Sarawak Customs seizes RM11.88 million in contraband cigarettes
KUCHING: The Royal Malaysian Customs Department Sarawak branch has seized undeclared cigarettes with a total value estimated at RM11,880,000. This figure includes both the goods' value and the tax evaded. The raid occurred at a warehouse in Demak Industrial Park last month. Director Norizan Yahya confirmed the operation's details. A team from the Land Operations Unit and the headquarters' intelligence branch conducted the raid on July 29 at about 4 pm. They also arrested a man in his 50s believed to be the warehouse manager. 'An inspection revealed various brands of cigarettes believed to have been brought in from Indonesia as prohibited goods stored in the premises,' he stated. 'The seizure was estimated at RM3.6 million while total duty and tax was RM8.28 million, making the total seizure worth RM11.88 million,' he said at a press conference. He clarified the legal status of the goods. Cigarettes are categorised as prohibited goods under the Customs (Prohibition of Imports) Order 2023. Their importation requires a specific permit. He detailed the syndicate's method of operation. Their modus operandi was to conceal contraband in premises storing licenced goods. The prohibited goods were then transported elsewhere for distribution. The investigation is being conducted under Section 135 (1)(d) of the Customs Act 1967. This section pertains to concealing uncustomed goods. If convicted, offenders face a fine not exceeding RM500,000 or imprisonment for up to five years, or both penalties. - Bernama

Psychiatric examination for foreign student who ran amok with knife
KAJANG: The university student who was charged with eight counts of attempted murder and causing injury to seven victims has been ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluation for one month. Sessions Court Judge Normastura Ayub and Magistrate Fatin Dayana Jalil made the ruling after allowing an application by Deputy Public Prosecutors Faelly Jeffrey Lanjungan and Siti Nur Alia Safri, who said the accused, Chinese national Liu Ting, 24, appeared confused and did not understand the charges read out. The court did not allow bail for the accused and ordered the woman to be sent to Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta, Tanjung Rambutan in Perak for a psychiatric examination, in addition to setting case mention for Sept 19. Previously, Faelly did not offer bail because the charges against the accused were serious and non-bailable and also requested that the accused be sent to Hospital Bahagia for psychiatric evaluation. In the Sessions Court, Liu pled not guilty to three charges, namely intent to murder two men, aged 19 and 21, and causing injury to a 35-year-old woman, and if the accused had caused death, she would be guilty of murder. The charge is under Section 307 of the Penal Code, which carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison and a fine. If the act causes injury to any person, the offender will be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted. She also pleaded not guilty to other two charges of causing grievous bodily harm to a 60-year-old woman by slashing her right arm with a knife and stabbing a 27-year-old man in the stomach. Both charges were filed under Section 326 of the Penal Code, which provides for a prison sentence of up to 20 years and a fine or whipping, if convicted. Meanwhile, in the Magistrate's Court, the accused was also charged with causing injury to two men, aged 21 and 49, as well as a woman aged 53. Liu understood the three charges read out by the interpreter but remained silent. All three charges are under Section 324 of the Penal Code, which provides for a maximum imprisonment of 10 years or a fine or whipping or any two of those punishments, if convicted. The eight offences were allegedly committed at Jalan Besar, at the Semenyih Persimpangan Metropoint junction and at a premises in the Metropoint Complex here, between 11.39am and noon on Aug 13. A video of the incident went viral on social media, showing a woman exiting her vehicle holding a knife after she was involved in an accident. Several injured motorcyclists could be seen and as bystanders tried to restrain the woman. – Bernama

Malaysian thief shows 'courtesy' by leaving replacement helmet
A young Malaysian man got an unexpected lesson in criminal 'courtesy' when a thief stole his motorcycle helmet but thoughtfully left behind a replacement - albeit one completely devoid of padding. The unusual theft occurred when the victim briefly left his motorcycle outside a shop to grab a drink, only to return and discover his helmet had been swapped for what he humorously described as a 'budget-friendly skull crusher.' The replacement helmet, lacking any sponge padding, essentially transformed into what the victim called 'a stylish plastic bucket for his head.' 'I mean, if you're going to steal my helmet, at least leave me one with some padding, bro. Now how am I supposed to ride back? Where do I even put my face?' the victim said in a video, chuckling at his predicament while awkwardly strapping on the oversized helmet. 'It's early in the morning, and this is what you decide to do with your life?' he added, displaying a mix of amusement and exasperation. Taking the bizarre situation in stride, the man even offered a creative blessing for the thief: 'May you be cursed with eternal hemorrhoids and restless nights.' The helmet, which the victim noted 'fits like a cooking pot,' was so loose it could 'probably do a full 360 on his head with a sneeze.' The 56-second video, uploaded to the Facebook page 'Apakes' on August 19, has captured widespread attention across Malaysian social media with over 6,000 views, more than 1,000 shares and over 12,000 likes at the time of writing. The incident has resonated with Malaysian social media users, who have praised the victim's good humour despite the inconvenience. The video showcases the characteristic Malaysian ability to find comedy in frustrating situations. While the incident provided entertainment, it highlights legitimate safety concerns about unpadded helmets, which offer minimal protection in accidents. Malaysian law requires all motorcyclists to wear proper safety-certified helmets. The story has sparked discussions about motorcycle safety equipment standards, with some users sharing their own experiences with inadequate protective gear. This unusual case of 'considerate criminality' joins a growing collection of viral Malaysian crime stories that blend theft with unexpected thoughtfulness, reflecting unique cultural dynamics in how some crimes unfold. The incident demonstrates how social media can transform everyday frustrations into shared community experiences, with humor serving as a coping mechanism for minor criminal victimisation.
