| IGP wants sex bloggers to surrender to police (updated) Posted: KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar has asked controversial bloggers Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee to surrender to the police here. Khalid explained that in addition to the investigation carried out by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, the pair were also investigated by police under Section 298 of the Penal Code for uttering words with deliberate intent to hurt religious sentiments. "That is a non-seizable case, which means we cannot arrest them without a warrant. "We have opened a new investigation paper against the two today under Section 298(a) of the Penal Code for insulting a religion, in which case we do not need a warrant to arrest them," he said. He advised the couple to surrender to police to have their statements recorded. Later, Tan and Lee told The Star that they would only turn themselves in if they were "summoned personally" by the police. "If we're summoned personally by the KL HQ (and not through the media), we will go. So far, this hasn't happened," they said in an SMS message around 6pm Tuesday. Last Thursday, the duo uploaded a picture on their Facebook page, depicting them eating bak kut teh (a pork dish), describing it as fragrant, delicious and appetising with a "Selamat Berbuka Puasa" (breaking of fast for Muslims) greeting. |
| Come and get us, sex bloggers tell cops Posted: PETALING JAYA: Controversial sex bloggers Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee are not turning themselves in to the police yet. They said they would only do so if "summoned personally" by the police. "If we're summoned personally by KL HQ (and not through the media), we will go. So far this hasn't happened," they messaged at around 6pm Tuesday. In an SMS exchange with The Star, they said they would not head over to Kuala Lumpur police headquarters solely based on reports in the media. Last Thursday, they uploaded a picture on their Facebook page, depicting them eating bak kut teh and describing it as fragrant, delicious and appetising, with a Selamat Berbuka Puasa greeting. They could be prosecuted for displaying offensive pictures and words under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act. |
| Corpse and drug-processing chemicals found in rented house Posted: NIBONG TEBAL: The body of man was found together with drug processing chemicals in a double-storey rented house in Taman Jentayu Indah here Tuesday, said a police spokesman. He said that a neighbour had alerted the police after detecting a foul stench coming from the house. Based on the chemicals found, the house was believed to have been used as a drug processing lab, said the spokesman. "The body was dry and discoloured when we found it at 3 pm today and there were no identification documents," he told reporters, adding that police had been in touch with the house owner. "According to the landlord, the man was known as Cheah Poh Iye, 44, and had rented the house since March. He claimed that he last saw Cheah two weeks ago," he said. The dead man was said to have been married but his wife lived elsewhere, he added. A Honda car, usually parked in the house porch, was also missing, he said. Meanwhile, Seberang Perai South police chief Supt Shafien Mamat confirmed the discovery when contacted here. "For now we have classified it as a case of sudden death pending the post mortem report," he said. - Bernama |
