Chinese national nabbed for allegedly assaulting KLIA Immigration officer
SEPANG: A Chinese national has been arrested after allegedly assaulting an Immigration officer during a departure inspection at KL International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 on Wednesday (Aug 13) evening. The incident occurred at about 7.40pm when four Chinese nationals - two adults and two children - approached the departure Immigration counter. Checks revealed that none of them had entry records into Malaysia, prompting the counter officer to refer the matter to a team supervisor for further verification. "Unhappy with being asked to allow other passengers to proceed while checks were ongoing, the female adult suspect reportedly hurled verbal abuse at the officer. "She then grabbed the officer's headscarf and forcefully pushed her head against a pillar in front of the counter," the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) said in a statement on Thursday (Aug 14). A brief scuffle ensued, and the suspect allegedly refused to calm down despite repeated instructions. "Enforcement officers from the AKPS called in the Aviation Security (AvSec) team to bring the situation under control. "The officer sustained swelling around her left eye, a headache on the right side of her head, and body aches. She was later sent to Cyberjaya Hospital for treatment and a medical report," the agency said. Police reports were lodged, and the suspect is now in police custody. "She is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant, Section 332 of the same code for causing hurt to a public servant, and Section 353 of the same code for using criminal force against a public servant," the AKPS said. The AKPS stressed that it would not compromise on any acts of violence, insult, or threats towards officers on duty, and called for appropriate legal action to be taken against the suspect.

Foreign student remanded over Kajang knife attack
KAJANG: Frustration and extreme stress from studying far from home may have driven a 24-year-old university student to go on a rampage here yesterday. The woman allegedly injured several people during the incident, with two still warded in hospital. Kajang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Naazron Abdul Yusof said the suspect has been identified as a student at a public university in Malaysia. "She has been remanded for seven days until Aug 20 to assist in investigations. "So far, statements have been taken from 11 witnesses, including the victims," he said in a statement today. On whether the suspect was under the influence of any substances at the time, Naazron said there was no record of her taking medication or suffering from depression. "However, she appeared to be under stress due to personal issues, but the actual cause of the incident is still under investigation," he said. The two victims who were admitted to hospital are reported to be in stable condition. Earlier, media reports stated that a foreign woman was arrested after running amok and road users with a knife near a shopping mall in Kajang. In the 11.58am incident, the suspect had been driving recklessly when she rammed into three motorcycles at a traffic light intersection. She then exited her car brandishing a knife and attacked people at the scene. The case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder, Section 279 for reckless driving, and Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

Law student faces 8 charges over death, arson and intimidation
SEGAMAT: A law student was brought before the Sessions and magistrate's courts here today to face charges of causing the death of an elderly woman, committing arson, and criminal intimidation. The accused, Chew Hong Joe, 21, a second-year student at a private university in the Klang Valley, faced a total of eight charges. He pleaded not guilty and claimed trial before Judge Rahimah Abd Majid and magistrate Dhilip Nair Atchuthan. On the first charge, he is accused of causing the death of Tan Ah Gek, 72, at a house in Jalan Francis Khoo, Kampung Bukit Siput, at about 4am on July 25. The offence, under Section 304(b) of the Penal Code, carries a maximum prison term of 10 years, or a fine, or both, upon conviction. For the second to sixth charges, Chew allegedly committed mischief by fire using petrol on five houses belonging to victims aged 42, 46, 72, 75 and 77. The alleged offences occurred at the same location, date and time. These charges fall under Section 436 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment and a fine for each count. Deputy public prosecutor Siti Khalijah Khalid appeared for the prosecution, while Harcharanjit Singh represented the accused. The prosecution did not offer bail, citing the seriousness of the offences, which are non-bailable under Section 388 of the Criminal Procedure Code. In the magistrate's court, Chew faced two additional charges under Section 507 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation, allegedly through notices affixed to the gates of two individuals, aged 49 and 54. The incidents are said to have occurred at a place of worship and at a residential property in Jalan Francis Khoo, Kampung Bukit Siput, and Taman Ria, at about 4am and 6.45am respectively. Section 507 provides for a prison term of up to two years for each offence upon conviction. Magistrate Dhilip Nair Atchuthan granted bail of RM8,000 for the two charges. Chew was arrested yesterday. Johor police chief Commissioner Ab Rahaman Arsad said he and his 19-year-old girlfriend were detained in Subang Jaya, Selangor, about a week after the incident.
