Posted on December 14, 2013, Saturday

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah mufti Bongsu @ Aziz Jaafar said the Syiah movement in Sabah has allegedly spread in rural areas where the district offices received 17 applications for muta'ah (contract marriage) and they were required to take oaths before district officers.

He said the spread of Syiah, allegedly through businesses, education, political parties and non-governmental organisations, was being monitored by the authorities.

Syiah is not a sect in Islam, instead its followers are obsessed with Saidina Ali whom they regard as the caliph after Prophet Muhammad, he said when delivering a talk on Syiah from the perspective of Ahli Sunnah Wal Jammaah organised by the Communication and Multimedia Ministry in Kepayan here yesterday.

Robbery: Only one accused in court as one shot dead, another paralysed

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 09:28 AM PST

KOTA KINABALU: The Sessions Court here yesterday set April 1–2 next year for the trial of two men, who were jointly charged with gang robbery three months ago.

Judge Ismail Brahim set the hearing date for Wan Ghazali Wan Aria, 30, and Wong Jong Shiun, 32, when their case came up for case management.

However, counsel Batholomew Jingulam, the defence counsel for Wan Ghazali and Wong drew the court's attention that another accused in this case, Lim Yee Xiang, had died.

According to Jingulam, it was learnt that Lim was shot dead while allegedly committing another offence and his co-accused Wong, believed to be paralyzed, has been admitted to a hospital. Only Wan Ghazali was present in court.

Jingulam then applied to discharge himself from representing Wan Ghazali and Wong.

In reply, deputy public prosecutor Nartiah F. Mirchelle Sambatan requested for Lim's death certificate as well as a medical certificate to confirm that Wong is paralyzed.

Wan Ghazali from Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Lim of Sri Damansara, Kuala Lumpur and Wong from Kepong, Kuala Lumpur were released on court's bail during their first arraignment in court.

The three accused persons were alleged to have robbed a woman of two laptops, two necklaces, two wristwatches, two cellphones, a Tab, a travelling bag and RM150 in cash at a house at Taman Bukit Sepanggar at about 11.35am on October 4.

They were jointly charged under Section 395 of the Penal Code which carries a maximum jail of 20 years and also liable to whipping, upon conviction.

In a separate case, Filipino Azmin Suharto, 26, pleaded not guilty to committing a similar offence.

He was accused of robbing a 19-year-old man of RM70 at the car park of a shopping complex here at 3.30pm on December 7 with another two accomplices, who are still at large.

The court fixed January 13 next year for case management and denied bail to the accused who has no valid travel document.
