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.

Search expanded to 10km radius for man missing after car found in Sungai Tui
MUAR: The search and rescue operation for a 38-year-old man, Tengku Nizaruddin Tengku Zainudin, has been widened to a 10-kilometre radius after his car was discovered submerged in Sungai Tui near Jalan Bukit Kepong. The operation resumed at 8.50 am today, involving seven firefighters from the Muar Scuba Unit, 11 from Pagoh Fire and Rescue Station, and 26 police personnel. Senior Fire Superintendent II Norshuhada Amsari, Zone 4 chief of the Johor Fire and Rescue Department, confirmed that a land search is also underway. The victim's friend, Muhammad Syahmi Mansur, 30, recounted how he and nine others rushed to the location after receiving GPS coordinates from the missing man's wife. Initial efforts were hampered by darkness, forcing the group to search elsewhere. The following day, they found the submerged Perodua Axia, identified by a sticker from the victim's car accessories shop. The car's front windows were open, and the doors were unlocked, but murky water obstructed further investigation. Muar police chief ACP Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz confirmed the discovery and urged witnesses to contact the Muar District Police Headquarters to aid the investigation. - Bernama

He said the search could not be carried out at the initial location because it was dark, forcing them to continue searching in other areas. 'The next day, we returned to the location, and that was when we were informed about the discovery of the car. 'I noticed a sticker from Ija's car accessories shop on the rear windshield, and both front side windows were open with the doors unlocked.
