Travel agent remanded over alleged threats against Malaysian couple in Japan
KUALA LUMPUR: The travel agent arrested for allegedly threatening a married couple in Japan in January has been remanded for four days starting today to assist in investigations. Sepang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Norhizam Bahaman confirmed the matter today. "The court has granted a four-day remand order for the suspect starting today until July 19," he said. Earlier, Norhizam said that the remand application for the 36-year-old Malaysian man was submitted this morning at the Sepang Magistrate's Court in a media release last night. The travel agent was arrested at a restaurant in Sepang yesterday following a police report lodged by the couple on Jan 28 after they returned from Japan. Norhizam said the suspect was an acquaintance of the couple through a travel agency. Preliminary investigations suggest the motive stemmed from dissatisfaction over the handling of a tourist trip to Japan. The case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation, which carries a punishment of imprisonment, a fine, or both. According to previous reports, the victim, Noornabilla Azemi, 36, who is also a tour guide, claimed she was assaulted, had her head slammed against a bed frame, and threatened with death by the suspect while at a friend's rented house in Japan on Jan 24.

Police deny arresting suspect in temple groping woman incident
KUALA LUMPUR: Sepang police have denied a statement posted by an Indian entertainment and news channel on Instagram today which claimed that investigators had confiscated the passport of a suspect involved in a groping incident at a temple in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi. District police chief Assistant Commission Norhizam Bahaman said police efforts to track down the suspect are still ongoing. "Members of the public who may have information about the suspect are being urged to come forward. "They can contact investigating officer Inspector B. Sathiyan at 013-2060771 or the Sepang police headquarters at 03-87774222," he said in a statement. Norhizam urged the public to refrain from spreading false or misleading statements that could cause confusion or mislead others about the ongoing investigation. On July 8, Norhizam had said a woman claimed she was groped by a priest at a temple in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi. He had said police received a report about 8.15pm on July 4. The victim, an actress and television host, had taken to Instagram over her ordeal. She had said in her post that she had gone to the temple on June 21 while her mother was in India. She claimed that on that day, while she was praying, the priest approached her and told her he had some holy water and a protective string to tie for her as a blessing and asked her to see him after her prayers. When she went to see him, she claimed he put his hands inside her blouse, and started touching her inappropriately.
