Perak provides RM5,000 aid to families of FRU officers killed in accident
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad noted that similar aid had been extended to the families of victims from a Royal Malaysian Navy helicopter crash previously and said the current assistance was approved at a state executive council meeting.
'The RM5,000 contribution has been facilitated by Yayasan Bina Upaya (YBU) and delivered to the bereaved families,' he told reporters after launching the Perak State Digital Economy Action Plan 2030 and the Smart City Blueprint 2040 here today.
Also present were State Housing and Local Government Committee chairman Sandrea Ng Shy Ching, and State Communications, Multimedia and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) Committee chairman Mohd Azlan Helmi.
The fatal collision occurred at 8.50 am when an FRU lorry carrying 18 officers from Unit 5 in Sungai Senam collided with a stone-laden truck while returning from duties in Teluk Intan during the Chitrapournami festival.
Nine officers were killed and nine others were injured.

Oasis Home targets RM10 million plus annual revenue from new halal health and wellness product line
PUCHONG: Oasis Home Holding Bhd expects to generate more than RM10 million in yearly revenue from its new halal health supplement and wellness product line developed under a joint venture with livestream marketing agency GIMCare (M) Sdn Bhd. CEO Datuk Jaden Teoh Yee Seang said the figure is based on performance benchmarks from GIMCare and its parent company, GIMmedia, which currently records RM30 million in gross merchandise value monthly across livestream and e-commerce channels. 'GIMCare is doing, in similar but not in the same category we're developing, over RM4 million to RM5 million in monthly revenue. So, if we're saying our yearly target is RM10 million, I think that's a comfortable and not exaggerating estimate. I think it's an attainable target,' he told reporters at the joint venture agreement signing ceremony today between Oasis Home's wholly owned subsidiary, Oasis Wellness International Sdn Bhd, and livestream marketing agency GIMCare (M). Teoh said the upcoming wellness range will prioritise strict regulatory compliance and halal certification. 'We are very good in sourcing the ingredients from overseas especially those who have trademark and also comes with clinical research, the ingredients of the supplements.' Teoh said the joint venture aims to tap into halal markets in Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, which have sizeable Muslim populations. 'For example, one of our guests today is from the Ministry of Health who works closely with counterparts in Thailand and Indonesia. If we meet the local requirements, adapting our products to regional markets will be straightforward,' he added. Teoh said Oasis Home's direct-to-consumer business model built on digital sales channels enables cost-efficiency and affordability. 'We don't pay rental or carry heavy operating costs. That's why we can offer premium wellness products at accessible prices. Wellness and healthcare don't have to be expensive but they must comply with regulatory standards.' The joint venture company, OG Alliance Sdn Bhd, will be incorporated with a start-up capital of RM500,000, with Oasis Wellness holding a 51% stake and GIMCare owning the remainder. GIMCare is a wholly owned subsidiary of GIMmedia Sdn Bhd, a multichannel network and top-tier livestream enabler recognised by platforms such as TikTok, Shopee and Lazada. The initial product pipeline includes marine collagen powder drinks, skin health supplements and children's immunity boosters. The products will be distributed via major platforms including TikTok, Shopee and Lazada. OG Alliance is expected to be incorporated by early September, with its first product launch scheduled for the end of the year. Teoh said digital platforms are driving growth in the wellness space, 'In July 2025, TikTok's wellness category alone recorded over RM80 million in monthly revenue. According to IMARC Group, Malaysia's health and wellness market is projected to grow from US$11.4 billion (RM48 billion) in 2024 to US$18 billion by 2033, at a compounded annual growth rate of 4.6%.'

Zayn Rayyan not neglected or abused, child psychologist tells court
Dr Noor Aishah Rosli, 49, the founder of the CPC International psychology clinic in Bandar Baru Bangi, confirmed that she had reviewed the reports provided by the defence. 04 Aug 2025 09:46pm Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin's mother, Ismanira Abdul Manaf appeared at the Sessions Court today. - Bernama photo PETALING JAYA - A child psychologist testified in the Sessions Court today that the late Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin had not been neglected or abused, as indicated by three medical reports from Selayang Hospital and Sungai Buloh Hospital. Dr Noor Aishah Rosli, 49, the founder of the CPC International psychology clinic in Bandar Baru Bangi, confirmed that she had reviewed the reports provided by the defence. When questioned by lawyer Haresh Mahadevan, Dr Noor Aishah said there was no evidence in the reports suggesting that Zayn Rayyan had suffered neglect or abuse. "The reports show no indication of neglect or abuse," the fifth defence witness said during examination-in-chief in the proceedings of Ismanira Abdul Manaf, who faces charges of child neglect involving Zayn Rayyan. Dr Noor Aishah elaborated on the definition of neglect, explaining that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) outlines various forms, including emotional, physical, and educational neglect. She emphasised that neglect must occur over a consistent period to be classified as such. "If a child misses lunch because the guardian is sick, it wouldn't be considered neglect. "But if the child consistently receives inadequate food and is expected to find food themselves, this could be classified as neglect,' she said. In relation to the amended charge against Ismanira, which refers to neglect causing potential physical injury to the child, Dr Noor Aishah pointed out that the use of the word "likely" in the charge implies uncertainty and does not definitively point to physical injury. When questioned whether the amended charge clearly indicated neglect by the accused, the witness responded that it was not specified in the charge. On July 21, Judge Syahliza Warnoh ordered Ismanira to enter her defence after the prosecution successfully established a prima facie case against the woman, while her husband, Zaim Ikhwan Zahari, 30, was acquitted and discharged. The couple was accused of neglecting their autistic son, Zayn Rayyan, in a manner likely to cause physical injury between noon on Dec 5 and 9.55 pm on Dec 6, 2023, in the vicinity of Block R, Idaman Apartment, Damansara Damai, extending to a nearby river. They were charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment, a fine of up to RM50,000, or both, upon conviction. The trial continues tomorrow. - BERNAMA More Like This

Child psychologist clears Zayn Rayyan's parents of neglect claims
PETALING JAYA: A child psychologist testified in court that the late Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin had not been neglected or abused, countering allegations against his parents. Dr Noor Aishah Rosli, founder of CPC International psychology clinic, reviewed medical reports from Selayang and Sungai Buloh Hospitals, finding no evidence of mistreatment. 'The reports show no indication of neglect or abuse,' Dr Noor Aishah stated during the trial of Ismanira Abdul Manaf, who faces child neglect charges. The psychologist clarified that neglect must be consistent over time to be classified as such, citing guidelines from the American Psychiatric Association (APA). She explained that occasional lapses, such as a missed meal due to a guardian's illness, do not constitute neglect. However, prolonged deprivation—such as a child consistently being left to find their own food—could qualify. Regarding the amended charge against Ismanira, Dr Noor Aishah noted the wording 'likely' introduces uncertainty, as it does not definitively prove physical injury occurred. When asked if the charge clearly indicated neglect, she replied that it lacked specificity. Judge Syahliza Warnoh had earlier ordered Ismanira to enter her defence after the prosecution established a prima facie case, while her husband, Zaim Ikhwan Zahari, was acquitted. The couple had been accused of neglecting their autistic son between December 5 and 6, 2023, at Idaman Apartment in Damansara Damai. Charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, they faced up to 20 years' imprisonment or a RM50,000 fine if convicted. The trial resumes tomorrow. - Bernama
