PADANG BESAR: The General Operations Force (GOF) seized over RM600,000 worth of unregistered cosmetics and pharmaceutical products believed to have been smuggled from Thailand, during a roadblock operation at Km 27 here yesterday. Two local men, both aged 41, were arrested after officers found them driving two lorries loaded with the contraband in suspicious circumstances. GOF Northern Brigade Commander Senior Assistant Commissioner Shahrum Hashim said the lorries were stopped for inspection before officers discovered the illicit cargo.

Man, son arrested over sexual assault of 13-year-old
BALIK PULAU: Police have detained a father and son for sexual offences against their own family member over the past two years. The sexual abuse began when the girl was 13 and continued until she turned 15. The most recent incident took place on July 8 at their apartment in Bayan Lepas. Southwest district police chief Assistant Commissioner Sazalee Adam said at about 11pm on that day, the victim was summoned by her father into the bedroom to pass her some pocket money for school. The man had allegedly sexually molested the victim, an incident which happened often since she was 13. He said the victim was also raped several times by her brother since she was 13, for a year. "The victim related the incident to her mother about 1pm last Friday after the woman wanted her son to look after the girl, who often skipped school. "The victim then came to the police station to report the incident," he said tonight. Following the report, Sazalee said police arrested the 52-year-old father and his 22-year-old son. The father had no prior record, while the son did. Investigations revealed the abuse occurred when the victim was alone at home. "The last rape incident happened mid-2024 by her brother. "The victim was referred to the Penang Hospital for examination," he added. Sazalee said both suspects have been remanded since last Saturday. The case is being investigated under Section 376 of the Penal Code for rape and Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.

University Students Fined For Pornography Possession After HIV Event Raid In Kelantan
Subscribe to our FREE Three individuals, including two university students, were fined for possessing pornographic material on their mobile phones following a police raid at a community health event in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. The lawyer representing the case, Sam CH, clarified on social media that the charges were filed under Section 292 of the Penal Code for 'possessing obscene material' – not for any activities related to a 'gay party' as some media reports suggested. The incident occurred during what the lawyer described as a legitimate community health programme. A banner reading 'Program Mesra Kesihatan Komuniti' (Community Health Programme) was displayed at the venue. Doctors from government health clinics had been invited to speak about HIV prevention and awareness. Counselling sessions were also being conducted. 'No drug was found; no one was caught using drugs that night. No one was having sex at the event place,' Sam wrote in her Facebook post. Legal Consequences and Digital Privacy Warning According to the lawyer, when police found no evidence of illegal activities at the venue, they proceeded to search mobile phones of those present. The three individuals were detained for five days before being fined. The lawyer said her clients have since paid their fines and 'learned their lessons', though she noted they were 'traumatised' by the experience. Sam warned the public about digital privacy, explaining that police can retrieve deleted images and videos from phones. Ladies and gentlemen, never browse pornographic websites with your phone. Police will still be able to retrieve obscene images in your phone even if you had deleted the images and video. She also called for police to focus resources on more serious crimes, including drug trafficking, violent crimes, child sexual exploitation, domestic violence, corruption and fraud. The lawyer emphasised that her comments represented her personal views and not those of her clients or the Malaysian AIDS Council/Malaysian AIDS Foundation (MAC/MAF). NGOs Dispute Police Claims Over Raid Previously, a coalition of 31 NGOs has rejected police claims about the raid, supposedly an LGBTQ+-linked programme. The event was a legitimate health initiative providing HIV testing and sexual health information, not a 'gay sex party' as authorities alleged. MAC confirmed the session was conducted under a Health Ministry-supported model targeting high-risk groups, involving over 70 clients and healthcare providers including doctors. NGOs expressed concern about the re-emergence of raids on health centres and events for minority groups, saying such actions undermine public courage to seek HIV treatment and prevention services. The coalition called on police to correct their 'inaccurate statements' and urged the Health Ministry to investigate the matter.
