Restaurant director pays RM210,000 fine for harbouring illegals

http://www.theborneopost.com/2014/07/22/restaurant-director-pays-rm210000-fine-for-harbouring-illegals/
KOTA KINABALU: A director of a seafood restaurant was fined a total of RM210,000, in default, 28 months’ jail by the Immigration Court here yesterday for allowing 28 illegal immigrants to remain in a restaurant.
Deputy registrar of the High Court, Hafizi Abdul Halim, who sat as a judge, imposed the sentence on David Lee Nam Lip, 36, who is the director of Gayang Seafood Restaurant Sdn Bhd, after he pleaded guilty to a charge under Section 55E (1) of the Immigration Act 1959/1963.
The indictment provides for a fine of between RM5,000 and RM30,000 or a maximum jail of 12 months or both for each illegal immigrant, upon conviction.
For each of the charges, the accused, who was represented by counsels Ram Singh and YS Lo, received a RM7,500 fine, in default, one month’s imprisonment for each immigrant.
In pleading for a light sentence, Ram urged the court to impose a minimum fine which is RM5,000 for each of the immigrants aged between 18 and 42 from the Philippines and Indonesia who were without valid travel documents or passes.
He also said the seafood restaurant had been around since 12 years ago.
In reply, Immigration Department prosecuting officer Shaiful Izuat Abd Shani applied for a deterrent sentence to be given to the accused to serve as a lesson and also to deter would-be offenders not to commit a similar offence in the future.
The accused paid the fine.
In a separate case, a restaurant owner received a total of RM45,000 fine, in default, six months’ jail for committing a similar offence.
Noorsaliha Agusalim, 24, was fined RM7,500, in default, six months’ jail after she pleaded guilty in the same court to allowing six illegal immigrants, aged between 11 and 15, to remain in her restaurant at Sulaman Central, Jalan Sepanggar in Menggatal on April 28.
The accused, who was defended by counsel Jahara Patimbang, applied for the payment of the fine be paid in two installments.
However, the court said the payment of fine must be made all at once on the chief registrar’s instruction.
In mitigation, the counsel said her client was still new in this field and she did not understand about workers’ documentations when those immigrants came to her premises to ask for work.
Meanwhile, Ernie Marlina Mohammad, 35, was fined a total of RM15,000, in default, two months’ jail for allowing two illegal immigrants to be in a premises. She was arrested at Karamunsing police station on May 25.
The court ordered all the accused persons’ bail to be refunded.

Harris wins accusation over blue Ics

Published on: Wednesday, July 16, 2014

Kota Kinabalu: Former Chief Minister Tan Sri Harris Salleh won a defamation suit against politician Dr Chong Eng Leong who had claimed that Harris was involved in the issuance of blue ICs to foreigners in Sabah.
High Court Judge Ravinthran Paramaguru on Tuesday awarded Harris RM100,000 in damages. He also ordered Dr Chong to pay RM50,000 in costs to Harris.
It was the second time that Harris has won RM100,000 damages in a defamation suit. A similar award in 1982 against a Sabah politician when he was the Chief Minister was channeled towards enhancing local journalism standards through the setting up of the Berjaya Foundation.
It was also the second court victory for Harris within 48 hours.
On Monday, High Court judge here, Justice Chew Soo Ho, ruled in his favour in a suit brought against him by a businessman that Harris' handing over of Labuan to the Federal Government in 1984 was unlawful.
Harris was awarded RM15,000 in costs against James Albanus.
Harris had sought RM50 million in damages against Dr Chong for allegedly defaming him in a Daily Express report published on July 17, 2012.
He was seeking an injunction to restrain Dr Chong, whether himself or his servants and/or employee or agents, from printing and publishing further statements and/or similar libel on him in any form. Ravinthran held that Dr Chong had failed in all his defences against the libel claims.
In his ruling, Ravinthran said there were two main defamatory grounds and the first was the ground of qualified privilege.
He said there was duty on the press to receive information but it was left to the public authority to investigate the information and not the press as public interest was involved.
"Therefore plaintiff must be given an opportunity to respond É there was no attempt to communicate before publication and in my opinion I find that this is not reasonable. The defendant was not the press and I find that the qualified privilege had failed," he said.
Ravinthran said the second ground was about the issuance of fraudulent ICs where the court considered the witnesses who had given evidence -the defendant himself (Dr Chong), one Haji Ansari, the late Abdul Mutalib Mohd Daud, Hassnar MP Ebrahim and (Daily Express Chief Reporter) Chris Maskilone but only one witness had given alleged direct evidence on Harris' involvement in the issuance of fraudulent Ics.
"Hassnar had admitted serious wrongdoing on his partÉ however I treat his evidence with caution because his relationship with the plaintiff had gone bad over the years."
Harris was represented by counsel Sonny Durai and Chin Yuen Fong and Dr Chong by counsel Marina Tiu.
Tiu said they would file an appeal against the decision to the Court of Appeal. During the judgment, only Dr Chong was present in court.

