In a statement, the AGC said the appeal was filed against the sentence handed down to Tengku Abdul Aziz, who pleaded guilty under Section 182 of the Penal Code for providing false information to a public servant.
An appeal was also filed against the sentence imposed on Tengku Nizaruddin, who pleaded guilty to abetting the provision of false information under Section 109 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 182 of the same code.
"This department refers to the Muar Magistrates' Court decision on July 25, 2025, which imposed a sentence of one month's imprisonment from the date of conviction on July 25, 2025, and a fine of RM1,500, in default three months' imprisonment on both offenders, Tengku Abdul Aziz and Tengku Nizaruddin.
"After examining and considering the decision of the Muar Magistrates' Court, this department has filed a notice of appeal today against the sentence handed down to both offenders," it said.
On July 25, the Muar Magistrates' Court sentenced Tengku Nizaruddin, 38, also known as 'Ija', and Tengku Abdul Aziz, 30, to one month's imprisonment and a RM1,500 fine after both pleaded guilty to the charge.
The court ordered both siblings to begin serving their jail terms on July 25 or face three months' imprisonment if they failed to pay the fine. – Bernama

Man found dead near railway tracks was strangled

The man's body was discovered by a member of the public with his hands and feet bound and his head wrapped in cloth and secured with black and white tape. 01 Aug 2025 08:33pm A post-mortem on the body of a man found near the railway tracks in Sungai Serian, Kalumpang, Hulu Selangor yesterday confirmed that the victim died from strangulation using a rope. KUALA LUMPUR - A post-mortem on the body of a man found near the railway tracks in Sungai Serian, Kalumpang, Hulu Selangor yesterday confirmed that the victim died from strangulation using a rope. Hulu Selangor district police chief Supt Ibrahim Husin said the victim's identity has yet to be determined, and the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. "There were strangulation marks on the victim's neck, believed to have been caused by a rope. The marks are suspected to match the rope (resembling a chain) worn around the victim's neck,' he said in a statement today. The man's body was discovered by a member of the public at around 10.30 am yesterday, with his hands and feet bound, and his head wrapped in cloth and secured with black and white tape. According to Ibrahim, preliminary investigations suggest the body was likely thrown off the Kampung Sungai Serian bridge, which is 11.15 metres high. Checks also revealed that the victim had been dead for more than four days, and no identification documents were found on him. Members of the public with information are urged to contact investigating officer Insp Mohamad Fadli Abdul Aziz at 03-6064 1222 or the nearest police station. - BERNAMA Kampung Sungai Serian bridge

Unemployed man gets death penalty for murder of 3-year-old in Langkawi

KUALA LUMPUR: The Alor Setar High Court has sentenced a 44-year-old unemployed man to death for the murder of a three-year-old girl in Langkawi six years ago. Ramlan Abdul Rashid was found guilty of killing Nur Aisyah Aleya Abdullah at a hospital staff quarters between 9 am and 10 am on Feb 23, 2019, under Section 302 of the Penal Code. Justice Evawani Farisyta Mohammad, in her written judgment published on the judiciary's website on July 31, stated that the victim died from prolonged physical abuse. The court noted the accused showed no remorse and callously disposed of the child's body in a forested area at Gunung Raya without proper burial rites. Forensic evidence confirmed the skull and two teeth found at the scene belonged to the victim. The judge emphasized that the accused, entrusted with the child's care, failed in his duty to protect her. The victim's mother had left her daughter in Ramlan's care while working at a food stall. In January 2019, she moved to a hostel, leaving the child with the accused. A month later, she reported her daughter missing after failing to locate her during a visit. Ramlan initially claimed he handed the girl to another person but refused to disclose details. Police later discovered the remains in March 2019. Deputy public prosecutor Mohd Rizal Fadzil led the prosecution, while the accused was represented by lawyer Ai Cha Ran. - Bernama
