| DAP like small child afraid of ghosts, says Nik Aziz Posted: 26 Sep 2011 06:54 AM PDT KOTA BARU: Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat has likened the DAP's response to the hudud issue as "a small child who is scared of ghosts." The PAS spiritual leader contended that hudud, which was to be implemented in Kelantan, was fairer and "did not involve the non-Muslim community." As such, DAP had no reason to oppose it, he said. "Why does the DAP want to leave (the opposition pact)? Hudud is for the Muslims. "So, what is DAP's connection with the Muslims? Some people are scared of hudud like they're scared of ghosts," he told reporters at the Mentri Besar's residence. Nik Aziz had said the hudud law would be implemented in Kelantan's syariah courts despite opposition from DAP. DAP leaders had reportedly said that they would resign en bloc if hudud implementation was incorporated into the common policy framework of the opposition grouping. Related Stories: |
| Coroner: No foul play in Ahmad Sarbaini's death (Updated) Posted: 26 Sep 2011 06:07 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor Customs assistant director Ahmad Sarbaini Mohamed's death has been ruled as accidental and "misadventure". Coroner Aizatul Akmal Maharani delivered the verdict Monday after 34 witnesses had given their testimonies. He ruled out foul play and third party involvement. Aizatul Akmal said Ahmad Sarbaini, who was at the MACC office on April 1,2 and 4, knew the location of the door, access system and the existence of the pantry on the third floor. He was of the view that the deceased did not use the stairs or lift as he would have been stopped by MACC guards and seeing that he was alone in the witness room, the only way out was through the pantry window. "I visited the scene and agree that when we stand near the pantry window, the roof below on the left appears close. "I believe he experienced an optical illusion at the time that he could jump onto the roof and escape from the MACC office to avoid being locked up in the 'hell on earth'," said Aizatul Akmal. He said Ahmad Sarbaini, who died between 10 am and 10.30 am, sustained severe head injuries as a result of falling from the third floor of the MACC building and not from anywhere else. Among those who had testified in the inquest included Ahmad Sarbaini's wife Maziah Manap, who said that her husband "would have never committed suicide". Ahmad Sarbaini, 56, who was attached to the Port Klang Customs office, was found dead at the badminton court on the first floor of the MACC building at Jalan Cochrane on April 6. He was reported to have gone to the commission's office to meet the investigation officer assigned to corruption cases involving 62 customs officers. More in The Star Tuesday |
| We'll help you become professional riders, T'ganu tells Mat Rempits Posted: 26 Sep 2011 05:47 AM PDT KUALA TERENGGANU: Terengganu is tempting the Mat Rempit with offers of becoming professional riders. "They should display their skills at the racing circuit and not public roads. "The state government is prepared to assist those interested in motorcycle racing as there are benefits in professional racing, rather than racing (recklessly) on public roads," Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said told reporters. The problem of illegal racing has worsened in the state. Nevertheless, the state government has taken a prudent approach by educating and providing participants of the illegal races positive support, added Ahmad. |
