Teacher accused of sexual abuse
A female primary school teacher allegedly committed sexual acts on an underage boy in 2019. The boy, who was one of her students, was between 13 and 14 years old at the time. She faces four charges in total, and court documents did not disclose if she was still his teacher when she allegedly committed the offences. The number of alleged victims in this case cannot be ascertained for now, as the names of all parties linked to it have been redacted from court documents. The 34-year-old Singaporean woman cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the identity of the boy or boys. She was charged yesterday with one count each of performing a sexual act on a minor and of harassment. The woman is also accused of sexually grooming a minor and performing an indecent act on an underage boy. The court heard that she is accused of meeting the minor, who was then between 13 and 14 years old, at a multi-storey carpark on at least two occasions to allegedly perform an undisclosed indecent act on the latter in 2019. Court documents stated that between Feb 20 and Oct 8 that year, she allegedly committed an indecent act on a 13-year-old boy inside a car by hugging and kissing him. She is also accused of sitting on his lap and getting physical with him. The teacher is also accused of harassment when she allegedly stalked the male victim by sending him at least 18 unwanted e-mails despite being told to stop communicating with him. The Straits Times contacted the Ministry of Education to find out her current employment status. The woman's case has been adjourned to August. If convicted of performing a sexual act on an underage boy, an offender can be jailed for up to 10 years and fined. And for performing an indecent act on a minor, a first-time offender can be jailed for up to five years and fined up to SGD$10,000 (RM33,000). A repeat offender can be jailed for up to seven years and fined up to SGD$20,000 (RM66,000). — The Straits Times/ANN

Environmental Quality Order 2025 enforcement begins today
KUALA LUMPUR: The Environmental Quality (Delegation of Powers to Government Departments, Local Authorities and Corporations) Order 2025 is now in force after being gazetted yesterday. The Department of Environment (DOE) confirmed the enforcement today, marking a significant step in streamlining environmental protection efforts. DOE director-general Datuk Wan Abdul Latiff Wan Jaffar explained that delegating powers to multiple agencies will enhance efficiency in addressing environmental violations. He cited the success of recent operations, stating, 'The effectiveness of this approach can be seen in the implementation of two series of Op Hazard, where with the cooperation of various departments and agencies, we managed to seize e-waste worth over RM66 million.' The new order consolidates six previous regulations to simplify enforcement and accelerate on-ground actions. Agencies granted authority under the order include the Royal Malaysia Police, Malaysian Armed Forces, Health Ministry, Marine Department, Fisheries Department, Fire and Rescue Department, and selected local authorities and corporations. To ensure smooth implementation, guidelines and specialised training will be provided to all involved agencies. This will clarify their responsibilities and jurisdictional limits, preventing overlaps or gaps in enforcement. - Bernama
