Mara: Fatal convoy organised among students, not by us
PETALING JAYA: Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) says it did not organise any convoy involving its students that led to a fatal accident on Wednesday (July 23). 'Based on initial investigations, the convoy was an informal initiative casually organised by the students through a WhatsApp group discussion without any official involvement from the institution or Mara,' it said. "As an immediate measure, Mara has provided a death benefit of RM1,500 to the family of each deceased student. Additionally, accident and death insurance claims amounting to up to RM38,000 for each student are being processed, subject to the conditions set by the insurance provider,' it said. 'At the same time, Mara will continue to work closely with the involved educational institutions and relevant agencies to ensure follow-up actions are taken responsibly, transparently, and humanely,' it said. It issued the statement on Thursday (July 24) following the accident involving 15 students from Kolej Poly-Tech Mara (KPTM) Bangi and one student from the German-Malaysian Institute (GMI) Kajang. In the accident at KM262 of the North-South Expressway (PLUS), three KPTM students were killed while nine other students were reported injured and three students were unharmed. A student from GMI sustained minor injuries and is currently receiving treatment at Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital, Seremban, Negri Sembilan. On the three students who were killed, Mara said that they are Haris Azib Sulaiman, Afkar Fitri Affendi and Aliff Syahmi Abdul Hakim, 'Haris's body was taken to Masjid Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi, Sepang for burial. The body of the late Afkar Fitri was sent to Masjid Melaka Pindah, Melaka while the body of the late Aliff was returned to the family home in Gombak, Selangor,' it added. It said that the accident took place on Wednesday after the students gathered at petrol station in Bangi at around 11.30pm and travelled as a convoy to Uncle Red Restaurant, Seremban. 'It is understood that other students travelled from different locations such as Bangi Gateway and Seremban, to the same meeting destination. The meeting reportedly took place at the restaurant until 2.00 a.m. before the students began their return journey towards Bangi and Kuala Lumpur,' said Mara. It added that the accident is believed to have occurred during the return journey and added that there are two scenarios based on the testimony obtained. 'The first involves a group of students who reportedly collided with each other after one of the motorcycles allegedly lost control, resulting in a fatal accident,' said Mara. It then said that the police have obtained closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage related to this incident, but it cannot be disclosed to the public as investigations were still ongoing. 'The second occurred shortly after, involving a lorry and a car that stopped on the same lane following the first accident. The student involved in the second accident was believed to have attempted to overtake the heavy vehicle but failed to notice a car stopped in front of the lorry, resulting in a collision,' it added. 'Mara expresses deep sorrow over this tragedy and extends condolences to the families of the victims. We are fully committed to ensuring the welfare and needs of all involved students are given due attention, including emotional and psychosocial support for the families and fellow students,' it then said.

'Durian' discipline on daughter goes too far: Man jailed five years, wife fined RM18,000
KUALA LUMPUR: A man was sentenced to five years' imprisonment, while his wife was fined RM18,000 by the Sessions Court here today after both pleaded guilty to abusing their daughter with a durian husk last week. Judge Mohd Zaki Mohd Salleh ordered Bunyamin Sukiman, 42, to serve his sentence from the date of arrest on July 18, while his wife, Yorlini Abdullah Umar, 32, will face three months' imprisonment if she fails to pay the fine. The court also ordered both accused to be placed on a three-year good behaviour bond without surety and to perform 12 months of community service. According to the charge, Yorlini, the biological mother of the victim, and Bunyamin, the child's stepfather, were accused of abusing the girl, aged seven years and 11 months, causing injuries to her body at a residence in Jalan Ampang here around 6 pm on July 16. They were charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment, a fine of up to RM50,000, or both, upon conviction. According to the facts of the case, the senior assistant for Student Affairs at the victim's school had called her in over an allegation that she had cut another student's headscarf. The girl was found to be innocent, but during the investigation, she disclosed that she had been beaten, had her ear twisted by both her mother and stepfather, and punched by the man. She further revealed that they had placed her hand on the floor and slammed a durian husk on it, causing injury. The wounded hand was then soaked in warm salted water, and tied with adhesive tape and left overnight. Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Ravindejit Kaur urged the court to impose a severe sentence, stressing that the victim, a minor, was entitled to protection, not violence. "The act of pressing a durian husk onto the child's hand and subsequently soaking it in salt water is an act of extreme cruelty. Parents are meant to protect their children, not unleash their anger upon them,' she submitted. In mitigation, the couple's lawyer, Simret Singh, pleaded for a lenient sentence, stating that Yorlini was unemployed and financially dependent on Bunyamin, who works as a vehicle sales advisor and is the family's sole breadwinner. "The couple has two children, including the victim. They were remanded for seven days and cooperated fully with the authorities. During their detention, both expressed remorse and pledged not to repeat the offence,' said the lawyer.- Bernama

Ukraine, Russia attack each other's Black Sea coasts after latest round of peace talks
(Reuters) -Ukraine and Russia launched air attacks along each other's Black Sea coasts early on Thursday, hours after brief direct talks between them failed to make any progress on steps to end nearly three-and-a-half years of war. Russian forces staged the latest in a series of mass drone attacks on Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa, injuring at least four people and causing several fires as well as damage in the historic centre, a UNESCO world heritage site. The famous Pryvoz market in Odesa was among the places hit, Regional Governor Oleh Kiper said. "It is not just a place of trade, it is the living heart of Odesa," he added. On Thursday morning, some residents were cleaning up shattered glass in the streets nearby. "So what if the (drones) are flying? We will shoot them down; they will not break us," Yevhen, a 20-year-old student among those helping with the cleanup, told Reuters. Emergency officials in Russia's Krasnodar region on the Black Sea said debris from a falling drone struck and killed a woman in the Adler district near the resort city of Sochi. A second woman was being treated in hospital for serious injuries, they said on the Telegram messaging app. The administrative head of the Sirius federal district south of Sochi said a drone hit an oil base, giving no further details. Russia's aviation authority said operations were suspended at Sochi airport for about four hours. Russia also attacked the central region of Cherkasy overnight, injuring seven people, including a nine-year-old, and damaging more than a dozen residential apartment buildings. Negotiators had earlier discussed further prisoner swaps at a brief session of peace talks in the Turkish city of Istanbul, but they remained far apart on ceasefire terms and a possible meeting of their leaders. "Yesterday, at a meeting in Istanbul, the Russian side was again presented with a proposal to immediately and completely cease fire. In response, Russian drones are striking residential buildings," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wrote on Telegram. He said Russia had launched 103 drones and four missiles during its overnight attack, which deputy prime minister Oleskiy Kuleba said struck civilian infrastructure, including seaports, transport hubs, and residential areas. Russian forces have in recent weeks intensified drone attacks on towns and cities far from the 1,000 km (620-mile) frontline across eastern and southern Ukraine. Ukraine's military has been targeting energy and military sites in Russia in response to concerted Russian attacks which have destroyed towns and cities and devastated its energy infrastructure.
