Housewife charged over offensive FB comments against King
Suhaila Abd Halim, 39, was charged with committing the offence via Facebook using the profile name Suhaila Halim with intent to annoy others at Hospital Sungai Buloh at 8.30am on Jan 5.
The mother of six was charged under Section 233(1)(a) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which provides for a fine not exceeding RM50,000 or imprisonment for up to one year, or both upon conviction.
She faces a further fine of RM1,000 for each day the offence continues after conviction.
Judge Norazlin Othman allowed the woman, who was unrepresented, bail of RM10,000 with one surety, and also ordered her to report to a nearby police station once a month and not to disturb prosecution witnesses.
The court then set Sept 17 for mention for the submission of documents and the appointment of a lawyer. – Bernama

Photo by Bernama JITRA - A married couple and their four children were found dead in a car that was pulled from Sungai Korok, in Kampung Kemboja, near here, this morning. A relative of the victims, Nor Syafiqah Ishak, 28, confirmed the identities of the six, who had been reported missing since last Saturday. The dead were identified as Muhammad Azim Izat Ishak, 32; his wife Nurul Hidayah Khadijah Razman Efendi, 31; and their children Putra Rayyan Nur Izzat, 9; Hawa Adriana, 8; Annayla Humaira, 7; and six-month-old Tuah Haydar. Some family members and acquaintances could not hold back their grief after seeing the six bodies found inside a car submerged in Sungai Korok, near Jitra today. Photo by Bernama Syafiqah said they started searching for her brother Azim's family along a stretch of the river soon after they were reported missing. "We found no clues because the river is big, deep and murky. "This morning, when the water receded slightly, someone spotted the edge of a car bonnet and we all rushed over,' she told reporters at the scene. She said family members identified the victims at the scene after the car was retrieved from the river by firemen. According to Syafiqah, the family of six had spent the night at a relative's house in Taman Seri Aman in Jitra, before reportedly leaving for home in Jerlun at around 5.30 am on Saturday. "But when they never arrived, we started to worry and tried calling and searching for them. By midday, when there was still no sign of them, we filed a police report,' she said. Meanwhile, Kedah Fire and Rescue Department Zone 1 chief Ahmad Aminuddin Abd Rahim said they received a call regarding the car in the river at 8.38 am. "It was reported that a Proton Iswara Sedan was in the river and that six victims - a man, a woman, three children and an infant - were inside the vehicle. "The recovery operation was completed by 11am and identification of the victims was carried out by next-of-kin,' he said. He added that according to rescue personnel, all the victims were found in the rear passenger seat and the vehicle's windows had to be broken to retrieve the bodies. "The river is six metres deep, and tyre marks, believed to be from braking, were found about one metre from the riverbank,' he said. - BERNAMA

Islamic preachers reminded to uphold ethics, guidelines
KUALA LUMPUR: Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar has called on Islamic preachers and missionaries, particularly independent figures, to strictly adhere to religious ethics and guidelines set by state authorities. He emphasised the need for thorough screening of independent preachers to ensure their teachings benefit society rather than spread slander. Mohd Na'im stressed that holding a position as a preacher does not grant permission to misuse religion for personal gain or engage in unethical behaviour. 'Holding the position of a preacher is not a licence to exploit religion for personal gain or to engage in immoral or unlawful behaviour,' he said in a Facebook post. The minister highlighted the government's commitment to fostering a structured and integrity-driven dakwah ecosystem. Initiatives such as Felo Muda Dakwah (FMD) and Akademi Daie Muda YADIM (ADMY) aim to train young preachers aligned with MADANI values. Since 2014, 364 individuals have undergone intensive training under these programmes. Addressing a recent case involving an independent preacher accused of distributing explicit videos, Mohd Na'im warned of the severe repercussions such actions have on public trust and the reputation of religious institutions. He urged the public to allow authorities to conduct a fair investigation and avoid hasty judgments. 'We must firmly reject the culture of public shaming one another, especially when it is driven by motives of influence-seeking or personal intention,' he said. Police had earlier arrested a freelance preacher suspected of sharing inappropriate content to shame individuals. – Bernama

High profile defamation suit between ex-nat'l shuttler Robert Lin & Supermax boss set for Aug 6-8
THE Kuala Lumpur High Court has fixed Aug 6-8 this year to hear a defamation suit filed by former national men's double badminton player Robert Lin Woon Fui against Supermax Corp Bhd executive chairman Datuk Seri Stanley Thai Kim Sim and businessman Datuk Teh Chee Kien. Lin had on March 15, 2022 filed a defamation suit against Thai and Teh seeking RM10 mil in damages from each of them. Both Thai and Teh filed their defence on May 27, 2022. In addition, Thai also filed a counterclaim against Lin seeking damages. The defamation suits are expected to attract interest as they involve two high-profile personalities. Thai, 65, is the co-founder of listed Supermax Corp Bhd which is today ranked as among Malaysia's Big Four glove makers. The company which has manufacturing plants in Malaysia and the US, exports to over 165 countries. Thai also sat on the board of the Malaysian Rubber Export Promotion Council from 2010 to 2015. Meanwhile, Lin, 42, partnered Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari to reach a career-high world No. 4 in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) rankings in 2006. The duo also helped Malaysia win the team bronze medal at the 2006 Asian Games. The Malaysians were dubbed the 'Chinese men's doubles killer' as they defeated Guo Zhendong and Xie Zhongbo in the 2006 Badminton World Federation World Championships in Madrid. – July 7, 2025 Main image credit: The Edge; ahboy_badminton/Instagream
