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

Recent spike in crime caused by thieving drug addicts, says Kedah top cop
ALOR SETAR: Theft by drug addicts has become the leading cause of rising index crime rates in Kedah, says police chief CP Adzli Abu Shah. He noted that from Jan 1 to Sunday (July 27), Kedah recorded 2,852 index crime cases, with 47 percent involving theft linked to drug addicts. "Kedah police will maintain the focus outlined by former police chief Datuk Fisol Salleh, which is to eradicate drug-related crime. "We believe that if drug issues can be tackled and eliminated as much as possible, the overall index crime rate in Kedah can be brought down," he said. Adzli was responding to Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail's recent comments in conjunction with the 2025 National Anti-Drug Day celebration held in Jitra last Friday, urging the Kedah government to step up efforts to remove the state from the top four nationwide for drug addiction rates. On a separate note, he said Kedah police are stepping up border security measures despite the ongoing Thailand-Cambodia conflict occurring far from the state's northern border. "Precautionary steps are being taken by strengthening security at Malaysia's border checkpoints," he said, adding that despite growing support from agencies such as the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency, constant vigilance remains essential. "We must not let our guard down. We are committed to ensuring the country's borders remain secure," he said. Earlier, Adzli attended the rank insignia presentation ceremony for the Kedah police chief and deputy police chief, along with the handover ceremony for the deputy chief post, witnessed by Special Branch director CP Datuk Ibrahim Darus at the police contingent headquarters. Adzli, who was the acting police chief, was officially appointed to the role and promoted to the rank of Commissioner of Police (CP). Meanwhile, Perlis deputy police chief SAC Baderulhisham Baharudin was appointed as the new Kedah deputy police chief and promoted to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP). - Bernama

Chegubard arrested by police over sedition allegation, says lawyer
KUALA LUMPUR: Bersatu Port Dickson division chief Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Chegu Bard, was detained by police at his house today in connection with an opposition gathering on Saturday. His lawyer, Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali, in a statement, said the political activist was arrested at 2.30pm at his home. He said they received confirmation that a police report had been lodged against Chegu Bard in connection with the gathering held at Dataran Merdeka on Saturday. "He was supposed to meet with the investigating officer in Bukit Aman at 11am tomorrow," Rafique said, adding that the arrest was unnecessary as Chegu Bard had given an undertaking to present himself at the police headquarters. Earlier, acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Mohamed Usuf Mohamed Jan was reported as saying that police had received four reports so far in connection with the gathering. One case is being investigated by the Bukit Aman Classified Crime Unit, while the other three have been referred to the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia over the use of drones. Investigations are being carried out under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act; Section 504 of the Penal Code; and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

MACC questions 32 in RM950m scrap metal smuggling probe
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has recorded statements from 32 individuals as part of an ongoing investigation into a scrap metal and e-waste smuggling syndicate. The probe follows recent raids conducted across five states, targeting a network suspected of evading export taxes worth over RM950 million. A source familiar with the case revealed that the MACC is identifying additional individuals to assist in the investigation. Authorities are also examining potential corruption under Section 16 and Section 18 of the MACC Act. Among those questioned was a man holding the title Datuk Seri, who is reportedly linked to the smuggling operation. However, no arrests have been made so far. Earlier reports indicated that the syndicate allegedly paid bribes to enforcement officers, resulting in significant tax losses for the government. The MACC continues to pursue leads to dismantle the network and recover lost revenue. - Bernama
