18-year-old nabbed for impersonating policeman in Merlimau
Jasin police chief Superintendent Mohamad Rusli Mat said the suspect was arrested at a supermarket near the Telok Mas Industrial area at about 9pm yesterday, following a report lodged earlier.
"At about 2am on the day of the incident, the 19-year-old victim was approached by a suspect on a red-and-black motorcycle who claimed to be a police officer.
"The suspect asked for her driving licence and tried to grab her motorcycle key, but the victim refused and insisted they go to the Merlimau police station if he wanted to take further action. The suspect then fled the scene," he said in a statement here today.
Rusli said the suspect confessed during interrogation that his motive was only to intimidate the victim, and that he had impersonated a police officer on two occasions in the Merlimau area.
He said police also seized a motorcycle believed to have been used during the incident, along with several items, while the suspect has been remanded for three days from July 19 to assist in investigations under Section 170 of the Penal Code for impersonating a public servant.

[UPDATED] Chinese student in private university stabbing case risks permanent disability, says lawyer
KUALA LUMPUR: A Chinese student is at risk of permanent disability after suffering a severe neck injury allegedly inflicted by her ex-boyfriend in a knife attack at a private university two weeks ago. Her lawyers said the attack caused severe nerve damage to 20-year-old Wu Jialin's left hand, with doctors expressing little hope for full recovery. Lawyers Muhamad Saifullah Muhamad Azmi, Chew Sin Yee, Mohd Safwan Saleh and M. Partiben have been acting for Wu's family since the incident. The legal team has been holding a watching brief during the remand and charge proceedings of the accused, You Wei, also from China, who was charged with causing grievous hurt against Wu with a dangerous weapon. Speaking on behalf of Wu's mother, the lawyers said Jialin sustained a deep, 10cm wound to her neck, requiring over 40 stitches. "Due to excessive blood loss in the lungs and chest, a chest tube had to be inserted to drain the accumulated blood. "She is in severe pain and unable to sleep," the lawyers said. They said the police had recorded Jialin's statement at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre in Petaling Jaya, where she is being treated, last week. "She was traumatised and cried when asked by the investigating officer about the incident and when she was shown pictures of it. "Investigators spent three to four hours recording her statement." On July 21, You, 20, claimed trial to the charge before Shah Alam Sessions Court Judge Norazlin Othman. He was accused of committing the offence against Wu using a dangerous weapon, which could have caused her death, at 6.30pm at a university in Bandar Sunway on July 14. The charge, under Section 326 of the Penal Code, carries a maximum jail term of 20 years and a fine or whipping upon conviction. You's lawyer, Revin Kumar, said his client is a third-year student at the university and that he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and is receiving treatment at a private clinic. The court set Sept 17 for mention. Wu was reportedly involved in a confrontation when You allegedly stabbed her in the neck with a knife. Viral videos of the incident show university students rushing to assist her, attempting to stop the bleeding from her neck, while several male students restrained the suspect.
