Sahabat baik ke akhir hayat
KAMPAR: Sehidup semati. Itulah ungkapan tepat bagi menggambarkan keakraban dua mangsa lemas dalam kejadian jambatan gantung runtuh di Sekolah Kebangsaan Kuala Dipang, Isnin lalu, dan mereka seolah-olah memilih untuk mati bersama.
Kes saman bapa Nurin dibicarakan di mahkamah tinggi
KUALA LUMPUR: Kes saman kecuaian yang difailkan oleh Jazimin Abdul Jalil, bapa kepada Nurin Jazlin kanak-kanak yang diculik dan dibunuh dua tahun lalu, berhubung penyebaran gambar bedah siasat anaknya melalui Internet, mesti ditentukan menerusi perbicaraan penuh, Mahkamah Tinggi memutuskan hari ini.
Pesuruhjaya Kehakiman, Datin Zabariah Mohd Yusof menolak permohonan Jazimin untuk penghakiman ringkas mengikut Aturan 14A Kaedah-kaedah Mahkamah Tinggi 1980.Zabariah membuat keputusan itu dalam kamar selepas selesai mendengar hujah daripada peguam Jazimin, Akbardin Abdul Kader, dan Peguam Kanan Persekutuan Noorin Badaruddin.
Beliau menerima hujah Noorin yang menyatakan kes itu tidak sesuai untuk
diberi penghakiman terus.Jazimin memohon penghakiman terus dengan alasan pihak polis telah mengaku dalam pernyataan pembelaan bahawa pihaknya membawa keluar gambar bedah siasat itu.
Mahkamah menetapkan 17 Disember ini untuk pengurusan kes berhubung permohonan itu termasuk permohonan pihak polis untuk membatalkan saman berkenaan.
Akbardin memberitahu pemberita beliau akan memanggil tiga atau empat saksi
daripada ahli keluarga dan saudara Nurin untuk memberi keterangan.
Pada 21 Ogos 2008, Jazimin pekerja di syarikat keselamatan, menyaman Ketua
Polis Negara, Ketua Polis Selangor, Ketua Polis Daerah Petaling Jaya dan
Kerajaan Malaysia kerana didakwa cuai menyebabkan gambar itu tersebar di
Internet.
Dalam pernyataan tuntutannya, Jazimin berkata penyebaran gambar bedah siasat itu memalukan keluarganya dan mengganggu emosi mereka.
Dalam saman kecuaian itu, Jazimin tidak menyatakan jumlah ganti rugi tetapi
memohon ganti rugi am, ganti rugi teladan, ganti rugi melampau, faedah terhadap ganti rugi am, kos dan relif lain yang difikirkan wajar oleh mahkamah.
Nurin, 8 tahun, ditemui mati selepas 27 hari dilaporkan hilang pada
20 Ogos 2007, ketika keluar bersendirian ke pasar malam berhampiran rumahnya di Seksyen 1, Wangsa Maju.Mayat pelajar tahun dua Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Desa Setapak itu ditemui dalam sebuah beg pakaian sukan yang diletakkan di hadapan premis perniagaan di Petaling Jaya dan hasil bedah siasat mendapati Nurin juga didera secara seksual.-Bernama

Teen pregnant four times since 2007
A 14-YEAR-OLD girl from Tanjung Dawai in Sungai Petani, Kedah, admitted that she has been pregnant four times between 2007 and now, Harian Metro reported.
The teenager, who is three months pregnant now, had two miscarriages when she was 12 and 13 and underwent an abortion in April this year.She first became pregnant at 12 after she was raped in the bushes by a man who offered her a lift home after school, and became pregnant again the following year after being victimised by another man.
The girl dropped out of school and started work last year to ease the financial burden of her mother, who does not have a permanent job. Her father is a fisherman with no fixed income.To forget her problems, she mixed with other school dropouts in the area and started to take drugs such as syabu.She became pregnant for the third time after having sex with a youth and aborted the one-month-old foetus in April.
The teenager told her story at a meeting with enforcement officers from the Kuala Muda district religious office and Kedah Social Ills Unit (Unggas) volunteers at a food stall on Tuesday.Unggas supervisor Kamaruddin Kassim said the unit would monitor the progress of the teenager and assist her because she was victimised and had no one to turn to.
Kosmo! highlighted a report about Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno’s husband Mohamad Affendi Amir breaking his silence and expressing concern over the fact that his wife might also be jailed.Mohammad Affendi, who works in an IT firm in Singapore, e-mailed Kosmo! saying that Kartika should just be caned and should not have to spend even a day in prison.
He said Kartika had settled the RM5,000 fine after she was caught drinking alcohol, and was prepared to face six strokes of the rotan.A Pahang Syariah Judiciary Department spokesperson said it had yet to determine the date of the caning.
According to procedures, Kartika, who is a mother of two, would have to be detained for a week at Kajang Prison for the enforcement of the caning.

