#SHOWBIZ: Sharnaaz Ahmad's stern warning to actors: 'Check IDs before dating fans'
KUALA LUMPUR: Actor Sharnaaz Ahmad, known for his role in Blood Brothers, has urged his fellow actors to be more discerning when meeting or dating female fans.
In a news report yesterday, he advised that if an actor meets or dates a female fan, they should first ask to see her identity card (IC).
"This is to ensure that she isn't underaged, which could land you in serious trouble," Sharnaaz said.
"We can never fully trust a person's word these days; checking their IC is always best."
Sharnaaz added, "These days, we often see younger girls dressing to appear older than they are. Some even falsify their ages."
The Blood Brothers star's comments follow singer-actor Naim Daniel's recent appearance at the Sessions Court in Putrajaya.
Naim, 28, pleaded not guilty to a charge of physical sexual assault involving a 17-year-old girl.
The alleged offence occurred at a hotel in Petaling Jaya at 8.56pm on May 19.
He was charged under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years' imprisonment and whipping upon conviction.

Shop assistant charged with CBT involving RM114,000
KOTA BHARU: A shop assistant was today charged with 10 counts of criminal breach of trust for allegedly failing to hand over RM114,630.80 to a company 10 years ago, when she was a clerk there. Bibi Kasiran Mohamad, 50, claimed trial for all 10 charges allegedly committed between January and October 2015 at a ticket counter at the Lembah Sireh Bus Terminal, before Sessions Court judge Zulkifli Abllah. She was charged under Section 408 of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of between one and 14 years, whipping and a fine, upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Faiz Fitri Mohamad suggested the court impose a bail of RM5,000 for each charge. However, the accused's lawyer, Muhammad Khairul Azwan Azhan, sought the court to impose a bail amount of RM15,000. He reasoned that his client, the accused, was currently employed as a pastry shop assistant and is a widower after her husband's death last year. "My client is only paid RM45 a day, besides taking care of her elderly parents and has no previous criminal record," he said. The court set RM18,000 for bail with one surety.

Ex-ticketing clerk claims trial to 10 counts of CBT involving RM114,630
KOTA BARU: A former bus ticketing clerk pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here to 10 charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving ticket sales of RM114,630.80 at the Lembah Sireh Bus Terminal a decade ago. Bibi Kasiran Mohamad, 50, entered the plea on Sunday (June 29) after the charges were read before Judge Zulkifli Abllah. She is accused of allegedly failing to remit ticket sales proceeds ranging from RM7,000 to over RM18,000 per transaction to a bus company, between January and October 2015. The single mother, who was working at a ticketing counter at the terminal, was charged under Section 408 of the Penal Code, which provides for a prison term of between one and 14 years, with caning, and a fine, upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Faiz Fitri Mohamad appeared for the prosecution, while counsel Muhammad Khairul Azwan Azhan represented the accused. Earlier, Ahmad Faiz Fitri informed the court that while the prosecution was not offering bail due to the 10 charges against the accused, it proposed RM5,000 per charge if bail were to be considered. However, Muhammad Khairul Azwan pleaded for a lower sum, citing his client's age, the death of her husband in August last year, and her responsibility in caring for her ailing elderly parents. He added that she also suffers from age-related illnesses and a heart condition. "My client works at a kuih stall with a daily income of RM45. This is also her first offence. Therefore, I respectfully request the court to impose a reduced bail amount of RM15,000 for all charges combined," he submitted. The court subsequently allowed bail at RM18,000 for all the charges, with one surety, and fixed Aug 28 for case mention and submission of documents. -Bernama

Ex-Sabah Water Director claims RM17 million not his
KOTA KINABALU (June 26): A Sessions Court here today heard that large amount of cash allegedly found by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in a former Sabah Water Department director's office pantry belonged to someone else. The first defence witness, Ag Mohd Tahir Mohd Talib, 63, told judge Abu Bakar Manat that most of the cash found in the pantry did not belong to him — only the amount inside a knapsack was his. Under cross-examination by deputy public prosecutor Mahadi Abdul Jumaat, Ag Mohd Tahir disagreed with the suggestion that he was the only person who had a key to the pantry. Mahadi: At the pantry and inside the knapsack, there was nothing belonging to anyone else. Agree? Ag Mohd Tahir: Only inside the knapsack was mine. Mahadi: In the pantry, there were items belonging to someone else? Ag Mohd Tahir: Yes. Mahadi: Can you tell the court what items belonged to someone else? Ag Mohd Tahir: A large amount of cash. He also agreed that no items in the knapsack belonged to someone else. Earlier, under examination-in-chief, Ag Mohd Tahir testified that the bulk of the RM20 million allegedly found in the pantry was already there when he entered the office. He claimed that from time to time he would keep his money there, especially when his brother came to request political donations. He maintained that only RM3 million of the RM20 million belonged to him. Ag Mohd Tahir is on trial alongside his wife Fauziah Hj Piut, 58, and former department deputy director Lim Lam Beng @ Lim Chee Hong, 69. He faces 11 charges, while Fauziah faces 19 charges under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUA). The couple also faces two joint charges under the same section, while Ag Mohd Tahir has an additional charge under Section 4(1)(a). The alleged offences were committed between October 4 and November 4, 2016, at various locations including Ag Mohd Tahir's office, a house in Sembulan, bank branches, a condominium in Sulaman, and a tower in Kuala Lumpur. Lim is alleged to have committed related offences between October 13 and November 8, 2016, at the MACC office in Jalan UMS and at a residence in Kota Kinabalu. Ag Mohd Tahir also testified that he was unaware his wife had 19 bank accounts totalling RM2.2 million. He disagreed with claims that MACC had seized 900 pieces of jewellery, initially valued at RM1.7 million in 2016, and later appraised at RM4.1 million in 2023. The prosecution is led by deputy public prosecutors Mahadi Abdul Jumaat, Haresh Prakash Somiah and Zander Lim. Ag Mohd Tahir and Fauziah are represented by Datuk Hj Ansari Abdullah and Erveana Ansari. Lim is defended by Datuk Tan Hock Chuan, Baldev Singh and Kelvin Wong. The trial resumes on July 23.
