Melaka police seek public help in dog abuse case at Krubong industrial area
Melaka Tengah district police chief Assistant Commissioner Christopher Patit said they received a report about the incident at 2.43pm today.
"The incident is believed to have occurred last Friday at around 3pm when the complainant, along with representatives from several animal welfare NGOs, responded to a tip-off from the public.
"Upon inspection near a factory in the industrial area, the dog was found with serious injuries to its body and neck, suspected to have been caused by abuse," he said in a statement here tonight.
The animal was rushed to a veterinary clinic, but after a thorough examination, it was determined that the injuries were too severe. On the advice of the veterinarian, the dog was euthanised to prevent further suffering.
The case is being investigated under Section 29 of the Animal Welfare Act 2015, which carries penalties of up to RM100,000 in fines, three years of imprisonment, or both.

2 Immigration officers nabbed for taking RM400,000 in bribes
KUANTAN: Two Immigration Department officers have been remanded for allegedly accepting RM400,000 in bribes to allow foreigners arriving at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to enter the country without going through proper procedures. Magistrate Wahidah Zainal Abidin granted a seven-day remand order until Aug 26 after reviewing the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) application at the magistrate's court here today. Sources said the men — both in their 40s — were arrested simultaneously in Nilai, Negri Sembilan and Johor Baru on Monday. The arrests were part of a large-scale MACC operation to cripple the "counter setting" syndicate at KLIA1 and KLIA2. "The suspects are believed to have pocketed hundreds of thousands of ringgit in bribes in exchange for releasing groups of foreigners without following immigration protocols. "They allegedly committed the offence between 2022 and last year. Following their arrest, MACC also seized cash and froze several bank accounts belonging to them," the source said. Pahang MACC director Mohd Shukor Mahmud, when contacted, confirmed the arrests, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009.

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