218. How to declare war when top "terrorist" is CM?

Govt asked to declare war on armed intruders

KOTA KINABALU: Several leaders in Sabah have called on the government to declare war against those responsible for the death of marine police corporal, Rajah Jamuan, during an ambush by a group of armed men at Mabul Water Bungalows Resort in Pulau Mabul, Semporna on Saturday night.
His colleague constable, Zakiah Aliep, 26, was reported as missing and is believed to have been kidnapped by the marauders.
Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) president Datuk Teo Chee Kang, when asked to comment on the latest incident, said that he viewed the attack as a challenge on the Malaysian security forces.
“This is a very serious encroachment into our territory. It is a very serious breach and I urge our enforcement personnel, especially our police force, to declare war against these people. We must put up a very strong front against all intruders and together we must guard our boundary as well as defend our sovereignty,” the Minister of Special Tasks stressed.
“I wish to extend my deepest condolences to the family of the police personnel who sacrificed their lives to defend our country and the safety of the people and their property. I hope the spirit of our security forces, especially the police force, will strengthen by this tragic incident. We must stand together to fight this war against people who encroach into our country,” he said.
On the issue of people putting the blame on illegal immigrants who obtained Malaysian citizenship and identity cards dubiously, for the intrusions, Teo said he believes the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on the presence of illegal immigrants in Sabah had looked into the matter comprehensively.
“The RCI, I believe, would have already looked into this very comprehensively. Its report has already been submitted to the government. However, to date the report has yet to be revealed. We just have to give a little more time for that and I am sure there will be recommendations, suggested by the RCI panel and we will go from there,” he said.
When asked if he supports the suggestion by former UPKO president Tan Sri Bernard Dompok that all identity cards issued in Sabah be recalled and re-issued only to genuine Sabahans, Teo replied: “If indeed there are ICs which were dubiously obtained by the illegal immigrants then we have to do something to cancel them. If there is evidence that can prove the ICs were obtained dubiously, then I would support the move.”
Meanwhile, DAP Sabah chairman Jimmy Wong also rallied on Sabahans to rise up and declare war against the intruders for taking the life of a policeman.
“Today, we lost a young and bright soul, a patriotic servant who served this country and state that we all love with pride and bravery. We owe it to him to make sure that his sacrifice will not go in vain.
“We, the people of Sabah, the citizens of this country, should rise up. It’s time to rise above partisan politics and unite as a nation, to stand up and say enough is enough and it’s high time to defend our sovereignty. It’s time to strike back. For what they have done to us last night … this means war!
“I call upon the Prime Minister and the Minister of Home Affairs to file an emergency motion. Our troops were shot at and abducted. This is serious. This is a national security crisis, and we, in the opposition, are ready to work with the government to take on this issue swiftly.
“I strongly urge the PM to call for an emergency Parliament session, allow representatives from both the BN and PR to discuss the solution and face the challenges ahead. It’s high time for BN and PR politicians to put aside our differences and unite for a national cause,” the Kota Kinabalu member of parliament said.
Jimmy stressed that the situation is serious as the country’s sovereignty is at stake and the intruders have come in and out of the state like it’s their own playground.
“We must make a stand. We must strike back. We may have our political differences in the past but at times like this is where we should unite like what Abraham Lincoln once said: “We are not enemies, we must not be enemies; though passion may have strained, it must not affect our bond of affection”.
“And, that common affection is Our People. Our security is at stake, the people of this beautiful state don’t deserve to live in fear. But instead, it’s time to strike fear back into our enemies’ heart, to make a loud and clear statement that we will not tolerate our people from being kidnapped/tortured/shot at, let alone our troops. This should be the true spirit of patriotism.
“To Datuk Seri Najib, they attacked us while you were leaving Sabah last night. They are provoking you, and they have drawn first blood. So I call upon the Prime Minister, who also is our commander-in-chief, to lead. And when you do, I assure you, the rest of us will follow suit. Be a man, do the right thing, and solve this once and for all!” Jimmy said.

Kuala Lumpur: A Malaysian police corporal was among six people detained as Sulu terrorist suspects in a special operation in Kunak district in Sabah, Wednesday.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar named the policeman as Corporal Zainuddin Mislani.
Also apprehended were Abu Bakar Jayari @ Alex, 60; Abu Bakar's son, Ilyasa Abu Bakar @ Maharaja Omar; Kassim Ibrahim (suspected illegal immigrant) and Industan @ Md Bustan Lumatang @ Hindustan, 55.
In a statement here Wednesday, Khalid said the operation also saw the arrest of Sitti Nukah Abdul Lama, 56, who is Kassim's wife.
"The latest arrests by the Bukit Aman Special Branch and Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) is a follow-up from the intrusion incident in Lahad Datu, Sabah in February last year," he said.
Khalid said the police also seized membership cards and commander appointment certificates of the Sulu sultanate, several documents linked to the sultanate, as well as weapons.
All of them were detained under Section 124(c) of the Penal Code and would be investigated under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma).
In February last year, a group of armed terrorists intruded into Lahad Datu in which 10 Malaysian security personnel comprising eight policemen and two soldiers were killed.

