Repo man fined RM2,800 for trespassing into car owner's home
SUNGAI PETANI: A car repossession agent was fined RM2,800 by the magistrate's court here after pleading guilty to trespassing into a vehicle owner's home in Bandar Amanjaya on Saturday. Magistrate Khairatul Animah Jelani handed down the sentence to Muhammad Aiman Mudzakir Azmi, 24, following his guilty plea when the charge was read out in court. Muhammad Aiman admitted to trespassing into the home of the car owner, despite the gate being locked, around 7pm on June 14. The charge was framed under Section 448 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum sentence of three years' imprisonment, or a fine of up to RM5,000, or both, upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Nur Hazwani Md Noor prosecuted, while Muhammad Aiman was represented by a lawyer from the National Legal Aid Foundation. Muhammad Aiman appealed for the minimum possible fine, citing his guilty plea, which had saved the court's time.

[Watch] Dashcam Footage Emerges Of Fatal Bus Crash That Killed 15 UPSI Students
Subscribe to our FREE Dashcam videos have emerged showing the final moments before a deadly bus crash on the Jeli-Gerik highway that killed 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students and injured 30 others. One of the footage, recorded at 12:57 AM, shows the bus moving at high speed and seemingly overtaking other vehicles dangerously before losing control on a curve. The bus was carrying mostly university students returning to campus after Hari Raya holiday when it flipped over and slid across the highway. The 29-second dashcam footage shows the bus driving at high speed and following other cars too closely before overtaking them. When the bus approached a gentle right curve in the road, it began drifting toward the shoulder. The vehicle then lost control completely and overturned, sliding on its side for three seconds before coming to a stop. Sparks fly as the bus scraped along the road surface, with windows shattering during the crash. Second Angle Emerges Meanwhile, another dashcam video from a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction has emerged, providing a clearer view of the bus's movements moments before the crash. The footage shows the bus seemingly overtaking other vehicles dangerously on a sharp corner despite the dark, winding road conditions. The witness placed responsibility squarely on the driver: 'I blame the driver. During a curve, he still insisted on overtaking. That road isn't one-way, it's a two-way road. What's wrong with driving a bit slower, Allah…' This second angle reinforced witness accounts of the bus driver's alleged dangerous driving behaviour, showing it overtaking multiple vehicles on the narrow, winding road just before the fatal collision. Eyewitness: Bus Was Driving Erratically A witness, Muhammad Aiman, was driving on the same highway and He said the bus had been following him for several kilometres before the crash. I only followed for a short while, about 15 minutes, because I was about to turn into my housing area. Before entering the housing area at Bukit Bunga ICQS (Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security Complex), and after he overtook me at high speed at Bukit Bunga, I saw him overtaking other cars as well. Aiman slowed down to keep a distance from the erratic bus before it disappeared ahead and crashed. The dashcam footage has led to a debate on social media about the responsibilities of witnesses to road accidents. Critics expressed disappointment that witnesses didn't stop to help, while others who defend the dashcam owner explained the practical challenges. Owner dashcam dah serah pun rakaman dekat polis. Itu pun dah membantu. Plus tempat kejadian kawasan berselekoh, gelap dengan sisi jalan yang sempit. Tak ada tempat untuk berhenti and bahaya jugak sbb ada risiko kereta dari belakang pulak datang hentam. — ALAN KENA SABAR (@IniAlalalannn) The Driver Who Said No Bus driver Mat Seman Che Lah was originally scheduled to drive that night but 'They wanted me to drive the university students that night,' Mat Seman said. But I told them I couldn't because we were driving back to Kuala Lumpur. A replacement driver, Mohd Amirul Fadhil Zulkifle took over the route. The next morning, Mat Seman's family learned about the crash while having breakfast and watching the news. Meanwhile, a surviving student has come forward with disturbing details about the driver's behaviour in the moments leading up to the fatal crash. According to her account, Driver Apologises, Claims Brake Failure as Police Reveal Traffic Violations Mohd Amirul, 39, The driver, who has been driving since 2016, said he shouted warnings to students and desperately tried to avoid other vehicles for over a kilometre before the bus overturned, explaining that what appeared to be reckless overtaking was his attempt to prevent colliding with other cars. He stated that after regaining consciousness from the crash, he crawled out through the broken windscreen and helped students escape while feeling devastated by the tragedy that claimed 15 lives. Police have confirmed the driver had The driver, currently hospitalised in Taiping, Perak, with a broken left hand awaiting surgery, maintains this was his first fatal accident and has left the investigation to the police. Nation Mourns as Sultan of Perak Calls for Action As the nation mourns the tragic loss of the 15 UPSI students, the Sultan of Perak has called for immediate preventive measures following the increasing frequency of fatal road accidents. Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah has decreed that this deadly crash on the East-West Highway should The Sultan has ordered authorities to identify existing weaknesses and implement improvements, particularly in law enforcement and regulations, to prevent such tragedies from recurring. Among the victims was a young man who had prepared a special flower arrangement as a Muhammad Aiman Hazman Halim, 32, said his late brother Adib had created the flower arrangement as a token of love for their 69-year-old mother to celebrate her birthday, which the family had celebrated together the previous Sunday.

46th ASEAN Summit cements Malaysia's status as regional leader and economic hub
By AUFA MARDHIAH MALAYSIA'S role as host of the 46th ASEAN Summit has reinforced its standing as a diplomatic and economic leader in the region, while bringing immediate benefits across tourism, trade, infrastructure, and international branding. The gathering of regional leaders, government officials, business executives and foreign media has turned Kuala Lumpur into a temporary centre for high-level economic activity, said Universiti Malaya's Department of Social Science lecturer Muhammad Aiman Asyraf Hanafi. 'One of the most direct impacts was seen in the tourism and hospitality sector, where hotels, restaurants, transportation providers and event venues experienced a surge in demand. 'This concentrated activity boosts revenue in the services sector and generates short-term employment,' he said in a statement. Additionally, local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) also benefit from increased exposure through exhibitions, networking sessions and forums held on the sidelines of the Summit. Entrepreneurs in halal food, digital services, green technology and manufacturing are given platforms to engage potential regional partners and expand export visibility. 'ASEAN events like this present valuable opportunities for Malaysian businesses to showcase their capabilities and forge cross-border collaboration,' Muhammad Aiman said. In preparation for hosting duties, the government also ramps up infrastructure enhancements to meet global standards, including improvements in transport, broadband and urban facilities. Universiti Malaya's Department of Social Science lecturer Muhammad Aiman Asyraf Hanafi These upgrades, he said, leave a lasting legacy that benefits local communities and businesses well beyond the event itself. Albeit, at the policy level, the Summit serves as a key venue for Malaysia to promote economic priorities, pursue trade agreements and secure bilateral investment commitments through official meetings and side engagements. 'These moves help position Malaysia as a competitive business destination within ASEAN and generate investor confidence,' he added. Muhammad Aiman added that the event's international media coverage allows the country to amplify its global reputation and soft power. Moreover, coordinated efforts by government agencies also help project Malaysia as a culturally rich, economically vibrant and diplomatically active nation. However, Muhammad Aiman emphasised that despite the expenses involved in security, logistics, and organising the event, the overall benefits typically surpass the cost. 'The short-term rise in domestic consumption and service demand is matched by longer-term outcomes such as foreign direct investment, trade growth and regional influence,' he said. Nonetheless, if fully leveraged, he believes the 46th ASEAN Summit could elevate Malaysia's position as a regional economic leader while delivering tangible benefits for the country.
