Johor cops detain four bikers for reckless riding in Iskandar Puteri
ISKANDAR PUTERI: Police have arrested four local men for performing dangerous stunts on motorcycles, including 'Superman' poses, during an early morning patrol near the Second Link Expressway. Iskandar Puteri OCPD Asst Comm M. Kumarasan said the suspects, aged between 18 and 25, were detained early Sunday morning (Aug 10) between KM15J and KM12.9J of the expressway heading towards Gelang Patah. 'They were riding without regard for their own safety and that of other road users,' he said, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. ACP Kumarasan said police would continue to step up operations and take stern action against stubborn road bullies and illegal racers who endanger others. He also reminded teenagers to stay away from such immoral activities or risk facing the full brunt of the law. 'Parents and guardians must monitor their children's movements, especially those going out at night on motorcycles. Don't wait until it's too late to regret,' he said. In an unrelated matter, ACP Kumarasan confirmed two unrelated fatal accidents that claimed the lives of two 20-year-old local men. He said the first incident occurred at about 8.30pm on Saturday along Jalan Nusa Perintis towards Nusantara and involved an orange-coloured motorcycle and a silver four-wheel-drive vehicle. 'Initial investigations found that the motorcyclist had rammed into the rear of the moving vehicle. The victim suffered injuries to his right arm and internal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene,' he said. ACP Kumarasan added that the second accident took place at 3am on Sunday along Lebuh Nusajaya heading towards Gelang Patah and involved a silver motorcycle and a black car. He said the motorcyclist had switched to the right lane to make a U-turn when it was hit from behind by the car travelling straight in the same lane. 'The impact threw the rider onto the car's windscreen. He died at the scene from severe head injuries,' he said. ACP Kumarasan added that both cases are being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving.

JDT trounce Selangor 3-0, to lift Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup for the 10th time
ISKANDAR PUTERI, Aug 9 — Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) continue to excel in a class of their own after defending the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup champion title for the eighth consecutive time by defeating Selangor FC 3-0 in the Charity Shield match here, last night. The victory in the opening match of the Malaysia League (M-League) at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium, Iskandar Puteri also gave JDT three points, thus enabling the Southern Tigers to get the perfect start in their mission to win the Super League for the 12th time in a row. In JDT's first competitive match under their new Spanish coach, Xisco Munoz last night, new striker Jairo Da Silva from Brazil, defender Eddy Israfilov and agile winger Arif Aiman Mohd Hanapi each made their name as scorers in each half. Da Silva, a former striker for Cyprus club Pafos FC, punished the negligence of Selangor's defence as early as the first minute when he quickly found space to finish off Jonathan Silva's cross from the left, putting JDT ahead 1-0. Selangor under coach Kinoshi Katsuhito, who rarely create dangerous moves, wasted a golden opportunity to equalise in the 42nd minute when striker Chrigor Moraes failed to beat goalkeeper Ahmad Syihan Hazmi Mohamed in a one on one situation. Continuing the second half, Selangor goalkeeper Kalamullah Al Hafiz Mat Rowi performed brilliantly when denying two close-range attempts by JDT, each by Jaoa Figuiredo in the 51st minute and substitute striker Bergson Da Silva in the 62nd minute. However, he was beaten for the second time when Israfilov jumped high to head in Arif Aiman's corner kick for JDT's second goal in the 64th minute, which delighted about 32,777 spectators in the stadium. Arif Aiman completed JDT's stylish victory with a third goal after he, who was not well guarded, made a run into the penalty box and fired a powerful shot that Kalamullah failed to save in the 73rd minute. The 3-0 score remained until the final whistle and was enough to allow JDT to win the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup for the 10th time since the 2015 season. The clash between JDT and Selangor last night is also considered a 'deferred revenge' after the last edition's meeting had to be cancelled following Selangor's withdrawal at the last minute. At that time, Selangor had to withdraw following criminal incidents that befell several of their players, including the acid attack incident on Faisal Halim on May 5 last year. Following that, JDT was declared a 3-0 'free win' and earned three Super League points. — Bernama

Johor homestay operator settles RM70,000 piracy case with Astro
Astro's chief sales and marketing officer Tai Kam Leong said the case highlighted the spread of content piracy. (File pic) PETALING JAYA : A Johor-based homestay operator has reached a RM70,000 settlement with Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd over the illegal streaming of the broadcaster's content. In a statement, Astro said this was the first time its subsidiary Measat Broadcast Systems Sdn Bhd had resolved a piracy case involving a short-term rental business. Astro's chief sales and marketing officer Tai Kam Leong said the case highlighted the spread of content piracy. 'Whether it's a hotel, café or short-term rental, those in the hospitality sector must understand using TV boxes to stream content without a commercial licence is unlawful and undermines the creative economy,' he said. In November 2022, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that broadcasting content from unauthorised sources for commercial use without the proper licence was illegal. The homestay operator, registered as The Cactus X Empire, was found to have used unauthorised streaming devices to broadcast Astro channels at rental units in Iskandar Puteri and Johor Bahru without a commercial subscription. Under the settlement, it agreed to pay RM46,000 in damages and legal costs, subscribe to five AstroBIZone commercial packages valued at RM24,000 for at least 12 months and issue a formal apology on its official Facebook page. The apology posted on the Cactus Homestay JB Facebook page acknowledged the infringement and urged others in the hospitality industry to use only licensed sources for entertainment content. 'We unequivocally condemn all forms of piracy and affirm our commitment to respecting Astro's intellectual property rights now and in the future. We are grateful to Astro for allowing us the opportunity to rectify our actions,' said the operator. In January, Measat was awarded RM175,000 in another case involving the unauthorised streaming of its premium content. The same High Court ruled in favour of Measat on Jan 7, after Frenz Pool Café and Tuwang 69 Sdn Bhd were found to have streamed an English Premier League match without permission. The court also issued a permanent injunction against the two companies, barring them from further unauthorised use of Astro's content.
