Police probe links between hospital body and Gelang Patah shooting
JOHOR BAHRU: Police are investigating a possible connection between a fatal shooting at a petrol station in Gelang Patah and the discovery of a dead man at Sultanah Aminah Hospital. The victim, a 42-year-old man from Sungai Petani, Kedah, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and no identification documents. Johor police chief Datuk M Kumar stated that CCTV footage showed two individuals leaving the body in a dark-coloured car. Fingerprint checks revealed the victim had four prior criminal records. An autopsy confirmed he died from gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen. Preliminary investigations suggest a robbery took place involving armed men, leading to an exchange of gunfire. Police later arrested three suspects—two locals and one Indian national—in Kuala Lumpur. Authorities seized a Glock 19 pistol, ammunition, and a black Honda Accord. One suspect, a licensed bodyguard, is under scrutiny for firearm ownership. The three have been remanded for seven days.

Sept 10 set for decision on Rosmah's appeal over recusal of trial judge in solar case
Rosmah filed the recusal application at the eleventh hour before Judge Mohamed Zaini was slated to deliver his decision on Sept 1, 2022.- Bernama photo PUTRAJAYA (July 4): The Court of Appeal has fixed Sept 10 to deliver its decision on Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's appeal to recuse a High Court judge who presided over her corruption trial involving the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project in Sarawak. Court of Appeal deputy registrar Muhammad Noor Firdaus Rosli set the date during the case management today. On June 25, the Court of Appeal three-member bench comprising Justices Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, Datuk Azman Abdullah and Datuk Noorin Badaruddin reserved their judgment after hearing submissions from both the prosecution and defence. Rosmah's lawyer, Datuk Akberdin Abdul Kader, confirmed the date when contacted by Bernama . The wife of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is appealing against the decision by the then High Court judge, Mohamed Zaini Mazlan — who has since been elevated to the Court of Appeal — dismissing her application for his recusal from presiding over her case. Rosmah filed the recusal application at the eleventh hour before Judge Mohamed Zaini was slated to deliver his decision on Sept 1, 2022. The application was based on allegations that a draft judgment in her case, purportedly prepared by a third party, had been leaked before its official delivery. On the same day, Judge Mohamed Zaini found Rosmah, 73, guilty of three corruption charges linked to the hybrid solar project, and sentenced her to 10 years in prison and a RM970 million fine, in default 30 years in prison. However, she was granted a stay of execution on both the custodial sentence and the fine, pending the disposal of her appeal before the Court of Appeal. Rosmah was charged with one count of soliciting RM187.5 million and two counts of receiving RM6.5 million in bribes from former Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd managing director, Saidi Abang Samsudin. – Bernama Court of Appeal decision Mohamed Zaini Mazlan recusal Rosmah Mansor
