PDRM anti-terrorism exhibition at Batu Kawan National Unity Week
BATU KAWAN: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is hosting an anti-terrorism exhibition at the National Unity Week (SMP) in Batu Kawan Stadium, aiming to educate the public on the dangers of terrorist activities. The event, running from July 17 to 20, features 35 activities, including displays of seized terrorist items and interactive sessions with counter-terrorism officers. Bukit Aman Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division (E8) staff officer ACP Ridzuan Abdul Aziz highlighted the exhibition's role in clarifying terrorism and extremism for the public. 'We are bringing the exhibition closer to the people so they understand and avoid involvement in such activities, which harm both individuals and the nation,' he told Bernama. The exhibition includes homemade bombs, terrorism-related books, and confiscated passports used by terrorist groups. Ridzuan noted that while foreign terrorist influences have declined, domestic threats remain a concern. 'We are seeing a shift towards domestic terrorism, making public awareness crucial,' he said. Police aim to educate visitors on early signs of radicalisation, particularly among youth exposed to extremist content online. 'Terrorist groups actively recruit through platforms like Telegram. Prevention through education is key,' Ridzuan added. The exhibition also features high-profile arrest operations and insights into counter-terrorism efforts. Ridzuan stressed that enforcement alone is insufficient. 'The public must understand how radical ideologies operate to prevent recruitment,' he said. - Bernama

Police helicopter wreckage retrieved from Sungai Pulai for investigation
ISKANDAR PUTERI: The wreckage of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) helicopter that crashed in Sungai Pulai, Gelang Patah, has been successfully retrieved and will be transported to the Air Operations Force (PGU) base in Subang for further investigation. Commander of the PGU under the Internal Security and Public Order Department, Datuk Noor Sham Md Jani, confirmed that a detailed probe will be conducted by the Air Accident Investigation Bureau. 'Cooperation from multiple agencies expedited the process of retrieving the wreckage and will allow for a more thorough investigation,' he said when contacted by Bernama. The operation to recover the AS355N helicopter, bearing registration number 9M-PHG, began early in the morning, with the wreckage lifted from the seabed by 11 am. A crane vessel and several PDRM assets were deployed for the retrieval. The Royal Malaysian Navy, Region Two Marine Police, and the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency were among the agencies involved in the operation. Bernama observed that preparations were meticulously carried out before the wreckage was gradually hoisted and transported to a nearby jetty. The helicopter crashed last Thursday during its participation in the Multilateral Nuclear Security Detection Exercise (MITSATOM) 2025, involving Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore. The exercise was held at the Gelang Patah Maritime Jetty. All five individuals on board sustained injuries but are reported to be in stable condition. - Bernama

ISKANDAR PUTERI, July 17 (Bernama) — The wreckage of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) helicopter that crashed in Sungai Pulai, Gelang Patah, last week has been recovered and will be transported to the Air Operations Force (PGU) base in Subang for further investigation. Commander of the PGU under the Internal Security and Public Order Department, Datuk Noor Sham Md Jani, said a detailed investigation will be carried out by the Air Accident Investigation Bureau. 'Cooperation from multiple agencies expedited the process of retrieving the wreckage and will allow for a more thorough investigation,' he said when contacted by Bernama.

All five on board were injured in the incident, and they have been reported to be in stable condition.

'Turun Anwar' rally: No notice makes it difficult, but police will facilitate — Saifuddin
PUTRAJAYA — The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will facilitate the Himpunan Turun Anwar rally, scheduled to take place in the capital on July 26. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said this is to ensure the safety and orderliness of all participants, even though rally organisers are no longer required to submit prior notice to the police, following a Federal Court ruling that declared Section 9(5) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 unconstitutional. He acknowledged, however, that the court's ruling has made it a little difficult for PDRM to plan appropriate security measures. 'If organisers were still required to inform the police, we would at least know the venue and expected crowd size, allowing us to deploy personnel accordingly, not to obstruct, but to facilitate the gathering. 'But now, without prior notification, the police must fully mobilise all available resources to devise an appropriate strategy,' he told a press conference after the Home Ministry's monthly assembly today. Despite the challenges, Saifuddin gave assurance that PDRM will manage security professionally. He also reminded organisers and participants to abide by the existing provisions of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012. Organisers, he said, are responsible for ensuring that no dangerous weapons are brought to the rally, no speeches undermine the monarchy or religious harmony, and that children are not involved in the gathering. 'If police take action, don't claim your freedom has been violated because the relevant laws still apply. 'I just want to stress that if they want to proceed with the rally, it's their democratic choice because the government has never suppressed the people's freedom of expression,' he said. On July 1, the Federal Court ruled unanimously that penalising organisers for failing to notify police five days in advance of a peaceful assembly is unconstitutional. According to the five-judge panel, Section 9(5) of the Peaceful Assembly Act, which imposes fines for failing to give prior notice, constitutes a form of prohibition, not a permissible restriction under Article 10(1)(b) of the Federal Constitution. — BERNAMA

Missing British teen told family not to search for him, say police
David Balisong was reported missing by his family after boarding a flight from the UK to Kuala Lumpur in June without their knowledge. (PDRM pic) SHAH ALAM : Missing British teen David Balisong had apparently emailed his family asking them not to search for him, Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said today. Hussein said Balisong told his family in the email, which was sent to his mother on July 9, that they should not worry about him. 'He also apologised to his family. He did not say when he would return,' he told a press conference here. Hussein confirmed that there is no record of Balisong leaving Malaysia since he arrived on June 7. 'So far, six individuals have had their statements recorded, and police are also reviewing CCTV footage at KL Sentral,' he said. Balisong, an A-level student from Cheadle, Greater Manchester, left home early on June 6, telling his brother he had school matters to deal with. Instead, he flew alone from Manchester to Kuala Lumpur. He has since switched off his phone and is not responding to emails. Born in the UK to Filipino parents, Balisong has no known ties to Malaysia. He left with £1,200 (RM6,900) in his bank account and was granted a 90-day visa upon arrival. Authorities believe that he took a bus to KL Sentral after arriving at KLIA on June 7.
