4 eateries in Bangsar compounded for blocking walkway
PETALING JAYA : Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has issued compound notices to four eateries on Jalan Telawi, Bangsar, for setting up tables and chairs on walkways in the area.
In a Facebook post, DBKL said the restaurants had set up the tables and chairs there without permission, blocking pedestrians from using the pathways.
The tables and chairs were later confiscated by DBKL.
'DBKL will continue to monitor and take action (over such offences),' it said.
Complaints on such cases can be filed through its Adu@KL online portal.

RM2,000 fine for unlicensed street photographers at KLCC
REMEMBER the nuisance caused by freelance photographers who decided it was compulsory to use their service if tourists wanted their photos taken with the backdrop of the twin towers? Well it appears the authorities have finally answered the clarion call to bust them for good. A recent video on X showed the police officers in action, carting the offenders off besides handing them a hefty fine of RM2,000. Is that the right step towards restoring the image of Malaysia in the eyes of the international community? It is the first, and hopefully not the last. Kalau kena hari-hari, boleh botak kepala… Jurugambar jalanan di KLCC didenda RM2,000 setiap seorang. — ًِ (@bckupacc99) July 28, 2025 Netizens, however, were divided over the action of the municipal council, with some saying that it was rather heavy handed. 'If actions are not taken, they will rein unchecked and affect the image of the country when it is Visit Malaysia 2026,' said @MohamadYusofBi6. Another netizen said, 'Power to DBKL.' So was @Pokokpangkal who suggested they spot check the place everyday. But @budaknakal779 believed only a small number of these people had bad behaviour, and that they had ruined everyone. 'I had some friends who once provided photography services at KLCC and the price was affordable,' he added. Also, netizen @khairishith shrugged off the fine, stating that it was alright if they profited at about RM5,000 to RM10,000. The brief video provided little detail about the scene, but news portal The New Straits Times said around 30 freelance street photographers were issued compound notices on Sunday night while offering instant photo services to visitors at KLCC. According to the authorities, the individuals were operating without proper permits in a public area. This enforcement action came in response to a series of public complaints, as well as a recent incident involving some of the photographers that gained attention on social media. These freelancers are commonly seen at popular tourist destinations, providing quick smartphone photography services to both locals and international tourists, said the news portal. Authorities have since indicated that they are exploring the possibility of introducing a formal licensing system to better regulate freelance photography in public spaces. —July 29, 2025 Main image: @bckupacc99 (X)

'The autopsy revealed the boy died due to pressure from a cable tie around his neck,' he said when contacted by Bernama today, adding that the case is now being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. The investigation first began under Johor police jurisdiction, classified under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 and Section 323/18 of the Domestic Violence Act and Missing Persons procedures. Ahmad Dzaffir said the suspect is still in remand in Johor, but will be brought to Jempol for further questioning in the coming days. 'We will also be recording statements from witnesses, particularly the victim's mother,' he added. Meanwhile, Jempol police chief Supt Norhisham Mustapar said a hoe, believed to have been used by the suspect to dig the boy's grave, was recovered from a secluded area near Jalan Bahau-Rompin. Police had discovered the victim's body around 4.30 pm yesterday, after a tip-off led them to the burial site. Earlier, Iskandar Puteri police chief ACP M Kumarasan confirmed that a man had been remanded for seven days from July 25 to assist with the murder investigation. The suspect lodged a police report in Bukit Indah on July 24, claiming the boy had gone missing. Kumarasan said the man first told police the child had disappeared around 4 pm on July 23 after being left alone in a car while the suspect went out to buy food. The case was initially classified under Section 182 of the Penal Code for lodging a false report. — Bernama

Basri said they were detained for various immigration violations such as overstaying, violating visa conditions, and not possessing identification documents. He also revealed that some foreigners attempted to disguise themselves as customers to avoid detection, but their efforts were thwarted by the enforcement officers. 'Our officers were in the area from 10am to distinguish between the foreign workers and genuine customers,' he added. All the detainees were taken to the temporary immigration depot in Beranang, Selangor. The immigration department conducted a similar raid in the Jalan Masjid India area on Feb 15.