Panic as Esscom launches operation in Kunak

Published on: Thursday, June 26, 2014  http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news.cfm?NewsID=90194

Kunak: A wave of panic spread among villagers, sparking numerous speculations, at the sight of a huge number of security forces and military assets rolling into several villages here, early Wednesday. But Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) Director-General Datuk Mohammad Mentek quickly allayed fears, saying the town was safe and calm, refuting claims circulated via social media of a tense situation there.
Social media had it that Malaysian security forces exchanged fire with cross border criminals in Kunak. But Mohammad Mentek denied this.
He said the recent kidnapping in Kg Air Sapang had triggered Esscom to launch the 22nd integrated "Ops Gasak", which involved the army, police, Immigration Department and the National Registration Department The focus was on three villages, namely Kg Bakau, Kg Nelayan and Kg Basilan where tight security was mounted in the bid to trace those without legal documents.
"I hope the people will remain calm and not spread rumours, especially through the social media," he said in a statement.
A villager, who only wanted to be known as Roy, said he was shocked to see a huge number of security forces at the entrance to Kg Pangkalan.
"I was driving towards the jetty in the village but had to turn back when the security forces ordered me not to enter the Pangkalan area," he claimed.
He claimed that the route to Kg Pangkalan only returned to normal after 11am.
District Officer Susilo Sumarto, who is also the district Security Committee Chairman, said several routes to certain locations were closed such as Jalan Pangkalan Kunak heading towards the wet market as forces tightened security to track illegals, adding that no curfew was imposed in the district.
Esscom Director of Operations, Datuk Abdul Rashid Harun, said a total of 129 people believed to be illegal immigrants were detained in the operation carried out for seven hours from 3am on Wednesday.
He said all of them, including 34 women, were detained for having no valid identification documents, adding that the illegals were then brought to the Kunak community hall before being handed over to the Immigration Department.

215, no solution any time near

MMEA seizes overloaded ferry

Published on: Thursday, June 26, 2014http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news.cfm?NewsID=90203

Tawau: An overloaded passenger ferry heading to Nunukan, Indonesia was held by a Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) patrol team who were making routine checks at the Tawau Port Jetty here, Tuesday. District Maritime Enforcement Chief Captain Anor Jaafar said a total of 95 passengers were also detained for further action.
"A total of 38 people failed to produce legal documents, while 55 had legal passports but no approval from the Immigration Department for them to leave Malaysia," he said, adding that two people had MyKads but no legal documents to leave the country.
He said all the passengers including the ferry were brought to the Tawau MMEA jetty for investigations under the Immigration Act 1959 / 63.
On another note, Anor reminded ferry operators to abide by the existing rules and regulations.
He said overloading is very risky as it would threaten the safety of their passengers," he said, adding that MMEA views this matter seriously as it involves lives.
"We do not want boats capsizing similar to what happened in Sepang and Carey Island waters recently," he said.
He said MMEA will continue to monitor and patrol the area to ensure the safety of the country's waters, adding that those with any information can contact MERS 999 or their hotline at 089-752115.

214. Musa Aman should go

MAKE UP YOUR MIND AND MAKE THE STAND NOW, CM

What is Musa Aman going to do about the critical security scenario in Sabah now?

Who are dreaming now to hold the state security chief post?

Is he not responsible and be at the front line wherever “rebels” start some fire?

Can Sabah rely on the existing very limited security forces also infiltrated by those dubious citizens with project IC?

The time has come for the Crimes Master to resign now or face the massive consequence of what some may call it “internal problems” when it is going to escalate given the critical scenarios on all fronts also affect those transient people including project IC holders.

This is the REALITY and many CRIMINALS  in Government may be siding them and Sabah is going to face the brunt of previous and present plunders and or blunders of past and present.

So CRIMINALS in Government holding some sort of positions, make your stand clear – which side are you in for terrorism or for the peace of once so peaceful Sabah?

The other reality is that there are about TWO million dubious citizens in Sabah with questioned IC and plus the illegal without any proper document it is another Million.  So Sabah with a population of about 5 millions and the local genuine people are outnumbered.

So how long can Malaya’s armed forces stay in Sabah as the crisis is sure to escalate with the worsening economy when tourists avoid coming to Sabah, when businesses in tourism and fish farms are closing down and the dubious citizens would be jobless in greater number as months go by.

So we want SOLUTIONS and only the true God can help us in Sabah.

I can offer some solutions but the CRIMINALS in Government are passive and so we know where they stand.

This crisis is definitely going to make the nation BANKRUPT earlier.
