‘I never left Zayn Rayyan alone,' says mother
PETALING JAYA: The mother of the Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin told the Sessions Court here Tuesday (July 22) that she never left her child alone, except during working hours and school sessions. "Never, not even once. I was the one who carried, gave birth to, and raised Zayn (Zayn Rayyan). Throughout his life, I was only ever separated from him during my working hours and when he was at school. "I never left Zayn alone or neglected him," said Ismanira Abdul Manaf, the first defence witness during the examination-in-chief by her lawyer Haresh Mahadevan on the second day of the defence proceedings in the child neglect case involving her autistic son. Ismanira, 30, firmly denied that she neglected Zayn Rayyan, as alleged in the charge brought against her. "I was not at Block R the entire time, and I never went near the river area as alleged. I genuinely lost my child on that day (Dec 5, 2023), and it was not a case of neglect," she said. Yesterday, Judge Dr Syahliza Warnoh ordered Ismanira to enter her defence after the prosecution successfully established a prima facie case against her, while her husband, Zaim Ikhwan Zahari, 30, was discharged and acquitted of the same charge. They were charged with neglecting Zayn Rayyan in a manner likely to cause him physical harm, at or around Block R, Idaman Apartments in Damansara Damai, extending to a nearby river area, between noon on Dec 5 and 9.55pm on Dec 6, 2023, under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years' imprisonment, a fine of up to RM50,000, or both, upon conviction. - Bernama

M'sia, Thailand bolster cooperation to shut illegal border crossings
MALAYSIA and Thailand continue to bolster bilateral cooperation to address security and smuggling issues along the border, particularly in the Sungai Golok–Rantau Panjang area, which has previously been a hotspot for cross-border movements via illegal bases. Narathiwat Province deputy governor, Wichan Chaisetsumpan, said the Sungai Golok Municipal Council has held several rounds of discussions with Malaysian authorities to find long-term solutions, including efforts to shut down several illegal crossings. 'So far, the relevant authorities from both countries are working towards finding the best possible solution. We are confident that this issue can be tackled gradually for safety and convenience of communities along the border,' he told Bernama recently. He said the Thai government, through its relevant agencies, has also taken similar measures by closing illegal routes, particularly along the Narathiwat-Kelantan border. 'However, several crossings are occasionally opened based on necessity, under strict surveillance to ensure no smuggling or illegal activities take place,' he added. Since December last year, Kelantan police have also shut down several major illegal crossings along Sungai Golok, particularly in the Rantau Panjang area, following concerns over the smuggling of prohibited goods, the influx of undocumented migrants, and cross-border criminal activities. — BERNAMA
