Shah Alam
A foreign worker allegedly molested a 7-year-old girl at a theme park. The girl's parents had lodged a report at the Section 11 police station yesterday after the incident occurred on Friday at 4pm.
The girl was at a water slide when the suspect had undone the front zipper of the girl's swimsuit and held her by the shoulders. A 14-year-old girl witnessed the incident and alerted the mother. The suspect claimed that he was trying to save the girl from falling off the water slide.
The mother claimed that a theme park supervisor had offered the family discount vouchers and a holiday if they did not reported the matter to the police. A senior manager had asked them to wait until yesterday to investigate the matter and denied that the supervisor had made such an offer. He contacted the family yesterday to explain that the suspect was preventing the girl from performing dangerous stunts at the slide.
The theme park management had also lodged a report at the same police station.

Altantuya Murder Trial: Mobile Phone Call Locations Challenged
20 December 2007
Shah Alam
The lawyer for accused Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, J. Kuldeep, has contended in High Court yesterday that his client was not in Puncak Alam on the night when murder victim Altantuya Shaariibuu went missing and where she was blown to pieces.
Kuldeep put it to 30-year-old Celcom special projects and investigations division executive Mohd Firdaous Mohd Omar that Azilah was with his current girlfriend Norazila Baharuddin on 19 October 20076 at 9:41pm when a phone call was made to accused and political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda from the "019" number registered under Norazila's name. This call was supposedly answered by Lance Corporal Rohaniza Roslan, who was the girlfriend of Azilah at that time.
Kuldeep suggested that the couple were at Bukit Aman and not at the Jalan Duta toll plaza, contrary to the Celcom transaction logs derived by Mohd Firdaous. At 10:43pm, they were heading to Wangsa Maju and were along the Middle Ring Road 2 in Batu Caves and Jalan Kuching back from Wangsa Maju at 11:28pm, not at Puncak Perdana as the Celcom records show. At the latter time, a phone call was made to Rohaniza from the "019" number.
Mohd Firdaous disagreed with the assertions presented.
The trial continues on 2 January 2008.

Security Guard Escaped with RM320,000
20 December 2007
Johor Baru
44-year-old Anuar Yusoff has allegedly escaped with RM320,000 cash which he was guarding. Working as the driver, he and two other security guards were along Jalan Kempas Lama, Tampoi on Monday at 10:50am cashing cheques.
They had just collected RM320,000 at a bank and two of them were on their way to a second bank to cash another cheque. Using a duplicate key for the safe in the van, Anuar opened the safe and took off with the case before the other two came back to the van.
It is believed that the suspect had a court case involving criminal intimidation and his application as security guard was not yet vetted by the Internal Security Ministry and the police. The suspect started working for the nationwide security company since September.
Checks at his Taman Cempaka, Skudai, residential address and his parents' house in Simpang Renggam, Pekan Nenas, found no leads on him.

Priest Slashed by Two Robbers
20 December 2007
Sungai Petani
A Taoist priest was slashed by two robbers in his Taman Bandar Baru house in Sungai Lalang on Wednesday at 3am.
The priest was watching television when one of the robbers called out to him from the outside front gate. The robbers were posing as motorcycle repossessors, saying that the priest had defaulted on three installments for his motorcycle loan. The priest and his wife had opened a window to talk to the man.
Just when the priest opened the grille gate and sliding glass door, the other robber appeared. Both robbers jumped over the front gate and smashed through the sliding door. The priest started to run to the kitchen but was slashed on the head, body and hands by the robbers' parangs.
The priest collapsed and the robbers took off. His wife sent him to the Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital.

Altantuya Murder Trial: Azilah and Rohaniza Made Calls in Puncak Alam and Kota Damansara
19 December 2007
Shah Alam
Mohd Firdaous Mohd Omar from Celcom's special projects and investigations division told the High Court trial of murder victim and Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu that the "019" mobile phone number that was registered under Norazila Baharuddin from 15 April 2006 was used to answer a 20-second call on 19 October 2006 at Puncak Alam.
Norazila was accused Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri's girlfriend and Puncak Alam was the area where Altantuya was blown up. Lance Corporal Rohaniza Roslan had previously testified in court that Azilah was using the number at that time.
30-year-old Mohd Firdaous added that at 10:43pm that night, the number had answered a call made from a "012" number that was registered under Rohaniza. At this time, the "012" number was located at Section 4, Kota Damansara.
Then, Norazila's "019" number received an anonymous SMS at 11:16pm. The number was then used to call Rohaniza at 11:28pm, lasting for a minute. The call was made from Puncak Perdana.
From the Celcom records, it was also determined that Rohaniza called the "019" number back at 11:48pm for 104 seconds.
Azilah's name was also recorded in the Celcom customer service system under this "019" number, suggesting that he could have made enquiries with Celcom previously.
Mohd Firdaous testified to the court that the police had made requests on 30 May, 25 September and 15 November 2007 to obtain mobile phone transaction records for Azilah and Rohaniza.

Puspakom Staff Arrested for Corruption
19 December 2007
Johor Baru
The Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) has uncovered a syndicate among Puspakom staff and touts which has been accepting bribes to pass road-worthiness tests for lorries and taxis. Acting on a tip off, ACA officers nabbed three testers and a tout at a Puspakom centre in Skudai.
It is believed that the testers were able to manipulate the computerised system to ensure that the vehicles passed the tests. While the standard charge for the tests is RM55, the vehicle owners would pay as much as RM80 to the touts, who would take the difference in amount.
ACA officers found a taxi owner whose vehicle had failed the tests several times and was eventually passed after paying extra. The taxi was later found to have defective brakes.

