In Rembau, teacher accused of molesting 16-year-old student with disability
Rembau police chief Supt Hasani Hussain said the student, who is enrolled in the Integrated Special Education Programme (PPKI), lodged a report at 5.15 pm yesterday, alleging she was molested by a 36-year-old male teacher around 10.40 am.
Initial investigations revealed the incident occurred after the student had completed a cross-country run and was experiencing leg pain.
'According to the student, the teacher massaged her legs, starting from the soles of her feet to her calves and then to her thighs. During this, she felt the teacher had touched a sensitive area,' Hasani said in a statement today.
He said the student initially confided in a friend and later informed another teacher about the incident on June 30.
The suspect, detained around 10 pm last night, has denied the allegation. The case is still under investigation under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017. — Bernama

Police report lodged after dogs, cats found dead at Penang Hill
Some of the dogs and birds that were found dead at Penang Hill this morning. (Facebook pic) GEORGE TOWN : Penang Hill Corporation (PHC) has lodged a police report after the discovery of several dead animals, including dogs, cats, and birds, at various locations across Penang Hill. PHC general manager Cheok Lay Leng said the carcasses of seven dogs, three cats and five birds were found at multiple locations this morning, with some in open areas and spotted by the public. 'There might be more. We are still looking. We found food spread along the jeep track and a few locations,' he told FMT. 'We suspect the main targets are the stray dogs. There have been claims by hikers and visitors in recent weeks that they were bitten by strays.' Cheok said the agency will also lodge formal reports with the veterinary services department and the wildlife and national parks department (Perhilitan) on Tuesday, besides conducting its own internal probe. Earlier today, Penang Hill posted on its Facebook page that the animals were believed to have been poisoned. 'Using poison to eliminate stray animals is unacceptable and is punishable under the Penal Code (Act 574) and/or Animal Welfare Act 2015 (Act 772) with imprisonment, a fine, or both,' it said.
