Sibu police open sexual harassment probe into man known as ‘Small Apple' for sending lewd messages to two women
Sibu police chief ACP Zulkipli Suhaili said two women have come forward to lodge reports over the disturbing incidents, which are being treated as cases of sexual harassment and exploitation.
'The first report was lodged on July 25 by a 33-year-old woman, who claimed she met the suspect at a wedding in 2022.
'Throughout a year of acquaintance, he allegedly sent her private lewd images under the pretext of seeking her opinion,' he said in a statement last night.
Zulkipli said that the second report came a day later from a 40-year-old woman.
'The second complainant said that their conversation initially revolved around health matters before the suspect suddenly sent her explicit photos and videos,' he said.
Police have opened an investigation under Section 509 of the Penal Code for acts intended to insult a person's modesty, which carries a penalty of up to five years in prison, a fine, or both upon conviction.
Zulkipli urged those with information on the suspect to contact investigating officer Insp Magdaline on 019-8153727 or head to the nearest police station.
'We take this matter seriously as such online sexual exploitation is worrying, and we encourage other victims to come forward,' he added. — The Borneo Post

Repeat offender stabbed policeman in Pudu while carrying drugs
KUALA LUMPUR: The man who stabbed a police corporal during a patrol in Pudu last week turned aggressive because he was carrying drugs, says Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay. The 56-year-old suspect, a local man, was found to have 14 prior criminal records involving drugs and violent offences. He is currently remanded for seven days until next Thursday, with the case being investigated under Section 307 and Section 186 of the Penal Code for attempted murder and obstructing a public servant, as well as Section 39A(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. Speaking to reporters after visiting the injured officer at Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia today, Ayob Khan said Corporal Mohd Nadzri Sudiman of the Pudu police station is in stable condition. "He suffered injuries to the small intestine, with the stab wound about three centimetres wide and seven centimetres deep. Fortunately, it did not hit any vital organs," he said. The officer is now under medical supervision, able to speak but still in pain due to surgery. "God willing, he is expected to recover within one to two weeks," Ayob Khan added. Also present during the visit were Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad, Bukit Aman Management (Administration) deputy director Datuk Azizee Ismail, Wangsa Maju police chief ACP Mohd Lazim Ismail and Cheras police chief ACP Aidil Bolhassan. Ayob Khan said police are constantly reviewing their standard operating procedures (SOP), including the need for body cameras among field personnel. At the time of the incident, Mohd Nadzri was not wearing a body camera, although he was on patrol with a colleague. "We have proposed that all personnel, especially those in the Motorcycle Patrol Unit and Mobile Patrol Vehicle Unit, be equipped with body cameras," he said. Under phase one, a total of 7,648 body cameras have been distributed nationwide. Another 10,000 units are expected to be delivered in the second phase. - Bernama
