Fahmi: Don't turn Zara Qairina's death into a populist cause
KUALA LUMPUR: Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil urged the public not to make the death of Zara Qairina Mahathir a populist cause. Fahmi was responding to public rallies and online calls for justice as National Day on Aug 31 approached. "Don't build a palace above a grave. Don't take advantage to popularise yourselves. We want justice and the law must take its course." He said Bukit Aman had taken over the probe and that it was investigating three officers over alleged procedural lapses during the initial investigation. Fahmi added that he wanted justice for Zara; Reserve Officers' Training Unit (Palapes) cadet Syamsul Haris Shamsudin, who died last month: and tahfiz student Wan Ahmad Faris Wan Abdul Rahman, who died 12 years ago. He also said bullies could face legal action. The Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code were amended in Parliament in December last year, and the new provisions came into force last month, strengthening the scope for prosecution.

SEPANG: A Chinese woman who was detained in connection with injuring an immigration officer at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) last Wednesday will be charged in the Sessions Court here tomorrow.

The incident, which occurred at about 7.40pm at the Departure Hall of KLIA Terminal 1, involved four Chinese nationals — two adults and two children — undergoing immigration clearance. The woman was detained for acting aggressively and injuring an Immigration counter officer during clearance, allegedly because she was worried about missing her flight. She is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant, Section 332 for causing hurt to a public servant and Section 353 for using criminal force against a public servant.

Chinese national assaults KLIA immigration officer
A CHINESE national was arrested at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 yesterday for behaving aggressively and injuring an immigration officer during departure checks. According to Bernama, the incident occurred at around 7.40pm where the woman alongside a man and two children were at the immigration counter. The officer discovered that they had no entry records and referred the case to a supervisor for further review. A statement issued by the Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) explained that the suspect became upset when she was told to allow other passengers to proceed while her documents were being examined. The Chinese national then allegedly shouted abusive words at the officer, yanked her headscarf and pushed her head against a pillar in front of the counter. 'A minor scuffle broke out, and the suspect refused to calm down despite being instructed to do so. AKPS enforcement officers then called in the Aviation Security Team (AVSEC) to control the situation,' it said. The incident left the officer with swelling in her left eye, a headache on the right side of her head and body aches. She was then sent to Cyberjaya Hospital for treatment and to obtain a medical report. A police report has been filed and the suspect is currently in police custody for investigation under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant, Section 332 for causing injury to a public servant and Section 353 for using criminal force against a public servant. AKPS stressed that it will not tolerate any form of violence, abuse or threats against officers on duty and expects the suspect to face appropriate legal action. Meanwhile, the Immigration Services Union Peninsular Malaysia (KPISM) strongly condemned the physical and verbal attack on the female officer. President Ajeet Singh stated that such actions undermine the sovereignty of Malaysian law and reminded tourists that they must respect the laws of any country they visit. 'Immigration officers are the frontline defenders of the nation's sovereignty. Assaulting them while on duty is not only an uncivilised act, but also tarnishes the nation's image and jeopardises security at international entry points,' he said in the statement. —TMR
