Shocking video shows man bringing dog to poop in Muslim cemetery

Focus Malaysia2 days ago
RECENTLY, an alarming video was seen making its rounds on the Internet. It showed a man walking his dog around a Muslim cemetery.
Living in multiracial Malaysia, we can already tell that this is wrong, considering the Muslim sensitivity towards dogs.
To make matters worse, the dog could be seen defecating on the ground. Perhaps it was a terrible foresight on the owner's part?
However, captions in the video said the man had been walking his dog in the cemetery every week, suggesting that this was intentional.

According to the unverified source, the graveyard was located in Petaling Jaya, somewhere at SS14. No further information could be derived from the brief video or even from mainstream news portals.
On another note, it was quite common for graves to be desecrated. Even in 2023, several headstones were stolen from the Mukim Tebrau Muslim Cemetery at Taman Istimewa, Pandan.
To recap, eleven graves were vandalised for their tombstones, believed to be stolen for resale. Most of the stolen grave markers were river stone headstones that cost more than RM450 a set.
Then there was the Kemunting Muslim cemetery in Bintulu, where 50 graves were defaced with words in red and blue paints. The culprits had used paint to scribble profanities and other markings on the graves.
There were many other cases reported over the years, stemming from a wide range of reasons.
Apparently a cemetery on public land was not locked at the request of the public, especially the next-of-kin, to make it easier to visit, thus exposing it to intrusion.
If tighter control was enforced, it was likely that the man would not be able to walk his dog in the cemetery. —July 2, 2025

Influencers urged to steer clear of hot topics during US immigration crackdown

Avoid politics. That's the advice lawyers are increasingly giving US-based content creators who aren't citizens as an immigration crackdown spreads across the country. "Every chance I get to tell them to scrub their socials even for likes and reposts of innocuous content – like JD Vance or anti-war memes – I do,' said Genie Doi, an immigration lawyer who works with influencers. In the combative, anything-goes world of digital media, Internet personalities tend to gravitate toward hot-button, controversial subjects, not shy away from them. But in the current political climate, lawyers are telling their clients that weighing in on topics like Palestine or the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles, can come with serious risks, including unwanted scrutiny from authorities or unfriendly competitors. Last month, Khaby Lame, a Senegalese-Italian influencer with millions of followers on TikTok, was detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas after overstaying the terms of his visa, according to a Department of Homeland Security senior official. Lame, who has partnered with many mainstream brands, including Pepsi and Hugo Boss, has since voluntarily left the country. Afterward, Bo Loudon, a conservative influencer who is friends with US President Donald Trump's son Barron, took credit for tipping off DHS. Even though Lame typically doesn't speak in his TikTok videos, which come across as entirely apolitical, Loudon has since described him as a "far-left influencer'. Lame didn't respond to a request for comment. "No one is above the law!' Loudon wrote on X. For many social-media personalities around the world, the US is a desirable place to work due to the big marketing budgets of US brands, as well as the proximity to dealmakers and casting directors in Hollywood. But for anyone with a large following on social media, coming into the US these days isn't without potential hazards. In May, Hasan Piker, a popular, far-left political commentator and US citizen, was stopped and questioned by US border agents at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport about his views on Palestine, which he regularly shares on Inc's livestreaming site Twitch. In an interview with Bloomberg News, Piker said he believes DHS interrogated him to send a message to others in his position. "The goal was to threaten people who might also want to speak out and go to protests regardless of their citizenship status,' he said. "It's a threatening environment they want to cultivate to stop people from exercising their First Amendment rights.' "Our officers are following the law, not agendas,' DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin responded via email. "Upon entering the country, this individual (Hasan Piker) was referred for further inspection – a routine, lawful process that occurs daily, and can apply for any traveler. Once his inspection was complete, he was promptly released.' Earlier this year, US Customs and Border Protection revoked Piker's Global Entry privileges – a programme in which approved individuals get expedited clearance on their return to the US. Doi, the immigration lawyer, is now advising clients who aren't US citizens to avoid international travel altogether. At ports of entry, CBP has broad authority to search and seize electronic devices of incoming travelers though the agency says that fewer than .01% of all international travelers were subject to such searches last year. "Every entry at the border is an opportunity for CBP to inspect your electronics without a warrant,' Doi said. One in five Americans get their news from influencers, according to a 2024 Pew Research survey, with 27% of news influencers identifying as conservative or pro-Trump, versus 21% as left-leaning. So far in his second term, Trump has directed most of his attacks on the media at mainstream outlets, ranging from CNN and CBS News to the New York Times – all of which have full-time legal departments poised to respond to such threats. By contrast, even the most popular online creators tend to have much slimmer operations, potentially leaving them more vulnerable to aggressive legal tactics. David Rugendorf, an immigration attorney, said he now advises content creators, regardless of their citizenship status, that anything they have ever posted online could be used against them. As a result, he said, some are opting to delete old posts. "This government,' Rugendorf said, "is particularly attuned to the power of social media' and "wants to counter' certain positions. In early June, Derek Guy, a fashion critic whose popularity has soared on social media for mocking the sartorial choices of conservative politicians, revealed his own status as a longtime, undocumented resident of the US. "The lack of legal immigration has totally shaped my life,' he wrote on X, where he has more than 1 million followers. "It has taken an emotional toll, as this legal issue hangs over your head like a black cloud.' Afterward, some conservatives suggested online that the Trump administration should kick Guy out of the country. Before long, Vice President Vance weighed in on X, posting a meme of the actor Jack Nicholson nodding his head up and down menacingly. Guy didn't respond to requests for comment for this story. In mid-June, Mario Guevara, an independent, Spanish-speaking journalist with a sizable online following, was arrested while livestreaming anti-Trump protests outside of Atlanta. He was subsequently handed over to ICE. Guevara, who moved to the US from El Salvador in 2004 according to the New Yorker, is currently facing deportation hearings. The Committee to Protect Journalists has said that Guevara "has authorization to work' in the US. DHS said that he entered the country illegally. Guevara's lawyer didn't respond to a request for comment. "Following his arrest by local authorities, ICE placed a detainer on him,' DHS's McLaughlin said. "Following his release, he was turned over to ICE custody and has been placed in removal proceedings.' Scrutiny from immigration authorities isn't the only potential risk for politically outspoken influencers. In recent years, a growing number of large advertisers have been shying away from politically active creators, said Crystal Duncan, an executive vice president of brand engagement at Tinuiti, a marketing firm. In recent months, many brand managers have grown even more wary. "In general, brands have been less vocal about political and social issues since the change in administration, given shifts in the political climate and heightened polarization,' said Jasmine Enberg, principal analyst at eMarketer. David Melik Telfer, a lawyer in Los Angeles, said that most international influencers come to the US on O1-B visas, under the same category as traditional entertainers. Lately, he said, the US State Department has been scrutinizing applications more closely and challenging them more often. "They are examining everybody's social media,' he said. "If your number one priority is not being detained and remaining in the US, I would certainly not attend any protest.' – Bloomberg

