Police's Special Branch holds anti-terrorism exhibition
BATU KAWAN: The police have brought an anti-terrorism exhibition to the National Unity Week at the Batu Kawan Stadium grounds, aimed at raising public awareness of the dangers of involvement in terrorist activities. Federal police Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division (E8) staff officer ACP Ridzuan Abdul Aziz said the exhibition is also intended to enhance public understanding of terrorism threats and the importance of community cooperation in countering such activities. "We are bringing the exhibition closer to the public to clearly explain what terrorism and extremism are, so people can understand and avoid involvement in such activities, which not only harm individuals but also the nation," he told Bernama at the event. He said that while the exhibition is rarely held, it was featured at the Batu Kawan SMP this time to showcase various items to the public, including homemade bombs made by terrorist groups, terrorism-related books and terrorist passports. The Unity Week, held at Batu Kawan Stadium, Penang, will run from July 17 to 20 and feature 35 engaging activities for visitors. Among the highlights of the exhibition, Ridzuan said, are displays of seized items used in terrorist activities, visual presentations of high-profile arrest operations and interactive sessions with E8 officers who explain the processes of detecting and monitoring extremist elements. Through the exhibition, police aim to educate the public on the early signs of involvement in terrorism, while stressing the vital role of public awareness in curbing the spread of extremism and radical ideologies. "Previously, some Malaysians were influenced by foreign terrorist groups, such as those operating in Syria. "However, in recent times, we have observed a shift towards domestic terrorism. "That is why we are presenting this exhibition, to prevent, especially young people, from falling prey to terrorist groups, as they are highly exposed to such content through social media. "These groups actively recruit through platforms like Telegram," he said. Ridzuan described the exhibition as part of a 'prevention through education' approach, targeting all segments of society, particularly youth and students. "We cannot rely on enforcement alone. "The public must be educated on how radical ideologies operate and how they recruit victims, particularly through social media platforms. "We want to make it clear that terrorism is a real and present threat, not merely a narrative meant to ignite fear," he said. – Bernama

Prevention through education is key,' Ridzuan added. The exhibition also features high-profile arrest operations and insights into counter-terrorism efforts.

Extra jail for also damaging sis' car
Published on: Saturday, July 12, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jul 12, 2025 By: Jo Ann Mool Text Size: The charge under Section 427 of the Penal Code carries a punishment of one to five years' imprisonment, a fine, or both, on conviction. Kota Kinabalu: An unemployed man, who was recently jailed 12 months for assaulting his elder sister, was on Friday sentenced to another 14 months in jail and fined RM2,000, or two months jail by the Magistrate's Court for smashing the windscreen of his sister's car. Ridzuan Roslan, 29, pleaded guilty before Magistrate Dzul Elmy Yunus to committing mischief by smashing a helmet onto the front windscreen of a car belonging to his sister, Normala Roslan, 48, which caused RM550 in damages. The incident took place on April 27, this year, at 1pm, at the parking area of Cyber City Apartment in Penampang. The charge under Section 427 of the Penal Code carries a punishment of one to five years' imprisonment, a fine, or both, on conviction. The prosecution informed the court that a dispute between the siblings began when Normala told Ridzuan, her younger brother, to stop shouting inside the house. Ridzuan reacted aggressively by punching the victim on the right side of her head, choking her, and slamming her left arm against a metal grille door, said the prosecution, adding that the victim sustained bruises and injuries as a result of the attack. Ridzuan then ran outside to smash her red Proton Saga using a blue helmet, shattering its front windscreen. Dzul ordered Ridzuan to serve the sentence from the date of his arrest. On July 1, Ridzuan was sentenced to 12 months in jail by a Magistrate Court for assaulting Normala. Meanwhile, a 21-year-old woman was fined RM100 or three days in jail for having RM6,599 in her bank account that she could not explain. Noor Cahaya Yusuf pleaded guilty to having the money, dishonestly obtained from the account owner, Mohd Khairil Ikhwan Abdul Rahman, for which she failed to provide a reasonable explanation as to how she had obtained the money on March 31, 2024, here. She was charged under Section 22A(1) of the Minor Offences Ordinance (Chapter 80) of Sabah, which provides for a fine not exceeding RM100, a jail term of up to three months, or both. According to the prosecution, the victim had seen an advertisement for gold rings on Telegram and agreed to purchase two pieces. He made six separate transfers totalling RM6,599 into a Bank Simpanan Nasional account under Noor Cahaya's name for the purchase and delivery. However, the jewellery was never delivered, and he was later asked to make additional payments. Feeling cheated, he lodged a police report. Inspectors Mohamad Hamidi Mohamad Hamzah and Yusdi Basri prosecuted. * 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?
