Tilting the law: Viral clip helps Subang Jaya police nab trailer driver with unsecured load
In a statement today, Subang Jaya District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Wan Azlan Wan Mamat, said an investigation was launched as soon as the video went viral on social media last Tuesday.
He said the Subang Jaya District Police Headquarters' Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division (BSPT) located the driver at a company in Negeri Sembilan at 3pm yesterday.
'During questioning, the 23-year-old driver admitted to being negligent while operating the vehicle,' he said.
A summons was issued under the Traffic Rules, LN 18 166/1959 (dangerous and unsecured load).
'The driver's negligence poses a danger to other road users,' he said.
Wan Azlan added that drivers found guilty of failing to secure their loads properly under the Traffic Offences Rules could face a fine of up to RM2,000.
In the 36-second video, the southbound trailer was seen carrying a container in a tilted position, believed to be due to improper securing.

Costa Mesa Fish Fry turnout low as Latinos, fearing ICE raids, withdraw from public
With tensions running high in Costa Mesa's Latino community — and as ICE agents were observed in town over the weekend — organizers of the annual Fish Fry in Lions Park reported record low attendance at this year's event. Hosted by the Costa Mesa-Newport Harbor Lions Club since 1946, the three-day affair typically draws up to 20,000 visitors to the city's west side with freshly prepared fish dinners and food trucks, live concerts and a full-size carnival with rides and games. While admission is free, proceeds from the attractions go to the club which, in turn, doles out grants and scholarships to many community organizations. In exchange, recipients volunteer at the fry, helping the 27-member club pull off what is its largest fundraiser of the year. But last weekend, Lions Park appeared relatively sparse compared to previous years and organizers say it's likely because many local Latino families are opting to stay home, as immigration activities ramp up throughout Orange County. 'We were missing a lot of Latino families who would normally come out for this,' Costa Mesa-Newport Harbor Lions President Cabot Harvey said Tuesday. 'ICE was two blocks away at 19th and Newport, and we didn't know what they were gearing up for, but we were on the lookout. I spoke to several Latino families who told me the same thing — people were just too afraid to come.' While no formal tallies were kept, Harvey and other organizers estimated the turnout was about 25% lower than in recent years. The carnival area, typically teeming with children and families, was nearly vacant, with no lines at the many rides and game areas. Councilwoman Arlis Reynolds, who represents the 5th council district that includes Lions Park, said there have been increased ICE sightings in the area while the number of families who have had a loved one taken into custody continues to grow. 'Lower attendance at the Fish Fry, at summer school, at churches, at parks and in public generally is evidence of the real fear so many in our community feel,' Reynolds said Wednesday. 'It's an awful and unacceptable situation when community members don't feel safe at a longstanding community festival at their local park.' Harvey said diminished attendance means less proceeds for the club to share with the school athletic teams, clubs and organizations that rely on the annual revenue boost. The Fish Fry ordinarily brings in anywhere from $40,000 to $50,000 that then goes out to about a dozen different groups. 'We just don't want to lose money, because our fundraising goal is trying to get as much as we can to give back to the community,' he said.

Blackpink fans lose SS$26,000 to ticket scams ahead of Singapore concerts
SINGAPORE, June 25 — Excitement is building for Blackpink's Deadline world tour stop in Singapore, but not all fans are celebrating. In just two weeks, at least S$26,000 (RM86,000) has been lost to scams involving bogus resale tickets to the K-pop girl group's upcoming shows on November 29 and 30 at the National Stadium. According to a June 24 statement by the Singapore Police Force, there have been at least 18 reported cases where victims were tricked into paying for fake tickets advertised on platforms such as Telegram, Carousell, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook Messenger, and Xiaohongshu. Scammers often sweet-talked their victims with screenshots or videos of what appeared to be legitimate tickets or payment receipts. They also claimed that tickets were in limited supply and had to be snapped up quickly — a tactic meant to pressure fans into making hasty payments. Worse, when the tickets never arrived, some scammers doubled down, asking for more money on the pretext that earlier payments hadn't gone through. Victims only realised they had been duped when the sellers disappeared. This isn't the first time Blackpink's popularity has been exploited by scammers. During the Born Pink tour in 2023, police received at least 128 reports of similar scams, with total losses reaching over S$206,000. Many of those affected were young Singaporean females aged 10 to 29. The police have reminded fans that tickets for the Deadline concerts are non-transferable and non-resellable. Anyone caught with a resale ticket risks being denied entry to the concert without a refund. To combat the scams, the police are working with platforms like Carousell, Facebook Marketplace and TikTok to remove suspicious ticket listings. They also urge the public to download the ScamShield app and to only buy tickets through Ticketmaster, the tour's official ticketing partner.

Zelenskiy visits UK, Ukraine minister faces graft probe
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has met King Charles and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer during a short visit designed to discuss Ukraine's defence and how to put additional pressure on Russia. Zelenskiy met King Charles at Windsor Castle ahead of political meetings later in the day. The two shook hands for cameras on what was their third meeting this year and the latest gesture of Charles', and the United Kingdom's, support for Ukraine. The Ukrainian president later met Starmer and the speakers of both houses of parliament. "We will also be negotiating new and powerful steps to increase pressure on Russia for this war and to put an end to the strikes," Zelenskiy said on X following a deadly Russian attack on the Ukrainian capital. Today, I had a substantive meeting with UK Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. Our main objective right now is to stop Russian terror and force Russia into discussed the development of defense cooperation. Collaboration in this area will allow Ukraine to receive stable… — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) June 23, 2025 Officials in Kyiv said nine people were killed and 33 injured in an overnight assault on the Ukrainian capital. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the casualties occurred during a strike on a residential building. Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko described the attack as involving heavy rocket and drone strikes. Zelenskiy's spokesman said the president would also talk to Ukrainian military personnel who are being trained in the UK and representatives of think tanks. "The main purpose of the visit is to deepen defence co-operation," the spokesman said. Ukraine's anti-corruption authorities said on Monday they suspected a sitting deputy prime minister of receiving a $US345,000 ($A534,500) kickback, the latest investigation into a high-level Ukrainian official over graft. Ukraine has stepped up its efforts to crack down on corruption as it seeks membership in the European Union while also fending off Russian forces in the more than three-year-old war. Officials did not name the minister, one of five deputy prime ministers, who they suspect of abusing power by approving the development of state-owned land in a scheme that would have led to a loss for the state of about $US24 million. The alleged crime took place while the suspect was serving as a minister of regional development, according to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU). The plan, which allegedly involved five other suspects, was halted when anti-graft officials obtained a court-ordered seizure of the land, NABU said. The EU has made fighting corruption a top prerequisite for Ukraine to join the 27-member bloc. The deputy minister is among the highest-ranking officials targeted by anti-corruption authorities. Investigations have also focused on MPs and a former deputy head of the presidential administration. with DPA
