KUCHING (May 16): An Indonesian man who trespassed into a house while half-naked was sentenced by the Magistrates' Court here today to eight months in jail.
Yonas, 37, pleaded guilty before Magistrate Mason Jaro Lenya Barayan to a charge under Section 448 of the Penal Code, which provides for up to three years in prison or a fine not exceeding RM5,000, or both.
He committed the offence at Lorong Cahaya Damai, Bandar Baru Semariang at around 1.30am on May 12, 2025.
Based on the facts of the case, the 21-year-old female complainant had woken up and gone to the kitchen for a drink when she spotted an unknown man—later identified as Yonas—standing half-naked behind the door of her sister-in-law's room.
Shocked, she immediately alerted her brother who, with the help of several neighbours, managed to apprehend Yonas as he attempted to flee.
Police arrived at the scene and took custody of the accused, who was found to be without any form of identification.
Further checks with the Immigration Department confirmed there was no record of him legally entering Malaysia.
Meanwhile, the Sessions Court yesterday sentenced Yonas to six months in jail and four strokes of the cane after he pleaded guilty to illegally entering Malaysia, with Judge Musli Ab Hamid ordering the imprisonment to commence from the date of arrest.
The charge against Yonas was framed under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63, punishable under Section 6(3) of the same Act, which provides for a fine not exceeding RM10,000 or up to five years in jail, or both, and whipping of not more than six strokes. jail Semariang trespassing

Drugs Worth RM3.55 Million Seized, Two Vietnamese Women Among Three Arrested

JOHOR BAHRU, July 14 (Bernama) -- Police seized various types of drugs worth RM3.55 million and arrested a local man and two Vietnamese women in special operations conducted on July 10 and 11. Johor police chief Datuk M. Kumar said the three suspects, aged between 32 and 39, were arrested during separate raids conducted by the Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department of the state police and the Johor Baru Selatan district police. He said the syndicate, which is believed to be active since April last year, used gated and guarded residences to store and process the drugs before distributing them to the local market. According to him, the drugs were seized following the arrest of the local man by a roadside, which then led the police to raid a rented room in a shophouse here. "The suspect also led the police to conduct raids at three luxury condominium units, also rented by him, where more drugs were seized and two Vietnamese women were arrested," he told a press conference at the Johor Police Contingent Headquarters, here today He said that in total, the police seized 20.7 kilogrammes (kg) of powder, suspected to be ecstasy, 18.49 kg of marijuana, 154.25 grams of ketamine and 141 grams of erimin 5 pills, as well as various equipment for processing and repackaging drugs, as well as RM800 in cash. He said the current drug trafficking trend also appears to be shifting towards marijuana flowers, based on recent seizures. ''This may be because marijuana flowers have a higher hallucinogenic effect due to their purity, besides being more expensive, with an estimated market value of RM36,000 per kilogramme," he said. Kumar said all the suspects, who tested positive for methamphetamine, were on remand until July 17, and the case was being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and Section 6(3) of the Immigration Act 1959/63.

Kuantan cops put the brakes on 65 mat rempit, issue 194 summonses

KUANTAN: A teenager performing a 'wheelie' on his motorcycle was among 65 individuals detained during the "Op Khas Samseng Jalanan" operation conducted at various locations in the state capital yesterday. The 18-year-old suspect was performing the dangerous stunt near the Pantai Sepat Muslim burial ground when he was stopped by a team of policemen. Acting Kuantan police chief Superintendent Mohd Adli Mat Daud said a total of 194 summonses were issued, and 24 motorcycles were seized for various offences during the operation, held between 4pm and 11pm. "All the suspects were aged between 15 and 25. Besides participating in illegal racing, they were found to be riding without valid licences, using illegally modified motorcycles, displaying incorrect registration plates, and equipping their bikes with modified exhaust pipes. "The special operation was conducted following complaints from residents that illegal street racing activities were organised near their housing settlements," he said in a statement today. Adli said the 18-year-old suspect who performed the wheelie was detained for executing the stunt along a busy road, an act that endangered not only himself but also other road users. He said the teenager is being investigated for reckless driving under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which carries a maximum jail sentence of five years and a fine of up to RM15,000. Meanwhile, Adli added that police will continue to carry out regular special operations to address the "mat rempit" issue and curb illegal street racing in the area. "We have identified several hotspots frequently used for illegal racing activities, including the stretch between Kampung Sungai Soi and Tanjung Lumpur here," he said.

Police bust online sextortion syndicate, teenager among nine arrested

JOHOR BARU: Police have smashed a syndicate involved in online sex scams and extortion following the arrest of nine individuals, including two women and a teenager, in a series of raids under Op Bugil. The suspects, aged between 17 and 50, were detained during operations conducted from June 20 to July 1 in Johor Baru and Kulai area. Johor police chief Datuk M Kumar said the group, believed to be active since November last year, created fake social media accounts and used a female member to lure victims into explicit video calls. "The syndicate would send a link to the victim's phone. Once clicked, it allowed the syndicate access to the victim's contact list and photo gallery. "During the call, the victim would be coaxed into performing indecent acts, which were secretly recorded. The footage was then used to extort money from them." "Victims were usually blackmailed for between RM500 and RM1,000 per video call. If they refused, the syndicate would threaten to send the recording they had taken during the inappropriate video call to all those on the phone contact list, including family members." He said the syndicate also recruited local teenagers who had dropped out of school, offering salaries of between RM2,200 and RM4,000 a month. "These youths were trained before being sent abroad to countries such as Indonesia, Laos and Thailand." Kumar said during the raids, police also rescued three victims, including two teenagers aged 15 and 16. "These teens were forced to work long hours, up to 12 hours a day. They were confined, and any non-cooperative staff would be subjected to beatings. "Although some were given short breaks, their movements were monitored. Their phones and identity cards were kept by the syndicate and in case any of them wanted to leave, they were asked to pay RM30,000 to the syndicate." Items seized during the raids included 27 mobile phones, identification documents, flight tickets, currency exchange receipts, RM140 in cash, foreign currencies, laptops, 49 SIM cards, modems, employment books, a car and a remote-control device. The case is being investigated under Sections 5, 10 and 15(f) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017; Sections 12 and 14 of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007; Regulation 25(1)(o) of the National Registration Regulations 1990; Section 12 (1)(f) of the Passport Act 1966; Section 324 of the Penal Code and Section 43 of the Societies Act 1966.
