Insulted and disappointed: We dived into muddy waters over 10 times, says Bomba officer
PETALING JAYA: Fire and Rescue Department personnel dived into a muddy river in Johor more than 10 times in hopes of finding a missing person. But it was all for nothing because it was based on a false police report lodged by a motoring influencer and his younger brother about the former's disappearance. 'We were insulted by the false report that was made,' said Senior Fire Superintendent II Norshuhada Amsari. She said this when reading an impact statement in the proceedings against the brothers at the Magistrate's Court in Muar on Friday (July 25), reported Sinar Harian. In the case, the influencer, Tengku Nizaruddin Tengku Zainudin, 38, widely known online as Ija, and Tengku Abdul Aziz Tengku Zainudin, 30, both pleaded guilty to making a false report and conspiring against civil servants at the Lenga police station in Muar at 11.38pm last Tuesday (July 15). The brothers were jailed for one month and ordered to pay a RM1,500 fine each by the court for lodging a false police report about the influencer's disappearance. In her impact statement, Norshuhada said the rescue operations by her team at Sungai Tui, Bukit Kepong had endangered the safety of her personnel and disrupted other missions which were more important. 'Our water rescue unit officers dived more than 10 times into the muddy river, with limited vision in dark surroundings,' she said. Magistrate Suzana Mokhtar allowed Norshuhada, who was the commander of the operation, to read her statement after the brothers pleaded guilty to their charge. Norshuhada said the actions of the brothers had caused the government to bear losses in terms of assets and logistics, including the usage of rescue boats, operation machinery, diving gear, drones and fuel. 'What's worse is that the false report disrupted our operations which were supposed to be focused on a real case involving a victim that had fallen from the Sungai Gersik bridge on July 17. 'We are very disappointed to be used. It has affected the morale and team's credibility, as well as the faith in the public towards the department,' she added.

JBPM files report after motoring influencer fakes drowning, flees to neighbouring country
The report was lodged at the Muar District Police Headquarters (IPD) at 11.30am yesterday on the advice of JBPM Director-General Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad. 21 Jul 2025 05:31pm The Water Rescue Team (PPDA) was also assigned to the scene, in addition to the deployment of seven assets, including a drone from the Fire Department. - Photo courtesy of JBPM MUAR - The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) has lodged a police report against a motoring influencer and his younger brother for lodging a false report regarding the influencer's alleged disappearance in Sungai Tui, Jalan Bukit Kepong, here last Monday. JBPM Johor Zone 4 chief Senior Fire Superintendent II Norshuhada Amsari said the report was lodged at the Muar District Police Headquarters (IPD) at 11.30 am yesterday on the advice of JBPM Director-General Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad. "JBPM views the act of making a false report related to a disappearance or accident as irresponsible and inappropriate, as it leads to a waste of time and resources of rescue personnel. "Moreover, it affects the response to other emergencies, as officers and personnel are focused at the reported location. Such actions also undermine public trust in agencies like ours,' she told Bernama when contacted today. Norshuhada said the report was also aimed at reminding the public not to engage in such frivolous acts that disrupt the responsibilities of rescue teams. She said that during the four-day search and rescue operation, more than 30 JBPM officers and personnel from Muar, Labis and Pagoh were deployed to the location immediately after the influencer's younger brother filed the missing person report. "The Water Rescue Team (PPDA) was also assigned to the scene, in addition to the deployment of seven assets, including a drone from the Fire Department. "We were quite disappointed when police later informed us that the individual was in fact safe and had never been at the reported search location,' she said. Norshuhada also expressed appreciation to all involved, especially the rescue personnel who carried out their duties with dedication, and she hoped the individuals involved would come forward and issue a public apology. Recently, the media reported that a businessman and owner of a vehicle accessories shop was reported missing after the Perodua Axia he was driving allegedly plunged into Sungai Tui. However, Muar District Police Chief ACP Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz said on Saturday that investigations revealed the 38-year-old man had allegedly staged his disappearance before fleeing to a neighbouring country, with his brother believed to have conspired by giving false statements for personal gain. - BERNAMA More Like This
