Police to quiz actor who allegedly assaulted girlfriend
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said police received a report from the victim on April 7 over the incident that allegedly occurred in Ara Damansara.
"The victim suffered soft tissue injuries to her face and arm.
"We will call him in soon for questioning to facilitate investigations under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt," he said today.
Offenders face up to one year in jail, a fine of up to RM2,000 or both upon conviction.
Hussein said police records showed that the victim had lodged a report alleging that she was assaulted by the suspect last year.
"The victim later retracted the report," he said.
It was reported that actor Ammar Alfian denied allegations of assaulting a woman, claiming that he was framed to tarnish his reputation.
He addressed the accusation in an Instagram Story.
Ammar, known for his role in the film 'Paskal', said this was not the first time he faced such allegations.
His statement came after a woman claimed she was beaten and abused by the actor in the past year.

NGO: Azam's apology to Teoh family shows compassion
KUALA LUMPUR: The apology tendered by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki to the family of the late Teoh Beng Hock showed compassion on part of the graft-busters, a non-governmental organisation leader said today. Rapera Movement founder Datuk Seri Dr Jahaberdeen Mohamed Yunoos said the apology was an exemplary move by Azam. "The apology tendered by Tan Sri Azam Baki to the family of the late Teoh Beng Hock and the additional compensation is a good initiative and compassionate move by the MACC. "Though he doesn't have to do so legally, such a compassionate initiative ought to be followed by other government agencies where relevant," he said in a statement today. Earlier, MACC announced that the commission was prepared to offer a goodwill contribution to the family of the late Teoh Beng Hock to support the welfare and educational needs of his child. This follows findings from investigations into Teoh's death, which had spanned the past 16 years. Azam acknowledged the outcomes of previous probes, including the Royal Commission of Inquiry in 2011, the Court of Appeal's ruling in 2014, and the most recent police investigation, which had been classified as "No Further Action" (NFA) by the Attorney-General's Chambers. The commission also acknowledged that, on May 12, 2015, the government had paid RM600,000 in compensation to Teoh's family, along with an additional RM60,000 in legal costs as a full and final settlement under Sections 7 and 8 of the Civil Law Act 1956.

Senior Perak cop's teen murder trial: Defence to revise court submission after prosecution shifts stance
IPOH, July 16 — The defence in the trial of DSP Mohd Nazri Abdul Razak, who is accused of killing 17-year-old Muhammad Zaharif Affendi Muhd Zamrie two years ago, will be filing a new written submission related to Section 300(d) of the Penal Code. Defence counsel M. Athimulan told the High Court here today that they needed to review their previous submissions. 'Our submissions comprised both Section 300(c) and (d) of the Penal Code, but were more concentrated on Section 300(c). However, the prosecution's stand now is that they are relying on Section 300(d). 'This creates a need to revise our entire submissions. In view of that, we are seeking an adjournment to file this new submission, with the court's indulgence, in about six weeks,' he said. The court allowed the adjournment, giving the defence six weeks to file the new written submission, while the prosecution was given four weeks thereafter to respond. Judge Datuk Bhupindar Singh Gucharan Singh Preet fixed October 1 and 2 for the full hearing of submissions from both parties. Deputy Public Prosecutor Afzainizam Abdul Aziz said Section 300(d) was mentioned during the prosecution's opening statement on Nov 5 last year, but the defence's submissions had not focused on that section. 'In our opening statement, we stated that we would be relying on Sections 300(c) and 300(d) of the Penal Code. However, the submissions we received from the defence mainly focused on Section 300(c). 'Therefore, the defence now needs to submit arguments on Section 300(d) as well, to ensure there are no issues if the case proceeds to the appeal stage,' he said when met at the court today. According to the opening statement, Section 300(c) defines murder as an act done with the intention of causing bodily injury, and the injury is sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death. Section 300(d), on the other hand, refers to an act committed with the knowledge that it is so imminently dangerous that it must, in all probability, cause death, even if there is no intention to cause death. The prosecution was conducted by Afzainizam together with Nasrul Hadi Abdul Ghani, while the accused was represented by lawyers Athimulan, Datuk Mior Faridalathrash Wahid and Aiman Hakim Kamaruzzaman. Mohd Nazri is accused of causing the death of student Muhammad Zaharif Affendi near Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Jati here, between 11.55am and 12.32pm on December 15, 2023. The charge is framed under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries the death penalty, or a minimum of 30 years and up to 40 years' imprisonment. If not sentenced to death, the offender shall also be liable to at least 12 strokes of the cane. — Bernama
