AGC to re-examine influencer's false report case
PETALING JAYA: The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) will re-examine the case involving a motoring influencer who lodged a false police report claiming to be missing which led to a massive search and rescue operation in Sungai Tui, Bukit Kepong just over a week ago. According to Sinar Harian, Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar said that although the court has already sentenced the influencer and his brother to one month in jail and fined them RM1,500, his office would conduct a thorough review of the charges and facts of the case. 'I cannot comment further at this point because sentencing falls under the jurisdiction of the court. 'But we will look into the matter again comprehensively — that's all I can say for now,' he told reporters after launching the Santuni Madani: Satu Pemimpin Satu Kampung programme at SK Pulai Chondong near Machang in Kelantan on Saturday (July 26). On Friday, Magistrate Suzana Mokhtar at the Muar Magistrate's Court in Johor sentenced the accused, Tengku Nizaruddin Tengku Zainudin, 38, better known as 'Ija,' and his younger brother, Tengku Abdul Aziz, 30. They pleaded guilty to lodging a false report under Section 182 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of six months, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both upon conviction. The case sparked public outrage among the influencer's followers and frustration among rescue personnel, including the Water Rescue Team (PPDA), whose divers carried out more than 10 high-risk dives in the murky river in search of the two men. Earlier, in an impact statement delivered in court, Fire and Rescue Zone 4 chief Senior Fire Superintendent II Norshuhada Amsari, who led the operation, described the accused's actions as an abuse of emergency resources. She said the hoax disrupted actual emergency operations and wasted government assets and logistics. Norshuhada also revealed that the false alarm forced her team to postpone another critical search mission at Sungai Gersik involving a victim believed to have fallen from a bridge.

Pas-led rally participants march towards Dataran Merdeka
KUALA LUMPUR: Participants began assembling at Dataran Merdeka this morning for the Pas-led rally, with groups steadily making their way towards the iconic square. At around 11.20am, a crowd gathered along Jalan Tun Perak and started marching in the direction of Dataran Merdeka. Leading the procession was a pick-up truck that doubled as a makeshift stage for speakers addressing the rally. Checks by the New Straits Times (NST) showed that policemen were seen ensuring that participants marched only on the left lane of the road heading towards Dataran Merdeka. They were heard chanting slogans calling for the prime minister to step down. Meanwhile, as of 11.45am, the crowd expected to gather at Central Market — comprising non-governmental organisations (NGOs), youth groups, and social media influencers — had yet to form, with the area remaining relatively quiet. A check by the NST found that police were already on-site earlier in the day to monitor the situation, with the overall atmosphere remaining calm. Many passers-by were seen dressed for a day out, with some heading to nearby shops and attractions at Central Market. The crowd included visitors attending a Tourism Selangor event held at the venue. Separately, checks showed an increased police presence at various public transportation stations. A group of policemen was seen at the Bangsar LRT Station at around 11.45am. A police roadblock was also spotted along Jalan Bangsar, just below the LRT station.
