Cops claim trial allegedly extorting foreigners for RM10,000
BUKIT MERTAJAM: Three policemen claimed trial at the Magistrate's Court here for allegedly extorting RM10,000 from two Thai nationals last year. Koperal Mohd Shukri Amran, 35; Koperal Mohammad Faizal Mirdukhim @ Mustapa, 43; and Koperal Muhammad Arifshah Zulkefli, 23, were jointly charged on Friday (Aug 1) with deliberately extorting Anotai Saentawe and Suwit Sake by instilling fear that harm would befall them, thereby inducing them to hand over RM10,000. The offence was allegedly committed at a petrol station in Juru (southbound) along the North-South Expressway at 1.30am on Sept 26, 2024. The accused, who were attached to the Central Seberang Perai police headquarters, were charged under Section 385 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the same Code. The charge carries a maximum penalty of seven years' imprisonment, a fine, caning, or any two of the punishments, upon conviction. Deputy Public Prosecutor Nor Shakila Dahari requested bail of RM10,000 with one surety for each of the accused. However, counsel for the accused appealed for lower bail, citing their responsibilities in supporting their families. Magistrate Nurul Rasyidah Mohd Akit granted bail of RM4,000 with one surety each and set Sept 12 for mention. Meanwhile, another policeman from the same police headquarters was charged separately with abetting the alleged extortion. Koperal Muhammad Nizar Mat Axid, 40, pleaded not guilty when the charge was read out before magistrate Nurul Rasyidah in the same court on Friday. He was charged with abetting Mohd Shukri, Mohammad Faizal, and Muhammad Arifshah in intentionally committing extortion against the same two Thai nationals. The offence was allegedly committed at a rented house at No. 32, Jalan Setia 2, Taman Setia, at 2.30am on the same day. The charge was framed under Section 109 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 385, which also provides for a maximum sentence of seven years' imprisonment, a fine, caning, or any two of the punishments upon conviction. The court set bail at RM4,000 with one surety and fixed Sept 12 for mention.

Worrying spike in commercial crimes for Sarawak with RM77.7 mln lost in first seven months
Mancha shows the commercial crime statistics with Sarawak CCID chief Supt Maria Rasid. – Photo by Chimon Upon KUCHING (Aug 1): Sarawak has recorded a worrying spike in commercial crime cases, with 2,256 incidents reported between January and July 30 this year. Sarawak police commissioner Datuk Mancha Ata said the reported cases involved losses amounting to RM77.7 million — an increase of 46.8 per cent compared to RM52.9 million in the same period last year. 'This equates to an average of around seven cases reported daily. 'If these trends are not curbed, total losses could exceed RM100 million by the end of the year, placing significant financial strain on victims and jeopardising household financial security in Sarawak,' he told a press conference here today. On scammers' modus operandi and tactics, Mancha said the fraudulent cases involved e-commerce scams, non-existent investment scams, money-lending scams, job scams, phone scams, as well as mule accounts. On the breakdown of victims, he said based on police data the majority were aged between 30 and 40 years (584), 18 and 29 (439), and 50 and above (267). 'Most of them consisted of those working in the private sector (497), followed by government servants (237), retirees (72), and the rest of them were students and those who are self-employed,' he said. He pointed out most of these cases were reported in urban areas. In terms of enforcement, Mancha said 867 suspects were arrested as of July, out of which 834 have been charged in court involving 827 investigation papers. 'Those prosecuted for mule accounts also increased to 832 individuals, compared to 639 people recorded last year,' he said. Based on an analysis of the cases, Mancha said the police identified key factors behind the public's vulnerability to scams, such as lack of awareness about how scammers operate, with many victims lured by promises of high investment returns within a short time. Panic and fear were also cited as major influences, particularly when scammers posed as authorities or bank representatives. 'In addition, many victims failed to verify the authenticity of phone numbers, account numbers, or suspicious links they received. 'Delayed reporting was another concern, with some victims feeling ashamed or embarrassed to admit they had been duped,' he said. He advised the public to exercise caution when confronted with offers or messages that appear too good to be true, and not to disclose their banking details to anyone. Phone numbers or bank accounts should be verified through the Whoscall app and the official Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) Semak Mule portal. Family members are urged to educate elderly relatives and young people to be cautious of viral messages and unauthorised investment opportunities. Victims should also contact the National Scam Response Centre's (NSRC) 24-hour hotline on 997 should they fall victim to a scam. commercial crime Mancha Ata

Foreigners charged with possessing nearly 10 tonnes of subsidised LPG
JOHOR BARU: Five Indonesian men were charged at Sessions Court here with possessing more than 9,560kg of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). The accused, Muhammad Ali, 32, Zulfan Fauzi, 31, Nasrullah, 34, Marhaban, 31 and Adnan, 28, pleaded guilty to the charge before judge Siti Noraida Sulaiman on Friday (Aug 1). According to the charge sheet, the five foreigners were jointly found in possession of controlled items, namely 9,565.8kg of LPG cylinders, under circumstances that raised reasonable suspicion under Regulation 3(1) of the Control of Supplies Regulations 1974 for manufacturing LPG without a licence. The offence was allegedly committed at Jalan Sungai Tiram, Ulu Tiram at 7.05pm on July 28. They were charged under Section 21 of the Control of Supplies Act 1961 (Act 122), punishable under Section 22(1) of the same Act and read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which carries a fine of up to RM1,000,000 or imprisonment of up to three years, or both, upon conviction. For a second or subsequent offence, the penalty increases to a fine of up to RM3,000,000 or imprisonment of up to five years, or both. Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry prosecuting officer Raja Nor Ikhlas Raja Ariff, who led the prosecution, requested a month to obtain the chemistry report and proposed that no bail be granted to the accused persons due to flight risk. The court fixed Sept 3 for the presentation of facts and sentencing, and ordered that all accused be remanded without bail. Earlier, ministry enforcement officers reportedly uncovered an illegal LPG storage facility at a warehouse in Ulu Tiram on Monday. Its Johor director Lilis Saslinda Pornomo said the operation, which was jointly carried out by enforcement teams from Putrajaya and Johor, led to the seizure of 1,357 LPG cylinders worth an estimated RM280,000.
