MMEA seizes tanker carrying diesel illegally
Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) Selangor director Maritime Kapt Abdul Muhaimin Muhammad Salleh said the vessel was detained on Thursday afternoon during a patrol under Ops Ehsan, Ops Murni and Ops Tiris 3.0, about one nautical mile west of Tanjung Harapan, Port Klang.
He said the captain and six crew members held valid identification documents.
'A search found an estimated 62,000 litres of diesel on board. The captain failed to produce any documentation authorising possession of the controlled item.
'A detention order was issued for the vessel with the captain and second engineer taken to the marine police jetty in Pulau Indah,' he said yesterday, Bernama reported.
The case is being probed under the Control of Supplies Act 1961 for failure to produce a valid permit from the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry to possess and transport controlled goods.

Another Suspected Criminal Killed In Shootout With Police In Sungai Petani
SUNGAI PETANI, July 5 (Bernama) -- Police have shot dead another man believed to be involved in a series of armed robberies, just a day after two other suspects were killed in a shootout in Jitra. The 34-year-old suspect was fatally shot during a similar shootout with police at 7.50 pm in Bandar Puteri Jaya, according to acting director of the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Datuk Fadil Marsus. 'This was a special operation led by Bukit Aman CID in collaboration with several state contingents and all branches of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM). 'Today, we encountered an individual believed to be part of a gang involved in a series of armed robberies across several states. Attempts were made to arrest him, but he resisted and a shootout ensued, leading to his death,' he told reporters at the scene. A pistol and several other items were recovered from the suspect, who had more than 30 prior criminal records. Fadil said police believe the suspect was also a key member of a criminal group, comprising over a dozen members, responsible for a string of armed robberies, gangsterism and drug trafficking dating back to 2022, which caused losses estimated at nearly RM6 million. 'Our investigations indicate this suspect was also involved in three recent armed robberies in Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, and Perak,' he added. Fadil emphasised that the police would continue to act aggressively to apprehend individuals involved in violent crimes, especially those involving firearms. The case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code.

Brazilian hiker buried after fatal fall from Indonesian volcano; Brazil govt may take legal action against Indonesia on issue
Estela Marins (back to camera), attends the funeral of her daughter Juliana Marins, who died after falling from the summit of Mount Rinjani in Indonesia, at Parque da Colina cemetery in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, Friday, July 4, 2025. -- AP Photo/Bruna Prado NITEROI, Brazil (AP): The Brazilian hiker who died after falling from the ridge of a volcano in Indonesia was buried on Friday in Rio de Janeiro state. Juliana Marins' body arrived in Brazil on Tuesday, a week after authorities confirmed her death. Her family has accused Indonesian authorities of negligence and delays in the rescue and repatriation process. On the same matter and according to reports, the Brazilian government plans to take the death of its citizen Juliana Marins while climbing Mount Rinjani to a continental human rights body if the Indonesian government is found to have been negligent in providing aid. The Federal Public Defender's Office (DPU) will take the case to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights if the Indonesian government is found negligent. On June 21, the 26-year-old tourist began summiting on Mount Rinjani, an active 3,726-meter (12,224-foot) volcano on the Indonesian island of Lombok, with a guide and five other foreigners, when she fell about 600 meters (nearly 2,000 feet), Indonesian authorities said. Indonesian rescuers retrieved her body on June 25. Authorities confirmed her death on Tuesday after the rescuers reached and examined the body, which was found using a thermal drone after four days of intensive searches complicated by terrain and weather. The retrieval took at least five hours because of the rocky and steep terrain and foggy weather. Millions of people in Brazil followed the rescue efforts. Indonesian authorities and the rescuer team met with Marins' family to explain the process. Mount Rinjani, Indonesia's second-tallest peak, is a popular destination for trekkers. Manoel Marins, the hiker's father, told reporters at the burial in her hometown of Niteroi that what happened to his daughter was "a matter of disregard for human life,' blaming what he called Indonesia's "precarious public services.' "Unfortunately, it's a tourist destination - known worldwide, a country that depends on tourism to survive," he said. "It should have better infrastructure, better resources to rescue people.' - AP
