| Kong: AES to continue operating especially during CNY Posted: 30 Jan 2013 06:13 AM PST KUALA LUMPUR: All the 14 Automated Enforcement System (AES) cameras would continue operating as usual, especially during the Chinese New Year period, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha. He said the cameras would support the traffic enforcement programmes by agencies such as the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and the police. "Since the AES programme was launched, there has been a change in the attitude of drivers who travel through the AES installation zones, especially in the accident-prone roads. "This shows that the AES has been effective in saving the lives of motorists," he said in a statement Wednesday. Kong said around 1,500 JPJ officers would be deployed at various places while traffic safety campaigns would be held by the Road Safety Department (JKJR) throughout the festive period. "JPJ officers will also go undercover and act as bus passengers to enforce the traffic regulations against bus operators. "They will also carry out inspections at bus depots and terminals and at accident hotspots during the festive period," he added. Related Stories: |
| Najib wants forensic report on security guard’s death submitted to Cabinet Posted: 30 Jan 2013 06:05 AM PST KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has requested that the forensic report on the death of security guard C. Sugumaran be submitted to the Cabinet. He has directed Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai to do this after MIC president Datuk Seri G Palanivel raised the issue in Cabinet. The party's strategic director S. Vell Paari said a second post-mortem will be conducted on the security guard who died after allegedly being beaten by police and the public after he ran amok in Taman Sri Nanding, Hulu Langat last Wednesday. The first post-mortem showed he had died of a heart attack. Vell Paari said MIC Youth would hold discussions with PKR leaders who have been assisting the family to identify an independent pathologist to undertake the second post-mortem. "We want to consult them as we don't want them to accuse us of hiding anything," he said Wednesday. In Putrajaya, a delegation led by MIC Youth Information chief S. Subramaniam handed over a memorandum to the Home Ministry requesting that a special commission be set up to investigate Sugumaran's death. Related Stories: |
| Man, daughters jailed for trafficking, abusing maid Posted: 30 Jan 2013 05:39 AM PST KUALA LUMPUR: A salesman and his two daughters were found guilty by the Sessions Court for trafficking in a Cambodian housemaid, about two years ago here Wednesday. Yeow Kim Bok, 54, and student Yeow Sheh Yan, 25, were sentenced to three years' jail each, while single mother of two, Yeow Sheh Li, 33, received a one- year imprisonment. Judge Ahmad Zamzani Mohd Zain ruled that the defence had failed to dent the prosecution's case. The trio committed the offence on Neak Ban, 25, at a house in Taman Sri Sinar Segambut, Sentul here at 1.30pm on Aug 3, 2011. The judge further sentenced Yeow to six months' jail and fined him RM1,000 for voluntarily causing hurt to Neak by punching her and ramming the foreigner's face against a wall at the house at 9am on the same day. He also meted out the same punishment to Sheh Yan for voluntarily causing hurt to Neak by punching, slapping and kicking her back at the house between 6pm on Aug 2 and 9am on Aug 3, that year. Sheh Yan was sentenced to another three months' jail and fined RM3,000 for obstructing Insp M. Sathiyaseelan from carrying out his duties by kicking his leg at the same place at 1.30pm on Aug 3, 2011. Meanwhile, Mona Ooi Jia Yi, 22, a student, was sentenced to three months jail for obstructing Lance Corporal Noor Diana Nasaruddin from handcuffing Sheh Yan at the same place and time. Judge Ahmad Zamzani ordered the jail terms on Yeow and Sheh Yan to run concurrently, effective Wednesday. However, the court allowed the application by counsel Saranjeet Kaur Sidhu, who was representing the four, for a stay of execution of their sentences, pending an appeal to the High Court. - Bernama |
