Singapore prison officer charged with taking bribes to smuggle nude photos, drugs to inmate in Changi
SINGAPORE, July 25 — A prison officer accused of smuggling nude photos and prescription drugs into Changi Prison in exchange for bribes was charged in court today. Mohammad Asri Abd Rahim, 39, faces five charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act for allegedly receiving S$3,700 (RM12,200) in bribes from an inmate, according to a report published in The Straits Times today. The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said the bribes were meant to induce Asri to smuggle prohibited items, including magazines, into Changi Prison. The offences allegedly took place on seven occasions between August 2021 and June 2022, involving inmate Mohamad Yusof Kasimas, 50. Two other inmates, Wilson Ang, 37, and Murali Vigneshwaran, 36, are accused of helping Yusof pass the bribes to Asri. Asri has been interdicted on half pay pending the outcome of the case, according to the SPS. He told the court he will not be engaging a lawyer and intends to plead guilty on September 5. Yusof and Murali, who remain incarcerated, also said they will plead guilty on the same date. Ang, who is out on bail, was represented by a lawyer, and his case was adjourned to August 22. The SPS said it began investigations on October 10, 2022, after receiving information that Asri had smuggled nude photographs in return for money. Under the Prevention of Corruption Act, offenders may be jailed for up to five years, fined as much as S$100,000, or both.

RM300,000 to promote healthy lifestyles in Putatan
Published on: Tuesday, July 22, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 22, 2025 By: Jonathan Nicholas Text Size: Petagas Assemblyman Datuk Awang Ahmad Sah Awang Sahari. Kota Kinabalu: A total of RM300,000 has been allocated to fund various youth recreational and sporting activities in the state constituencies of Petagas, Tanjung Aru and Tanjung Keramat to promote healthy lifestyles. The joint initiative with Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya who is also Tanjung Keramat Assemblyman, was announced by Petagas Assemblyman Datuk Awang Ahmad Sah Awang Sahari. Speaking at the final match of a football tournament organised by Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah Youth Wings at Fut8, Sembulan, on Sunday, Awang said the programme is a long-term commitment to youth empowerment. 'This tournament tonight marks the final showdown among 18 teams. The response has been overwhelming. 'These are the types of activities that bring young people together, not just to compete, but to build relationships and stay active,' he said. He explained that the annual tournament, now in its second consecutive year, is just one of many youth-centred programmes envisioned under the RM300,000 fund. 'The financial support will go toward programmes that encourage youth participation in sports, recreational activities, and other constructive engagements. 'We aim to help young people aged 18 to 40 interact, grow and maintain good health,' he said. Ahmad said the fund would be managed by a joint committee comprising youth leaders and representatives from three local NGOs based in Petagas, Tanjung Aru and Tanjung Keramat. These NGOs will work alongside appointed youth and women's wing leaders from the three state constituencies to coordinate programmes that meet the needs of young constituents. 'One of the NGOs will chair the main committee, but all three will collaborate to design impactful activities. The goal is collective, community-driven planning,' he said. He added that the official presentation of funds is expected to take place within the next two to three weeks, led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. 'I've made it my mission to ensure that any young person from Petagas, Tanjung Aru or Tanjung Keramat who applies for a scholarship will get the support they need. I've taken many of these applications personally to the State Government. 'So far, only a few have been rejected, usually due to their household income exceeding RM12,000 or RM13,000 per month. 'We are not doing this for politics alone. This is about building a generation of Sabahans who are healthy, well-educated, and ready to lead,' he said, stressing that education remains a key pillar of his youth development strategy. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

RM35.4 million worth of frozen food seized in massive operation across Sabah
Abdul Rani (left) explains the details of 'Ops Taring Chiller' during a press conference at the Sabah Brigade PGA headquarters in Kinarut. PAPAR (July 16): The Sabah Brigade General Operations Force (GOF seized various types of frozen food worth over RM35.4 million during a large-scale operation conducted simultaneously across 10 districts in Sabah on Tuesday. Sabah Brigade GOF Commander Datuk Abdul Rani Alias said the 9am to 8pm operation — codenamed 'Ops Taring Chiller' — also led to the arrest of 29 individuals during raids on several storage warehouses and major distribution centres suspected of operating without valid permits and violating multiple food safety and management regulations. The operation involved the Sabah Veterinary Services Department, the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) and the Sabah Agriculture Department. 'A total of 29 individuals, including seven women aged between 20 and 60, were detained during the raids at 15 premises across Kota Kinabalu, Penampang, Papar, Sandakan, Tawau, Kunak, Semporna, Lahad Datu, Tenom and Keningau,' Abdul Rani said at a press conference held at the Sabah Brigade PGA headquarters in Kinarut on Wednesday. Various frozen food products including chicken, meat, seafood, french fries and meatballs were seized, along with logistics equipment such as cold storage rooms, industrial refrigerators, meat-cutting machines and refrigerated lorries. The total value of the seized items was estimated at RM35,452,000, with Kota Kinabalu accounting for the largest seizure — more than RM12 million. Among the offences detected were operating without a valid business licence and violations of several laws, including Section 15(1) of the Animal Welfare Enactment 2015, the Food Act 1983, Sections 102 and 103 of the Local Government Act 1976, the Trade Licensing Ordinance 1948, Regulation 10(1) of the Supply Control Regulations 1974, and Section 21 of the Supply Control Act 1961. Further inspections revealed that most of the seized frozen products were locally sourced but had been repackaged without proper labels — a tactic believed to be used to evade detection by the authorities. Abdul Rani emphasized that the operation focused on storage warehouses and distribution centres rather than retail outlets or sales stores. 'Intelligence and surveillance were conducted for two to three weeks before the raids commenced. We moved in as the premises began operations early in the morning,' he said, noting that most of those arrested were warehouse workers and premises owners. He added that similar operations will be conducted to curb activities that breach food safety standards and misuse distribution permits. 'The main objective of this operation is to protect consumer rights, ensure a safe and quality food supply, and eliminate fraud within the national food supply chain,' Abdul Rani stressed.
