[UPDATED] Man with 41 criminal records among two shot dead in Jitra [WATCH]
JITRA: A man with a past record of over 40 criminal-related offences and his accomplice were shot dead in a shootout with police near the Bandar Darul Aman exit of the North-South Expressway this morning. The 8.05am incident unfolded when a team from the Kedah Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Bukit Aman, who were patrolling the area, noticed two suspicious-looking men in a four-wheel-drive vehicle and attempted to stop it for inspection. Kedah police chief Datuk Fisol Salleh said the suspects refused to comply and instead opened fire, prompting officers to return fire. "Both suspects were killed during the exchange. "A search of the vehicle uncovered two firearms — a revolver and a semi-automatic pistol — along with several live rounds, a machete, and tools believed to be used in criminal activities," he told reporters at the scene. As a result of the incident, the southbound exit at Bandar Darul Aman was closed to traffic for four hours from 8.30am. Fisol said checks showed that one of the suspects, aged 41, had a past record of 41 criminal-related offences. The identity of the second suspect remains unknown, as no identification documents were found on him. He added that the duo are believed to be members of a larger criminal gang involved in violent crimes nationwide. "Their activities include drug trafficking, gangsterism, factory break-ins, and armed robbery. "Investigations suggest this group has been active since 2020. "So far, the forensic unit has recovered three bullet casings at the scene, and investigations are ongoing," he said. The bodies of both suspects have been sent to the Forensic Department at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Setar for post-mortem. The case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder. Meanwhile, Bukit Aman CID acting director Datuk Fadil Marsus, who was also present at the scene, said both suspects are believed to be part of a criminal syndicate involved in multiple serious crimes. "We are investigating whether they are linked to a group operating in Klang, Selangor. "The syndicate is believed to have over 30 members, and police will take more aggressive action moving forward. "Investigations are ongoing," he said.

Lima '25: 27 reports of home damage so far, say police
LANGKAWI: Police have received 27 reports as of yesterday regarding alleged damage to homes, believed to have been caused by shockwaves from aerial displays at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2025 (Lima '25). Kedah police chief Datuk Fisol Salleh gave his assurances that all reports will be thoroughly investigated before being forwarded to the relevant authorities for further action. "We have the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) to conduct an inspection, and after the inspection and verification are completed, the investigation results will be submitted to the organisers — the Defence Ministry and Global Exhibitions and Conferences Sdn Bhd (GEC) — to determine the appropriate category," he said. He said this at a press conference on security and traffic operations for Lima '25 at the Langkawi police training centre. At the same time, Fisol expressed hope that all reports were genuine and urged the public not to exploit the situation. Meanwhile, he said 9,000 parking spaces have been allocated around the Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre (MIEC) and 300 spaces at Resorts World Langkawi for visitors attending Lima '25 starting tomorrow. "The public planning to attend the air and maritime shows tomorrow are advised to arrive early to secure parking. I also understand that 35,000 online tickets have been sold, which is a substantial number," he said. Fisol also advised the public to use the official Lima '25 e-hailing service, MyCar, as it offers more convenience than driving themselves. Vehicles with MyCar stickers will not be affected by road closures. Previously, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin had said the ministry had taken note of the claims of property damage linked to Lima '25 and would not ignore the concerns raised by affected residents.
