Ex-GISBH members leave Selangor following fatwa

SHAH ALAM: Many former members of GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) are believed to have relocated to other states after Selangor declared the group's teachings and network deviant and illegal.
Selangor executive councillor for Islamic religious affairs and innovation Dr Mohammad Fahmi Ngah said children previously placed under GISBH institutions have now been enrolled in public schools.
"We also provide essential support, including school uniforms and basic needs, through zakat distribution," he said, as reported by Kosmo.
Mohammad Fahmi said parents formerly linked to GISBH are now participating in Riqab classes designed to guide them towards proper religious understanding.
On the legal front, he confirmed that investigation papers had been resubmitted to the prosecution office within the past two weeks after additional details were requested.
The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) had detained 108 individuals suspected of involvement with GISBH, most of them investigated under Section 12(c) of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment.

Appellate court affirms Petaling land office unlawfully forfeited developer's land

The Court of Appeal ruled that the Petaling land office had failed to compensate the property developer for the acquisition of a plot of land in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. PUTRAJAYA : The Court of Appeal has affirmed a High Court ruling that the Petaling land office had unlawfully forfeited a plot of land from a property developer. Justice Azimah Omar said the land office failed to compensate SEA Housing Corporation Sdn Bhd for the acquisition of the 2,043.8 sq m plot of land in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, and that it had withheld evidence. Justices Nazlan Ghazali and Faizah Jamaludin also sat on the panel. In dismissing the land office's appeal, the court ordered the developer to be paid RM35,000 in costs. On April 11, 2023, High Court judge K Muniandy held that the forfeiture of the land was unlawful. Muniandy also said the land office's conduct amounted to denying the developer's constitutional right to property. SEA Housing Corporation had in 2016 discovered that it was the registered proprietor of Lot 8914 when there was a demand for outstanding arrears to be settled. The company then sought clarification from the land office and the matter was referred to the land office's technical division. Upon examination of the drawings of Lot 8914, SEA Housing Corporation was informed that the said lot did not exist as it had overlapped with an adjacent lot. This was supported by a report signed by an officer in the land office. However, sometime in August 2018, SEA Housing Corporation discovered that Lot 8914 did not overlap with the adjacent lot and was in fact a separate plot of land by itself. It also discovered that the state authority, through the land office, had forfeited Lot 8914 as a result of the developer's purported failure to pay the quit rent arrears. In December 2018, the developer submitted a petition under the National Land Code to annul the forfeiture of Lot 8914. However, the land office failed to undertake its statutory duties to hear the petition on grounds that it was filed out of time, resulting in a suit being filed in the High Court. The High Court allowed the appeal and ordered the petition to be reheard by the land office. The land office, however, informed the developer's lawyers that the petition had been dismissed and Lot 8914 would be made a public road and reserved for public purposes. SEA Housing Corporation filed a suit in February 2022 seeking various declaratory reliefs and consequential orders arising from the unlawful forfeiture. Assistant state legal advisers Khairuddin Idris and Siti Radziah Kamarudin represented the land office while lawyers Lim Kien Huat and Bryan Ching appeared for the developer.

Court to hear bid to exhume UTM Palapes cadet's body for second post-mortem on Aug 25

SHAH ALAM, Aug 19 —The High Court here today set Aug 25 to hear the notice of motion to exhume the body of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Reserve Officers Training Unit (Palapes) trainee cadet Syamsul Haris Shamsudin for a second post-mortem. Judge Datuk Bhupindar Singh Gurcharan Singh Preet set the date after the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC), named the respondents in the application, requested time to file the affidavit-in-reply. The IGP and the AGC were represented by Senior Federal Counsel Nurul Huda Mohd Salehuddin and Selangor Director of Prosecutions, Kalmizah Salleh, respectively. The two respondents were given until this Friday to file their affidavit-in-reply. Syamsul Haris, 22, died during training at the Army Combat Training Centre in Ulu Tiram on July 28. The Johor police had said that a post-mortem found no signs of criminal injury, but the deceased's mother, Ummu Haiman Bee Daulatgun, 45, called for an inquiry after finding 'mysterious bruises' on her son's body. Ummu Haiman was represented by lawyer Naran Singh. — Bernama
