OKU cardholder fined RM1,800 for causing hurt to 11-year-old boy
The accused did not contest the charge after it was read to her before Magistrate Saiful Sayoti on Thursday (July 17).
The fine was imposed in default three months' jail.
She was accused of committing the offence at a grocery store in Mantin at around 12.30pm on Tuesday (July 15).

She was charged under Section 323 of the Penal Code with voluntarily causing hurt to the victim by stepping on his face and legs.
Offenders can be jailed for up to one year or fined up to RM2,000, or both, upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Fidha Misjedi asked the court to impose a punishment commensurate with the offence, as the victim was a young boy.
She said pleading guilty did not automatically mean the accused was entitled to a lenient sentence.
The accused, who was represented by a lawyer from the Legal Aid Department, pleaded for leniency as she had no source of income, was unmarried, and had mental health issues.
Police detained the accused after the victim's mother lodged a report claiming that her son had been beaten and threatened by the suspect.
Nilai OCPD Supt Abdul Malik Hasim said the incident was captured by the store's CCTV system.
The suspect, he said, was said to have been experiencing hallucinations at the time and suspected the victim of shoplifting, although there was no evidence for that.

'Flying passport': Two enforcement officers at JB-Singapore border arrested
JOHOR BARU: Two enforcement officers attached to the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex (CIQ) in the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) here were arrested last night over their involvement in "flying passport" activities. Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) BSI commander Roszita Dim said the two male suspects, aged 31 and 49, were arrested after an operation. "Flying passport" refers to the extension of a stay permit where the passport holder does not leave the country, which is a legal requirement. Usually, those involved facilitate the process by stamping a foreigner's passport without them leaving the country. During the operation, MCBA found several suspicious visitor data entries linked to the login information of the officers on duty, with the first detected at 7.30pm. The data belonged to foreigners who were previously flagged by the authorities. Roszita said another suspicious data entry was logged at 9pm linked to the user ID of a supervisor stationed at a counter for vehicles. "A search at the vehicle zone counter found RM2,800 in cash and two mobile phones in the possession of one of the suspects," she told a press conference. "Further investigation led to the discovery of 14 foreign passports hidden in a black bag in the ceiling of another counter." Eleven passports belonged to Chinese nationals, while another three belonged to Indonesians. Roszita added that further checks in the motorcycle zone found two more mobile phones belonging to the second suspect, which were also seized for further investigation. She said both suspects were immediately arrested and handed over to the Johor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission at 10am today. "Investigations into both suspects are still ongoing, including the possibility of their involvement in a syndicate carrying out similar activities. "We have reported this case to the MCBA headquarters in Putrajaya," she said.

Two enforcement officers arrested at BSI CIQ for passport misconduct
JOHOR BAHRU: Two enforcement officers were arrested at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex last night over suspected involvement in a 'Flying Passport' misconduct. The practice involves illegally clearing passports without the holders being present. Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) BSI CIQ commander Roszita Dim confirmed the arrests, stating that a 31-year-old officer and a 49-year-old supervisor were detained at 9 pm following surveillance by the agency's Compliance Unit. 'Surveillance at 7.30 pm detected suspicious visitor data entries using an officer's user ID at the car zone counter. Problematic foreign visitor records were also found, requiring correction by the supervisor,' Roszita said during a press conference. A search at the car counter revealed RM2,800 in cash and two mobile phones. Further interrogation led to the discovery of 11 Chinese and three Indonesian passports hidden in a black bag above another counter's ceiling. Two more phones were seized from the motorcycle zone supervisor's counter. Both suspects were handed over to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Johor this morning. The case has been reported to the AKPS Integrity Unit in Putrajaya. 'Our surveillance lasted about a week. Whether this involves a syndicate is still under investigation,' Roszita added. - Bernama
