley highway project is expected to be called in for questioning soon. The individual, who was recently discharged from hospital, is also being investigated for overseas asset ownership and high-stakes gambling activities involving millions of ringgit. MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed that the Tan Sri, who is believed to be a highway concession holder, had yet to give his statement due to recent medical treatment at a private hospital, reported Astro Awani. 'A statement has not yet been recorded from the Tan Sri, but I have been informed that doctors have recently allowed him to be discharged. My officers will be contacting him soon to arrange an appointment,' said Azam on Saturday (June 7). He added that while the individual is a key witness in the case, MACC has already recorded statements from 45 other witnesses, some of whom have been recalled to assist further in the investigation. 'He is indeed one of the individuals we have yet to question, but we already have testimonies from other witnesses. I cannot confirm whether additional witnesses will be required after his statement,' Azam said. According to sources, MACC had earlier obtained medical confirmation from the doctor regarding the Tan Sri's condition before proceeding to plan for his interview. The investigation centres around the suspected misappropriation of sukuk bonds intended for the construction of a highway. On June 3 last year, MACC disclosed that they had seized assets valued about RM143mil from the individual as part of the probe. This included luxury vehicles and properties owned by the Tan Sri, both locally and abroad, including in London and Switzerland. The seized assets comprised 14 personal bank accounts totalling RM4.5mil, eight company accounts with RM33mil, a luxury condominium and a parcel of land valued at RM24.5mil, nine luxury cars worth RM7.65mil, designer watches valued at around RM25mil, handbags worth RM3mil, jewellery and diamonds estimated at RM6mil, and four horses valued at RM400,000. Other seized items include high-end alcoholic beverages worth RM3mil, foreign assets estimated at over RM15mil, and gambling-related activities involving about RM20mil. Azam said asset declaration notices have been handed to the Tan Sri and other related parties.

A case of elderly ‘Puan Sri' who is also Datuk Seri felt ‘entitled' to park her car in neighbour's porch
'I AM a Puan Sri! I also (personally) have a Datuk Seri title'. One wonders if those acquired titles allows a person to behave in a certain manner, including the right to park in a neighbour's porch! In a video that has been making the rounds on social media courtesy of Penang Indian Networks Facebook page, an elderly lady is seen taking umbrage at being asked to move the vehicle. While details of the incident remain sketchy, it does highlight a very negative trait among some Malaysians – that of throwing their weight around because they belong to the 'titled' class. That this matriarch was further flexing her entitled muscle by pulling on her police 'cable' to sort out matters further paints her in an unflattering light. The video which has since garnered 7.4K likes, 4.9K comments, 1.9K shares and 1.3 million views at the time of writing can be watched here. Many were unimpressed by the manner in which this lady threw her weight about by claiming she and her husband were titled individuals. That this even came with parking privileges surprised more than a few. One commenter even applauded this lady's energetic performance in giving an 'ala-TED Talk' lecture! The cable pulling with the cops also left a bad impression of this aunty who is clearly used to having things her own way even though she claimed 'we're decent people'. However, a few cautioned that nobody actually knows what sparked the confrontation. There are always two sides to the story. A few things this video brings up. First and foremost, the act of parking in neighbour's porch is a no-no (not to mention parking in front of someone's main gate). In Malaysia, parking in a neighbour's porch is generally illegal under the Road Transport Act 1987. Specifically, Section 48(1) states that any driver causing an obstruction or inconvenience to other road users is liable for a fine and/or imprisonment. Parking in a way that blocks access to a neighbour's property or obstructs the road falls under this category. Obviously, owning a title does not confer immunity from it. Secondly, the details of what caused this quarrel is unknown. But this video highlights the need for proper decorum and civility as anything and everything can now be captured on today's smart phone. Nevertheless, this elderly aunty's boasting of titles and belligerently claiming 'you can be from China, I'm from London' has painted an incredibly poor picture of her regardless of what sparked the confrontation. 'We aren't loafers' she can be heard proclaiming loudly, but this clip has made her look even worse. Online infamy is surely not what she bargained for. – June 8, 2025

TH Travel denies link with fake Haji package programme
KUALA LUMPUR: TH Travel & Services Sdn Bhd (TH Travel) has denied it's connection with a fake programme known as 'Program Haji Infaq Masyarakat' which allegedly offers TH Travel-managed hajj packages priced at RM123,990 with an initial payment of as little as RM10,000. TH Travel, in a statement, said the company has never appointed any individual, external company or business entity to promote, manage or receive payment on behalf of TH Travel for any hajj or umrah packages. The statement said that as a hajj and umrah travel agency registered and fully regulated by the Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH), all payments related to registration and deposits for hajj packages operated by TH Travel can only be made through TH's official account. 'TH Travel does not offer subsidised or externally sponsored packages that require pilgrims to pay into unofficial or individual accounts. 'TH Travel is not involved in any form of fundraising through cleaning companies, cake businesses or third party intermediaries,' the statement said. TH Travel takes seriously the misuse of the company's name and reputation to deceive Muslims intending to perform the Hajj pilgrimage. 'We understand that a police report has been lodged and an investigation is underway by the authorities and TH Travel is prepared to provide full cooperation to the Royal Malaysia Police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in handling this case,' the statement said.
