Trailer carrying empty cooking gas cylinders crashes into railway bridge
KUALA KRAI: A trailer carrying 950 empty cooking gas cylinders crashed into the metal barrier of a railway bridge on Jalan Sultan Yahya Petra here on Sunday.
The incident occurred at 3.21pm when the 4.3-metre-tall trailer attempted to pass under a structure with a maximum clearance of 4.1 metres, Buletin Utama reported.
District police chief Superintendent Mazlan Mamat said the heavy vehicle was travelling from Pengkalan Chepa, Kota Baru, to Seremban and was heading towards the town centre when it struck the bridge barrier.

"No injuries were reported," he said in a statement.
He said the trailer driver was issued a summons under Rule 10 LN 166/59 for failing to control the vehicle.
"If found guilty, the driver may face a fine of not less than RM2,000 or imprisonment not exceeding six months," he said.

Court to hear Muhyiddin's reference bid on August 28
Published on: Wednesday, June 04, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jun 04, 2025 By: Ho Kit Yen, FMT Text Size: Former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin is accused of making seditious statements during the Nenggiri by-election in Gua Musang, Kelantan, last year. (Bernama pic) Kuala Lumpur: The High Court here will hear Muhyiddin Yassin's bid to refer legal questions to the apex court on the validity of certain provisions under the Sedition Act on Aug 28. The former prime minister is accused of making seditious statements during the Nenggiri by-election in Gua Musang, Kelantan, last year. Justice Jamil Hussin fixed the date after lawyer Joshua Tay, appearing for Muhyiddin, told the court that the defence and prosecution had agreed on the date. The court then instructed the prosecution and defence to file their submissions by Aug 14. Deputy public prosecutor Razali Che Ani appeared for the prosecution. Muhyiddin allegedly said he was not invited by the then Yang di-Pertuan Agong to be sworn in as prime minister following the 2022 general election, despite having obtained the majority support of 115 MPs. If found guilty, the Perikatan Nasional chairman and Bersatu president will face a jail term that could extend to three years or a maximum fine of RM5,000. Muhyiddin was initially charged at the Gua Musang sessions court in August last year. On Nov 27, Justice Azmi Abdullah allowed his application to have the case transferred to the Kuala Lumpur High Court. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

[UPDATED] High Court rejects Anwar's bid to refer constitutional questions to federal court [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has failed in his bid to refer eight constitutional questions to the Federal Court regarding the legal provisions on the immunity of a sitting prime minister. High Court Judge Roz Mawar Rozain dismissed the application, ruling that it did not meet the requirements under Section 84 of the Courts of Judicature Act (CJA). "Having considered the affidavits, the eight proposed questions, and submissions of all parties (both written and oral), this court is not satisfied that the statutory threshold under Section 84 of the CJA is met. "The questions posed are speculative, not necessary to the disposal of this case, and do not concern the interpretation or validity of any constitutional provision," she said in her decision. Anwar's application is linked to a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him four years ago by his former research officer, Muhammed Yusoff Rawther. The trial is scheduled to begin on June 16. Roz Mawar said the proposed constitutional questions failed to meet the statutory threshold under the section, and that not every question referencing the Federal Constitution warrants referral. "The Federal Court is not a forum for speculative advisory opinions. "Furthermore, the defendant (Anwar) has affirmed readiness to proceed with trial and there is no evidence that the suit impairs his ability to perform constitutional duties. "This court finds no special circumstances warranting a stay of proceedings," she said. Roz Mawar awarded RM20,000 in costs to Yusoff Rawther. She also ruled that the June 16 trial will proceed. After the proceedings, Anwar's lawyer Datuk Seri Rajasegaran Krishnan said they will file a notice of appeal at the Court of Appeal. On May 23, Anwar applied to the High Court to refer eight legal questions to the Federal Court, which included whether he possesses immunity from a civil suit filed by Yusoff. Anwar had sought the apex court to rule whether Articles 5,8, 39,40 and 43 of the constitution grant him qualified immunity from Yusoff's suit. Yusoff had filed the suit before Anwar became prime minister on Nov 24, 2022. Anwar had asked the court to decide whether Yusoff's suit would impair the effective discharge of his executive duties and undermine the constitutional separation of powers. Anwar had also requested the court to consider whether the lawsuit impacts his ability to carry out executive duties and undermines the principle of separation of powers guaranteed by the constitution. Previously, Anwar's senior political secretary Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin had said there was no attempt in the application to seek absolute immunity. He said Anwar's application to the Federal Court is a lawful process to seek clarity from the court on his position in carrying out official duties when facing a civil suit based on claims that precede his appointment as prime minister. Shamsul Iskandar had said the issue is whether such civil action could interfere with the efficiency of a prime minister in carrying out the executive functions of the state. He had said it is a legitimate and lawful matter to be referred to the Federal Court, the highest judicial institution in the country, with the jurisdiction to interpret the constitution fairly and objectively.

Former TV station employee faints while facing 743 data tampering charges
KUALA LUMPUR: A former television station employee fainted in the dock after part of the 743 charges of data tampering involving the company's customer management system were read out to her in the Sessions Court here today. Nora Idayu Jaafar, 48, who was serving with Astro at the time, collapsed and fainted as the court interpreter was reading the 30th charge under the Computer Crimes Act 1997 before Judge Norma Ismail. The court then set June 26 for the reading of the remaining 713 charges, after the accused pleaded not guilty to the first 30. The court allowed Nora Idayu bail of RM10,000 with one surety, with the added conditions that she must surrender her passport to the court until the case is concluded and report to the nearest police station once a month. According to the 30 charges, in her capacity as an associate with the Department of Commercial Support Unit at Astro, she allegedly modified data by converting 30 ordinary customer accounts into corporate accounts in the Astro customer management system (AMDOCS CRM), resulting in unauthorised database alterations. The offences were allegedly committed at the Astro Office at Menara Icon, Jalan Tun Razak here. The charges, under Section 5 (1) of the Computer Crimes Act 1997, provide for a penalty of up to RM100,000 fine or imprisonment of up to seven years, or both, upon conviction. The prosecution was conducted by deputy public prosecutor Rohaiza Abdul Rahman, while the accused was unrepresented.
