Fake Currency, Crime Items Worth Over RM700,000 Disposed Of
KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 (Bernama) -- Brickfields police have disposed of case items worth RM721,239, including counterfeit US dollars linked to a foreign exchange fraud syndicate, with items dating back as far as 2017. Brickfields District Police Chief ACP Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood said the disposal involved 124 completed criminal and commercial crime investigation papers. 'A total of 47,906 criminal case items with an estimated value of RM630,565 were disposed of, while commercial crime cases accounted for 1,325 items valued at RM90,674,' he told a press conference at the Brickfields District Police Headquarters here today. Among the items disposed of were RM9,833 in cash and large quantities of seized goods, including those linked to gambling, unlicensed entertainment outlets, prostitution and illicit massage centres. Ku Mashariman berkata antara kes itu melibatkan seorang warga asing yang terlibat dalam penipuan pertukaran wang pada tahun lepas dan suspek menggunakan USD400,000 wang palsu untuk memperdaya mangsa yang mahu menukar mata wang. Ku Mashariman said one of the more notable cases involved a foreign national who carried out a currency exchange scam last year. The suspect had attempted to deceive a victim by using USD400,000 in counterfeit currency. 'We arrested the suspect and seized USD400,000 in fake banknotes. He was charged in court, sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment, and will be deported to his home country,' he said. He added that the main purpose of the disposal exercise was to ensure that all case items are lawfully destroyed in accordance with legal provisions, to reduce storage burden and to minimise the risk of theft from long-term storage.

Dr Mathole Motshekga Primary School in Midrand to get facilities upgrades
JOHANNESBURG - The Dr Mathole Motshekga Primary School in Rabie Ridge, Midrand will see facilities upgrades of at least R73,833. Over 2,400 students are currently enrolled in the school, which has been operating out of mobile container classrooms since its founding in 2003, with little government assistance for infrastructural upgrades. A lack of space for assemblies and lunch breaks is one of the school's most urgent problems, and the donation addresses this issue at a critical moment. Many of the students depend on the school's feeding programme on a regular basis, thus it is believed that the remaining money has been allocated to it. Nthabiseng Sebola, the school's principal, said it also implied a more appropriate and safe space for the pupils to gather, learn, and grow. "For this kind donation, we are deeply grateful. The new assembly area will serve as a magnificent structure that symbolises progress and opportunity for our children for many years to come," said Sebola. Using money raised from their festive gift-wrapping station this past December, Mall of Africa delivered the donations to the school. Additionally, the gift-wrapping station raised money to improve the mall's extended community while providing customers with a seasonal convenience. A new, bigger covered gathering place has been built, providing a much-needed useful area to handle the school's expanding student body. In order to make the current assembly space safer and more useful for its smaller events and lunch service, it has also been renovated. Yasmeen Lorgat stated: "We are thrilled to have been able to improve the facilities at this school in a way that will have a lasting impact, as education is such an important part of helping empower children to live a fulfilled life." She went on to say that they are dedicated to giving back to the community, and this donation is one method to transform seasonal kindness into long-term assistance.
