Musician arrested for assaulting housemate in Ampang door-slamming case
According to Ampang Jaya police chief ACP Mohd Azam Ismail, the altercation began last Monday when the victim, a 52-year-old man, was startled by the loud slamming of a bathroom door at 6.30 am. Irritated by the noise, the victim retaliated by slamming the door back, which escalated the situation.
'The suspect then emerged from his room holding a guitar stand and struck the victim with it. He also threatened to bring a friend to assault the victim further,' Mohd Azam said in a statement. Police arrested the musician at 4.45 pm yesterday in Pandan Jaya and confiscated a black guitar stand as evidence.
The case is being investigated under Section 324 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon and Section 506 for criminal intimidation.

Inspector arrested for rape, demanding sexual favours
SUNGAI PETANI: A 29-year-old police inspector from the Kuala Muda district police headquarters has been arrested for allegedly committing rape and soliciting bribes, including sexual favours. The officer, who is unmarried, was detained following two separate reports lodged on July 3 and 4, one of which was filed with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). Kuala Muda police chief Assistant Commissioner Hanyan Ramlan said initial investigations revealed that the suspect had allegedly abused his authority as an investigating officer to demand sexual favours from individuals involved in a case under his supervision. "I can confirm that the case is still under investigation. "In terms of disciplinary violations, we are conducting a joint probe with the MACC. "The suspect has been remanded for four days to assist with the investigation and will subsequently be handed over to the MACC for further action," he said today. The case is being investigated under Section 376(2)(f) of the Penal Code. Hanyan said the investigation is focused on two possibilities: whether the officer abused his position as an investigating officer to coerce the victim, or whether the sexual act occurred without consent. "We suspect the officer may have used his authority and influence to obtain sexual favours from the victim," he added.

Accreditation Of Preacher In Sex Video Case Already Withdrawn - Mohd Na'im
KUALA KRAI, July 6 (Bernama) -- The accreditation of a freelance preacher alleged to be involved in the circulation of sex videos had already been revoked, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar. He urged the public to allow the police to carry out their investigation fairly and transparently. 'Based on information received, he was previously granted permission to preach, which has since been withdrawn. 'We must place our trust in the police to carry out a thorough and impartial investigation. It is best to allow the process to take its course to avoid any miscarriage of justice,' he told reporters after officiating the Wacana Dakwah Al-Falah Memacu Ummah MADANI programme at Pondok Sungai Durian here today. Yesterday, Shah Alam police chief ACP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim confirmed that an investigation was underway following a police report lodged by the preacher's second wife on June 16. She alleged that he had circulated explicit videos involving her, his first wife, and several other women. The suspect has since been released on police bail pending completion of investigations under Section 509 of the Penal Code, Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act, and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955. Mohd Na'im also reminded religious speakers to uphold Islamic principles and use their knowledge to guide the community, not engage in behaviour that undermines the integrity of religious institutions. 'Any preacher found to have acted in a manner that tarnishes the image of religious institutions will have their accreditation revoked by the respective state religious authorities. 'I also encourage the public to verify the credentials of any invited speaker with the State Mufti Department or religious authority to ensure they are truly certified,' he added.
