Johor Crime Rate Dropped 6% in First Three Months
17 March 2007
Johor Baru
Johor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Hussin Ismail said that the increase in police presence for crime rampant areas help reduced the crime rate in Johor for the first few months of this year.
There were 6,161 cases reported in Johor last year, while the number dropped by 382 during the same period from 1 January till 15 March. This represents a 6 percent decline.
Community organizations helped to increase public awareness of crime prone areas and safety precautions, the police chief said. Police have enforced their presence by means of a "mobile patrol unit (Mpv) convergence point" method where patrol cars would meet at the crime prone areas at random times.
Batu Pahat recorded the highest decline in crime rate at 21 percent. The Mpv method was most effective there where robbery and snatch theft was most significant.
Police now are hoping to achieve at least a 5 percent decrease in crime rate every month onwards.

Burnt Woman Possibly Abducted Earlier
15 March 2007
Kuala Lumpur
Police believe that the woman who was found dead in a burnt MPV at a Tanjung Malim oil palm plantation on Tuesday was adbucted before she died.

Youths Locked and Forced to Beg
14 March 2007
Kuala Lumpur
16 Malaysian youths were forced to beg for donations and were kept under close guard in an apartment and a house. They were tricked by newspaper advertisements into well-paid jobs. The jobs were supposedly for positions of marketing executives and front office supervisors, paying between RM900 and RM1,000 per month.
The victims were not allowed to make phone calls and had only instant noodles to eat.
The Ampang Jaya police were tipped off by The Star when one of the youths managed to send an SMS to his family for help. The police then staked out around the house in Taman Pandan Ria and conducted a raid at 1:45am on Monday.
The youths were found sleeping on double-decker beds and on the floor. Police arrested four members of a syndicate.
It was learnt that the syndicate lured the youths from Sabah, Johor, Perak, Kedah, Kelantan and Selangor. The youths had to pay between RM150 and RM200 to attend a month-long training programme and were told that part of the money earned would be used to pay for their return air tickets. They were taken to an apartment where they were taught how to solicit money for charitable organisations.
Some of them were even taught to stammer to gain sympathy from the public. They were not allowed to communicate with anyone as they were constantly monitored.
Police have seized some receipt books and have learned that the victims have collected RM1,000 in total daily.
The case is being investigated under unlawful confinement and forced labour.

13 March 2007
Tanah Merah
Che Hashim Che Deraman @ Chearseng Chederemae, aged 41, was sentenced yesterday to 12 months' jail and fined RM7,000 in default of 6 months' jail after being found guilty to illegally possess 71 Thai passports. The Thai trader was found to have the passports without lawful authority at the Pengkalan Kubur immigration checkpoint about 12pm on 30 December 2006.
Che Hashim is currently serving a one-year jail sentence for entering the country without valid travel documents at the same time, date and place.

10 March 2007
Temerloh
Enforcement officers from the State Wildlife and National Parks Department had been staking out on the premises of a tannery owner in Jaya Gading, Kuantan, after detecting that monitor lizards and snakes had been illegally exported to China and Hong Kong. The officers finally raided the tannery at 4:30pm yesterday and arrested the owner and another man.
478 clouded monitor lizards, 231 oriental rat snakes and 4 king cobras were found at the scene. The animals are said to be priced between RM150 and RM200 per kilogramme. It is believed that they have been bought from Orang Asli poachers.
The wildlife animals could have been exported and served as exotic food in restaurants over China and Hong Kong.
800 grammes of pangolin bones and scales were also found which were designated for the local traditional medicine market.
Wildlife and National Parks Department in Kuala Lumpur suspect this case could be related to the recent case where 2,400 snakes were smuggled from Penang. The same smuggler could have been supplying the captured wildlife to several buyers.
The two men have been remanded by police and face a number of charges including possession of protected animals and inhumane treatment of animals.
The maximum punishment for the crimes is a maximum fine of RM3,000 and maximum jail term of 3 years.

Housewife Another Victim of Akademi Fantasia Scam
9 March 2007
Malacca
A 52-year-old housewife from Bandar Hilir was the latest victim of the Akademi Fantasia 4 (AF4) scam by losing RM5,591.
The victim, known only as Letchumi, said she received an SMS on 18 February 2007 stating that her mobile phone number had been chosen as the RM9,000 winner in the AF4 competition.

The victim went to an ATM at 10am on the same day and tried to enter the numbers as the man recited them over the phone. A young man helped her to complete the entry but the mother of the young man told the victim to withdraw all her money as she suspected that the victim was conned.

Pornographic VCD Flight Steward Charged Again
9 March 2007
Kuala Lumpur
Former Malaysia Airlines flight steward Mohd Rizal Mat Yusof, aged 35, has been charged with criminal intimidation after his earlier case of recording sex scenes of himself with several women. He was convicted of making VCDs titled "Kehidupan Pramugara Yang Terlampau" ("Excessive Lifestyle of an Air Steward") out of the recordings four years ago.
Rizal has yet to serve the 18 months' jail sentence for that case.
Rizal was accused yesterday of recording his 23-year-old trainee nurse girlfriend in the nude and threatening to distribute it. He allegedly made the threat at her Menara Orkid apartment in Bandar Baru Sentul at 11:30pm on 23 February 2007.
Although Rizal claimed trial for this charge, he said that while he was on bail, he cooperated with the police and would not attempt to meet the victim. He is not able to afford a lawyer after having paid RM18,000 bail for the first case and had to support his two daughters and elderly parents.
The magistrate thus granted bail at RM5,000 in one surety and fixed 10 April 2007 for mention.

Parti Keadilan Rakyat Information Chief Arrested for Murder
8 March 2007
Ampang
Parti Keadilan Rakyat information chief Tian Chua was arrested for attempted murder after he almost hit a man when he drove his car through a barricade during a demonstration. The demonstration was supported by Chua and some politicians, who were against the demolition of houses at Kampung Berembang yesterday.
Workers from Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd were at a barricade set up at the entrance of the demolition area when Chua drove his Toyota Camry through it at 11:40am. One of them who was doing some welding work there fell but managed to escape by leaping out of the way of the car. This worker later lodged a police report.
Police has classified this case as attempted murder and is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code.
The 44-year-old opposition politician now faces a possible 20 years in jail.
The demolition work started on 17 November 2006 when the villagers refused to move out after receiving eviction notices since November 2005.

The men are believed to be part of a group who stole four-wheel-drive vehicles from the Klang Valley, Pahang, and Penang, worth some RM3 million in total.

17 more containers holding 24 more vehicles were discovered to be enroute to the United Arab Emirates. Police managed to stop the cars from being off-loaded at the Jabber Ali Port in Dubai with the help of Interpol and have been arranged to be shipped back to Malaysia.
Police are now looking for two brothers, S. Jeganathan, aged 29, and S. Thiagu, aged 31, and K. Paneerselvam @ Veelasamy, aged 28, to aid in investigations. All three have been previously convicted of car thefts.
