Teacher in Alor Gajah affair controversy lodges report over leaked video
Alor Gajah OCPD Supt Ashari Abu Samah said the teacher lodged a report here recently as she was dissatisfied upon discovering that her intimate video had been circulated.
He said police have opened an investigation under Section 509 of the Penal Code for insulting the modesty of a person and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
"However, we have yet to trace the video in question," he said on Saturday (May 31).
Supt Ashari added that the investigation will be referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further instructions.
On Friday (May 30), the teacher and a male wiring technician were each fined the maximum amount of RM5,000 by the Melaka Syariah High Court for attempting to commit adultery.
The case had previously attracted widespread attention on social media when the female teacher issued a public apology amid allegations of an affair with a 31-year-old married man, known online as "abang wiring".
The matter sparked public outrage after screenshots of lewd and inappropriate conversations between the two went viral on WhatsApp.

Foamy effluent from glove factory sparks shutdown order
SUNGAI PETANI: A rubber glove factory here has been ordered to halt operations after it was found discharging foamy effluent into the public drainage system. Kedah Department of Environment (DoE) director Sharifah Zakiah Syed Sahab said the enforcement action followed a public complaint received on July 27 regarding the incident. She added that an investigation team was immediately dispatched to the site on the same day, where it was confirmed that the factory had released foamy wastewater into the drains.

"This action aims to immediately halt the polluting activity by the factory," she said in a statement today. Sharifah Zakiah said an investigation paper has also been opened under Section 25 of the Environmental Quality Act 1974 (Amendment 2024). Under this provision, those found guilty may face a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine ranging from RM50,000 to RM10 million. "Such a severe penalty reflects the government's seriousness in addressing environmental pollution. "The Kedah DoE will not compromise on any form of environmental contamination. "We deeply appreciate public reports on this matter and pledge to continue monitoring the situation closely," she added. Sharifah Zakiah also urged the public to continue cooperating with the DoE in safeguarding the environment. She said those wishing to lodge a complaint may contact the toll-free hotline at 1-800-88-2727 or visit the e-complaint system at "Everyone's cooperation is vital to ensure the environment is preserved for future generations," she said.

Bank officer loses RM241,700 to online vehicle scam
KUALA TERENGGANU: A bank officer lost RM241,700 after falling victim to an online vehicle scam while attempting to purchase a four-wheel drive. Kuala Terengganu district police chief Assistant Commissioner Azli Mohd Noor said the 52-year-old victim lodged a report at the district police station at 9.37am yesterday. He said on July 4, at 12.30pm, the victim came across a used car advertisement on Facebook by a company allegedly based in West Port, Port Klang, Selangor. "The victim was interested in buying a 2017 Toyota Hilux 2.4. He clicked on the link, which redirected him to WhatsApp, supposedly for the next step in the purchase," he said. The man was then contacted by an individual who requested a copy of his identity card and several payments to proceed with the transaction. Between July 9 and 21, the victim made 40 transactions to 18 different bank accounts, amounting to RM241,700. Azli said the scammer later demanded an additional RM31,000, claiming it was for customs fingerprint verification. "This led the victim to suspect he had been duped, and he stopped further payments," he said. The four-wheel drive was never delivered. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.
