> A man's simple act of kindness captured attention after a video of him helping a Chinese tourist went viral, Utusan Malaysia reported.
Tumin Wahab, 67, said the incident occurred on the afternoon of May 16 as he was selling tissues near an LRT station. He noticed the woman, who was alone and anxious, struggling for directions to the Masjid Jamek LRT station.
'Although she wasn't fluent in English, I could understand that she needed to get to Masjid Jamek. She said she had asked others but received no help, so I gave her directions,' he said.
Concerned for her well-being, Tumin later returned to the station and bought her a train token to ensure she reached her destination safely.
On May 22, the woman returned to thank him before heading back to China. She also took a photo with Tumin.

Abdullah Ang, inmate who had water bed in Kajang Prison, has died
PETALING JAYA: Ang Swee Kang, a former managing director of the now-defunct Malaysian Overseas Investment Corporation who sparked national outrage in 1989 for receiving luxury and privileged treatment while jailed in Kajang Prison, has died. Better known as Abdullah Ang, 79, he breathed his last on Wednesday (May 28) after a long illness. Ang, who was sentenced to eight years' jail and fined RM100,000 in 1986 for criminal breach of trust involving over RM338,000, was embroiled in another scandal just three years later during incarceration when an English-language daily revealed he was receiving special treatment in Kajang prison. It was reported that unbefitting for a prisoner, Ang's cell Was furnished with a carpet, refrigerator, TV, video player and a water bed. The newspaper also revealed that investigations revealed Ang, who was said to be close to the then-prime minister Tun Mahathir Mohamed, also frequently left prison grounds to manage his business in Kuala Lumpur. This triggered public uproar over preferential treatment for wealthy or well-connected inmates. Soon after, several prison officials faced inquiries and a shake-up of the Prisons Department followed. Ang's former legal adviser, Selva Sugumaran, who worked for Ang for over 25 years, told The Star that the businessman had been unwell for eight years and was frequently hospitalised. He said Ang had ventured into business soon after his release from prison and ran a latex glove manufacturing company. Selva, 64, said he and Ang stayed in touch over the years until his demise on Wednesday. Ang's funeral is scheduled for this coming Monday (June 2) in Kuala Lumpur.

#SHOWBIZ: Tony Eusoff: 'I'm barred from entering Singapore'
KUALA LUMPUR: Actor Tony Eusoff has said that he remains barred from entering Singapore following his past drug conviction. In a news report today, the 48-year-old actor, whose real name is Anthony Joseph Hermas Rajiman, revealed that he has attempted to apply for permission to enter the island republic several times since his release in 2016, but without success. "So far, I have applied (for the permit via online application) three or four times. But there has been no response yet," he said. Tony, who was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment in Singapore in April 2016 for possession of Class A controlled drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act, accepts the consequences of his actions. "I don't blame anyone. What has happened is the repercussion of my own shortcomings. I admit that I'm the one who didn't respect the laws of the country. Now I have to bear the consequences." Despite his past, Tony expressed gratitude for an early release. "But I'm grateful that I was released three months early. I believe everything happens for a reason. It was the lesson of my life," he added. Despite being barred from entering the country, Tony is thankful that his drama series was permitted to air there. "I was offered to act in a drama series titled 'Chiron', which was aired on Mediacorp's Suria channel. "What impressed me was that the production was willing to come to Malaysia to film my scenes, as I could not go there due to the ban. "And I even won an award for my acting in the drama series. Life is strange sometimes," he said.

Saifuddin Nasution's Whatsapp account hacked using foreign VPN
KUALA LUMPUR: The WhatsApp account of Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has been hacked using a foreign virtual private network (VPN). Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) acting director Datuk Seri Muhammed Hasbullah Ali said that after accessing the minister's WhatsApp account, the suspect sent his URL links to all his contacts on the app. 'So far, there have been no complaints of individuals suffering losses due to the incident. Swift action by the minister's officers, who immediately reported the incident, prevented anyone from being deceived. 'Police are investigating the case under Section 4(1) of the Computer Crimes Act 1997,' he told a media conference here today. On Monday, the Home Minister's office said the WhatsApp account of Saifuddin Nasution had been hacked and that the matter had been reported to the authorities. In another development, Muhammed Hasbullah said they have busted a phone scam syndicate targeting Japanese nationals following a raid on a three-storey bungalow in Kajang on May 13. He said the raid, by a team from the Bukit Aman CCID, also arrested eight individuals, comprising two Chinese and six Japanese nationals aged between 23 and 56, who operated as the call centre's agents. 'Also seized were seven iPads, one laptop, nine mobile phones, nine modems, one set of scripts and a bunch of keys, with the total seizure estimated at RM25,000,' he said, adding that the raid was a result of intelligence and information gathered regarding the call centre's scam activities. Muhammed Hasbullah said preliminary investigations found that the syndicate had been operating for the past two months posing as the Osaka Police in Japan to deceive victims. 'The syndicate would send messages via short messaging service (SMS) to victims claiming that police had detained individuals involved in fraud cases and found bank cards registered under the victims' names. The victims would then be contacted using a voice call, purportedly for further investigation. 'After being deceived, the victims will be asked to provide personal information and to transfer a certain amount of cash to accounts controlled by the syndicate. After all the information and cash had been obtained, the syndicate will terminate all communications and the victims won't be able to contact them anymore,' he said. He added that the two Chinese nationals detained have been charged under Section 29(1) of the Minor Offences Act 1955 and Section 15(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1956/63 on May 22, while the six Japanese nationals will be charged on June 3.
