Teacher accused of molesting disabled student in Rembau school
The incident reportedly occurred on May 5, with the student lodging a police report on July 5.
Rembau police chief Supt Hasani Hussain confirmed the case, stating that the student, enrolled in the Integrated Special Education Programme (PPKI), alleged the molestation took place around 10.40 am.
The student claimed the 36-year-old teacher massaged her legs after she complained of pain following a cross-country run.
'According to the student, the teacher massaged her legs, starting from the soles of her feet to her calves and then to her thighs.
During this, she felt the teacher had touched a sensitive area,' Hasani said.
The student initially shared the incident with a friend before reporting it to another teacher on June 30. The suspect was detained at 10 pm on July 5 but has denied the allegations.
The case is being investigated under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017. - Bernama

High Court orders TikTok user to pay RM100k to Rosmah for defamation
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has ordered a TikTok account holder to pay RM100,000 in damages to Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor for defamation. Judge Datuk Ahmad Shahrir Mohd Salleh ruled that Ku Muhammad Hilmie Ku Din must compensate Rosmah after finding the defamatory content had harmed her reputation. The court dismissed the claim for exemplary damages, citing insufficient evidence. However, general and aggravated damages were awarded at RM100,000, with an additional five per cent annual interest until full payment. Ku Muhammad Hilmie was also ordered to pay RM20,000 in legal costs. The defamatory video, posted on March 22, 2023, allegedly linked Rosmah to supernatural practices and immoral conduct. Judge Ahmad Shahrir noted that such accusations carry severe reputational consequences in a society that values religious and moral integrity. Despite Rosmah's prior conviction in the Sarawak solar hybrid case, the judge clarified that this should not influence the defamation damages assessment. Her legal team, led by Datuk Abu Bakar Isa Ramat and Mohamed Baharuden Mohamed Ariff, successfully argued that the TikTok post had unjustly tarnished her public image. Rosmah initially filed the suit in September 2023 after Ku Muhammad Hilmie failed to respond, leading to a default judgment in May last year. She claimed the video portrayed her as engaging in sinful and idolatrous acts, damaging her standing as the wife of a former prime minister and a charity patron. - Bernama

Rosmah wins RM100,000 in defamation case over black magic allegation
The court ordered interest of five per cent per annum on the judgment sum to be imposed from the date of judgment until full satisfaction of the award. 08 Jul 2025 12:14pm Datin Rosmah Mansor - BERNAMA FILE PIX KUALA LUMPUR - The High Court today ordered a TikTok account holder to pay damages of RM100,000 to Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor in a defamation suit filed by the wife of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. Judge Datuk Ahmad Shahrir Mohd Salleh ordered Ku Muhammad Hilmie Ku Din, 35, to pay the amount to Rosmah, after finding that the plaintiff had successfully established her entitlement to damages for defamation. "This court finds a global award in the sum of RM100,000 for general and aggravated damages. This court has decided not to award exemplary damages. "The claim for exemplary damages is not allowed as there is no cogent evidence before this court to support such an award," he said during the decision for the assessment of damages today. The proceeding was held online. The court ordered interest of five per cent per annum on the judgment sum to be imposed from the date of judgment until full satisfaction of the award. Ku Muhammad Hilmie Ku Din, 35, was also ordered to pay costs of RM20,000. In his judgment, Shahrir said the court found that the defamatory allegations levelled against Rosmah impute her involvement in supernatural practices and associate her with spiritual entities. "These imputations constitute an attack on her character in the domains of religious integrity and moral standing. "In a societal context where religious values and moral propriety carry significant weight, such allegations assume a particular seriousness and have the potential to cause distinct reputational harm,' he said. Shahrir said he had considered the judicial trend towards moderation in damages, describing it as compensatory in nature and not intended to be punitive. MORE TO COME
