‘Use your brain!': Drama erupts in Sepang court as man accuses Cyberjaya suspect as murderer
SEPANG, July 3 – Emotions flared at the Magistrate's Court here this morning when a man believed to be a relative of the University of Cyberjaya murder victim tried to confront one of the suspects. New Straits Times reported that the man, wearing red, approached the male suspect as he was being led out of the courtroom following a remand extension hearing around 9.50am. 'Woi! Kau bunuh saya punya adik, pakai otak sikit lah, saya punya adik you kasi mati!' he yelled from a distance, accusing the suspect of killing his younger sibling. Police at the scene quickly intervened to de-escalate the situation and prevent further incident. M. Manoharan, the lawyer for the male suspect, criticised police for publicly alleging his client harboured 'bad intentions'. He said the case was still under investigation and warned against prejudicial statements, emphasising the principle of presumed innocence. 'We have raised our objection with the Magistrate regarding the statement made by Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan, which included fragments of evidence that could potentially compromise my client's case,' he was quoted saying outside court. 'This is a serious matter. The police are responsible for conducting investigations, but it is the role of our learned and capable judges to determine guilt or innocence,' he added. Police earlier confirmed they had obtained a seven-day remand extension for the three suspects. None of the suspects have so far been charged with a crime, with the case being investigated for murder. According to police, the three suspects were known to the victim, who was found dead in her condominium unit by a friend at about 10 am on June 24. She was staying in the room with five other students, but her housemates had reportedly returned to their hometowns for the holidays on June 21.

Bus seatbelt not working? Lodge a report via app, JPJ urges passengers
KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 — Express bus and tour bus passengers can file a complaint directly to the Road Transport Department (JPJ) via the MyJPJ application if the safety belt at their seat has a problem and is not working. Kuala Lumpur JPJ director Hamidi Adam said the complaint, which has to be accompanied by photo or video evidence and details of the bus journey to facilitate the investigation, can also be sent via email. He said it is the responsibility of bus drivers to remind their passengers to wear their seat belts before starting the journey. 'This is to improve the level of public transport safety and to reduce the risk of serious injury or death in accidents such as those involving express buses,' he told a press conference during a special seat belt operation for express buses and tour buses at the Gombak Toll Plaza last night. Commenting on the operation, he said a total of 23 express bus passengers were issued compounds for not wearing seat belts, involving 20 locals and three foreigners. Hamidi said the excuse given by most of the passengers who were compounded was that they did not know that they had to wear the seat belt while travelling on a bus. He said notices were also issued to two express bus drivers for driving in the right lane and the vehicles not having functioning emergency doors. 'A total of 41 express buses and three tour buses were inspected in the operation that began at 8pm yesterday and ended at midnight,' he said. He said that safety in public transportation is a shared responsibility, and that compliance with the law is not merely a regulatory obligation but a reflection of our commitment to valuing human life. 'All quarters, whether they are passengers, operators or the enforcement, need to work together in creating a safe and disciplined transport system,' he said. Wearing seat belts has been made mandatory for all passengers of express and tour buses since July 1. — Bernama
