Police report against Tei
Published on: Friday, July 04, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 04, 2025 Text Size: Johnny with UPPM members after lodging the report. PAPAR: A police report has been lodged by Community Development Leader (PPM) for Limbahau, Datuk Johnny Mositun, against Albert Tei Jiann Cheing for alleged defamatory and seditious remarks made during a media conference outside the High Court, here, on Monday. The report was lodged at Papar police station on Wednesday. Advertisement 'Albert made malicious, false and defamatory statements against the Chief Minister, the State Assembly Speaker and several other assemblymen,' Johny said in the report. He said Albert also alleged that the leaders were conspiring to obstruct investigations and claimed there was a plot to harm him, including the possibility of being kidnapped or murdered. 'These are extremely serious criminal accusations and seditious in nature,' he said. Johny said Albert's statements gave the impression that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the Attorney General's Chambers were conducting selective investigations and prosecutions, which could undermine public confidence in the justice system. 'Albert's actions could constitute contempt of court (subjudice) as the matter is currently before the courts,' he said. He said the report was lodged to urge police to investigate the matter and take appropriate legal enforcement action against Albert. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Fact Check: Don't be fooled by this video claiming to show Iran downing Israeli fighter jets
Claim: Footage authentically showed Iranian forces downing Israeli F-35 fighter jets. Rating: Context: The footage circulated online weeks before Israel launched attacks on Iran on June 13, 2025. Versions of the footage seen before June 13 included the words "sim" or "simulation" in their title or caption, indicating the footage was not authentic. In mid-June 2025, after Israel launched deadly attacks on Iran, a video (archived) circulated online claiming to show Iranian forces shooting down Israeli F-35 fighter jets. (X user @Johny_boy_143) The claim circulated on X (archived), Facebook (archived), Instagram (archived) and TikTok (archived). According to the Iranian Army, the country's armed forces downed (archived) two Israeli fighter jets on June 13 and another (archived) on June 14. The condition of the pilots of the June 13 planes was unknown (archived), the army said. The Iranian Army arrested (archived) the pilot of the June 14 plane, according to the army's Telegram channel. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) international spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani, however, called (archived) reports that Iran downed two Israeli army jets "Fake News" on June 14. Though it remained unconfirmed at the time of this writing whether Iran had shot down any Israeli fighter jets — and, if so, whether these were F-35 aircraft — it was clear that this specific footage was miscaptioned and did not show the alleged downing. The footage circulated (archived) as early as May 18, 2025, nearly a month before Israel launched attacks on Iran. Additionally, versions of the footage from May and early June included the word "sim" or "simulation" in the title or caption, indicating the footage was not authentic. Though the origin of the footage remained uncertain at the time of this writing, it was clear from the early postings it did not show Israeli fighter jets on June 13 or 14. The IDF referred us to Shoshani's X post when asked about the reported loss of Israeli fighter jets and declined to comment on what type of planes the Israeli Air Force used. According to Lockheed Martin, which produces the F-35, Israel was the first foreign nation to purchase the planes in 2010. We reached out to the government of Iran for authentic evidence of the downed jets and the reportedly arrested pilot and await a reply. A spokesperson for Eagle Dynamics, whose Digital Combat Simulator World (DCS World) program users credited as the origin of the miscaptioned footage, said via email that its simulator could create "very realistic aerial combat scenes." However, the spokesperson said, Eagle Dynamics could not confirm whether the circulating footage came from DCS World. According to video captions, the footage showed the fictional/simulated downing of two Russian-made Sukhoi Su-57 fighter jets. An aircraft with the same white/dark markings as seen in Russian pictures of the Su-57 can be seen at 00:45 in the footage. The F-35, by contrast, is delivered from the factory uniformly gray, a color that the Israeli Air Force largely kept, according to Lockheed Martin's website. @aja_media.

Johnny Lever says Hera Pheri 3 ‘won't be fun' without Paresh Rawal: 'I feel that they should...'
Johny Lever, who is also part of Hera Pheri 3, says that there won't be fun with Paresh Rawal and opined that he should do the film read more Following Paresh Rawal's exit from Hera Pheri 3, a major controversy erupted over his unprofessional behaviour. While co-star and producer Akshay Kumar has sued the actor for taking the advance payment of Rs 11 lakh and leaving the film midway, Rawal returned the fee with 15 per cent interest and accused him of not delivering the screenplay of the movie. Now Johny Lever, who is also part of Hera Pheri 3 , says that there won't be fun with Paresh Rawal and opined that he should do the film. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Mujhe lagta hai ki kar lena chahiye unko film, baithke baat karein, matter solve karein kyunki fans bohut miss karenge Paresh ji ko film mein, maza nahi aayega na waisa unke bina. To baat karke solve karlena chahiye, meri nazar mein to yahi sahi hai (I feel that they should do the film, sit and talk, solve the matter, because fans will miss Paresh ji a lot. It will not be fun without him. So they should talk and solve the matter),' said Johny while talking to Zoom. Johny also shared how he was approached for the movie and said, 'Mujhe bhi Hera Pheri ki dhamki aa chuki hai, ki aap booked ho (Even I've received the Hera Pheri warning – that I'm already booked).' Akshay Kumar spoke about his feud with Paresh Rawal at the Housefull 5 trailer launch and shared, 'Jo bhi kuch hai I don't think this is a place where I will talk about it because it is a very serious matter. It is a matter which is going to be handled by the court so I don't think I am going to speak about it here.' Speaking to the same publication, Suniel Shetty also seconded Johny's opinion and said, 'A film becomes iconic when the audience remembers the characters. This is not Suniel, Akshay, and Paresh; it was Raju, Shyam, and Babu Rao. Nobody can replace those 3 characters, and even when Kartik was considered for the movie, he was never going to replace Raju; it was for a different role altogether.'
