Police nab four over armed brawl in Jasin
JASIN: Police have arrested four men for allegedly rioting with a wooden stick and an industrial extension wire by the roadside of Jalan Jasin-Bemban here yesterday. Melaka police chief Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar said in the 9 am incident, the suspects, aged between 20 and 57, were among seven men believed to be involved in the riot, following an accident involving three vehicles. 'Bemban police station received a call around 9 am from a man reporting an accident along the road. The caller also mentioned seeing a man wielding a wooden stick. 'It is believed that the altercation involved seven men as well as an accident with three vehicles, namely a Volkswagen Passat and a Mitsubishi Triton belonging to the group, and a Toyota Vios owned by a member of the public,' he said in a statement today. He said following the brawl, five suspects fled the scene in a dark silver Proton Exora with an unidentified registration number, leaving the Mitsubishi Triton abandoned at the roadside. Dzulkhairi said two suspects were arrested at the scene, while another two were detained later in the compound of the Jasin District Police Headquarters. Initial checks revealed that a 20-year-old suspect had four previous criminal records. However, all suspects tested negative for drugs. 'Further investigations are underway to track down the remaining three suspects. The case is being investigated under Section 148 of the Penal Code for rioting in a public place,' he said. - Bernama

Zara's mum says they ‘panicked'
Published on: Saturday, August 16, 2025 Published on: Sat, Aug 16, 2025 By: Malay Mail Text Size: Kota Kinabalu: The mother of the late Zara Qairina Mahathir, Noraidah Lamat, reportedly said that she was in shock and panic when asked to consent to a post-mortem immediately after her daughter's death. According to a report on New Straits Times, the 45-year-old said there had been no clear explanation of the procedure at the time. 'There was no clear explanation, and we are not familiar with this kind of case. We panicked, and no advice was given about the post-mortem process,' she reportedly wrote in a Facebook comment. 'If we had known, we would not have signed the form refusing the post-mortem,' she reportedly added. Her lawyer, Hamid Ismail, reportedly confirmed that the Facebook account under the handle 'Noie AiDa' belongs to her. Yesterday, Bukit Aman said police had failed to comply with procedure by not initiating a post-mortem, though Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk M. Kumar noted that Noraidah had signed a hospital-issued waiver. Zara died on July 17 at Queen Elizabeth Hospital here. She was found unconscious on July 16 after allegedly falling from the third floor of her school hostel in Papar, Sabah. * 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?
