Man charged over alleged indecent exposure on flight
A man will face court today for allegedly indecently exposing himself to two female passengers on a domestic flight. The Fijian national was travelling on a Melbourne to Brisbane flight on June 1 when police allege he indecently exposed himself to two women seated in the same row as him during the flight. The passengers, who did not know the man, reported the alleged behaviour to airline staff and were subsequently moved to different seats. Airline staff then monitored the man for the remainder of the flight. The Australian Federal Police were called to Brisbane Airport following a request for assistance and escorted the man from the plane when it landed. The AFP spoke to the man and other passengers and crew. Following the investigation they then charged the male passenger with one count of indecent exposure. The maximum penalty for this offence is 12 months' imprisonment. AFP Detective Superintendent Anthony Conway said there was no excuse for offensive behaviour in any situation, especially on a flight where passengers were confined in a limited space. 'Indecent conduct on a plane will not be tolerated, and the AFP will take action against individuals who engage in this kind of criminal behaviour,' Mr Conway said. The man is due to appear before the Brisbane Magistrates Court today 18 July, 2025.

Police arrest eHati couple over ‘obscene acts' at marriage programme, raid home
PETALING JAYA, July 15 — The founders of eHati International Sdn Bhd, Diyana Tahir and Rahim Shukor, were reportedly arrested today after providing their statements to the police. According to Free Malaysia Today (FMT), the couple's lawyer Datuk M Reza Hassan said they were arrested under Sections 294 and 509 of the Penal Code, which pertain to obscene acts and insulting the modesty of others. He said they were also being investigated under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955 for offensive behaviour. FMT further reported that Shah Alam police chief ACP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim confirmed both the arrests. According to the report, the couple's residence was also raided. The case is linked to a marriage motivation programme organised by eHati in Shah Alam between September 27 and 30 last year. In a statement issued earlier today, Diyana and Rahim denied that their programmes contravened Islamic principles. They said the allegations were based on misleading and unverified claims circulated on social media. The couple also dismissed allegations that their sessions included rituals from other religions, and said that their modules used hypnotherapy, breathwork and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. They further said that a drink featured in the programme was made from raw cocoa, honey and natural spices, and did not contain any banned or hallucinogenic substances.