Singer Ju Hak-nyeon cleared of charges over alleged prostitution activities

Ju Hak-nyeon had denied paying for sex with former Japanese adult actress Kirara Asuka. Photo: Ju Hak-nyeon/Instagram South Korean singer Ju Hak-nyeon, formerly of K-pop boy band The Boyz, will not face charges after he was accused of being involved in prostitution activities. The 26-year-old was in June when the South Korean media reported that his then agency, One Hundred Label, had received an enquiry from Japanese tabloid Shukan Bunshun about his personal meeting with Kirara Asuka, a Japanese adult film actress-turned-influencer, in Tokyo in late May. A South Korean media outlet claimed that he had allegedly paid for sex with the 36-year-old woman. The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul then received a complaint on June 19 from a netizen requesting an investigation into Ju. On July 2, South Korean media outlet Sports Kyunghyang reported that the police had decided on June 25 not to prosecute Ju, as the complaint was based on an Internet article and that there were insufficient specific reasons or circumstances to initiate an investigation. Ju had admitted on June 19 in a letter of apology on Instagram Stories to meeting Asuka, but denied rumours of being involved in prostitution activities. The apology came after he was booted from The Boyz on June 18. He wrote another post on Instagram on June 20, threatening to take legal action against media outlets which continued to spread false information about him. He also said that he was removed from The Boyz with no valid reasons and that his contract termination was done unilaterally by One Hundred Label. The company defended its decision on the same day, saying that he was suspended as the controversy had affected The Boyz's activities and that it provided grounds for contract termination. One Hundred Label warned that it would take legal action against Ju if he continued to repeat the distorted claims. Asuka broke her silence on social media platform X on June 21, saying that she had never accepted money for private sexual services, including during the encounter with Ju. The singer then took to social media on June 22, denying the prostitution allegation again and detailing the sequence of events leading to his sacking from The Boyz. South Korean newspaper The Korea Herald said that a court ruling is expected to determine whether the contract termination is lawful. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
