Restaurant owner weeps as immigration nabs him for illegal workers
KUALA LUMPUR: A restaurant operated by a Pakistani national along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah was raided by authorities for employing undocumented foreign workers. During the 10.30pm operation yesterday, Immigration Department officers found the owner and two employees preparing customer orders, unaware of the enforcement team's presence. The Pakistani man, in his 30s, admitted the business was registered under his wife's name but failed to produce valid work permits for the employees, who were also Pakistani nationals. The situation escalated when the man panicked and broke down in tears as he was escorted onto the Immigration Department's lorry. "I am not a criminal," he repeatedly cried out. Moments later, his wife, believed to be in her 20s, arrived at the scene carrying their young child and pleaded with officers to release her husband. "Please sir, can't we reach a compromise? He has a spouse visa, not a tourist visa. We've just started running this business," she said. "I have a small child, and it's difficult for me to manage without him. We don't even have a car," she added.

Police review CCTV footage after break-in at Mahathir's grandson's home
KUALA LUMPUR: Police are reviewing closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage from surrounding areas following a break-in at the residence of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's grandson in Bukit Ledang. The incident, reported last Wednesday, resulted in the loss of jewellery worth RM1.8 million. Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said the CCTV system at the house, installed in the 1990s, had limited storage capacity and retained footage for only 24 hours. 'The footage was overwritten by the time the police report was made,' he explained during a press conference. Investigators have recorded statements from three individuals, including Dr Mahathir's grandson, a security guard, and a maid. Fingerprint analysis is also underway, though Mohamed Usuf noted the process may take time. The break-in was discovered by the maid at 3 pm last Wednesday after she found the rear gate cut and the employer's room ransacked. The house is reportedly an old property rarely visited by Dr Mahathir's grandchildren. Separately, when asked about singer Shila Amzah's claim of being verbally attacked by another artiste, Mohamed Usuf said police would record statements from two more witnesses to complete the investigation. - Bernama

Klang Valley drug syndicate busted with RM4.66m syabu seized
KUALA LUMPUR: Police dismantled a drug trafficking syndicate in the Klang Valley after arresting three men and confiscating 145.68kg of syabu valued at RM4.66 million. The operation, conducted on July 24, led to the seizure of drugs hidden in a car and a rented house in Puncak Jalil. Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said two Malaysians, aged 32 and 61, and a 34-year-old Indonesian were detained at a shopping centre in Jalan Kuchai Lama. A search of their vehicle uncovered 10.34kg of syabu concealed in a cloth bag inside the boot. Further raids at a double-storey house in Puncak Jalil yielded an additional 135.34kg of the drug packed in 122 plastic packets. 'The total seizure could supply around 728,400 addicts,' said Mohamed Usuf. Investigations revealed the syndicate had rented the Puncak Jalil property since October last year for RM2,000 monthly, using it as a storage hub before distributing drugs locally and to Indonesia. The group is believed to have been active since May, sourcing supplies from overseas. Two of the suspects tested positive for drugs, with one having a prior drug-related warrant. All three have been remanded until July 31 under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. - Bernama
