Cops probe viral sex video involving teacher, married electrician
PETALING JAYA : Melaka police have launched an investigation into a leaked sex video allegedly involving a female teacher and a married electrician.
Alor Gajah police chief Ashari Abu Samah said the investigation paper was opened under Section 509 of the Penal Code for outraging modesty, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which deals with the misuse of network facilities.
'The teacher lodged a report as she was dissatisfied with the circulation of the video,' Harian Metro quoted him as saying.
He said a preliminary probe into the mobile phone of the man did not uncover any pornographic content. The case will be referred to the deputy public prosecutor for further action.
The case went viral on social media, with people sharing video clips of the man's wife confronting the teacher.
Also shared were screenshots of lewd conversations on WhatsApp, said to be between the pair.
The scandal prompted the education ministry to temporarily suspend the teacher from her duties.
Following the uproar, the Melaka shariah high court fined both the teacher, Nur Fadilah Zainal, and the electrician, Hairul Ezuan Hamzah, RM5,000 each for attempting to commit an immoral act earlier this year.
They were charged under Section 52 of the Melaka Syariah Offences Enactment 1991. Both paid the fines.

Thailand suggests Malaysia host key border security meeting with Cambodia

(Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Thailand has proposed Malaysia as the neutral venue for the upcoming general border committee (GBC) meeting with Cambodia. Thailand's defence ministry spokesman Surasan Kongsiri said the proposal was in line with the standard international practice of not holding meetings between disputing parties on the territory of one of the nations involved in the conflict, Bernama reported. 'The GBC meeting provides an opportunity to jointly explore a way forward in de-escalating tensions and resolving border and security issues, reflecting our shared commitment to peace, stability, mutual respect, and good neighbourliness,' he said in a statement issued in Bangkok. Surasan said given the sensitive nature of the situation in both countries, it would be more appropriate to hold the meeting at a neutral venue, such as Malaysia. 'While it is acknowledged that, under normal circumstances, bilateral meetings are held on a rotational basis – and that Thailand most recently served as host – this upcoming session is of an extraordinary nature. 'I therefore believe it would be appropriate to convene the meeting at a neutral location,' he said. Thailand's acting defence minister Natthapon Nakpanich is slated to attend the GBC meeting, which Cambodia has proposed to host on Aug 4. Surasan said sufficient time should be given for comprehensive discussions and suggested that the meeting be held from Aug 4 to 7. On Monday, Cambodia and Thailand agreed to a ceasefire following deadly clashes along their border. The agreement was reached at a meeting attended by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, Cambodian prime minister Hun Manet, and Thailand's acting prime minister, Phumtham Wechayachai. More than 35 people have been killed and over 270,000 displaced in both countries since the latest round of hostilities erupted on July 24.

Dr M's call for snap polls illogical and irresponsible, says DAP MP
DAP MP Syahredzan Johan (left) said Dr Mahathir Mohamad's time had passed and the former prime minister must now allow others to lead the country. PETALING JAYA : Bangi MP Syahredzan Johan has dismissed former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's call for a snap election as 'illogical', saying the public wants political stability, not another election. In a statement, Syahredzan said such a demand is irresponsible, especially at a time when Malaysia and the rest of the world are facing turbulent conditions, from global trade wars to military conflicts. 'The majority of Malaysians do not want an election right now. They want a stable government,' he said. He said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had just tabled the 13th Malaysia Plan amid global uncertainties, including impending US tariff decisions and ongoing regional conflicts, such as the border tension between Thailand and Cambodia which continued to loom large. 'Malaysia is not exempt from these global headwinds. What we need now is a steady government, helmed by a leader who can steer the country through these storms,' Syahredzan said. Earlier today, Mahathir urged Anwar to dissolve Parliament to pave the way for a general election. 'If Anwar is truly brave, he should just dissolve Parliament and call for a general election now. He has nothing to fear – after all, his allies claim only 15,000 people attended the rally. Surely, he will win,' he said in a Facebook post. Mahathir was referring to the Turun Anwar rally last Saturday, which was held to call for Anwar's resignation. About 18,000 people took part in the rally, according to police, although the organisers, PAS Youth, claimed that more than 200,000 participants were present. Syahredzan urged Mahathir to respect the country's democratic process and the timeline of the current Parliament. 'Elections will come when the time is right. But that time is not now. The parliamentary term hasn't even reached its maturity. 'To Mahathir, please – your time has passed. We still respect you, but now is the time for others to lead the country,' he added. He warned that the future of the people and the next generation should not be gambled away to serve the ego and self-interests of a few politicians.
