Trial opens for three women who allegedly organised procession outside Istana in Singapore

Mossammad Sobikun Nahar, 26, Siti Amirah Mohamed Asrori, 30, and Annamalai Kokila Parvathi, 36, appeared in the State Courts for the first day of their joint trial on Tuesday (July 1). The women each face one charge of organising a procession along the perimeter of the Istana, which is a prohibited area, under the Public Order Act. They are accused of organising the procession on Feb 2, 2024, to publicise the cause of solidarity with Palestine. Investigation Officer Muhammad Faizal, testifying as the first prosecution witness, said he was tasked to investigate an event called Letters for Palestine at the Istana. He took the court through CCTV footage that showed a group of around 70 people had gathered outside Plaza Singapura before walking to the Istana while holding open umbrellas painted with a watermelon graphic. The footage showed that Sobikun led the group along Orchard Road, Buyong Road and Cavenagh Road as they made their way to the rear entrance of the Istana. When the group reached the rear entrance of the Istana, they formed up, with a number of them holding up watermelon umbrellas and posing for photos, he said. He also pointed to how Amirah was seen holding a stack of letters and fanning them out while taking photos. During the cross-examination, defence lawyer Surian Sidambaram asked IO Faizal if this event, Letters for Palestine, involved people handing letters to the Prime Minister's Office. The IO said yes. Surian asked if there were any signs along the route to the Istana warning that a group of people walking over to hand-deliver letters to the Prime Minister's Office constituted an offence. The IO replied no. Mr Surian then asked IO Faizal if he was aware that on Jan 11, 2024, three weeks before the alleged procession in this current case, a group of 17 people had hand-delivered letters to the Prime Minister's Office using the same route. The IO replied that he was made aware of that case through the course of his investigations, but could not speak on the cause the 17 people were showing support for. Surian said: 'One of my clients' defences is that they were not aware that using that route to hand-deliver letters to the Prime Minister's Office was an offence. 'Given that there had been a similar event three weeks prior for the same cause and no action was taken, that led them to believe that it was legal and that they were not organising a procession in a prohibited area.' The defence lawyer then made an application to enter into evidence five past cases where people hand-delivered letters for various causes, but no action was said to have been taken. Deputy Public Prosecutor Sunil Nair objected to this, noting that there were insufficient details of the past incidents to make accurate comparisons. 'There could be various reasons why no action was taken, but this cannot be a reason for an offender to contravene the law,' said the prosecutor. In reply, Surian said: 'My clients saw the past events and nothing happened, so they thought they had the rights to organise their own event.' After hearing both sides, District Judge John Ng rejected the defence's application to enter evidence of the past cases for the current trial. Addressing Surian, Judge Ng said: 'If there's a boy throwing a stone at a shopping centre window, a second boy would not be able to say that the first boy was not caught and not charged, so 'I could do it too'. That is not a valid defence.' The trial continues. - The Straits Times/ANN

55 vetted for free Rumah Kasih Johor homes
JOHOR BAHRU: A total of 55 candidates from various districts in Johor have been vetted to receive free homes under the Rumah Kasih Johor (RKJ) programme. Johor Housing and Local Government Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Jafni Shukor said that 36 candidates would be supported, 18 rejected, and the remaining one would be suspended pending further evaluation. He said that candidates were selected during an RKJ selection committee meeting that he chaired today, with presentations by seven district offices – Batu Pahat, Mersing, Kota Tinggi, Kulai, Pontian, Johor Bahru, and Kluang. "The meeting is a manifestation of the state government's determination to ensure that selection is fair and based on the true needs of the public. "We cannot only view it from the administrative aspect, but view it with empathy and integrity so that the homes given can really be a ray of hope to those who have been neglected," he said, adding that the decision was made through consensus and based on strict criteria. Machap, Kota Iskandar, Johor Jaya, Tiram, Mahkota, Mengkibol, Paloh, Tenggaroh, Semarang, Seri Medan, Pekan Nenas, Panti, Pasir Raja, Johor Lama, Layang-Layang, Kahang, Penawar, and Kukup were among the state constituencies involved in the programme, and Kota Iskandar assemblyman Datuk Pandak Ahmad and Penawar assemblyman Fauziah Misri were also present at the meeting. The Johor government allocated RM67 million for the building of 500 free units under the RKJ programme, while in 2023, 50 units worth RM6.5 million were completed and handed to recipients, Mohd Jafni said. "This year, 165 units worth RM22 million are in the process of technical investigation and site visits, with the first building phase starting on May 15," he added.— BERNAMA

Gig workers bill to be tabled in parliament by September, says Ahmad Zahid
BANGI: The Gig Workers Bill, a pioneering legislation designed to safeguard gig economy workers in Malaysia, is expected to be tabled in Parliament by August or September, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced today. Speaking after the Sharing Economy and Gig Industry Roundtable Session, Ahmad Zahid highlighted that the bill would be the first of its kind globally, offering dedicated protections for over 1.12 million Malaysians engaged in the sector. 'Several countries have amended existing laws to include gig workers, but Malaysia is introducing a new act specifically for this industry,' he said. The bill aligns with efforts to build a fair, inclusive, and resilient future economy. Ahmad Zahid noted that the International Labour Organisation (ILO) has shown interest in learning from Malaysia's approach in drafting the legislation. This was conveyed by Malaysian Gig Community Secretariat chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin, who is currently in Geneva to discuss the bill with the ILO. Additionally, the soon-to-be-established Malaysian Gig Economy Commission (SEGiM) will play a crucial role in the national gig economy ecosystem. The commission, under the Prime Minister's Department, will oversee implementation, coordination, and compliance within the sector. 'SEGiM will strengthen self-regulation among platform providers while ensuring transparent policy enforcement,' Ahmad Zahid said. The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation will continue as the technical secretariat, consolidating industry feedback and coordinating with the Human Resource Ministry. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had earlier assured that all welfare concerns for gig workers would be addressed through the bill. Also present at the session were Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said and Deputy Human Resource Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad.
