| Judge acquits two murder accused Posted: GEORGE TOWN: Two murder accused shed tears of joy when the High Court here freed them. Security guard Mohd Fazli Abdul Rahman, 33, and cyber cafe worker Muhamad Hafis Md Yusoff, 28, were acquitted and discharged at the end of the prosecution's case. Justice Zamani Abdul Rahim ruled that the prosecution had failed to prove a prima facie case. He said two key witnesses were not credible as their statements to the police contradicted their testimonies in court. Mohd Fazli and Muhamad Hafis were jointly charged with murdering unemployed U. Yuganthan, who was then 21. They were alleged to have committed the offence in Lorong Lima Kongsi 8, Taman Lima Kongsi in Sungai Bakap, south Seberang Prai, at about 1am on Feb 25, 2011. Outside the court, Mohd Fazli's and Muhamad Hafis' family members cried as they rushed to hug them. Mohd Fazli was represented by counsel V. Parthipan while Muhamad Hafis was represented by counsel R. Dev Chander. DPP Nur Ashikin Mokhtar prosecuted the case. |
| Posted: Hot FM radio presenter Fara Fauzana (pic) was said to have insured her voice recently, reported Berita Harian. Fara, who spends her daily routine talking on the radio and TV, said she was willing to insure her voice because she was concerned that her source of income might be affected due to health issues. "Some may think that it's strange but I see it as a necessity because my voice is important as a presenter. This is also to secure my future. "The decision was made after I had problems with my voice and could not be on air even though I was in good health," she added. Fara's secret to maintaining the quality of her voice is by consuming lots of mineral water. The 33-year-old radio presenter had also said that she has not touched carbonated drinks since she was 17. > Kosmo! reported that actress Noniswara Baharudin has officially divorced for the second time from her husband Datuk Rosman Ridzwan. Noniswara was requested to pay RM10 as a condition for her divorce in the Syariah Court on Thursday. The 44-year-old dramatist had to file for a divorce after being ignored by her husband for the last eight months. Noniswara claimed she was relieved with the decision. "For eight months, he has not been present in my life and I don't see how it will make any difference now," she said. Noniswara has three children from her first marriage while Rosman, a widower, has five children from his previous marriage. The couple tied the knot on July 31, 2009, but their marriage had been on the rocks since rumours surfaced about Rosman having an extramarital affair with another actress.

| Kuala Besut by-election: More opposition big guns to arrive to help PAS campaign Posted: BESUT: The election temperature in Kuala Besut is expected to increase in the next few days when more opposition big guns arrive to help PAS campaign for the by-election. As the current meeting of Parliament is over, many of the opposition leaders who are MPs are expected to campaign in Kuala Besut in the next few days. PAS spiritual adviser Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, speaking at a ceramah late Thursday night, set the tone for what is to come from the Opposition's campaign when he accused Umno of being evil and rejecting Islam. This is despite the existing gentlemen agreement between PAS and Barisan Nasional to conduct a clean and civil campaign in respect of the fasting month. The former Kelantan Mentri Besar said that throughout the 23 years that he was in office, he did not believe in building mosques using the state government's money as he wanted the people to contribute. "Umno keep asking us to build mosques, but they themselves do not pray. They are only interested in getting the contract to build the mosques. Getting the contract is enough for them," he said, drawing laughter from the ceramah crowd in Kampung Beris Pak Abu. At the same event, former Air Force Leftenan Kolonel Mohd Nazali Mokhtar claimed that the Government had failed to look after the welfare of the serving armed forces personnel and those who had left the service. He said that so bad was the treatment given to ex-servicemen that many were not able to make a decent living. In comparison, he claimed that the ex-servicemen in Bangladesh were well treated by their government. He also questioned why the Government did not provide land for agriculture and other economic activities to ex-servicemen. Related story:Kedah Barisan sending an A-Team |
