Labourer jailed 18 months for smashing police station door
The accused, Nik Mohadi Ahmad, 39, pleaded guilty to the charge before Magistrate Rais Imran Hamid.
According to the charge, he was accused of breaking the front glass sliding door at the Ketereh police station complaint counter, causing an estimated loss of RM200. The incident occurred at 1.02 pm on May 16.
The charge was framed under Section 427 of the Penal Code, which provides for a jail term of one to five years, a fine, or both, upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Naabil Mohamed Asri urged the court to impose a proportionate sentence as a lesson to the accused, citing public interest, since the damage involved government property.
The court then sentenced Nik Mohadi, who was unrepresented, to 18 months imprisonment, to run consecutively after he completes his current sentence under the same section, which began on July 7, and is set to end on April 22 next year.
He is currently serving a jail sentence for committing mischief by damaging property at his uncle's house. - Bernama

Fuziah: Govt to monitor petrol stations closely as RON95 subsidy revamp looms
ALOR SETAR, July 25 — Proactive monitoring will be carried out at all petrol stations to prevent any misuse in the purchase of subsidised RON95 petrol by consumers when the petrol subsidy rationalisation exercise is implemented, said the Deputy Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister, Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh. She said the ministry is anticipating various possibilities that will require enforcement officers to be more vigilant during inspections. '…KPDN has already considered all these possibilities. For instance, a single MyKad is being used repeatedly. These are among the issues we are aware of and are looking into ways to address,' she said after taking part in an Op Kesan 4.0 inspection at a supermarket here today. She said the use of MyKad ensures that Malaysians enjoy subsidies and allows the government to track any unusual purchases or instances of RON95 petrol being pumped beyond the allowable limit for a single vehicle. Fuziah said purchase records can help the authorities detect unusual fuel transactions, enabling action to be taken, stressing that KPDN will remain vigilant in identifying any instances of leakage or misuse. '…it won't be possible to make excessive purchases, as we can detect if a MyKad is being used repeatedly, morning, noon, and night, based on the records in the system,' she said. On the Op Kesan 4.0, which was launched following the revision of the sales tax rates and the expansion of the service tax (SST) rates effective July 1, Fuziah said 950 premises were inspected, involving 3,965 stock-keeping units (SKUs) nationwide. Of that number, 950 price information notices were issued under Section 21 of the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 (Act 723), she said, adding that 23 complaints were received for further investigation. Op Kesan 4.0 aims to prevent traders from taking advantage by raising prices unreasonably or engaging in profiteering under the pretext of the SST adjustments. — Bernama

KPDN monitors petrol stations to prevent RON95 subsidy misuse
ALOR SETAR: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) will intensify monitoring at petrol stations nationwide to curb potential misuse of subsidised RON95 petrol once the fuel subsidy rationalisation takes effect. Deputy Minister Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh stated that enforcement teams are prepared to tackle irregularities, including repeated MyKad usage for excessive purchases. Fuziah highlighted that the MyKad system will help track unusual fuel transactions, ensuring subsidies benefit only eligible Malaysians. 'We can detect if a single MyKad is used multiple times in a day through system records, preventing excessive claims,' she said after an Op Kesan 4.0 inspection at a local supermarket. The operation, launched following recent sales and service tax adjustments, has inspected 950 premises nationwide, covering 3,965 stock-keeping units. Authorities issued 950 price notices under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011, with 23 complaints under investigation. Fuziah reiterated that KPDN remains vigilant against profiteering and price manipulation by traders exploiting tax changes. - Bernama

Motoring Influencer, Brother Jailed And Fined For Lodging False Police Report
MUAR, July 25 (Bernama) -- Motoring influencer Tengku Nizaruddin Tengku Zainudin and his younger brother, Tengku Abdul Aziz, were each sentenced to one month's imprisonment and fined RM1,500 by the Magistrates' Court today for lodging a false police report. Magistrate Suzana Mokhtar imposed the sentence after both accused, Tengku Nizaruddin, 38, also known as "Ija", and Tengku Abdul Aziz, 30, pleaded guilty to their respective charges. The court ordered the jail term to commence today and ruled that both men would serve an additional three months' imprisonment if they failed to pay the fine. According to the charge, Tengku Nizaruddin was accused of abetting his brother by instructing him to provide false information to a police officer, claiming that the accused had gone missing and was uncontactable since 4 pm on July 14. He was charged under Section 109 of the Penal Code, which provides for a maximum jail term of six months, or a fine not exceeding RM2,000, or both, upon conviction. Tengku Abdul Aziz was separately charged under Section 182 of the Penal Code with providing false information to a police officer regarding the alleged disappearance of his brother at 11.38 pm on July 14, at the Lenga police station enquiry office. Deputy public prosecutors Nur Ameerah Allaudeen and Yasmin Mohd Piah urged the court to impose both imprisonment and a fine on the accused, citing the seriousness of the offence, which had wasted the manpower and resources of the Royal Malaysia Police and the Muar Fire and Rescue Department, and undermined their efforts. 'This is a common offence that is frequently committed. Given the public attention this case has received, we hope it will serve as a deterrent to others,' they said. In mitigation, lawyer Nor Hafizah Abdullah from the National Legal Aid Foundation, representing both accused, pleaded for a fine, stating that her clients had expressed remorse, apologised to the police and fire department, and had cooperated fully with the authorities.
