New Johor police chief pledges reform under GREAT principles

JOHOR BAHRU: Newly appointed Johor Police Chief CP Ab Rahaman Arsad has committed to leading with reform and integrity, guided by the ‘GREAT’ principles—Good Governance, Responsibility, Empathy, Accountability, and Tenacity of Purpose. A Johor native, Ab Rahaman is serving in his home state for the first time in his career. Leveraging his extensive police experience, he aims to enhance law enforcement and administration as Johor’s 67th police chief. At his inaugural press conference at the Johor Police Contingent Headquarters, he outlined three key missions: ensuring professional and ethical policing, improving service delivery, and boosting the welfare of Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) personnel. “These priorities align with PDRM’s national direction, but I will reinforce them through the GREAT principles to guide all Johor police personnel,” he said. Ab Rahaman highlighted Johor’s strategic significance due to its borders with Singapore and proximity to Indonesia, making it a crucial national entry point for economic and social activities. “Johor’s 10,000-strong police force is our greatest asset in addressing challenges like cross-border crime and drug trafficking,” he said. Expressing confidence in his team, he added, “With cooperation from department heads and district police chiefs, we will maintain high safety standards and public trust.” Ab Rahaman succeeds Datuk M. Kumar, now Director of Bukit Aman’s Criminal Investigation Department. - Bernama

Insiden kebocoran gas: Tiada layanan dua darjat bantuan baik pulih rumah - Amirudin

Insiden kebocoran gas: Tiada layanan dua darjat bantuan baik pulih rumah - Amirudin

SHAH ALAM – Kerajaan Selangor menolak dakwaan kononnya wujud layanan dua darjat dalam pemberian bantuan baik pulih rumah kepada mangsa di Putra Heights dan Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru susulan tragedi letupan paip gas sebelum ini.Menteri Besar Selangor, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari berkata, kadar bantuan tersebut ditentukan berdasarkan tahap kerosakan rumah dan bukan semata-mata berdasarkan lokasi kejadian."Memang kita ada tiga kategori bantuan rumah iaitu rosak teruk hingga RM300,000, pembaikan sederhana RM60,000 dan satu lagi kategori di antara dua tahap tersebut."Kalau rumah itu cuma rosak sedikit, walaupun terletak di Putra Heights harga siling tetap RM60,000. Jadi kalau ada dakwaan kononnya siling di Putra Heights lebih tinggi berbanding Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru, itu tanggapan liar," katanya.Beliau berkata demikian selepas menghadiri Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Bersama Penyelarasan Industri (JBI) Negeri Selangor yang dikendalikan bersama Kementerian Pelaburan, Perdagangan dan Industri (MITI) di Ballroom, Dewan Jubli Perak, Bangunan Sultan Abdul Aziz di sini pada Isnin.Amirudin menjelaskan, berdasarkan laporan terkini oleh Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad (SPNB), kerja pembaikan di Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru berjalan lebih cepat berbanding Putra Heights yang ketika ini baharu mencapai tahap siap sekitar 22 hingga 24 peratus."Saya maklumkan dalam Sidang DUN sebelum ini, kerja-kerja itu dijangka siap sekitar Oktober, tapi kita akan semak semula sekiranya ada aduan berhubung proses yang berjalan perlahan," tambah beliau.Terdahulu, media melaporkan bahawa Pertubuhan Kebajikan Penduduk Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru berharap kerajaan memperhalusi dan menyemak semula harga siling kos baik pulih rumah yang terjejas dalam tragedi kebakaran saluran paip gas di Putra Heights, April lalu.Pengerusinya, Baharudin Yusof dipetik mendakwa wujud jurang perbezaan harga siling baik pulih rumah di bawah seliaan Majlis Bandaraya Subang Jaya (MBSJ), iaitu RM60,000 bagi Putra Heights dan RM30,000 bagi Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru menyebabkan penduduk merasa terkilan dan terpinggir.Menyentuh isu bayaran bantuan sewa rumah kepada mangsa terjejas, Amirudin memaklumkan bahawa kerajaan negeri akan meneruskan bayaran tersebut hingga tempoh enam bulan."Bayaran sewa untuk tiga bulan pertama sudah disalurkan dan kita akan sambung untuk tiga bulan berikutnya."Mungkin ada sedikit kelewatan kerana senarai nama perlu disahkan terlebih dahulu, tapi bantuan tetap akan diteruskan," katanya.

MACC officers acquitted in gang robbery case by Kuala Lumpur court

MACC officers acquitted in gang robbery case by Kuala Lumpur court

KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court acquitted and discharged three Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers, including a former officer, of gang robbery charges after the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case. Judge Izralizam Sanusi ruled that the evidence did not support the allegations, leading to the officers’ release without a defence being called. The accused—Muhamad Haffiz Mohd Radzi, 35, Mohd Fahmee Mohamad Nor, 43, and former officer Azwan Asli, 40—were charged in December 2023 with robbing a man named Kun Gao of cash, a silver suitcase, and a black Louis Vuitton bag. The alleged incident occurred at a condominium on Jalan Ampang in December 2021. Judge Izralizam noted that the victim’s police report indicated the officers’ presence was linked to a money laundering investigation. While the victim claimed he felt threatened, the court found no proof of wrongful restraint or use of a firearm. “The actions were within the scope of MACC duties,“ the judge stated. The charge under Section 395 of the Penal Code carries a maximum penalty of 20 years’ imprisonment and whipping. Deputy Public Prosecutor Nor Aisyah Mohamed Zanyuin led the prosecution, while the defence team included lawyers Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad and Azizzul Shariman Mat Yusoff. Seventeen witnesses testified during the trial, which began in November 2024. - Bernama
