Jais detains six over deviant 'semi-naked dancing' event
JAIS director Datuk Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad said the suspects, two men and four women aged between 26 and 47, were picked up in Shah Alam on July 18.
He said investigations were opened under Sections 7 (false doctrine), 8 (false claims), 10 (insulting Islam) and 16 (unauthorised religious publications) of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995.
"The investigation was launched following suspicions that a ritual or ceremony contrary to Islamic teachings was held during the programme,' he said in a statement on Thursday (July 24).
To date, JAIS has recorded statements from 38 witnesses and identified 282 participants whose statements will also be taken. Three books and three VCDs seized from the event have been submitted to the Selangor Mufti Department for review.
He said a comprehensive investigation into the programme's full content and module is ongoing, and findings will be submitted to the Selangor Syariah Prosecution Department for further action.
On July 16, Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Hussein Omar Khan confirmed reports of nude scenes involving four women during a segment called 'Queens Night'.
That same day, six individuals, including the husband-and-wife founders of the programme and their child, were remanded for three days to assist in a separate investigation into indecent behaviour and minor offences.- Bernama

Car on drug distribution round in Kuching busted, syabu worth RM3mil seized
KUCHING: The cunning tactic of a drug trafficking syndicate by using cars as "mobile stores" to deliver supplies to buyers was successfully foiled by the police in a special operation conducted in Kota Sentosa on July 19. Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the raid conducted by federal Narcotics Department together with the Sarawak Narcotics Department at 8.50pm also led to the arrest of two local men aged 25 and 27 in a Perodua Alza. He said the syndicate, which is believed to have been active since the beginning of this year, would leave vehicles containing drugs at certain locations unlocked, allowing buyers to collect supplies themselves without any physical interaction, to avoid being detected by the authorities. "The results of the inspection of the vehicle found a black bag and three brown boxes containing 80 packages marked "Guan Yin Wang" containing crystal lumps suspected of being syabu (methamphetamine). "The total seizure is estimated to weigh 83kg with a market value of around RM3.07 million and could potentially harm 415,000 individuals. "Police also seized cash amounting to RM1,100 under the Dangerous Drugs (Forfeiture of Property) Act 1988, making the total seizure worth RM3.072 million," he said at a press conference yesterday. Hussein said initial investigations found that the syndicate obtained drug supplies from Peninsular Malaysia via air routes to be marketed in Sarawak and Kalimantan, Indonesia. "Initial urine screening found that one of the suspects tested positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine, while the other had a criminal record with three offences related to gambling and providing false information. "Both suspects are now remanded for seven days from July 21 to 27 to facilitate further investigations," he said. He said the case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which carries the death penalty or life imprisonment and not less than 12 strokes of the cane if convicted. – Bernama

No documents to justify SRC unit's RM19.5mil transfer to Umno, court told
SRC International's lawyer, Razlan Hadri Zulkifli, told the Kuala Lumpur High Court that Jendela Pinggiran Sdn Bhd's purpose was to 'purely collect money and transfer it out'. KUALA LUMPUR : The High Court heard today that SRC International Sdn Bhd's subsidiary, Jendela Pinggiran Sdn Bhd (JPSB), was a dormant company with only RM500 in its bank account before it received RM43.96 million from its parent company, with no documentation to justify the transfer. SRC International's lawyer, Razlan Hadri Zulkifli, told the court the former directors of JPSB had committed a breach of fiduciary duty following the lack of documents concerning the transfer. 'There were no resolutions, notes, internal memoranda, or even WhatsApp messages … nothing at all related to JPSB. 'JPSB had an opening balance of RM500 in April 2015. That remained the case until July 2015, when SRC International suddenly transferred RM43.96 million into JPSB's bank account. 'Not only were there no documents justifying the amount, obviously there were no documents justifying the RM19.5 million (transferred) to the defendants (Umno),' he said. Razlan was submitting in a suit filed by SRC International and its subsidiaries, JPSB and Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd, against the Umno headquarters and its Selangor chapter to recover RM19.5 million in funds, including RM3.5 million transferred to Selangor Umno. He said that after July 2015, JPSB returned to its 'natural state, very quiet, sitting there with a minimal sum of money in its bank account'. Razlan said there had been no documentation because JPSB's purpose was to 'purely collect money and transfer it out'. The plaintiffs claim that the defendants had dishonestly and knowingly received the funds from JPSB. Umno's lawyer, Shahrul Fazli Kamarulzaman, denied the claim, suggesting that JPSB was a special vehicle with a dedicated account to run corporate social responsibility activities, accept funds for CSR, and disburse them to third parties. He said the earlier examination of former JPSB director Suboh Yassin showed that there were documents available pertaining to the company's activities. 'PW-2 (Suboh Yassin) said there are other documents available outside the bundle, possibly with the authorities or in the plaintiff's office,' he said. The hearing before Justice Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin Shah Raja Mohzan continues on July 30.
