Police open investigation after two boys found unsupervised by roadside in Bangi
Kajang district police chief ACP Naazron Abdul Yusof said they received word of the incident at about 11.57am when concerned passersby brought the brothers to a police station.
'Preliminary investigations found that the brothers were in good condition and had come out of their nanny's house while their nanny was sleeping and were discovered by passersby not far from the housing area,' he said in a statement today.
The parents of the children were contacted and showed up at the Bangi police station at about 2 pm and the brothers were handed over to them safely.
The police have called up five individuals, including the nanny, to record their statements to facilitate investigations under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 for neglect of children, he said.
He also advised the public, especially parents and guardians, to be more vigilant of their children's safety and not to be negligent in their care. — Bernama

Cops shut down ‘Turun Anwar' stage at Dataran Merdeka over safety, lack of DBKL approval
KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — Police instructed Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to dismantle the main stage set up at Dataran Merdeka for an event today, citing safety concerns and lack of approval. Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said the structure was erected without permission from DBKL or a formal application from the organisers. 'The stage structure did not guarantee safety, and the police were not informed of how many people would be on the stage,' he told reporters via Whatsapp. Mohamed Usuf said that police and the organisers had initially agreed to use two Hilux vehicles as a makeshift stage. Thousands of protestors gathered in central Kuala Lumpur this afternoon to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The demonstration began outside Sogo and Pertama Complex and is expected to move towards Dataran Merdeka after 1pm.

Robbers break into Mirzan Mahathir's home, flee with RM1.8m in valuables
KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 — The home of Mirzan Mahathir, the eldest son of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, was broken into on Wednesday, with robbers escaping with jewellery and other valuables estimated to be worth RM1.8 million. According to The Vibes, the break-in reportedly occurred around 5pm and was discovered by a Filipino domestic helper, who noticed that the padlock on the back door had been cut and the bedroom of Mirzan's daughter, Khadijah, 29, had been ransacked. Khadijah later confirmed that several items were missing, including a Cartier bangle, gold rings, earrings, a pair of golden chopsticks, jade bangles, old passports and foreign currency. The two-storey bungalow, located on a 1.5-acre end-lot, is equipped with 24-hour security. However, despite having 16 closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, the system only provides live viewing with no recording function. A forensic team from the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters, comprising five officers and personnel, was deployed to the scene. They recovered three fingerprints from the bedroom, and also seized the cut Solex padlock as evidence. The fingerprints have been sent to Bukit Aman for further analysis. A K9 unit from the Police Training Centre (Pulapol) was also brought in to assist with investigations. The case is being investigated under Section 457 of the Penal Code for house-breaking.
