Secret 'gay party' in rural Kelantan sparks outrage among villagers
KOTA BARU: The quiet village of Kampung Kemumin, near Pengkalan Chepa, has been rocked by the shocking revelation of a secret gathering of more than 100 gay men. The event was held last month and exposed recently by Kelantan police. It has sparked outrage and disbelief in a community known for its strong Islamic values. One resident, who wished to be known only as Norliza, said the news was a bombshell. "I was completely shocked when I heard about the raid. Our village has never seen anything like this, not in Kelantan," said the 38-year-old eatery owner. Norliza said she learnt of the incident when the village head stopped by her shop on Thursday to share details from a police press conference. "To hear that it was a gay gathering and that police found condoms and HIV medication at the scene was deeply shocking. "We've always assumed such things only happen in big cities. Never here, in our backyard." She said the incident had severely tarnished the state's image. A labourer who only wanted to be known as Ahmad, 53, described the news as disturbing but necessary to confront. "It's a bitter pill to swallow, but this is the reality. Kelantan may be very Islamic, but that doesn't make it immune to immoral activities. "People need to wake up. These things are happening." He said the raid had opened villagers' eyes to the possibility of other unhealthy activities taking place in secret. "We were all taken aback when we heard that police raided a bungalow rented by the group. "Who knows what else could be going on under our noses?" A check at the homestay used for the gathering showed that it was operating as usual, with several guests seen on the premises. The property is at the edge of the village, near a riverbank. Kota Baru police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Rosdi Daud said investigations were ongoing. "We have detained three people and they have been charged under Section 292 of the Penal Code for possessing obscene materials. "Others were released after having their statements recorded. If necessary, we will call them back for further investigation."

(Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Police have crippled a drug distribution syndicate based in the northern region following the arrest of three people in three separate raids across the Klang Valley and Penang on July 12. Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the simultaneous operations by the Bukit Aman narcotics criminal investigation department also saw the seizure of a huge amount of heroin base and heroin, with an estimated total value of RM4.13 million. He said police arrested the first suspect after intercepting a car parked by the roadside at USJ 19/4 in Subang Jaya, Selangor. They found 14.52kg of heroin base and 920g of heroin hidden in a bag inside a specially concealed compartment behind the rear passenger seat. 'The next raid was at a house in Seri Kembangan, Selangor, where the second suspect was arrested and 22.55kg of heroin base seized from the premises. 'The third suspect was detained at an eatery in Permatang Pauh, Penang, which then led to the inspection of a nearby house where police discovered 7.456kg of heroin base,' Bernama quoted him as saying today. Hussein said the suspect arrested in Penang is believed to be the mastermind of the syndicate, which had been active since early last year. He said the mastermind sourced drugs from a neighbouring country and handed them to the other two suspects, who transported the drugs from Penang to the Klang Valley, earning up to RM4,000 a trip. 'Heroin base is the 'mother' of drugs, being the raw form that is later processed into various grades of heroin and sold at higher prices,' he said. The first and second suspects have been remanded for five days starting July 13, while the third suspect is under a six-day remand. The case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 for drug trafficking.

Penang deputy police chief Alwi Zainal Abidin said investigations revealed the suspects' involvement in five other paint-splashing cases. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Two suspected members of a loan shark syndicate have been arrested in connection with a fire that destroyed three houses in Tasek Gelugor, Penang, on June 24. Penang deputy police chief Alwi Zainal Abidin said the men, both in their 20s, were detained by the state commercial crime investigation department in two separate raids in Penang on July 3. They are also suspected of being involved in a paint vandalism incident at a house in Tanjung Tokong on June 30. 'The raids led to the seizure of several items, including a motorcycle, a pair of sport rims, a helmet, mobile phones, a sling bag and clothing belonging to the suspects. 'During interrogation, both suspects admitted to their involvement in the case of arson that destroyed three double-storey terrace houses,' Bernama reported him as saying. He said investigations also revealed the suspects' involvement in five other paint-splashing cases currently being investigated. The fire on June 24 broke out at about 4.50am at Taman Tasek Gelugor Utama, causing losses estimated at RM300,000. Five cars and four motorcycles were also damaged. One of the victims later claimed on Facebook that the fire was related to loan shark activities and was possibly meant to target another house in the area. A homeowner had reportedly received a warning letter demanding repayment of a debt, but was not residing in any of the three houses that were set on fire.
