| Dog trainer in video arrested over clip showing her celebrating Raya with canines Posted: PETALING JAYA: Maznah Mohd Yusof, the woman who was featured in a controversial video celebrating Hari Raya with her dogs, has been arrested. CID Director Comm Datuk Hadi Ho Abdullah said the 38-year-old dog trainer, who also goes by the name Chetz Togom, was picked up from her house in Rawang yesterday and is now being held for questioning at the Bukit Aman police station. He said a report was lodged against Maznah in Segamat, Johor, on Tuesday and another at the Dang Wangi police station yesterday. "The case is being investigated under Section 298 of the Penal Code for insulting a religion, and the Sedition Act. We will liaise with Johor police on the investigation," he said. When contacted, Maznah said she was being detained at the Bukit Aman police station and was waiting for her lawyer. "The police say they can detain me for 24 hours. The officers are nice, though," she said. In her Facebook account, Maznah, who is an engineer, stated that the video was shot in 2010 and had nothing to do with insulting Islam. She has been at the centre of a social media storm after a video of her celebrating Hari Raya with her dogs three years ago was uploaded to YouTube on Monday. The 104-second clip, titled "Video Menghina Islam 1 Hari di Hari Raya" shows Maznah walking near a mosque with three dogs with the Takbir Raya (a special takbir recited on the first day of Hari Raya) playing in the background. She is also seen washing their paws and feeding them cookies. |
| Mechanic gets more jail time for abusing three-year-old stepson Posted: SHAH ALAM: A mechanic who was convicted for abusing his three-year-old stepson last September, got more time in jail by High Court on Thursday. Judge Datuk Nurchaya Arshad raised the sentence to two-and-a-half years on T.Rajasegaran, 32, after allowing the prosecution's appeal. Nurcahaya also imposed two years of good behavior bond with RM5,000 as security deposit. On Jan 15, Rajasegaran was sentenced to a year in jail by the Magistrate's Court in Klang after he pleaded guilty of abusing his three-year-old-son with a rice ladle and muruku mould at a house in Kapar, at about 12.30pm, in September last year. The charge was made under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 which provides for a maximum jail sentence of 10 years or fine up to RM20,000 or both upon conviction. In the judgement, Nurcahaya said the jail sentence of two-and-a-half years was imposed after taking into account the public interest on this abuse case. "In this case, the respondent not only slapped and kicked the victim but also picked him up on a sofa until the child fell on the floor," she said. Earlier, the respondent's lawyer, Shahrul Nizam Azwir asked the court to impose a lighter or maintain the one-year jail after Rajasegaran pleaded guilty and regretted the offence. However, it was objected by deputy public prosecutor Mirza Mohamed. Rajasegaran's abuse on the victim received public attention when it was recorded on video lasting eight minutes and 33 seconds and posted on Facebook. – Bernama |
