2 Form 1 students plead guilty to slapping classmate at Kajang mall
PETALING JAYA : Two Form 1 students pleaded guilty in the Kajang magistrates' court today with slapping a classmate at a shopping mall in Kajang last week, a video of which has been widely shared online.
Berita Harian reported that the two 13-year-olds were charged before magistrate Fatin Dayana Jalil under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955 with insulting behaviour, read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which provides for a fine of up to RM100.
They were accused of slapping a 13-year-old boy in a public place with the intent to provoke a breach of the peace.
The proceedings were held behind closed doors due to the accused being underage.
The prosecution was handled by deputy public prosecutor Siti Nur Alia Safri, while both the accused were represented by lawyer Lee Tee Kiat.
The prosecution later offered bail of RM5,000 each, but the court set bail at RM500 each and set Sept 18 for the receipt of reports of conduct from the social welfare department before sentencing.
It was previously reported that four Form 1 students were detained last Thursday for allegedly hitting a classmate at a shopping mall in Kajang the same morning. They were remanded for two days.

Police tighten security for Rafizi's family after syringe attack on son
SHAH ALAM, Aug 14 — Police have tightened security measures for Pandan MP Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli and his family following the attack on his son at a shopping mall in Putrajaya yesterday. Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar, however, declined to provide further details on the security arrangements to avoid compromising operations. 'There are measures in place, but I cannot disclose them as it would reveal what the security team is doing… police will carry out the necessary protection,' he told a press conference on the incident here today. Shazeli said six individuals had been called to give statements, including Rafizi, his wife and his son, as well as other related parties. When asked, he said it was too early to determine whether the attack was politically motivated until a more complete investigation is available. 'Alhamdulillah, our initial investigation through closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage has given us some leads and assistance. We are reviewing not only the footage from the shopping mall premises but also from outside the location. 'The public is advised not to make any speculation or assumptions that could cause unrest or provoke uncontrolled reactions,' he said, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 14(d) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 (Act 792), Section 324 and Section 352 of the Penal Code. In a statement yesterday, Rafizi confirmed the victim was his son and that during the incident, two male suspects on a motorcycle, dressed in black and wearing helmets had tailed his wife's car. The former Economy Minister said one of them suddenly grabbed his son and stabbed him with a syringe. — Bernama

MACC: Five senior military officers accused of leaking intel to RM5m-a-month smuggling ring, among 10 remanded
PUTRAJAYA, Aug 14 — The Magistrate's Court today issued remand orders against 10 individuals, including five senior Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) officers, to assist the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) investigation into a smuggling syndicate operating in the country's south. The MACC said the others remanded comprise two journalists from an online media agency, a company manager, an administrative assistant at the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) and a foreign woman. 'Four male suspects have been remanded for seven days until Aug 20, two men and one woman for two days until Aug 18, while two men and one Indonesian woman are remanded for three days until Aug 15,' it said in a statement today. The remand orders were issued by Magistrate Irza Zulaikha Rohanuddin. According to sources, the five senior military officers and five civilians, aged between 30 and 55, were arrested around the Klang Valley yesterday in 'Op Sohor', carried out by MACC's Intelligence Division with the cooperation of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM). The military intelligence officers are suspected of colluding with the syndicate by leaking operational information to help them evade enforcement. The smuggled goods allegedly brought into the country include drugs, cigarettes and other items from neighbouring countries, with an estimated value of about RM5 million a month. The raids followed about 12 months of intelligence gathering, and the suspects are believed to have received between RM30,000 and RM50,000 in bribes for each smuggling trip conducted. The network involving the officers is believed to be large and complex. In the Wednesday operation, MACC also seized over RM63,000 in cash, several packages suspected to contain drugs, weighing and measuring equipment, liquor and imitation firearms found at the raided premises. Meanwhile, MACC Intelligence Division Senior Director Datuk Saiful Ezral Arifin said the suspects are being investigated for corruption and money laundering offences. — Bernama

Chinese national arrested after allegedly assaulting KLIA immigration officer in scuffle over missing entry records
PUTRAJAYA, Aug 14 — A Chinese national was arrested after allegedly acting aggressively and injuring an Immigration counter officer during a departure inspection at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 yesterday. In the 7.40 pm incident, the woman, who was with a man and two children, approached the counter for immigration departure inspection when the officer on duty found that they had no records of entry into Malaysia, and referred the matter to the supervisor for further checks. The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) said the suspect was dissatisfied when told to let other passengers through while the checks were being done, before hurling abuse at the officer, pulling her headscarf and pushing her head towards a pillar in front of the counter. 'A brief scuffle ensued, and the suspect refused to calm down even when instructed. AKPS enforcement officers then called in the Aviation Security (AVSEC) team to diffuse the situation,' the AKPS said in a statement today. Following the incident, the officer sustained swelling around her left eye, a headache on the right side of her head and body aches and was referred to Cyberjaya Hospital. A police report was made, and the suspect is under police custody for investigation under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant in the discharge of their public functions, Section 332 for injuring a public servant and Section 353 for using criminal force to deter a public servant from performing their duty. — Bernama
