Kelantan records 15 school bullying cases, 22 students detained
KOTA BARU: Kelantan police have recorded 15 cases of bullying in schools since January last year, leading to the arrest of 22 students. State police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the cases were logged between January last year and July this year in six districts: Kota Baru, Gua Musang, Tumpat, Machang, Pasir Puteh and Tanah Merah. He said all of the cases occurred in schools, and not in colleges or religious schools. Of the total cases, Kota Baru recorded the highest number with seven, followed by Pasir Puteh with three and Tanah Merah with two. Mohd Yusoff said most of the 22 students arrested were male. Four of the cases have been brought to court, while the others are still under investigation. He said all cases are being investigated under several sections of the Penal Code: Section 147 for rioting, Section 148 for possessing weapons during a riot, Section 323 for voluntarily causing hurt, and Section 324 for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means. Mohd Yusoff said the situation in Kelantan remained under control, and police continued to monitor developments through school liaison officers. "Police, through our school liaison officers, not only monitor bullying cases in schools but also other criminal offences," he said.

JPJ seals 270 luxury vehicles without road tax, insurance coverage through Ops Luxury
The operation is being carried out continuously across all states to take firm action against luxury vehicles being driven without a valid motor vehicle licence (LKM) or insurance. – Bernama photo JOHOR BAHRU (Aug 16): The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has seized 270 luxury vehicles nationwide for not having valid road tax and insurance under Ops Luxury, carried out since July 1. Its director-general, Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, said the operation is being carried out continuously across all states to take firm action against luxury vehicles being driven without a valid motor vehicle licence (LKM) or insurance. 'This operation is a stern measure against luxury vehicles that are being driven without paying road tax, with some also without insurance coverage. The vehicles will be detained and seized until the owners settle all outstanding road tax, insurance, and summonses before they are released,' he told a press conference at JPJ Taman Daya recently. Also present were JPJ senior director (Enforcement) Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan and Johor JPJ director Azmil Zainal Adnan. Aedy said the seized vehicles included a Ferrari in Johor Bahru, which was without road tax and insurance, a Lamborghini Huracán with an annual road tax of RM12,000, and a Rolls-Royce in Kuala Lumpur with unpaid road tax of RM29,000 per year. He revealed that some of the vehicles had not had their road tax renewed for more than a year, with one case in Kuala Lumpur involving a lapse of up to three years, where the owner claimed to have 'forgotten' to renew it. 'Ops Luxury will be expanded nationwide, including to Perlis, Sabah, and Sarawak. This is not a one-off action, but a continuous effort. 'We do not want luxury vehicles on the road without valid road tax and insurance, as the risks to public safety in the event of an accident are extremely high,' he said. Aedy added that legal action has been taken against several vehicle owners in court, while those who have settled their road tax and insurance arrears have been allowed to reclaim their vehicles. – Bernama Aedy Fadly Ramli lead luxury vehicles road tax Road Transport Department
