PETALING JAYA: A warden at a tahfiz centre who previously slapped a student for eating bread without permission was fined RM1,200 by the Kemaman Magistrates' Court today.
Magistrate Sharifah Amirda Shasha Amir Sharifuddin handed down the sentence after the accused, Mohd Norzaizhul Zainudin, pleaded guilty to the charges read out in court, Kosmo reported.
The 41-year-old was charged with slapping the victim on both the left and right sides of the face, causing injury.
The incident reportedly took place at the tahfiz centre in Kemaman at 3.45pm on 26 April this year.
The accused was charged under Section 323 of the Penal Code for assault which carries a penalty of up to one year's imprisonment, a maximum fine of RM2,000, or both, upon conviction.
The prosecution was led by deputy public prosecutor Lim Zhan Yi, while the accused was represented by lawyer Masliela Ismail.
Kemaman district police chief, Superintendent Mohd Razi Rosli, previously stated that the 16-year-old student was slapped for breaking the rules by eating bread that had been set aside for breakfast the following day.
The student was admitted to Kemaman Hospital for further treatment.
On April 27, the student lodged a police report at the Kemaman district police headquarters at 9.50am.
The accused was reportedly appointed as a warden at the tahfiz centre in December 2024.

Retired nurse loses more than RM100k of husband's savings to scammers
KUANTAN: A 72-year-old retired nurse from Bentong, Pahang lost RM111,044 of her husband's savings after being duped by scammers who convinced her that her bank account was linked to money laundering activities. Her ordeal began on May 29 when she received a phone call from someone who claimed to be an officer from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). The caller claimed that RM210,000 had been mistakenly deposited in the victim's account and that the funds were linked to money laundering activities. The call was then transferred to a man, who introduced himself as 'Inspector Zamri', supposedly from the Pahang police headquarters. The so-called inspector told her that the matter would be referred to Bank Negara Malaysia for further investigation. The victim was instructed to surrender her ATM cards and PIN numbers by placing them in a parcel outside her house. She was told that an officer from the Bentong police headquarters would come by to collect it. Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the victim only realised that she had been scammed when she went to her bank to make a withdrawal. That's when she discovered that her savings had been wiped out. She lodged a police report yesterday. Yahaya urged the public to remain vigilant and to verify the authenticity of any suspicious phone calls by contacting the police or relevant government agencies.

More than 100 police reports lodged over alleged coffee vending machine investment scam
KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor police have received 101 reports over an alleged investment scam involving coffee vending machines. State police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the scam had resulted in losses totalling RM6.7 million between January and April this year. He said 10 investigation papers have been opened under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating, while the remaining 91 reports have been linked with existing investigations under the same section. "Investigations revealed that victims were given explanations and representations regarding a self-service vending machine investment offered by the suspects. "The investment was based on the purchase of vending machines with promises of high returns," he said in a statement today. He said the victims, convinced by the explanations, deposited payments into accounts provided by the suspects. "The victims were unaware whether the investment existed, as initially, some victims received returns, but over time, no further payments were made," he said. Hussein said the completed investigation papers were submitted to the deputy public prosecutor's office, which decided that no criminal charges would be pursued under fraud provisions. He said the investors were advised to pursue civil action against the companies for breach of contract to recover their funds. Police have urged the public to be cautious of investment schemes that promise unrealistic profits, particularly those made through financial or investment applications not approved by Bank Negara Malaysia or the Securities Commission. Members of the public who suspect any suspicious calls or investments are encouraged to contact the National Scam Response Centre.

RM6.7 million lost in Selangor coffee vending machine investment fraud
SHAH ALAM: Selangor police have received 101 reports related to coffee vending machine investment fraud cases, involving total losses amounting to RM6.7 million, from January to April this year. State police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said initial investigations found that the victims were enticed by detailed explanations and representations about the vending machine investment offered by the suspect, which allegedly promised high returns. He said those who were convinced by the scheme proceeded to join the investment programme and made payments into bank accounts provided by the suspect. 'The victims were unsure whether the investment was legitimate. Initially, they received some returns, but over time, the payments stopped,' he said in a statement today. The cases were being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. Hussein said the investigation papers had been referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor's Office, which decided that no charges would be filed under fraud-related offences. In light of this, he advised the complainants to pursue civil action to contest any breach of the contract agreement signed with the investment company and to recover their investments. He also reminded the public to be cautious of investment schemes promising unrealistic returns, especially those promoted through financial apps or platforms not approved by Bank Negara Malaysia or the Securities Commission Malaysia. For verification, advice, or to lodge a complaint, the public can contact the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) at 997.