Altantuya Murder Trial: Bomb Expert Continues Testimony
11 December 2007
Shah Alam
Former head of the police forensic laboratory DSP Muhammad Koey Abdullah continued his testimony in High Court yesterday saying that there were no bullet casings or traces of blood to be found in the crime scene where Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu was allegedly murdered and blown up using explosives.
The 46-year-old said he was unable to determine if Altantuya had died from the explosion or not as this was beyond his expertise. He described to accused Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar's lawyer, Ahmad Zaidi Zainal, that the explosive was likely placed on the left side of Altantuya's body and that the person who set off the explosion likely took cover behind a vehicle.
Koey added that the person might not have needed to hide behind a vehicle if the amount of explosives used were little, but it was standard procedure for explosives experts. He said that the person might not have to wear protective goggles to protect his eyes from a spark of ultraviolet light during the explosion as it would have been very quick.
Koey said a rubber tube was found at the crime scene that was used in the murder but not as a component in the explosion.

Road Transport and Traffic Police Department Officers Arrested for Sticker Scam
11 December 2007
Kuala Lumpur
The Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) has arrested eight in Selangor over a protection scam involving hundreds of thousands of ringgit. ACA officers seized stickers used on road vehicles that provides immunity against police road blacks because they bear initials such as KCE, KCHAI, BoB, VML, John, KFC, CB and one with a star-shaped symbol.
Three Road Transport Department (JPJ) officers, a traffic police corporal and four runners were arrested. It is believed that they have been selling such stickers to lorry owners as some of them have to transport sand and earth for between RM500 and RM700 per month per trip. With the stickers, such overloaded lorries would not be stopped, summonsed or be weighed. If they were held, a syndicate member would contact the involved officer to "settle" the case.
The syndicate produced the stickers and its members shared the takings monthly. The ACA believes that the syndicate has members all over the country in the JPJ and traffic police department.

Altantuya Murder Trial: Small Amount of Explosive Used
6 December 2007
Shah Alam
As the murder trial of Altantuya Shaariibuu continued on its 66th day yesterday, former post-blast investigation section head DSP Muhammad Koey Abdullah expounded on the technicalities of explosives related to the case.
He explained that based on the high amount of RDX found, it was a "high explosion". However, there was no crater found in the ground of the crime scene, therefore only a small amount of explosive could have been used.
Although a claymore mine wire was found there, Muhammad Koey said a claymore mine was not used. Instead, its wire was probably used as an accessory. If such a mine had been used, a crater would have been formed and ball bearings would have been found.
Muhammad Koey added that personnel from the Bomb Disposal Unit, General Operations Force and Special Operations Forces are given basic training in handling bombs. After they have gone through basic and advanced courses, they are required to follow strict usage procedures.
The trial continues on Monday.

Altantuya Murder Trial: Plastic Explosives Used to Detonate Altantuya
5 December 2007
Shah Alam
46-year-old DSP Muhammad Koey Abdullah, a former post-blast investigation department head at the police forensic laboratory, continued his witness yesterday in the trial of 28-year-old Altantuya Shaariibuu, who was murdered on 19 October 2006. He said that explosive substances were likely inserted in the victim's mouth or on her face and on her upper limbs and lower abdomen while she was lying face up.
Muhammad Koey worked at the forensic laboratory from 2004 till the end of 2006, after which he pursued a diploma course on investigation science at a local college.
During investigations at the crime scene, he consulted with pathologist Dr Mohd Shah Mahmood on the explosion, indicating that the largest skull piece about the size of a 50 sen coin with hair blown off was found. Thus, he believed that an explosive substance was placed on the hairless part of the head, probably the forehead, face, or mouth.
He also suggested that plastic explosives (PE) in small quantities were used as the main charge in the explosion. If larger quantities were used, he said they would not be able to find skull and bone fragments. Then, he further explained that a booster would be required to detonate PE. In this case, he said a secondary high-powered explosive substance known as RDX was found at the crime scene. RDX can be found in PE types PP01 and PE-N12B1.
The firing of the explosion was determined to be 14.5 metres from where Altantuya was believed to be placed, known as the "seat of explosion", as wire pieces were found there. The electric detonator was also found at the seat of explosion.
The trial continues today.

Altantuya Murder Trial: Amidon Identified Azilah and Azhar on CCTV
4 December 2007
Shah Alam
56-year-old superintendent Amidon Anan continued his testimony in High Court yesterday, stating that he could positively identify Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri at Hotel Malaya. Victim Altantuya Shaariibuu had stayed in that hotel last year before she disappeared and was murdered.
The current head of Bukit Aman's Crime Scene Investigation department said Azilah was his subordinate previously and had met him in several robbery and murder cases.
Amidon had spent five hours watching the closed-circuit television recording obtained from Hotel Malaya's cameras. He told the court that he could identify Azilah and jointly-accused Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar. The recording was dated 18 October 2006 between 4:50pm and 5pm, a day before Altantuya was murdered.
When Amidon was cross-examined by counsel Datuk Hazman Ahmad, who is representing Azilah, and counsel Kamarul Hisham Kamaruddin, who is representing Azhar, he agreed that his identification was inconclusive as he admitted he was not a forensic video anthropologist.

20-year-old Gang Raped by Four
3 December 2007
Subang Jaya
A 20-year-old graphic designer with a local Chinese newspaper was kidnapped and gang-raped near her USJ6 home on Sunday.
After the victim and her younger sister had spent a day at Genting Highlands, four men had been trailing her to her house. When she had parked her car outside of the house, the suspects grabbed her into their car, leaving the younger sister behind.
The victim offered to give the men RM1,000 but they did not accept. Instead, they called the victim's mother and demanded for another RM4,000. She only deposited RM2,000 into the victim's bank account.
The victim was released around noon after the suspects had taken turns to rape her.
