| Three students held over m-cycle thefts Posted: IPOH: Police have arrested three students at Kampung Seri Kinta here for motorcycle thefts. According to Ipoh OCPD Asst Comm Sum Chang Keong, police acted on a tip-off and ambushed the trio at a house in the village at about 1pm on Tuesday. "During the ambush, we arrested two 16-year-olds and a 17-year-old. "Two motorcycle engines, two motorcycle frames, tools used to steal motorcycles and dismantled motorcycle parts were recovered," he said. "We are trying to determine the scope of the trio's activities and their modus operandi," he said during a press conference here yesterday. On a separate case, ACP Sum said police had solved a car theft reported on Aug 8 with the arrest of two men on Tuesday. "A police MPV patrolling Taman Puncak Jelapang Maju noticed two men in a silver Honda Civic behaving suspiciously at about 5pm. "When the officers approached the men, they sped off but lost control of the car and crashed about 1.5km away. "One of the men was arrested on the spot while another was caught an hour later at Taman Rishah," said ACP Sum, adding that police found two parang, a screwdriver, tape, masks, keys and a bag in the car. The two men are now under remand. The owner of the Honda Civic, construction worker Wong Loo Kheong, 48, was present to retrieve his vehicle and thanked the police for solving the case. |
| Sundry shop owner gets rude awakening Posted: IPOH: A sundry shop owner got the shock of her life when she woke up and found a masked man brandishing a parang at her in her Cameron Highlands shophouse. The 23-year-old woman had woken up at 4pm on Wednesday when she heard a loud noise and went out to investigate. "When she saw the man, she screamed but was forced to keep quiet by the robber, who later rounded up her three family members into a room," Cameron Highlands OCPD Deputy Supt Wan Mohd Zahari Wan Busu said. "The man and his three accomplices then ransacked the place before fleeing in the victim's van," he said.

| Former Pulau Tikus rep vents displeasure via Facebook Posted: GEORGE TOWN: Former Pulau Tikus assemblyman Koay Teng Hai is venting his displeasure online after he was dropped as the director of Penang International Halal Hub. The controversial Koay, who is from DAP, said in his Facebook posting that he tendered his resignation after he was ordered to do so by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who is the party secretary-general. "I will release more inside information via Facebook," said Koay, who on Tuesday posted a Chinese proverb ri jiu wei bi sheng qing, dan ri jiu yi ding jian ren xin (time might not forge a closer relationship but it definitely shows the true colours of a person). Koay told Chinese daily Kwong Wah Yit Poh the following day that he has more information to reveal on Facebook, just like "new developments in a soap opera". He said the proverb referred to Lim, but did not elaborate. Koay added that he was still director of Penang Global Tourism Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of the Penang Development Corporation. However, Koay texted that he has "no comments" when contacted by The Star. On Jan 11, Koay was suspended for six months by DAP, which was later reduced to one month, for not attending a crucial meeting in the state assembly on Nov 1, 2012, meant to pass the Penang Constitutional Enactment (Amendment) Bill 2012. The Bill was intended to prevent party-hopping among Penang state assemblymen. Three days into his suspension, Koay removed all DAP logos from his service centre and announced that he would serve his constituents as an "independent" representative. Koay's wife's Facebook posting during that period also became a talking point after she stated that her husband was in that situation as he did not pray to the tokong (deity). Nanyang Siang Pau and China Press reported that Lee Su Li posted in Chinese: "Teng Hai, Teng Hai! You pray in almost all the temples in Penang but you forget to pray to 'The One'". |
