Energy Commission disposes of seized goods worth over RM1.7mil
According to the commission, the disposal carried out on Tuesday (June 3) involved seizures from cases in Perlis, Kedah and Penang that led to 21 investigation papers resolved through court rulings and compounds.
Of the total, 16 involved electrical accidents, four were electricity theft cases, and one was for the use of illegal electrical equipment.
"The disposal process was conducted at a licensed metal disposal centre in Balakong, Selangor, and was witnessed by our Enforcement and Regional Operations director Ismail Zaili Yusop, and Investigation Unit deputy director Nik Mohd Bakhry Abu Bakar,' it said in a statement on Wednesday (June 4).
It added that the disposal process was carried out according to instructions from the prosecution under Sections 406A and 413 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Act 593).
The commission also stressed that the disposal was conducted in an environmentally responsible manner through the appointment of a company licensed by the Environment Department (DOE) to handle e-waste management.
This process complies with the Environmental Quality Act 1974 and the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Waste) Regulations 2005, it added.
"The management of seized goods also involves the separation of scheduled waste, recyclable materials and regular waste. Suitable items are sent to legitimate buyers and appropriate recovery facilities according to the waste categories,' it said.
The commission said this integrated approach reflects its ongoing commitment to law enforcement while supporting environmental conservation. – Bernama

[UPDATED] Ex-college student who pleaded guilty to infanticide faces sentencing on Aug 8
GEORGE TOWN: The High Court here today fixed Aug 8 for sentencing a former college student who pleaded guilty to infanticide in May this year. Judge Rofiah Mohamad set the date after hearing arguments, including mitigation and a social behaviour report from the Welfare Department's Mohd Zahir Harun. "This is not a simple case. The court needs more time to consider all the arguments to do justice. "As such, the court sets Aug 8 for sentencing," she said today. M. Santhiea, now 23, had on July 16, 2020, been charged with the murder of her newborn at the driveway leading to the fourth-floor parking lot of Sri Ivory Apartment in Air Itam at about 8.25am on July 10 the same year. She was charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries the mandatory death penalty upon conviction. She was only 18 at the time. It was reported then that the newborn was thrown from the 13th floor of the apartment unit. The teen mother and her 18-year-old boyfriend, with whom she admitted having had sexual intercourse, were detained soon after the incident to assist in investigations. On May 29 this year, she pleaded guilty to an alternative charge of infanticide. The charge was framed under Section 309A of the Penal Code, which states that a woman commits infanticide when she causes her newborn's death while suffering from a disturbed state of mind, having not fully recovered from childbirth. The offence is punishable by up to 20 years' imprisonment and a fine upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Nurul Khairiah Dahalaan prosecuted, while Santhiea was represented by a team of three counsels led by RSN Rayer. Earlier during proceedings, Santhiea wept uncontrollably and was seen shivering when shown several photographs of the incident as the facts of the case were presented. She had to be consoled by Rayer and later by her mother. In mitigation, Rayer appealed for his client to be released on a bond of good behaviour. He said the accused, 18 at the time of the incident, could be considered a young offender under the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC). Under the law, he added, the court has the discretion to replace a jail sentence. Rayer said his client had already been remanded for four months since July 2020 when she was initially charged with murder, a charge that carried the mandatory death penalty. "Even at that time, my client and her family went through a living hell. "They were ostracised by society. "As such, I humbly appeal to the court to take all this into consideration and to temper justice with mercy," he said, adding that his client was also an excellent student in school. Rayer also told the court that psychiatric evaluation conducted by Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta showed his client suffered from major depressive disorder with anguish and distress. "What happened to my client was truly heartbreaking, something no 18-year-old should have to go through. "She even considered ending her own life. "It is our hope that she is given a second chance to start anew," he added. Rayer also said that only his client was subjected to legal action, while her boyfriend was released without charge. Meanwhile, Nurul Khairiah urged the court to impose a deterrent sentence due to the seriousness of the offence and in the interest of the public. She said the accused had already been given the privilege of a reduced charge despite the gravity of the offence, and had been released on bail since January 2021. "If the child had been given a chance to live, she would have been a cute five-year-old today," she said.

CGS International maintains bullish view on Malakoff ahead of tenders
CGS International Securities Malaysia Sdn Bhd remains positive on Malakoff Corporation Bhd, citing its strong position to secure upcoming Energy Commission tenders amid rising power demand and the urgent need to ensure supply stability and reserve margins. The brokerage stated that its outlook is underpinned by Malakoff's established track record in thermal plant development and operations, supported by its ready-to-deploy plans, sites, and assets. 'We estimate the plant extensions could generate at least RM40 million in annual net profit from 2026,' it said in a research note. 'This will be further supported by the RM950 million mini-hydro project and the RM660 million waste-to-energy (WTE) plant, which we forecast could contribute a combined RM35 million in net profit annually.' CGS International said a potential win for a 1.4 gigawatt greenfield gas plant could add at least RM200 million in recurring annual net profit and RM1 billion in equity value, equivalent to 20 sen per share, based on its back-of-the-envelope calculations. Together, these projects offer strong earnings visibility, backed by long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) and concessions. While Malakoff's share price has rebounded from its recent lows, the firm sees further upside potential, driven by a pipeline of unpriced assets, including the mini-hydro and WTE plants, its stake in E-Idaman, and potential PPA extensions for the GB3, Prai Power, and Segari plants. 'We also see Malakoff as a strong contender for new gas-fired plant contracts,' it said. On May 10, 2025, the Energy Commission called for proposals for new gas-fired generation capacity in Peninsular Malaysia through competitive bidding, comprising two categories: (1) an expansion of existing plants and (2) development of new plants. Malakoff has submitted bids to extend the PPAs for three of its gas plants, GB3 640 megawatts (MW), Prai Power (350 MW), and Segari (1,303 MW), through to 2029, and plans to participate in bids under Category 2. CGS International maintained its 'Add' recommendation on Malakoff with a target price of RM1.20 per share, based on a conservative assumption of just one joint venture win. — BERNAMA
