Ampang Jaya police chief ACP Mohd Azam Ismail said the 10-year-old victim's body was discovered in Sungai Kerayong, Taman Cheras Indah, near here at 11.20 am, some six kilometres from where she was reported to have fallen into a fast-flowing drain.
'The body was taken to Ampang Hospital for a post-mortem,' he said in a statement today.
Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department's Water Rescue Team (PPDA) operations commander Mohamad Riduan Akhyar said the victim's body was found stuck along the riverbank and has been handed over to the police for further action.
He said 11 members of the PPDA from the Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department, along with rescuers from the Cheras and Bandar Tun Razak Fire and Rescue Stations, resumed the search for the victim at around 9 am today.
It was reported yesterday that the victim, identified as Nur Aida Nur Muhammad, and another child aged 11, fell into the drain. Police received the report about the incident at 6.07 pm.
Public members rescued the other child, while the strong current swept away Nur Aida. It is understood that both children were on their way home from school when the incident occurred.

Six-year-old Rohingya boy allegedly drives car into the drain
CHILDREN should be playing Lego, watching cartoons on their iPad or having pillow fights with their siblings. There is a reason why activities are segregated according to the age group. A very good reason too. But what happens when children decide to do things meant for an adult, like driving a car? The outcome would be a blast and we are not surprised. Recently, a video by netizen @jllmisai went viral, showing a car that went into the drain. It wasn't caused by a drunk driver. According to the netizen, it was driven by a six-year-old boy. Imagine that. Perhaps the kid was driving his imaginery friends about or maybe he wanted to grab some dypers for himself at the grocery store. No one could tell. Kes di Telok Gong, Port Klang pagi tadi.. Kereta masuk parit.. Katanya budak 6 tahun tu yang bawak..🤔 — JalalMisai (@jllmisai) July 19, 2025 While most six year olds are still drinking their mother's milk or eating dirt, here we have a genius capable of operating a vehicle, albeit for a brief moment. But we really shouldn't praise these kids who go fast and furious as this will motivate some other child to do the same. Malaysia already has enough accidents. Netizen @jllmisai alleged that the incident happened in Telok Gong, Port Klang. Also, he said the child involved was a Rohingya. No further information could be derived from the brief video and mainstream news media have yet to provide any updates regarding the case. Regardless, this is not the first time a child has decided to go fast and furious. In July 2024, a 12 year old Malaysian boy was caught joyriding the neighbourhood with his two siblings, aged six and four, in a Perodua Viva. English-language daily New Straits Times reported that this was not the first time the children were seen driving around unaccompanied. Even worse, the children are seen not wearing seat belts. Well at least the child did not crash the car into someone else or decided that the car should be used for a drain inspection. But note that the child was about twice the age of the Rohingya boy. On another note, we would like to remind that only a 16-year-old is allowed to take a motorcycle driving license while for cars, it is 17- ears old. The Rohingya boy needs another 11 years of growing up before he should be allowed behind the wheels. —July 20, 2025 Main image: @jllmisai (X)

Bangladesh to cooperate with Malaysia on investigation of its nationals on terror activity
Dhaka [Bangladesh], July 11 (ANI): Bangladesh has agreed to work with Malaysia to investigate allegations of terror activity against Bangladeshi nationals arrested in Malaysia. The agreement was made during a bilateral meeting between Bangladesh Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain and Malaysian Foreign Minister Dato Haji Mohamad Bin Haji Hasan on the sidelines of the 32nd ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) Ministerial Meeting in Kuala Lumpur on Friday. The Foreign Adviser expressed his concerns with the arrests of Bangladeshi nationals over allegations of terrorism. He reiterated the firm stand of the Government against terrorism and sought Malaysia's cooperation in its own investigation into the allegations through exchange of information and findings. The Malaysian Foreign Minister assured to facilitate access and cooperation with the Bangladesh authorities, the statement said. Earlier, the Foreign Advisor met with the UK Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, where the two leaders held discussions on diverse bilateral, regional, and multilateral issues. Both sides discussed, among others, the ongoing reforms in Bangladesh, the Rohingya crisis, and post-LDC graduation support, among other topics, it said. The Foreign Adviser also called on Winston Peters, the Foreign Minister of New Zealand, Hon Vijitha Herath, the Foreign Minister of Sri Lanka, and Park Yoonjoo, the Vice Minister and Head of Delegation of the Republic of Korea, where a wide range of bilateral and multilateral issues were discussed. Bangladesh became a member of ARF in 2006, a forum established in the early nineties to promote confidence and trust among its 27 members, which include countries in the broader Asia-Pacific region. At present, Bangladesh is co-chairing two of the ARF priority areas, 'Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime' and 'Disaster Relief.' The next session of the ARF Ministerial Meeting is scheduled to take place in Manila in 2026. In the afternoon, the Foreign Adviser delivered the national statement at the Ministerial Meeting of the ASEAN Regional Forum, where he called for greater attention to the Rohingya crisis and consideration of its national and regional security implications. The Foreign Adviser also urged the ASEAN members to positively consider Bangladesh's bid to become a Sectoral Dialogue Partner, the statement said. The Foreign Adviser was accompanied Md Shameem Ahsan, the High Commissioner of Bangladesh to Malaysia, Md Forhadul Islam, Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other senior officials of the Bangladesh Government.

Rohingya refugee gets jail and caning for sexually assaulting disabled teen
MUAR: A Rohingya man has been sentenced to five years in prison and two strokes of the cane by a Sessions Court here after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl with disabilities at a tuck shop here last week. Muhammad Ali Monjur Ahammed, 23, who holds a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) card, admitted to the charge when it was read out by the court interpreter before Judge Sayani Mohd Nor. He was accused of sexually assaulting the teenager inside the shop on Jalan Engan at 6.35am on July 3, after luring her into the bathroom. The victim managed to flee after resisting his advances. The court was told that the girl's mother lodged a police report after finding her daughter in tears upon returning from the shop. Investigations revealed that the accused had previously proposed marriage to the victim, which she had rejected. He was charged under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years' imprisonment and whipping upon conviction. The court sentenced him to five years' imprisonment, two strokes of the cane, and ordered that he be placed under police supervision for two years upon completion of his jail term. Deputy public prosecutor Othman Affan Ismail led the prosecution, while the accused was unrepresented.
