Indonesian man held over suspicious entry stamps
PUTRAJAYA: An Indonesian man was detained on Saturday afternoon after being found with suspicious security stamps during immigration checks at the departure hall of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1. Initial investigations revealed that he had entered Malaysia via the Pasir Gudang entry point in Johor on July 18, 2022, and was recorded as having left the country through KLIA on Aug 13, 2022. 'However, several entry and exit security stamps bearing his name from 2022 to 2025 raised doubts,' said the Malaysian Checkpoints and Border Agency yesterday, Bernama reported. Further checks through the system found no official records of the man's movements in or out of Malaysia during that period. He later admitted to investigators that he had never left Malaysia since 2022 and had paid RM4,000 to obtain the fake stamps. The agency said the case pointed to possible involvement in a 'flying' syndicate, a term used for fraudulent immigration stamping. Further investigations will be carried out to identify those behind the activity and to pursue disciplinary action and criminal charges.

Tussle over custody behind 6-year-old's murder, say police
Family members awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination in Rembau on July 29 after the body of M Tishant was found in Jempol. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Family matters, including arguments over child custody, are believed to be the main motive behind the murder of six-year-old M Tishant, according to Negeri Sembilan police. State police chief Ahmad Dzaffir Yussof said the police had not discovered any other motive so far. He said the boy's parents were in the process of getting separated and were battling for custody, according to a Kosmo report. Dzaffir said that Tishant's body had been buried in Jempol as the suspect was familiar with the area. The boy was reported missing at Taman Bukit Indah in Johor on July 24 but was found buried in Jempol four days later. The body was discovered after Tishant's 36-year-old father was arrested. An autopsy found that he had been strangled to death with a cable tie.
