MSNBC host blasted for calling illegal alien Boulder terror suspect a 'white male'
Frequent MSNBC contributor Tom Winter is facing backlash after branding the suspect of Sunday's Colorado terror attack 'a white male'. The misrepresentation, offered on MSNBC's The Weekend Primetime, appeared to ignore Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman's actual origins as an illegal alien. The FBI had already confirmed the nature of the 'targeted' terror attack when NBC National Security and Justice Correspondent Winter made the characterization, but it came shortly before Soliman was publicly identified. Still, several were quick to accuse the correspondent for omitting certain facts, after the incident occurred in Boulder during a pro-Israel rally. Soliman, 45, was filmed shouting 'Free Palestine ' before hurling homemade incendiary devices at a crowd, injuring eight and leaving at least one injured critically. 'There is an individual who is taken into custody. He's a white male - whether or not that's the person police ultimately arrested and charged with this crime is a bit of a question at this time,' Winter said just after 7pm ET. 'I guess that covers it for the extreme view of everything. White male,' one user wrote in response, as many reacted to a reshared clip of the reporter's wording when describing Soliman's arrest. The misrepresentation, offered on MSNBC's The Weekend Primetime, appeared to ignore Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman's actual origins as an illegal alien 'I wouldn't expect anything less from the fake news media networks,' sniped someone else, slamming Winter for what they saw as a needlessly calm assessment. 'MSNBC: If reality doesn't fit, we Photoshop it mentally,' wrote another. 'This really doesn't fit their narrative at all.' The Department of Homeland Security has since confirmed Solomon arrived in the US in August 2022 on a B2 Visa before overstaying by more than two years. Shortly after the indecent at Pearl Street Mall at around 1:26pm MDT on Sunday, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed it was 'targeted' and meant to inspire terror. As footage circulated of the middle aged suspect hurling Molotov cocktails, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino branded it 'an act of terror and targeted violence'. Soliman - who feds on Sunday said unsuccessfully applied for asylum in September 2022 - was heard on video saying 'Palestine is Free,' MSNBC later reported. The crowd he attacked was convened an event organized by Run For Their Live in honor of the remaining Israeli hostages. Winter's words came as video and images from the scene showed the suspect several victims laying motionless on the ground beside Israel flags as witnesses rushed to pour water on their wounds He lived illegal in El Paso county, Texas, and appeared to taunt the victims in footage of the attack. Wearing only jeans and sunglasses, he was heard yelling: 'End Zionists... they are terrorists' and 'free Palestine'. Shortly after Winter's broadcast Sunday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said Soliman is an 'illegal alien' who arrived in the US on a visa issued by the Biden administration. When he illegally overstayed that visa, he was given a second chance and issued a new work permit, feds said. He was authorized to stay until February 2, 2023, but never left.

Court of Appeal quashes RM2.3mil award in licensing dispute
A three-member Court of Appeal panel unanimously allowed the appeal by Saveway Solutions Sdn Bhd and Lim Wei Leong against the claim for tort of misrepresentation and/or contractual misrepresentation. PUTRAJAYA : The Court of Appeal has set aside a High Court decision that ordered a company and its director to pay about RM2.3 million in damages for wrongfully inducing six plaintiffs to enter into several licensing agreements linked to a mind enhancement education programme. A three-member bench chaired by Justice Ruzima Ghazali unanimously allowed the appeal by Saveway Solutions Sdn Bhd and Lim Wei Leong against the claim for tort of misrepresentation and/or contractual misrepresentation. Ruzima said while the agreements had features of a franchise under the Franchise Act 1998, both parties were mistaken (in pari delicto). 'The appellants were equally at fault. As such, no remedies arising from the illegality of those agreements lie in favour of the plaintiffs,' he said. The bench also awarded RM50,000 in costs to Saveway Solutions and Lim. Justices Azizul Azmi Adnan and Firuz Jaffril also sat on the panel. Last year, the High Court in Kuala Lumpur ruled that Saveway Solutions and Lim were liable for fraud, misrepresentation, and for failing to obtain approval from the education ministry to run the programme. The trial court found that the agreements were tainted by illegality as they contravened the Franchise Act and the Education Act 1996. As a result, the High Court declared void all agreements entered into between the defendants and the plaintiffs – Superbrain Training Centre, The Growing Tree Enrichment Centre, BZ Mind Art & Creative Centre, Bright Training Centre, Neuro Development Sdn Bhd, and Insegnate Sdn Bhd. The court also found Saveway Solutions and Lim jointly and severally liable for all losses and damages suffered by the plaintiffs. It ordered them to refund the plaintiffs RM555,000, pay an additional RM1.8 million in exemplary damages, and pay general damages to be assessed by the court registrar, along with RM180,000 in costs. The High Court found that between 2016 and 2017, the plaintiffs had invested about RM555,000 in an education programme titled 'Brain-Zone Full Brain', an IQ enhancement plan for children, after reading a Facebook advertisement and attending a presentation. They later discovered that Saveway Solutions had not registered the programme with the education ministry or the domestic trade and consumer affairs ministry – a requirement that the plaintiffs claimed rendered the programme illegal. They also discovered that Lim, who owned the programme, was behind Saveway Solutions. Lawyers Kwan Will Sen, Koh Kean Kang and Yong Siew Lee represented Saveway Solutions and Lim, while R Rishikessingam and Daljit Singh appeared for the six companies.
