Amy Search Denies Verbally Assaulting Shila Amzah; Files Police Report Against Singer
Singer Shila Amzah recently alleged that veteran rock icon Amy Search verbally assaulted her during a concert rehearsal. She claimed the incident was sparked by a social media post, and added that his wife had been observing her from a distance with a piercing stare and crossed arms. Fearing for her safety, Shila lodged a police report. Investigations are currently ongoing, and the case may take some time to resolve, especially now that it has been reported the accused has also filed a police report against the mother-of-two. Here's the full story: According to several reports, police have confirmed that Amy Search has filed a 'covering report' against Shila Amzah, after being accused of verbally assaulting the singer in front of stage crew, musicians, and clients on stage during a rehearsal for a music festival. Shah Alam District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohd. Iqbal Ibrahim explained that the report is more of a counter-report to deny the allegations made against him. 'Yes, the report was made. However, it was more of a 'covering report' and a denial. The report has been referred to the Dang Wangi police station. It was filed on 15th July,' he told reporters. The rock legend's wife, Datin Norhasniza Hassan, later posted a photo showing that she and his lawyers were also present at the police station when the report was lodged. However, neither Amy nor his legal team have provided further explanation or responded to media enquiries about the case. At the time of writing, Shila Amzah has yet to respond to the report filed against her. However, she previously stated that she would allow the authorities to carry out their investigations before deciding on her next course of action. She also clarified that she is open to sharing the stage with Amy and will remain professional when it comes to work. As for actress Nabila Huda, the daughter of Amy Search, she has yet to comment on the allegations made against her father. However, many suspect that she may have alluded to issues with her stepmother in a recent Instagram post, which featured her rehearsing a monologue for an upcoming project, one that seemingly mirrors the current real-life situation.

Mixed reaction among social media users over apology and compensation to Teoh's family
KUALA LUMPUR: There was mixed reaction from social media users over the apology to Teoh Beng Hock's family and the subsequent rejection by the family, with many calling for a closure of the case which has dragged on for 16 years. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) had apologised to Teoh's family over his death, adding it was prepared to offer a goodwill contribution to support the welfare and education of Teoh's child. Several social media users urged the family to accept the apology and compensation and move on but there were others who voiced doubts over the apology and called for greater accountability. One user, Boon Kiat Kor, commented: "How can an apology be enough? I just want to know why close the case and protect those responsible for his death?" Another user, Metafora Estetika said: "It seems this story is not easily concluded. A mysterious death deserves clear answers, regardless of the outcome. The apology by the MACC chief holds little value in buying the public's emotions." Pak Lah questioned the lack of action: "How did this happen? Who was involved? What action was taken?" User Meight QuanQuan added:: "One can come to terms with death, but the perpetrator should not go unpunished. Compensation and truth should not be boxed into the same solution especially if the perpetrator is protected." Teoh Beng Hock, a 30-year-old political aide, died on July 16, 2009, after falling from the 14th floor of the MACC Selangor office while being questioned. His death led to a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) and further investigations, but the case was eventually classified as No Further Action (NFA) by the Attorney-General's Chambers. While some Malaysians are still demanding answers, others believe it is time for the family to move on. Facebook user Hishamuddin Bin Mohd Shah wrote plainly: "Just move on." Another commenter, Azmi Ab Rahman, said: "Don't entertain this anymore. They asked for a Royal Commission, it was done. The police ruled NFA. Compensation has been offered. Why make more noise?" Meanwhile, Kok Yuen Loh added: "What does the family expect? An apology is useless, do they want those allegedly involved to go to jail?" Others, like Mat Shuk, called for closure. "Close the case. No need to entertain it. They've taken the compensation, enough time has been wasted." And Muhd Syapiq said: "Still not over it? The man won't come back to life. No one will ever be caught. Just accept the compensation." However, the family stood their ground, with Teoh's sister, Lee Lan, rejecting the MACC's apology during a press conference with the Teoh Beng Hock Association for Democratic Advancement (TBH-ADA). She described it as a publicity stunt tied to the 16th anniversary of his death and said an apology without accountability was meaningless.

Criminal charges needed for misconduct, apologies and compensation are inadequate
KUALA LUMPUR: An apology and compensation to the family of the late Teoh Beng Hock cannot end the "culture of impunity" within law enforcement agencies, an electoral watchdog said. The Bersih steering committee said criminal charges must be pursued, failing which it would risk sending the wrong message to the public. Bersih was responding to the apology issued by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Azam Baki on the 16th anniversary of Teoh Beng Hock's death yesterday. Azam also said MACC was prepared to offer a goodwill contribution to the family to support the welfare and educational needs of Teoh's son. The MACC chief commissioner said Teoh's death had led the commission to introduce a series of reforms aimed at safeguarding individuals involved in its investigation. In an immediate response Teoh's family rejected the apology, saying it was insincere. "As long as the culture of impunity within law enforcement agencies is not eradicated, those who abuse their power will continue to find ways to evade justice, and reforms will ultimately be cosmetic or nothing more than empty talk," Bersih said in its statement, adding that even after Teoh's case, deaths in custody have increased. Bersih reiterated its call for the government to respond positively to the Teoh family's demands and review the decision of No Further Action (NFA).
