Sook Fire and Rescue station chief Faisal Ahmad said the woman was discovered by another plantation worker with firefighters at around 7.30am. The station received an emergency call on Thursday reporting that the woman had not returned after heading to her plantation by car at 6am. Her daughter, who made the call, said it was unusual for the woman not to return home by 5pm, prompting concern among the family and villagers. Search efforts began that night after her car was found, with the Fire and Rescue team launching an SAR operation alongside villagers, though she was only found the next morning. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Published on: Thursday, June 12, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jun 12, 2025 By: V Anbalagan, FMT Text Size: The High Court in Kuala Lumpur ruled that the prosecution failed to prove that Yusoff Rawther had knowledge, custody, and control of the drugs and fake pistols. (Bernama pic) Kuala Lumpur: Former research assistant Yusoff Rawther, who had been held on remand for nine months, walked out a free man today after the High Court acquitted him of drug trafficking and possession of two imitation pistols. Justice Jamil Hussin said the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case on both charges, as it did not prove all elements of the offences with credible evidence. Advertisement 'The prosecution failed to prove that Yusoff had knowledge, custody, and control of the drugs and fake pistols. 'The accused is acquitted and discharged without being called to enter his defence,' Jamil said after hearing oral submissions. Yusoff was accused of trafficking in 305g of cannabis found in his vehicle when it was parked in front of the Kuala Lumpur police surau at 10.15am on Sept 6, 2024. The drugs were allegedly wrapped in a black plastic bag. He was also charged with possessing the fake pistols outside the Senada Condominium on Jalan Bukit Kiara at 9.25am the same day.

Wanita PKR urges action after FB group found sharing pics of children
Wanita PKR urges action after FB group found sharing pics of children PETALING JAYA: Wanita PKR has urged swift action against anything that perpetuates sexual crimes against minors after the discovery of a Facebook group sharing photos of underage schoolchildren. The party wing demanded that the police, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), and women, family and community development ministry take immediate and serious action on the matter. Advertisement 'Wanita PKR also calls on parents and all of society to be constantly alert and responsible for the safety of children from sexual violence. '(This includes) monitoring social media for groups with elements of obscenity, grooming and sexual harassment, and for comments that insult the modesty of children,' it said in a statement today. SPONSORED CONTENT The 'Group Budak2 Sekolah Rendah' page, now inaccessible, had over 12,000 members and many explicitly sexual comments and captions on its photos. The images included underage students wearing primary and secondary school uniforms, traditional wear, sports attire, and casual clothing. Advertisement The issue came to light after rapper Ariz Ramli, better known as Caprice, was notified of the group's existence via an Instagram message. The group was then reported to MCMC as well as the police. Influencer Wee Yun Nee, also known as Mekyun, spoke out about the issue as well after realising that photos from her childhood were also circulating on the page. Advertisement The group's circulation of children's images without consent for the purpose of inciting sexual harassment violates both the Child Act 2001 and Section 211 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which pertains to 'offensive content'.