PMR student tries to delay test by setting fire to school
JOHOR BARU: The first day of PMR turned fiery for SMK Johor Jaya 2 here as one of the examination hall went up in smoke.
A student was believed to have torched the examination hall in a desperate attempt to delay the PMR. This was the second time a fire happened in the school right before the PMR. The first incident happened two years ago.
The 6am fire yesterday completely destroyed a classroom which was converted into an examination hall and located on the ground floor of a three-storey building. However, the PMR was not disrupted as the school’s administration relocated the affected 75 students to another classroom.
It is learnt that the school authorities lodged a police report alleging arson as a teacher was believed to have seen a person running away from the scene. Johor Deputy Education Depart-ment director Markom Giran, who visited the scene, said a student was believed to be responsible for the fire.
“We think diesel was used to start the fire,” he said, adding that it extinguished at around 6.25am.“Students taking the PMR were immediately relocated to another classroom initially prepared as an A(H1N1) quarantine area,” Markom said, adding that a total of 365 students are sitting for the PMR at the school.He commended the school authorities for efficiently moving the students to another location without any disruption to the examination.
Markom added that a similar incident had occurred in the same school about two years ago during the PMR.“Last time, a school workshop was torched. We believe this was the work of students who deliberately tried to stall the examination because they were not prepared,” he said.Markom added that the culprit was never found in the previous arson incident.He said about RM20,000 would be needed to repair and repaint the damaged areas.

Cinta Dato' Siti Nurhaliza
Mereka meragui,
Wujudnya cinta yang sejati,
Tidak hati ini,
Semenjak dari mula,
Ku yakin ada cinta
Cintalah yang memungkinkan segalanya........
Itu antara bait-bait lagu single terbaru dendangan Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza yang bertajuk “Ku Percaya Pada Cinta”. Lagu yang dimuatkan dalam album kerohanian pertamanya iaitu ‘Tahajjud Cinta’ sudah pun mula dimainkan di corong-corong radio. Lagu ciptaan Audi Mok dan liriknya ditulis oleh Habsah Hassan itu dipilih sebagai single pertama kerana menurut Siti ia lebih berentak pop dan dalam masa yang sama masih menepati mesej yang ingin disampaikan.

Fugitive ‘Malay prophet’ held, to spend Raya in prison
SHAH ALAM: A fugitive deviationist sect leader who proclaimed himself as Rasul Melayu (Malay prophet) will spend Hari Raya Aidilfitri behind bars.
The Syariah High Court here has ordered Abdul Kahar Ahmad, 59, to be held at the Sungai Buloh prison pending the hearing of his case on Oct 7.
Judge Abu Zaky Mohammad denied bail after syariah chief prosecutor Abdul Shukor Abd Hamid told him that Abdul Kahar had been evading the law since 2006.
Abdul Kahar was arrested by a team of Selangor Religious Department enforcement officers in Sungai Long, Kajang at 9.45am yesterday.
Over the past three years, he had allegedly preached the deviationist Pengajaran Kahar Ahmad while playing hide-and-seek with the law.
Syariah judge Abu Zaky Mohammad gave the order after allowing Selangor syariah chief prosecutor Abdul Shukor Abd Hamid’s application against Abdul Kahar who faces five charges under the Selangor Syariah Criminal Enactment.
The judge also fixed Sept 24 for mention to extend Abdul Kahar’s detention until the hearing.
Earlier, Abdul Kahar told the court that he had gone into hiding as he had received death threats.
He urged the court to grant him bail to enable him to celebrate Aidilfitri with his family.
Abdul Kahar faced charges of proclaiming himself as a prophet for the Malays, conducting deviationist teachings, violating the Selangor Mufi’s order, blasphemy and spreading false belief.
He was accused of committing the offences at No: 44, Jalan Bunga Ros, Kampung Kemensah in Hulu Klang between May 19 and June 23, 2005. — Bernama

Kartika’s caning to depend on decision of Syariah Court Appeals panel
KUANTAN: The Pahang Islamic Religious Department (Jaip) is prepared to proceed with the caning of part-time model Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, 32, after Hari Raya Aidil-fitri.
JAIP Director Datuk Abdul Manan Abdul Rahman said the implementation of the punishment, however, would depend on the review by the Kuantan Syariah High Court Appeals Panel which was expected to be concluded after Raya.
He said the decision on the review would be announced by the Pahang Syaria Chief Judge Datuk Abdul Hamid Abdul Rahman.
On July 20, Kartika Sari Dewi was fined RM5,000 and ordered to receive six strokes of the cane by the Syariah High Court here after pleading guilty to consuming alcohol at a hotel at 11.40pm on July 11, 2008.
However, on Aug 24, the sentence had to be postponed out of respect for the month of Ramadan and the decision was criticised by various quarters.
“Society does not understand the difference between the syaria caning which aims to educate the offender, and civil caning which is most painful to the offender, ” he told reporters after a function here yesterday. — Bernama
